Chapter 109: Victory but Defeat

A kilometer away from the battleship "Liberty", the plumber's Black Pearl was being pursued by three fast cruisers.

The steel front fleet had already been completely scattered, three were completely sunk to the bottom of the sea, six were half-sunk to the surface, and the others were scattered.

Thousands of sailors struggled desperately at sea, trying to grab a qiē float.

If they are not rescued, except for some who can swim back to port, most of them will soon be taken away by the cold water, and finally sink into the bottomless blue abyss.

Naval warfare is not a land war, it seems not as bloody as a land war, but it is very cruel, the death rate is extremely high, and many famous admirals have died in naval battles.

The plumber stood at the stern of the ship, looking at the three fast cruisers in pursuit, and he could even see through his binoculars the reincarnation of the enemy ship.

The four battleships sailed in a straight line, and the enemy could only bombard them with the two guns in the bow, and he could not hurt his black pearl.

But the plumber was no longer able to turn, and as soon as he turned, he would inevitably be bombarded by a large number of naval guns from the enemy's side.

The plumbers could only be driven like ducks, getting farther and farther away from Charleston's harbor.

"Captain! Look over there! ”

The plumber's first mate pointed straight ahead, a massive battleship moving across the sea, the flagship of the Arbiter!

He slammed down on the guardrail, and the plumber's face turned extremely dark.

The team has already broken up, and he doesn't know where Lin Yifan's Black Pearl No. 2 has gone, and now the rest of the people have to fight on their own. Or flee to the harbor and use the shore defense artillery to force the enemy away.

Looking at the dense gun windows of the battleship ahead, the plumber suddenly felt his legs go limp. The scattered people and the big men of the group are completely one heaven and one place.

Just when the plumber thought it was over, a black frigate suddenly appeared from the side of the battleship.

"Huh?!"

The plumber stood up sharply and pulled out his monoculars to look: "My Black Pearl II?" ”

Seeing the Black Pearl II slow down and slowly follow behind the battleship, the scene in front of him made the plumber's brain unable to function for a while.

Just as the plumber wondered, could it be that Lin Yifan had defected to the enemy?

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the plumber watched in amazement as the arbiter of a second-class ship was shot off the spot, and the flames continued to roll into the sky, forming a mushroom cloud.

"My God, what the hell is ......this," the plumber rubbed his swarthy face vigorously and looked ahead with wide eyes.

At this time, when the St. George's cross flag was raised at the stern of the battleship, the plumber's eyes were about to pop out.

Thinking of Lin Yifan's previous weird expression, the plumber suddenly began to smirk: "Hey...... Hehe, how is it possible, this madman has surprised me again? ”

The plumber never thought that he would lend Lin Yifan a Black Pearl No. 2, and he would dare to play broadside battles with the enemy's battleships, and he would also capture nearly a thousand people, which was unbelievable.

And on the side, the flagship of the steel front was slowly leaning over, and the plumber saw this and shouted: "Drill into the sea area between the two battleships!" ”

"Captain?"

The plumber pushed away the helmsman, and he took the helm with excitement: "Go away, I'll come!" ”

The three fast cruisers following the Black Pearl II, the reincarnators on it were quite excited at first, and when they saw the Black Pearl heading towards their own battleship after chasing for a long time, they laughed at it for sending them to death.

But when the three fast cruisers noticed the cross flag at the stern of the ship and the direction of the battleship's side of the battleship, they were stunned for a moment.

"Captain, according to the observer's report, a battleship of the steel front has appeared on the port side of our side!"

The reincarnation who commanded this small fleet suddenly went blank in his mind when he heard this.

It wasn't until the battleship, a few hundred meters away, roared like a monster of the depths that the Arbiter member woke up.

"Run... Escape! ”

However, it was too late, and the battleship's broadside fifty-eight guns fired a salvo, like the roar of a giant beast, and a large amount of white smoke was spewed out.

Heavy solid bullets rolled and whizzed in mid-air, plunging headlong into the fast cruiser.

The solid bullet fired by the battleship was not a shell now loaded with explosives, but an iron ball that was fired by the artillery and then smashed people with kinetic energy and weight.

Although there was no explosion effect, it is conceivable that it was hit by an iron ball the size of a head, especially the iron ball moving at high speed, and the hull of the ship Atsugi and the people on the ship were basically smashed apart instantly.

Disgusting meat sauce mixed with broken wood, human wreckage littered the entire ship.

The three fast cruisers had no time to turn around, and they were caught between two huge battleships, and they did not react at all, and even the decision to counterattack was already sent to the bottom of the sea.

One was sunk, two of which were flagged white, apparently the reincarnation of the ship was cut to rotten flesh by solid bullets, and the morale of the two battleships without command collapsed.

Lin Yifan completely broke up the enemy's two fleets with a single battleship, and the remaining battleships of the arbiter had no intention of fighting.

In addition to the flagship's inexplicable convulsions to shoot their own people, their purpose has actually been achieved, sending the fleet of the steel front to the bottom of the sea.

Lin Yifan, who was on the battleship, looked into the distance, and the Arbiter fleet collapsed and evacuated in a mess.

"Don't you chase?" The poison island on the side asked in a low voice.

Lin Yifan chuckled and shook his head: "If you can't catch up, just scare and scare people on the battleship, the speed is too slow." ”

"What about them? How to deal with it. ”

Poison Island pointed to the eleven reincarnators in officer uniforms in front of him, as well as Liu Anfei, who was wearing an admiral.

Lin Yifan walked slowly in front of the twelve people, pulled out his handcuffs and shook them: "Okay, your reincarnation is over." ”

The twelve members of the arbiter on the ship, including Liu Anfei, were taken to the unmanned captain's room, handcuffed and brought back to prison.

As soon as he came, he handcuffed the naval commander of the arbiter camp and captured the enemy's battleship, but Lin Yifan couldn't be happy in his heart.

Because in three days, it will be difficult for the fleets of friendly steel fronts to be regrouped. It will take at least three days to buy warships and troops from the system before they can reach the port.

The situation was terrible, the local colonial infantry in Charleston had been conscripted and could not be bought indefinitely. The director now wants to recruit soldiers, and after buying it, he will return it and wait for the troop carrier to arrive.

Not to mention the battleships, the small town of Charleston does not have the ability to build large warships, and even if they do, it will take several years to build them, all of which are pulled from overseas by the system.

It can be said that the arbiter of this battle was ostensibly lost, and the flagship was captured. But it wiped out all the living forces on the steel front and at sea.

With two or three reincarnators in one ship, the sunken battleships combined, and about twenty members of the Iron Front died.

Without a reincarnation, there would be no one to command the battleship, and the number of people in command of a reincarnation is limited after all.

For those in the British camp, it was possible to re-recruit a large number of colonial soldiers unless they fought out and occupied another town.

The situation is still not optimistic.
