Chapter 193: The Navy's First Battle, Enemy Enemy in the Yellow Sea

With the entry of the second batch of 31 warships of the Dragon City Navy, especially the emergence of this super warship that is almost confirmed to be named "Japanese Destroyer" by King Chen Huaian of the Jin Dynasty, the dragon's reputation has been greatly enhanced. The strength and combat effectiveness of the city water division.

However, only 51 warships still cannot meet the manning needs of the Longcheng Navy's more than 18,000 officers and soldiers.

It can only be said that it can alleviate the urgent need.

Chen Huaian and Qi Jiguang boarded the "Japanese Destroyer" super warship. They stood on the deck and looked at Wengcheng, the naval camp with flags flying in the distance, with mixed feelings and emotions in their hearts.

Chen Huaian said: "General Qi, there are 31 warships here, and they will all be delivered to the Longcheng Navy from now on. I hope that the officers and soldiers of the Navy will continue to carry forward the spirit of hard struggle and practice hard to kill the enemy on the water."

"Conquer the stars and the sea for our Han nation and establish immortal achievements!"

Hearing this, Qi Jiguang clasped his fists and solemnly promised: "Thanks to Your Highness for your love, the general and the officers and soldiers of the Longcheng Navy will definitely fulfill their mission!"

Um!

Chen Huaian nodded and continued: "General Qi, yesterday you reported to me that there are currently about 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Longcheng Navy who can board ships to fight, right?"

Qi Jiguang replied without hesitation: "Your Highness, yes!"

After thinking for a while, Qi Jiguang, who seemed to have realized something, added another sentence, saying: "Your Highness, if there are enough warships, the rest of the navy officers and soldiers can also board the ship and go to sea to practice in battle;"

"In this way, Longcheng Navy's officers and soldiers will have more than 50,000 combat troops!"

Ha ha!

Chen Huaian laughed heartily and boldly, and naturally understood what Qi Jiguang meant.

He patted Qi Jiguang on the shoulder and said, "General Qi, you don't need 50,000 naval officers and soldiers, just 30,000!"

"I have been told by your Majesty that 30,000 officers and soldiers of the Longcheng Navy will gather and board the ship before noon today. They will follow my Majesty out of the Bohai Sea, pass through the Yellow Sea, and finally go to the East China Sea. They will enter the inland waterway at the mouth of the Yangtze River and directly take the water of the Great New Dynasty. Jiangyin, the headquarters of the division!”

"If something urgent happens, General Qi will make arrangements as soon as possible!"

Qi Jiguang raised his eyebrows and immediately clasped his fists to accept the order: "The last general will receive the order!"

Chen Huaian said again: "By the way, General Qi, this is the first battle of the Longcheng Navy at sea. As the naval admiral, please go with me and take the "Japanese Destroyer" warship;"

"In addition, the daily training work of the remaining naval officers and soldiers cannot be slackened. Everything is left to the Vice Admiral of the Navy to take full responsibility!"

"When the Southern Expedition is successful, I will personally replenish all the remaining warships for the Dragon City Navy!"

"The general will get the order!"

...

Following the order from Jin King Chen Huaian, the officers and soldiers stationed at the Wengcheng Naval Camp in the Bohai Bay suddenly transformed into a rigorous war machine and started operating in an orderly manner.

In the naval camp, the combat troops were busy preparing combat weapons; the auxiliary troops were busy carrying food, fresh water, artillery shells, arrows and other necessary supplies to the warships;

The entire navy camp was plunged into a tense and orderly busy state.

Chen Huaian was not idle either. He changed his mind temporarily and personally led the navy officers and soldiers to detour to Jiangyin. The purpose was to join the fight for control of Emperor Lingwu and seek to pass on the imperial seal.

As a result, the original southern expedition plan had to be overturned and re-formulated.

In the Chinese army's tent, Chen Huaian began to order the messengers:

"The messengers were immediately dispatched eight hundred miles away to deliver the king's instructions to Chang Yuchun, the commander-in-chief of the Longcheng Southern Expedition Army stationed in Jinan Prefecture, and to Wang Jian, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition Reinforcement Army who was repairing in Yingzhou;"

"Order General Wang Jian to immediately assemble the army and go south when he receives the order from me, and go to Jinan Mansion to join Deputy Commander Chang;"

"Order Chang Yuchun to immediately send the vanguard troops south to clear the obstacles on the southward march of the army. When they meet up with the southern reinforcements, they will then attack north of the Yangtze River in one go;"

"In addition, I will convey my king's instructions to Wang Jian and Chang Yuchun respectively. All command of the southern expedition army will be given to the deputy marshal Chang Yuchun of Longcheng Army. There must be no mistake!"

"The general will get the order!"

The messenger immediately took the order and left.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of Longcheng Navy Admiral Qi Jiguang came from outside the big tent:

"Report——"

"Informing His Highness the King of Jin, the 30,000 Longcheng Navy officers and soldiers have all boarded the ships and assembled in accordance with the instructions given by His Highness the King of Jin. The 31 warships have also set sail and are ready to sail at any time. Please give me your permission, Your Highness the King of Jin!"

"good!"

Chen Huaian shouted, picked up the golden helmet placed on the table, and strode out of the Chinese army's tent.

Outside the big tent, Xiao Po, the commander of the Jinwu Guards, had already prepared his war horse for him.

While greeting Qi Jiguang, Chen Huaian skillfully got on his horse, then waved his hand and ordered: "General Qi, set off from the dock, board the ship and go to sea!"

drive!

Before he finished speaking, Chen Huaian, the king of Jin, who was wearing a golden battle armor and a golden helmet, took the lead in riding Juechen and rushed out of the gate of Wengcheng Navy Camp.

All that was left was the unrestrained golden shadow in the generals' field of vision.

Seeing this, Navy Admiral Qi Jiguang, Jinwu Guard Commander Xiao Po, and a group of Jinwu Guard soldiers wearing golden armor also hurriedly got on their horses, violently knocked on the belly of the war horse, and followed the steps of His Highness King Jin.

Not long after, Chen Huaian and his party boarded the "Japanese Destroyer" treasure ship.

Noon has just arrived.

Jin King Chen Huaian, who stood proudly on the bow of the "Japanese Destroyer" treasure ship, gave an order: "Longcheng Navy Fleet, set off!"

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Woo——

Immediately afterwards, war drums were beaten and horns sounded on the ships of the fleet.

The "Miewo" super warship, the bow of the ship, started first and slowly sailed out of the Wengcheng Wharf in Bohai Bay.

Then, the remaining thirty medium-sized warships of the Longcheng Navy Fleet slowly sailed out of the port one by one, like giant dragons ready to take off and tumbling on the sea.

Standing on the deck, Chen Huaian and his party looked back and saw sails fluttering and colorful on the azure sea. The sails were embroidered with dragon patterns and auspicious clouds, and the sails were rustling in the sea breeze.

The super warship that Chen Huaian was riding on was a unique existence in the Longcheng Navy Fleet.

Not only was the hull longer and wider, but there was also a huge wooden dragon head standing proudly on the bow. A pair of dragon eyes were piercing, with endless oppression and royal majesty, which made people daunted.

As the Longcheng Navy Fleet sailed out of the port and headed for the vast Bohai Sea, the movement of the fleet ships also became calm.

Chen Huaian and his party also left the deck and returned to the crew cabin of the warship.

The crew cabin of this super warship is called a cabin, but in fact it is a magnificent palace.

Among them, the extremely luxuriously decorated hall is no less than the Hall of Supreme Harmony of the Jin Palace in the fiefdom of Longcheng.

The party rested in the hall and waited for the fleet to arrive in Jiangyin.

The next day.

Chen Huaian was looking at the nautical chart in the hall, but suddenly a messenger's announcement came from outside the hall:

"Report-"

"Your Highness, the Jin King, the fleet has found dozens of unidentified ships in the Yellow Sea ahead!"
