Blindly believing in science is no different from ignorance.

- Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy (one of the most outstanding writers in the history of world literature)

Brent relied on his three triremes and two twinships to resist the siege of dozens of warships of all kinds by the Hamao navy, and Catrou's second and Griffin's third fleets had not yet arrived, but he was almost unable to hold on.

The general of the Hamao Navy, wearing black armor, sat on the deck of the Anzhai warship, shaking a snow-white feather fan in his hand, and ordered a general on the side with a faint smile on his face: "Pass the order, don't wait any longer, and completely annihilate the enemy fleet as soon as possible." ”

"Hey!" the general of the Yumao Navy immediately took the order to leave.

"General. Another general on the deck asked the captain who was seated, "Didn't you say before that you would first surround this fleet, which might be an ally of the Ito Navy and lead the Ito Navy to take the initiative, why do you want to annihilate this fleet as soon as possible now?"

The fleet admiral, who did not give a positive answer, asked him rhetorically: "Xiaoshan-kun, what do you think of the combat power of this fleet in front of us?"

"This ...... It's very powerful!" After a moment of hesitation, Xiaoshan said truthfully: "I have been fighting at sea for more than twenty years, and I have never seen such a strangely shaped warship, but I have to admit that the combat power of these strange warships is far superior to that of our Guan Ship and Xiao Zao. ”

"Xiaoshan-kun, you are too tactful. Nan Yunzhong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The combat power of these strange warships is far superior to our Guan Ship and Xiao Zao, they are obviously crushing our Guan Ship and Xiao Zao!"

"General, no matter how strong the enemy is, the victory is still ours, isn't it?" said Kazuma Koyama with a confident expression.

"I hope so. After a long sigh, Nan Yunzhong muttered softly, "I hope our enemies only have these eight warships." ”

At this moment, the decisive battle between the two fleets on the sea had come to an end; Brent's first fleet, with two doubles and two three-columns, was sunk, and the two doubles and two three-columns that were still fighting to the death were also surrounded by enemy ships.

The price paid by the Hamao Navy fleet was also extremely heavy, with two of the six large ships participating in the battle sunk, five of the twelve ships sunk, seventeen of the fifty ships sank in the early battle, and almost all the warships that did not sink also suffered considerable damage.

At the cost of sinking two large ships and five ships, as well as seventeen small ships, he sank four enemy ships, such a disproportionate result inevitably cast a shadow over Nagumo Nagumo's heart, so he gave the order for a quick victory.

However, is this battle a quick battle that Nanyun can do as soon as he wants a quick victory? The red-eyed Brent and the barbarian warriors under his command no longer have much hope for reinforcements that have not arrived for a long time; what they are thinking about now is not how to escape from the encirclement, but how to kill a few more enemies and avenge their own death!

As Nagumo Nakaichi's order was conveyed, more and more of the Hamo Naval Army frantically flocked to the stagnant twin and triple battleships, and Brent, who was even in charge of the ship's sailors, had no extra strength to spare.

The fifth battleship of the First Fleet was a double-lined battleship that had been fighting alongside Brent's flagship, and until the last moment before it sank, the barbarian warriors and sailors on this battleship were still fighting the enemy with their weapons.

Twenty-nine sailors and forty-eight barbarian warriors sank with the ship, and more than 200 of the Hamo sailors who had not had time to evacuate the ship sank with the ship.

Even the barbarian warriors and sailors on an ordinary double-lined battleship had the courage to fight the enemy until the last moment, and Brent, as the commander of the fleet, naturally did not lack this courage, in fact, he was ready to lead his fleet to die here!

Since the birth of the city of Rome, although there has never been a systematic general who has been wiped out and killed on the battlefield, there has never been a systematic general who abandoned his robe and fled; on the premise that there is no third way to choose, Brent naturally chose the first way.

Although he was defeated, Brent decided to give the Yumao Navy a ruthless move before his own fleet was wiped out, so that the Yumao Navy, which won the victory by virtue of its numerical superiority, would always remember that the fleet of the Yanhuang family was the most powerful fleet of the Yamato Empire, and there was no one!

After stabbing the enemy soldier standing in front of him with a sword, Brent strode up to his flagship's standard-bearer, pulled him to his side, and roared, "Go and give the order at once, and let the ships be ready to detonate the fire oil on the ships!"

"No!" the standard-bearer, who knew that his fleet would not escape the fate of destruction, wiped the blood from his face and went to carry out the order.

In addition to Brent's flagship, a triremit and a twinship were still fighting, and the two captains saw the flagship's flagbearer's words, but there was no way to respond to their commander, because the flagbearer on the ship had been dead for a long time.

Not every flagbearer on a warship is as fortunate as the flagbearer on the flagship, and has survived the battle with the enemy, and the flagbearers who are proficient in the language of the flag are not good at fighting, and the tragic and abnormal battle is tantamount to hell for them.

However, these standard-bearers are not cowards who are afraid of war, and their combat skills are inferior to those of barbarian warriors and sailors, and they show a brave and fearless warrior spirit in the face of the crazy attack of the enemy Ashigaru, and fight the enemy until they die!

Not long after Brent's order was issued, the captain of the twin battleship, who was really unable to resist the swarming enemy Ashigaru, detonated the fire oil on their twin battleship, and the violent explosion directly engulfed the double battleship and the nearby enemy ships and Xiaozao.

A two-column battleship with only forty or fifty barbarian warriors and sailors on the ship, with two ships and eight ships and at least 500 enemy troops, died together, such a powerful scene made Nan Yunzhong, who was watching the battle from a distance, stunned.

Without waiting for the shocked Nan Yunzhong to react, the only remaining triremes battleship also detonated the fire oil on the battleship under the order of the captain, because there were more warships besieging this triremitt, and there was actually a large customs ship, two customs ships, and ten small mornings were killed together!

Nagumo Zhongyi, who lost one large ship, four ships, and eighteen ships in the morning, felt a faint pain in his chest in distress, and Brent, who witnessed the self-explosion of his battleship, gritted his teeth and killed the enemy even more desperately.

The first squadron's two successive battleships blew themselves up, causing the warships of the Hashige Navy that were close to Brent's flagship to involuntarily distance themselves from Brent's flagship; no matter how the generals behind them urged, the Ashigaru and sailors of the Hamo Navy did not dare to approach.

Looking at the few remaining soldiers and sailors around him, as well as the flames that could be seen everywhere on his flagship, Brent, who did not intend to leave here alive, ordered everyone on the ship to row the battleship towards the densest place of enemy ships before detonating the fire oil on his flagship!
