With the pope's order, the heavy artillery moved, Gu Yun's main ship was unable to avoid it.

Private: "Marshal!"

At the critical moment, four to five small ships rushed out without Gu Yun's order, using themselves to guard in front of the main ship; an explosion instantly sounded.

Gu Yun's side face suddenly tightened. At this time, a sailor stumbled in and said, "Marshal, we cannot hold on anymore!"

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Marshal!"

"It's alright, don't panic. The back team, change to the front, hold them for a while," Gu Yun whispers, "From... "

He didn't finish his words; suddenly, there was an Eagle sound in the air. It was so sharp that it was like an alarm post. Even Gu Yun, a half-deaf, could hear it.

Gu Yun looked back.

That was the code from Shen Yi, who was in charge as the chief dispatcher on the shore — the other side had succeeded!

The soldier froze for a moment, then jumped up: "Our Eagles!"

Gu Yun: "Give me a Qian Li Yan."

The soldier licked his chapped lips: "Marshal, we..."

"Be careful!"

Boom!——

At this time, a stray bullet was passing through the gap of the guarding ships, hitting the tail of Great Liang’s main ship. The whole sea Jiao warship trembled greatly, smoke and sparks arose from all directions.

In the chaos, a piece of a liuli glass flew away, broken.

On the 24th day of January, Li Feng was awakened by the urgent battle report in the middle of the night before the Foreign Affairs Mission could arrive at the front line.

Signed with the Black Tiger emblem — the frontline achieved great victory!

Gu Yun's arrangements in the past half-year had begun to take shape. No one knew when he had sent his men to the south, secretly instigated a group of islands in Nanyang occupied by the Westerner troops and ambushed a large part of troops in the southwest border.

On the night of January 21st, a part of the main forces of Great Liang’s navy raided the enemy directly on the battlefield, using the cautious nature of the enemy's general to contain the enemy's forces. At the same time, the warship group which was lying in ambush on the southwest border, both sides in and out cooperated and swept over the islands at Nanyang, annihilated the forces of the foreigners occupied here, then immediately sent troops to intercept the supply line of the enemy, choking the enemy's neck!

Who said that Great Liang's navy could not fight on the open sea?

The war report was very concise, stating only the results, not much for the details and casualties.

After this battle, the Western troops retreated to the sea area of Dongying in a panic. The local militia took the opportunity to attack the enemy on the ground. The southern half of the country exploded in all directions; it was the first dawn on the frontline after a long gloomy period.
