As the distance between the two sides continued to close, the sixteen 100-millimeter secondary guns on the Sea Dragon also began to join the shelling, and more dense shells smashed towards Count Taisha's flagship.

Under such intensive artillery fire, Count Tessa's good luck was finally completely exhausted, and he was soon hit by two shells fired from the secondary cannon, one of which also hit the command room, killing Count Tessa and seven or eight of his officers inside.

Without the command of Count Taisha, the remaining warships were completely in a situation of fighting on their own, and in the face of the enemy's powerful firepower, some captains wanted to retreat, while others continued to carry out Count Taisha's previous attack orders.

As a result, the huge fleet quickly became a mess, and some of the battleships that wanted to retreat accidentally collided with those that were still advancing.

When Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun saw this scene, they were completely relieved, the enemy's position had been completely disrupted, there was no threat, and the next thing was the target time, and the time to end the battle depended on whether the gunners were accurate or not.

After about three rounds of shelling, two more battleships were sunk, and even more were wounded, and the morale of those battleships that were still moving seemed to have completely dropped to freezing, and they were retreating to the rear.

However, it was the Marquis of Rodra who retreated the fastest, and after seeing that the large battleship on which Count Tessa was located was sunk by concentrated fire, he ordered to evacuate at full speed, despite the fact that the flagship he was on had not completely repaired the hole. By the time the other captains were ready to retreat, he had already run away.

The brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, seeing that the enemy army had begun to be completely defeated, immediately issued the order for a general attack, and thirteen wooden warships began to accelerate with the Sea Dragon, chasing those enemy fleets.

In order to leave more enemy ships behind, Zhang Heng ordered the gunners on the Sea Dragon to aim at the masts of those enemy ships as much as possible to fire, most of the power of those enemy ships comes from the sails, once the mast is destroyed, the power will be lost by most of the time, and it will be easier for them to pursue it next.

This trick was really good, and after many enemy ships were destroyed masts, their speed was immediately greatly reduced, and they were soon caught up by the Sea Dragon.

In the face of these enemy ships that were already close at hand, Zhang Heng did not let the large-caliber naval guns on the battleship open fire, but only let those small-caliber rapid-fire guns of 60 mm caliber sweep against the superstructure of the enemy ship, killing and wounding a group of enemy soldiers as much as possible, and then led hundreds of soldiers to jump directly onto the enemy ship, preparing to occupy these enemy ships.

Under the bombardment of naval guns, the demoralized Vekia soldiers faced the attack of Zhang Heng, a master of chemical strength, and were completely defeated with one blow, and soon two large warships and three medium-sized warships were occupied by Zhang Heng.

The main generals were so brave, and the soldiers below were also highly motivated, all of them were vying for the lead, and those wooden battleships quickly cooperated with each other, and two or three of them surrounded the damaged enemy ships together, and directly engaged the other side in a broadside battle.

Although there were not many guns on these wooden ships, the soldiers were also equipped with flintlock rifles, which would give the enemy a salvo before engagement, and some would even throw a few grenades to blow the enemy into chaos before charging with a rifle with a bayonet.

As the so-called narrow road meets, the brave wins, the soldiers under Ye Tianlong's command are already more superior in terms of equipment level, and they are extremely brave in fighting, where are those Vekia soldiers who are opponents, and the enemy troops on many warships soon couldn't support it, and directly hung up the white flag and surrendered.

The pursuit finally ended after more than three hours, with seven large warships of the Kingdom of Vekia escaping, three sunk, and three captured, two of the twenty-two medium warships escaping, eight sunk, twelve captured, thirty small ships, five escaping, fifteen sunk, and ten captured.

Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun brothers were naturally very happy to capture so many enemy ships at once, but if these warships wanted to really form combat effectiveness, they had to spend a lot of energy to train a large number of naval soldiers.

But this is also a happy trouble, after cleaning the battlefield and counting the final results, Zhang Heng immediately sent a light cavalry scout to report the battle to Ye Tianlong.

When Ye Tianlong received this good news, he had just escorted the prisoners and booty back to the novice village, he didn't expect that the battle on Zhang Heng's side would end so quickly, the key is that the results were also brilliant!

Coupled with those captured enemy ships, he now has a total of three large wooden warships, fifteen medium-sized warships, and twenty small warships, and according to Zhang Heng, he also captured more than 500 enemy troops, of which more than 200 are elites like Vekia marksmen.

And in this battle, only a few of the soldiers under Zhang Heng were slightly injured, and none of them were killed, which shows that Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun brothers are indeed very good at training the navy, and they can make the soldiers under their command have such a strong combat effectiveness in such a short period of time.

With the last way of Vekia's army was wiped out, this time the siege of the three major forces against him was completely resolved, and then Ye Tianlong was ready to continue to expand the army, increase the number of troops in his hands to 20,000, and then start against the kingdom of Nassinod, that group of traitors colluded with the demons and killed King Ragnar, it was completely a group of rebellious ministers and thieves, Ye Tianlong's subsequent expedition to attack them can be said to be justified, and after the elimination of the nearest enemy force to himself, the strategic depth of Ye Tianlong's territory can also be greatly increased, It is not so that the enemy army will be able to attack the city as soon as it comes, and there is no room for buffer at all.

In addition, in addition to expanding the army and training, Ye Tianlong also had to reward his meritorious soldiers. Now it is different from before, because of the king of Ragnar, when he canonized his subordinates with a relatively high title, he had to ask for the consent of His Majesty the king first.

And now, he can be regarded as an independent force, but because the territory is still too small, Ye Tianlong feels that he can't stand on his own as a kingdom now, at most a principality, so that he can also promote himself to the title of duke. As for the titles of other subordinates, as long as they do not exceed his own duke titles, they can be canonized at will.

Ye Tianlong's first reward was his master Li Rufeng, after all, the other party was the first group of team members to follow him, and he also carefully taught them to cultivate various martial arts, without her help, Ye Tianlong would not have been able to gain a firm foothold in the Calradia Continent in such a short period of time and have a territory of his own.

It was precisely because he was grateful for the other party's many help to him that Ye Tianlong directly promoted the other party's title to a marquis this time, second only to himself, and his military rank was also promoted to major general.

After that, Ye Tianlong canonized four more counts, namely Lin Chong, Luan Tingyu, Shi Wengong and Luo Chenguang, and the military ranks of these four people were also promoted to the rank of colonel.

Among these four people, Lin Chong, Shi Wengong and Luan Tingyu were all canonized as earls and colonels because of their strong personal strength, plus they had followed Ye Tianlong for a long time and made enough contributions, while Luo Chenguang obtained this earl title by virtue of his strong command ability, this time the other party faced the siege of tens of thousands of troops from the Sirona Kingdom, which had the largest number of troops among the three armies, but he was the first to defeat the enemy, and also fought an extremely rare kind of annihilation. Originally, it would be very good to be able to win more with less in the case of inferior troops, but Luo Chenguang was stunned to rely on this inferior force to fight a beautiful battle of annihilation, and almost wiped out the tens of thousands of troops of the Sirona Kingdom in one battle.

With such excellent command ability, Ye Tianlong felt that it was no problem to give the other party an earl.

Finally, there is an earl that was sealed by King Ragnar before, that is, An Daoquan, after all, this miracle doctor saved the other party's life, so His Majesty the king is very grateful to him, and directly named the other party an earl, which belongs to a special existence with a low military rank, but a very high title. Because Ye Tianlong claimed to be the legitimate heir of the Nord Kingdom, he recognized An Daoquan's count even after King Ragnar's death.

Behind the earl, it is naturally the turn of the viscount, and there are a lot more people who have obtained the title of viscount and the rank of lieutenant colonel, there are thirteen people, namely Murong Jie, Jiang You, Zhou Jiale, Guo Wenruo, Du Yonggang, Shi Xiu, Li Zhong, Shi Qian, Tang Long, Ye Er, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun and Sun An.

Among them, Murong Jie, Jiang You, Zhou Jiale and Guo Wenruo are all the first to follow Ye Tianlong's group of veterans, and they are all very hard-working, so they deserve to obtain this viscount title and lieutenant colonel rank, and Du Yonggang joined a little late, but because of his good talent, his cultivation is very fast, and he is brave enough to fight on the battlefield, so this time he will directly catch up with the titles of Murong Jie and several other veterans.

And at that time, Qian, Li Zhong, and Shi Xiu didn't need to say much, they were all Liangshan heroes who followed Ye Tianlong earlier, and they all made a lot of contributions to the battle with Ye Tianlong, and they were completely qualified to obtain a viscount title and the rank of lieutenant colonel.

That Tang Long performed very well in this sudden incident of the rebels attacking the school, and the aid was timely, and there were no casualties among the students in the school, plus he was still a rare technical talent who could build various weapons and equipment, so Ye Tianlong also gave the other party a viscount title.

The last four people, Ye Er, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun and Sun An, naturally needless to say, two of them obtained this viscount title by virtue of their own strong force, and Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun brothers obtained this viscount title by virtue of their excellent naval command ability. Similar to Tang Long, they are all newcomers who have not been in the team for a long time, but they have relied on their strength or great achievements to catch up.

Finally, there is a group of meritorious personnel who have obtained the title of baron and the rank of major, which is also the last group of rewarded personnel personally selected by Ye Tianlong, and then those officers and veterans who have won the knighthood were handed over to Luo Chenguang for an agreed list, and he just needs to approve it, after all, in this war, there are definitely many officers and veterans who can obtain the knighthood, and it is too troublesome for Ye Tianlong to slowly canonize him one by one.

However, this person who obtained the title of barony can at least be regarded as truly entering the aristocratic circle, so although there are also a lot of people, Ye Tianlong still canonized it himself.

There are 20 people in this group, namely Ye Da, Ye San, Ye Si, James, Mama Cha, Liu Shiyu, Zhang Dashu, Min Shuisheng, Bai Mulin, Guan Jun, Xue Yong, Hou Jian, Zhu Di, Jack, Yu Haisheng, Zuo Xiaoxian, Ning Yu, Lei Yeke, Di Ligang and Bestur.
