Chapter 1504: The Qin Family (10)

"Alas, if I have dozens of such warships, I will definitely be able to conquer this sea area, and I don't know how the Qin family has such a huge warship, even the Freedom Alliance Navy does not have such a warship. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Huh? Wait, those battleships seem to have been modified from the Helmet Joe-class merchant ships, so isn't the Freedom Alliance Navy a real warship of this class? But why have you never seen it? Did they all send these warships to the Far East? ”

Liu Ming, who suddenly thought of this, broke out in a cold sweat, and he still wanted to lead the fleet to the Far East, according to the current guess of the hidden power of the Free Alliance Navy, I am afraid that the Free Alliance Navy would be completely wiped out just after bypassing the Southeast Peninsula, and after understanding this, even a strong-minded person like Liu Ming couldn't help but be disheartened for a while.

"Admiral! The enemy ships are fast and will approach us in an hour! A lookout suddenly shouted.

Liu Ming couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he left for several hours before it was dawn, how long has it been now, and he actually caught up all of a sudden?

But it doesn't matter, I won't let you catch up, although your warships can be good, but in this sea, I still have this confidence!

"Command, turn the rudder left, and sail."

A series of commands, with the cooperation of the elite sailors, the sails were retracted and opened, and after a while, the speed of Liu Ming's flagship was inexplicably much faster, and the other warships behind him also quickly followed as if they were stimulated.

Oak, who was looking from afar, couldn't help but say with his eyes shining: "Not only is the commander powerful, but even the sailors under him are all elites, if we can recruit them collectively, then the strength of our Qin family's navy will definitely be able to multiply several times." ”

"It's better to wait until you recruit them, you can't catch up with them now, it's useless to say this." Kaihai pouted

"Hehe, didn't you notice? We couldn't catch up with them, but we blocked their route back to land. Oaked laughed.

"Well, I can already see that when they are about to go around the land, you will stop in front of them in advance, what are you doing with this?

"If we force them back into the port, even if their port defenses are good, with the power of our salvo, it will be enough to destroy them easily."

"Destroy them easily? Don't think about it, although they are not popular with the other fleets of the Empire, if we start a war around the door of the people's house, the other fleets will definitely not sit idly by, we are not the Freedom Alliance Navy, and they can be scared to leave the port. Oaked sighed.

"Huh? So how do you defeat them? ”

Kaihai was puzzled, according to the situation, there was no way to force the other party to surrender, why did this kid look confident?

"Hehe, it's very simple, our twenty warships were loaded with supplies before they set sail, and they were temporarily replenished before the attack." Oaked said with a smile.

"What are you talking about? Don't I know? ”

Kaihai said angrily, since the last time he tugged at Oakde's sleeve to vent, Kaihai hadn't maintained a respectful demeanor with him, but he felt much closer to him.

"How many more days will we be able to sustain food and fresh water?" Oaked suddenly burst out of nowhere.

"It can still last for nearly twenty days, if this warship is full of supplies, it can sail continuously for about a month, this is what you told me." Kaihai said casually.

"Then they have more people than us, their boats are smaller than ours, and how many days can their food and fresh water last?" Oakde's words left Kaihai speechless in shock.

Oaked said helplessly: "Don't look at me like this, I also know that it is very humiliating to fight a naval battle to destroy enemy ships by relying on food and fresh water, but only in this way can I force them down." ”

"I'm afraid they'll not accept it." Kaihai said hesitantly.

"There is no dissatisfaction, this is also a means of warfare, and as long as the other party surrenders, then I am not afraid that they will regret it. The command power can be given to him, but the right to personnel and supply must be taken into his hands. Oaked gritted his teeth.

Kaihai nodded, this is also a solution, but it is just too embarrassing.

As time passed, the days of Liu Ming's fleet were sad day by day, and they were chased by people with no way into the sea, although the other party could not catch up, but they were able to intercept their own routes to the mainland.

You may say why don't you try your best? Maybe there will be a turnaround.

It's a pity that under the absolute gap, unless you want to commit suicide, you will never be able to fight them head-on, even a fool will not do this, because according to the power of that salvo, I am afraid that it will be completely destroyed before it gets close, and the other party is only a little injured.

This is also the reason why Liu Ming is willing to flee in humiliation.

"Admiral, we only have ten buckets of fresh water left in our entire fleet, and we have run out of food."

An adjutant with dry lips reported to Liu Mingyu with a gloomy expression. If it weren't for Liu Ming taking the lead and not drinking water, I'm afraid the sailors below would have lost their fighting spirit a long time ago.

Looking at the empty look in the eyes of his subordinates, Liu Ming sighed, but the two sides are not on the same starting line, it is really a crime of non-war.

Liu Ming, who had made up his mind, waved his hand and said, "Stop the boat, white flag." ”

The adjutant and others were shocked, and this surrendered? I wanted to dissuade him, but I felt a thirsty throat, so I could only sigh and give orders.

Seeing the white flag, everyone in the Third Fleet breathed a sigh of relief, this naval battle was really not done by people, the other side relied on the huge salvo power, coupled with the speed of the ship, the cat chased these people like a mouse for more than ten days!

I don't know what they are doing with such a big ship, the carrying capacity of twenty ships alone far exceeds the carrying capacity of their entire fleet. Completely relying on death of thirst to solve oneself, what kind of naval battle is this.

Although the members of the Third Fleet are very angry, but how can they defeat you by this? The king is defeated, what can he do if he is not convinced?

Seeing the Third Fleet stop and hoist the white flag, Oaked and Kaihai were both happy in their hearts, okay, they reluctantly chased for so many days, and finally let the other party succumb. However, although Oakd was excited, he was not careless, first put the other warships on guard from a distance, and then led people to board Liu Ming's flagship in a small boat.

The two sides stood on the deck and confronted each other, Oaked's side was very satisfied with Liu Ming, and his appearance and demeanor were in line with the impression in his mind, but Liu Ming's side frowned, Oak gave people the feeling that he was too young, and he was forced to surrender with food and fresh water, so it was strange that he could feel comfortable.

Liu Ming knew that he was going to set an example for the general of the defeated army, but his expression remained unchanged, he sighed in his heart, stood upright, and said in a flat tone: "Admiral of the Third Fleet of the Augustus Empire, Rear Admiral - Liu Ming." As he spoke, he prepared to unsheath his sword.

Oaked waved his hand and smiled, "Not busy." Then Lian became serious, and he was also upright: "The chief of the Qin family's navy - the general of the department, Oakde." ”

Hearing that Oaked was the commander-in-chief of the Qin family's navy, Liu Ming was stunned at first, and then Lian slowed down, changing to the empire's side, that is, the commander of the navy, it was not a shame to surrender to him.

Kaihai is eager to try, and he also wants to sign up for the enemy at this glorious moment, but thinking that he is a naval commander, he feels like a dwarf.

And he was pressed and beaten by Liu Ming's Third Fleet, not like Oak who kept chasing, and if he said his name, he was afraid that he would be laughed at by these defeated troops, so his face would be embarrassed, so he should not come out.

Thinking of this, he hid behind without saying a word.

Liu Ming found that Oaked didn't accept his sword, and couldn't help frowning and said, "What? Is Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief unwilling to accept my surrender? ”

"Hehe, Your Excellency Rear Admiral, to be honest, my command ability is not as good as yours, but I have the upper hand with the help of warships. So don't say the word surrender. Oaked laughed.

When the other officers of the Third Fleet heard this, they felt that this Qin family's naval chief was speaking truthfully, and they were comfortable listening to it, and the humiliation not long ago had also dissipated a lot.

Liu Ming didn't feel this way, because he knew what Oakde meant by this, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "I'm sorry, your army can capture us, and we are willing to pay a ransom, so as for the rest, please forgive me for not being able to agree." ”

Oaked raised his eyebrows, this guy is smart, but he smiled indifferently: "I don't know what His Excellency the Major General thinks of the warlord division of the Augustus Empire?" ”

Before Liu Ming could speak, his adjutant couldn't help but say with a cold face: "What do you mean by this, Your Excellency? Ironic of our empire? The southeastern peninsula where your lord is located is probably more chaotic than the empire at this moment, right? Moreover, the empire has existed for nearly a thousand years, and the Southeast Peninsula may never have been glorious, right? ”

"No, no, your Excellency misunderstood, I didn't mean to underestimate the Empire, let alone be sarcastic. Actually, I'm also a native of the Empire. Oaked laughed.

These words immediately calmed down the officers with angry faces, and told Oaked that he was from the Empire, and everyone didn't pay much attention.

In recent years, there have been many people living in the empire who have gone to foreign countries to take root and develop, and there are also many foreigners who have come to the empire to establish their foundations.

If you really want to talk about blood, the empire that was formed by annexing I don't know how many nationalities was formed, and its people don't have a single ethnic lineage at all, it's all messy, it's all you and me, and I have you, so the empire is used to not caring about the nation but about the country.
