Chapter 742 The Battle Situation Collapses

The new attack caused the rescue fleet to panic again.

Now it is on the vast sea, and all the warships are sailing at a high speed.

The effect of the black field bomb is far less miraculous than it was on the Donau River.

However, if used with a large number of mines, it can still have an unexpected effect.

As soon as many warships rushed from the black area, they plunged into the extremely fresh minefield without any precautions, and were burned to death.

After sinking seven or eight warships in a row.

The speed of the chasing battleship group has dropped significantly, and we have to treat every black area with caution.

In this way, the purpose of the explorer fleet is achieved.

The sea mine itself is not an offensive weapon. What I did just now is to get my own warship out of trouble. As long as this goal is achieved, it doesn't matter how many opponent's warships were sunk.

The more severely damaged ship No. 118, after leaving the battle, opened up at full speed and headed straight for the Donau Plain.

The remaining battleships reorganized into formation, like a ferocious shark, and continued to revolve around the rescue fleet of the East China Sea, closing the distance between the two sides from time to time, firing them a salvo, and destroying several of their warships.

After the first round of blocking, the explorer fleet became more cautious. As long as they saw the opponent's fleet showing signs of gathering to block, they would avoid it from a distance and pick their weakest places to strike.

"Your Highness, we cannot continue to entangle with them here. The longer the stalemate lasts, the more damage they will cause us. Our main task is to rescue the main fleet led by His Majesty. Now we have attracted their fleet. This The goal is basically achieved, let's continue to approach the mouth of the Donau River, hold the mouth of the river, and greet His Majesty's main fleet, and it will not be too late to plan!" Captain Cornell suggested.

Captain Bray agreed: "The warships led by the Yongye army are stronger than we expected. Unless we force them into a special environment, it will be difficult to overwhelm them with numerical superiority. At least we can't do it alone. Yes, in my opinion, welcoming His Majesty is still a top priority, but this matter cannot wait until we arrive at the mouth of the sea. We should send someone to inform His Majesty in advance, and when we hold back their fleet, we will withdraw first. "

"Since the two captains have said so, let's act according to the plan. After reuniting with the main fleet, we will drive them into terrain that is not conducive to them and wipe them out completely." Not reconciled, reason still let him nod.

Because he would not be able to think of a better strategy to deal with the fleet led by the Yongye Army for a while.

Can't catch up.

The attack can't be attacked again.

The only thing to do is to keep fighting and consuming.

Regardless of the loss of the number of warships, they consumed all their ammunition alive, and then used faster fast ships to chase and intercept them.

It's just that this method consumes too much and takes a long time. No one knows how many shells are carried on the battleship led by the Yong Ye Army, and how difficult it is to replenish their shells.

Once the miscalculation is made, the result is that he loses his wife and loses his army.

Prince Layton did not have the guts to make such a decision.

It's better to meet up with his father Stubin as soon as possible and let him make a decision.

at the same time.

Donau River, the temporary flagship of the East China Sea Fleet, the Water God.

Stupin, who had just fallen asleep for less than half an hour, sat up suddenly, listened for a few seconds, rushed onto the deck with bare feet, and asked the sailors on the deck repeatedly: "Did you hear the sound of the guns?" ? Did you hear the cannon?"

"Cannon sound? Report back to Your Majesty, the enemy has not launched any attack since yesterday, and we have not heard any cannon sound." The bosun among the sailors who were questioned replied bravely.

Could it be that His Majesty was too tired and had an illusion in his sleep?

Just as these words flowed from his lips, they were swallowed abruptly by the bosun.

Recently, His Majesty the King's temper has become more irritable and volatile, even if he is a little bit unintentional, a whip dipped in salt water would be light.

All those who followed him were cautious.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Stubbs is in a terrible state now, his face is gloomy, his eyes are covered with bloodshot threads like spider webs, and he has not closed his eyes for an unknown amount of time.

Having said that, no matter who is in his current position, he will not sleep well.

During this period of time, whenever he heard the roar of artillery fire, Stubin would wake up with a start, fearing that the Yong Ye army leader would launch a full-scale attack on them regardless of the damage.

Once awake, it is difficult to fall asleep again.

However, the fatigue tactics of Yong Ye's army leader are playing tricks.

Feint attack, real attack, day raid, night raid, combination of virtual and real, etc.

All kinds of tactics can be described as varied.

No one knows whether the opponent is bombarding them with conventional shelling to scare them, or to cover their boarding troops and rush over to snatch their warships.

Especially after their landing force collapsed, their life became more difficult.

No one in the East Sea Fleet wanted to mention the battle two days ago, especially in front of King Stubbing.

That was no longer a battle, but a one-sided massacre.

Only a few senior officers of the East China Sea Fleet know that the situation has fallen into a total collapse, not after the landing force collapsed, but three days ago, Captain Gordon, who went to the squadron to pass on Stupin's order, fled back in embarrassment after start.

Captain Gordon, who returned to the East China Sea Fleet, really looked like he was crying and smelling sad.

The arrowheads that were taken out of him one after another weighed half a catty, and the ill-fitting armor that he snatched from the Yong Ye army leader had already turned into a sieve. I don't know how many interceptions and pursuits he passed through along the way.

The most terrible thing is that there is a three to four centimeters long piercing knife cut in the abdomen. Judging from the chrysanthemum-shaped knife mark, it was caused by the repeated twisting of the Yongye Saber after it was pierced.

Fortunately, the position was slightly staggered, and the vital organs in the abdomen were not directly hit. Otherwise, Captain Gordon would not have the ability to come back alive.

The incision had undergone relatively proper first-aid treatment, but during high-intensity exercise, it repeatedly cracked. The bandage that wrapped the wound had turned black and red. I don’t know how many times it had been soaked in blood. The smell can kill people half to death.

The carrion dug out from the wound weighed a pound, and the internal organs could be clearly seen.

When Captain Gordon saw King Stubbins, he only had time to say, "Siamore betrayed, and the Great Bay Islands are in danger."

He fell into a deep coma, and has not yet come to life. It is still unknown whether he can survive.

This news stunned Stubbs on the spot.

Previously, they only considered the difficult situation of the main force of the East China Sea Fleet, but ignored the situation of the East China Sea Fleet Squadron.

Since the leader of the Yongye army has been holding back evil from the very beginning, he plotted against them.

How could it be possible to count them all the way?

If the situation of the East China Sea Fleet Squadron is also extremely difficult, let alone come to support them.

Whether Captain Siamore is reliable or not is another matter.

At least Stubin never gave the other party 100% trust, which is best proved by the fact that he did not hesitate to lead the team himself.

Siamore's betrayal was already extremely bad news, and the latter news made Stubin sleepless all night and fell into a state of madness.

Because he not only asked for help from Captain Siamore, but also asked for help from the left-behind fleet of the Great Bay Islands.

There was no problem in doing so.

While the main force of the East China Sea Fleet was trapped on the Donnao River, the water forces led by the Yongye Army should also be restrained by them.

It would be extremely stupid to ask for help from the Great Bay Islands if the premise of Siamore's betrayal was substituted.

At that time, not only will the manpower of the leader of the Yongye army on the Wuhe battlefield be free, but the squadron led by Siamore will become the help of the leader of the Yongye army, and will attack the Dawan Islands, the home of the East China Sea.

Stubin was very aware of Siamore's character. The other party would either not betray him, or if he betrayed, he would be extremely ruthless. He would never stop until the Donghai Kingdom was uprooted, so as to prevent Stubin from retaliating in the future.

Originally, Stubin still had the last hope for this matter, hoping that Captain Gordon would make a mistake, but Schiamore did not make such a decision.

This expectation was broken after half a day.

Because reinforcements from the ground troops of the Yong Ye Army Commander arrived.

A cavalry regiment and two infantry regiments are out-and-out offensive troops.

The former is a regiment of heavy cavalry, each of whom is a regular knight armed to the teeth.

The latter is equally shocking, and they are all composed of Kentana barbarians who are two meters away. They are also well equipped with heavy armor.

The advantage of heavy cavalry is that they charge collectively, and after losing speed, they appear clumsy.

The Kentana heavy infantry is a little bit worse in collective charge, but after charging, they are more mobile.

What made Stubin vomit blood the most was that the leader of the Yongye army, who clearly had the best infantry in the world, still did not charge forward even though he had an absolute advantage.

The artillery was the first to go out, and under the guard of the army formation, there was a burst of indiscriminate bombardment.

After blasting the landing troops of the Eastern Sea Kingdom to pieces, all the legions rushed up and tore them up and ate them up.

Although Stubbing led the fleet to do his best to support it, he still failed to prevent the tragedy from coming.

The 50,000 landing troops, under the opponent's full-scale attack, didn't even persist for a long time, and most of them knelt down and begged for surrender.

There were also a large number of sailors who jumped into the Donau River in a hurry, trying to swim back to the East China Sea Fleet.

However, the leader of the Yongye army had already prepared for it. The artillery camp that extended up later was bombarded indiscriminately, and the arrows of the Longbow Corps rained down like rain.

Under such circumstances, even the East China Sea Fleet itself was overwhelmed, let alone the sailors who jumped into the river in a panic.

In the end, less than five thousand people were able to escape to the East China Sea Fleet alive, and most of them were shot to death by random arrows on the shore, sank to the bottom of the river, and became floating corpses.

After the destruction of the landing force, the life of the East China Sea Fleet became more difficult.

Because the threat of shelling they faced no longer only originated from the river, but also from both sides.

Their artillery camp was far more flexible than they had expected, elusive and elusive, popping up from places they didn't expect from time to time, giving them a bombardment.

Now their warships dare not even approach the relatively narrow river to prevent attacks from the ground.

Now that the East China Sea Fleet wanted to return to the sea, it was no longer as simple as breaking through their fleet's interception and interception. They had to bear the obstruction from the shore in the narrow area along the Donau River.

Now there is a second voice within the main force of the East China Sea Fleet.

It is an extremely stupid choice to think that they are now on the Donau River, waiting for help.

When they discovered that attacking Jiangmen Port was a trap, they should have rushed out immediately, regardless of the cost.

Because the longer the delay on the Donau, the more passive their situation became.

And then extended to questioning Stubin's personal ability.

Such remarks are typical afterthoughts, and they only dare to whisper in secret. No one has dared to speak to Stubbs in person.

When they first saw the fierce artillery attack by the Yongye Army, their morale was completely taken away, and the entire East China Sea Fleet was in chaos. What did you do.

Under such circumstances, rushing to attack the sea fleet that is waiting for the leader of the Yongye Army in a swarm is no different from a frightened sardine school. They will only be driven around by the enemy until they are driven into the most suitable hunting ground, where they will feast wildly.

Stabilizing the morale of the army, allowing them to adapt to the artillery attack of the Yongye Army Commander, and finding a more suitable time to break out of the siege, was definitely a prudent choice at the time.

It's just that they didn't expect that the layout of Yong Ye's army leader was intertwined, and they were always forcing them to their death.

It made Stubin feel that it was not that he was incompetent, but that the enemy was too cunning.

After receiving Captain Gordon's warning, Stubbs was frantically thinking of ways to remedy it.

It's just that he himself knows that the effect is not ideal.

Not to mention that the leader of the Yongye army will not sit idly by, just a distance is an insurmountable obstacle.

They don't have giant eagle mounts like the Yongye army leader. Over the years, although they have been imitating the Yongye army leader, trying to build their own mountain eagle communication system.

But this kind of communication system is more suitable for fixing the connection between islands. For warships whose whereabouts are uncertain, the effect is not bad.

Stubbing was not sure at all whether the gray duck he had released would find the Dawan Islands, and when he would be able to find it.

And counting the time, Layton estimated that he had already assembled the remaining fleet and embarked on the road to rescue.

On the Dawan Islands side, even if they receive news, it is of little use.

Now change the strategy, rush out rashly, and find a way to rescue the Dawan Islands, that is the real stepping on thunder everywhere.

Not only will the Dawan Islands be lost, but the main force of the East China Sea Fleet will also suffer a serious blow, and then it will fall into the arms of the Yongye Army Commander.

Under such circumstances, Stubin couldn't help wondering whether Captain Gordon's escape was a kind of luck?

Or is it another trap of the Yong Ye army leader?

The captain of the Siamoore did not surrender to the leader of the Yongye army, and was still entangled with the leader of the Yongye army on the Wuhe battlefield.

The rescuers he sent were intercepted by the Yongye Army Leader, who took the opportunity to deploy.

The purpose was to break the deadlock, induce him to make a wrong judgment, and rush out regardless of the cost, so as to severely damage the main force of their fleet.

This is not purely suspicious of Stupin.

The impression given to him by the leader of the Yong Ye army, from top to bottom, has always been strict in style.

Even the cooperation between legions has reached a seamless level.

How could he not even see a seriously injured prisoner, not only let him escape, but also let him bring extremely top-secret news?
