225 Forced to Surrender
The next day, in the last quarter of an hour on the eve of dawn, a Sanyalou ship of the Bohai Fleet sank under the fierce attack of the Yellow River Fleet. The remaining ships of the Yellow River Fleet erupted in an incomparably violent cheer. For the first time, the balance of the war seems to be tilted in favor of the Yellow River Fleet, as long as the remaining two Sanyalou ships are killed, it will represent that the Yellow River Fleet occupies the commanding heights.
However, it was not as easy as it was to get rid of the remaining two three-tooth ships. The two ships were still under the protection of the other fighting ships, and they resisted stubbornly.
Flagship of the Bohai Fleet Headquarters.
A herald reported to Qin Xiaobai urgently: "Report, one of our Sanyalou ships has been sunk!" It is estimated that there are about 10 or so fighting ships of our side and more than 50 fighting ships of the Yellow River Fleet remaining on the front line. The commander of the 1st formation sent an emergency signal and requested the 2nd and 4th formations to support from the flanks and annihilate the Yellow River fleet! ”
The lonely man next to him said: "It's too dark, our reserve fleet is now in the past, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and I am afraid that we will not be able to wield support combat effectiveness." ”
Qin Xiaobai looked at the time, muttered for a moment, and said: "There are still more than ten minutes left, wait a little longer, the whole fleet is ready, and the Yellow River fleet will be attacked on the left, center, and right!" ”
"Yes!"
The heralds traveled directly to and from the ships in small boats to deliver orders.
On the dark sea, the sound of shouts, arrows, halberds, and ballistas became more and more sparse. You can only rely on the flames to determine how many ships are still alive. There are also fewer and fewer flames floating on the surface of the sea, almost 80% less than at the beginning, which means that large swaths of warships have sunk and only a few are still alive.
The shouts of killing are still there, but after a night of bloody fighting, the players' strength has obviously declined significantly, their voices are hoarse, and their strength is insufficient.
The battle at sea seems to have gradually subsided.
The remaining six fleets of the Yellow River Fleet have all been concentrated. There were as many as fifty or sixty ships in total, and they launched a final onslaught against two Sanyalou ships and five or six frigates. Victory was in sight, and joy filled the faces of almost every player in the Yellow River camp. This made them attack the three-toothed ship even harder.
There was even a fleet commander who gave up the plan to sink the Sanyalou ship, and wanted to directly use ladders to transport hundreds of NPC soldiers over and occupy the Sanyalou ship by force. Capture these two three-toothed ships and use them as their own flagships.
Countless players who stayed up late to watch the battle also seemed to vaguely guess that the Yellow River Fleet was likely to win. Lin Lei
A quarter of an hour's time. In a flash. At about five o'clock in the morning, the sky finally began to lighten, and there was no need to rely on the flames to determine where the ship was.
The players of the Yellow River Fleet, who were fighting bloodily, suddenly stopped fighting one by one in horror and looked blankly at the sea around them. The joy of victory vanished in an instant, replaced by horror.
Although it was only dawn, I couldn't see it clearly. But there were hundreds of black shadows of masts erected around them. Undoubtedly a huge fleet. These fleets did not ignite any flames, and at the moment they surrounded the Yellow River Fleet silently - the Bohai Fleet did not throw all its ships into battle last night. And only the 1st formation, the skeleton fleet, and the Bohai Alliance fleet at the front. The remaining 2nd, 3rd and 4th formations, a total of 150 ships, did not enter the battle.
However, these more than 220 ships almost consumed as many as 370 ships of the Yellow River Fleet, leaving only 500 fighting ships in the Yellow River Fleet. The remnants of the Yellow River Fleet surrounded the three Sanyalou ships and five or six fighting ships of the Bohai Fleet. Meantime. They have also been surrounded by three huge formations in the remaining part of the Bohai Fleet.
The Bohai Fleet now has an absolute advantage, and the three formations have caught the Yellow River Fleet from three directions, and it is absolutely impossible to escape. Fight to the death or surrender.
The fighting on the sea ceased completely. After a night of fighting, the tired players involuntarily put down their weapons and leaned on the boat to rest. Now it's a battle or a surrender. It depends on the attitude of the leaders.
The player leaders of the six forces of the Yellow River Fleet looked at each other. Will you fight or surrender?
Fight down. It's defeat. Surrender is also defeat. The only difference between the two is that the losses from surrender are a little smaller.
The leaders were silent for a long time.
"What should I do?"
"Go to the Bohai Fleet and talk to Xiaobai about the conditions. If the talks are closed, then the battle will end here. If you can't talk about it, alas"
The flagship of the Yellow River Fleet raised the white flag and asked for an abortive of the war and negotiations.
The Bohai Fleet agreed.
The fleets of both sides stopped firing at each other and remained in their positions. If you talk about it, then the war is over. If you can't talk about it, you will continue to fight in this position until one side completely succumbs.
Then the two sides began to dispatch a large number of small boats to rescue the wounded from the broken ground fighting ships and driftwood in the sea. A night of naval battles in which at least tens of thousands of NPC soldiers and players fell overboard. Many of them are still alive, relying on driftwood and hulls that have not yet fully sunk to survive. In addition, there are a large number of property that has not sunk to the bottom of the water, which can also be salvaged to minimize losses.
Zhou Shui's 3rd formation, on the general flagship.
Qin Xiaobai, Bloody Killing, Lonely, Qin II, I Do My Own Thing, and other leaders of the Bohai Alliance, stood on the bow deck to greet the six leaders of the Yellow River Fleet who took the initiative to come to "discuss and negotiate". I didn't sleep all night, but the leaders were still full of energy and didn't seem to be tired.
Although he won the battle, the pirate leader had a miserable look on his face, and he was heartbroken that his fleet, the fleet of 50 skeletons, and the NPC pirate soldiers on it were almost all destroyed in one go. It can really be regarded as a hard struggle for more than half a year, and he returned to the pre-liberation period overnight. This loss is not a little bit.
It's not just him, but the leaders of the Bohai Alliance, such as Loneliness, Qin II, and Asceticism, none of them have a wry smile on their faces. Their thousands of NPC sailors, as well as the 20 light and heavy fighting ships they spent money on from the Zhoushui Shipyard, were almost all reimbursed in this naval battle. Even if the ship did not sink, it suffered heavy damage.
Qin Xiaobai's losses were no lighter than theirs. The 50 fighting ships of the 1st Formation of Zhoushui are the earliest naval fleet, the most well-trained, the most well-equipped, and the most powerful in combat effectiveness. But in this battle, it was all reimbursed. In addition, two Sanyalou ships were sunk, and the losses were even more incalculable.
However, no matter how big the loss, they are the winners. The winner means that they are able to make up for all the losses in the battle from the hands of the loser. Otherwise, what are they fighting for? It's better to go home and farm.
Mengjin, Guandu, Puyang, Jinan, Jibei, and Xiangping, the leaders of the five Yellow River forces and one Liaodong force were undoubtedly the most depressed. The fleets they had carefully built for a long time were almost all wiped out, and the remaining ten fighting ships of each family were still surrounded by Zhou Shui's three fleets.
The losses of this war alone are enough for them to vomit blood. And the "compensation" after the war made them vomit blood and continue to vomit blood. Of course, vomiting blood is uncomfortable, but it's better than being killed and kicked out.
On the deck of Zhou Shui's flagship, a large negotiation table was set up with several small tables. The eight leaders of the Bohai Alliance and the six leaders of the Yellow River camp shook hands and sat at each end. As for the dozens of men on both sides, they stood behind each other.
Qin Xiaobai looked at the six leaders of the Yellow River camp and said directly: "It is a great honor to be able to discuss the issue of peacefully resolving this conflict with the six leaders of the Yellow River camp. With regard to the conditions for peace talks between the Bohai Alliance and the Yellow River camp, after the Bohai Alliance discussed it, there was already an agreement called the "Bohai and Yellow River Agreement." If you agree, then we will implement this agreement. ”
The bloody slaughter behind him took out fourteen agreements and handed them to the eight leaders of the Bohai Alliance and the six leaders of the Yellow River camp for reference.
