Chapter 733 (1/2)

”It's not good.” Captain Gordon said with a dignified look, ”Your Majesty has tried to reorganize the fleet and encourage the morale of the soldiers. He has organized three breakouts before and after, trying to break through the blockade line led by the army at night. They all ended in frustration. They not only sent a fleet there, but also laid a large number of mines there. Your majesty is sending people to clear the mine!”

”Has your majesty worked out a plan to break through?” Captain Lena was expecting good news from the other side.

”That's why I came here.” Captain Gordon nodded, ”your majesty and several ship captains have discussed for several days and come to a conclusion that our fleet is now in a complete disadvantage, largely because of the environment. If we withdraw to the sea, we will not have the strength to fight.

First of all, we still have the advantage of quantity. Secondly, the number of shells carried by the Yongye army's leading warships is certainly not endless, especially the magic shells. Although we don't know how the other side makes them, the cost is absolutely high.

This can be seen from their delay in launching a general attack on us.

However, judging from the current situation, if our fleet does not consider the casualties, the casualties will be more than expected.

Therefore, your majesty sent me out to seek help, trying to break through the blockade of Yongye's army leader by means of attacking on both sides. ”

”Your Majesty thought of asking captain * * Moore for help?” There was a glimmer of excitement on Lena's captain's face.

”Also?” Captain Gordon noticed Lina's words and asked, ”how do you know your majesty is going to ask captain * * Moore for help?”

”We have just finished a high-level officers' meeting. Captain Cornell thinks that it is very difficult for the fleet to break through the blockade line on its own strength, and put forward this plan. Unexpectedly, it coincides with his majesty. In this way, we don't have to report to your majesty.” Lena didn't take advantage of Cornell.

”You have the intention. When the mission is completed, I will ask for credit in front of your majesty. Before that, you must assist me in transmitting the message to captain * * Moore and his highness Leighton as soon as possible.” Captain Gordon is a personal genius. He doesn't mind giving him away, no matter what the other side just said is true or false.

”Your Highness Leighton?” Cornell lost his voice and said, ”Your Majesty, do you want not only captain * * Moore to return, but also the fleet left behind in the bay to rescue?”

”Yes.” Captain Gordon nodded. ”It's a double insurance. Only if we arrive all the way, our fleet is expected to escape.”

”What about the big Bay Islands when the remaining fleet is transferred? There is a good chance that the indigenous rebels will take advantage of the situation. ” The captain of Cornell's fleet had an unstoppable worry on his face.

Without waiting for captain Gordon to reply, the captain of Lena stares at him and says, ”you don't have to look at the time. You are afraid of the wolf before and the tiger after. If the main force of our fleet is lost here, will the situation in the Dawan islands be better? The main force of our fleet is the key. As long as this is preserved, even if the Dawan islands are totally lost, we can take them back again. ”

”That's what your majesty thinks.” Captain Gordon confirmed Lena's explanation.

”Why not send a speedboat by sea? The speed of the sea is far above the land. Is the blockade on the sea so tight under the leadership of the Yongye army? Can't even get a clipper out? ” The captain of Cornell asked another question.

”The way you're talking about is not that you haven't tried it.” Captain Gordon looked extremely gloomy again. ”As a result, he buried 32 clippers and failed to send out the news. On the other side's warships, they not only loaded new long-range weapons, but also imitated the special capabilities of dragon skeletons. Their sails can speed up by using the magic energy. Our clippers have no speed advantage over them at all. In addition, they have no advantage in speed There are eyes in the air. It's hard to escape from their pursuit. ”

”No way!” The two captains of the ship widened their eyes at the same time, looking like listening to the legend.

The Dragon skeletons were in their hands for hundreds of years, and they didn't find a way to copy it.

How many years did Yongye army leader get the Dragon skeleton warship?

It's less than ten years to do a full calculation.

I can't believe it.

”This is what I saw with my own eyes. There is absolutely no mistake. They use the Dragon Wings of the Dragon roar.” Captain Gordon spoke in a very positive way.

Captain Lena also asked other questions and was gently dragged by the captain of Cornell fleet. ”Captain Gordon has worked with his Majesty on the Dragon roar for more than 20 years, and his understanding of the Dragon roar is far ahead of us. Since captain Gordon said yes, it must be right. Yongye army's leading role is to equip soldiers with a large number of armor, and then the combination of magic and black powder French artillery, which fully shows that their skills are far beyond our imagination. It is not surprising that they have thoroughly studied the techniques of dragon skeleton warships and applied them to other warships. ”

”The first is the magic artillery, and then the magic sails with dragon wings. Even if we successfully rescue the fleet from the Donau River, the situation we will face in the future is not optimistic.” Captain Lena's gloomy look dropped into the water, and his words were full of worries.All three were old sailors, and they were very aware of the three elements of naval warfare.

Warship speed, warship firepower and personnel quality.

Whether it's the old mode of naval warfare or the new mode of naval warfare initiated by the new warships led by Yongye army.

The three elements have not changed, but their importance and order.

In the old sea battle mode, the order of the three is warship firepower warship speed personnel quality.

Limited by the means of long-range attack, they used to focus on the size of warships. The larger the size, the more personnel they carried, the more bulky long-range attack weapons and the thicker the deck. Both long-range attack and close combat will occupy a great advantage.

Compared with warship speed and personnel quality, it is not so important.

The former can be offset by horizontal pushing, while the latter can be compensated by quantity.

In the new sea battle mode created by Yongye army leader, the order of the three elements has changed into warship speed warship firepower personnel quality.

With the appearance of super long-range technical artillery, the importance of warship speed leaped to the warship firepower.

The reason is very simple. If a hurricane class warship is equipped with such a few magic guns, it will be enough to pull the intrepid yacht from its dominant position.

Because the latter tried their best to milk, but could not catch up with the former.

Of course, this refers to the situation when the Dreadnought is not equipped with a magic gun.

If the two have the same equipment, it will be another situation. Under normal circumstances, no one can do anything about the other.

The hurricane class did not dare to get too close to the intrepid, but the latter could not catch up with the former.

The outcome will depend on the specific situation.

The key point is that the East China Sea fleet is not superior to the new warships led by Yongye army.

The long-range firepower has been run down by others, and now the speed does not occupy the advantage. As for the quality of personnel, we can see from the infantry led by Yongye army. It is absolutely one-on-one.

Even on the sea, they will be pigeoned to death by the new warships led by Yongye army.

However, these are all things to come. Their first priority now is to rescue the main force of the East China Sea fleet from the pocket array of Donao river. If the rescue is not successful, they will have no future at all.

”Captain Gordon, what do you need from us?” Lena said

”Your Majesty means that if I go to persuade captain * * Moore in person and return to Dawan island to inform his highness Leighton, we need to trouble the two captains to send people. It's better to send more teams in secret to prevent the other party from intercepting. In fact, our side is also a kind of double insurance. Your majesty will continue to send people to attack the sea blockade of Yongye army, Get in touch with Dawan island as soon as possible. ” Captain Gordon told the truth.

”Well, I'll make it myself.” Lena, the captain of the fleet, patted her chest without hesitation.

”No, if the captain leaves, what about our landing infantry?” The captain of Cornell shook his head.
