Chapter 1233: Apdul wants to talk
Because of the Dragon Marine Corps, the Roman Navy did not dare to go ashore;
Because the Jiaolong fleet was stationed in the Red Sea, the Roman Navy did not dare to leave the port.
Under such circumstances, the morale of the Roman Navy plummeted, and the glory of the past was trampled to pieces by the fleet that suddenly came from the distant east.
The parliament forced the navy to attack, and Apdul couldn't bear to worry. He knew that the Roman Navy would not be an opponent of the Central Plains people, and that forced attacks were just an egg to touch a stone. Therefore, he disobeyed the orders of the parliament. He would not execute the orders of the old men who only knew to hide in the hall of the parliament and pointed.
This is not that Apudul cherishes the lives of the soldiers. He is the commander of the navy. The number of soldiers is a direct reflection of his strength. If the soldiers are all done, wouldn’t he have to let others control it?
So Apudul had a crazy idea in his heart: Anyway, he couldn't beat the people of the Central Plains, and if he continued to fight, he would just kill himself, and surrender might be a good choice.
These days, the overall strength of the Central Plains Navy is so strong that it is suffocating. The invincible artillery and the soldiers who slaughtered madly on the shore can cause a considerable panic in the Roman Navy as long as they mention them.
To the Westerners, surrendering to the strong is not embarrassing.
...
...
Qu'a completed the mission and led his troops back to the Red Sea Port to report to Wu Shun to find out the situation and the results of the battle.
The Marines' performance was praised by Wu Shun in public and was praised by the Supreme Emperor, which is worthy of their lifetime.
"Xingba, the Romans filled the canal. What do you think?" Wu Shun asked.
The warships could not pass, and some small boats were not strong in the past. Without heavy artillery, the Roman Navy could still resist.
"Your Majesty, I want to blow it all the way. No matter what he filled it, it will explode, so that the Romans can see what the following Dragon Fleet is like." Gan Ning said with a red face, and he was commanding the soldiers to blow up the canal.
"Reckless... You will have to beat the ten national treasurys like you!" Wu Shun cursed with a smile.
Gan Ning's method is very deterrent, but it costs too much shells.
After exploding all the way, the Dragon Fleet could not penetrate the canal even if it was all the shells carried by the dragon. What's more, their navy had to fight in the Mediterranean.
"What should we do then? The warship cannot enter, it is not enough to overwhelm the Romans." Gan Ning muttered.
The most direct way is to directly bombard him with powerful guns, and just blow them up and smash them all no matter what landfill or obstacles he has.
However, Wu Shun did not support this extravagant practice, and Gan Ning did not dare to say much.
"Qua, how effective is the Romans on the shore?" Wu Shun ignored Gan Ning's opinion and asked Qua instead.
"When the Supreme Emperor returns to the last generals lead the troops to fight. When they meet the Romans, they will decide for one battle. The other party does not have much power to resist." Qu A said.
This is not that he is arrogant, but that the Romans he met are like this. Although there are many people, in terms of combat power, it is really poor.
The Dragon Marine Corps is a soldier selected from the elite naval forces. Everyone has outstanding skills. The Marine Corps they formed belongs to the elite legion of the Shu army, and is not comparable to that of an ordinary Roman Navy.
Since the Roman Navy had extremely poor combat power on land, Wu also thought of a way to coordinated attacks between sea and land.
"Xingba, how many naval soldiers are familiar with land combat?" Wu Shun asked Gan Ning, the naval commander-in-chief.
"Your Majesty, all the navy soldiers can go ashore to fight, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not weaker than that of the land army." Gan Ning straightened his body and said.
Their naval training was very difficult. In addition to combat on the water, there were also training on tactics on the land.
Gan Ning's requirements for the soldiers have always been: they can fight on water and fight on land!
"Very good. The navy soldiers divided 20,000 people, led by Qua and Sufei, landed on both sides of the canal, repelled the Romans, and protected the fleet through the canal."
Wu Shun ordered.
"Here!"
"The Supreme Emperor, can you let Su Fei lead the fleet and fight ashore? Su Fei is better at commanding ships." Gan Ning asked with hope.
"Su Fei, what do you think?" Wu Shun looked at Su Fei next to him?
"There is no objection to the end..." Seeing Gan Ning winking at him, Su Fei could only satisfy Gan Ning's heart.
"Since General Su Fei agrees, Xingba, you will bring 10,000 soldiers ashore to kill the enemy, but you must remember not to leave the canal too far. Our warships are the target you need to focus on protecting." Wu Shun emphasized.
"Here!" No matter how many Wu Shun asked for it, Gan Ning would be willing to go ashore to kill the enemy.
"Everyone goes down and prepare. Tomorrow, Suifeng leads the fleet into the canal to cover your landing!"
After Wu Shun's instructions, Gan Ning and Su Fei were busy selecting the landing soldiers. Qu A Lao Shen freely performed his duties and protected Wu Shun's safety. Selecting the landing soldiers, as long as Gan Ning was busy, he just wanted to claim them tomorrow.
The next day, the Dragon Fleet gathered at the entrance of the canal. The Roman Navy Commander Apdul had already received news, but he did not dare to send troops to get close.
On the flagship, Wu Shun rushed out of the dense small boats from the fleet with orders.
These small boats were extremely fast, carrying naval soldiers to the shore quickly. When Apudul saw the actions of the Central Plains Navy and wanted to increase his troops, he was already one step too late.
With the artillery fire, the fortifications set up by Apudul on the shore were bombarded, and the Romans could not stop the Central Plains Navy from landing as soon as possible. Gan Ning and Qu A and the other two led their troops to the shore easily!
The artillery fire stopped on the river surface, and the sides of the canal were already under the Central Plains Navy!
On the west bank, Qu A held an iron spear and killed all directions. The soldiers were greatly encouraged and followed Qu A forward quickly to clear all obstacles.
On the east bank, Gan Ning personally led his soldiers to charge, and was unstoppable. The Romans were killed by him so hard that they dared not come forward to fight. Gan Ning's power made the Romans frightened!
The Romans on both sides of the canal were forced back together, and Apdul's resistance was reduced again.
In his mind, he had only seen such a powerful army as the Central Plains Navy in his mind.
"Since it cannot be stopped, why waste troops?" Apdul successfully convinced himself.
"You, find someone who understands the language of the Central Plains to go to the Central Plains Navy to tell their heads, and just say that the commander has something to talk to them." Apdul said to a servant.
The attendant did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately went to find a person who understood the language of the Central Plains and asked him to bring Apudul's words to the supreme commander of the Central Plains army.
...
...
The highest commander of the Central Plains Navy is Gan Ning, but Wu Shun is on the flagship, Gan Ning has to report everything.
"Xingba, are you saying Apudul wants to have a peace talk?" Wu Shun asked.
Returning to the flagship from the shore, Gan Ning brought back a relatively important news.
"Yes, Supreme Emperor, Roman Navy Commander Apdul sent someone to find the last general. That's what the man said. Should we talk or not?" Gan Ning asked.
Chapter completed!
