Chapter 226： support (2/2)
After Feidi retreated, the ghost fire did not intend to catch up, nor did it intend to land, so the fleet was allowed to bombard the port continuously.
Because, after receiving a call from Inoue Yousuke, he knew that the plan was successful. Although it changed a little, it was also successful. So he didn't care about the battle in the port as much, but quietly waited for Goodley to arrive That's it!
”Da da da!”
”Wisp boss, the watchman said the fleet is coming!” One of his men hurried over and bowed to report.
”Okay, order to go down, the whole army is ready, and follow the plan!” Ghost Fire took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
”Yes!” The subordinate nodded and turned to leave.
After , all the ships stopped shelling, turned their bows, and stood in battle.
------
The fleet led by Goodley came to five kilometers away from the fleet led by the ghost fire.
on the deck.
Goodley was staring at the WISP fleet in the distance with his binoculars, stretched out his hand, and beckoned to his side.
This subordinate immediately came to Goodley's side.
”Go, inform me of the ships I picked before, and let them follow the plan!” Goodley said sternly.
”Okay, General!” The subordinate nodded, turned and left!
Soon, at Goodley's order.
The fleet began to deform.
Twenty of the fifty ships, small merchant ships that can only carry three to fifty people, arrived at the forefront of the fleet.
After , the entire fleet began to speed up and quickly approached the fleet where the ghost fire was.
five kilometers
four kilometers
three kilometers
”boom!”
”boom!”
”boom!”
...
Just three kilometers away, the ghost fire brazenly launched an attack, and more than a hundred artillery fired all at once.
”Boom!”
”Boom!”
”Boom!”
Cannonballs constantly bombarded the fleet led by Goodley like meteors.
At this moment, five ships were silent and ten were injured.
”Damn, their range is not only 500 meters longer than ours, but 1,500 meters longer!” Goodley was furious.
He didn't expect Feidi to give a false information. You know this is a war. A false information is enough to change a lot.
”General~ what should I do now?” his adjutant asked with a gloomy expression.
”Let these death squads in front cover, we...retreat!” Goodley thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said decisively.
Originally, his plan was to use these small boats at the forefront as a death squad, speeding up and rushing to attract firepower. Even if the boat is injured, it will rush forward for a certain distance due to inertia, as long as it rushes over a distance of 500 meters. That's it.
The distance of five hundred meters is not too far, and the boat still has a good chance of rushing in. As long as five or six of the twenty boats have rushed through the 500 meters and have not been destroyed, then they can fight back.
When the time comes, the ships behind can also rush through the distance of 500 meters under their cover.
It's just that he didn't expect that the range of the cannon on the opposite side was not two kilometers, but three kilometers!
The difficulty of rushing through with a difference of 500 meters is not the same as that of rushing through with a difference of 1,500 meters.
There is no way, he can only retreat first, otherwise, the whole army will be wiped out!
Once the entire army is annihilated, it also means that the Ward Kingdom’s maritime combat power has returned to zero.
”It's not good, there is a boat behind, this is a trap!!!”
At this time, the lookout hand exclaimed, causing Goodley to fall into an ice kiln, and his heart sank suddenly, and a deep sense of despair came oncoming, wrapping his whole body tightly, letting him have Kind of suffocation.
