Faced with this sudden artillery bombardment, the Vietnamese merchant ships were caught off guard. Amid the roar, three of the Vietnamese merchant ships were immediately blown apart and sank, and the rest were all hit and began to capsize on the sea.
Everyone was stunned and didn't know what was going on.
The merchants and sailors of Yue State fled from the ship frantically, but they didn't know where to go. The surrounding ships didn't dare to pick up the people, and most of the merchants and sailors of Yue State were exhausted and fell to the sea. There were already countless sea creatures on the sea that went crazy. In a short while, only a few people of Yue State escaped, and most of them were buried in the sea, including those ships.
After that, Vietnamese merchant ships continued to appear, and some even wanted to bypass them, but they were all discovered and then sunk by planes.
Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky on the sea that had been calm for a long time. Many people who saw a brand new war for the first time were stunned; especially when they saw the Shang Dynasty warships ruthlessly sinking the merchant ships of Yue one after another, many people trembled and felt the same way.
In the rear, the huge fleet of Yue State, which had just left the port, also received news from the front.
The Yue naval commander Le Quxin, who was in charge of this fleet, had a pale face. He had just decided to support the Five Elements Divine Court, and the Shang Dynasty had responded. However, Le Quxin quickly put these useless information behind him. The most urgent task now was how to deal with the current predicament.
The Shang Dynasty's southward-bound fleet suddenly sent out an aircraft carrier formation to intercept it. Moreover, this aircraft carrier formation was not far from the southern coastline of Yue State. In addition, the Shang Dynasty also had aircraft patrols, making it difficult for Yue State's fleet to hide.
Le Quxin immediately contacted the Emperor of Yue to inquire about the situation, and the fleet, of course, temporarily stopped advancing.
But soon Le Quxin received an order from the emperor: "The Shang Dynasty is not necessarily that scary. Since the Shang Dynasty launched a war without declaring war, our Yue Kingdom is not a weakling. Fight! Let's have a direct battle and see how strong the Shang Dynasty's fleet is!"
After so many years of development, the Emperor of Yue actually had a kind of ambition deep in his heart, which was to test how strong the Shang Dynasty was. The reason why the Emperor of Yue agreed to the alliance of the Five Elements Spirit Realm this time was that he had a different kind of excitement and eagerness in his heart - to wrestle with the Shang Dynasty!
At this moment, the Shang Dynasty actually took the initiative to intercept, and the first thought of the Emperor of Yue was to fight! I want to see how strong this Shang Dynasty is!
The current Yue Kingdom has a land area of more than 30,000 miles, which is larger than the area of the Shang Dynasty. In the past, it was invincible, with a large number of elite troops accumulated in the country, and unprecedentedly prosperous industrial technology. Therefore, the Yue Kingdom did not want to continue to be a younger brother. Now, it finally found an excuse to fight with the Shang Dynasty.
Le Quxin took a deep breath and gave an order, and the fleet continued to move south. However, the transport ships followed behind for the time being, while the warships sailed quickly in front.
Yue State prepared more than 200 warships this time. Before setting off, Yue State had thought that the Five Elements Spirit Realm and the Five Elements Divine Court were in the center of Haozhou, and Yue State would have to go to war to deliver supplies to the Five Elements Divine Court. Therefore, the fleet was huge, and there were many land forces above.
More than 200 warships of the Yue Kingdom formed an arrow shape, and headed southwards, heading straight for the Shang Dynasty's aircraft carrier formation. Many merchant ships and masters from other countries around immediately became interested. The East of Yingzhou, the now recognized first and second strongest countries, were going to fight!
