"Mostly? You're underestimating me so much, that's where to go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe naval battle is just the beginning, and more brutal battles are yet to come. This cruelty is specific to your distant relatives, and you better start praying for them now. "I haven't fought such a happy naval battle for many years, and a man likes this kind of plot of guns coming and going, provided that he is relatively safe, and Hong Tao is no exception. He didn't plan to stop easily this time, let alone give anyone a chance to resurrect soon, he must completely eliminate this hidden danger, otherwise the canal is dug and he can't go back with confidence.

"What else are you going to do?" Carl really didn't know what Hong Tao's plans were to come this time except to teach these overconfident guys a lesson on the sea.

"I have three more things to do! First, to block these ships in the harbor and burn them, to arrest or kill all the sailors, the repairmen in the harbor, and those who know how to build ships, so that they will not have the idea of doing it again, and at least not allow a second Flemish Hanseatic to appear; Second, I'm going to go around Copenhagen, Lübeck, and Riga, burn down their shipyards, and kill all their craftsmen; Finally, I've got to catch some dukes and counts or something. You know, I'm just a pirate and a slave, so I can't pay for the military expenses this time, right? Surely you don't plan to pay this fee either, can I promise to win the battle and lose money? After running such a long way, can I do it if I earn less? If I don't dig out all their belongings, I'll let the corpse of a nobleman hang in every port here, and I don't believe that they can't be killed!" "Hong Tao is not just a broken mouth, but also a crazy person, the more you don't let him do anything, the more he wants to do it. Carl's slightly suspicious performance of eating inside and outside stimulated Hong Tao's nerves. He had only intended to carry out the first two, but now he had added a third one to Carl.

"If you can be so fair to Da Song, Jin He and Yi Yi will not rise up against you!" Knowing that he couldn't stop this madman, Carl was very unwilling, and thought for a long time, as if Hong Tao had only one weakness that could be attacked, that is, the Jinhe Empire was no longer implementing his philosophy, and it was more like a rebellion.

"Want to disgust me with my son? Look at your point! Jin He's right to do it, from a national point of view, he has surpassed his father, and I'm very pleased! Who wouldn't want to see their son stronger than themselves? As for the attitude towards Da Song, that's my personal problem. If you want to watch me fight against the Great Song Dynasty or Jinhe People's Congress, why don't you go back with me, so as to save your old heart from being unbalanced. It's a pity that Carl's trick didn't work, Hong Tao not only didn't get angry, but also praised Hong Jinhe, and Carl was speechless when he said a crooked reason.

In the second half of the night, the sea was basically calm, on the one hand, the fleet of the Flemish Hanseatic was no longer in formation, and the area of fast and slow scattering was too large. On the one hand, the number of their ships has decreased dramatically, and most of the ships have turned off their mast lights, making it difficult for Hong Tao's fleet to find suitable targets to attack.

Since he couldn't find his target, and didn't want to risk getting too close, Hong Tao simply returned with the fleet to join his supply ship, so that the sailors who had been tired all day could rest and rest, and there was an even harder battle waiting for them tomorrow.

"I have to catch this guy! If he doesn't surrender, then he will die, and he can't leave it to others! The next day, as soon as the sun rose over the horizon, Hong Tao returned to the mouth of the Rhine with his expeditionary fleet. The scene in front of him made him grit his teeth with hatred, and at the same time admired the enemy commander very much.

At this time, in the southern channel of the Rhine estuary, several sailing ships with a very deep draft were moored, and several of them were only exposed to the top of the mast. They are sinking themselves, trying to block their route with two small sandbars in the middle of the river. The fact that the enemy commander was able to not panic after a great defeat, and who could remember such a genius idea to prevent the harbor from being damaged by the opposing warships, showed that he was a good admiral. Not only can he fight, but he is also very strategic, and he knows that he will not just stop.

"Signal the flag, let the whaling ships enter the river first, and use naval guns to drive these sailing ships away!" Unfortunately, the time left for this genius commander was a little short, if he could have another day, he could get a dozen more sailboats full of stones, and the river here would have been really blocked. Now the other side has blocked only a third of it, and the remaining few sailing ships are not enough to block the one-kilometer-wide north course.

"Why use a whaling ship! Send your armed cargo ship to drive away the firepower stronger! Karl didn't quite understand Hong Tao's orders, the whaling ship only had deck guns, and it was not as rough and thick as a salmon, so it was not suitable for this kind of attacking task.

"Since the commander on the other side is so clever, I don't think he will not set up a battery on the shore. My cargo ship is full of ammunition supplies and army soldiers, and it is not suitable to go to the shells, only your whaling ship is idle, and now it is time for them to contribute. Originally, Hong Tao could have said his dirty thoughts more noblely, but he had to say it so bluntly that he was angry.

“…… Alright then, you'll have to compensate me for my losses! I think a ship like yours is fine, Wen Xiaoqi's craftsmanship is really good, if you change it according to the tonnage, you should pay me three ships! "Cal and Hong Tao are virtuous, he only cares about the life and death of his kind, and for those North African slaves on the whaling ship, even if they have followed him for many years, they can still be abandoned.

"You better put away your little abacus, no private armies are allowed in the Spring Alliance, not in every country, even if you have a hundred ships, you have to hand them over to the unified command of the Alliance." Hong Tao didn't want to give the Virginia-class battleship and the Qizu cannon to Carl to use, so he leaked it out again. If the Europeans get this kind of ship and this kind of cannon again, then they will really have no way. Although it is not known who made the battleships and naval guns of Flanders and Hansea, Karl is very suspicious, and only he has the opportunity to leak these technologies. Not necessarily himself, maybe a craftsman in his shipyard.

"Why, why shouldn't my own kingdom allow me to protect myself! What is the king without an army, I don't agree! Being poked by Hong Tao's words, Carl was really a little annoyed. The gap between Hong Tao's plan and his previous plan was too big for him to accept.

"You love to agree or not, this is the decision of the alliance, and no one can call the shots alone. By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing, the first conference of the alliance has ended, and since you were not there, I voted on your behalf, so you should have no opinion, right? "When it comes to anger, Carl's ability is still far behind.

“…… I...... I protest! Carl wanted to grab Hong Tao's neck again, but when he saw Hong Tao's posture that he had already put up, he knew that if he dared to do it, the deck would definitely be his destination, so in order to suffer less flesh and skin, he had to choose a more civilized way.

"The protest is invalid, if you want to protest, go back to Sun City to hold an alliance meeting!" Carl was not fooled, Hong Tao was very unhappy, and he had accumulated his strength for a long time, but he did not succeed.

"When is the second coalition meeting?" Karl felt that he still had some hope, who was the king and didn't want to run the country by himself, why did he have to deprive the military of power. If he can do the work of several other kings in advance, he may get enough votes to overthrow the current system. In this regard, Karl believed that Hong Tao would not forcibly interfere, and that the emperor had a strange problem, that is, he liked to vote to solve problems. The rules he set for himself, even if it made him very uncomfortable, he could grit his teeth and endure it.

"No score! I'm the president of the alliance now, and it's up to me to decide when I need to hold a meeting of the alliance. Hey, hey, hey...... Lao Ka, fight with me, you're still far away. When my canal is dug up, you can figure out how to rebel! Hahaha...... "Hong Tao is waiting for Carl to ask this, if he is not angry, this red-bearded white ghost will feel uncomfortable. It is because of his negligence that the layout of Europe has become what it is now, which is too hateful. Of course, Jiang Zhuyi is also responsible, but she is her own woman, and she has to protect it when necessary, and this black cauldron can only be deducted from Carl's head.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Rumble...... Boom......" Just when Karl was already flushed with anger and was about to pounce on Hong Tao to play with Hong Tao, several cannon shots from the estuary interrupted the verbal attack between the two people.

"This is a large-caliber naval gun! My boat! Karl immediately gave up the idea of hand-to-hand combat with Hong Tao, raised his binoculars, and looked into the estuary.

By this time one of his whaling ships had been hit, the backmast was tipping, the sailors on deck were cutting the rigging with machetes, and the sail operators were crawling up and down the other two masts, desperately raising the sails to get the ship back in motion and avoid being a live target. The black lookout on the midmast waved a small flag and reported the enemy's movements to the fleet, which was a kilometer away.

In fact, without his instructions, the lookouts in the fleet have been watching the movements on both sides of the riverbank. This whaling ship was a decoy to test whether the enemy had shore artillery, and as soon as the enemy opened fire, the smoke would reveal their position.

"Your Excellency, there are two batteries on the left and right banks of the river, in the woods on the high slopes, within our firing range." Soon, the captain counted the data observed by each ship and reported it to Hong Tao.

"Shoot one round first, cover the whaling ship back, and then the fleet advances five hundred meters and knocks out the battery!" If there were only front-loading guns, Hong Tao would not dare to drill into the river without the cover of the army, and once he encountered the shore guns arranged at a high place, then his own battleship would only be beaten. But now, the Qizu cannon can not only rotate the angle left and right, but also adjust the high and low angles, up to 20 degrees, which is enough to deal with those shore guns.
