Chapter 789 The War in Nanhu County Ends 3

The twenty warships led by Wang Yong moved very fast.

The oarsmen's cooperation became more and more tacit. Today's wind was from the west, which was conducive to them catching up with the Qianguo grain transport fleet.

The warships led by Wang Yong quickly advanced towards the grain transport ship in the "》" formation.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they caught up with the grain transport fleet.

"Sir, we found out ahead that the Ganjun's grain transport fleet, consisting of ten escort ships and thirty grain transport ships, is breaking away from the escort ship and speeding towards Nanhu County!"

Wang Yong immediately ordered, "Catch up at full speed, give priority to defeating the enemy's escort ships, and then quickly pursue the grain transport ship and capture as many prisoners as possible."

"yes."

Twenty warships cut across the lake like arrows, approaching the grain transport fleet at high speed.

At this time, Shen He, the commander of the ten warships of the Nu Jiao Army, had already issued the battle order.

In short, this battle must be fought, and then retreat after fighting for a while.

You can't lose too much, and you can't lose too much.

When the soldiers of the Nu Jiao Army are tested, they must have both combat effectiveness and acting skills.

There is definitely no problem with the former. There is no soldier who comes out of the imperial military camp who is weak in combat effectiveness.

But acting skills are not necessarily the same, it depends on talent.

A general who is like a god of war can definitely lead an invincible army, but he may not necessarily lead an army with acting skills.

After several years of studying in school, it is difficult for a group of soldiers who only know how to fight to show off their acting skills.

Fortunately, their audience is not picky reviewers and critics either.

They don’t know that this is a drama, and they are also an important part of this drama.

I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain.

When you are in the game, it is easy for your judgment to go wrong.

Wang Yong's judgment was biased, and he mistook the Nu Jiao Army for the Qianguo escort ship he had encountered before.

It cannot be said that the soldiers of the Qian Kingdom on the escort ship were too weak in the past. It can only be said that they were not professional sailors and were still inferior to Xu Fan's navy.

And Xu Fan's navy was only a second- and third-rate navy that had only been trained and fought for a few months.

There is still a big gap in combat effectiveness with the real elite navy.

Twenty vs ten.

Wang Yong was very confident that he could resolve the battle within a quarter of an hour, and then spend another quarter of an hour catching up with the grain ship.

The battle was resolved within half an hour, and even if Qianjun received the news, it would be too late to rescue them.

"Is there something wrong with the minds of these Qianguo people? They know that their warships are no match for us, but they send ships over for us to kill every time. Isn't this just giving us military merit?"

"Ask them to send it. It would be better to send it more times. Do you still think it's too much?"

"Hahaha......"

The battle on the lake is basically over. Without the wrathful dragon army taking it seriously, there are no highlights worth describing in this battle.

Wang Yong caught up with the warship, and Shen He retreated while entangled with Wang Yong, pretending to be covering the retreat of the grain transport ship.

Neither Wang Yong nor his soldiers thought there was anything wrong with this. Isn't this kind of reaction normal?

There would only be a problem if Shen He fought with him from the beginning and then started to retreat.

Gan Jun dared to fight us. Is there an ambush ahead?

Arranging an ambush on Dongting Lake is a very difficult thing.

Different from being able to use various terrains to set up ambush circles on the shore, on the lake, the opponent can be found three to five miles away.

Even if there is no telescope or observation tower, it is still possible to spot the enemy from a mile away.

Therefore, unless there is a very suitable terrain, the battles on the lake will still be more head-on battles.

Although there may be more ways to fight, it is always a head-on confrontation.

Shen He's "weak" performance of direct retreat was very consistent with his impression of Qian Jun.

"Catch up, break them up, and quickly chase the grain ship. Our goal is grain."

Wang Yong quickly issued an order. It didn't make much sense to sink one or two warships at this time. Two ships were sunk today, and tomorrow Qianguo can build four more.

During this time, everyone in Xu Fan's department had seen Qian Guo's strong manufacturing capabilities.

The service life of these urgently built warships will not be too long, and they will have to be retired in two or three years at most.

But it is enough, at least enough to finish this battle. After the battle of Dongting Lake is over, these ships can also be used to train the navy.

After it fails to function as a training ship, it can still be used as a fishing boat after a little repair.

In the end, the fishing boat could not be built, and it could be broken down and given to the people as firewood.

It only takes a little labor to build these boats, so it’s worth it!

After knowing that Qian State could quickly build warships (small and some medium-sized), Xu Fan did not pursue sinking Qian State's warships, but instead pursued killing Qian Army soldiers and plundering food.

Of course, this is also related to their decreasing food supply.

I can only survive by relying on the cadres.

That is to say, Shenwuwei has Yang Yuan's support behind him, otherwise Dongting County would be unable to bear the food lost every time on the lake.

The food given to the Shenwu Guards by the imperial court is still on the way.

Only twenty thousand stones.

The ministers in the court knew that the king would not let the Shenwuwei go to war hungry.

Domestic food can be transported slowly, and the war may be over in just a few shipments.

Everyone is happy!

As long as the war is won, the king will not care about spending more food.

Yang Yuan did think so. As long as he could win, it was worth spending a little more food.

But time cannot be delayed for too long, time is more precious than food.

The battle between Dongting Lake and Nanhu County has been going on for almost three months, and there are still more than ten days to go.

Yang Yuan's estimated war time is three months.

In addition to Dongting Lake and Nanhu County, other counties also began to attack Shunguo.

The southeastern front line is dominated by the Shenwu Guards, while the northwest frontline is dominated by the White Tiger Legion and the Suzaku Legion.

The remaining Qinglong Army was stationed in Chen County to defend Qi State.

The Xuanwu Legion was stationed in Wuwei County to guard against the barbarians.

Another reason why Cangyang County is not suitable as a Gyeonggi area appears: it is too close to the northern barbarians.

Unless Yang Yuan can kill all the barbarians or drive them to the more distant sea, Cangyang County may face the crisis of barbarian invasion every year.

It may not be considered a crisis, but it is indeed a kind of trouble and will involve a lot of energy of the court.

Now all the main armies of Qian Kingdom are rushing to all directions, but Cangyang County still retains a large number of elite troops to surround the safety of Cangyang City.

If the new capital is further away from the border, the number of troops guarding the capital can be reduced a lot.

The pressure on the capital will also be reduced a lot.

In order to provide supplies for hundreds of thousands of troops and daily necessities for hundreds of thousands of people, 70% of the output of Cangyang County is flowing to Cangyangcheng.

And this proportion is growing rapidly.

It is estimated that Cangyang County’s consumption next year will require support from other counties.

There is no need to rush the matter of moving the capital. There will be many big battles to be fought after Qian Guo.

The location of the new capital city can still be discussed.

The most important thing now is to defeat Nanhu County.

With the vast Dongting Lake, Qianguo can have a qualified navy training base.

You can't train a dragon in a small river.

The first step to transforming into a dragon starts with annihilating Xu Fan’s navy of Shun Kingdom!
