Chapter 46: The Disparity in Strength
"Report to the commander, the rebel ships are starting to change direction and rush towards us." Said an agent in a black suit.
Caesar nodded: "It seems that they have also come to their senses." Ready to fight? He rolled his eyes and suddenly asked, "What are the rebels' ships using to keep in touch with each other?" ”
"Report to the Commander, based on our detection, they are using the flag language to make contact." His agent replied.
"Oh? How can you still use such a primitive way to transmit information? Caesar thought for a moment, and his lips gradually rose: "Hahahaha, a group of fools, not only is they ignorant of military affairs but also have dirty equipment, so it's easier, pass on my order, all artillery aim at the main mast of the enemy ship to shoot, be sure to knock out the main mast of all ships at the first time!" ”
"Yes!" The agent gave a standard military salute and went down.
Caesar looked out the window of the captain's room at the group of enemy ships, and for the first time his eyes showed a clear fierce light.
Xiao Wanlong? Hehe, it's just an ant, but ants can bite people, so be sure to remove their fangs and claws. Aren't you using an original sailboat? Then I will knock out your mast, and without it you will lose power, just as a bird has lost its wings, and a horse has lost its hooves, and your ship will become an immobile ornament in an instant. Not only that, but on a sailing ship like this, the signal corps is generally arranged to work at the mainmast, because it is the highest place of a ship, and other ships can see most clearly when using the flag, so as long as you keep attacking the mainmast, you will no longer be able to use the flag to communicate with the ships, then your fleet will become deaf and blind! Deaf and blind and incapacitated, your fleet is like a piece of paper, just stay there and let me slaughter! Caesar was constantly thinking about it. He couldn't help but feel a little proud, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahahahaha...... Wait for your death! hahahahaha
Accompanied by his laughter, dozens of artillery pieces fired at Xiao Wanlong's fleet in unison, these guns are equipped with the most advanced biological thermal energy tracking system, which can accurately target strikes according to the heat generated in the biological body, and their range is more than 100 nautical miles, their destructive power and lethality are quite amazing, it is no exaggeration to say that these whistling shells are the death messengers brought by the Republic.
After a round of attacks, dozens of Xiao Wanlong's ships were sunk, and at this speed, these ships were all wiped out before they could reach the Republic fleet.
The generals of the original village had seen this very clearly for a long time, but none of them had any combat experience in this area. In the face of this sudden attack, I lost my mind for a while.
"Dashuai, what should we do? Two more ships were sunk. There are also several ships that have been completely paralyzed because their mainmasts have been knocked out, and they have become live targets for the enemy! ”
"Yes, Dashuai, I think let's go down first. We can't play such a thing as naval warfare, the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too big. If this continues, the brothers are afraid that they will be defeated. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't want to avenge the death of your old brothers? ”
"Of course, revenge must be avenged. But that has to be repaid with a life! Do you think I don't want revenge? Don't you understand the truth that you don't have to worry about the green mountains and no firewood? ”
"What? Say I don't understand? You bastard! ”
"You're the bastard!"
The generals were in a mess because of the question of whether to fight or withdraw, Xiao Wanlong looked at them, his eyes were full of anger, he braved the fierce attack of the enemy's artillery fire, suddenly stood up straight, and pulled out the sword at his waist: "Don't make any noise!" ”
His voice was really effective, and the generals who were still arguing just now and were about to make a move stopped suddenly.
Xiao Wanlong looked at them with his sword and said, "It's just a small fight on weekdays, but now it's still like this on the battlefield." You say that you have the name of a general, and you are still fighting in the nest of bandits. If we continue like this, we will not wait for the Republic to defeat us, and our own people will be destroyed first. Xiao Wanlong pointed his sword at the bow of the ship: "Your real enemy is over there, and that side is the bastard who killed your parents and brothers!" Don't forget the purpose of your visit, you just vowed to avenge your brother. Now it's a bunch of shrunken turtles, do you have a nest? ”
The people below stopped talking, they knew that Xiao Wanlong was right, the enemy had not yet come up with all his strength, and he was in chaos on his side, and such a battle would definitely be lost. If you lose this battle, not only will the revenge of your dead brother be avenged, but even you will be buried on this sea, and everything will lose its meaning.
"What do you say we should do?" Some generals asked.
Xiao Wanlong touched his beard with his left hand and said, "What should I do?" Hit! But you can't do it brutely, their weapons are too powerful, and my ship is too maneuverable, and if you rush head-on like this, I'm afraid it won't end well. ”
"Then we can fight back!" Some generals said.
Xiao Wanlong shook his head: "We only have bows and arrows, they are ironclad ships, not to mention that the range is not good, even if it is estimated, it will have no effect." ”
"Is there no way?" Everyone asked.
Xiao Wanlong looked at the enemy ship on the opposite side and said, "There are still ways, but we have to play some wild roads." His eyes narrowed as he spoke: "Although their ship is much better maneuverable than ours, it is still a big ship. Since it is a large ship, it will take some time to adjust the course at sea, and this time is what we can use. ”
As he said this, he threw his head up and shouted to the messenger on the mainmast, "Are you okay over there?" ”
"Dashuai, I'm fine here for the time being, but I may not be able to last long. The enemy has probably discovered that this ship is a command ship, and now they are concentrating their fire on us. The communications soldier stood at the top of the mast in the smoke of gunpowder, holding a telescope in one hand and a flag in the other.
Xiao Wanlong put away the sword in his hand and continued to shout: "Hold on a little longer, our chance to turn defeat into victory has come." Quickly order the remaining boats to lower all the lifeboats tied to the side of the boat. ”
Soon, the signal corps waved the flag according to Xiao Wanlong's meaning, and the rest of the ships also responded to the command ship's order.
"Dashuai, all the lifeboats have been put down, shall we also let this boat go?" The communications soldier asked from above.
Xiao Wanlong took out the binoculars and stared at it for a few seconds, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to release it first, I estimate that the enemy will be fooled soon." He turned to the generals beside him and said, "Hurry up and take out the bombs stored in the cabin, quick!" ”
Although the generals didn't know what kind of medicine Xiao Wanlong was selling in this gourd, they were still busy immediately.
Not far away, the Republic fleet soon noticed Xiao Wanlong's movements, and the agent who had been standing beside Caesar asked, "Commander, what are they doing here?" Is it to transport the wounded? Isn't transporting the wounded in such an environment of bullets and bullets looking for death? ”
"Huh, transporting the wounded? Where can it be so simple, I'm afraid that these guys who don't know how to fight are thinking about what the hell is the idea, right? Caesar said coldly: "Pass my order to concentrate fire on the boats laid down on the water, and destroy all of them if they are not left behind!" ”
When the agent heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "Commander, I'm afraid it's inhumane like this, right?" Anyway, these people are all wounded, right? If the soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness are killed completely..."
Touch! After a single shot, the agent, who had been speaking earlier, turned into a cold corpse and fell stiffly to the ground.
"Nothing else has to do with me except victory, so yours is all to me!" Caesar said as he put down the barrel of the black hole.
Several of the agents around were stunned by the unannounced shot, and they stood still and didn't even dare to make a sound.
Caesar looked up at the men and said, "Do I have to repeat my command?" Hurry up and execute it! ”
"Yes...... Be! The men quickly relented, and immediately shouted in unison. (To be continued......)
