From a certain perspective, war is also a major project to overcome difficulties.
The better your preparation, the smoother the progress will be; the more accurate your calculations, the lower the chance of errors.
This battle is like that.
From blowing the charge to capturing the enemy ship, it took less than an hour. It was as smooth as having diarrhea and diarrhea.
All of this smoothness is due to all the preparations done before.
Efforts will never be in vain. At this moment, the world is settled, and the fruits of victory are basically harvested.
Qi Yu inspected the captured enemy ships with a happy mood, and then concluded: "Although these Franconian ships are better than those made by Annan, they are not advanced things. It is embarrassing from a military perspective. Very useful. However, if it is only used for offshore defense, it can be considered a scrape."
Not advanced enough?
Duan Zicheng smiled and said: "As for whether they advance first, it depends on who they compare with. If we exclude our Qiongzhou, their combat power is definitely first-class, how can it be said that it is embarrassing and useless? Woolen cloth?"
That... is true.
Franji is an old empire with developed industry, and its manufacturing capabilities are quite extraordinary. Although it is not as advanced as Qiongzhou, it is not out of the league.
In other words, their warships are still of great practical value. If they are only used for offshore defense, they are definitely more than enough.
The most important thing is: plug and play, no money required.
In addition to the battleships, there are other trophies, such as money, jewelry, shipping baggage, etc., with a total value of quite a lot.
After reviewing the seizures, the two returned to the main cabin to watch tea and talk.
Time passed quickly, and it was midnight in a blink of an eye.
Duan Zicheng looked up at the bright moon in the west and said: "Master Qi, now that the day is about to pass, can we start the military banquet? The Huotou Army has come here to urge us several times."
Qi Yu shook his head and replied: "Don't be anxious, just wait."
"Still waiting? Who are you waiting for?"
"I'm waiting for the return of General Gao Zhongde..."
The military banquet is a major event in the military and cannot be held every two days, so it is better to get it together. If an oversight occurs, wouldn't it chill the hearts of those soldiers?
This does not mean that anyone cares about the bite, but it is a kind of recognition and respect.
As Duan Zicheng is the commander of the capital army, he naturally understands this principle well, so he expressed his approval after hearing it.
In this way, all the soldiers showed understanding and were hungry until the third watch.
Finally, Gao Zhongde returned in triumph.
"How is the battle going?" Qi Yu asked impatiently as soon as they met.
"My lord, I will use all my strength to pursue and intercept the enemy along the way. I finally succeeded in driving the enemy to a mountainside, where I started a revenge and massacre. As a result, no armor was left." Gao Zhongde patted his chest and said Face said proudly.
Before he landed, he promised that he would kill him without leaving any trace behind. Could it be said that he really did it?
Qi Yu was a little unsure about this.
Gao Zhongde saw that the master seemed to have doubts, so he hurriedly explained: "What I said in my mouth is not to leave any trace of armor, but it is really clean."
"how do I say this?"
"Sir, all the corpses of the enemy were reduced to ashes with my fire, and not even a rag on their clothes was left. That's why I said that no scraps of armor were left."
So that’s what happened!
Hearing this, Qi Yu's curiosity aroused and he quickly asked about the cause of the matter.
After Gao Zhongde responded, he talked about how he defeated the enemy.
This is probably what happened.
After ascending, Gao Zhongde ordered his subordinates not to kill the enemy for the time being, but to drive all the enemies to the hill in the north like ducks on the shelf.
After achieving this step, he gave the order: Kill him without leaving any trace behind!
After the massacre was completed, he ordered that all the enemy corpses must be carried to the ruins without leaving the ground for centralized burning without any mistakes.
Then, a raging fire broke out.
After everything was reduced to ashes, Gao Zhongde left with a smile and satisfaction.
Afterwards, he told the soldiers that buried in the ruins were the soldiers of the Qiong Army who sacrificed their lives for charity. Now, he wants to use the blood of his enemies to pay tribute to the souls of these comrades.
"Ha ha……"
"This matter was done so beautifully!"
Qi Yu's blood boiled when he heard it, as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He looked up to the sky and screamed, raising his arms and shouting. In the midst of his anger, he also felt a bit of sad joy.
Next, the military banquet officially started.
In this bonfire, the song "Qin Feng Wu Yi" that has been recited from ancient to modern times sounded again.
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my sword and spear, and I share the same enemy with you..."
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same clothes with you..."
The soldiers drank tea instead of wine and showed respect to each other. At the same time, they sang war songs and danced swords for fun, all immersed in a sea of joy.
What? Tea instead of wine?
Yes!
The current location we are in is the border of Sarawak. How can we dare to truly relax when we are celebrating in another country?
As for drinking, it’s better to avoid it.
In fact, during this period of time, Sarawak has been paying close attention to the battle between the Qiong Army and the Franco Army. However, they did not dare to stand up and speak out, and they did not even have the courage to make peace.
There is no other reason than that I don’t dare to provoke him because I don’t have enough confidence.
Since you don't dare to mess with him, you might as well pretend not to see him, so that you can look more respectable.
So Sarawak pretended to be asleep.
Speaking of Qi Yu, early the next morning, he personally led his subordinates and, under the protection of Gao Zhongde's men, went straight to the ruins of the gunpowder depot.
He said: He would personally pay homage to the souls of these heroes who died in foreign lands.
After all the etiquette was over, Qi Yu burned the personally written condolence into the fire.
Then, he came to the stone tablet erected by Xiaotong and stood there sadly.
At this moment, Huang Fei suddenly flashed out, and he whispered to Qi Yu: "Sir, Leng Qing entrusted me to deliver something to you. She claimed that it was not convenient to appear in public here, so she specially Let me pass it in the middle."
After saying that, he took out a delicate piece of paper and secretly stuffed it into Qi Yu's hand.
Qi Dalang took it and spread it out, but saw that there were only two sentences on it: the first sentence was, Xiaotong was saved by my concubine, don't worry. The second sentence is that the political situation in Sarawak is somewhat stable, and the things planned are very promising.
Haha, both are good things and worth being happy about.
Especially the real situation about her daughter Xiaotong has always been a lingering concern in her throat.
Although everyone speculates that she is still alive in the world, that is an inference drawn from a stone tablet after all, and is not a solid conclusion. How can Leng Qing's words be reassuring?
Before, I had thought about visiting him for this purpose, but looking at it now, it was unnecessary.
With her daughter's martial arts skills, she can't be said to be traveling sideways. At least she is safe.
No worries!
The second piece of information is also very exciting. It is foreseeable that Sarawak may change hands in the near future.
This is the fundamental reason why Qi Yu does not advocate using force to attack this country.
If you can outwit someone, why bother with force?
Thinking of this, Qi Yu laughed twice, and then said smoothly: "Send my order to the general to quickly break up the camp and set up the stronghold. After returning to Luzon, the three armies will rest and reorganize!"
At this point, the battle in Nanyang that attracted the world's attention has completely come to an end.
