Chapter 600 Final Battle ([-])

Two days later

Haizhongzhou

After sailing westward for several days, Yang Xuangan's navy failed to return to the city that never sleeps, but went to Haizhongzhou naturally.

It used to be the fishing ground of Liang State under Yan, but now it is occupied by the Sui Empire.

The battleship has arrived, but the troop carrier is still far away, and the supply ship is even slower. Looking behind him, he can't even see where the supply ship is. It seems that they are too far behind.

On the distant sea, the warships of the Yan Kingdom had already caught up, and first threw flints at the supply ships of the Sui Empire.

Boom!

A ship was hit by the flint, and the whole ship was set on fire by the flint, and at the same time it was cut off in the middle, and the ship sank to the bottom of the sea.

This is something that the empire has never thought of. They have never fought naval battles, and their understanding of naval battles is still limited to transporting troops and jumping to fight. At most, they shoot arrows at each other when the distance is relatively close. Throwing flint at such a distance.

Fix the catapult/original cannon on the battleship, and use the catapult on the ship. This is Yan's new expansion of naval warfare.

Due to the large size of the catapult, each warship has only one original cannon fixedly installed, and it is installed vertically on the deck, but there are frontal and reverse verticals, that is, some warships can throw flints at the enemy. , some battleships can throw flints at the enemy from the stern.

In addition to the vertical original cannon/catapult, there is also a bed crossbow installed horizontally in the cabin, which can penetrate the enemy's hull at a medium distance, causing the enemy's ship to leak and sink.

The sailors on the supply ship waved their flags to signal that they were under attack.

Afterwards, such military information was conveyed through the military flags of one ship after another, and it was not long before it reached the main ship where Yang Xuangan was.

"What? Our grain ship is being attacked?"

Yang Xuangan turned pale with shock, the empire's fleet was too large, he couldn't see what was going on with his other ships at all, and could only find out through military reports.

In addition to [Flint Battleship] [Bow Crossbow Battleship], Yan Kingdom also has a small flexible and fast warship. In order to improve speed and flexibility, this kind of warship does not have the original cannon and bed crossbow, and does not even reserve much space Store people and supplies, all built for speed.

Because of its high speed, it was named "Flying Bird Battleship" by Yan State.

It can be said that this kind of [Flying Bird Warship] is useless except for its speed and flexibility. It cannot fight long-distance, has a small space, cannot transport materials and personnel, has a small hull, and has no advantage in short-distance jumping.

It's nothing but fast!
However, some tactics need to be implemented quickly.

Like... arson!
The Asuka battleship quickly interspersed among the fleet of imperial supply ships. The sailors on the battleship ignited the gunpowder packs in their hands and threw them onto the imperial ships.

There are also torches, kerosene, etc., everything is available.

"What kind of boat is this? So small? And so fast?"

The soldiers of the empire couldn't believe it. They stood on the huge grain ship and watched the small Yan State warships gallop past on the sea, throwing all kinds of inflammable materials on their ships.

After some material ships of the empire were ignited, they galloped frantically towards the shore, and the soldiers on board wanted to go ashore to survive.

However, this approach has caused misery to the comrades-in-arms. More and more material ships that have not been attacked are also drawn into fire by other material ships that have been ignited.

The raging flames burned on the sea, and more and more ships were swallowed by the sea of ​​flames.

"Damn it! Who allowed them to come here?"

Yang Xuangan was furious, and hurriedly let the battleship dock, and let the soldiers on the battleship shoot arrows at the burning material ships that were rushing towards them.

"Stop them, don't let them approach, and burn our boat!"

"Let the other boats that haven't caught fire spread themselves around, and stop crowding towards the shore. If the crowd continues, all the boats will be set on fire!"

Following Yang Xuangan's command, those supply ships that hadn't caught fire also received the news through the military flag. They no longer fled to the shore, but flew separately in the face of catastrophe, and fled to the distance of the sea.

The battleship of the Yan Kingdom did not pursue and enter Haizhong Continent. After all, there are still nearly 20 imperial troops there, and they will only be surrounded if they pursue them.

Therefore, the warships of the Yan Kingdom chased and killed the fleeing material ships, and sank them one by one by virtue of their speed advantage. Some surrendered ships were dragged back to the nearest sugarcane island (Taiwan Island) ).

In this battle of Haizhongzhou, the empire lost not many troops, but more than [-] people died. The key point is that a large number of grain ships were sunk, and many were captured by warships of Yan State, and some grain ships sailed to the sea. After that, he completely lost his track, and it seemed that he was lost in the vast sea.

Facing such a big defeat, Yang Xuangan didn't dare to report the real battle report. Instead, he went to the coastal area of ​​Fujian and Yue. Their heads reported to the imperial court: Great victory!Cut off more than a thousand heads of Yan captives!

Half a month later
Luoyang, the imperial capital
"Good! Haha! Good!"

"Yang Xuangan is worthy of being the son of the backer king, and the tiger father has no dogs! Just after setting out to sea, a great victory came, beheading 10 people in the Yan Kingdom, including more than 1000 elite guards of the Yan Kingdom! It's really my Great Sui Tiger General! "

Emperor Yang Guang is currently looking at the battle report submitted by Yang Xuangan, which reports the latest military situation of the Imperial Navy. The content in it is roughly:
"Your servant, Yang Xuangan, was deceived by profiteers and did not find the capital of the Yan Kingdom. However, he encountered Yan Kingdom warships overseas. Yanlu is worthy of being the overlord of the sea. The soldiers are all afraid of Yanlu. Even more arrogant, they dared to insult the emperor and ministers, they were so loyal and could not tolerate the arrogance of the Yan captives, so they fought to the death without retreating. They fought from dawn to dusk, and tried their best. Be strong, never give in to the Yan captives, fight bloody battles, swear to serve the country to the death, and finally kill the 1000 elites of the Yan country and defeat them. However, because it was a naval battle, most of the heads of the [-] Yan captives sank to the bottom of the sea, only more than [-] The head of the elite Yanlu is reserved by us, and dedicated to the Holy Son of Heaven, with the head of the elite Yanlu, we will show off our heavenly power! Minister, Yang Xuangan, weeping blood!"

Looking at this battle report, Yang Guang became more confident: "I am Da Sui! I am invincible in the world!"

Armada, lived up to its name!
The first time he went to sea, he killed 1000 Tartars!Among them are more than [-] elite Tartars!

Great Sui!Invincible!
The happier you are when you read the battle report of the Armada, the angrier you will be when you read the Shanhaiguan battle report.

"Hmph! You are also famous generals, why can't you kill even one Yan captive in Shanhaiguan? They are all trash! Trash!"
