Chapter 1816 things are under control
The new commander of the fleet, Earl Presley, was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling, and he looked around in a daze. He also looked blind, "Ben, do you think we should continue or escape?"
A playboy who only knows how to live and die in a life of wine and despair, and when he goes to such a cruel battlefield, he faces a scene that if he continues to command the fleet forward, he will inevitably be sniped by the Xiao family's heavy artillery, and the risk of death is too great.
But what if you retreat?
Isn’t this the robbery failed, or will it collapse without fighting?
Until now, the Evans fired a few guns, and the artillery on dozens of other merchant ships basically did not fire, but only got a few guns.
At that time, he will command the fleet other than Evans, and the responsibility of defeat without fighting is he, Presley or Earl Evans? Is Earl Evans dead or alive? If he dies, it would be fine. If that person is still alive and if he is still in danger, how can he send the bus to Ventra?
Grand Duke Ventra is an iron-blooded grand duke with strict military means. Thanks to Grand Duke Ventra's iron-blooded arrogance, Ventera's army style is still very enterprising and wild and cruel.
They often take the initiative to invade Liu State and loot merchant ships such as Lu State. Even if the benefits are not great, they will be damaged.
When it comes to the overall naval atmosphere, most of them can be considered barbaric and are not afraid of death. Even if the situation in advance is unfavorable, it may rely on enterprising morale and barbaric death to win.
Grand Duke Ventra also encouraged and advocated this enterprising spirit and barbaric morale. soldiers who could do these things would often be rewarded and defeated without fighting? That would be severe punishment.
If he escapes, even if he goes back, let alone whether he violates the military's military's aggressive and enterprising atmosphere, the Grand Duke hates it.
This was slapped in the face by the Xiao family caravan again. Once the eldest prince became angry, he would just vent his anger, the unlucky guy.
His mind was in a mess and he asked Ben Marbury for advice with a pale face. Ben said hurriedly, "Escape, Earl, we must be the next target to be concentrated. Regardless of the others, escape first, not die here."
Presley nodded, "Send the flag and escape!"
After he shouted, he found that the many sailors on the surrounding deck were either looking around in a daze, looking dejected, or looking surprised and relaxed... But no one really spread his military order. The Earl's Excellency was so angry that he pulled out his waist and slashed at a dazed sailor, "A cheap thing, please send a flag and escape!"
The sailor who was stabbed shouted back with a terrifying look in his eyes, and there was a look of daring to speak out. The timid and timid sailors shouted in a hurry.
New military orders began to spread on the deck.
The flag commander who received the order was speechless and had to issue orders to evacuate and escape to more than 50 surrounding merchant ships.
These orders made more than fifty naval soldiers from the Principal of Ventra up and down, extremely speechless and messy.
The Duchy of Ventra is here to advocate enterprising spirit and barbaric morale.
The last commander's flagship, Evans, was seriously injured and evacuated. More soldiers on the merchant ships were not scared out of fear. Instead, some of the officers and soldiers were in a hurry and wanted to fight forward quickly. They gave Xiao's merchant ships a few more shots, and vented their angrily revenge for Earl Evans and cleared their name for the Principality of Ventra.
However, the new commander ordered all the personnel to retreat. Most of the gunships were not fired and evacuated in shame before they were fired. When they retreated, they would not only be reluctant, but even if they went back, they would be severely punished by the Grand Duke as a coward.
A few hundred meters away, a new flag was immediately raised on a viscount general's car of about 200 tons, which was another flag that took over the command of the fleet.
The new command flag also quickly conveyed flag words to the surrounding ships and attacked!
More than fifty merchant ships of the Principality of Ventera, thousands of navy were a little blind.
……………………
"Puff haha~"
"I am so laughing to death. We have only managed half of the pirates, and the group of pirates are in chaos. Fire!"
"Aim at the new command ship and beat me up, and beat me to death!"
…………
On the flagship of the Xiao family merchant ship, Xiao Jichen saw the panic scene of his opponent through Baili Jing, and almost made his stomach hurt.
Mr. Xiao, who had been paying close attention to the situation of the war, hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, "Young Master, this battle is stable. Although the most important contribution is the group of god gunners from the Da Shang Dynasty, the second idiot of the Principality of Ventera who took over the command will also contribute most of the contribution to us."
After pausing, the follower smiled bitterly, "Actually, if it weren't for that idiot who was too greedy for life and fear of death, even if we could win in the end, we would have to pay a certain price. The military style of the Principal of Ventra is still worthy of recognition."
Nobles with different titles take charge of their own ships. They will first capture the king if they capture the thief. Whether it is naval or land, if the boss is killed and destroyed, it will definitely be a big blow to the enemy's morale.
Look at the preparations of the Principality of Ventra? Earls, viscounts, and even baron-class armed merchant ships are probably prepared with flags that symbolize the command of the fleet.
The count was seriously injured and could not withstand it, so the other one, and then the viscount and the baron...
With such a reduced command power, resistance power, and the morale of the army, you have to admit that the opponent's combat effectiveness is still guaranteed. At least if it is a caravan like the Xiao family, if their young master's ship is seriously injured or sunk, it will be difficult for other merchant ships to maintain subsequent combat effectiveness.
Xiao Jichen laughed again, "It's a desirable thing. Tsk tsk, there are 57 large and small ships in total. The Evans was seriously injured and withdrawn from the battle sequence. The Presley fled after taking over, but this escape actually took only more than a dozen ships."
"The third guy who stood up could still rush up with more than 30 large and small ships? Fire up the fire and hit me hard!"
Now, the armed merchant ships of the Principal of Ventra have been divided into two parts, and their morale is in chaos. Even if they still have the courage to attack and fight against the Xiao family merchant ship, the opponent's overall firepower is not enough.
Although there are many people on the opposite side, there are only six cannons on a small boat with dozens of tons, and one cannon is installed on both sides. There may be only five or six cannons on a one-sided side, and a Xiao family warship can top the sum of seven or eight ships on the other side, not only the number, but also the weight.
It was in such a loud laugh that the naval battle between the two sides had completely entered a white-hot stage. Dozens of warships were separated by three or four hundred meters, and hundreds of cannons were fired together, making this sea area full of smoke and fire.
However, the matter was under Xiao Jichen's control. The Xiao family could hit several small and medium-sized ships by just firing and firing at a volley of fire. This not only caused heavy damage to those, but also caused a bit of a firefighting in the gunpowder depot.
The armor thickness of the Xiao family warship can often bounce even if it is bombarded by several enemy guns.
