Chapter 572: Harvesting a lot
The Chen family's fleet withdrew in disarray.
Lu Xun did not order the pursuit. The ten scarred Qiankunlou ships were surrounded by a thick layer of wrecks that were still rising from black smoke, and even if they wanted to pursue, it was impossible, not to mention that the dragon cannons had run out, and there was no means of pursuit.
On the other side, ninety ships that were also scarred and smeared with black smoke were also unable to pursue, but according to Lu Xun's prior explanation, they set up empty shelves to surround the hundreds of Chen Jialou ships that had lost their main sails, cruising around, and showing off their might.
Similarly, among the more than 2,000 Chen family warships sent out to meet before, many of them were knocked off their sails and lost their power, just like the people who ate melons, sat and watched this sea battle in which the weak defeated the strong.
The Chen family's fleet withdrew, and these warships, which had lost power, could no longer make any waves. Wait until the ten Qiankunlou ships have opened a way out, and then go to the side of these warships in turn, and smoothly recruit the prisoners.
At this time, Lu Yao had already returned to the cabin and sat facing Lu Xun.
Lu Xun played quite well in this battle. What he thought was unreasonable before turned out to be just Lu Xun's careful layout, and finally pitted the Chen family's fleet unwanted.
If there is enough time to stock up on enough dragon cannonballs, in just one battle, thousands of ships can be captured, and tens of thousands of ships can be killed.
Lu Xun won the first battle and won a complete victory, but he was very excited at this time, and he couldn't sit still. If he hadn't been afraid of Lu Yao, a cheap father-in-law, he would have been impatient to show off.
"Good, very good." Lu Yao was not stingy, he praised it very much, but he couldn't make little Lu Xun happy.
He wasn't boasting.
Lu Xun was smart, and he knew how to learn it, and when he saw him use the various advantages of the dragon cannon to knock down the sails of the enemy ships, he immediately touched the bypass, and laid out this game in a short time.
"Report, our army has won a great victory."
Then the colonel hurriedly entered the cabin and reported the battle. Limited by the lack of production of dragon artillery, it failed to achieve the greatest results, but it also achieved a lot of gains.
In this battle, more than 700 building ships and more than 1,000 fighting ships were captured. Except for a few heavily damaged ships, they were basically burned off their sails, lost power and were captured.
Lu Yao was in a good mood.
This batch of captures alone can meet the first delivery of four orders from the Blood Duke. As long as it is pulled back to the hideaway dockyard for a little repair, it is a bright and dazzling brand new warship.
War is indeed the only way to make money.
Capture the ship from the enemy's side, repair it, and then sell it. Zero cost, high profit, don't want to earn. At the same time, it can also play a majestic role and establish an unrivaled image.
All that had to be paid was negligible casualties and the consumption of leading shells. This cost is negligible compared to profits.
Lu Yao immediately ordered the soldiers on the Chen family's warships to be dispersed to various warships to be detained and guarded. As for the player, kill it. In the virtual world, physical threats are useless.
Secondly, the sailors on their own ships were dispersed to the captured ships and were responsible for control. Fortunately, the super capacity of the Qiankun Lou ship brought enough troops, and the minimum configuration was barely arranged.
At the sound of an order, the Xanadu Water Master moved. The small ships frequently went back and forth between the warships, connecting the warships of both sides with thick hooks, and busily cutting off the burned masts to lighten the load of the warships and make it easier to haul.
After several hours of busyness, night fell, and everything was ready.
With the order of the flagship, a hundred scarred warships raised their full sails, dragging more than 1,700 warships with no masts to return to the dock of Xanadu City under the starry sky.
After a long voyage of several days, the sailor returned to the dock with a lucrative catch. Lu Yao led Lu Xun to the dock and immediately handed over to repair the loot as soon as possible. After all, it's all money.
After arranging all kinds of matters, Lu Yao had time to check the private messages.
In the past few days, the news of the disastrous defeat of the Chen family's fleet has spread like a plague. If it weren't for the fact that he was busy worrying about those gains, or that he was too troublesome to get it done in a group message, he didn't pay attention to the crazy flashing private messages.
"You cow." The hermit sent a private message of only two words, but it was followed by a row of worshipful expressions.
The hermit sent more than just such a private message. Lu Yao took a cursory glance, and it was basically the same, asking all kinds of questions around the dragon cannon that showed its might in this naval battle.
It's inconvenient to build this kind of big killer. How much does it cost, etc., and finally means that you just need to build dragon cannons, and we are not short of money or resources. We can provide everything, just sell it at the market price, and ask for as much as you want.
"Boss, I love you to death." The thief runs fast as always, willing to be a little fan girl, all kinds of worship.
Lu Yao directly skipped it, and the private messages of other people, such as I eat sweet potatoes, are not much different from the hermits, and they all said that they can take care of their own profits and losses, as long as they are willing to sell dragon cannons.
Just skip it.
Now that the resource system has not been opened for a long time, the dragon cannon has replaced the Divine Fire Crow as the biggest hole card in his hand. Until you stock up enough dragon cannons, they will definitely not be sold to the outside world.
On the other hand, the title of rebel has been taken away by Xu Shao. The debuff that reduces the chance of talent refresh is gone, relying on the population base of 400 million, talents in all aspects are just emerging, and it also takes time to accumulate. Otherwise, due to the lack of talents in craftsmen and other aspects, it will be embarrassing to delay the production of dragon cannons.
The remaining few private messages are worth intriguing.
"In the near future, I will rush to Zhuya Prefecture to receive the first batch of delivery ships." Black Widow is concise and to the point.
The private messages of the three Blood Dukes are also similar, saying that the first installment is about to be delivered, and we are ready to receive it in person, so as to show that our friendship is unbreakable.
Lu Yao shook his head and smiled.
The drunkard doesn't mean to drink.
It is no secret that the war in Huaxia is imminent, and the four of the Blood Dukes also returned after attending his wedding. Before leaving, the four of them vaguely said that the order could be slowed down, and everyone could understand.
Lu Yao was not surprised. After all, he is the best partner of the four. All four are utilitarians, but they also know how much a good ally can bring. Not to mention anything else, the Divine Fire Crow is the only one in Xanadu City.
However, now that a private message has suddenly been sent emphasizing that the time for the delivery of the warship is approaching, and even the time to come to receive it in person is obvious. It wasn't for that little warship, but when he learned that he had an extra dragon cannon in his hand that was sharper than the Divine Fire Crow, he immediately wanted to come over and place an order as soon as possible.
In terms of primitive naval artillery warfare alone, Lu Yao also had to admit that people in Europe were experts. After all, that's how people started their lives.
Lu Yao turned off the private message and pondered.
It is imperative to increase the production of dragon cannons, otherwise people will take the initiative to beg to be slaughtered, and how embarrassed it is to refuse.
