Chapter 277: Friend or Foe
The gentleman king stood at the bow of the ship, looking at everything on the sea, looking at the embankment of Dragon City in the distance, and his joy was overflowing at this moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The result of this initiative attack is really gratifying, and it can be said that the gentleman king and their six warships have achieved unexpected results.
The forward fleet of the Imperial Army, more than fifty ships large and small, was sunk by six warships, and more than twenty ships.
Moreover, even the main ship of the forward fleet was sunk, and it can be said that this battle will inevitably deal a heavy blow to the Empire.
Even though the empire still has a huge fleet, with nearly a thousand large and small ships, it has completely fallen behind in terms of momentum.
The gentleman king turned his head to look behind him, and saw hundreds of ships behind him, and quickly chased after them.
At this moment, the gentleman king was even thinking in his heart: It is better to turn around and have a head-on battle with the imperial pursuers, even if they die at sea, it will inevitably completely blow the fighting spirit of the empire, so that the imperial fleet will not even dare to have thoughts about Dragon City anymore, so that the imperial fleet can truly see the strength of their Dragon City defenders.
However, despite this thought, the gentleman king did not choose to do so, because he knew very well that it was dangerous.
After all, on the six warships, there are other soldiers, most of them were born in Dragon City, and there are still their families waiting for them to return in Dragon City.
I think that when I first engaged the Imperial Fleet, many of the officers and men of the first naval battle fell into the sea during the battle.
There were also some soldiers who had no time to dodge and were killed by artillery fire and stray arrows, and the gentleman king still felt a little guilty in his heart.
Letting those soldiers who don't understand naval warfare join the battle is indeed the gentleman king's previous lack of consideration, which will lead to so many casualties in the beginning.
Although after that, he stabilized the battle formation and the morale of the army, and achieved a glorious record of crippling the Imperial Forward Fleet.
But he still can't make up for the lives lost, and the gentleman king still has that sense of guilt in his heart.
Therefore, although the gentleman king wanted to turn the bow of the ship and go back to fight with the imperial fleet, he still gave up when he thought of the soldiers on the ship.
Suddenly, the sea was rough, and the rising waves seemed to swallow everything, and all the ships at sea were hit by the huge waves.
The sea seemed to be really angry, and wanted to smash all the warships that disturbed her peace at sea.
The sudden appearance of huge waves on the surface of the sea hindered the offensive of the Imperial Fleet, even as the Second Fleet pursued the six warships.
However, under the lapping of the huge waves, there was still no way to catch up with the six warships quickly, and there was no way to suppress them with artillery fire.
Just as the gentleman king was thinking about how to retreat, he suddenly heard the helmsman of the ship report to him: "My lord, the wind and waves on the sea are too strong, if we continue to move to the left, the ship may capsize, we should not continue to charge to the left, I think we should change the course and go straight back to Dragon City to avoid the wind and waves." ”
The gentleman king knew very well that he did not know much about sailing on the sea, so when the helmsman spoke, he fell into deep thought.
Tsai thought carefully for a long time, and weighed the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and us on the sea now.
In the end, the gentleman king could only order: "Turn the bow of the ship at once, we will rush from the front, and give those imperial ships another blow." ”
As soon as the gentleman's order was given, the lantern bearer put on put on and whispered to the ship next to him.
Immediately afterwards, the six warships suddenly turned as they rapidly advanced, not giving the Imperial fleet that was blocking ahead any chance to react.
But hearing the roar of the gentleman king: "Open the cannon, we will rush over from the front." ”
The next moment, the cannon fire from the six warships was fired in unison, and in an instant, an Imperial ship was sunk.
The breakthrough was blasted open, and the six warships did not hesitate at all, charging in the direction of the dragon with all their might.
The Empire's forward fleet, which had already been crippled, was now caught off guard by the sudden turn of the rudder of six warships.
In an instant, the entire forward fleet fell into chaos, and seeing the six warships blast open the gap, they were about to break through the blockade of the forward fleet.
Seeing such a situation in the forward fleet, the officers and men of the Second Fleet, who were chasing after him, couldn't help but curse angrily.
Laurie also roared angrily: "Bastards, these bastards, actually let people go like this." ”
Lehman was also helpless, and wanted to persuade Laurie a few words, but he didn't know how to persuade him.
The performance of the forward fleet was so unbearable that it was crippled by the enemy, not to mention that so many ships could not stop six warships.
Laurie saw that the six warships were getting farther and farther away, and finally couldn't help but order: "Open the cannon, fire the cannon for me." ”
Lehman was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped Laurie: "General, if you fire the cannon now, you will suffer along with the forward fleet." ”
Laurie directly pushed Lehman away, pointed to the six warships that were about to rush out of the forward fleet in front of him and shouted: "Look for yourself, they are already about to escape, and at this time you still take care of those timid and afraid waste? Did you see it?
In Laurie's roar, Lehman endured everything hard, and could only nod to Laurie and say, "General, I saw it." ”
Lehman shouldn't have to confront Laurie again, so he could only let Laurie give the order and watch the guns of the ships of the Second Fleet raise.
With Laurie's order, the moment the cannon roared, Lehman watched, and a fire flickered on the sea.
The ships that survived the forward fleet, who were not sunk by the six warships that rushed out of Dragon City, were now sunk by artillery fire from the Imperial side.
The forward fleet soon resounded with a burst of cries, and the angry curses of the Imperial soldiers could be faintly heard in the sound of artillery fire.
Obviously, the officers and men of the forward fleet did not expect that they would die under the fire of their own fleet.
The six warships were also shocked by the sight in front of them, and the gentleman king scolded angrily: "Damn bastards, these bastards of the Empire are really ruthless. ”
Originally, the speed of the six warships was extremely fast, and it could be said that they could shuttle between the vanguard fleet.
And the pursuit of the Imperial fleet behind him will also be blocked by the forward fleet.
In the eyes of the gentleman king, although the imperial fleet is in hot pursuit, it must not dare to open fire.
But what I didn't expect was that the Imperial fleet completely ignored the friendly forces and fired directly at their side.
Six ships were very small, and it was not so easy to find them in the middle of the forward fleet.
However, the artillery fire of the Second Fleet of the Empire was very extensive, so the retreat of the six warships was still hindered by artillery fire.
The most important thing is that the ships of the forward fleet next to them were ignited and shattered under artillery fire, and all kinds of debris still affected the progress of the six warships.
In the blink of an eye, a sea of fire appeared in the forward, blocking the path of the six warships.
The gentleman king had no choice but to order: "All the ships are scattered, each finding a way to escape, be careful, to break out of the encirclement, not to fight." ”
Under the order of the gentleman king, the six warships dispersed in an instant, each of them ran away, shuttling through a sea of fire to find a way out. (To be continued.) )
