The high altitude was covered by thick smoke, two long gray snakes traversed the sea, and the combat formations of the two sides tacitly pointed the side towards the enemy, and then poured firepower, and the hull was seriously damaged and retreated, waiting for the transport ship to send supplies and supplies, which is a boring tactic comparable to "lining up to shoot", relying only on endurance and the situation to determine the victory.

In reality, however, it is just as useful as "lining up to shoot", a tactic used by the Empire and the Kingdom Alliance against various small nations and principalities almost without incident, in order to maximize the superiority of national power.

Intrigue means taking risks, and the great prince who presided over this war does not need it, for him victory and small defeat can be done, but overthrow cannot bear it.

As long as he appeared on the front line of the Battle of Bonna, he had already completed his statement to the nobility of the fiefdom of the New World, the political concept is change, the attitude is acceptance, the essence is very simple, and the change will undoubtedly make the empire tilt towards the New World.

The reason for the start of the war was the distribution of interests in the New World, but personally, the first interest of the Grand Prince was to inherit the throne, for which he needed to come over and "take a stand", and the port of Bru and the new route were not so important in his eyes.

Even if there is a small defeat, the empire will temporarily lose the right to open up new routes, but the Bona sea is located about 500 nautical miles north of the public port of Prager, which is theoretically in the territorial waters of the empire, and with the imperial fleet watching from the sidelines, it will be difficult for the kingdom to open up operations.

"Unless the Duke mutinies."

On the flagship, the Grand Prince sat in the captain's room and pondered, he had already received the news that the Watchman had docked in Harbor Pragg for two days, after all, the Imperial Intelligence Service was not a waste.

"Your Highness, the killing move prepared by the kingdom is not the victory or defeat of the war, but the desire for you to retreat without a fight, I even suspect that the first-class ship was deliberately docked for two days, as for the Duke's problem, our intelligence system has not found anything abnormal."

A young man dressed in aristocratic attire said that he was a member of the prince's staff, and that in the case of the eldest prince's accession to the throne, he would inherit his father's title of court nobility in the future, and was destined to go further.

"Rice and wheat?"

"The harvest is not yet complete."

The eldest prince's frowning brow was significantly softened.

In fact, he was also a little tormented to stay on the front line, because he had to give the war a result, and he could neither retreat without a fight, nor be defeated, the former was cowardly, the latter was incompetent, and the former was much more harmful than that.

The old and new continents are already weak because of the distance and the sea, and the fiefdom nobles will not trust a leader who has no sense of responsibility, which means not to use their subordinates to take the blame.

The emperor is far away, and they can completely give up a part of their interests, non-violent and non-cooperative.

"It's as if I've been walking on the ice in early winter all these years."

The eldest prince sighed, only in front of his most trusted staff, he would sigh a few words.

The young man bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me for my unprofitable disadvantage, only death can bring you a cold winter." ”

The eldest prince smiled and pointed to the staff, but didn't say anything.

A cold winter means failure, but also a safe and secure face that is not afraid of the ice cracking.

He will never have the confidence of his father, the other party is a knight with a title, a freak in the history of the royal family, and his qualifications are good enough to use his spare time to deal with official business.

Even the people of the Kingdom League can only sour and slander the "Knight Emperor".

The eldest prince clapped his hands and stood up, and asked, "Do you have a chance of winning?" ”

The staff replied, "Not necessarily. ”

The eldest prince rubbed his cheeks, regained his solemnity and composure, and ordered in an unquestionable tone:

"Then send a few fifth-class ships for the Noels to bomb them, my purpose has been achieved, it's time to leave and return to Galoa Harbor."

"Yes."

……

The nautical formation entered, located on the 535 at the forefront, and Mu Yun used [Cole's glasses] to clearly see the ships that were bombarding in the distance.

The enemy has a total of 17 fifth-class ships, 9 fourth-class ships, 3 third-class ships, and 1 second-class flagship, which is about the same number for the enemy.

Both sides have invested more than 10,000 naval forces, which is a force that can bring down the coasts of a small country.

Due to his direct involvement in a lot, coupled with the leakage of Kane's side, Mu Yun knew that in order to disrupt the progress of the empire's transformation, the kingdom had prepared at least two swords for the eldest prince.

The first knife was the docking of the support formation at the port of Prager.

If the Grand Prince retreats due to the news, then the nobles of the New World fiefdom are destined to be disappointed in him, and the relationship between this force and the center is quite delicate.

The second knife lies in the duke's mobilization.

If the eldest prince chooses the best solution - a small defeat, then the duke's actions will make it impossible for the other party to dock at Galoa, the largest port in the south of the empire, even if the eldest prince insists on going his own way, his subordinates will never agree, no one dares to bet on the duke's real goal, even the kingdom only believes half of the duke, after all, he is the grandfather of the second prince.

And the port of Galoa is the cornerstone of the empire's competition for new routes, but the port without the protection of ships is unable to deal with the attack organized by the two formations of the kingdom, and the loss of Galoa, the great prince will turn from a small defeat to a big defeat, because he makes the empire lose the opportunity to compete for new routes, and will also disappoint those fiefdom nobles.

As for whether there is a third knife, Mu Yun doesn't know, he is just a captain, and the sources of intelligence are half-blind and half-guessed.

"War is only a means."

Kane put down the teacup and asked suspiciously, "Why did you suddenly feel emotional?"

Mu Yun smiled: "It's nothing, I just feel that I was a little stingy before, how many people will die in the so-called small defeat, how many people will die in the fall of Galoya, all this is just that some people are prejudiced against a young man." ”

Kane was stunned, Riddler, huh.

"How about you indulge once in a while?"

"I know the best dancers in Leipzig"

Mu Yun shook his head and ordered: "The vanguard ship directly rushed through the blocking line that was not long after, and the whole sail approached any third-level ship, and I will take you to kill the great knight." ”

Kane shuddered and said with a stiff face, "Not long after?" Grand Knight? I can't rush through it. ”

Mu Yun looked at him with a smile: "The vice admiral can't control the captain of the long voyage. ”

“……”

On the sea, a formation of seven warships entered the battlefield, and on the imperial side, three fourth-rank ships and five fifth-rank ships turned the rudder of the ships at the same time, like an iron wall across the sea.

Officers can be redeemed.

At the same time, the imperial flagships turned, and the main warships did the same.

On the opposite side, the largest of the Night's Watch entered the battle line, and their own ships on both sides tacitly made way for it.

The ships of the support formation fall sails, and during the engagement, the destruction of the sails by the artillery will cause the ships to temporarily lose their mobility, and in case the chain bullet hits the mast, it can only drift.

At this time, only a fifth-class ship, moving forward with full sail, crashed into the "iron wall" like crazy.

The "iron wall" opened fire at the same time, and countless solid and grape bullets covered the sky and the sun.
