Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention - Chapter 196

  Chapter 196 This king likes you!

   “Port, do we have ships?” Tian E asked, “Tian Zhe mobilized the big ships from Jimo City to attack the bandits. Now all the ships in Jimo are in the hands of the bandits. How can we attack?”

   “This…” The generals looked at each other, this is really a problem.

  【Tian E besieged the city in June, but was still unable to attack Jimo City by force, so he withdrew his troops. 】

  Tian E returned to the capital and reported to Tian Heng: “Your Majesty, Jimo City is well-defended and can rely on the port to transport supplies. If there is no navy and artillery, I am afraid that the city can be broken!”

  Tian Heng was very dissatisfied that hundreds of thousands of people failed to capture Jimo City, wasting a lot of manpower and material resources.

   But he was very clear that Tian E was not looking for excuses.

  He can only order: “From now on, call the boatmen from all over the country to build large ships and train the navy. Send another envoy to South Korea to buy firearms!”

  In this game, Han Mengshu started to manufacture firearms as he did in the previous game, and so did other countries.

  …

  After Tian E retired, Jiang Chan once again ushered in a relatively peaceful period of development.

  Now there is an entire city and surrounding territories, and the sea transportation is more developed.

  【You summon the people in the city to expand the port! 】

  【You build a new ship workshop in Jimo City to build a big ship. 】

  【You issued an order, rewarded the captain who opened the route, and encouraged maritime trade. In a short time, everyone in Jimo City rushed to the sea, opening a great age of navigation! 】

  【Two years later. 】

   At this time, the general situation of the world has undergone many changes.

  Jiang Chan checks the intelligence records of the simulator.

Now it shows that Qin State has taken down the surrounding Rong and Di tribes, and even controlled the Hexi Corridor; Wei State annexed Bashu; South Korea annexed Zhongshan State and Song State this time by relying on the benefits of firearms; Zhao State laid down the Yiqu; Yan Guo pacified Donghu.

  The State of Yue was annexed by the State of Chu.

  Only Qi State is still standing still, and she is still developing in Jimo City; while Tian Heng is busy training the navy to attack her.

  …

“Your Majesty, three thousand sailors have been trained. Now we have more than a thousand warships, of which more than a hundred are large-winged ships, all equipped with artillery purchased from South Korea!” Tian E reported the progress to Tian Heng, “Water The army has also finished training and is ready to fight at any time!”

   “Okay!” Tian Heng ordered, “Jiang Chan must be strangled this time, and it will be a one-off battle!”

  【Tian E led an army of 100,000 to attack Jimo City. He brought a large number of chariots, artillery and warships. 】

   This time is the real battle of Qi’s ownership. In order to collect these war resources, Tian Heng also paid a huge price. If he loses the battle, he will lose the support of the nobles and common people in the country.

  In Jimo City, Jiang Chan heard the news and was also making preparations.

   “From now on, all civilian ships with a captain of more than 20 feet will be recruited. All warships will be on standby at Jimo Port and the island port!”

   “Block all traffic arteries around Jimo City!”

   “Curfew and strengthen the city defense!”

  Jiang Chan is also ready to fight. In the past two years, Jimo City has absorbed a lot of wealth and population. Although the army is still less than half of the opponent, relying on the city defense and warships, they still have the power to fight!

  【Tian E’s army came to Jimo City and began to attack the city. 】

   “Boom!”

   “Bang!” Tian E bombarded the city wall with artillery, trying to open the gap.

   On the walls of Jimo City, artillery was also installed, and the two bombarded each other.

   Afterwards, Tian Ai ordered the soldiers to attack the city. Zhang Beichen already had a lot of experience in defending the city. With his calm command, he blocked several waves of the enemy’s offensive.

   “It seems that we have to attack from the waterway!” Tian E understood that if this continues, his losses will be even greater.

   “Send the order, order the warship to attack!”

  Their warships had already entered the sea, and they were heading to the port of Jimo City along the coastline.

   On the sea, a naval battle is about to begin!

  …

  At this time, Zhang Beichen was in charge of defending the city, while Jiang Chan was in charge of the naval battle on a warship in person!

  She has become obsessed with the feeling of being on the sea, which is a feeling of freedom, unrestrained, and the sky and sea are vast!

  The number of warships on Jiang Chan’s side is only about 500, which is less than two years ago.

   This is not a decline in the strength of Jimo City’s navy, on the contrary, it is still a huge improvement!

  Because two years ago, 90% of the boats were actually small fishing boats, which had no combat capability except for transporting people!

  Now these 500 ships are all warships, even the smallest ships are about the same size as Tian E’s large-winged ships! And more flexible and stronger!

  …

  Tian E’s navy general took a deep breath when he saw the enemy’s warship.

  There are huge wooden boats on the sea, and they are far better than their own in terms of size, design, and speed.

  He already had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still shouted loudly: “Beat the drum, let’s fight!”

   “Boom! Boom! Boom!” As the drums sounded, the water army began to fight!

   “Fire!” Jiang Chan waved the command flag and let the warship fire!

  The opponent’s warship also installed artillery, shooting each other across the water!

  At this time, the range and hit rate of the artillery are not high, and it often takes more than a dozen shells to hit once.

   Soon, Tian E’s navy general discovered that something was wrong!

   It seems that I am the only one being beaten, and the opponent’s ship is rarely hit by shells!

  The key factor causing all this is the speed of the ship!

  The opponent’s warship, I don’t know how to make it, it is so big, but its speed is several times faster than theirs!

  In a naval battle, when the difference in firepower is not large, the speed of the ship is definitely the key factor that determines the outcome!

  Relying on high maneuverability, the opponent’s warships dodge, outflank, and attack with ease!

   And on their side, they can only be beaten!

   Even relying on the strength of the ship and guns, the opponent sailed directly to hit him! Their smaller warships can’t hold it at all, they will be hit and sunk directly!

   “Retreat, retreat!” The general knew that this battle was impossible to fight!

  If you are on land, you can also use various tactics and military formations to contend.

   And on the sea, warships are everything! It is difficult to display one’s personal cultivation strength, even if one or two holy realms appear at this time, it will not be able to turn the tide of the battle!

   “Catch me up and wipe out the enemy!” Jiang Chan yelled, the hearty feeling of victory made her whole body feel refreshed!

  Compared to that, when he was a puppet king and was under house arrest in the palace before, that was not a human life at all!

  【Relying on the advantage of warships, Jiang Chan’s navy wiped out the local navy, captured a large number of warships, and captured thousands of sailors. 】

  …

   “General, we have lost at sea!” It was already evening, and Tian E was still attacking the city, but a piece of bad news made his face change drastically.

   “What’s going on?” he asked the messenger.

  The messenger looked embarrassed and said, “Our sailors are completely wiped out!”

   “What!” Tian E clutched his chest, and almost lost his breath!

  The construction of the navy has cost them countless efforts and energy. It is very expensive to build the sailors these years. For this navy, Tian Heng emptied the national treasury!

   Now, after only a few hours of fighting, this army has been wiped out!

  How could he go back and report to Tian Heng? How to fight this battle?

   “General, are you okay?” The subordinate hurriedly supported Tian E.

   “I’m fine!” Tian E stabilized his mind and said, “Hurry up and withdraw our troops, this battle is not good, and if we continue to fight, we will only lose our troops.”

“yes!”

  …

  【Tian E’s army began to retreat. 】

  Zhang Beichen also got the news at this time.

   “Send the order, go out of the city to pursue it!” Zhang Beichen asked the soldiers to go out of the city to pursue it, and at the same time asked the messenger to pass the message to Jiang Chan.

   “Your Majesty, please lead the warships, enter the inland from the waterway, go to the Huaihe River, and outflank Tian E’s back!”

   “Yes!” The messenger immediately wrote a letter and wrapped it around the specially trained carrier pigeon.

   Soon, Jiang Chan received a message from Zhang Beichen and ordered the warship to head for the Huaihe River along the waterway.

  …

   Tian E withdrew his troops all the way, Zhang Beichen pursued them all the way, Tian E lost a lot of troops in the process of evacuation.

   “This Beichen is really hateful!” Tian E gritted his teeth. As a well-known general in the world, he has never fought such an aggrieved battle!

   It has always been him who wins the more with the less, and the stronger with the weak!

   And now, he has become the backdrop for others to defeat the strong with the weak!

   “Pass down the order, throw away your helmet and armor, and show the enemy that you are weak!” Tian E carefully observed the terrain, as long as he crossed the Huai River, there would be armored soldiers from Qi State behind him.

  Now paralyze Zhang Beichen, wait for Zhang Beichen to cross the river halfway, and launch a surprise attack directly, then he can turn defeat into victory and return to Jimo City again!

  …

   “My lord, the enemy has thrown away their helmets and armor, and they are already defeated!” The scouts discovered the situation and reported the good news to Zhang Beichen.

   “Drop your helmet and abandon your armor? Huh!” Zhang Beichen didn’t believe it at all. If it was another general, it would be fine. Tian E should not make such a mistake!

   “The Huaihe River is ahead, crossing the Huaihe River is the territory of Qi State, there must be an ambush!” Zhang Beichen analyzed.

   “Then shall we continue to chase?” the lieutenant general asked.

   “Where is the king now?” Zhang Beichen asked the messenger.

  The messenger said: “Your Majesty still has one more day to arrive here.”

   “Okay, control the marching speed, join the king’s warship in a day’s time, and defeat Tian E!” Zhang Beichen said.

  …

  The two armies finally arrived at the Huaihe ferry.

   “Cross the river!” Tian E ordered, he looked at the rear, the smoke and dust billowed behind him, Zhang Beichen was still leading the army in pursuit.

   “As long as he crosses the river, crossbows and cannons have already been deployed on the other side of the Huaihe River! His entire army will definitely be wiped out!” Tian E waited for the enemy to jump into the trap!

  Zhang Beichen had led his troops to chase to the shore. At this time, Tian E specially ordered some small fishing boats to be left behind for him to snatch, so that he could cross the river and pursue them.

  Zhang Beichen did what he wanted, and he was chased by small fishing boats.

   “Haha, Zhang Beichen is nothing more than that, and I, Tian E, will win this battle!” Tian E couldn’t help laughing.

  However, he only laughed a few times before being interrupted by his subordinates.

   “General, there seems to be a warship in the distance!”

  Tian Ewang looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw densely packed warships approaching quickly.

   “What’s going on? Where did the warship come from?” Tian E asked in surprise.

  People around couldn’t answer, Tian E saw Jiang Chan’s flag on the warship before reacting, “This is the water army of Jimo City!”

   “Why so fast?” It’s not that Tian E has never calculated the march of the navy, but according to his calculations, even if the enemy starts from the port of Jimo City and pursues by water, it will take at least half a month to arrive at night!

   Now that the enemy appears here, it can only explain one thing, the speed of the enemy’s warship is several times faster than what I calculated!

   “Why? Their ships are so big, and they can sail so fast?” Tian E couldn’t figure it out. So far, they haven’t obtained an enemy’s warship, so naturally they don’t know the strength of the opponent’s ships!

   “Hurry up, hurry up and cross the river, let the other side cover!” Tian E hastily ordered, at this time he didn’t want to ambush, he just wanted to keep this army!

  However, Jiang Chan didn’t give him this chance at all, she ordered all the boats to speed up!

  These warships have a wheel design, and in the cabin, the sailors pedal hard to speed up!

  【The warship led by Jiang Chan stopped Tian E’s soldiers crossing the river, and started a big battle on the surface of the Huaihe River. Tian E’s infantry had no ability to fight on the water, and they were so beaten that they had no strength to fight back. 】

  【Tian E died in battle, tens of thousands of soldiers surrendered. 】

  …

   “Great victory! Haha, this king finally let out a breath of anger!” Back in Jimo City, Jiang Chan was still very excited, and held a bonfire party by the beach to celebrate with Zhang Beichen.

  Winning this time, Qi State lost a lot of troops, and was unable to go to Jimo City for ten years.

   On the contrary, it was her who took down many cities in the Qi country this time, and now divides the Qi country into two with the Huai River as the boundary.

   “Congratulations to the king, the king’s restoration of the country is close at hand!” Zhang Beichen raised his glass to celebrate.

  Jiang Chan was not very good at drinking before, but after living at sea for these years, she is also used to drinking from a big glass.

   “Cheers!” Jiang Chan held up the wine glass, clinked glasses with Zhang Beichen vigorously, and drank it down in one gulp!

   “Congratulations, Your Majesty!” Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, and they danced around the bonfire.

   This feeling made Jiang Chan extremely happy. She thought of the banquet held in the palace before, and the courtiers were hypocritical and said some high-sounding words, and she couldn’t help herself.

  Now, everyone is together, singing and dancing, without the pressure of identity, and without hypocrisy, how happy!

  Jiang Chan looked at Zhang Beichen beside him. He was also smiling, handsome and hearty.

   “If it weren’t for Zhang Beichen, even if I lived another lifetime, I probably wouldn’t know that life would be so comfortable and happy, right?” Jiang Chan thought.

  This man seems to have an inexplicable charm, every day with him is full of freshness and anticipation!

  At this moment, Jiang Chan finally understood why the other queens liked Zhang Beichen so much. Not only marry him and have children in the simulation. Even in real time and space, they have no scruples and appoint him as prime minister one after another!

   Such a person, as long as conditions permit, Jiang Chan is also willing to let him be her close assistant, and even share the country!

   “Zhang Beichen!” Jiang Chan suddenly shouted.

  Zhang Beichen turned his head and looked at Jiang Chan.

At this time, Jiang Chan’s little face turned red after drinking, and the blush wine exuded fragrance on her face. In the sky, there were stars twinkling, and the moonlight shone on the sea, sparkling, and the slightly drunk sea breeze fascinated everyone. , and people’s laughter!

   “Zhang Beichen, this king likes you!” Jiang Chan shouted suddenly, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then cheered.

  Here is no more than a palace, the sea life makes people have a good personality, not sticking to the details!
