Chapter 276: Shoot and Run

When the so-called narrow road meets, the brave wins, when the gentleman king chooses not to change course and rushes straight to the imperial reinforcements. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, the battle between the six warships and the Second Fleet of the Empire was no longer a battle between the two sides over artillery fire.

The real battle lies in the momentum of both sides, and whoever can take advantage of the momentum will occupy the initiative.

The Second Fleet's behavior of firing first has already shown that they are psychologically weaker than six warships.

At the moment when the cannon sounded, the momentum of the imperial side weakened.

When the six warships were under cannon fire, they were so undaunted that they continued to approach.

The group of soldiers of the Second Fleet, who felt that they were the strongest fleet in the Empire, were instantly shocked by the momentum of the six warships.

Even after the first round of artillery fire, some of the soldiers on the ships forgot to reload their shells, completely forgetting about the need to continue the shelling.

This situation really embarrassed Laurie, and quickly organized the soldiers to continue firing at the six warships.

However, a brief pause in artillery fire had already sent six warships to a very close range.

At the order of the gentleman king, six warships fired together at the lead ship of the Second Fleet.

Seeing tongues of fire erupting from the muzzles of the guns on the six warships, Laurie hurriedly exclaimed at the moment when the cannons rang out: "Raise the magic energy cover, hurry up." ”

Laurie's order was shouted, and the magic shields of all the Second Fleet's garments rose at the same time.

The cannon fire of the six warships bombarded the magic energy shield, but it was not able to penetrate the magic energy shield directly.

Seeing that this ship of the Empire actually had such a strong defensive power, the Gentleman King understood that he was afraid that this batch of ships would be difficult to deal with.

The gentleman king was also a very decisive man, and immediately ordered: "The whole army retreats, quickly turn the rudder, we rush to the left, and kill out." ”

In fact, after seeing the arrival of the Second Fleet, the ships of the forward fleet, which had been scattered, were also quickly reorganized.

The forward fleet lined up on the sea and blocked the retreat of the six warships, intending to give the six warships a dead end.

It's just that the plan of the forward fleet has been seen by the gentleman king, and the gentleman king is very decisive and chooses to break through from the left, that is, he takes a fancy to the unstable formation on the left side of the vanguard fleet, and the ships over there are relatively weak and sparse, and the six warships break through from the left with all their might, in the eyes of the gentleman king, it should be able to break through successfully.

Neither the Second Fleet nor the Forward Fleet expected that the six warships would choose to retreat so decisively after the attack was blocked.

Laurie quickly came to his senses and ordered directly to the fleet: "Quick, catch up with me, and fire to stop them." ”

At the same time, Laurie yelled to the soldiers who gave the order: "Immediately send a light to the forward fleet, and order them to stop those six ships at all costs." ”

The lights on the main ship of the Second Fleet came out, but the forward fleet did not react immediately.

Today's forward fleet has lost its main ship, and without a commander, each ship is almost in a state of fighting on its own.

Seeing the light on the main ship of the Second Fleet, some of the ships naturally quickly leaned towards the left flank.

But more of the ships of the Forward Fleet did not move, but stayed where they were, not following the orders conveyed by the lanterns.

Seeing the more than 30 ships that survived the forward fleet, half of them did not follow the order.

Laurie suddenly roared angrily: "These bastards, dare to disobey, I think they are impatient to live, they are really looking for death." ”

The commander of the Second Fleet, Laurie, in addition to being strict in governing the army, also has a very bad characteristic, that is, he is very irritable.

It can be said that both the enemy and the friendly army know very well that once Laurie starts a fire, he will simply not recognize his six relatives.

Seeing that Laurie was about to get angry, Lehman, who was traveling with him, hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "General, now is not the time to punish, we still have to concentrate our forces to deal with those provocative guys." ”

I have to say that Lehman's words still calmed down Laurie and understood the current situation.

The current situation is already very unfavorable for the imperial side, and if you punish those defeated armies, I am afraid that it will really lead to a mutiny.

If it really caused the forward fleet to mutiny, then the imperial fleet would completely lose face this time.

Thinking of this, Laurie calmed down and ordered directly to the herald: "Immediately order the ships on the left flank to catch up, don't let them escape." ”

Listening to Laurie's order, Lehman breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the six warships galloping on the sea, Lehman was still faintly worried.

The current situation is very unstable, and it has to be said that the surprise attack of six warships has disrupted all the plans of the original imperial army.

Originally, Floy's plan was to let Stuart take over the command of the Imperial fleet and take the opportunity to let the Imperial fleet rest for a few days.

After that, Stewart led his troops to attack Dragon City, but it was inevitable that he would still return in vain, and Floy would regain the command of the army again.

But now, the appearance of six warships has planned all the plans, and the imperial side is caught off guard.

The most critical problem is that the Imperial Fleet responded to the battle in a panic, and actually let the other side cripple the reconstituted forward fleet again.

In the previous attack, the vanguard fleet had already been crippled by the defenders of Dragon City once.

The ships and soldiers of the current forward fleet were formed on the basis of the surviving ships and the replenishment of various fleets.

Although it was a new army, its combat effectiveness was still guaranteed, and it was originally intended to be used as the first batch of offensive ships.

But now he didn't have time to attack, and was directly disabled by the opponent's six warships, such a result, not to mention Lehman, even Floy, who had been in charge of the imperial fleet for many years, was completely caught off guard, and there was no way to recover the decline at that time.

And the Second Fleet was forced to attack, saying that it was to rush to the aid of the forward fleet, but it was better to regain the last bit of face of the Empire.

After all, the opponent's six warships crippled the forward attacking team with nearly fifty large and small ships.

If this allows the other party to go back unscathed, it will be too great a blow to the morale of the imperial army.

Therefore, the attack of the Second Fleet was actually a helpless move, and even Lehman felt that they should not be allowed to attack at all.

However, now that Floy is no longer the commander, Stewart has given the order, and Lehman and Laurie can only bite the bullet.

Now, seeing that the six warships could not fight the Second Fleet, they actually chose to break through and retreat, and Lehman and Laurie naturally couldn't let them leave calmly.

The ships on the left flank of the Second Fleet received orders and quickly pursued the six ships, and the other ships of the Second Fleet also turned their bows.

The continuous artillery fire overwhelmingly bombarded the six warships, trying to block the breakthrough route of the six warships.

It's a pity that the speed of the six warships at sea was extremely fast, despite the fact that the shelling of the artillery covered a very wide area.

However, the space on the sea surface is too vast to cover it all with dense artillery fire.

Therefore, with their extremely high speed, the six warships avoided the artillery fire of the Imperial fleet and rushed to the left flank of the forward fleet blocking the way. (To be continued.) )
