2190 Tough battle(1/2)

The navy of the Cao Family Trading Company are very smart people. Naturally, they will not do such stupid things. Even if they are 10 meters closer to you, you will pose a greater threat to us. We are not capable of such things.

We won't do it. For this reason, we will start attacking you when our artillery is at its maximum range. In fact, if we follow the range completely, it may be farther, but because it is so far away, it is basically

The observation target is about to be lost on the ground. This is really too difficult for the gunners of the Cao Family Trading Company. They don’t know things dozens of kilometers away. If they were on the earth, this matter might not happen.

That’s a problem. After all, there are many observation tools on the earth, but everything on this planet depends on your own eyes. If your eyes can’t work, then this job may not be suitable for you.

Well, the first round of bombardment was just for measurement. The navy of the Western Empire was crying and running back at this time. They didn't care what it meant. They had seen too many such things.

, In the past, the people of the Cao Family Trading Company were like this. After they got rid of their side, the next round of shells will hit our own heads. Such things are also very scary for us.

, they don’t want to let themselves feed the fish. You must know that they all have some beliefs. Many people have also said that if they die and cannot be buried in peace, they will become pigs and dogs in their next life.

How could a person be willing to be like that? You should have known all this when you entered the water. Run now? It might be a little late, they won't let you go.

"Adjust the shooting angle, raise it two degrees, adjust the brightness." Such a voice came from the observation position, and the gunners below were quickly correcting their shooting points one by one. This angle is for the entire battleship.

That said, there are still some minor issues with regard to one's own artillery position, and it is up to them to do this. But fortunately, if there are four people in one gun position, there can still be one person who can calculate this thing specifically.

.They quickly calculated their shooting numbers. Because firing at sea is different from that on land. The enemy will definitely move when firing on land, but there is one thing that is different from here.

That means you can't move. But it's not the same thing at sea. Everything needs to be calculated. Just like now, you not only have to adjust the shooting elements told to you above to your own

You also need to consider the sailing speed of the ship. Although the speed of the fleet will be slower when attacking, it will have some impact, but this is nothing to a skilled gunner.

Yes, because they are all very good at calculating this matter, and many people also understand the matter in front of them very well. For them, they will do well in the matter in front of them. The next round is the Western Empire Navy.

It's the end of the world, and the navy of the Western Empire has no intention of fighting at this time. When the navy admiral saw these guys on the shore, they were all busy running back, and he was so ashamed that he felt ashamed. Damn it, what could he do?

I promised Prince Ding that the navy would be fine this time. I really didn’t expect these bastards to be so disrespectful to me and run back before the fight even started.

In fact, the construction of the navy is definitely not that simple. Warships are just one aspect. The quality of the sailors is also very important. If there were no navy of the Cao Family Trading Company, if the navies of these four empires were to be ranked in the same ranking, the Eastern Empire would

The people will definitely be at the front, because those sailors used to live on the sea, but they used to be on merchant ships. The second place should be the people from the Southern Empire. The shipping of the Southern Empire

Although it is not very developed, its inland river shipping and other things are pretty good. People who eat on the water will have some places that are connected. This is not that difficult for them. The biggest difficulty is

They are the people from the Western Empire and the Northern Empire. People from these two empires really don’t know what to say about them. People from these two empires have never wandered on the sea at all. As for inland shipping, there are not many people.

The water is an unfamiliar place for them. It is normal for their navy to perform like this. The army has its own history, so they will have more or less honor.

Honestly, even if they knew that they were going to die in front of them, they would still go up. After all, this matter is related to their own honor, and it may also be related to the honor of their family, but the navy is completely different.

, People in the navy can be said to be everywhere. In the past, they were just ordinary people. They didn't have any naval aristocrats at all, and they didn't care about the so-called honor. The empire only gave them two taels of silver a month.

The salary is enough for me to eat and drink. I can't even take care of my own family. Why are I working so hard?

The name "Admiral of the Navy" sounds pretty good, but this admiral is not even as good as the commander-in-chief of a province. Why is that? Isn't it because you are all navy? The navy spends a lot of money.

Okay, look at your fleet and so on, they are all well prepared, but you can just try to win face for the empire. Who knows you don’t have such ability at all, you people have nothing in the end.

After getting it, I finally let people drive you back. Even if you all die in batches, at least it can let us all see that your navy people are bloody, right? But what have you done?

, this fucking army has never lost face like that. This face was given to you by others, and you made it yourself. If you want others to respect you, you must first see what you are doing.

When you were on the sea, you may have escaped because you were not familiar with the sea, but here you are in an inland river. These people are basically the common people around the capital. You are not even related to your own home. You will still be there in the future.

What can I expect you to do? When Prince Ding discussed military affairs masters, there was no place for the naval admiral to sit. In fact, if it wasn't for the sake of good looks, Prince Ding wouldn't even want to let this guy pass. This happened among the soldiers.

It is indeed very uncomfortable, but in the current military situation, if there is no navy, nothing can be done. It is for this reason that the navy admiral is not taken seriously by people, and now the prince is appointed

His face must have become even more ugly. The naval admiral was so angry with these guys. In fact, he didn't even think about it. If he was on the ship, he might run back. He was also scared.

No matter what the people in the navy think, one thing is certain. That is that it is impossible for them to run away now. The second batch of shells has already arrived, and the one who came first is the one who ran at the front.

The twelve cannonballs coming from the ship were all the main hits on the three ships of the Western Empire Navy. In the end, four of the twelve cannonballs hit, and the first one hit a ship of the Western Empire Navy.

The bow of the warship was penetrated directly from above. The shell went straight down and smashed through two decks, and finally exploded near the waterline. If you look at it from a distance, you can see it.

Seeing that there seemed to be too much gas in the ship, it immediately gained weight. The final result was wood chips flying everywhere. There was nothing left in the ship at the end. It was hit by the second cannonball.

It was the mast of a ship. I don’t know how the cannon was fired. It broke the mast with one shot. The mast fell down immediately because the ships on both sides were too close.

As a result, the mast of a nearby ship was also damaged. This seems to have other special gains. The people who fired the cannon probably did not expect this result. In their opinion, if they can destroy a ship

That's it. The third and fourth shots hit the same ship. They all exploded directly on the deck. The superstructure was basically gone. The people on the ship could only

Surviving one-third depends on your luck. When it exploded just now, you could see from here that all the dozen or so people on the boat flew into the sky. If you were lucky, you might have fallen into the water.

He could survive, but if he fell to the deck, he would definitely be killed by the fall.

The navy of the Cao Family Trading Company has seen the world. The second round of bombardment killed a total of 54 of their warships, seriously damaging 12 ships and lightly damaging 18 ships. Originally, this was considered a victory, but in the eyes of these people

, Such a victory is simply insignificant, and there is no need to celebrate at all. These guys continue to lower their heads and do their own things, and they must complete this base. Generally speaking, the coordinates are adjusted without firing cannonballs at sea.

, because this is in the river, so it becomes three shells. Now they have no time to worry about whether they have hit others. What they have to do now is to quickly take out the remaining two shells.

Fight them out. Since you were able to hit the enemy from this position just now, it is probably no problem now. Even hitting the severely damaged ships is very good. After all, if they are all dragged back, maybe

It may get better after a while of maintenance. We must not let such a thing happen. Now we have to kill all the effective forces that can kill the Western Empire. This is also a pressure on the Western Empire. Otherwise,

, they will never feel the pressure in the future. Maybe the war will really continue. The people of Cao's Commercial Bank definitely don't want such a thing to happen. What they want is a quick resolution. After all, there are too many things now.

Yes, the officers and soldiers of the navy also knew what their boss was thinking. They quickly adjusted their gun positions and continued to attack. If one day when they first arrived, they would still have to worry about the giant crossbows and magic of the Western Empire.

Damn it, but basically you don’t need to worry about these things today. In fact, these things are not here. Even if they are, they will be killed in the first chapter and there will be no delay.

"Oh, these damn bastards, I really didn't expect these people in the navy to be so useless. I must report it to the Lord after I go back. This navy can't do this in the future. I spent half of the treasury and now it's

There is nothing left, is there only a little bit of wood left?" Prince Ding was very sad to see the navy's fiasco. The economy of the Western Empire has never been very good, and the navy's military expenditures amounted to hundreds of billions.

, In order to get the money, His Majesty the Emperor was very depressed and worried. He even auctioned off some of his favorite gadgets, so that he could get the navy's military expenses.

I really didn’t expect that hundreds of warships would be gone in one encounter. Calculated by price, this would be more than one billion dollars. A lot of money was wasted on the training of the people above. If you know now

With their current abilities, training them is nothing. They just let these bastards die. They wasted so much food in the empire. In the end, they didn't even hit the navy of Cao's Trading Company, let alone follow them.

The gap between people is gone, so everyone feels embarrassed by the way you do things. Although many people in this tent are in the army, they used to manage the navy. Now they don't say anything.

They came up with the idea of ​​vigorously building the navy at that time, not for anything else, but because they could make more money in the process. If there were no such benefits, they probably wouldn't do it at all.

Knowing that naval construction is a huge benefit, as long as you are not a fool, you can get a lot of benefits from this. Everyone knows this very well.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to talk about this matter. Even if the people in the navy are useless, haven't they allowed the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company to allocate a lot of troops now? What we need to do now is to fight on land.

Things, you see, the more than 20,000 people from Cao's Trading Company have advanced about 4,000 meters. It seems that they have no intention of stopping. We should have a way. What if

If there is no other way, our last days will be miserable. They continue to advance to a distance of 1,500 meters. I estimate that their artillery will pose a threat to our city wall. Although we repair the city wall very quickly,

But for our sacred city, this is a stain no matter what, it is better not to have this thing, otherwise if His Majesty the Emperor smells it, we will not be able to explain it." A general next to him hurriedly said.

Said, Prince Ding glanced at this guy. At the beginning, this guy was clamoring to form a navy. This guy's family has a shipyard. He has indeed taken on a lot of work with his ability. He is sure

I didn't want to eat less of the profits. Seeing that I was going to investigate this matter, I quickly said another thing that made me anxious, hoping to divert my attention. This guy can be said to have done a very good job.

It's good. If it were anyone else, I might really enter the palace right away, but what this guy is talking about is also serious. The relationship between the people in the navy and these businessmen is certainly very annoying, but now

It's not the time to pursue this matter. Didn't you see that the enemy is already coming up? Solving this is the most important thing.

Seeing that Prince Ding looked at him with a not-so-good look, this guy immediately understood what was going on. Prince Ding must have thought that he had eaten a lot in the middle. In fact, they all understood that the navy must be

To be established, besides, even if you don’t take the money, others will definitely take it. The biggest money of this navy from its establishment to now is not in your own hands, but in the hands of the emperor and his father-in-law.

In the country, the emperor owns some of the largest shipyards in the empire. Everyone knows that this industry in the Western Empire has a very prosperous start. In the past, it could only manufacture some inland waterway shipping products.

Such a big ship is simply impossible. Only a few big nobles have kept some such things in their homes, but it is absolutely impossible for these people to come up with the technology, so the empire can only honestly go to them.

Just go buy the finished product. Frankly speaking, I have made a lot of money, but we were not independent eaters at the beginning. Didn’t your betrothed prince also accept my banknote of 5 million taels? Think of this guy here

I no longer have such fear in my heart. Anyway, this matter is not my fault. If the empire is not satisfied with this matter, then just investigate it carefully. In the end, I believe everyone will understand what is going on. Maybe it will happen.

At that time, everyone stopped talking about this matter, and everyone was not a fool. Prince Ding seemed to have thought of this issue, and he did not continue to talk about it. In fact, he was a prince of an empire, and he also

He is that kind of powerful prince, but no one dares to take his share. It must be reserved for this guy, and no one will eat his share stupidly.

"Order the army to prepare for the next attack. This time we have also changed our strategy. We will no longer attack. As long as we hold this line for me, let them all listen to me. No one is allowed to take a step back. As long as

If anyone dares to retreat, I will kill them all. Everyone in the family will be dragged to the slave camp, as long as they died fighting for the empire. Everything in the empire will be under your control. Even up to your eighty-year-old mother.

, down to your five-year-old child, and also have the archers ready. Our bows and arrows are not as fast as theirs. But we have more people. I don’t believe that their people are all made of stone. Even their bows and arrows

Don't be afraid. There will never be such people. Even for them, it is impossible. As long as their casualty numbers go up, they will not attack. They are different from us, Mulun

Although that idiot, the General, did a huge stupid thing, we all basically understand that the people of the Cao Family Trading Company cannot bear such a big loss. As long as there is such a big loss, they will definitely not

If they die in battle, they will choose to surrender. This is what our empire wants." Prince Ding said with a sneer. I don't know whether this sneer was for the people in the Cao family business or the general who just spoke.

Anyway, everyone felt the coldness on the prince's body, but they didn't have any intention to speak. Now it is different from the past. It can be said that the tactical purpose of the Western Empire is constantly changing, just like

It's the same now, but it's changed again. At first, it was not letting them land directly, but it quickly changed to killing them, but now it's changed to not letting them cross this line. I really don't know what will happen next.

What is.

The soldiers below heard that there was no need to charge. It can be said that all of them were very happy. The current situation was a dead end for them. Their people were charging, and the people of Cao's Trading Company were also charging.

, both sides are attacking. At this time, the people of the Cao Family Trading Company will take a big advantage, because their weapons and everything are much better than ours, but it is different now. We can only defend ourselves if we need it.

, just defend on the line drawn by Prince Ding. Anyway, we have plenty of people. As long as the people above are dead, we will just go up. There are a large number of archers from the Western Empire behind the position. They

All you need to do is to throw bows and arrows, plus a large number of crossbows and catapults. This is no problem. The casualties of the Cao Family Trading Company may be greater later. The battle transition may have been very slow before.

thing, but today the cavalry of the Western Empire heard that they did not need to ride fast horses to die, and they all ran back quickly. They are not all fools. They all understand such things, so hurry up

What they have to do is to run back. If they continue to rush forward, they may not even have the chance to come back. They remember everything just now very clearly. Just look at the people in front and you will know what happened.
To be continued...
