"What kind of flag is that?" Using a telescope to see a black-background flag with a blood-colored sickle pattern suddenly rising on the enemy's flagship, Du Wei couldn't help but be a little surprised. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Hai, the captain of the Yanzhou in the bridge, also saw this flag, and shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it." However, the rise of this situation is gradually becoming clearer, which is probably not a good sign. ”

Du Wei felt the same way: "Maybe the enemy army wants to break the cauldron and sink the boat!" ”

"Your Excellency, what are we going to do?" Zhang Hai hurriedly asked.

Du Wei thought for a while and said: "I don't know how the enemy plans to break the cauldron and sink the boat, it is not appropriate to act rashly at this time, our army will first respond to all changes with the same, observe it, and then see you and dismantle it!" ”

Du Wei's decision was quite safe, and Zhang Hai didn't have any other good way, so he agreed.

In less than five minutes, Du Wei and Zhang Hai knew how the undead fleet planned to break the ship, and the officer in charge of the optical rangefinder on the Yanzhou hurriedly ran to the bridge and told Du Wei and Zhang Hai the news of the sudden acceleration of the enemy force!

"The enemy ship group suddenly began to pick up speed three minutes ago, and is now approaching our ship at a speed of fifteen knots per hour!" The officer said with a panicked face.

"Fifteen nautical miles per hour?" Du Wei's face immediately became gloomy, the speed knot is equal to how many nautical miles per hour can be sailed, approaching at a speed of fifteen knots per hour, it means that the enemy's speed has accelerated to fifteen knots! That's the same speed as the Empire's ironclad fleet! Considering that the Empire's ironclad fleet was advancing diagonally, and the enemy was charging with the bow straight, at the same speed, the distance advantage was soon not enough to maintain! If you want to keep your distance, you have to give up half of your firepower, turn on the enemy stern, and go full speed on the same course as the enemy!

"How is this possible? Didn't the Ministry of Intelligence say that the new warships of the rotten bones can only run a maximum of ten knots? And if they can run fifteen knots, why don't the rotten bones do it in the first place? But after the loss of several battleships? Zhang Hai asked incredulously.

"Xiao Zhang, the Intelligence Department is not omnipotent, and it is impossible to be clear about the data of enemy ships, which is understandable." Du Wei said calmly, "As for the rotten bones, why don't you increase the speed to fifteen knots at the beginning......

Speaking of this, Du Wei's eyes narrowed slightly: "Maybe it will cost you a lot to increase your speed by five knots!" ”

Zhang Hai's eyes lit up: "It is indeed very possible!" ”

"And no matter what the price of rotten bones will be, one thing is certain!" Du Wei continued, a sinister smile appeared on his face, "That's ...... The current speed cannot be maintained forever! ”

"That is, time is on our side?" Zhang Hai listened to this analysis and asked with surprise and joy.

"That's right!" Du Wei smiled and nodded, "As long as the time drags on, the victory will be ours!" ”

"Then let's turn the rudder to the left and meet the enemy completely with the stern?" Zhang Hai asked tentatively.

Du Wei smiled approvingly at him: "That's it, carry out the order!" Where are the other captains, I'll go and inform. ”

"No!" Zhang Hai gave a military salute and immediately gave the order to the navigator to adjust the course to be consistent with the enemy ship.

……

"Cunning humans! Cowardly humans! Despicable humans! ”

Seeing Du Wei's countermeasures, Xerxes was furious, and it seemed that he wanted to tear the commander of the enemy army alive!

"Lord Xerxes, we're done!" Utaniv may have suffered a loss from his subordinates, but he was much calmer, and at this time he just said with a face as earthy, "The process of forcibly accelerating is irreversible!" Whether we like it or not, we have no choice but to move at our current pace in less than an hour, and in an hour we will ......"

Utaniv didn't say what would happen in an hour, but at this time, anyone with a normal IQ knew what the consequences were!

"I'm not going to be tied! Never! Xerxes yelled.

Utaniv gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to, Lord Xerxes, to be wiped out without even a single enemy ship being sunk, I will never accept this result!" ”

Xerxes nodded his head heavily, his eyes looking around the battlefield, the seeker himself might have attacked the target, and only a moment later, he found it!

Flying Shear Detachment! That shear fleet is the best target!

Although the maximum speed of the clipper can reach fifteen knots, this is at full sail, and if the wind direction is unfavorable, its speed will be greatly reduced! This is the case with traditional sailing ships, whose speed is unstable compared to magic propulsion or steam-powered boats, and this is its most fatal weakness!

And at this time, the wind direction was not very favorable to the flying shear fleet, in order to avoid the pursuit of the twenty magic warships of the undead fleet detachment, they had to give up the favorable wind direction and turn to escape, not to mention the speed at this time, not to mention fifteen knots, not even ten knots, just barely keep a distance from the pursuing undead fleet detachment!

"Order the detachment to also turn on the magic energy to speed up, and drive the enemy sail battle fleet to our main fleet as much as possible!" Xerxes immediately gave the order.

"Lord Xerxes is really brave and strategic, so the enemy ironclad fleet can only turn around and chase after it in order to rescue the sail fleet! Our army will be able to get close to them! Utaniv said excitedly, giving Xerxes a thumbs up.

Xerxes smiled cruelly and turned his gaze to the Flying Shear fleet.

……

"Your Excellency, the enemy's main fleet has given up chasing our ironclad fleet and is rushing towards our department at full speed!" On Yue Shi Niang's ship, the adjutant was reporting to Yue Shi Niang with a worried face.

Yue Shi Niang did not make a decision immediately, but held the telescope to observe for a while, and then frowned and said: "The enemy's main force is not charging with all its strength, but keeping its back hand!" On the surface, it rushed towards our detachment at full speed, but in fact, it opened the array, obviously wanting to suddenly close the distance between it and the ironclad fleet when our ironclad fleet came back to save it! ”

"Ugh." The adjutant was stunned, he didn't notice this.

"The enemy's drunkenness is not in the wine!" Yue Shi Niang sneered.

"So what are we going to do?"

Yue Shi Niang frowned and thought quickly, and after a while, she shook her lips and made up her mind!

"Use the terminal to send a letter to Commander Du Wei, telling them not to look back! Delay the task of pinning down the enemy forces and leave it to us! Yue Shi Niang said resolutely.

The adjutant was taken aback by this order, and his voice trembled: "Your Excellency, this is an enemy on both sides in the case of a speed disadvantage!" We are just sailboats, how can we do such a difficult thing? ”

"No! If you can't do it, you have to do it! It's just that Yue Shi Niang has already made up her mind, "The ironclad fleet is the future of the empire, rather than putting them in danger, it is better for us, the sailing ships that are about to be eliminated, to take this risk!" Even if the whole army is annihilated, as long as you can pull the main fleet of rotten bones to accompany the burial, it will be worth it! ”

The adjutant was moved by Yue Shi Niang's perseverance and determination, he did not hesitate any longer, and immediately sent Yue Shi Niang's intention to Du Wei.

"Shi Niang is crazy!" This was Du Wei's first reaction after receiving the news, "How can you only rely on sail warships to fight against the same number of cutting-edge magic warships when they are inferior in speed?" ”

"Then we don't accept it?!" Zhang Hai asked.

"Of course!" Du Wei said without hesitation, "The battleship was built to ~ withstand the flames of war, how can there be a reason to die to the friendly army in order to protect such an iron shell?!" Order the entire fleet to turn around and go to the rescue of Admiral Yue! ”

At this time, Yue Shi Niang's flying shear detachment had been chased within six kilometers by the pursuing detachment of the undead fleet, and the magic guide cannon, which had been silent since the beginning of the battle, finally had a chance to fire, and they couldn't wait to shoot towards the flying shear detachment!

In the face of the enemy's unmistakable light-speed artillery fire, the Imperial fleet's battle losses in this battle have finally appeared!

Almost at the same moment, the five shear warships that were broken were hit by the burst of magic guide beams, igniting a raging fire!

Seeing this scene, Yue Shi Niang's eyes were red, she pulled out her command knife, pointed at the enemy ship and roared hoarsely: "Fire!" Revenge for the dead brothers! ”
