Chapter 142: Seven Providence and Human Hope

It would be a bit unjust to put all the blame for the war with Palci on Palermodala, but it would not be his responsibility to say otherwise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is true that Palermodala is unhappy with Margrahn's order not to allow any kind of misunderstanding with Palci, but he is not so much that he will disregard the strategy of the whole country for the sake of personal feelings. From the very beginning, he conscientiously led the fleet along the coastline to the east, and the adoption of such a route essentially eliminated the possibility of encountering the Palci fleet or even the merchant fleet.

Unfortunately, God played a joke on him, the Dicier Sea has always been known for its calm and seas and suitable for navigation, but that evening Palermodara noticed that the clouds in the northwest sky were of a strange color, and with many years of experience at sea, he knew that a strong wind was coming. Palermodala was indeed an experienced commander, and he immediately gave orders to prepare all the warships in the fleet. But there was one thing that he didn't expect, and that was that the wind was stronger than he could have imagined. It was a strong wind that could almost be called a storm, and in the course of battling this storm, half of the ships of Frank's fleet were blown away, and the remaining main force was blown out of the whole southeast for more than two hundred miles.

Palermodala immediately confirmed his position, and at this moment his fleet was already in the waters near Palchi. In order to avoid a misunderstanding with Palci, Palermodara naturally wanted to leave the sea immediately, but the reality did not allow him to do so, because the Frankish infantry on board the ship had vomited out of shape during the storm, and it was best to let them rest at this time. At this time, a thought could not help but come to Palermodara's heart: Is it God's will to let me set foot on the land of Palchi?

At present, Palermodara has a whole fleet and nearly 50,000 infantry in his hands, and in addition, the food reserves are also very sufficient, if he lands on the coast of Palchi at this time, he will definitely be able to catch Palchi by surprise, and this sudden storm has brought himself to this sea, it is no wonder that Palermodara has this idea.

In the end, however, reason prevailed over emotion, and Palermodala decided to leave. So, in that sense, Palermodala is not primarily responsible for this.

But after such a struggle in his heart, time was delayed a little, and then his fleet was confronted by the patrol fleet of Palci.

Parci's patrol fleet was not large, but they blocked Palermodala and sternly questioned him as to why he was invading Palci's waters. Palermodara tried to solve the problem by explaining the misunderstanding at first, but as the other party's unreasonableness gradually escalated, the fire in Palermodara's heart gradually rose, and in the end, not only him, but even his soldiers were all filled with righteous indignation, and finally Palermodala couldn't hold back and sank all the patrol fleet.

Now it can stab the hornet's nest, Palermodara knows that things are getting bigger, so he simply does not do anything, lands in Palchi, conquers the city, and if it succeeds, then he can let the Frankish army in the territory of Paz go south to echo himself.

If we look at the landing battle carried out by Palermodara, his formation is enough to be included in military textbooks as a model. It is a pity that his plan failed before it could be implemented, because Palermo Dalawan did not expect that Palci's fleet would come so quickly. Just as he began to land, the shadow of the First Fleet of Palci appeared on the sea behind him.

Many historians of later generations believe that the naval friction that led to the war between Palch and Frank was planned by Congille, the commander of the First Fleet in Palch, because the arrival of the First Fleet was in every sense too timely, and the destruction of the small patrol fleet not only gave him a reason to engage the Frank fleet, but also happened to prevent the Frankish army from setting foot on Palch territory, which seemed like a long-planned conspiracy in any way.

In fact, this chain of events was indeed a coincidence, but Congille himself was optimistic about the war with Frank.

Cornchill was originally a pirate, so as a fleet commander, he attaches great importance to the actual combat ability training of the troops, plus his first fleet is different from the second and third fleets, it is a newly formed fleet, and it is also the only maritime military force in the Patch Sea, so the frequency of Cornill's exercises for this fleet is almost outrageous. And the main reason why he was able to come so quickly this time was that his fleet was holding military exercises in the vicinity, and the sentinel ships he sent had discovered the Frank fleet early in the morning, so his fleet had long been on alert, following the Frank fleet to see what they were going to do. When Congille discovered that his patrol fleet was under attack by Frank's fleet, his fighting spirit immediately broke through the sane defenses. Immediately after he found that the Frank fleet did not intend to flee after completing this vote, he turned to the east to prepare for a landing operation, and Congille knew in his heart that a golden opportunity had come, and he immediately commanded the fleet to cover it in a half-moon formation.

Palermodara, who was about to land, was completely dizzy when he encountered such a situation - he thought that he was a surprise attack and could catch his opponent off guard, but he never expected that he would become a turtle in an urn first. At the moment, he has no way to advance or retreat, and the only way out is to throw behind these soldiers who have landed, turn the bow of the ship and fight a bloody way.

Palermodala is an excellent admiral, and because of this, he is not impulsive enough to set up a formation and fight a decisive battle with the First Fleet of Palchi - his geographical position is absolutely disadvantaged, and it is simply delusional to defeat the Palchi fleet that is ready to close the net, and the other party will never give himself the opportunity to form a strong formation, and judging from the situation of friend and foe, he also understands that although the number of his ships is superior, the tonnage of the other party's hull far exceeds his own, and the result of hard work is very tragic.

However, it is not easy to break through the half-moon formation of Congille, you must know that the ships of the Frank fleet are full of combat personnel and food, and the draft is too deep to affect the speed and steering ability of the ships, but fortunately, Palermodara immediately discarded as much food as possible to obtain the speed of the ship, and finally broke through the encirclement of the Palch fleet and fled in a hurry, Rao is so wise and decisive, the Frank fleet still lost more than thirty percent of the ships, As for the more than 18,000 soldiers who had already been sent to land, they watched as their comrades abandoned themselves, and this isolated army simply surrendered.
