509 loses both

Now Miao Shengye is no longer in the mood to care about the two Ming Empire battleships that appeared on the landing ground on Luzon Island. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of his Guan Yu battleship, he was already facing an embarrassing situation of two or four at this time. In order to cover the retreat of the battleship Guan Yu, the battleship Montenegro of the Ceylon decoy fleet has been beaten into a sieve.

"Speaker, we don't have reinforcements now, we must retreat out of here as soon as possible!" The captain of the battleship Guan Yu suggested to Miao Shengye, who was extremely depressed.

As the commander of the decoy fleet, the original Ceylon guerrilla fleet, the admiral's first task now is to ensure the absolute safety of the Speaker.

Although it was a bit of a shame to retreat at this time, he had to bear this responsibility in order to ensure the absolute safety of the supreme governor of Ceylon.

"Your Excellency! The subordinates think that in the current situation, retreat is the best response! The general looked at Miao Shengye and said.

"I don't retreat! As the supreme leader of Ceylon, how could I, as the supreme leader of Ceylon, do anything to escape? Miao Shengye immediately rejected the general's opinion.

But the other party was not ashamed or annoyed, and continued to persuade very calmly: "Your Excellency the Speaker! Even if you weren't on the ship, in the face of this situation, I would have ordered a retreat! ”

"You dare! Order the battleship Guan Yu to rush forward! I'm going to fight to the death! "As a famous general in the army, Miao Shengye certainly has his own faith and courage.

In this case, he could not accept the fact of running away in any case. In his opinion, this is a humiliation and a disgrace to the military.

"Your Excellency! Sometimes retreat is not a sign of cowardice! Rather, it is to preserve strength and fight against more ferocious enemies...... It's not that you don't understand this! The general said this one last sentence, and then ignored Miao Shengye's annoyance.

He returned to the command position, and then gave an order to Han Signal and the two battleships of the Black Mountain to be broken: "Guan Yu will return to the landing site to drive away the opponent's battleship, and the remaining two battleships will be broken!" ”

The general said it well, but in fact, the battleship Montenegro at this moment has been bombed into a pile of scrap metal by the opponent's battleship, and it is only a matter of time before it sinks.

Therefore, the implementation of this order is actually an order for the Han signal battleship to be cut off, and the Guan Yu to leave the battlefield!

As for whether the battleship Guan Yu finally went to support Ceylon's landing ground on the south side of Luzon, only God knows.

Unfortunately, at such a time, once the decision to cover the leader to go first is issued, the subordinates can only have the choice of executing.

The Ceylon Navy is also a well-trained navy, and after receiving the order, the Korean signal battleship immediately responded to this order: "Our ship has received an order, and it must fight until the last second, and delay enough time for other battlefields!" ”

Just as the Korean signal battleship sent back a telegram, a cannonball flew out of the battleship Longhushan and hit the side of the burning battleship Black Mountain.

The explosion suddenly flew off the deck of the battleship Montenegro, and the huge explosion blew out a crack more than one meter wide on the side of the battleship, which originally belonged to the Ming Empire.

The steel plate was twisted and broken by the explosion, and the entire middle part of the battleship began to enter the water, and it began to sink rapidly. It fled all the way from outside Chittagong to here, but finally could not escape the fate of sinking.

Seeing the explosion and sinking of the battleship Montenegro from inside the sight, a soldier of the Ming Empire sneered: "Hmph! It's really a shame to fight your own battleship, and it's a pity that such a good battleship is given to those bastards. ”

The Black Mountain exploded and sank, and Han Signal was about to face the siege of the four battleships of the Ming Empire. The four-fold difference in strength made the sailors and officers on the Korean signal have an urge to cry.

The battleship Guan Yu had already turned, and although it was also wounded, the speed of the battleship out of the war zone was not affected in any way.

In the blink of an eye, the battleship Guan Yu, carrying the head of the Ceylon Council, had already used its tail to face the Ming Empire detachment that was approaching in the distance.

Allowing the speaker of the parliament, Miao Shengye, to scold on the bridge, the Ceylon naval commander just kept his mouth shut and did not speak. And the battleship was getting farther and farther away, and Miao Shengye didn't bother to scold anymore in the end.

He knew that although today's naval battle would be a victory for the coalition forces, it was unknown how heavy the price Ceylon would pay.

For him, for the Speaker, in fact he has already lost, and he is a little disheartened by the loss. In the landing operation he led, there was no genius like Wang Jue, but he still lost an embarrassing loss.

The enemy's weapons form an advantage, and the enemy's self-destructive style of play is a level higher than his arrangement. Chu and Wang Jue, as well as Rui Mouguo on the island, united and defeated him.

"To Balek? Admiral Lem sent a telegram! Tell him the news here! Miao Shengye stopped the abuse painfully, covered his forehead with his hand, and spoke lonely.

An officer took the order and left, and at this time, Miao Shengye's order automatically resumed its previous effectiveness. The coalition fleet has already sent a telegram of reinforcements, and ten warships of the navy have approached......

Although he knew it well, the four battleships of the Ming Empire, and even the two battleships of the Ming Empire that rushed to the landing ground on Luzon Island, could not escape this time.

But Miao Shengye's mood was terrible - his landing force was doomed to heavy losses, and Ceylon's navy also lost a large number of valuable troops!

The Han signal battleship was in a catastrophe, Zhang Fei and Gan Ning were seriously injured and exited, Huo Quzhi was slightly injured, Wei Qing sank, Li Guang sank, and Montenegro sank......

The British fleet lost only one battleship Reckless, and the remaining two were lightly wounded! Such a record, in any case, was won by the British. As for Ceylon...... That's hard to say.

If you include the other auxiliary ships that were sunk at the landing site, as well as small warships such as cruisers and destroyers, it is really difficult to evaluate whether Ceylon won or lost in this naval battle.

It is also a historical mystery that has been debated to the next generation. But behind this controversy, the Nanyang Fleet of the Ming Empire had already sunk 6 ships at this time, and the loss was close to half.

In theory, the remaining 8 warships only sank in this naval battle. The difference is how much damage they can inflict on the enemy before they sink!
