Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"Report! The latest information came from Jinghai." Fang Zhong quickly ran to Lin Yi, who was looking at the map, and saluted him with a standard military salute.

Lin Yi did not raise his head, but said in a deep voice: "Speak!"

Hearing Linyi's words, Fang Zhong did not hesitate at all and said directly: "Your Majesty, all the people in Jinghai have been evacuated. The only one stationed in Jinghai now is a capital division from Jinghai."

"I know, where is John's combined fleet now?" Lin Yi turned back and looked at Fang Zhong.

"According to the latest information from Penglai, the combined fleet passed through the Miao Island chain at 4 o'clock this morning and has now entered the Daxia Beihai territory." Fang Zhong thought for a moment and immediately reported the information he knew Speak up.

"It came quite quickly." Lin Yi measured the distance from Miao Island to Jinghai on the map, and then said to Fang Zhong: "Tell the defenders over Jinghai that the enemy's combined fleet is expected to Arriving at the outer waters of Jinghai at [-] o’clock this afternoon.”

"My request to them requires them to hold on until four o'clock tomorrow. They must hold on for 24 hours to buy enough time for our army! As long as they hold on for one day, I will ask for credit from Your Majesty on their behalf!"

When Lin Yi said this, he solemnly said to Fang Zhong: "Make it clear to them that they must guard until the whole day, not even a minute earlier!"

"Yes!" Fang Zhong heard Lin Yi's words and saluted him again.

"Also, did the bridges on the Yongding River and Wenyu River explode?" Lin Yi suddenly thought.

"It has been blown up. Now the only bridge connecting to Jinghai is the Chaobai Bridge in front of us." Fang Zhong nodded.

"Yes, I understand. Please urge Commander Sun to get them to the predetermined location as soon as possible." Lin Yi heard Fang Zhong say that the other bridges had been blown up, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Lin Yi waved his hand and asked Fang Zhong to carry out his order.

After doing all this, Lin Yi lowered his head and looked at the map.

To be honest, this battle put a lot of pressure on Lin Yi. After all, he was only a military king before. But no matter how powerful the King of Soldiers is, he is just a soldier.

If he is asked to command a battle, he is confident that he can do a good job, but if he is asked to command a battle, a war, this is also the first time for him that a big girl has been on a sedan chair.

Not to mention other things, just the deployment of these hundreds of thousands of people made him feel a little overwhelmed. This did not include the supplies and ammunition rations that these people had to eat.

He had too many things to consider every day, and he was deeply afraid that one of his oversights would lead to the failure of the entire war.

After all, he couldn't afford to lose this battle, and Daxia behind him couldn't afford to lose either.

Since the day before yesterday, Lin Yi has only slept for less than eight hours in the past two days. He needed to choose a place suitable for a decisive battle, and this place was the Chaobai River Bridge at his feet.

Responsible for blocking John, the main force of Gaul, and also his new first division. Other soldiers from the Beijing camp were also separated by him and scattered throughout the country.

After he blocks the coalition forces, the soldiers from the Beijing camp will begin to surround him and try to annihilate all these coalition soldiers here.

"Hey, after this incident is over, we have to find some advisers. This job is really taxing." Lin Yi threw the pencil in his hand on the map, sat back on the chair, and pinched it hard. He pinched his eyebrows.

At the same time, in Jinghai, an important port city in the northeastern part of Beihai.

At this time, all the people in Jinghai City had been forcibly relocated by the Beijing Camp. Currently, only [-] people from the Third Division of the Beijing Camp are still in the city.

Qian Hongtao, commander of the Third Division of the Beijing Camp, and the eldest son of Ancihou of Daxia.

Logically speaking, Qian Hongtao was also a noble, so he could have inherited his father Qian Yi's title equally.

But Qian Hongtao was also a restless master, so passionate that he even went so far as to join the army without telling his family. For this, Mr. Qian was almost angry to death.

Later, it was Zhao Xu who mediated, and Qian Hongtao reconciled with Qian Yi.

At this time, Qian Hongtao was sitting in a private house in Jinghai, drinking coffee and looking at the officers beside him with a contented expression.

"Master, Prince Rui sent an urgent message." At this time, Qian Hongtao's adjutant said to Qian Hongtao.

"Read it." Qian Hongtao took a sip of coffee and then said in an orderly manner.

"I hereby order Qian Hongtao, commander of the Third Division of the Great Xia Empire's Beijing Camp, to order your troops to be stationed in Jinghai for 24 hours! During this period, you are not allowed to retreat, otherwise military law will be engaged! Once the time is up, your troops can retreat!"

"Everyone obeys! Lin Yiling, Prince Rui of the Great Xia Empire!" The adjutant finished reading the message in his hand in one breath, and then looked at Qian Hongtao.

After listening to the order, Qian Hongtao put the coffee in his hand on the table in front of him, and then calmly said to his adjutant: "Return to Prince Rui, all three of our divisions will defend Jinghai to the death. Take a step back in advance.”

"Yes!" When the adjutant heard Qian Hongtao's words, he immediately wanted to leave and call Lin Yi back.

"Come back!" Seeing the adjutant about to leave, Qian Hongtao called out to him.

"Teacher's seat." The adjutant turned around again and stood still, looking at Qian Hongtao.

"How is the construction progress of the fortifications in the city?" Qian Hongtao looked at his adjutant and asked.

"Master, the fortifications in the city have been basically completed, but I don't think the fortifications we have built can block the naval guns of the combined fleet."

Speaking of this, the adjutant also looked a little ugly.

Daxia already knows the configuration of the battleships of the combined fleet, and Qian Hongtao and his adjutants also know what they are going to face.

When I think of the 230mm main gun of the Combined Fleet flagship Barbaric, everyone will feel their scalp numb.

Fortunately, the opponent only has four 230mm main guns, and the rest are some 152mm secondary guns.

But whether it is a 230mm main gun or a 152mm secondary gun, it is a terrible nightmare for the third division.

First, Qian Hongtao and the others could only pray that the opponent's combined fleet would fire a few less rounds of artillery, and then directly send their army ashore. Only by allowing the third division to engage the opponent in close combat can the opponent's warships miss two rounds.

This is the suppression of countries without sea power by powerful sea powers.

If Daxia's main fleet was still there, at least it would not let the other party's alliance bombard Jinghai so unscrupulously.

"There is no way around it. Let the brothers spread out as much as possible, find the back to avoid the opponent's naval gun attack, wait until the opponent gathers and land, and then gather the brothers from the third division."

Qian Hongtao sighed, and then continued to say to his adjutant: "Go down first to convey the order and let the brothers prepare for artillery defense."

"Yes!" The adjutant asked Zhao Hongtao to leave, and then he exited Qian Hongtao's command room.
