Chapter 459: Naval Battle 2
I turned my head to look at the king next to me and said fiercely: "His Majesty King, if your fleet is not dispatched, then we will withdraw from this battle!"
He was stunned and said anxiously: "Didn't you promise us to eliminate the rebels?"
"good!"
I nodded and said, "But please note that we are assisting, not the main attacker! If your fleet does not join the battle, we can only evacuate the battle and leave here. I believe that my interest in you is much more than our interest!"
Then, regardless of whether he agreed or not, he directly said to Xia Yutian: "Order all ships to evacuate quickly!"
Then he turned his head and said to the king: "When your army joins the battle, we are supporting you!"
Seeing our ceasefire, the king was anxious and said, "We have an agreement!"
"protocol!"
I smiled coldly and said, "His Majesty the King, I hope you can understand that this is your country, you are the main force, we support you, not cannon fodder, we are fighting here, but you are watching. What? Are you planning to destroy us when we finish destroying the enemy army when the ammunition and food are exhausted? If you think that way, I owe you or give up. If you anger the Great Zhou, it is not something your country can bear! So I hope you think clearly that if your fleet participates in the war, then we will cooperate with you. If you do not participate in the war, then we will evacuate this sea area. As for those destroyed enemy ships, I will treat you as a gift from me, and I wish you to eliminate the rebels as soon as possible!"
After the order was conveyed, all the fleets immediately raised their sails and began to evacuate the battlefield at high speed. Although the enemy ships were smaller than us, once our fleet evacuated at full speed, it was still difficult for them to catch up with us. With the threat of our artillery, they did not dare to attack rashly, so they turned the bow of the ship and chased the king's fleet that was parked on the side.
And I was very polite to ask people to prepare the king's ship and plan to let him return to his fleet. After all, if we don't plan to help them, he will have no reason to stay on our fleet.
In fact, we are also helpless. Fresh water, food, etc. can be replenished, but ammunition cannot be replenished. We must prevent everything that may happen. One of them is the king's rebellion. When we eliminate the rebels, the ammunition is almost consumed. It is an attack on us. We are in danger. Although there may not be anything for Bihan to do with us, so many cargo and sailors on the ship are difficult to save. Although there must be someone to avenge them in the end, I still don't want them to lose their lives in vain.
After our ceasefire, the rebels suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and at the same time they felt that if they were dealing with us, they would face the worst losses. So they left us and rushed towards the fleet belonging to the king. And there was a busy battle. Before they could sort out the formation, they fought fiercely with the rebels.
The number of this fleet was not very large. Although the rebels lost a lot of ships in the battle with us, the number still exceeded that of them. So in the battle, casualties began to occur here one after another.
The king looked at the situation on the sea anxiously and said anxiously: "Prince, why don't you help? Haven't you seen that our army has suffered serious losses?"
"That's what you found yourself!"
I said coldly: "If you had cooperated well, we would have won this battle, but you had no intention of cooperating at all. Instead, you watched the fun while watching the fun. Even the fleet's combat formation was not well organized. I don't know who was commanding there, but if it were my troops, I would have killed the commander because he didn't understand what war was!"
He suddenly remembered that in order to prove his identity just now, he sent out his eldest son, and was he the one who commanded on the ship?
And my son seems very scheming, but sometimes he is just a loyal person. He always thinks that his cleverness can accomplish great things.
However, it is no longer the time to blame him. The sea surface is now in chaos. The ships of both sides have begun the most primitive battle on the water surface, which is to collide or shoot against each other with bows and arrows or heavy crossbows on the ship. Some ships originally had catapults installed on them, but under the current circumstances, it is impossible to use catapults.
Whether in terms of quantity and geographical advantages, the king's side had a disadvantage, and the other side was at the same time, so the force of the collision was naturally greater, and the number far exceeded that of this side. So as soon as the war came into contact, the king's side lost a lot.
Finally, the king couldn't bear it anymore and said anxiously: "You said, what other conditions are needed to agree to help us!"
I shook my head and said, "I don't need any conditions."
"Then why don't you help us?"
The king said anxiously, "Even if we are wrong, I apologize to you!"
I still shook my head and said, "You should not apologize to me, but to those dead soldiers, because of your wrong decision, many of them who would not sacrifice themselves!"
"However, this is also a lesson. I hope you will consider the consequences carefully next time you make a decision!"
After saying that, I said to Xia Yutian next to me: "General Xia, order the fleet to be freely involved, try to control the rate of fire as much as possible, aim and then hit!"
Xia Yutian was also very angry at the actions of the King's fleet just now and said angrily: "If the prince hadn't agreed, I would rather help the rebels this time! Humph!"
After saying that, he also passed the order.
The long-lost gunfire sounded on the sea again, but the firing rate was very slow. The main reason is that the two armies are now mixed together, and it will take time to aim and fight.
Although he was very busy, the sound of the cannon sounded like a natural sound in the king's ears.
Since the fleet's artillery is mainly on both sides, only ten cannons on a ship open fire, but this is also a disaster for those ships made of wood. After the shells are hit, the explosion can not only kill soldiers and destroy ships, but also cause big fires, especially sails, which basically cannot be saved once they catch fire.
However, even if you try to aim and then shoot, there will be times when you accidentally get injured. After all, the artillery on this ship does not have an advanced fire control system. At the same time, due to the shaking of the hull, some shells also land on friendly forces. In addition, the two armies have similar styles except for the different flags. If their eyes are blurred, maybe one shell will fall to the wrong ground.
However, even if it is not accurate, this battle still needs to be fought, so you must not stop fighting.
As for the current situation, the most leisurely thing is the soldiers on each boat. They were fighting lively not far away, and the cannons on their fleet's ships kept ringing like a festival, but they had no chance to fight, so they could only lie on the side of the ship to watch the fun.
For the entire fleet, we are now more like snipers on one side, holding weapons and shooting with gunshots on the other side. Of course, if we hit, we can't do anything if we hit it miss it.
Under double pressure, the rebels finally couldn't stand it and began to retreat. If the king's army stopped and did not pursue it at this time, then the enemy ship might be at our range for a long distance. Then we could definitely exert the power of the fleet and cause heavy damage at this distance. But I don't know what the command of the fleet thought. Since we followed someone's butt and the distance was far, the accuracy of the artillery was greatly reduced again. In this case, in order not to harm friendly forces, we had to control the rate of fire of the artillery again, so the sound of the artillery was also sparse, and the losses caused to the enemy fleet were also much less.
Seeing the opponent's king's fleet chasing me, I couldn't help but shake my head and said to Xia Yutian: "Cease fire, at such an original distance, our hit rate is too low, it's just a waste of shells."
Xia Yutian put down the tube of the lens and cursed: "That pair of the fleet commanders are purely idiots! They don't know how to fight. Now they are obviously no longer within the support range of our firepower and are still pursuing them. That's not asking for death! Don't you understand the words of "Don't chase the enemy?"
At this moment, the king felt that there was no glory of harmony. He immediately knew that the commander on the fleet must be his son. His son was called an idiot, and his father's face was not as good as him.
Sure enough, seeing that the artillery on our side stopped shooting, the rebels organized another attack, which caused the King's fleet to be attacked again. After leaving several ships, they fled in a hurry.
It didn't take long before this heavy loss came closer to us. Compared with our clean and tidy fleet, their fleet is now like a group of beggars, everywhere in pieces. As for those burned places, they are places that were accidentally injured by us.
After arriving, one of the ships dropped a small boat and leaned towards us. The soldiers on our fleet raised heavy crossbows and pointed at the small boat together.
I knew that the king's eldest prince must be, so I shook my head and the soldiers put down their crossbow arrows.
After the boat approached our warship, several soft bodies were put down on the boat. Five or six people climbed up along the ladder. Walking in the front was the big prince with an angry look on his face. When he saw me, he rushed towards me immediately, grabbed my collar and said angrily: "Why don't you fire!"
"open!"
I said coldly.
"I'll ask you why you didn't fire!"
Instead of letting me go, he continued to yell.
"You don't have the right to ask me!"
I said coldly, pressing my knee against his stomach. The severe pain made his hands relax. Then my right hand suddenly stuck on his neck, pressing him hard on the cabin behind me, and then said coldly, "If I were the supreme commander of the fleet, I would have looked at you and apologized to the dead soldiers. Therefore, you are not qualified to accuse me. In this world, you are not worthy of the people who can accuse me!"
Just as I was doing it, the few people who came with the prince shouted, "Stop, let go of the prince!"
"What are you doing? Seeking death!"
At this time, Xia Yutian shouted.
"Stop!" The king shouted at this time.
But he ignored it. After saying that, he turned his head slightly and said to the soldiers who had already pulled out the sword with the prince, "It's better to put away your sword, otherwise, you can try it and see if you have the ability to keep your life before hurting me!"
