153. Operation failed
"I see it."
Kerwin waved his hand to interrupt what his subordinate was trying to say, and he began to weigh the pros and cons of whether to continue the attack or retreat to the back.
Ten third-order ships came to meet them, and in addition to one that was sunk, the remaining nine ships were also hit by various blows and were rapidly retreating in the direction of the island.
"Boss, let's chase it, there are still several ships in them that are already bloody, as long as they take one or two more shots, they will definitely be able to sink them."
"Yes, let's chase it, if the enemy's ship sinks once, there will be one less, even if we fight for two shots, we will earn it."
Not only the people of the original Blood Shark Guild were eager to fight, but also the members of the Holy England Guild were also full of thoughts of catching up at this time, and they all opened their mouths to persuade them.
Seeing that the members below were so strong in seeking battle, Kerrwin couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he remembered Wang Hao's advice before leaving, if he must not enter the range of coastal defense artillery fire, the idea of pursuing was a little shaken.
"Boss, it's too late if you don't chase it."
Will jumped a little anxiously beside him, he could imagine that if he went back like this, that lewd guy would be lucky enough to pick up a head, if he didn't, he would definitely be laughed to death by that guy, "Boss, let's go back like this, I'm afraid we will be underestimated by the guy opposite." ”
The guy on the other side of Will's mouth refers to the old rival Fink, but in Kerrwin's ears, he thinks of Wang Hao and others in the back, who led the entire elite fleet out, and only went back with the record of sinking an enemy ship, and it is inevitable that no one will say anything strange.
"Don't go too deep, pull out of formation, and after sinking the few ships in front of you with little blood, start to turn around immediately."
Although Wang Hao has always emphasized how powerful the shore defense artillery is, he has never seen it with his own eyes, and Kirwin is still skeptical.
Despite this, he made some targeted arrangements, such as separating the ships from each other, warning the people not to go deep into the range of the shore defense guns, and planning to sink a few more ships before starting to sail back.
The elite fleet dispersed according to the order, and suddenly advanced forward like a wild horse on the loose.
Piloting his beloved ship, Fink aimed at a bloody ship in front of him, and after about 5 seconds, he launched a cannonball.
Three cannon shots rang out in a row, and his vision was obscured by the smoke of gunpowder from the muzzle of the cannon.
When the smoke cleared, he saw that the ship in front of him was still safe and sound, and he couldn't help but take a light breath and began to reload.
Gotta get rid of the ship, Fink said to himself.
Not long ago, he got the news that Will's guy had just sunk an enemy ship, and he couldn't be compared.
Although he can't remember the feud with Will now, it's just that with the subsequent battles, it seems to have become a habit, integrated into their respective lives, and even if they are teammates now, they can't erase their competitive spirit.
"Boom!"
An unusually loud voice suddenly rang out on the other side of the battlefield.
Fink looked up at the sound in surprise and saw a black ball of iron flash in front of him.
Bang!
It was a louder sound than before, accompanied by sparks and sawdust flying in the sky.
All the players who saw this scene were collectively reduced to stone sculptures, and a second-order ship full of blood was actually shot in front of their eyes.
"Cerf...... The ship has more than 500 durability, how can it be ......" The man's face was full of incredulity.
More than 500 durability was lost in one shot, which is simply a myth in the eyes of current players.
"It was hit in the vital part, and the damage was doubled, and even so, the damage of the coastal defense artillery was more than two hundred."
Kirwin muttered softly, and the sequel gasped, he finally knew why Wang Hao didn't let them enter the range of the shore defense artillery.
With the current player's strength, being hit by a shore defense cannon is basically a matter of death with one or two shots.
"Retreat, speed retreat."
Kirwin's voice was a little out of tune in utter remorse, and was soon drowned out by the sound of more cannon fire.
Columns of water the size of a basin appeared on the surface of the sea, one after another.
There were also unlucky guys who were hit, and basically got grazed by shells as if they had been stripped of a shell, and that layer of defense was like paper paste.
Several ships, which were already bloody, were simply destroyed by a single shot.
In the eyes of the members of the elite fleet, this is simply a nightmare, who would have thought that a teammate who was still alive in the blink of an eye would instantly turn into a pile of debris.
Under this attack alone, 5 ships of the elite fleet were sunk and 4 were seriously damaged.
Again, due to the problem of angles, only half of the shore defense guns in this round of shelling were powerful, otherwise the losses of the elite fleet would have been even greater.
"Retreat, push out."
Many players were stunned by the fierce artillery fire just now, and it was not until the sound of retreat sounded around them that they came back to their senses, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became very complicated.
There are also some players who have a pessimistic mood in their hearts, how can they capture this base with such strong enemy firepower.
At this time, the French naval fleet, which had been hidden, also sorted, and after receiving the wounded ships and retreating, they were chasing the elite fleet.
The formation of the elite fleet was already very open, coupled with the fierce artillery attack just now, in order to avoid the attack, everyone could be said to have exhausted all means, but in this way, the formation was even more messy.
In such a situation, even if the elite fleet still occupies a large number of people, it is impossible to match the French naval detachment.
"Retreat, retreat towards the intended place."
Kirwin yelled in pain, he knew very well that although the power of the coastal defense guns was great, the reloading speed was slow, and during this time, they were completely able to withdraw from the attack range of the shore defense guns, and now the biggest threat to them was the French navy in front of them.
The ships of the French navy were faster, they lost their formation, and the elite fleet was absolutely powerless in front of the opposing side, and if this development continued, it was likely that they would be killed by the enemy before they could withdraw to the intended location.
"After leaving a few people to accompany me, everyone else will withdraw."
Looking at the old guy who had been following him closely, Kirwin's mood gradually calmed down, and the main problem now was to minimize the loss as much as possible.
Only by sending some men to delay this French navy for a while can the others have a chance to escape.
As the commander of this battle, Kerwin must be held accountable for the mistakes he has made, and this is what he really thinks at the moment.
The dozen or so ships around it are the real backbone of the Blood Shark Guild, and even in the most chaotic moments, they have been following Kirwyn and are the only team that retains its formation.
"Hey, how can you let the boss break the queen, our brother is not dead yet!"
"Isn't it just a small loss to eat NPCs, and it's not a big deal, go back and clean up, let's kill it back and get back to the field."
"I ......"
Listening to the comfort of the next group of brothers, Kirwin, who has always prided himself as an iron man, couldn't help but feel a feeling of hot eyes.
"Okay, boss, we know what you want to say, isn't it just a broken back, twenty minutes later, we will be a good man again, boss, don't forget to reimburse us for the repair fee then."
Seeing that there was still hesitation in Kerrwin's eyes, someone broke the news.
"Boss, this is the first time we have cooperated with the people of Saint-England, if even you are hung up, there is no one on our side to preside, I am afraid that this operation will really be over."
After listening to this, Kerrwyn thought about it carefully, it was really like this, considering the overall situation, he really couldn't die here.
"Brothers, take care."
Kirwyn was not a mother-in-law, and since he realized that he had a reason not to die here, he arranged for a few other old brothers to break off, and he himself stepped back first, and kept shouting, hoping to reorganize the disorganized elite team.
Watching seven or eight ships line up in a line, they rushed towards the French navy that was approaching at a rapid pace.
Kirwin resisted the thought of turning the ship's bow and shouted the order to return to the group.
I have to say that this trick still has some effect.
After hearing that familiar voice, many players who seemed to be flying around seemed to have found the backbone and quickly returned to the man's command.
They were all elite forces of the two families, they were just too flustered just now, and when they calmed down, they couldn't help but blush a little because of their performance just now.
The members returned one after another, and the retreat continued.
Originally, their plan was to deceive and lure the enemy out, but this time it turned out to be a real defeat.
This makes many players feel aggrieved.
It didn't take long for the French fleet to catch up after destroying the ships behind the palace.
This made Kirwin feel the pressure and relieved, although the loss was a bit big, but at least they were able to complete the plan.
Maintain this speed, as long as you wait another minute or two, the French navy behind you will not be able to run away if you want to.
But at this time, the French navy actually stopped the pursuit and began to turn around.
Seeing this scene, Kirwin had the urge to vomit blood, Lao Tzu has worked so hard to take you to run so far, and when you see that it is about to be harvested, you actually ran away?
"Catch up and entangle them."
While issuing the order, he sent people back to report, hoping to get help from the main fleet.
Strangely, this French naval detachment seems to have seen through the opponent's conspiracy, and even if it fights to take a few more shots, it will start to retreat.
At this time, the outflanking manpower sent by the Holy Blood Fleet had not yet arrived, and the speed of the ships of Kirwin and the others was not comparable to that of the French Navy, so they could only watch the opponent slip away from their eyes.
A few minutes later, Kerwin came to Wang Hao with some shame, "The mission failed, I ......" (to be continued.) )
