As expected, Shi Lang did not disappoint Ouyang Shuo.
4th month, 27th day, Shi Lang led the 1st, 2nd and 3rd divisions of the Jiaozhou Squadron, the 5th division of the Beihai Bay Squadron, and the 1st division of the Yashan Bay Squadron, a total of 100 thousand people, and set off toward Annan.
For this trip, the Shanhai City navy went all out. Under the precise and flexible leadership of Shi Lang, they launched relentless assaults on the Annnan Navy.
The Annan Alliance Navy, who had come over for revenge, spent less than four days parading and showing off their strength in Beihai Bay before they were crushed.
Be it warships, equipment, or general standards, they were at two different levels. The number of Annan sailors were not at a huge advantage in front of the 100 thousand Shanhai City ones.
Defeat was as expected, and the Annan navy retreated.
Following Ouyang Shuo's instructions, Shi Lang led the troops to chase the enemy.
In just two days, 50 thousand of them had died and 70 thousand were captured. The remaining 20 thousand were in a bad state, as they pulled themselves back to shore. 400 warships had sunken into the ocean, never to reappear again.
After this battle, the Annan Navy would not be able to form up a decent-sized squadron again.
Capturing 70 thousand odd sailors provided precious troops for the expansion of the Nanyang Navy. NPCs were not extreme patriots, so when they were captured, it was easy for them to switch sides.
If not, it would not be worth it for a Lord to spend so much effort in starting a country war, losing men and resources. If they only got a bunch of prisoners that needed a long time to change their mindset, wouldn't it be not worth?
The game only lasted for 10 years, and it did not allow for such time to brainwash them.
Hence, Gaia had such a simple setting. Similarly, the mindsets of the five thousand guards in Lion City, and the previous natives of Singapore changed, and they were going to lead a new life.
...
4th month, 29th day, Shi Lang led the navy, going along the Annan coastline and patrolling it from north to south. When they saw ports, they would immediately stop and blow apart the ports and shipyards.
The hundreds of thousands of Annan players were furious at the brutality of the enemy, but there was nothing that they could do. They could only watch on as their ports were destroyed, as they looked in fear at the departing enemy.
The entire country was in silence.
This day was termed by Annan as the humiliation day.
5th month, 3rd day, Shi Lang led his troops through the west and middle Spratly Islands to warn the nearby Luzon.
When the Luzon navy heard the news about the Annan Navy's defeat, they ran without fighting.
Strong Navy!
This battle basically cemented the position of Shanhai City as the king of the seas. In a short time, no one could challenge their crown. The entire Nanyang was their back ocean, and if other squadrons wanted to appear, they would have to think twice.
When this news spread back to China, everyone felt their blood boil.
His acts not only showed the strength of Shanhai City, it also brought honor to the Chinese.
Even Di Chen and the other Lords were shocked. Only now did they realize that the mysterious navy hidden by Shanhai City was actually so powerful and on such a large scale.
It was obvious that their previous evaluations of Shanhai City were far from enough. After all, behind their strong army was an equally strong navy.
On the other side, Xiong Ba, Zhan Lang, and the other Lords near the ocean realized the importance of navy warfare. Without hesitating, they decided to model after Shanhai City and develop their navy.
All of a sudden, the bookings and orders for ships in Shanhai city's shipyards were filled up. The shipbuilding industry welcomed a golden age.
The entire country seafaring time that Ouyang Shuo had looked forward to and was planning had slowly arrived.
...
The charm of the country war hooked all the players. The number of requests for Shanhai City to open up Xingzhou Prefecture grew larger by the day. Numerous players rushed to Shanhai City to say that they were willing to fight for their country.
”Kill those Java monkeys!” Amongst these cries, the shouts at Java were the loudest, showing their disdain for these enemies.
Under Ouyang Shuo's instructions, Song Jia came out to explain.
”The situation there is still not settled, and it is still really nervous times. The Lianzhou Lord is already going all out. When the time is right, Lion City will be opened to players.” Song Jia promised.
”When will the time be right? Can you give us an answer?” someone asked.
”Within a month.” Song Jia replied.
”Good, we will wait!”
Only after getting a satisfactory reply did the players leave.
Any country would have many warriors with a strong desire to fight.
