2186 2148 Battle of the City of Holy Light

Holy Light City was also a very important city for the Southern Empire, not only because of the large population here, but also because this place is one of the most important transportation hubs on the Luan River. If it also falls, it will be for the entire war. It’s really possible for the people of Cao’s House of Business to go straight from here and be able to attack most of the cities under the Southern Empire. This is the worst nightmare for the Southern Empire, so it’s absolutely not allowed This kind of thing became a reality. Most people have seen what Cao’s House of Trade wants to do. The high-levels of the Southern Empire also wanted to have a controllable war with Cao’s House of Trade in the City of Light. They also knew this time. The victory or defeat of the war will definitely determine the future direction, because if the war fails, they will have no room for return. At that time, the Southern Empire may have to lose one-fifth or even more of the imperial territory in exchange for Cao. The armistice of the home and business firm, if it is possible now, it is estimated that it would be enough to lose one-twentieth. However, it is correct that the upper level of the Southern Empire did not recognize this. They believed that with the 50 million troops of the Holy Light City, Cao The army of the family firm was killed, and it will definitely become the end of the Cao’s family firm here. If you want to continue to compete with the southern empire here, it is impossible. This is not the southern coast, Cao It’s impossible for the people of the family business to love this place to succeed, that is, because most of the senior leaders of the southern empire think so, so they really may fail. This is also the battle between the southern empire and the Cao family business. The last battle, called the Battle of the City of Light in history, was also the most tragic battle between the two sides.

The battle started in three stages. In the initial stage, the person in charge sent by the Cao’s house was Wu En, commander of the Second Fleet of the Navy, as the main attack officer, and the Marine Corps was airlifted by airship. The members of the First Division became affiliates, because in the first stage, they mainly cleared some ships on the Luan River. The Marine Corps did nothing at this stage, although it killed more than 100,000. Of the army.But most of the troops of the Southern Empire rushed towards their barracks. With the help of more than a dozen airships, killing these troops is nothing worthy of publicity. On the contrary, the maritime combat performance is remarkable. of.There is nothing wrong with getting caught in the sea of ​​ships arranged by the Southern Empire. The authorities in the Southern Empire wanted to turn this place into a battlefield, so they gathered about 30,000 ships of various kinds. Of course Yes, the largest is 1,000-ton ships. There are about 3,000 such ships. Most of these are transport ships from the Cao’s house. After these ships were captured by the people of the Southern Empire, Because some of the modern things in it would not be used at all, each of these ships was decorated with style.It has become an old-fashioned sailing ship. In this era, their main way of attacking at sea is to get close and send their own personnel to the other party’s boat. If such an attack method faces the enemy of this era, it should be nothing. It’s a problem, but they didn’t look enough when facing the army of Cao’s House of Business. Their attack can be said to be a thousand years away from the artillery attack of Cao’s House of Business.

Wu En was born in a navy in the Eastern Empire.When the Cao’s House of Commercial Army attacked the navy led by Wu En, they used this method to attack the Cao’s House of Commercial Navy. At that time, the Cao’s Commercial House’s navy was not that big, and the artillery on both sides added up. That’s less than a hundred, but now the total number of artillery on both sides totals more than two hundred and fifty. This number is a very terrible number for them, and at that time these gunners were one by one. The gunners are not very skilled yet.At that time, a gunner used less than 100 rounds of training rounds at the most. This calibrator and everything needs to be improved, but now it’s different. These people can be said to be veterans, and they can easily use them. Those goals were killed, this kind of ability is still very good.If you fight against those people now, you will definitely have a good result. At that time, this situation was also because the fleet of Cao's Commercial Bank was not very familiar with this kind of coordinated combat, but even the original kind of fighting separately. It can also destroy the entire navy armies of the Eastern Empire led by Wu En at that time, and now they have trained the fleet for a long time.It is definitely not something that these improvised navy divisions of the Southern Empire can solve. Since these troops dare to come to the surface of the river, their result is already doomed, that is, they will be completely annihilated. Wu En has no mercy for them either. , This era is like this, if you fall behind you will be beaten.

On the first day of the Southern Empire, the Duke of Katara led a variety of ships with more than 10,000 ships to fight, because the lake around the city of Holy Light has been enlarged, so if you don’t look at it carefully , I thought it was on the sea. Some of the conditions here are also very satisfying for Wu En. Since there is such a large area, you can’t catch up with me, and you can’t beat me. It’s for you to pay a good price. Someone on the other side has already spread the word. If Wu En surrenders honestly, their millions of naval masters can make them all go back honestly, but this kind of thing is for anyone. It’s impossible to say. When your army of millions is on the water, it can be said that it is the same as nothing. Although your ships are the same and big, you can see by looking at your weapons. You should use bows and arrows and some A weapon like a small trebuchet. For the warships of Cao’s house, this kind of thing is a little threatening except the trebuchet. There is nothing else. This is impossible. If you want to use this, you can defeat it. People from the Cao’s House of Business, don’t dream. At the beginning of the war, many people in the Southern Empire thought they could win. The two sub-squadrons would be more than 20 warships, and the number would be tens of thousands. The southern empire’s army is dozens of times larger than theirs, but they don’t think about it anymore. Almost every battle is your millions of people being driven away by our hundreds of thousands, just like driving sheep. You don’t remember the result.

Wu En observed the river surface at that time. The army of the Southern Empire wanted to outflank it in two ways. The width of the river surface around this area had reached nearly 20 kilometers, and the water depth was all right, even for investigation. No investigation is required.In the past, the transport ships of Cao’s Commercial Bank had already explored some of the conditions here very clearly. Where there is such a reef underwater is very certain, and they are all familiar with these things. Southern Empire They also have their own plans.They just hope to encircle the warships of Cao’s House of Business. At that time, they can consume them. Anyway, they have a lot of ships. As long as the warships of Cao’s House of Business are besieged by them, no matter how powerful they are, The final result will definitely be eaten, that is, the loss will be greater. Wu En of Cao’s house also knows about this, so he will never do this. What he has to do is to let the two fleets The people are divided into two columns.Directly rush to the queue of the Southern Empire, the speed must not be reduced, go in and kill a seven-in and seven-out, then the navy of the Southern Empire will directly collapse, and there may be no need for seven-in and seven-out.They saw that the Cao’s Navy’s navy was so powerful, they probably didn’t have the will to fight. Fighting at sea. This kind of cooperation is especially important. If you run away on land, you will run with a few people at most. At sea, if a ship escapes, it will escape with the surrounding ships.This result is not something everyone can afford.

The Marine Corps has also received Wu En’s order. The order given to them is to stand by and wait for assistance. They are also the only land army that can carry out siege, and they must not be given by the Southern Empire army. Kill it, once the war starts, no matter what the situation is at sea.The troops on this land can't make any moves, they can only stay there honestly. If there are troops from the Southern Empire around, as long as they are not attacking you, don't worry about it.The maritime affairs are handled by the navy. You can keep yourself and leave them with two airships. These two airships are tools for them to use for reconnaissance. They must also know the navy at all times. Trending, if the navy is really defeated, they must build a larger area, because the people of the navy are dead, their pressure will definitely come over immediately, they must stand firm and wait until the Cao’s house The army came, so for them, if the navy were destroyed, they would not be able to hold on for a long time under the siege of a large number of troops of the Southern Empire. The final result was also killed, so for the war at sea, They are definitely paying great attention to them, and they must not make any mistakes. Otherwise, their back roads will really be gone. It is not a trivial matter for anyone, especially their marines. , It is absolutely impossible for them to rely on the strength of one of their divisions to defeat the Holy Light City. That is unrealistic, and no one has that idea.

"Keeping our distance from them, we must not get caught up in their entanglement. Although we are all equipped with hand crossbows, our number is still too small. They now exchange a hundred people for each of us and we will feel It’s very worthwhile. We just have to persist for thirty hours. After thirty hours, our army will have reinforcements. If we can’t persist, if they are prepared, we will not be able to cause any consequences. Now, although we have caused a lot of panic to the people of the Holy Light a few days ago, we have used a lot of shells. This war is definitely not a little bit. Tell the following Brothers, you have to aim and fight, otherwise you may run out of ammunition and food. Fighting deep behind enemy lines is such helplessness." Wu En said to his deputy, the commander of another squadron, both of them. In the past, they came from the navy of the Eastern Empire, and they didn’t think much of this war. In their opinion, it was not a war at all. It might be a massacre, but no matter what It is said that everything here is not so easy to deal with, especially seeing the huge fleet of today, with tens of thousands of large and small ships in front of me, and there are only 20 ships on my side. This is all for anyone. It’s unbearable. Looking at the shores on both sides, all the troops are from the Southern Empire. Except underwater, they are from the Southern Empire. If they can’t win, they have no choice but to feed the fish. , Very helpless.

"We have brought a lot of cannonballs, because we were determined to blow up the Holy Light City into a waste area, but there is another trouble, that is, if our two columns advance, we will turn around. There is a lot less room. On the map, we set sail from shop a. We have to come back when we get to point x, but what should we do if we all reach that place at the same time, we must have a fleet to watch there Then, the other fleet began to turn around. In this way, the enemy may have opportunities due to the weakening of firepower. So I suggest that both of our fleets should become one column, which is also a threat to them. Although our strikes may be lowered by a level, it is also a lot safer for us." Before that, the Southern Empire would not have thought that the Southern Empire would acquire so many troops, so some of their arrangements seemed a little bit different at this time. It's not right, so certain changes must be made, and this is what must be changed for them.Temporary amendments to the combat agreement are not impossible, but it may be troublesome to keep informed, but it is much better to be troublesome than to suffer heavy losses. As for now, they have to make adjustments.Otherwise, it is possible to lose one-half of their troops. As long as it is possible, they can’t do it. To be honest, they don’t know where their future lies. It is because the power contrast is so great this time. Big, almost reaching the ratio of 1 to 500, the combat effectiveness is strong.With such a ratio, it is difficult to do much, and they all know that such a result is terrifying.

For a thousand years, Wu En admired such a military method. In this way, Guangdong was attacked according to manpower. In the end, the key to victory is to see how many people of his own are on the opponent’s ship. How many people are on your ship.If this kind of thing really continues to develop, it is estimated that Cao’s army will not have any hope of winning. The difference in numbers between the two of them is really too large, so they will definitely not follow their ideas. It is not possible to follow their way.The Cao’s family firm will have its own set of combat methods, that is, let its own army quickly intersperse among their warships, relying on their own rapid attacks, so that their people will not be able to reach themselves. It is impossible for some of their warships to rush to their side, and then they may be victorious in the end. Of course, it is impossible to wipe out these people, but they must give their fighting will to Just defeat it. At that time, Cao’s reinforcements came. If they continue to fight like this, it is estimated that they will be wiped out. The Cao family’s army is also very supportive of this method. Yes, for them, they all understood this kind of battle very well. These people were also proficient in facing this kind of battle. Back then, tens of millions of navy divisions in the Eastern Empire were killed in that way. It's just that the difference between now and then is that one is on the sea and the other is in the inland river. There are still some areas that need attention.

When you are at sea, you don’t need to pay attention to the speed of the ship and the edge. It’s not good here. After all, this is an inland river. Although it is already very wide, sometimes it is completely different from the sea. Some places here have edges, and places very close to the shore are where the army of the Southern Empire is located. If they are too close, their bows and arrows will be fired and shot towards this side. If the ship is true Some things are a little difficult to do if they catch fire. On the one hand, they have to pay attention to the fire, and on the other hand, they have to take care of the enemy’s offensive. It is really a big test for the Cao’s army. They also have their own ideas in this regard, that is, they can’t make detours and go in a straight line. Although it will make the Cao’s commercial firm’s offensive become somewhat scattered, the same Chimelong composed of more than 20 search ships will also If the southern empire’s army could not find a good time to attack, they would also not know where to start. Only in this way could the southern empire’s army be dispersed. In this way, it is still a member of the Cao family firm. It's more glamorous. After Wu En's combat plan is set, the entire fleet will begin to operate. There must be no delay at this time, because if you go out in this way, the enemy is not ready, it will definitely give them a tragic blow. Yes, if they are ready, I don't know what the situation will be. The Duke of the Southern Empire over there probably doesn't know that the Cao's merchants are already ready.

Don't look at the people of the Southern Empire facing a huge ocean, but their navy is a core fleet to tell the truth. Although there are many ships, they have no experience at all.It's okay to bully the common people to collect taxes or something, but they would fight against the navy of Cao's Chamber of Commerce, which is so powerful, they didn't even think about it.In their opinion, they must win, because the gap between the two armies is too big, but no one wants their men to be the first wave of attackers, because most of the people who go up in the first wave will Become cannon fodder, these people are all like hedgehogs one by one. It is impossible to fight against them. I don’t know how many people will be killed by them, so they all want others to rush to them. Confrontation, and then go up to pick up the bargain, but if everyone thinks so.This thing is not so easy to do. Someone has to sacrifice. The first group of 2,000 big ships are to be sacrificed. The soldiers above them are shaking their legs in fear. Look at Cao. They were already very scared of the black cannon protruding from the warship of the company.I have never seen such a thing before. I heard that the kind of cannonballs produced by this thing only need one to sink the ship under their feet. In fact, the ship under their feet is already in their opinion. Very good, they have never used it before, but now they see the warships of Cao's Commercial Bank that they know the difference between merchant ships and warships.

Because they don't know how to use the motor above, there is no way to make the ship run fast, they can only turn the ship into that kind of sailboat again.If this speed is not so slow in normal times, but now it is like an ant compared to the warships of the Cao Jiashang firm. People are still far away from themselves just now. Just in front of my own eyes, this ability really surprised me, and another reason is why people's warships have a sense of oppression when they come over.The number of them is one percent of ours, but people like me didn’t feel oppressive in the past, but people on my side felt very scared, especially when the guns came out, they were even more scared. Up.These people see those guns. Although they don’t know how they attacked, they can still imagine it. After all, they also have a lot of people coming back from the front line. According to what those people said, don’t look at your people. There are so many, if you are not careful, it is estimated that the people of Cao’s Commercial Bank can easily kill you. Don’t think that this is a joke with you, it may become true. There are many things. It’s like this at the time, and I don’t know the final result yet, but I lost psychologically. Wu En knew the expressions on their faces. The shelling a few days ago was effective. If you want to fight against us, first defeat yourselves. If you can't defeat yourself, it will be bad luck.

"Quickly intersperse, you must rush over for half an hour, no matter what kind of warships you encounter on both sides, they will all be sunk for me. They must not be allowed to come over. Fifty soldiers are prepared on each side of the ship. All are equipped with the strongest serial crossbow. As long as I see a ship approaching us, immediately kill all the people on it, so even if their ship comes, it doesn’t matter if there is no one on it. If their weapon hits us, we must deal with it as soon as possible. Once our warship loses combat capability, we should immediately withdraw from the column. You cannot let all the fleet be buried with you because of your ship’s mistake." Wu En gave his order, and all the soldiers on this ship arrived at their positions. There were four super serial crossbows on the deck of the warship. Two soldiers operated one. With such a thing, even if the enemy ship approached, It’s not that simple for them to board the warship of Cao’s house. It’s definitely possible to tear them apart at the first time. This makes the wounded warships to withdraw from the column, which is actually announcing their deaths. At that time, the Cao’s Commercial Bank’s navy would definitely not make such a decision, but now it is also a behavior that can’t be helped. If you don’t do that, you may end up with considerable damage in the end. What you have to do now is sacrifice. Some people can make most people alive. It is very cruel for a commander to make such a decision, but if he doesn't do that, things are really hard to get through.

Seeing that the warships of Cao’s House of Business began to change, the Navy of the Southern Empire (of course, that’s the name. If they could become a navy) was already ready, and they felt the helplessness of these people at this time. Now, because they don't have the initiative to start the war, they can only wait here.There is simply no possibility of taking the war in their own hands. They have all set sail. At this time, you can see how useless these people are. In order to fight for the front seat, a ship At this time, the ships no longer have the momentum they had just now. They all want to be able to run out of these ships because the gathering is too close now. They know that if the artillery comes over, they can just be The surrounding ships were all bombed down, which is absolutely impossible.With such a selfish heart, it’s not that simple for them to rush out. Each of these people feels that the surrounding ships are competing with them. It is estimated that if there were no warships of Cao’s family, they would also It can be done at this time.The artillery of the Cao’s house began to greet them. The artillery fired, and a shell came over and hit the center of dozens of ships. This was a boil, and the surrounding ships were overturned. Yes, the one in the middle is the worst.It cracked directly, and the sea water quickly went in. With dozens of other shells, they attacked in the first round and won the victory.

The first attack frightened most of the people in the Southern Empire. They had never thought that such a thing would happen.In their opinion, people like them can kill the warships of Cao's business with a single mouthful of saliva. Who knows if they didn't kill them, they made the people on their side look like this, a few leading people. People hurriedly greeted their own people and rushed up, but their words made those people rush to fear.What are you going to do?Didn’t you see the attack from the Cao’s house just now? What we have to do now is not to rush up, but to leave here quickly. It’s best to run farther, if we can get to the warship of the Cao’s house. The place outside the range of the upper cannon is the best, but the result will not be very good. It can be seen now. Some people want to go to the front, some people want to go to the back. This ship It’s all mixed together, one by one, I don’t know what I want to say. Each of these people doesn’t know what to do. They look at the people in front who want to take their own People are killed, it seems that their opponents are no longer Cao's people, but these people in front of them. Once they regard their own people as opponents, what danger is there for such people?The warships of Cao’s House of Commerce will naturally not give up such a good opportunity. Twenty ships began to bombard the wooden ships here violently, and one ship after another was hit, even if it was not hit. Yes, but those who were too close to the explosion point were also overturned into the water, and their losses were really much greater.

The officers of the Southern Empire shouted vigorously for the people below to comply with the stated actions, but the artillery attack made them all have no idea. At this time, several ships on the edge saw that they could go out. Hopefully, they immediately began to set up the sails. If these people can rush to the warships of the Cao's House of Commerce, they will definitely be a little troublesome for the warships of the Cao's House of Commerce, but they don’t have that idea. What they have to do It turned out to be fleeing, yes, fleeing in the direction of Holy Light City, the people on board are the troops of Holy Light City, they don't want to defend the city at all, they know that it is impossible to fight when they see the warships of Cao's house. , And it’s not an opponent. If they really fight, the final result will be killed. They can’t let this happen, so their ship’s boss immediately decided that if they want to run, they must not stay. Several rounds of shelling have passed. Thousands of people died. So many people died within a minute of the war, and many more people fell into the water. It is estimated that these people will not be able to survive, and they must die in them. As far as people are concerned, they are dead in their own hands. If the boats next to them can only drop a rope, they may be able to survive, but none of these ropes will come down. It is their own I don’t know what’s going on in life. What does the life and death of these people have to do with us? You fell into the water and you were drowned. That’s your own business. Who told you to have bad luck? If your luck is good If you do, you won’t go into the water anymore. Now there is such a result.It can only be based on the bad life of the individual, and the others are just like this.

Ten minutes into the war, Wu En and their fleet had already advanced about 4,000 meters in the ten minutes.They fired a total of 12,450 shells. They ran to the middle of these fleets. The nearest southern empire warship was also several kilometers away. At their current speed, they would have it in a few minutes. They might pass through these warships. At that time, according to Wu En’s tactics, they will immediately turn around and rush back again. It is estimated that such a rush can bring these thousands of warships into chaos. In fact, those people are already Entered into chaos.They were able to maintain a safe direction at the beginning, but now they are all self-contradictory. It is not so easy to start activities. Just when Wu En thought they had already won, everything changed. It's not the same as before.There was a white light on the walls of the city of Holy Light. Damn, magic cannons. This was Wu En’s first thought. Indeed, this is the twenty magic cannons on the city of Holy Light. The attack power of this thing is as great as Like the laser cannon on the earth.If dealing with a large area of ​​the army, it would certainly not have much effect, but it would be no problem to deal with such a small fleet. Wu En immediately let the airship in the sky go over and kill the magic cannons, and he himself It will speed up the speed of the warships. If they are targeted by these guys, they definitely have the ability to kill them.It is absolutely not allowed to let such things happen, they can't die in the hands of magic cannons.

The first wave of magic cannons was very powerful. Several water columns tens of meters high appeared on the river, but there were still hundreds of meters away from the warship of Cao's House.Wu En knows that these people are shooting blindly, so it is estimated that their ship will be injured or even sunk during the next attack. They will definitely adjust their shooting Zhuyuan, if they adjust it well. It’s time for them to be beaten. The airship of the Cao’s House of Business will take at least a few minutes in the past. If they are transferred with the magic cannon, they will not be able to hit them. Anyway, the Southern Empire is here. With weapons that can compete with Cao’s army, magic cannons are one of the most powerful things. Although each cannon costs hundreds of thousands of silver, the price is very high. It’s too important for the empire. Even if it’s millions of dollars per shot, they will pay the money. The volley just now cost 8 million taels of silver. Just one experiment will cost you so much. , If this continues, I don’t know what will happen. They have adjusted one by one, but when they haven’t adjusted well, the artillery of Cao’s firm has already arrived first. The cannonball exploded here. Although the magic cannon was not broken, it also made them feel dangerous. Moreover, the warships of the Cao's House were changing their positions in order to allow more artillery to be directed. Here, once the adjustments are made, there will be guns like raindrops coming over.

"Don't worry about their offense, fire me the cannon, see clearly, they are also afraid, if they are not afraid, they will definitely not care about you, the magic cannon in your hand is our most important tool now, give me Hit them, let them know that we are great, and we have weapons to deal with them, so that the navy don’t look at them anymore. When is the time, tell them, let me rush over now, Their mission is not to watch them there, let them rush to me, while they are shooting magic cannons, that is, when they attack, they will become the first people to defeat the Cao’s merchant navy, and they will all become the empire. The hero." The duke on the city wall shouted vigorously. He was also holding the possibility of firing the magic cannon. He didn’t expect this thing to be really good. These things have been forgotten. The time for peace in the empire is too long. It’s okay now. Those people have something to stop them. After receiving the Duke’s order, these messy ships finally knew what they should do. They also felt what happened. At this time, they should indeed seize the opportunity. If they can seize this opportunity, they will definitely be able to deal a blow to the warships of Cao’s business, but if they cannot seize this opportunity, they Maybe they will be killed. Regarding the problem of their own heads, no one will delay things. One by one, they rushed towards Cao’s house. Now the biggest danger of the Cao’s house is coming. .

"Stay steady and divide into two teams. No. 112 and No. 113 will attack the magic cannons on the wall with all their strength. The remaining ships will continue to intersperse with me. You must not mess up our formation. You are both 112 and 113 behind. I follow, your task is the magic cannon on the city wall. They are not allowed to play the next round. If they do, you will block me with your own hull and tell their captain that they must follow. , If they fall behind, they know what will happen." Wu En made a correct decision at this time. Compared with the warships below, the magic cannon on the top can be said to be something that disturbs their sight. It doesn’t have much effect at all, and these things are not very dangerous to them. The damage they bring to them is only a little. They only have more than 20 magic cannons, and none of the gunners have been trained. They are not good at shooting accuracy or speed. As long as the people in Cao’s house keep up with the speed, their ability to strike is not that good. For people in Cao’s house, as long as they are strictly in accordance with Wu If you do what you say, you won’t suffer. It’s absolutely impossible to get entangled. If they are entangled by these warships below, they really can’t run out. The density of these warships is really high. It's too big, and now their artillery doesn't need to be aimed at. Anyway, as long as it is shot out, the clan can hit the target. Of course, this target is not what they thought, it was casually hit.
