Ha ha!
Chen Dao rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Old Jiang, you really dare to think of such a thing? Do you really think the other side is as easy as cabbage? You actually want to destroy their country. That's the Moses Empire, after all, the hegemon of the Land of the Far West. They probably have quite a few troops."
The opposing side is a country with a strength comparable to the Great Liang Empire, and it is also a nation that has almost unified the entire continent. How could it only have three million troops?
Moreover, their vast colonies would grant them a much larger number of auxiliary troops, likely far exceeding their usual military strength. Judging them by conventional standards would be somewhat hasty.
"Haha, they have quite a few men, but we have quite a few men too," Jiang Wei said with great enthusiasm, showing no fear whatsoever.
He has never been afraid of war; on the contrary, he is extremely enthusiastic about it. Now is the time to demonstrate his abilities, so he naturally cherishes this opportunity.
His eyes gleamed as he stared intently at the warship ahead, his gaze almost piercing.
Having had plenty of free time, he finally had the chance to strike again, and naturally he was going to kill as many as he could.
He said solemnly, "Use small boats to encircle the enemy, and use catapults to attack them and disrupt their sailing speed. Meanwhile, launch a full-scale frontal assault and completely contain them here, lest they wreak havoc on other colonies."
It doesn't mean anything else, it's just two words.
Kill!
call out!
After the order was given, several small warships quickly shot off like arrows. Compared to the speed of a large ship, they were much faster. Because of their small and long shape, they couldn't carry too many large attack weapons, but their speed was absolutely unmatched.
Once they cut off the enemy's escape route, the enemy would have no choice but to wait for death.
At this moment, Alute and the others also noticed what was happening behind them, and their faces turned extremely pale, with many even showing signs of fear.
"Oh no, the enemy is catching up!"
"Damn it, how can the enemy's warships be so fast? They're coming like they're flying over."
They knew that if the enemy got any closer, the entire army would be attacked. The only reason they weren't attacking was to avoid letting their men escape.
These people are ruthless.
Alute trembled slightly and murmured, "These people are so ruthless; falling into their hands would be worse than death. I just hope the main force arrives soon, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out."
It's terrifying to see that the other side has just as many men, or even more.
To be honest, he didn't want to fight head-on, but reality didn't allow him to think too much. The army of the Great Liang Empire was getting closer and closer, leaving him no room to retreat.
If you don't fight back, you'll die from being beaten to death by others; that would be the most frustrating thing.
With a determined look, he said in a deep voice, "Send the order to find a suitable location for battle. Let's prepare for the fight."
Since we can't run away, let's fight.
As long as we find a good position, we don't need to worry about enemy reinforcements coming. We have 200,000 troops on our side, and the enemy has almost the same number. It's not certain who will live and who will die.
"Good!"
Several deputies also noticed the problem, and their eyes immediately turned sinister. Since you insist on pushing us to this extreme, then let's fight to the death.
We're all killers, so why are you all so arrogant? I refuse to accept this!
If you're not convinced, then fight.
Since there's no escaping it anyway, there's no need to overthink it; let's just get started.
At a single command, the 200,000-strong army of the Moses Empire instantly began to shift, forming various battle formations to welcome the arrival of the Great Liang Empire's army.
Although they didn't have many weapons on their ship, they did have a large number of bows and arrows, as well as some small catapults, which they had learned from the Great Liang Empire. Therefore, they were not without the ability to fight.
The enemy is bullying us like this, so let's have a fight.
"Yo ho!"
Seeing this scene from afar, Jiang Wei couldn't help but feel a strange glint in his eyes. He hadn't expected that after fleeing so desperately just now, the enemy would still have the courage to fight. This was truly remarkable.
He couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "That's more like it! If they just ran away without even fighting, I'd be utterly disappointed in the Moses Empire!"
How could a hegemon of the Land of the Far West be completely devoid of courage? That's impossible, absolutely impossible. Now it seems he does indeed have some skill.
"Haha, not everyone is afraid of death. They're just worried we have more reinforcements. Now that we're chasing so closely, they're not exactly immune to pressure." Chen Dao's eyes gleamed, and he seemed eager to try his luck.
Compared to previous amphibious operations, this was a real naval battle, and he was quite looking forward to it.
Ha ha!
Hearing Chen Dao's words, Jiang Wei couldn't help but laugh. There was some truth to it; after all, everyone has a temper.
However, seeing the enemy's well-organized formation, he couldn't help but laugh, "They actually have catapults now. It seems their development is quite good. But it's a pity they've encountered the Great Liang Empire; they're destined to perish here."
There was no other way; their warships were equipped with those Red-Coat Cannon, which were far superior to catapults. Compared to catapults, the Red-Coat Cannon were absolutely ruthless.
For those warships, those cannonballs were even more devastating.
"Attack!" Jiang Wei gave the order to attack.
"Not good!"
Upon seeing the change in the opponent's formation, Alute's expression instantly changed, realizing that something was amiss.
In this situation, the opponent is very likely to launch an attack.
He said in a deep voice, "Quickly destroy these small boats to prevent them from harassing us; they might be about to attack!"
These small boats are clearly there to harass and slow us down; we absolutely cannot let them linger around us or pose a significant threat.
One of Moses' generals sneered, "Don't worry, boss, this is just a small fry. Watch me smash him to death with my catapult."
He immediately ordered men to load trebuchets and aim them at a small warship ahead, intending to sink this small warship of the Great Liang Empire as a warning to others.
Just then, the enemy's small battlefield struck first. Their catapults hurled a huge black jar that landed on their warship. Strangely, it didn't cause any damage, which made everyone burst into laughter.
"This idiot actually threw over such a piece of junk! What good is it? Smash them to death!" Just as General Moses was about to make his move, he suddenly noticed something was wrong; a plume of white smoke was rising from the air.
not good!
Alute's pupils contracted, and he instantly realized something terrifying.
