Chapter 194 Escape
The situation took a turn for the worse, and once again it became a situation of being besieged, and this time the enemy who surrounded it was stronger than the pirates just now, all the ships were all professional warships, and the Zhenhai fleet under the command of King Ning could be said to be pouring out, which showed the resoluteness of King Ning's will hidden behind it. It's no wonder that when I was in Dinghai, I didn't even bother to meet, I'm afraid that the meeting weakened the determination of this operation.
It is impossible to understand King Ning's determination, and it is also impossible to speculate on King Ning's motives for doing this.
At this time, Li Zhe suddenly had a feeling that in the future, except for going out to fight, he would never set foot in other people's territory again, and he would never face the situation like now, where there was no place in front of the village and no store in the back, and the sky should not be called the earth. This feeling of powerlessness is too embarrassing.
He Li Zhe still has a great career in Tianzhu, everything is still just on the right track, what if he dies and all this? I can't think about it.
Li Zhe must admit that he himself is also afraid of death, after all, he is just an ordinary person.
These distracting thoughts under the panic flashed in Li Zhe's mind, Li Zhe tried to calm his mind, as the master of an army, anyone in this fleet can be blinded, but he must not mess with himself, what he is now shouldering is the life of a whole fleet.
Li Zhe tried his best to find the best response for the Tianzhu Army under the current situation.
A moment later, Li Zhe ordered
"Order, the team is divided into three teams, Shi Minglun's fleet is in front, and one team of this team is behind the palace to resist the enemy's main fleet, and all of them are advancing north."
When the two armies meet, the brave wins, and in this case, there is only one way to survive.
The enemy's two armies attacked before and after, but at the same time left a glimmer of life for the Tianzhu people, although the cruisers in the north are numerous, the speed of the ships is faster, it is difficult for the fleet to say that it can escape their pursuit, but the characteristics of the cruisers are doomed, they can not block their own resolute charge, and the main fleet on the other side of the enemy is strong, but the speed of the ship is slow, they are good at decisive battles, but they are not good at pursuit.
As a result, the situation on the ocean at this time has become a pursuit battle in which one side escapes and the other side intercepts.
The Tianzhu fleet directly threw off a dozen of its own bulkiest ships, and the rest of the ships all ran north.
Seeing this, Bai Changling hurriedly ordered his subordinates to chase after him, but who knew that more than a dozen ships that were regarded as outcasts by Tianzhu were all in unison, dragging the footsteps of the Zhenhai fleet, although these ships were merchant ships, far less than the warships to resist beating, but the huge tonnage also gave them extremely strong survivability. Especially after the rifled guns were added to the ship, it was somewhat combat-effective.
If the Zhenhai Fleet doesn't take it seriously, it will never work.
The power of rifled guns, one cannon and one accurate, after the Zhenhai fleet was entangled by it, was accidentally damaged in several places, one of the capital ships, was opened in the waterline, the sea water poured in, and there was a danger of sinking the ship. It's a pity that the gunners on these merchant ships lack training after all, and they don't have enough accuracy, otherwise maybe with this round, the Zhenhai fleet will suffer heavy losses.
At this time, the artillery of the Zhenhai fleet could not even reach the ships of the Tianzhu people.
"Damn, these bastards, where did this artillery come from! How can the artillery of a merchant fleet be more powerful than the guns of our capital ships? ”
Bai Changling was really taken aback by the artillery of the Tianzhu people, in the naval battle, the power and range of the artillery directly determined the combat effectiveness in the naval battle.
The ships in front of him, fortunately, are only merchant ships, this kind of powerful artillery, there are not many, only a few on the deck of each ship, and the firepower density is far worse than that of the official warships, otherwise it would not be Li Zhe who led people to run away, but his Bai Changling's Zhenhai fleet ran away.
After all, Bai Changling is a veteran sailor general, and after seeing this artillery, he almost instantly affirmed its value, the artillery of the Tianzhu people is so strong, so if it is really right in the future, it needs to be really paid attention to.
No wonder King Ning wants to attack Tianzhu, if all the warships of the Tianzhu people are equipped with such artillery in the future, will they still be used in naval battles?
You must know that the ordinary artillery of this era, as long as it does not hit the critical point against a thick-skinned master like the capital ship, even if it hits dozens of guns, it is helpless.
Therefore, the decisive battle of the capital ship in this era can often drag on for a whole day, and there may not be any results.
Where is it like this Tianzhu people, the artillery of a mere merchant ship can penetrate the hull of the capital ship, it is simply a fantasy.
But Bai Changling thought about it like this, sweat was pouring down on his forehead, and the Tianzhu people were so strong even the artillery on the merchant ships, so the artillery on their warships was still used.
I'm afraid that the current Ning Wang Domain's water master has no choice but to fight against Shang Tianzhu!
In this case, King Ning also wanted to attack the envoy fleet of Tianzhu and set off a war with the Tianzhu people, if this news leaked out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Bai Changling realized his crisis for the first time.
In this way, the capital ships of the Zhenhai Fleet had to brace themselves up and deal with these ships.
And the other ships of the Tianzhu fleet here took advantage of the opportunity of the main ship of the Zhenhai fleet being entangled, and rushed to the north.
Rumble! Rumble! Crash!
The Tianzhu fleet advanced under the sound of enemy cannonballs, and the enemy's artillery hit the water, raising a column of water that soared into the sky, and slapped on the deck.
Shi Minglun deserves to be a fierce general, leading his subordinates to advance against the artillery fire, and forcibly cut a way. At the cost of the only three capital ships in the fleet, one sank and one seriously damaged.
But in exchange for the interception formation of enemy cruisers, it was cut in two by Shi Minglun's fleet.
Seeing this, Li Zhe led the large fleet to rush in from the rear, and these merchant ships of theirs also formed a sharp formation, relying on their own wider body than the cruiser, and forced this road to be wider, and the artillery on the enemy's cruiser bombarded the merchant ship like raindrops, and the ship was bombarded with fire, and the deck was cleaned over and over again.
But at the same time, the counterattack from the Tianzhu fleet also caused heavy damage to the cruiser.
Unlike the firepower of the cruiser, the artillery fire of the Tianzhu side is more lethal, and the rifled guns placed on the deck of the merchant ship will bring a fatal crisis as long as every shot hits.
Today's water is a sea of blood and fire!
