"What should we do? There are thousands of people in this ship...Sir! Do you want to sink it?" The first mate looked at the injured transport ship on the side and turned his head to look at his captain.
The captain lowered his head and was not very willing to issue such an order, but according to the previous action plan, he did not have the obligation to collect the prisoners.
The route of the Tang Army was very safe, and the entire route from Dongwan to Linshui was within the range of aircraft. The Mirage Navy was afraid of aircraft and had never made any attempt to break the engagement.
Because the Tang army lacked troops and had no desire to fight at sea, it dragged on until now.
Now the situation has fundamentally changed. The main fleet of the Tang Army has moved northward. This cruiser set out from Linshui and came to provoke in advance.
After letting the mirage transport fleet go for so long, the Tang Navy began to prepare to collect interest.
Since it is here to collect interest, there cannot be any messy rules. War is so cruel, especially for the navy.
"Sink it with gunfire... We can't continue hunting with such a broken ship. Anyway, they will definitely have time to send out their coordinates." After a long silence, the captain still gave the order to open fire.
On the one hand, it is because the battle plan clearly stipulates that surrendered enemy ships are not allowed to be accommodated, and on the other hand, it is also because the various crimes committed by Mirage in Qi really angered many Tang people.
Even if there is an ongoing war with the Qi State, the Tang people and the Qi people are at least a dispute between people. Even in the minds of dwarves and elves, goblins are not considered human beings, and are even lower than orcs.
"Yes, sir!" The adjutant hesitated before, but immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the order. He turned around and ordered loudly: "Fire!"
The side cannons originally pointed at the transport ship fired continuously, leaving a row of holes in the waterline of the transport ship, and then the transport ship began to roll violently.
The Mirage soldiers on the deck shouted and cursed loudly, and then they could only watch the slender Tang cruiser sail away.
On this day, the Mirage Navy received two telegrams. Two troop transport ships were sunk, and there was no news about a sailboat.
…
The Tang Army's warship suddenly appeared on the busy maritime transportation line between Mirage Kingdom and Beiyuan City, which suddenly made Mirage Kingdom's top naval officials nervous.
But the direct victim of this incident was Mirage Saburo, the commander of the Mirage Army who was trapped in Beiyuan City.
He had always been worried about the supply line behind him, but as expected, something went wrong with this fragile supply line, just as he thought!
Without the artillery shells and bullets produced in the Mirage Kingdom, the Mirage Army trapped in Beiyuan City would soon run out of ammunition in their hands.
What makes Mirage Saburo even more desperate is that the new weapons in his hands are all shipped from Mirage. He has just confirmed the effectiveness of these weapons and plans to make more similar weapons to stop the Tang army's attack. , but there was a problem with the supply line behind him.
"I knew it! I knew it! Damn it! You can't believe those bastards in the Navy!" In his office, Mirage Takesaburo's face was already very ugly.
He lost his temper alone and dropped the glass originally used by the second prince of Qi State on the ground. Looking at the fragments on the ground, Mirage Musaburo was stunned for a moment. Only then did he realize that the cup he had just dropped was worth five gold coins and was a genuine luxury item.
The Mirage Kingdom has always raised excess money to purchase large warships and various arms. In fact, their lives are very tight.
The high-level officials of the Mirage Kingdom obviously do not enjoy life as much as the noble men of the Qi Kingdom. Mirage Takesaburo even felt that if the people of Qi had used all the money they spent on luxury goods to buy weapons, they would not be so miserable.
"General! What happened?" Hearing the noise in the room, the adjutant pushed open the door and entered. He looked at the broken pieces of the water glass on the floor and quickly asked someone to come in and clean it up.
The person who came to clean the house was a little girl from Qi State. She timidly started cleaning the floor with a broom, for fear of making any noise.
But Mirage Takesaburo still noticed the maid who walked into the room, with an obscene light in his eyes and a wicked smile on his face.
"Guard!" He weighed it and realized that if he used force, he might not be able to succeed if the woman struggled. So he glanced at the adjutant and shouted loudly to the guard at the door.
Two guards broke in and waited for the order from their general: "Hold her down! Hey hey hey hey."
Although the Mirage people are born short and extremely ugly, four people can still deal with one woman.
Soon a woman's screams were heard in the room, followed by wailing, and finally the sounds of struggling began to become smaller and gradually disappeared.
Mirage Musaburo, who had vented his anger, sat in his seat and watched the other maid who was forced to come in to clean up the blood stains on the floor and the broken water glass.
I heard that the last maid broke the general's favorite glass and was beaten to death here. There was blood on the ground and some torn hair. It looked like the woman must have been beaten badly.
Next to a Binghan truck outside the house, four Mirage soldiers threw a disheveled female body into the truck's cargo box and then covered it with a canvas.
A snow-white arm hung down feebly, protruding from the corner of the canvas, forming a strange angle with the exposed feet.
"General!" The adjutant pushed the door open again, ignoring the woman packing things next to him, and walked up to Mirage Saburo: "Cyric's advisor is here, and he said he wants to see you."
"It must be nothing good." Mirage Saburo complained, and finally had to receive these "noble" guests: "Let him come in."
In fact, in order to win this war, Cyric gave Mirage a lot of free military assistance: they provided a large amount of weapons and ammunition, so everyone in Mirage could only be polite to these Cyric advisors.
As soon as he entered the door, Cyric's advisor explained his purpose: "General Mirage Saburo! We hope to leave Beiyuan City and return to Mirage Country."
"Leave? Why?" Mirage Saburo stared at each other and asked, "Aren't you afraid of shaking the morale of the defenders if you leave at this time?"
"Our work here has been completed, so we decided to leave." Cyric's advisor explained: "The rest will be left to you, general."
"I don't have a boat for you." Mirage Saburo said directly: "If you want to leave, you will have to find a boat by yourself."
"The Navy has provided us with ships. Thank you General for your kindness." Cyric's advisor continued to say with a smile, as if to show off his wide network of contacts.
"Then I won't see you off." Mirage Saburo waved his hand and gave the order to expel the guests. Cyric has more than 300 advisers in Beiyuan City, so Mirage Saburo uses the word "you".
"Goodbye!" Cyric's advisor turned and left without any hesitation.
"I hope there will be another chance to meet again." Mirage Musaburo muttered in a low voice to the back of Advisor Cyric with a gloomy face.
"What did you say?" Cyric's advisor turned back with a bright smile.
"It's nothing. I wish you a safe journey." The smile on Mirage Saburo's face became much more natural and he answered.
After Cyric's advisor turned around and went out, his face darkened again.
What he didn't know was that in the corridor, Cyric's advisor had the same sinister look on his face, which was terrifying.
In the room, Mirage Takezaburo looked at his adjutant: "They got the news as soon as there was a problem with the supply line. Don't those money-minded bastards in the country have any sense of confidentiality?"
He had just received the news that the supply line had been attacked by the Tang Navy. The Mirage advisory group had even packed their luggage. The speed was amazing! It seems that Cyric's infiltration of the top management of the Mirage Kingdom is still very effective. This must be informed to the country's leader!
On the other hand, he was also thinking about whether to transport all the various treasures from the Qi Kingdom collected over the past few days back to the Mirage Kingdom. This was all his hard work and must be protected as much as possible.
You know, these are all money! It's all his money! With this money, even if the general fails, he will have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life, right?
The adjutant lowered his head and said nothing. He had just heard from his general that the supply line had been attacked, and at this moment he was already in chaos.
What he wants now is to quickly find some reason to return home so that he can stay away from this dangerous place as much as possible.
After all, I heard that the Tang people were not so friendly to the Mirage people. Even now, the Mirage prisoners on Dongwan Island are still digging holes in the Meishan Mountains. How can they be so miserable?
I heard that the great mirage traitor Mirage Wuxiong took refuge in the Tang Dynasty to help the emperor, and was so cruel to the prisoners of the mirage country that he was even more hateful than the Tang Dynasty people.
Just as he was cursing Mirage Bear in his mind, Mirage Saburo gave instructions: "From today on, 30% of the ammunition transported will be sent out of the city to the peripheral troops, and 70% will stay in the city to prepare for street fighting! "
"Yes! General!" The adjutant was stunned for a moment, then stood at attention and saluted, lowering his head and said. He knew that once this order was executed, almost all the troops outside the city, except for a few main divisions, would be sold.
"Don't worry! After so many days, the Tang Army has not bombed the city. What does it mean? It means they are trying to seize a relatively complete Beiyuan City!" Mirage Saburo proudly explained to his adjutant: "They The more reluctant we are, the safer we will be!"
"When the time comes, we will fight to the death with these Tang people in the city! Turn Beiyuan City into the tomb of the Tang army!" He gritted his teeth and said with a gloomy face.
