Chapter 1200 No worries about meat for the next year
The air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood, gunpowder, and the acrid stench of burning flesh.
Countless severed limbs and broken planks rose and fell with the turbulent river.
That scene was enough to drive any sane person insane on the spot.
On the cliff.
Yue Fei stared blankly at the human tragedy he had personally orchestrated.
There was not a trace of pity or reluctance in those calm, unwavering tiger eyes.
Only cold, machine-like absolute calmness.
Because he knew that being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to himself.
If he doesn't completely and cleanly wipe this invader who dares to challenge the might of the Great Qian Dynasty from this world today...
Then tomorrow, even more and more powerful invaders will swarm in!
At that time, everything that happened in the Humen Waterway today will be replayed on every inch of their Daqian land!
Therefore, he cannot stop.
His artillery fire must not stop!
"Pass on my order!" His voice was cold and resolute, devoid of any emotion. "All gun emplacements, fire at will!"
"No need to conserve ammunition!"
"Blast everything still moving and breathing on the river surface into dust!"
"I want to ensure that the fish in the Pearl River will never have to worry about not having enough meat for the next hundred years!"
"Yes!"
With Yue Fei's command, filled with boundless killing intent!
On both sides of Humen, hundreds of Shenji Battalion cannons once again unleashed a deafening roar of death!
A new, more intense, and more frenzied barrage of steel bullets rained down from the sky!
The river, which had already turned into a sea of fire, was transformed into a true death zone!
This inhumane, one-sided massacre lasted for a full hour.
Until no more intact enemy ships could be seen on the river.
No more screams or wails from the enemy could be heard.
Yue Fei slowly raised his right hand, which was already blackened by the smoke of gunpowder.
"Ceasefire."
He uttered two words calmly.
The deafening roar of artillery fire abruptly ceased.
The whole world seemed to fall silent in that instant.
All that remained was the crackling sound of the raging fire.
And the countless wronged souls weeping silently above the river.
An epic victory, worthy of being recorded in the annals of world naval warfare.
A textbook example of a classic ambush battle where the few defeated the many and the weak triumphed over the strong.
—The Battle of Humen.
And so, under Yue Fei's almost ruthless and iron-fisted command, the bloody curtain fell.
The East India Company's expeditionary fleet of more than fifty ships of various types was completely annihilated!
More than 20,000 elite soldiers, none survived!
As for the Daqian side, in addition to the losses of several patrol boats and hundreds of naval officers and soldiers due to the early surprise attack, they also suffered losses.
Almost zero casualties!
This was a complete and utter victory!
A glorious victory that will make the whole world tremble!
When this earth-shattering news, enough to drive any Great Qian citizen mad, reached Chang'an at the fastest speed imaginable.
The entire capital city instantly erupted in excitement!
All the people spontaneously poured into the streets!
They beat drums and gongs, set off firecrackers, and sang and danced!
The celebration was even more enthusiastic and frenzied than the last time they welcomed His Majesty and the Prince's wedding!
"We win! We win!"
"General Yue is mighty! The Divine Machine Battalion is mighty! The Great Qian Dynasty is mighty!"
"Hahaha! Let those barbarian bastards taste the might of our Great Qian!"
"Let's see if they dare to cause trouble in our doorstep again!"
The entire city of Chang'an was immersed in an immense, indescribable sense of national pride and ecstasy!
Inside the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace.
The atmosphere was also extremely enthusiastic.
When Murong Yan read aloud Yue Fei's victory report, filled with glorious battle results, in front of the entire court,
All the officials were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, their faces flushed and their hands and feet dancing with joy!
"Your Majesty is wise! Your Highness is mighty!"
"This battle is an unprecedented and unparalleled victory since the founding of our Great Qian Dynasty!"
"After this battle, the might of our Great Qian Dynasty will surely spread far and wide! All nations will come to pay homage! It will be just around the corner!"
Zhou Xing, the Minister of Revenue, was so excited that he hugged Li Ge, the Minister of Works, who was beside him, and laughed and cried at the same time.
"Old Li! Did you hear that? We won! We won!"
"Those cannons we built with mountains of gold and silver weren't built in vain!"
"Hahaha! Worth it! It's fucking worth it!"
Li Ge was also moved to tears, nodding repeatedly.
These were the old ministers who had devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the rise of the Great Qian Dynasty.
At this moment, all the effort and hard work have been rewarded in the most perfect and glorious way!
Murong Yan looked at the prince's faces, which were somewhat out of control due to excitement and ecstasy.
A genuine smile of relief finally appeared on that pretty face that had been cold and tense because of Lin Zhen's coma.
She knew that the significance of this victory went far beyond a simple military triumph.
It completely shattered the arrogance of the Western colonizers.
It also thoroughly demonstrated the confidence and fighting spirit of their Great Qian nation!
From this day forward, this sleeping lion of the East, which has been dormant for thousands of years, will be baptized by the fire and cannon fire from the sea.
Awaken completely!
Then, in a brand new form that makes the whole world tremble.
To stand tall once again among the nations of the world!
At this moment, she was still wearing the Phoenix Descent Dress, which served as her only nightgown.
The extremely dark black Suzhou brocade base material, in the Taiji Hall filled with the atmosphere of victory and joy, seemed to transform into a vast starry sky that could encompass the entire world.
The giant phoenix embroidered with real gold thread seemed to be about to spread its wings and soar into the sky from the starry sky!
An unprecedented golden light, brimming with pride and glory, burst forth from his phoenix eyes!
The five-zhang-long dark gold Suzhou brocade trail stretched from behind the high phoenix throne all the way down to the imperial steps, like a broad road paved with victory and glory leading to the top of the world!
That luxurious disorder, at this moment, is no longer lazy, but an unparalleled domineering aura that reigns supreme over the world!
However, at this glorious moment when the emperor and his ministers were enjoying themselves and the whole country was celebrating,
A shocking piece of bad news that no one could have predicted.
But suddenly it came back from the distant Western Regions.
"Report——"
While the Taiji Hall was still immersed in a victorious celebration.
A shrill scream filled with panic and fear suddenly came from outside the hall!
