Chapter 741 (2/2)
In this process, the artillery bombardment of the other side has never stopped, and the accuracy is not comparable to their ship borne catapults. Many of them explode directly around their warships.
Splash of cold sea water, will many people wake up, let them become fear, run away in a hurry.
When the people behind found that to stay away from fleeing was the best way to protect their lives under the fire of the Yongye army's fleet.
When we see the Yongye army leading the fleet towards themselves, we instinctively make this choice.
As a result, the normal naval battle appeared an extremely absurd scene.
The rescue fleet of donghaiguo, in addition to the scale-up and tough counterattack at the beginning of contact, the rest was to flee.
Where the explorers' fleet passed by, the surrounding warships turned towards the distance and fled in a hurry.
Many warships changed direction too suddenly, the number of warships was too large, the formation was dense, and there were many dangerous links. There were almost no large number of collision incidents.
What really saved them was that their fleet was big enough that the explorers' fleet could choose too many targets to attack, and they would not bite the same target.
What they need to do is to follow the long fleet line of the donghaiguo rescue fleet, driving and shelling all the way. They don't care how much fireworks they make and how much damage they cause to the enemy.
”Fool! Fool! A group of idiots, you are only helping to increase their arrogance and cause more damage to our fleet. Stop them. The warships behind you, regardless of the damage, rush up and intercept them Prince Leighton, who was disheartened, saw behind him the smoke of gunpowder and the chaos of the war situation. He was very angry and furious.
”No use, your highness.” Captain Bree should calm down a lot. ”The other side's attack is too fierce. Our morale has been taken away by them, not to mention that the orders can not be passed down. Even if the orders are passed on, not many people will comply with them. Now we can't count on them. What we need to do now is to integrate the elite around us to prepare for the second shock of the other side.
If I'm right, the other party will come back after a circle. If we don't find a way to stop them, they will keep turning and gnawing like sharks swallowing whales, until we are torn apart to pieces
”Uncle Brey is quite right.” On hearing this, Prince Leighton's face had turned from anger to white, because he knew what captain Bree said was true.
If that happens, they will not go to rescue the main force of the East China Sea fleet, but will send their heads to the Yongye army leader.
Prince Leighton jumped his feet and said, ”order the surrounding fleet to gather on the banjamin, form an interception front on the spot, and pass on my previous orders. Don't be afraid of the sinking of the warship. All losses shall be borne by the royal family, and all compensation shall be doubled.”
After the initial confusion and confusion, the head of the donghaiguo rescue fleet, which was washed up, recovered a little bit.
When they were quiet, they found that the damage caused by the Yongye army's fleet was not as great as they thought.
First of all, the other side is driving artillery at a high speed. The difficulty coefficient of aiming is much higher than that of static shelling. The distance between the two sides also increases the difficulty coefficient.
In the end, the number of warships of the other side is too small. Now it looks a bit like a shark gnawing at a whale. Even if we try our best to tear the huge wound, it is just a non fatal small wound for the whale compared with the shark.
This discovery undoubtedly greatly encouraged their morale.
What's more, Prince Leighton's promise followed.
This is a great deal, which greatly stimulated the captains and captains.
They have just fled in a hurry. To a large extent, their fear of death is only on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are afraid that their warships will be sunk. This is all the family property that they have managed to accumulate in their life. Once they sink, they will not be as good as death.Now with security, courage is rising.
Sure enough, an hour later, the fleet led by the Yongye army circled the donghaiguo rescue fleet for a circle and then returned.
”Go ahead and stop them. If we hold them for half an hour, our fleet will be able to surround him heavily.” The flagship of the rescue fleet, Benjamin, led by Prince Leighton, took the lead and rushed to meet the explorers' fleet.
At such times, the flagship does not take the lead in the charge, and no one else will gather up morale and courage.
Only in this way, the huge flagship is bound to become the target of the explorers' fleet's fire. As soon as the distance between the two sides is getting closer, a series of shells will explode around the Benjamin.
However, the purpose of taking the lead in the charge was achieved. At least 150 warships in the East China Sea, large and small, responded to the charge.
Drums roar, fierce and fearless toward the Yongye army fleet.
”All warships should sail at a deviation of 45 degrees. They should keep a distance from enemy ships. They should not be obsessed with fighting. They should try not to engage in string warfare. They should not fall behind as far as possible. If their hull damage exceeds 20 percent, they should immediately withdraw from the battle.” General Arnold, captain of the Explorer fleet, also gave a series of instructions.
Firepower and speed are the two advantages of their fleet.
Make full use of these two advantages, they are qualified to deal with the fleet of the east sea state.
How can they give each other a chance to intercept and encircle themselves?
At the beginning of the war, Lord Sean repeatedly stressed that protecting his own warship was the first target in the battle, and the second was the target to kill as much as possible.
Their warships are far more valuable than those in the East China Sea. Even if they exchange ten Dreadnought sailing ships for one of them, they will not change them.
The explorers' fleet scraped past before Prince Leighton's interceptor fleet formed a siege.
There were still a few warships, entering the range of the flagship Benjamin.
The East China Sea fleet, which was choked with fire, immediately tilted the black powder shells.
At this time, the advantages of the intrepid are fully reflected.
Its huge size makes it more resistant to beating. After being hit by three guns, the fire is in full swing, and it still fails to cause fatal damage to it.
There are enough catapults on it. In terms of quantity, one can carry the firepower of three new wave breaking warships led by Yongye army.
Even if only a small part of the ammunition hit the Yongye army leading warship, it still caused a lot of trauma, even the speed was reduced by several knots.
”Yes, yes. These warships have a long range, a faster speed, and are not much stronger than us. As long as they are close to them, they can find a chance to sink them.”
”Catch up, catch up, absolutely can't let them run. If you want to stop us, you have to pay a heavy price.”
”To capture their warships, we must capture their warships. We must find out why their warships are so fierce in firepower and faster than our warships.”
”Yes, as long as we understand this, we should be afraid of them?”
”Go up, hurry up!”
Banjamin hit the Yongye leading warship, which greatly encouraged the morale of the donghaiguo rescue fleet.
In particular, those warships close to each other are fiercer than others, just like fighting chicken blood.
Because they see huge benefits.
The reason why the warships led by the Yongye army turned their tricks around depends on the super fierce long-range firepower and the speed of surpassing their warships.
If they can get these two things in hand, they will not only dominate the East China Sea, but will even be able to counter attack the Western sea area and become the overlord there.
This hot idea, let them ignore the danger of death.
”Order 118 to withdraw the battle, return to repair, 117 and 119, cover nearby, defeat them! The whole ship will replace the black zone bombs, drop mines and conduct tactical interception. ” General Arnold ordered calmly.
Then there was a dull roar of artillery, and more than 300 meters of black area bombs fell down at the same time, making the blue sea surface more than 300 full black areas with a diameter of more than 30 meters.
