Mu Anbang brought two hundred warships this time. In other words, it cannot accommodate 50,000 people at all. After a day's rest, Ning Chen took away 30,000 people and sailed away 15 warships. Fifty warships were left behind, plus the 5,000 boatmen brought by Mu Anbang, a total of 25,000 people, some on foot and some by boat. These people can follow behind and clean up the battlefield. One hundred and fifty warships, equipped with 30,000 men, and muskets and artillery, marched along the tributaries of the East China Sea towards the mouth of Miluo. At Miluokou, King Rui's 50,000-strong army was stationed. Seven days later, Ning Chen led his army to Miluokou. Ning Chen stood on the deck and watched with a telescope. More than three hundred warships were spread across the water.
Because the Eastern Territory is close to the sea, almost all of Daxuan's warships were transferred to the Eastern Territory. The warships in King Rui's hands were many times more numerous than theirs. Moreover, because of the proximity to the sea, the soldiers of the Eastern Territory were good at water warfare. Ning Chen frowned. Although they were equipped with guns and artillery, this would still be a tough battle. The two sides faced each other across the water. A burly, middle-aged man with rough, dark skin and a full beard, holding a big knife, stood on the deck, looking at Ning Chen from a distance. His face was solemn. A person's name, the shadow of a tree. The commander on the opposite side is the Daxuan War God Ning Chen. Although he has never met Ning Chen, he has heard of Ning Chen's name. Ning Chen handed the binoculars to Sun Gaohan beside him, "The person standing on the bow of the ship should be Xiang Xiu Ming, right?" Sun Gaohan took the telescope and looked over, exclaiming: "Oh my god...what is this thing? It can actually see so far away?" Ning Chen smiled and said: "Clairvoyance...is that Xiang Xiuming?" Sun Gaohan nodded repeatedly, "It's him!" Xiang Xiuming is also a famous Daxuan general and can be regarded as half a student of General Chen. General Chen was probably furious when his students rebelled. On Xiang Xiuming's side, deputy general Huang Shao leaned over and asked, "General, do you want to attack?" Xiang Xiuming shook his head, "The person opposite is Ning Chen. Let's wait and see before talking... This person has fought in the north and south, and has never been defeated. Don't be careless." Huang Shao was a little disdainful, "Ning Chen's reputation is indeed great, but he is not bad as a general... What's more, this is water warfare, which is what we are good at."
"Besides, there are at most 30,000 of them... If the general captures Ning Chen this time, he will definitely leave his name in history." Xiang Xiuming sneered: "We are traitors, how can we leave a name in history?" Huang Shao's expression changed drastically, "General, be careful what you say!" Xiang Xiuming said solemnly: "We may be famous throughout the ages in the history of Yuan Kingdom...but we will definitely be notorious in the history of Daxuan." Huang Shao glanced at Xiang Xiuming, "General, does he regret it?" Xiang Xiuming turned to look at him, "Is regretting useful? There is no turning back when you open your bow." "It's best if the general thinks like this...History is written by the victors. When we destroy Daxuan, it will be up to us whether we will be famous or infamy for thousands of years." Xiang Xiuming nodded slightly. Huang Shaodao: "General, I feel that we should take the initiative and strike first to gain the upper hand." Xiang Xiuming thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Okay, just to see how capable this Daxuan God of War is?" "Give me the order to attack!" A dull horn sounded. This is the clarion call to attack. Sun Gaohan's face changed slightly, "General, they are about to attack!" Ning Chen stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, his clothes rustling in the wind! "Send my order and prepare to meet the enemy!" Boom, boom, boom! ! ! The drums of war beat, resounding throughout the sky. Hundreds of warships rushed towards each other. Xiang Xiuming stood on the bow of the ship and said sternly: "Send the order, archers prepare!" Ning Chen's army was almost within the range of the archers. Ning Chen looked at the approaching enemy warships. "Give me the order to fire!" The range of artillery is much further than that of bows and arrows. Ning Chen never thought about engaging in close combat with the enemy. Xiang Xiuming's army is good at water warfare, and they are no match for hand-to-hand combat on the water. Boom boom boom! ! ! The deafening sound was accompanied by the smoke.
Hundreds of artillery pieces fired in unison. Dense shells flew towards the enemy. The destructive power of solid bullets is equally terrifying. The mast was broken and the building was shattered. The sound of explosions was endless. Xiang Xiuming's army was immediately frightened. What is this? The mast was broken by cannonballs and fell down. The soldiers on the ship were killed and injured in great numbers, and they were in chaos. Passing through the building, it was blown to pieces. Big holes were blasted out of the hull of the advance warship, the cabin was pierced, and water began to overflow. "Hold still, don't panic...give me my order and shoot the arrow!" Xiang Xiu Ming's eyes were about to burst and he shouted loudly. He knew it was artillery. He has specifically studied the battles commanded by Ning Chen. But as far as he knew, artillery was used to break down city gates... He didn't expect Ning Chen to equip this thing on the warship. "yes!" The messenger turned around and was about to convey Xiang Xiuming's order. But suddenly, a cannonball whizzed past, and the orderly soldier was shattered into pieces, with blood and flesh splattered all over Xiang Xiuming and Huang Shao. boom! ! ! A cannonball flew over and landed on the bow of the ship. The entire bow of the ship shattered into pieces, and sawdust flew away. The warship kept shaking. Xiang Xiuming almost fell into the water and broke into a cold sweat. The shells rained down. Xiang Xiuming's advance warship was in devastation. The soldiers on the ship suffered countless casualties. "It's leaking, it's leaking...!" "Run away, the ship is sinking, run away...!" Xiang Xiuming's army was in chaos.
The warships in front were riddled with holes, and most of them began to sink. The soldiers were frightened and jumped into the water, swimming back desperately. Xiang Xiuming's face was ashen, and he turned his head to look at Huang Shao, who was pale, and roared: "Retreat, burn the ship!" Xiang Xiuming gritted his teeth, jumped into the water and swam back desperately. A big fire broke out on the water. Xiang Xiuming ordered to set fire to the fifty advance warships. The fire was blazing and the smoke was billowing. Burning the warships could not only stop Ning Chen's army from chasing and killing, but also ensure that the warships would not be left to Ning Chen. Ning Chen ordered everything to stop. He stood at the bow, looking at the burning warships, frowning and saying, "Fuck... Xiang Xiuming, this prodigal son, is it the ships that are burning? It's the silver." "General Ning is mighty, we won!" "General Ning is mighty!" "General Ning is mighty!" The army cheered. Ning Chen's mouth slightly raised, cold weapons against hot weapons, this is simply a dimensionality reduction attack. If he loses even like this, he will just jump into the water and drown. Although he won, he still failed to achieve the effect he expected. Because of the water battle, the number of shells carried is limited. His original plan was to use up all the shells, force Xiang Xiuming to go ashore, and fight hand-to-hand on land. Unexpectedly, Xiang Xiuming directly burned the warships and blocked their way. "Sun Gaohan, go and count how many shells we have left?" "I obey your order!" Sun Gaohan took the order and left. If there are not many shells left, he will not fight next. Because they had no artillery suppression, they were no match for Xiang Xiuming's army in the close combat on the water.
