"Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Soldiers Approached the Port"

Strange to say, this kind of admitting one's meanness is painful, but at the same time it makes people happy and reassured.

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

He also rushed to the enemy ship with his damaged battleship, although Brent was not as full of grief and anger as Deng Shichang, but he had better luck than Deng Shichang; the rockets fired by the archers of countless enemy ships did not affect the speed of Brent's flagship in the slightest, even if the flagship was already on fire, the sturdy triremes battleship was still rushing towards the enemy ship at high speed.

The panicked enemy ship tried to quickly dodge, but the result was that the large ship crashed into the ship, and the ship collided with Kozao, who in turn collided with Kozao; before Brent's flagship could rush over, several small ships with sturdy hulls were rammed and sunk by friendly warships.

In the face of the crisis of life and death, the unbearable performance of the Yumao Navy not only made Nan Yunzhong in the rear look pale, but also made the flagship of the First Fleet, which rushed up with all its might, achieve the greatest results; with a violent explosion, the three-column battleship with the most oil was swallowed up by the flames together with one large Guan ship, two Guan ships, and nine Xiao Zao of the Yu Mao Navy Army.

At this point, the First Detachment of the First Roman Fleet, consisting of four double-lined battleships and four three-lined battleships, was completely destroyed, and the main fleet of the Hamao Navy paid the price of four large ships, eleven ships, and forty-four small ships.

The crux of the matter is that the main fleet of the Hamo Navy is composed of one Ataku warship, six large ships, twelve ships, and fifty Xiaozao, and now excluding the sunken ships, there are only ten warships left in Nanyunzhong's hand!

Sixty-nine warships of all kinds swayed in battle, fifty-nine were sunk in the First World War, and Nagumo Nakaichi's face could no longer be described as Tie Qing; as the most trusted naval general of the Honma family, Nagumo Nakuichi felt for the first time that he had failed the trust of the Governor.

Nagumo knew better than anyone that the Honma family's Hamo Naval Army under the control of the Honma family was the pillar of the Honma family's rule over Hamo County, and now that the Hamo Naval Army had been hit hard and its remaining strength was less than one-fifth of its peak, how could it maintain the Honma family's rule in Hamo Prefecture?

Of course, this is not what Nagumo Chuichi is most worried about, because the sunken warship can be rebuilt, and the dead Ashigaru can also be recruited and trained again, as long as the Honma family has enough time to recuperate, it is only a matter of time before the original strength is restored.

What really worries Nagumo Chuichi is what kind of foreign aid did the Ito family find that gave them the confidence to take the initiative to attack the Honma family? You know, these enemy ships that blew themselves up just now are strange warships that Nagumo has never seen or heard of.

In addition, the title of the wise general of the First Navy Army, Ito Yuu Henzoto, the governor of the Ito family, was not boasted by himself, but won by real achievements, otherwise, how could Kengo Honma hand over most of the warships of the Hamo Navy to Nagumo Chuichi?

Nagumo Nakaichi, who originally planned to use his superiority in the quantity and quality of his warships to directly crush the Ito naval army, suffered heavy losses in order to annihilate the first fleet, and his remaining warships were no longer the opponents of the Ito naval army; he had no choice but to retreat to the port of Hamo with the fleet.

When Catroux's Second Fleet and Griffin's Third Fleet arrived in the engaged waters, they saw not a fierce exchange between the two fleets, but broken planks and corpses floating across the sea, including the flags of the First Fleet.

Needless to say, the flag was in Rome's navy and army, and after sending someone to pick up the flag representing the First Fleet, Catroux and Griffin knew in their hearts that Brent and his First Fleet were probably completely wiped out.

However, it was not the style of the Roman navy to leave here, after all, there were still nearly two thousand of their robes, and in addition to sending a double battleship back to report the matter to Commander Nams, Catrou and Griffin stayed here and began to recover their robes.

All the corpses on the self-detonating battleship were completely devoured by the flames generated by the explosion, and even Brent, the commander of the First Fleet, had no bones left; as for the other soldiers who died in battle, many of them were devoured by the fish and beasts of the sea that smelled blood.

After the day-and-night salvage was over, the officers and men of the Second and Third Fleets had only recovered more than 1,100 corpses of the officers and men of the First Fleet.

The particularity of the system lies in the fact that every system soldier recruited by Bai Feng has a complete family in the city of Rome, which means that the death of every system soldier will make an ordinary family in the city of Rome no longer complete.

Not to mention the longbowmen that every Roman warship must have on board, these longbowmen specially trained by barbarian warriors, although they were not systematic soldiers who had a home in Rome, but they were also the pillars of the family who needed to support their families, and each of them represented a family.

The annihilated First Fleet consisted of four double-lined and four three-lined ships, totaling 800 system sailors and 1,000 longbowmen, all of whom would have lost 1,800 families in Rome in a single day.

The deceased has passed away, and the Doge's Palace will inevitably give all the soldiers of Rome who died in battle enough to give their families a worry-free life, which is what Bai Feng should do as a governor, and as the commander of the First Fleet, what Nams should do is to bring back the bodies of the dead soldiers.

Every time there is a land battle in Rome, the commander of the army can bring back the remains of all the dead soldiers without falling, but naval battles are different from land battles, unless the naval battle is a great victory for one side without sinking, it is absolutely impossible to bring back the remains of all the dead soldiers.

Because the battleship could not store a large number of dead soldiers' remains, Catroux and Griffin deliberately emptied their space rings, and then stored some of the remains of the dead soldiers in the space rings;

Nams, who learned the news that the First Fleet had completely destroyed Brent and died in battle, did not fall into a rage, nor did he say anything cruel about blood debts and blood repayment, but with a calm face, he immediately invited Wendell and made an appointment with Wendell to launch an attack on Yumao County early tomorrow morning.

Even so, those who are really familiar with Nams know that such a Namus is the most terrifying, and in the future, whoever dares to stand in front of the First Fleet and prevent the First Fleet from destroying the Hamo Navy and the Honma family will be hit by the most ferocious blow from the First Fleet.

Early the morning of the second day after the First Fleet was completely destroyed, the main force of the swaying First Fleet slaughtered the port of Hamo with great vigour, and the Ito Navy and Honma Yukei's fleet, which appeared in time, joined the First Fleet of Nams under the unified command of Ito Yuhiro.

Nearly 200 ships of various types sailed on the sea, which was already a scene that covered the sky and the sun, and the few remaining warships were directly frightened into the harbor of Hamao, and they did not even have the courage to go out of the port to meet the battle.
