Pampering the sea

"Lord Admiral, they are coming!" A soldier walked into the admiral's room amidst the chaos and said in a startled voice.

"I know." The woman's voice was as cold as snow, calm and calm, with a reassuring force.

"Now they have smooth sailing, and they will catch up with our ship soon." The soldier still reported.

"I know." The woman said in a deep voice, with her back leaning against the soldier, her slender figure was tall and tall, she didn't know what she was thinking, she was extremely calm.

The soldier raised his head and said, "Admiral, what should we do now? Should we continue to retreat, or turn the bow and retreat?"

The so-called reverse retreat means that the bow of the ship is facing the enemy ship, and it retreats against the wind and the current. The so-called forward retreat means that the stern of the ship is facing the enemy ship.

If you think about it, you will know that the reverse speed is slow, but it can attack the enemy, while the backward speed is fast, because the weak position of the stern is vacated, and it is easy to speed up without causing damage to the enemy. The process of ship destruction.

The woman quickly drew and wrote on the paper with a pen, then quickly turned her head and said in a deep voice, "Listen!"

"exist!"

"Huangchuan No. [-], Huangchuan No. [-], Minya No. [-], and Golden No. [-] retreated against the wind and carried out bombing attacks on the enemy. The Francophones and the bowl-mouth guns were all filled with gunpowder and must be bombarded non-stop! The rest All eighteen ships retreated with the wind, and the soldiers behind the ships quickly threw fireballs, fire bricks and fire buckets as cover, and after about ten nautical miles, turned the bows and attacked!"

"Yes!" the soldier replied loudly.

"Also..." Xin Yue whispered something in the soldier's ear, the soldier nodded and retreated quickly.

Xin Yue narrowed his eyes, and sneered at the corner of his mouth, what was that person over there thinking?Want to chase her fleet and use your advantage to come to her ship for hand-to-hand combat?I'm sorry, but she won't force herself to fight against others' strengths. Since long-range shooting has a great advantage and the rate of victory in hand-to-hand combat is almost zero, she won't let them have the possibility of getting close.

Want to play a game of cat and mouse?Then, let's see who is the cat and who is the mouse in the end, who is chasing after him, and who is running away.

Xin Yue was playing with a pen in his hand, with a smile on his lips, and his eyes shone with a clear luster in the wind and waves.

"Use this trick?" Chu Zhiling looked down from the very height of the Ilis gunboat, watching the enemy's formation, his eyes were dark and difficult to distinguish.

"Captain, are you planning to sacrifice these four ships by doing this over there? As long as we catch up, those four ships will have no power at all." The soldier on the side said in a deep voice.

"Maybe, but maybe, it's not like that." After quick thinking, Chu Zhiling quickly understood the enemy's warship's intentions, and a smile of interest flashed in his eyes, "I really want to catch this kid I never imagined that besides Yan Zhan, there would be such a powerful figure in Ming Dynasty."

"Captain, what should we do now?"

"Send the order, Ilis gunboat No. 13, No. [-], No. [-], No. [-] with full sail and full left rudder, move forward at full speed to break up the enemy formation, must be fast!"

A deep voice sounded in the chaos, Chu Zhiling raised her phoenix eyes slightly, and said quickly and seriously.

Soon, the two large ships with three masts and three decks began to cut through the waves, galloping forward like arrows off the string. The two medium-sized but famous for their high flexibility The gunboat followed, and on the four ships, the Thunder Cannon and Lumi Gun kept attacking the fleet in front of them for a moment, brilliant sparks bloomed between the sky and the earth, and the sound of the conch horn sounded loudly and endlessly, and the sound of artillery attack was even more one after another. With a sound, the situation was in an uproar.

You can use four ships to cover and leave, why can't I use four ships to attack the forward?

Chu Zhiling casually evoked a smile, his bright black eyes reflected the firelight that filled the sky.

He stood at the height of the fleet, facing the wind with his face up, his clothes fluttering, talking and laughing, the mast and scull were blown up into ashes.

"Listen to my military order, all speed up!" On the official ship of the imperial court, a voice as cold as snow suddenly sounded.

"But Lord Admiral, the ship is already extremely fast!" A soldier said anxiously and embarrassed.

Xin Yuexiu frowned faintly, her bones turned white, she was careless, she was really careless, she knew that the speed of the Ilis gunboat had increased a lot, but she didn't expect it to become so fast, it almost surpassed The speed level of ancient ships she knows, she has always regarded this era as the Ming Dynasty, and estimated the enemy's fleet according to the history she is familiar with, thinking that no matter how strong the fleet of the pirates and the Dutch army is, it will not be as strong as the records. There is a big discrepancy, but she has forgotten that this era is much more chaotic than she imagined, and everything is about to be re-planned.

But panic at this time is simply suicidal. As a leading officer, you must have a strong ability to withstand and a high degree of resilience in the face of unexpected situations. Raising those calm eyes, he said in a deep voice:

"Then hand-to-hand combat! Listen to the order, the four ships that cover the departure sail, stop retreating, turn sideways and line up, it is enough to fight the enemy's cannon with one side, stick to the position, and never let the enemy warship catch up with the main ship The eighteen ships, including the ship, were not afraid of hand-to-hand combat. They laid Hunjianglong mines underneath, and they would trigger the mines if they couldn't hold them. In short, the soldiers on the four ships would rather die than surrender! If anyone tried to escape, the remaining eighteen All ships, concentrated artillery attack, remember the principle, everyone in the Ming Dynasty is a warrior, no fugitives are allowed!"

While the flag bearer was waving the flag of the order, a sailor blew the conch to assist in the order. Once this order was issued, the whole ship was in an uproar.

There are more than [-] soldiers on the four ships. They are not allowed to flee or surrender when they know they will be defeated. It has been a long time since Ming Chao had such a harsh and ruthless officer.

And on Chu Zhiling's boat, there was also an uproar.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the enemy is invincible in a hundred battles. Soldiers who deciphered the order of the enemy ship came to report the news. Chu Zhiling frowned slightly, not as calm as before. Obviously, he did not dare to treat the other party lightly. Hairy boy.

Soon, the Ilis gunboat attacked next to the Mingchao ship, but the order for a board battle was not issued for a long time.

How can I send it?

God knows whether these people will wipe out the elite soldiers and good generals of the Dutch army with themselves as soon as they get on the imperial ship, but if they send a few people up at a time and take turns to fight, then the main ship is covered and retreated. up.

This kid is a lunatic, and he doesn't play cards according to common sense at all!Chu Zhiling frowned.
