Chapter 498 Come to a naval battle

Some people say that human history is a history of war; this sentence may be a bit biased, but it makes sense. Whenever there is a major change in society, the devil of war will come to you.

Perhaps, it is "only people are asking for help".

When the Shang Kingdom negotiated with Zhao Ming, the representative of Zhao State, Ji Buxian and others, when Li Xian arranged a special person to be responsible for the supply of arms of the Dragon Palace and the Demon Clan, there were two large-scale wars in the east of Yingzhou, which were underway.

In the north, it was the war between Xiao State and the State of Cai State; although the Shang Kingdom issued a notice, the situation in Xiao State was already on the verge of arrows.

In fact, Xiao State and Xiao Liming were also helpless. Xiao State was born with bad conditions and lacked soil for development after birth. Now, it seems that only Cai State can bully it around.

Since there was no choice, even though the Shang Kingdom issued a notice, even if Xiao Liming understood that he was not taking any reason, the war still did not stop.

And then heading south is the battlefield between Wu and Yue! The war between Wu and Yue was originally suspended because of the sudden appearance of the Shang Kingdom, but now it seems that it has started again due to the indirect influence of the Shang Kingdom.

But the war that started again was even more tragic. While the State of Xiao and Cai were still preparing for the war, the two countries of Wu and Yue had already entered a white-hot heat.

With the Wu fleet arriving first, and Yue State knew that its fleet was about to return, Yue State began to prepare for the general attack. Now, although both sides have not launched the general attack, the nervous aura has been suppressed. From the emperors, civil and military officials, to the people, all of them felt heavy pressure, and it seemed that they were having difficulty breathing.

The evil aura that enveloped the Wu and Yue countries became increasingly strong. The evil aura was so strong that many people even became restless and even became possessed by the devil when practicing.

Today, in order to encourage the morale and people of Wu, the Emperor of Wu made an announcement - this matter is naturally the return of four warships led by Wu Daqian!

As mentioned earlier, because there were too few people, Wu Daqian could not fully utilize the combat capabilities of the warship and could not enter Wujiang. He had to turn around and return to Jinjiang and return to the imperial capital of Wu through Jinjiang.

Therefore, the Emperor of Wu simply made this matter public and let everyone in Gusu City watch it freely. At noon, when the fleet was barely arriving at the imperial capital along the not-so-wide river surface, everyone was stunned.

Not to mention ordinary people, even emperors are the same. Although I have seen the so-called giant ships and cannons through jade slips and other means before, I still feel extremely shocked after seeing them with my own eyes.

It seemed like four steel-made hills floated from the water, and the waves shattered at the bow of the ship, unable to shake the ship's body. Compared with the giant ship, Wu Daqian and others were like ants on a hot pan, which was really negligible.

The long cannon is raised high, and the dark muzzle makes people feel cold.

The giant ship approached the shore, and the river bank was washed twenty or thirty meters away by the rolled up river water, and many people were even swept into the water. Fortunately, there were many masters of cultivation on the spot, so everyone could just cheer for alternatives.

On the platform, a little child cheered excitedly: "Father, the boat is so big. These four big boats are bigger than the palace!"

The Emperor of Wu did not cheer. He looked at the giant ship in front of him, but felt fear. What kind of existence is the Shang Kingdom that could create such a giant ship and sell it everywhere?

Although the prince had returned and brought back the jade slip, at this moment, the Emperor of Wu had an idea - to go to the Shang Kingdom in person to see this miraculous country.

The four warships finally docked on the shore, and the four warships connected were like the Great Wall of Steel, guarding the imperial capital; countless people cheered, and they seemed to see a powerful and invincible Wu Kingdom!

At this moment, Wu State Grand Master Ouyang Jin spoke next to him, "Your Majesty, the opportunity is rare. Maybe the effect will be better if you let the warships fire at one volley."

The little prince just now cheered immediately, "Father, I want to see, I want to see."

The Emperor of Wu looked at the cheering little prince and smiled kindly, "Okay, let's take a look. Send the order and ask Wu Daqian to shoot at once. Uh... I'll send someone to inquire about the situation first."

Soon, the envoy returned and reported: "Your Majesty, Marshal Wu said that the three-time volleys of artillery cannons are the best; and the range of artillery cannons is as high as 50 to 70 miles, and the attack range is about 4 to 6 miles. The power of the explosion can harm the masters of the Nascent Soul stage."

"So amazing? The widest place in Wujiang, which is only 20 miles away from the border with Vietnam! Isn't this... too exaggerated?" The Emperor of Wu's eyes widened a lot.

OK, no one answered, everyone believed that Wu Daqian would not speak nonsense; and His Majesty the Emperor was just expressing his feelings.

News of the volley quickly spread, and the Royal Guards and Wu Daqian set the range of shelling together.

After the crowd waited anxiously for half an hour, the four warships completed three earth-shaking volleys. One after another, three times in less than ten breaths. The shells flew out at nearly five times the speed of sound, crossing more than 50 miles with a majestic momentum, hitting a mound built with temporary spells.

A shocking explosion sounded, and the yellow smoke and dust soared into the sky, and clusters of orange-yellow and orange-red small mushroom clouds rose, bringing the breath of destruction.

Less than ten miles away, the emperor of Wu witnessed this volley, the earth was overturned, the position of the shells attacked, the area of ​​about a hundred feet, and the scene of a doomsday disaster.

The little prince who was so excited that he wanted to see the cannon just now was already scared to cry.

The Emperor of Wu held his youngest son and stared at the scene in front of him for a long time. Finally, he made up his mind: "Full support Wu Daqian in building the navy, so that the navy can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible! In addition, strengthen research on arms.

Also, see if you can send an envoy to the Shang Kingdom again to negotiate further cooperation! No matter how much the price is paid, as long as it is reasonable and within the scope of tolerance, I want to get a complete set of manufacturing technology for this warship!"

However, Mei Meng is always fragile. When the Emperor of Wu learned the price of these four warships, he finally sighed fiercely. This time, the Shang Kingdom gave a lot of discounts for Wu Daqian's sake.

Wu Daqian gave the "big bluestone island with a radius of fifty miles" to the Shang Kingdom, which made the Shang Kingdom look good to Wu Daqian. However, when the Shang Kingdom was fighting against Qi Kingdom, Wu left, but completely destroyed the small tacit understanding between the two countries.

After learning the news, the Emperor of Wu sighed for a long time. At the same time, he was somewhat disappointed with the prime minister, Zhuang Meng and the prince. He was not sure about such a big deal. He was really... he was powerless to say anything!

Perhaps the only good news is that Wu Daqian's military advisor Dong Yuan actually conquered some of the technology of oil refining. Through distillation and cooling, a small amount of fuel can be produced temporarily; the fuel may not be much, but it is enough to meet the temporary military needs of Wu.

Although it is not possible to deal with the residual souls, evil spirits, demonic energy, etc. that are mixed in oil. It is dangerous to distillate such oil, but it can finally provide fuel to the country.

However, less than 24 hours after the good news, news came from the seaside that the soldiers sent to the seaside to investigate were indeed discovered in the sea further north. The fleet was very large! Warships and merchant ships were like moving waves of steel, rolling towards the south.

The most important thing is that the speed is actually very fast! It is expected to cross the Jinjiang estuary in one day.

At the first moment, this incident alarmed the Wu government and the people. Wu Daqian directly asked the frontline personnel: "What kind of flag is there? How fast? How long is it? How many narrow warships are there? How many bloated commercial ships are there?"

Asked one question after another, the generals on the front line were excellent and answered them smoothly. Gradually, Wu Daqian understood the situation at the beach clearly.

"Your Majesty, this should be the case. This time the fleet coming from the north should be the common fleet of Yue and Shang Kingdom. Most of them are merchant ships, merchant ships from Shang Kingdom.

But there are also Vietnamese warships, which may include three 10,000-ton warships and ten 5,000-ton warships. Moreover, the speed of these warships is likely to be twice as fast as our warships!

I am not very clear about what price the Yue Kingdom paid to obtain these thirteen warships, but I must not let these warships of Yue Kingdom return.

We should intercept halfway!”

The emperor of Wu's eyes shone brightly, "How to intercept?"
