Chapter 547： battle at sea

  Chapter 547 Fierce battle at sea

  Starting early in the morning on September 2nd in the third year of Tianxuan, the territory of Yizhen was preparing for the war that would start in the evening. Qu Mao also walked up the north wall of Yizhen after receiving the report from Fuer Swanpu.

  Although he knew that the sea battlefield was at least 50 kilometers away from Yi Island, and he couldn't see anything at all, not to mention the cliffs in the north, but Qu Mao still walked up the north wall.

  Su Yan persuaded Qu Mao not to go at first, but then she also felt Qu Mao's emotions, so she said nothing, just accompanied Qu Mao, and boarded the city wall to the north of Yi Town.

  Kong Ming and Xuande went to work separately. Qu Mao stood on the north wall of Yi Town, staring at the north. Although the line of sight was blocked by the cliff, Qu Mao knew that a fierce battle at sea would break out later.

Residents who were evacuated to the fishermen's village and nearby Yi Town were not as nervous as Qu Mao and Su Yan. On the morning of September 2, soldiers were still coming and going in Yi Town, so the residents who were evacuated to Yi Town followed the instructions of the administrative officials. Requirements, stay at the evacuation point and do not move around.

But since the afternoon, most of the army in Yi Town has left the city to set up defenses, and Yi Town has become quiet again, and the residents who were evacuated into Yi Town have become active. In life, who usually has the spare time to go to the city to play?

This evacuation to Yi Town, not only will the territory of Yi Town take care of food and housing, but a small number of families with children will also receive 10 silver coins from the Yi Town Town Hall. I went shopping.

   At least 50,000 residents were evacuated from Fisherman Village and its surrounding areas into Yi Town, and there were about 200 children.

  At 3:00 pm on September 2nd in the third year of Tianxuan, Kong Ming said to Qu Mao: "My lord, Sir Sylvia just communicated remotely with his subordinates."

   Qu Mao nodded and asked, "Did the navy see the enemy's warship?"

  Kong Ming said: "My lord, Sir Sylvia has ordered the navy to launch an attack at 3:30.

  Since such an order is issued, it is natural to see the first batch of invasion fleets from Liuwang Principality. "

   Qu Mao said: "Got it." After thinking for a while, he added: "The Liuwang Principality's invasion fleet has a total of 500 warships. According to previous estimates, it should be 50 kilometers to 100 kilometers away from Yi Island.

  As the commander in the rear, he can only choose to trust the heroes fighting on the front line. No matter how worried he is, he can only choose to trust Silvia on the front line. "

  Kong Ming smiled and said, "My lord, there is nothing to worry about. Sylvia deserves your trust."

   Qu Mao nodded and did not speak again.

  Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan, but did not speak.

After a while, Xinping walked up the north wall of Yi Town, rushed to Qu Mao, and said, "My lord, the intelligence personnel of Yancheng Port reported that the first invasion fleet of Liuwang Principality surrounded 50 troop carriers in the center of the fleet. The formation rushed towards our Yizhen territory.

  The subordinates have already notified Lord Sylvia of this information, and Lord Sylvia said that there may be some minor adjustments to the naval battle plan, and will report to Lord Xuande later. "

Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Sylvia was thinking of a frontal attack at the beginning, and penetrated the fleet of Liuwang Principality from the beginning to the end. Great difficulty.

  In this situation, how will Sylvia adjust? Sylvia wanted to give up the army on the 50 troop carriers to Zhao Pan.

  Zhao Pan and Chafidel also unanimously demanded that at least the army should be left to the army in the territory of Yizhen to deal with it. This may be a little troublesome. "

  Kong Ming said: "My lord, why don't we think about this issue as we walk towards the east wall. The main thing is that Sylvia makes adjustments on the fly, and we are just worried."

Qu Mao, Kong Ming, Su Yan, and Xinping walked along the north wall of Yi Town towards the east wall, and when they reached the corner of the wall, Xuande had already caught up with them and shouted: "My lord, Sylvia The navy has adjusted its battle plan."

  Stopped, Qu Mao turned back and waited for Xuande, and asked: "Oh, Sylvia has adjusted so soon?"

  Xuande caught up and said: "My lord, at first Sylvia planned a frontal assault, splitting the fleet of 500 warships of Liuwang Principality into two.

   Now knowing that 50 troop carriers are organized in the middle of the fleet, Sylvia decided to cut off the fleet of Liuwang Principality from the middle. Compared with before, more than 50 enemy warships may be landed on Yi Island.

  However, Sylvia has already contacted Mr. Zhao Pan, and Mr. Zhao Pan thinks the problem is not serious. "

Qu Mao nodded and said: "The army's problem should not be serious. I have seen the deployment of the army's troops. In the east of Yizhen, the army has assembled at least 100,000 people, including more than 10,000 fighters of the fourth rank and above. There are many people.

   Putting in 50 more warships is nothing more than a navy of about 10,000 people, which the army can eat. "

   Xuande said: "My lord, Sir Sylvia changed to the navy to cut it horizontally, and the battle has almost started.

   Let go of the warships and the warships that opened the way ahead. Those warships should be coming towards the territory of Yi Town, and the army needs to be prepared. "

   Qu Maodao: "Notify Zhao Pan and Chafidel, let them prepare early."

  The time came to 5 pm on September 2, the third year of Tianxuan. Qu Mao stood on the east wall of Yi Town for an entire afternoon. At this time, he could finally see the warships of the Duke of Liu appearing indistinctly on the sea to the east. "

Kong Ming walked aside with a goose feather fan and took a long-distance communication, then turned to Qu Mao and said, "My lord, the naval hero Fuer Swamp has reported that she has led 100 naval reinforcements to the battlefield and has cooperated with Sr Via Oshin besieged the intercepted fleet of Prince Liu.

  According to Mr. Fuer's visual estimation, there are about 200 warships of Liuwang Principality under siege. "

   Qu Mao asked: "Counting the 100 warships reinforced by Fuer, the total number of warships put into battle by our navy should be 400?"

  Kong Ming said: "Yes, my lord. Two warships fight one warship. It is estimated that the Yizhen Territory Navy has been established until now, and this is the first time such a battle has been fought."

   Qu Mao nodded, and said: "It's not a big problem to let them fight their own, and then report after the fight. I believe in the naval combat capabilities of the two of them.

   Now the enemy's warships can be seen on the east sea, is the army ready? "

   Xuande glanced at Dongfang, and said: "My lord, the army is still early. The enemy warships must at least scout the landing point. They can't land at the landing point we prepared. They will land directly."

  Xinping also glanced at it, and said, "My lord, it is estimated that the land battle will not start until after dark."
