It turned out that the news that the Nanyang Navy of the Wei Kingdom defeated the Qiongzhou Navy and quickly captured Qiongzhou Island caused shock throughout Nanyang. The three countries of Nanyang, Sri, Jietu and Java, all felt unprecedented threats.

You must know that the national power of these three countries is not too strong. Before, because the naval power of the Huaxia Dynasty was always relatively weak, they were able to sit back and relax.But now the Nanyang Navy of the Great Wei has already shocked the Quartet. If Yizhou is taken down again, the entire South China Sea can be remotely controlled by relying on the second island of Qiongyi.

Although the Great Wei might not go south to invade the Three Kingdoms arbitrarily, at least it would have a huge impact on the geopolitics here, making the situation completely out of the control of the three countries in Nanyang, and this is something they don't want to see.That's why the Jie Tu Kingdom sent a fleet of 300 elite warships to assist Yizhou, which was like helping Yizhou in a timely manner.

As a powerful country in naval warfare, Jietu Kingdom has fast-moving warships, strong firepower, and well-trained sailors. With this fleet joining, Xiao Dong immediately felt even more powerful. He said confidently: "In this way, we will fight against Wei Jun Let's start a head-to-head confrontation!"

The warships from Qiongzhou and Jietu Kingdom totaled 900 warships, which is already a very impressive number for naval warfare.And these 900 warships are not as weak as the navy that Qiongzhou Navy claimed to surpass its predecessors at that time.The Qiongzhou Navy focuses on flexible assault tactics, and the warships are light in size. The so-called warships over a thousand are, to put it bluntly, larger sea boats.

The difference is that the 900 warships in Yizhou are all large and medium-sized warships equipped with poles, crossbows, and rams, which can be called a majestic navy.If it was the weak navy in the past, it might only be hanged in front of this combined fleet.

However, now that the Wei Navy has a big-winged treasure ship and Zheng Chenggong, the god of naval warfare, everything is completely different.

There was no change from the previous expedition to Qiongzhou. Wei's navy still had the same 500 warships, and was still at a numerical disadvantage. Therefore, Li Peizhen was a little worried. He said to Zheng Chenggong:

"General Zheng, the warships in Yizhou are ferocious. I heard that they have elite warships from the Kingdom of Jie Tu to help them this time. Should we consider avoiding their edge?"

Zheng Chenggong said confidently: "It's okay, I only need 500 warships to defeat all his powerful enemies!"

He talked about the situation, but he didn't underestimate his opponent tactically.This is in line with the old saying: Strategically, we must despise the enemy, but tactically, we must pay attention to the enemy.

He considered that Yizhou's warships are fierce in melee attacks, and that the large warships of Jietu Kingdom have powerful firepower, which can cover the warships. If they first use eagle ships to harass Qiongzhou like the last time they attacked Qiongzhou, then use tiger ships to charge, and finally The way the big-winged treasure ships attack is likely to cause one's own ships to be destroyed one by one by the enemy.

Therefore, Zheng Chenggong adjusted his tactics wittily and flexibly, and used the trick of "all the stars hold the moon" instead.

The so-called "stars holding the moon" means that every squadron has a big-winged treasure ship as the core, and the surrounding ships are closely guarding the treasure ship, staying close at every step, so as to ensure that the treasure ship can pour firepower like the enemy's fleet as much as possible.

The warships of the two armies finally meet, and the war is about to break out!

Chapter 438

Xiao Dong saw Wei Jun's warships divided into 25 small groups on his flagship, and he couldn't help laughing: "I thought Wei Jun was so powerful, but now it seems that the Qiongzhou gang is too bad!"

No wonder he is so disdainful. In traditional naval battles, scattered formations will cause the attack to lose its center of gravity, and the squadron can easily be surrounded by places, let alone divided into as many as 25 squads.

Hu Binguang, the general of the Jietu Kingdom, also laughed wildly: "Hahaha, then congratulations to the king for defending the treasure island, and the future counterattack to the Central Plains is just around the corner!"

Hu Binguang's horse was like a tide, making Xiao Dong smile constantly.

But this kind of smile didn't last long, and was blocked by the roar of firing from the big winged treasure ship ahead.

Thunderbolt!Winch crossbow!Godfire Flying Crow!

The big winged treasure ship is like a pea shooter that has been upgraded to Gatling in Plants vs. Zombies, crackling and bursting out beans. Of course, what it spits out is not beans, but boulders, crossbows and burning fireballs.

It's not that the Yizhou army failed to notice the battleships of the Wei army surrounded by stars and moons.But at the beginning, they only thought of this thing as a stupid guy with little use, and it was too late when they realized the power of the big winged treasure ship.

One after another, the Allied warships were covered by the long-range shots of Wei Jun's treasure ships and sank into the sea, disappearing into ashes.

Xiao Dong's complexion was as ugly as if he had eaten gall, and Hu Binguang was on the verge of crying.Of course Xiao Dong had to fight to the death in order to keep his territory, but they, Jie Tu Kingdom, only supported Yizhou for strategic considerations. If it had been said earlier that there was a possibility of annihilation of 300 warships, it would be considered as killing the king of Jie Tu Kingdom Wouldn't do such a thing!

But until now, the coalition forces have no way out, so they have to fight hard. The only hope is to break through the obstacles on the periphery and concentrate their efforts to destroy these 25 terrifying treasure ships.

So Xiao Dong ordered the whole army to attack, as if warships don't need money, to destroy Wei Jun's treasure ships at all costs!

"Scatter! Move and shoot!" But Zheng Chenggong is such a master of naval warfare, how could he allow Xiao Dong's wishful thinking to succeed?As soon as he saw the movement of the Yizhou army, he knew Xiao Dong's plan, and immediately fine-tuned his tactics.

The 25 large-winged treasure ships were ordered to start spinning around the Yizhou army like a top, widening the distance, and using the shooting ability of the treasure ships to attack the opponent!

This tactic caused greater damage to the Yizhou Navy, but under their charge regardless of cost, they still approached several squadrons.

At this time, Yizhou's ace weapon-the racket finally played a role. Although Wei Jun's ships were built very strong, they were not steel and iron after all. Once they were attacked by the racket of the Yizhou warship, they would still suffer heavy losses. .And if the frigate in front is broken by the enemy, and the big-winged treasure ship in the rear is approached by the enemy or even a side-to-side battle occurs, it is tantamount to wasting one's own advantages.

Therefore, Li Peizhen on the flagship saw it clearly, and immediately commanded all the long-range troops to focus on destroying the Yizhou Army's shooting ships equipped with shooting rods.

Soon, the soldiers on these shooting ships found themselves unlucky. No matter where their warships moved, they would be targeted by the firepower of the treasure ships and chased after them. On the other hand, other warships around them were ignored.

Under Li Peizhen's focused surveillance, the Yizhou army, which had launched a charge recklessly, suffered rapid damage and quickly lost its threat to the Wei army.At this time, the tiger ships and eagle ships of the Wei army also came out to harvest the opponent Yizhou army, showing their decline.

Chapter 439

In fact, when it comes to one-on-one combat, Wei Jun's tiger ships are stronger than the Pai ships in terms of tonnage and tiger ships. The reason why they avoid their edge is just to maximize their benefits.After all, sea battles are not just about human lives. In a sense, sea battles are actually about money!

For more money, there are more ships of better quality.Therefore, in the military, the navy is often the symbol of a country's national strength. This is not to say that the navy is more important than the army, but that the navy burns more money than the army!

In fact, if Xiao Dong hadn't been frightened by the Wei army and launched a dash regardless, but instead used the advantage of his backhand to fight according to the favorable location, he would have been able to play a better role in shooting ships instead of ruining the Yizhou army in vain. baby.

But on-the-spot command is like this, only the truly wise and brave can make the most accurate judgment!

As for an idiot like Xiao Dong, he only found out that his own warships were getting fewer and fewer, and he couldn't even see a single one of them. At this moment, a panic rising from the bottom of his heart overwhelmed him.

If Yizhou is breached by the Wei army, everything he owns will be shattered!The current Xiao Dong can be regarded as a separatist force in China, but he is much more comfortable than a separatist warlord or prince in the traditional sense!Because for hundreds of years, no matter how the political situation in the Central Plains changed, his Yizhou Island was as stable as Mount Tai.

If Wei's navy can't beat them, the Nanyang Three Kingdoms will not be so stupid as to attack this natural barrier and face the mighty Wei State directly.Yizhou Island, surrounded by oceans on all sides, has thus become a paradise-like place, and here, although the ruler of Yizhou has not proclaimed himself emperor, he is no different from the emperor in terms of power.It can be said that in the island, the wind is the wind, and the rain is the rain. Who wants to lose such a day!

"Your Majesty, I think we might as well retreat to Changyi Port, we still have Wanghai Tower to defend against danger!" At this moment, a wise person around Xiao Dong finally made a suggestion.

"That's right!" Xiao Dong slapped his head, cursing himself for being so stupid that he was so stubborn that he wanted to fight Wei Guo to the end, but he forgot to take advantage of his own defense.

"Back to Changyi Port, all Wanghai towers are full of feathered archers!" Xiao Dong then ordered.

Wanghai Tower is a defense facility built along the coast of an important seaport in Yizhou ordered by a wise heir of the ancestor of the Xiao family in Yizhou.It looks like an ordinary viewing pavilion on the outside, but in fact, a double-layer defense structure of mudstone + iron plate is used inside, and each building is covered with densely packed archery slots.The archery trough in Wanghai Tower has small and dense holes, so the feathered archers in it can shoot almost completely without damage.

Although due to technical reasons, Wanghai Tower shoots ordinary feathered arrows, not as powerful as the Thunderbolt Cannon and Winch Crossbow on the Big Wing Treasure Ship, but it is stronger because the feather arrows are too dense, and Wanghai Tower is built on the most dangerous terrain. From a high place, condescending and taking advantage of gravity, even ordinary arrows can cause great damage to ships and sailors!

In fact, the detailed Yizhou report sent back by Ning Ke focused on the defense facility of Wanghai Tower and listed it as one of the difficulties to overcome. It's a pity that even Zheng Chenggong didn't come up with a good way to crack it.

Seeing that the Yizhou army finally remembered to use Wanghai Tower to defend, Zheng Chenggong and Li Peizhen frowned, and could only tentatively order the big-winged treasure boat and eagle boat to shoot at Wanghai Tower.

But soon they discovered that this kind of attack had little effect. No matter how powerful the attack power of the treasure ship is, it is still a moving warship. Facing fixed defensive buildings, its power will be weakened a lot, and the treasure ship is not good at defense. , Once the defenders on the Wanghai Tower start shooting, it must be Wei Jun who suffers.

In this way, these large arrow towers along the coast of Changyi Port finally disabled a treasure ship of the Wei Army. This victory made the Yizhou Army rejoice, but the morale of the Nanyang Navy was somewhat frustrated.

"There is no other way, we must land on the beach!" Zheng Chenggong ordered decisively.

In the face of land defense facilities, after all, it is still necessary to rely on land troops to resolve the battle.

Wei Jun changed his tactics again, pulling away both the eagle ship and the treasure ship, relying on the firepower of the treasure ship and the escort of the tiger ship, let the elephant boat approach the enemy's coastline!

Under the cover of the firepower of the Wei army, the warships of the Yizhou army could not take the lead at all, and could only rely on the arrows on the Wanghai tower to prevent the elephant boat from landing.But the elephant boat itself was wrapped in thick armor, and it was a super-powerful landing ship born for beach landing operations. Therefore, although Wanghailou was raining arrows like locusts, Wei Jun's elephant boat gradually approached the beach after all.

Chapter 440 Landing Battle

When Wei's well-trained "marines" filed out of the elephant boat, the battle was coming to an end.

The rain of arrows from Wanghailou is a fatal blow to the naked warships on the sea, but it is nothing to the well-trained marine battalion!They have faced the iron hooves of the Huns, the soft flying rides, and conquered countless fortified cities. How can all these in front of them stop them!

The generals of the Marine Battalion commanded well, and the soldiers of the Wei Army quickly set up their formations. The crossbowmen with the big shields at the front and the rear launched a counterattack against the positions on the beach. What's more frightening is that the elephant boats of the Wei Army even carried war horses. , The soldiers of the marine battalion jumped on their horses and became heroic knights!
