"Rhona, are you okay?" The wounded Charlotte lay limply in his bedroom, his gray eyes blinking weakly. "Rhona, you go and tell the captain to contact the 'Count Nalasun', and the command of the fleet is handed over to Vice Admiral Lemo, the deputy commander of the fleet, and tell them that the best thing now is to retreat, because the surprise attack has failed......"

"Father...... Father ......"

The medical officer, Clay, comforted him, "Miss Rona, he was only severely injured, but there should be no danger to his life, believe me everything will be fine." ”

Suppressing her tears, Rhona walked out of the cabin again, trying to save the unparalleled ship to the best of her ability.

The heavy damage of the "Queen" greatly boosted the morale of the Shenzhou Navy, and because the opponent's capital ship had no power to fight back, the next attack focused on the second capital ship "Count Nalason". The 98-gun battleship was besieged by some wasp-like critters. And it now understands very well that it is not easy to play any queue against such a small thing, the only important thing is to "turn the rudder, turn the rudder, turn the rudder again" to keep the direction of the enemy ship attack in the area covered by artillery fire, and do not let these slippery little things get close, otherwise it will only take one salvo to encounter the Queen.

"Vice Admiral Lemo, the commander of the fleet, Vice Admiral Charlotte, has ordered the transfer of command to you."

Vice Admiral Lemo had red eyes and kept shouting "turn the rudder...... The "firing of the ship's guns" ...... the rudder has also been learned, and it is no longer a salvo, but only a third of the guns are fired at a time, maintaining the continuity of fire, and only in this way can those little things be driven away. The four small fleets kept slippering towards the "Count of Nalason" from three directions, and as soon as they came into range, their cannons rang incessantly, and the sound of their cannons never stopped like beating drums. Terrifying whistle-sounding shells continued to explode in front of or behind the battleship.

"Command handed over to me? So what now? "You must know that according to the "Naval Combat Regulations", if you do not pursue the enemy or destroy the formation in a certain state, you will have to go to a military court, but now it is ...... to destroy the formation!? It can also be broken by enemy forces individually. Because the other four warships are still in a box queue that can protect each other, and these small ships can't break through such a formation, so what should we do ourselves?

"Oh my God, what's that?" With the adjutant's exclamation, Vice Admiral Lemo spotted the battleship of the Shenzhou Army coming to the aid from Pingzhang Island, saying that the battleship was nothing more than a Minjiang-class Marine Corps troop carrier equipped with some self-defense artillery. The commander was Xu Liejun, who read the battle report to Nanchang every day, and his hands were itching, so he heard that there was a fight at sea today, so he loaded the army's self-propelled rocket artillery onto the ship regardless of it, and came to the sea with 10 armed transport ships used to mobilize troops.

This change made Vice Admiral Lemo feel terrified, you must know that these small ships are already difficult to deal with, just imagine what will happen to those big ships that seem to be able to carry at least 60 cannons? Secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Since this surprise attack has failed, let's retreat, next time we will organize more warships in Taiwan, only then can we deal with such a wolf pack." ”

The adjutant hesitated, "My lord, what is the ...... of Lieutenant General Charlotte?" ”

Lemo seemed to have deliberately glanced at the adjutant, he had been thinking about the position of commander of the fleet for a long time. "After the order is delivered, send a boat to pick him up......"

"Yes" The adjutant replied loudly, to convey the order, and said in his heart: "It seems that this Lieutenant General Lemo is still humane!" ”

As the ship's first mate and most of the officers on deck were killed in two intense artillery fires, Rona took command temporarily. After all, she still has considerable authority among all the crew members and junior officers.

"Rona comforted Vice Admiral Lemo with a signal that he would lead the fleet to retreat due to the failure of the surprise attack, and would send a small boat over, please be prepared."

Rhona tried her best not to look at the signalman, the ship's more than 800 crew members, now knew that more than 200 were killed and many more wounded, she didn't know where the devilish flowering shells got from those people on the boat, but she knew in her heart that it was the explosion of those shells that sent sturdy oak shards flying everywhere, injuring many.

There was sincerity in the eyes of the actual signal soldier, and he hoped that a girl like Lorna would not fall into the hands of those terrible devils.

Rhona came to her father's bed, "Father, the lower deck is flooded, and there is a fire on every second deck, I have ordered the powder magazine to be filled with water, but because of the fire we can't stop the bilge from flooding...... And Lieutenant General Lemo said that he would...... Ships will be sent, and he has already ordered the fleet to retreat. ”

Huang Kehui's "Eagle" frigate had completed the maintenance of the manpower system, and he waved his hand with satisfaction, "Open the ship, let's go capture some prisoners and ......."

Rhona was instructed by her father not to leave his crew behind, but to leave her alone. "I ...... I will not leave my father. With that, she returned to the still-busy upper deck.

Then she sadly discovered that the "Count of Nalason" had moved closer to the remaining four battleships, and that the enemy had arrived with ten cruiser-like battleships, each of which, according to Rhona's eyes, could carry at least 50 to 70 guns each. The battle was lost. What warmed her heart a little was the Dutch boat from the sea. She turned her head, and this time she could be honest with the signalman.

"Tell the crew that Vice Admiral Lemo has sent a ship to pick up our wounded, and ask them to prepare and bring the most seriously wounded to the ship first."

"Yes," the signalman laughed, and this time he gave a military salute and responded loudly.

"Sir, their ship is on fire, you see in the second floor, the good guy is really burning!" Sun Mingyang put down the binoculars in his hand and pointed to the enemy ship in front of him.

"Oh, let's get closer, tell the crew to prepare to put out the fire" Huang Kehui picked up the binoculars and glanced at them, and gave an order to Sun Mingyang.

"We're not taking prisoners anymore?" Sun Mingyang didn't know what to do.

"Nonsense, we are soldiers, not butchers."

"Oh!" Sun Mingyang sullenly answered and went down to give the order.
