Holy Light City is also a very important city for the Southern Empire, not only because of its large population, but also because this place is one of the most important transportation hubs on the Luan River. If this place also falls, it will affect the entire war situation.

It is really possible for people from the Cao Family Trading Company to go straight up the river from here and attack most of the cities under the Southern Empire. This is the most nightmare thing for the Southern Empire, so they must not be allowed to do so.

Such a thing has become a reality. Most people have seen what the Cao Family Trading Company wants to do. The senior officials of the Southern Empire also want to have a controllable war with the Cao Family Trading Company in Holy Light City. They also know that this time

The outcome of the war will definitely determine the future direction, because if the war fails, they will have no room to recoup their losses. At that time, the Southern Empire may have to lose one-fifth or even more of the empire's territory in exchange for Cao Cao.

For the truce of the family business, if possible now, it is estimated that one-twentieth would be enough to lose. However, the senior officials of the Southern Empire do not know that this is correct. They believe that with the 50 million troops in Holy Light City, they can definitely defeat Cao Cao.

These troops of the Cao Family Trading Company have been killed. This place will definitely become the end of the Cao Family Trading Company. It is impossible to continue to compete with the Southern Empire here. This is not the southern coast.

It is impossible for people from the Cao Family Trading Company to succeed here. That is because most of the senior officials of the Southern Empire think so, so they may really fail. This place has also become the starting point for the war between the Southern Empire and the Cao Family Trading Company.

The last battle, known in history as the Battle of Holy Light City, was also the most brutal battle between the two sides.

The battle was divided into three stages. In the initial stage, the person in charge sent by the Cao Family Trading Company was Wu En, the commander of the Navy's second fleet, as the main attack leader, and the Marine Corps, which was airlifted by airship, was responsible for the attack.

The men of the First Division became auxiliary, because in the first stage they were mainly responsible for clearing out some ships on the Luan River. The Marine Corps could be said to have done nothing at this stage, although they killed hundreds of thousands.

The army. But most of them were the troops of the Southern Empire that went towards their military camp. With the help of more than a dozen airships, there was nothing worth publicizing about killing these troops. However, the performance of the sea battle was commendable.

Remarkable. Even if you get caught in the sea of ​​ships arranged by the Southern Empire, there is nothing wrong. The people in power in the Southern Empire want to turn this place into a battlefield, so they have gathered about 30,000 ships of various types.

Such ships, of course, the largest ones are 1,000-ton ships. There are about three thousand such ships. Most of these are the transport ships of the Cao Family Trading Company. These ships were used by the Southern Empire.

After the people captured them, because they didn't know how to use some of the modern things inside, each of these ships was decorated with style. They turned into old-fashioned sailing ships, which were their main method of sea attack in this era.

It's better to get closer and send your own personnel to the other party's ship. This kind of attack method should not be a problem if you face the enemies of this era, but they are a bit inadequate when facing the Cao Family Trading Company's army.

It can be said that the gap between their attack and the artillery attack of the Cao Family Trading Company is thousands of years.

Wu En was born in the navy of the Eastern Empire. When the Cao Family Trading Company's army attacked the navy led by Wu En, they used this method to attack the Cao Family Trading Company's navy. At that time, the Cao Family Trading Company's navy was not that powerful.

For a large ship, the total number of artillery pieces on both sides is less than a hundred. But now the total number of artillery pieces on both sides is more than 250. This number is a very terrifying for them.

The numbers were up, and at that time none of these gunners did anything. These gunners were not very skilled. At that time, a gunner could only use less than 100 rounds of training ammunition at most. The accuracy and other things needed to be improved.

, But it’s different now. These people can be said to be veterans. They can kill those targets easily. This skill is still very good. If we fight against those people now, there will definitely be one

It was a good result. Such a situation occurred at that time because the fleet of the Cao Family Trading Company was not very familiar with this kind of coordinated operations. However, even the original independent fighting could make the force led by Wu En at that time

The entire navy of the empire has been wiped out. Now they have trained the fleet like this for a long time. It is definitely not something that these improvised naval forces of the Southern Empire can solve. Since these troops dare to come up to the river, their results have already been

They are destined to be completely annihilated. Wu En has no mercy for them. This is the way this era is. If you fall behind, you will be beaten.

On the first day, the Southern Empire asked Duke Katara to lead more than 10,000 various ships to fight. Because the lake around Holy Light City has been expanded, so if you don't look carefully here,

, everyone thought they had reached the sea. Wu En was also very satisfied with some of the conditions here. Since there is such a big place, you can't catch up with me or hit me. This kind of thing can be done.

I want you to pay a good price. Someone on the other side has already sent a message. If Wu En surrenders honestly, their millions of navy can make them all go back honestly. But such a thing is not easy for anyone.

It's impossible to say that. Once your millions of troops reach the water, it can be said that they are the same as nothing. Although your ships are the same big, you can tell by looking at your weapons. You should use bows and arrows to follow them.

A weapon like a small trebuchet. For the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company, except for the trebuchet, there is nothing else. This is impossible. You can defeat them if you want to use this.

People from the Cao Family Trading Company, stop dreaming. At the beginning of the war, many people in the Southern Empire believed that they could win. The two squadrons only had more than 20 warships, and the long term would only be tens of thousands of people.

The Southern Empire's army is dozens of times larger than theirs, but they never think about it. In almost every battle, your millions of people are driven away by our hundreds of thousands, just like herding sheep.

You won’t remember the result.

Wu En observed the river surface at that time. The Southern Empire's army wanted to divide its troops into two groups to outflank it. The width of the surrounding river surface had reached nearly 20 kilometers, and the water depth was no problem. Even for reconnaissance

There is no need to investigate. In the past, the transport ships of the Cao Family Trading Company had already figured out some of the situations here very clearly. It was very certain that there was such a reef under the water. They were all about these things.

As we all know, the Southern Empire also has its own plans. They just hope to surround the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company. At that time, they can use them up. Anyway, they have many ships. As long as the Cao Family Trading Company

The warships were besieged by them. No matter how powerful they were, they would definitely be eaten up in the end. That is, the losses would be greater. Wu En from Cao's Trading Company also knew about this, so it would never be like this.

Yes, what he has to do is to divide the people of the two fleets into two columns. Rush directly into the formation of the Southern Empire. The speed must not be slowed down. Go in and kill seven in and seven out. In that way, the navy of the Southern Empire will

It would collapse immediately, and there might not be any need for seven in and seven out. They saw how powerful the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company was, and they probably didn’t have the will to fight. In a sea battle, such cooperation is especially important.

If you escape on land, you will only be able to escape with a few people at most, but on the sea, if a ship escapes, it will escape with the surrounding ships. Not everyone can bear this result.

The Marine Corps has also received Wu En's order. The order given to them is to stand still and wait for reinforcements. They are also the only land army that can carry out siege so far. They must not be attacked by the Southern Empire's army.

Once the war breaks out, no matter what the situation is at sea, the army on the land cannot take any action and can only stay there honestly. If there are troops from the Southern Empire around, as long as they are not coming

Ignore those who attack you. The navy will take care of matters at sea. As long as you can protect yourselves, we also left two airships for them. These two airships are tools for them to use for reconnaissance.

, they must also know the movements of the navy at all times. If the navy is really defeated, they must establish a larger area, because if the navy people die, their pressure will definitely come over immediately. They must

They stood firm and waited for reinforcements until the troops from the Cao Family Trading Company came over. Therefore, for them, if the navy was destroyed, they would not be able to persist for a long time under the siege of a large number of troops from the Southern Empire. The final result was also

Killed, so they are definitely paying close attention to the war at sea and must not make any mistakes. Otherwise, their escape route will really be gone. It is not a small matter for anyone.

Yes, especially the Marine Corps. It is absolutely impossible for them to defeat Holy Light City with just one division of their troops. That is unrealistic and no one has that idea.

"Keep the distance with them. We must not fall into their entanglement. Although we are already equipped with hand crossbows, our number is still too small. Now they will feel uncomfortable even if they exchange a hundred people for one of us.

It's worth it. We just have to hold on for thirty hours. After thirty hours, our army will have reinforcements. If we can't hold on, they will be on guard and we won't be able to cause any consequences.

Okay, although we have caused a lot of panic to the people of Holy Light City in the past few days, we have also used a lot of artillery shells. We definitely did not use them in this war at all. Let me tell you below.

Brothers, you have to take aim before attacking, otherwise you may really run out of ammunition and food. Fighting deep behind enemy lines is so helpless." Wu En said to his deputy, the fleet commander of another squadron, and the two of them

In the past, all of them came from the navy of the Eastern Empire, and they didn't pay much attention to this war. In their view, this 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 after seeing the huge fleet today, with tens of thousands of large and small ships in front of them, and only a few dozen ships on their side. This is a big problem for anyone.

It is unbearable. Looking at the shores on both sides, they are all troops of the Southern Empire. Except underwater, they are all people of the Southern Empire. If they cannot win, they will have no other choice but to feed the fish.

, very helpless.

"We did bring a lot of artillery shells, because we had determined before that we were going to blow up Holy Light City into a wasteland. But there is another trouble. If we advance in two columns, we will turn around.

There is a lot less room. On the map, we start sailing from store a. We have to come back when we reach point x, but what if we all arrive at that place at the same time? We must have a fleet there to watch.

Then, the other fleet began to turn around. This may give the enemy an opportunity due to the weakened firepower, so I suggest that our two fleets should form a column, which is also a threat to them.

, although our attack may be lowered by a level, it is also much safer for us." I didn't expect that the Southern Empire would get so many troops before, so some of their arrangements seemed a bit a bit complicated at this time.

Something is wrong, so certain modifications must be made. This is what must be modified. For them, it is not impossible to temporarily modify the combat agreement, but it may be very troublesome to notify it, but

It is better to have a little trouble than to suffer heavy losses. As for now, they must make adjustments. Otherwise, they may lose half of their troops. As long as it is possible, they cannot do it.

Yes, to be honest, they don’t know where their future lies. The disparity in power this time is really too great, almost reaching a ratio of 1 to 500. The combat effectiveness is very strong. Under such a ratio,

It is difficult to do much, and they all know that the result will be terrible.

When Wu En was a thousand years old, he admired this kind of military method very much. He thought that Guangdong was attacked based on manpower. In the end, the key to victory or defeat was to see how many of his own people were on the other side's ships.

How many of our own people are on board the ship? If this kind of thing really continues like this, it is estimated that the Cao Family Trading Company's army will have no hope of winning. The gap in numbers between them is really too big, so it is absolutely impossible.

They will go according to their ideas, but since they cannot go according to their way, the Cao Family Trading Company will have its own set of combat methods, which is to let its troops quickly penetrate among their warships.

With his fast attack, their people will not be able to reach him at all, and some of their warships will not be able to rush to his side. Then they may win in the end. Of course, if they want to all

It is impossible to annihilate these people. We just need to defeat their will to fight. At that time, reinforcements from the Cao Family Trading Company will arrive. If they continue to fight like this, they may be killed.

They were completely wiped out, and everyone in the Cao Family Trading Company's army was very in favor of this method. For them, they all understood this kind of fighting method. These people were also skilled in facing such a battle. Back then,

At that time, tens of millions of naval forces in the Eastern Empire were killed in this way. The only difference between now and that time is that one was at sea and the other was in the river. There are still things that need to be paid attention to.

When you are at sea, you don’t need to pay attention to the speed and edge of the boat. That’s not the case here. This is an inland river after all. Although it is already very wide, sometimes it is still completely different from the sea.

Some places here have edges. There are Southern Empire Army troops very close to the shore. If they get too close, their bows and arrows will be lit and shot towards this side. If there is really a fire on the ship,

If it catches fire, some things will be a little difficult to handle. On the one hand, they have to pay attention to the fire, and on the other hand, they have to watch the enemy's attack. It is really a big test for the Cao Family Trading Company's army, but about

They all have their own ideas in this regard, that is, they cannot take detours. Going in a straight line will make the Cao Family Trading Company's attack a little scattered, but the same is true of a long line composed of more than 20 warships.

If the Southern Empire's army cannot find a good time to attack, they will not know where to attack. In this way, the Southern Empire's army can be dispersed. In this calculation, they are still members of the Cao Family Trading Company.

It was relatively flattering. After Wu En's battle plan was finalized, the entire fleet began to operate. There must be no delay at this time, because if he goes out like this, before the enemy is ready, he will definitely give them a brutal blow.

Yes, if they are ready, I don’t know what will happen. The Duke of the Southern Empire over there probably doesn’t know that the people from the Cao Family Trading Company are already ready.

Don't look at the people of the Southern Empire facing a huge ocean, but to be honest, their navy is basically a core fleet. Although there are many ships, they have no experience at all. For them, they bully the people and accept them.

There is no problem with taxes and other matters, but they have never thought about confronting such a powerful navy of the Cao Family Trading Company. This time they come to resist the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company. In their opinion, they will definitely win, then

It's because the gap between the armies of the two sides is really too big, but no one wants their men to be the first wave of people to attack, because most of the people in the first wave will become cannon fodder, and each of these people can

They are the same as hedgehogs. It is impossible to fight against them. I don’t know how many people will be killed by them, so I just think that others will rush up to fight them, and then I can go up and take advantage.

But if everyone thinks that way, it won't be that easy. Someone has to be sacrificed. The first batch of 2,000 ships that rushed up are the ones who are going to be sacrificed. The soldiers on them are all scared.

Their legs were shaking. They were already very frightened when they saw the black cannon sticking out from the warship of the Cao Family Trading Company. They had never seen such a thing before. I heard that the kind of cannonballs fired by this thing

It only takes one to sink the ship under their feet. In fact, the ship under their feet is already very good in their opinion. They have never used it before, but now they see the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company

Only then did they know the difference between merchant ships and warships.

Because they don't know how to use the motor on it, they can't make the boat go fast. They can only turn the boat into a sailboat again. This speed would feel like a normal speed.

Not so slow anymore, but now compared to the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company, they are like ants. They were still far away from me just now, how come they are in front of me in such a short time? Such ability

What really surprises me is why there is a sense of oppression when other people's warships come over. Their number is only one percent of ours, but people like me didn't feel any oppression in the past, but I did.

The people around them felt very scared, especially when the cannon barrels came out, they became even more frightened. Although these people saw those cannon muzzles, they didn't know how they attacked, but they could still imagine it. After all,

They also have a lot of people here who have returned from the front line. According to what those people said, regardless of how many of you there are, if you are not careful, it is estimated that the people from the Cao Family Trading Company can easily kill you.
