The battle between Chelsea and California is not in the slightest bit of suspense.

Thanks to its speed and the fact that the range of the artillery was doubled, the defeat of California was already doomed from the beginning.

It's just that due to the special nature of naval warfare, it can't end as quickly as the army battle.

As a result, the naval battle between Chelsea and California continued until midnight.

In the midst of the battle, the flaming battleships set the night sky on fire, and the guns that were constantly firing emitted bursts of light, as if they were tongues of fire.

The earth-shattering sound of artillery made the entire sea area seem to be thundering.

The battle had begun in the morning, and had now been on the side of California, with as many as thirty-four ships destroyed.

But the California fleet was still struggling to hold on.

It's not that they don't want to run away, it's that they simply can't escape in this situation.

The speed of the ships under the Chelsea fleet is something that California already knows all too well after a day of fighting.

So, even if they turn around and run away, they will be chased and then slaughtered and sunk by the enemy.

You can think of this with your ass.

So, instead of running away and being chased by the enemy behind the ass, it's better to take a look at the pauper now.

It is with this idea that the warships under the command of the California fleet have been supported until now.

But even so, the heavy losses are unacceptable to them.

It was a one-sided slaughter.

Yes, they don't have the slightest bit to fight back.

None of the ships in Chelsea's fleet have been sunk by California, and because of the sinking of so many ships by California, their numbers have in turn.

The situation is extremely bad for California right now.

"My lord, the Banshee of the North Sea seems to have turned around and fled!"

It was at this time that something happened that made California even more depressed.

When in the melee. A battleship on the periphery of his flagship actually ran away at this time.

"Bastard! Doesn't he know that the road can't run away at all! ”

Galifford cursed angrily.

But no matter how vicious he cursed, it didn't help.

But it's normal to think about it, everyone has been persisting until now, and everyone's spirit is highly tense.

Now it's up to us who can't hold that string first, and then there will be an accident.

But California could never have imagined that something would happen at such a time.

California immediately thought of an even worse scenario, that is, because of this guy's escape, will it cause a chain reaction and then cause a big collapse.

Yes, such a thing is not out of the question.

It's still the middle of the night. I guess that guy must have wanted to take advantage of the darkness of the night, so he would run away.

Did he think that the warships of the Song Empire would not be able to catch up with him at night?

Thinking of this terrible consequence, California's face changed dramatically.

But it was precisely because it was at night that he couldn't control it either.

I wanted the standard-bearer to signal the surrounding warships, but the problem was that the surrounding warships could not be seen at night.

Although there can be oil lamps to signal at night, but now that everyone is in the middle of a fierce battle, who has the energy to pay attention to this matter.

Bastard, bastard. What a damn thing.

Just as California was thinking about what to do, what he feared most happened.

The escape of the Banshee of the Deep caused a series of undesirable consequences.

Originally, everyone was fighting, so why did you run.

Since someone ran away. Then you must run.

Although everyone had planned to fight the Song Empire's fleet earlier, after a day and a half and half of a night of fighting, it was clear that this was not desperate but sent to death.

Now that someone is finally the first to escape, then even if you say it in the future, it has nothing to do with you, does it?

When the time comes it is completely possible to do everything. It's all blamed on the captain of the Banshee.

Of course, the premise is that he must escape the Song Empire's warships and survive.

Time. The remaining ships of the California fleet began to turn around, and then began to sail backwards at full speed without looking at the direction.

The battle was fought to this extent, and even if California was the son of God, there was nothing to be done.

"My lord, what do we do now?"

The adjutant asked anxiously.

"Retreat, what else can we do. We have already lost this battle, and there is absolutely no room for redemption. ”

After a long sigh, Galifford gave the order to retreat.

At the same time, Galifford secretly prayed in his heart, hoping to take advantage of the cover of night to escape from the pursuit of the Song Imperial fleet.

Although he thought in his heart that this thing was unlikely to happen, he couldn't care so much about it at this time.

At this point, the California fleet, with the Banshee absconding first, caused a series of consequences.

The Galifford fleet, which had been struggling to hold on, was now beginning to retreat.

"My lord, the enemy seems to be retreating, should we catch up?"

Chelsea have been keeping an eye on the situation of the California fleet.

There's nothing going on on his side, and it's impossible to hide it from Chelsea.

Hearing this, Chelsea smiled and said loudly: "Of course! We can't let them go, and if they have the courage to come, they must bear the consequences! ”

With Chelsea's words, it's all easy.

The fleets of the Song Empire also began to turn around, and began to pursue the retreating fleet of California at full speed.

Now that the win is basically decided, the next thing for Chelsea is to catch up and sink the enemy.

Now that the enemy's great rout has completely disorganized its battleship formation, there is no order in the slightest.

Basically, they take care of themselves and don't pay attention to the formation problem at all.

In that case, what else could Chelsea be polite about.

The warships of the Song Empire launched a one-on-one pursuit.

Around Chelsea's flagship, there were still a dozen or so warships that came over steadily, surrounding the flagship in the center.

Battleships on the side of California. When they fled, they went in any direction.

For a moment, it was as if it was a blooming flower.

At this time, if the Dutch battleship had a wind and the wind was in the right direction, its speed was basically around ten knots.

But there is a premise, and that is tailwind.

However, the wind was very light tonight, and it was still southwesterly, so the situation encountered by the California fleet was really very troublesome.

On the other hand, the fleet of the Song Empire, because its warships were modified to accept wind power from all directions, and the hull of the aircraft underwent very scientific improvements. So its speed can be maintained at about twenty-one knots.

Even when the wind is very small or headwindy, its speed can be maintained at nine knots.

But the Dutch battleships were not good.

Now the Dutch, who are retreating, have a maximum speed of only six knots.

However, the pursuing battleships of the Song Imperial fleet reached a speed of thirteen knots.

In other words, this is more than double the speed of the Dutch.

The distance above was about six nautical miles, because Chelsea had been controlling the pace of the battle and controlling the range of the artillery.

In this way, the Dutch turned into cups again.

It's good to run away.

You don't have to worry about running away.

No more facing the rumbling artillery.

No more to see the shells bombarding the ship, sending the scum of his companions flying all over the place.

This was the thought of all the sailors on the Dutch battleship.

But that's just wishful thinking.

What is the truth?

The fact is that they had no way to dodge the fire of the Song Empire's warships, because they fled in front. But the warships of the Song Empire followed behind and kept bombarding them.

But it's much better than just now.

After all, only one gun could be placed on the bow.

But the speed of the Song Empire's warships was too fast......

It was exactly ten midnight when the Dutch retreated.

Wait until the sun has just risen in the morning and is at sea level. After six hours of pursuit, the Song Empire's warships finally caught up with the retreating Dutch warships.

"Bazooka ready!"

When the two ships were still more than a hundred meters apart, all the Dutch rushed to the deck, because according to the usual situation, then the next step should be to engage in broadside.

Other words. The fleet of the Song Empire will surely approach and begin to board the ships for hand-to-hand combat.

Of course, first of all the two ships were passing by. On the side, we must first start talking about artillery bombardment.

But the problem is that the warships of the Song Empire are now acting a little incomprehensibly.

Obviously, they could catch up, and then the two ships were parallel to each other, and then landed in hand-to-hand combat, but they kept their speed and never picked up any more.

At the same time, while maintaining the speed of the ship, several sailors appeared in the bow of the ship with a black object on their shoulders.

"Put!"

Laugh at!

I saw a puff of white smoke and fire coming out from behind the object on the shoulder of the opposing sailor, and then a long flame rushed out and ran straight to the tail of our own warship.

What the hell is this!

The Dutchmen on the deck saw this, their eyes widened, and their hearts shouted at the same time.

Rumble!

Boom!

The knock-off bazookas hit the target one after another, and all of them hit the bottom of the tail of the battleship, blasting it open a big hole.

In an instant, the sea began to pour in through the gap, and the whole ship began to slowly.

It's a weapon!

At this time, the Dutch reacted.

That thing was the weapon of the Song Empire.

It's just that the Dutch don't understand why that weapon is so powerful.

The Dutch on the battleship began to panic.

The leakage of the battleship is a big thing in this era, even in later generations.

So, the morale of the Dutch instantly fell to the bottom.

It's just one of the things that happened in one of the one-on-one chases.

But the same situation is happening in other seas.

Basically, after catching up with the Dutch routed battleships, the Song Empire's warships would keep their speed and not speeding up.

At the same time, in order to avoid an artillery battle with the other side, it only follows behind its ship and does not parallel to it.

The same happened to the flagship of California, and the stern was likewise wrecked, revealing a large gap in which seawater began to pour into the hold.

At this time, his flagship had begun to tilt slightly due to the influx of seawater.

Come to think of it, it won't take long, because the whole ship will reverse and sink because of the seawater pouring into the cabin.

"Fly the white flag! Surrender! ”

At this point, although California was very unwilling, he had no other way.

Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and give the order to surrender.

"My lord, the other party has raised the white flag and wants the title."

At this time, the captain of the Song Empire warship, who had been following California, got a report from his subordinates.

This is a captain of Chinese descent, he is very young, and he is only in his early twenties.

Hearing this, the captain frowned slightly, and his expression was extremely impatient.

"Damn, what are you doing with surrender, I don't want to accept their surrender. If this shit really wanted to surrender, it would have come to find fault with us when we were on our way to Cayenne, and had escaped for most of the night. ”

It was clear that listening to the tone, the captain of the genetic man, did not want to accept California's surrender at all.

"Captain, since you don't want to accept surrender, then sink the other party. Even if these people fall into the sea, they won't survive, because it's still hundreds of nautical miles from land. ”

The adjutant saw that his captain did not want to accept surrender, so he smiled and proposed.

After listening to the adjutant's proposal, the captain of Chinese descent finally looked better.

"Well, Lao Tzu just doesn't accept their surrender, why!"

Subsequently, the order was given to open fire.

The battleship began to speed up, passing past the battleship in California.

At the same time, the muzzles on the sides of the hull were all opened, and fifty-two guns, all aimed at the battleship in California.

California couldn't have imagined that the other party would not play his cards according to the routine, and would actually have to do it when he played the white flag.

It's incredible.

You know, in Europe in this era, or in the battle at sea.

But whenever one side raises a white flag, then its enemy must show chivalry to receive the surrender.

Like the Song Empire, who came out of the rules without following the rules, he really hadn't seen it before.

Actually, California is not to blame, it's just that his ideas are a little too rigid.

He also didn't want to think about it, and the Song Empire was not a European country.

So, why should people follow this rule that is popular on the European continent?

You must understand that in the eyes of these people in the Song Empire, this kind of rule is very brain-dead.

What kind of knightly demeanor is still engaged in on the battlefield, it's just.

As the two ships passed by at close range, California saw the muzzles of the other gun's guns wide open, and the sinister smiles on the faces of the dark-haired, black-eyed guys huddled on deck.

In an instant, he understood!

Fire!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! (To be continued.) )
