607 Not Simple

After Zhao Bing listened to the report, the casualties, harvests and consumption of this battle were roughly counted. In this battle, the navy of each battalion suffered a total of 123 officers and soldiers, and more than 300 were injured; three small warships were destroyed, and more than ten damaged warships were injured, including three dragon ships, all of which must be put into the field for maintenance. In this battle, more than 60 enemy ships of all sizes were sunk, more than ten severely damaged, and more than 700 enemy soldiers were captured. Because of the war, the tonnage of the destroyed enemy ships should be between 2,000 and 4,000.

From a summary, Zhao Bing found that the casualties and the destroyed warships were caused by the enemy's stone throwing aircraft, and the results of his own side were mostly from crossbows and rockets. The close-killing battle only occurred in the stage of cleaning the battlefield. Therefore, it can be concluded that this battle was a battle of long-range firepower, rather than traditional collisions and hand-to-hand combat, which shows that the enemy has learned from the previous experience of defeating the Qiongzhou navy and strengthened the assembly of long-range strike weapons. From another side, it is also proved that these navy troops rushed to themselves.

From the surface, the results of this battle have been quite good. It is called the last victory, but it also exposed many problems, especially intelligence errors, which lead to passiveness and improper handling. If there was no flash of inspiration in my mind and intuition that the enemy naval army had basically been assembled and sent a reinforcement fleet in time, it is very likely that Liu Wenjun would have been left at sea.

"Although our army won this battle, it was extremely dangerous. Strictly speaking, it was a defeat. I don't know why you still laughed?" Zhao Bing threw Wenjuan on the table with a "slap" and asked with a squinted eye and glanced at the generals in the hall.

Originally, everyone thought that although this battle had suffered a small loss, it was more than ten times more than himself, and it was impossible to say a defeat. The little emperor nodded frequently when listening to the report, and did not show any dissatisfaction. He also arranged to add food to the soldiers returning to the flight and reward them well. Therefore, everyone thought that even if they did not give a heavy reward, they would definitely praise them. It was with this idea that everyone was very relaxed, talking and laughing about the battle that had just ended, teasing the enemy who had been beaten so badly. But the style suddenly changed, and the little emperor got angry, which made everyone at a loss.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates think that this battle is not good. First of all, they are not estimating the strength of the enemy. So they rashly launched a large-scale search and placed the mail ship team in a dangerous place, causing unnecessary losses. This is all my fault!" Liu Zhu saw that everyone was staring at the little emperor's "sharp" eyes so hard that he didn't dare to raise his head. He was also sweating at the forehead, but he was always cold and the little emperor might be even more angry, so he quickly reviewed himself.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are too careless. They have easily estimated the power of the enemy's gold juice cannons, causing damage to many ships. Besides... they should not have used the tactics of strong attack and hard attack when they were in a passive state. In addition, they have adopted the wrong tactics and launched a collision without destroying or suppressing the enemy's stone throwing aircraft, which has caused serious damage to the three battlefields to withdraw from the battle in advance!" Chen Renweng said with shame. At that time, when the enemy and us were at Qizhouyang, when the enemy and us had a very different force and the battle situation was even more intense, none of the ten dragon ships withdrew from the battle from beginning to end was damaged, which shows that he had problems in command.

"Your Majesty, my subordinate's fault is that he failed to judge the situation and misjudged the enemy's combat effectiveness. After suffering losses, he failed to correct his mistakes in time. Instead, he was blinded by anger and started to pursue him rashly. If reinforcements had not arrived in time, it would have caused great losses!" Liu Wenjun saw that both of them had started self-examination, and understood that His Majesty was not satisfied with their performance, so he hurriedly started self-criticism.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have not prepared their combat readiness, so they only replenished supplies when they received the order to set sail, which wasted time. In addition, after the departure, they did not send a sentry to join the search, and only rely on the sentry ships that were inspected in advance to provide information. They failed to arrive at the battle site in time, and missed the fighter plane." Dong Yicheng thought that he did not catch up with the battle, but there were also mistakes, so he also reviewed.

"It's right!" Zhao Bing nodded, but said sternly, "But what you said is just a superficial mistake, but no one said the truth!"

"Please let Your Majesty make it clear!" Liu Zhu saw that the young emperor was still dissatisfied, but he couldn't think of what was wrong, so he could only grit his teeth and stood up and salute and asked.

"We all misunderstood the word "Apride!" Zhao Bing said with a stern face, "Our navy has won several battles since its establishment, but it has become arrogant. He thinks that the world is invincible. His words and actions are based on this setting, but he does not know that there is a sky beyond heaven. If the newly arrived enemy army is not familiar with our combat methods today, it would be a situation of annihilation!"

"Your Majesty is saying that this conflict is not accidental, but the enemy's trap?" Liu Zhu broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. If the enemy had planned it before, but he was completely unaware of it. He thought that the enemy was still complacent after winning it, it was very terrible. If he didn't realize it, he might not be so lucky next time.

"Think about the whole story. The enemy's secret assembly has lasted for nearly a month and has never revealed any flaws, which shows that they are extremely cautious. But this time, they "mistaken" through our cordon in broad daylight. Isn't it strange if you think about it?"

"When our wardrobe was discovered, we were approached to board the ship and inspected, but we were suddenly attacked, right?" Zhao Bing asked again. Everyone nodded and thought that what His Majesty was right. "Okay, many of you have operated catapults. Who can remove the camouflage in just a few breaths, set up the catapults, and complete the loading, aiming and launching?"

"Your Majesty, even a small catapult may operate more than a dozen people. It takes at least a quarter of an hour to get the order to complete the launch, and it is even slower at sea. This shows that the enemy ship has completed the launch preparation when the sentry is approaching, but perhaps it is because the enemy ship is worried about being discovered after crossing the cordon, so he is ready for battle!" Liu Wenjun said, but he also expressed his doubts.

"Okay, even if the enemy is worried about making preparations for combat to prevent accidents after crossing the line, do you think three medium-sized warships can fight or can't catch up with a injured sentry ship?" Zhao Bing asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty is joking, how can you beat me!" Liu Wenjun said with a wry smile.

"Okay, let's turn it over. If you are the leader of three enemy ships, are you eager to escape after you succeed in one blow? Or will you sink the "enemy ship" together, instead of watching them calmly rescue the robes of the landslide and let them pass the news of the attack?" Zhao Bing was not annoyed, but made an assumption according to his statement.

"If the subordinates lead the troops, they will definitely sank all the wardrobe ships and shoot all the enemy soldiers who fell into the water, instead of leaving in a hurry!" Liu Wenjun replied without thinking, and everyone nodded and said that they would be like this when they encountered such a thing.

"This is just the second thing I doubt!" Zhao Bing confirmed again and continued, "Even if they fled in panic after hitting because they were afraid of a blow, everyone already knows that the enemy is already very familiar with the routes and nodes we cruise. At the speed of their warships, they can completely avoid our interception. If you have time to enter Xuwen Port, there is no need to hide in Guantou Village for a night, exposing their transit place, and then chase them and beat them the next day after we discovered it the next day!"

"Your Majesty's suspicion is completely understandable. This is the enemy's trick!" Liu Zhu thought clearly, "The enemy has already decided that we will retaliate if we suffer losses, and will search for it in large quantities, so he used three ships as bait to lure us to the sea outside Xuwen, and more than 70 warships were ambushed there, and we wiped out our fleets one by one. Although this move could not shake our foundation, it also greatly damaged our morale. But they did not expect that the motor fleet we sent had so many warships, so they did not succeed.

"The enemy fleet lies behind the headland should have been preparing to ambush our reinforcement fleet, but they did not expect that Xuwen's enemy was defeated too quickly and fled to the sea of ​​vagueness, and the reinforcements lieutenant here were exposed in advance. And the reinforcements of the Chengmai arrived almost at the same time. In this way, both sides were evenly matched, and they did not dare to fight without authorization, which allowed our army to escape this disaster. Your Majesty, is the analysis correct by his subordinates?"

"Well, the truth is basically the case." Zhao Bing nodded and said with a little relief. He was not all fools at all.

"Hey, fortunately, she gave them a meal of 'hot meat' as soon as she met her, otherwise they would have succeeded in their tricks!" Liu Wenjun shouted for his wise decision.

"Yes, yes, if I hadn't been retreating, I would have beaten them again, and maybe I'd catch up!" Dong Yicheng also laughed and said in line.

"Hmph, I haven't asked yet, you two have invited me to do the award!" Zhao Bing looked at Liu Wenjun, then looked at Dong Yicheng and snorted coldly.

"I don't dare!" When the two heard that His Majesty was not good at speaking, they immediately regretted his self-righteousness. Isn't they asking for trouble? They looked at each other and stood up and saluted.

"Commander Liu, you want to disrupt the formation of the enemy fleet in the first round of rockets. It is a matter of fact. I can't say anything. But when the enemy ship has been damaged by 70% of the enemy ship, why are you firing the second round of rockets?" Zhao Bing walked over and raised his hand to pat Liu Wenjun's shoulder bent.

"Your Majesty, I am..." Liu Wenjun stuttered for a long time but could not come up with a reasonable explanation, but sweated all over his neck.

"Commander Dong, tell me, the enemy has not moved, and the two armies are more than a thousand steps apart. Is your rocket volley a ship or a fish?" Zhao Bing twisted his body and asked Dong Yicheng with his back.

"Your Majesty, I am really..." Dong Yicheng couldn't come up with a reason after a while. He knew that the rocket was created by His Majesty, and he understood how to use it more than everyone here, and he didn't feel regretful of the impulse at that time.

"Hmph, I can't say it, you are dereliction of duty, falsely reporting losses, and neglecting your duties!" Zhao Bing said, lit up the foreheads of the two.

"Your Majesty, I know the crime, please punish me!" He couldn't stand the hat he was holding down, so they knelt on one knee and apologized.

"Do you know how many steps it takes to build a rocket and how much money it costs?" Zhao Bing said more and more angrily, he picked up the teacup on the table next to him and threw it on the ground, saying, "That takes more than twenty steps. After the hands of more than ten craftsmen, it takes thousands of dollars to be delivered to your warship. You can shoot a volley of 500 stags of money! That's enough for the five-day meal expenses of the first battalion of soldiers, and the tax on 500 acres of land is enough to pay, but you can set it off for me as fireworks without any sense."

"Your Majesty, I am wrong. If you want to be beaten and punish, you will never complain!" Liu Wenjun and Dong Yicheng said with shame when they heard this.

"Your Majesty, although they have had one, the war is coming, so please let Your Majesty deal with it at your discretion." Seeing the young emperor's angry look, Liu Zhu was really afraid that he would withdraw all the two generals in anger. How could he fight that battle? He hurriedly pleaded.

"Your Majesty, although the generals in this battle have made mistakes, they can be considered a small victory. Please allow the two generals to lose their merits and avoid the pain of being flesh and blood!" Chen Renweng also hurried forward to help speak.

"Hey, they all plead for you and the two of you, so what do you think I should deal with you?" Zhao Bing squatted down and asked Liu Wenjun and said with a smile.

"I just hope that Your Majesty can keep his subordinates alive and let him go to fight to kill the enemy!" Liu Wenjun and Dong Yicheng looked up at His Majesty and said.

"Well, this attitude is pretty good, but if you don't punish, you won't have a memory!" Zhao Bing stood up and circled around them.

"As long as you can go into battle, you will be beaten or punished, and your subordinates will be absolutely right!" The two of them looked up at the little emperor turning around, and they said with great difficulty.

"Oh, I have an idea. From today on, the meal expenses of you two will be reduced to the same as those of ordinary soldiers. Three meals a day must be used with soldiers, and no private meals are allowed." Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to use military sticks to fight each other!" Liu Wenjun said with a bitter face after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, it's better to punish the subordinates for their salary!" Dong Yicheng's face turned dark and he also asked.

"No! It's a tentative period of one year. I will ask someone to stare at you. If you have a private dinner and have a meal without authorization, go to Sheji to wipe the deck for me!" Zhao Bing said sternly.

"Your Majesty has given you a lighter treatment. You are still bargaining. Thank you very much, wait for death!" Liu Zhu walked over and kicked them and said softly.

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness, long live, long live, long live!" Liu Wenjun and Dong Yicheng had no choice but to kowtow and thank him.

"I am tired, so you can rest first. Let's discuss it tomorrow if you have something to do!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked the two of them to get up, yawned, and then walked towards the backyard.

"Greatly send your Majesty!" Everyone also quickly bowed.

"Master, Your Majesty's ruthless move is not only a loss of stomach, but also a loss of face. It's better to be beaten by a military stick!" Seeing that Your Majesty was missing, Liu Wenjun straightened up and complained to Liu Zhu.
