On the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly. The hunter may be the first second, and the next second may become prey.

Greeska lived up to the name of the wise. After the complete defeat, who would have thought that he would unexpectedly use the cover of the night to fight back again!

In a hurry, I didn't have time to worry about more and shouted loudly: "Start at full speed! The direction is west, be ready for the boarding battle!"

When my order reached each ship, the enemy fleet had already advanced to a position less than 300 meters away from us! This was fleeting at sea. When the hull increased to about a quarter of the speed, I suddenly heard the sound of an old man walking around the streets and holding a black pot of popcorn in my ears!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A few muffled sounds, a terrible possibility appeared in my mind, so I shouted: "Let's find a cover!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I was shocked and hid in the cabin's back. Shotballs like rain had already hit our deck! After the crackling sounds, screams came one after another!

It is the enemy's shotgun that specifically suppresses deck personnel! Damn it! Has it already rushed to 200 meters? After one round of shooting, the opponent's loading time has accelerated to more than three-quarters, basically the same as the opponent's full speed, so there is no possibility of being caught up again!

When we looked back, our No. 4 ship was in the last position of the formation and could not understand my orders. We found that the enemy was caught up by the Spanish along with the Dutch fleet that was unable to retreat later! The opponent's large sailing paddles and threw countless rope hooks on the warships, and put them on the side of these ships!

Under the cover of the shotgun, the enemy sailors crawled along the ropes like ants toward our ships!

The situation at this time cannot be hesitated, and I shouted: "Free shooting! Target: Just let the enemy ship! All your efforts to help our fleet!"

Once the order was issued, the four warships, including the flagship, began to slowly turn, from facing west to facing south - this was also a choice made after considering the direction of the wind. In this process, the distance between our ships and the opponent's brigade was once again increased by more than 550 meters. The enemy's shotgun could no longer reach us, but it was the precise shooting range of our artillery!

Before starting the shooting, our artillery really paused for a while - because in this dark night, how to distinguish the enemy and us is the biggest problem! The enemy and our ships are already intertwined - this is a common tactic used by the Spanish, and such a lifeless style of play is indeed a headache!

So when the first gun of the flagship started shooting, it aimed at the enemy ship that was on the side of the No. 4 ship. This was already ready to shoot without distinction between enemies and us! Obviously, this was unacceptable, so when the gunners corrected the shooting of various elements, they deliberately or unintentionally raised the high and low rulers, which would not easily hurt their own people nearby, but also reduced the accuracy in aiming at the enemy.

So the effect of the first round of shooting can only be said to be minimal. The shooters were shocked after seeing the results of the battle. Protecting friendly forces is important, but defeating the enemy is even more important. So the commanders kept the high and lows back to normal levels!

The second round of shooting results were remarkable! The two Spanish warships around the No. 4 ship were like dishes that were eaten with chopsticks on the plate, and they suddenly became completely intact and broken! But at the same time, the deck of the No. 4 ship was also accidentally hit by two cups of its own shells! Suddenly, a group of people were overturned near the point, causing chaos in the surrounding area!

I couldn't help but feel nervous! For a qualified battlefield commander, it is normal to die, whether it is the enemy or us. For such a soldier who is as strong as a soldier, it is just a number in front of me, just like playing Go - will you feel heartbroken for losing a few pieces on the board?

Obviously, they won't, but I will! After all, I am not a commander with a systematic training background. Ignoring my own people and being strangled by the other party - or being killed by myself will still cause trouble in my heart! Although I can suppress this negative emotion, this cannot change the reality of my influence.

"Qi Lan!" Hua Mei's voice sounded in my ears. I immediately turned my head and looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

She gently grabbed my sleeve with a very encouraging smile and said in her clear voice: "My father often said that war is a major event in the country, a place of life and death, and a way to survive and die. The fate lies in the general. If you are a general, you have a mission and will never refuse to die!"

I nodded without saying a word. She let go of my sleeves and continued, "The harm of using troops is the greatest. The disaster of the three armies is born of suspicion! In history, there are countless examples of losing a order and dying by the army. Are you as wise as Qi Lan, and you should be confused at the critical moment of the war and repeat the mistakes of these people?"

Hua Mei said something, pouring her head on me like cold water! During the battle with the Tatars and Jurchens before, I was afraid of life and death, but I asked for a word, so I could fight and win every battle! Why did I hesitate when I got to the sea?

Thinking of this, I let out a heavy breath, grabbed Huamei's arms with both hands and pinched them hard, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you! Huamei! I understand!"

After saying that, she gave her a look of "believe me" and ordered: "Order! Our fleet turns the bow and drives northeastward, keeping full speed! When driving, it covers and shoots the enemy fleet without any difference! Close the distance from the enemy and prepare for the impact!"

As soon as the order was issued, the people around him were shocked! At the sea of ​​this era, accelerating, shooting, and preparing for impact, that is, preparing to take the board. Both the navigators and sailors were excited for a moment and began to prepare for a comprehensive battle!

The fleet began to turn around. After a turning radius of about 200 meters, our four warships had completed the turn and were marching forward along the northeast direction while charging and shooting!

When the enemy and us who were fighting in front turned around and fought back when we saw us, we were naturally surprised in our hearts - the enemy was shocked and our army was happy! As the rise and fall, subtle changes suddenly occurred on the battlefield! Especially the several ships directly connected to the side, when their morale was hit and were covered by our firepower, they immediately had the intention of retreating.

But in this situation, if they retreat, they will only become a living target for our army to pursue and hunt! So they had to support them and had to continue to move forward, and entangle with our ships more deeply! At the same time, they will share their spirits to prevent the four warships led by me from suddenly rushing to the hinterland and threatening the flagship!

For a moment, our morale reached its peak, but the enemy began to slowly move towards us! Especially the suicide squads on the warship had to act as a result of their own strength. The stormtroopers were eager to show themselves, and the sailors fought to the death for survival. In terms of momentum, they actually overwhelmed the enemy who came on board the ship and fought to the same level!

The distance between us and the enemy is approaching quickly, and the hearts of the enemy are getting tighter and tighter, and are getting higher and higher! The most terrifying thing on the sea is that the retreat is broken. If we accelerate with all our might and forcefully board the enemy fleet while it is empty, these people will lose the space for retreat. Even if we grab the opponent's ship, they will become prey that the opponent will slowly slaughter because of their inability to operate!

Therefore, most of the Spanish's energy was attracted by me, and his attention on the front battlefield was forcibly dispersed!

In hand-to-hand combat, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Once the enemy's momentum is weak, the momentum of our army will suddenly rise! In addition, the enemy ships are everywhere on our ships, and people are even more anxious. Many enemy troops on the ships are in chaos and start fighting for their own battles!

At this moment, what am I doing? The answer is: I am observing! In the dark night, I move the wolf style to the limit and go all out to find the goal!

At this moment, a battleship located behind the enemy fleet in the middle of the ground was continuously emitted lights and horns, all of which meant giving full-strength assault orders! This is the enemy's flagship! Finally I found you! Damn guy!

I shouted loudly: "The fleet is heading east! Each ship gathers fire and sends out a light message to the enemy ship at two o'clock! Annihilate it with all its might!"

After a while, my order was passed to each ship. Nearly five hundred artillery on the starboard side of the four warships began to gather fire at the enemy flagship that sent signals! The attack at this time can only be described as a storm! After three rounds of shooting, no less than twenty flames ignited on the enemy flagship, and even the main mast was broken and hit the deck heavily!

"Sink him!" I shouted: "All the firepower, sink it!"

Although the enemy ship began to make every effort to avoid it, there was no escape under the precise calculation of the skilled archer. Five minutes later, the keel of the enemy flagship was broken by a powerful shell, and the wailing hull began to slowly break into two pieces, and began to sink irreversibly little by little!

"Oh!" A shocking roar came from our warship! The enemy's flagship was sunk! This was usually the end of the battle in naval battles. But at this time, both sides were already red in their eyes. Except for the three enemy ships that were in the rear and had not yet fully entered the hand-to-hand combat state, accelerating their turn and trying to escape, the sailors of several warships in front had forgotten the victory and were still fighting for survival!

Indeed, even if they wanted to stop at this time, they could not convince our soldiers who were full of aggression and hatred that they would not continue to attack them! But if they lost their support, they were destined to have one way to defeat!

The dawn first appeared, and the eastern coastline in front of me was burned red. At the same time, the enemy was already out of sight. After a night of battle, our sailors were exhausted, so I gave up my plan to pursue and flee the enemy, but pressed towards several enemy ships that had fallen into the encirclement!

Finally, I don’t know which enemy on the ship put down his weapons first, and the enemy troops on several warships began to follow suit. The sound of "ding Ding Dangdang" weapons falling to the ground one after another, and the battle was finally over!

Initial estimates of the battle situation, our No. 4 ship was severely injured. The ship was completely killed by suicide squad, one-half of the stormtroopers were killed, one-hundred and ten sailors were injured, and more than two hundred people were injured! The Dutch fleet was severely injured, and more than one-third of the sailors were killed, and almost everyone else was injured!

Sinking the enemy's flagship, the opponent's admiral Greska was salvaged by the No. 4 ship and was imprisoned alone. Most of the remaining people who fell into the water in the flagship were shot and killed in the sea! The enemy was captured by three warships, two of which were large sailboats, one Venetian warship, and one frigate with hopeless escape, and they surrendered voluntarily. More than 700 enemies were annihilated, and several injured were injured. Our side consumed ammunition and had no credit...

We won this battle, but in the end there was no winner!

I ordered all the ships to set sail and head to the island where we had stopped and rested again, and deal with the problems of these prisoners of war.

I stood on the deck, facing the sea breeze, feeling the warmth of the rising sun shining on my right cheek, and my heart was filled with thoughts.

"Qi Lan, you did a great job!" Huamei's voice came from behind again.

I smiled, and did not look back, but shook my hand with my back to her.

Huamei came to me, stood side by side with me, looking ahead with me, with a very soft voice, but full of joy: "After this battle last night, you have become more and more mature! I am invincible above the sea, only life and death! I am so lucky to witness your growth with my own eyes!"

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's better to teach than to learn well. I have to thank Teacher Li for his teachings!"

Huamei laughed "pu" but didn't say anything, but looked at me with a burning look.
Chapter completed!
