The Rise of the European Emperor

"Quick, order the ships in the back to make a left and right copy, be sure to take down the ships in the front row of Hamburg!" Seeing that the Danish warships had the upper hand, the Danish fleet commander Alkinson hurriedly shouted. Then the Danish herald soldiers conveyed the order with a loud voice.

So, from the left and right wings of the Danish fleet, dozens of warships appeared respectively, and wanted to cooperate with the Danish battleships in the front row, and left and right to copy the front row of the Hamburg fleet.

However, the Hamburgers are not fools. Rolf saw a large number of ships appearing on the left and right sides of the Danish fleet. It seemed that he was about to surround the front row of warships, and he couldn't sit still:

"Go, send the same number of warships, intercept the Danish warships on both sides, and you must not let the warships in front be surrounded!"

Then, the flag soldiers of the Hamburg fleet began to wave their flags vigorously, and a large number of Hamburg warships also rushed out from the side to welcome the Danish warships ...

At this time, in addition to the dozen or so battleships that are fighting head-to-head, and the dozen or so battleships on both sides, the battleships invested by the two sides reached a giant of forty or fifty.

Then, the sea surface became a pot of porridge. Both sides couldn't help but the sailors were injured by arrows, and a small number of Danish sailors jumped into the Hamburg ship and began to hack ...

However, the sailors of the Hamburg fleet have received simple training from the officers sent by Marin. Each ship has a dozen or twenty spearmen, arranged in a dense formation, and slammed those who tried to jump into the battle of Hamburg with spears. Danish sailor on the ship. Therefore, although the Hamburg fleet is at a disadvantage, the fleet is not dangerous. There was only one warship, and because of the fire, most of the members of the fire brigade were shot by the Danish archers, leading to no one fighting the fire. In desperation, the captain had to wear the surviving sailor to abandon the ship, board the spare boat, and paddled backwards. The sailors who failed to catch up with the dinghy could only swim in the sea in the cold ...

"Haha, the Hamburgers lost a warship!" Commander Dankinson of the Danish Fleet saw this and shouted happily.

But, he did n’t know that behind the Danish fleet, 40 warships appeared quietly ...

Kidd, commander of the East Frisian Fleet, is now on the sea 20 kilometers away, climbing to the mast and watching the battle with the telescope ...

In fact, the East Frisian Fleet can already intervene. Because, the fleets of Denmark and Hamburg have been in full contact. However, Kidd is not in a hurry.

"Commander, should we attack?" Captain Lelt, who also climbed the mast and watched the battle with a telescope, asked.

"No hurry, let them fight for a while." Kidd said lightly.

In fact, Kidd is also a frivolous guy. Otherwise, Marin will not appoint him as fleet commander.

At the time, Kidd was a captain of the West Frisian aristocratic republic and was surrendered after being attacked by Marin's men. Marin didn't trust him originally, but because of the lack of talent in his hand, he had to catch the ducks and let Kidd lead the navy fleet.

Later, Marin discovered that Kidd was a frivolous guy, and he was quite talented in naval warfare. The most important thing is that he and Marin are a kind of people, and they are both unwilling to lose money ...

Every time tactics are practiced, Kidd always takes the fleet and can't stop cruising, looking for a suitable fighter, and never easily attack. Once attacked, aim specifically at the opponent's weakness. It is not nonsense to say that it is cunning like a fox.

Moreover, Kidd likes artillery battle very much, and he doesn't like the traditional jet gang tactics. Marin is very precious to the warship in his hand, and naturally he can't take it to fight with people. Therefore, Kidd likes the characteristics of artillery battle, which makes Marin very important, so he promoted him as the fleet commander.

Before this expedition, Kidd had also talked to Marin. When talking about the best time to attack, Kidd believes that the Danish and Hamburg fleets should be allowed to fight for a while. In this way, both sides have lost a lot. If they attack again, they will not only improve the chance of victory, but also covertly weaken the strength of the Allied Hamburg. After all, Hamburg is now an ally of East Friesland, but the future is not necessarily. Moreover, while the loss of Hamburg has increased, the Danes will not be better, and will certainly suffer accordingly. When the East Frisian Fleet reappears after they have suffered a certain loss, not only is it easier to fight Denmark, but it can also weaken Hamburg's strength silently.

After listening to Kidd's views, Marin greatly appreciated it. Therefore, the full command of the fleet naturally fell on Kidd. Even if Columbus is a baron and has a higher status than Kidd, he must accept Kidd ’s command.

After more than an hour, the battle between Denmark and Hamburg became more intense. At this time, hundreds of people have been injured on both sides. Another two warships in Hamburg were burned by the Danes ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ The Danes also lost a warship.

Alkinson couldn't wait, and began to order the entire fleet to press on, trying to surround his opponent with a numerical advantage. After the warships behind Denmark were pressed on, Kidd finally put down the telescope and shouted to the following Bannerman:

"Command attack!"

Then, the East Frisian Fleet, originally hiding 20 kilometers northwest of the Danish Fleet, lifted their sails one after another and began sailing southeast, outswinging Denmark's back road ...

The reason why is not north of the Danish fleet is to consider the characteristics of artillery. If the artillery is fired directly behind the Danish fleet, once the shells are not hit, they may pass the Danish warship and accidentally injure the Hamburg warship. Therefore, it is safest to cut it from the northwest direction and hit the shells to the southeast.

When the East Frisian fleet appeared 10 kilometers northwest of the battlefield, a sharp-eyed Danish sailor finally discovered:

"Report to the captain, a large number of ships were found in the northwest direction!"

Soon, this report was sent to Alkinson by the loud voice of herding soldiers ...

"Northwest direction? Where's the fleet?" However, because the distance is far away, and the Danes do not have a telescope, it is naturally impossible to judge and can only wait. However, for safety's sake, Alkinson ordered some of them to take part in the withdrawal of the warships surrounding the Hamburg Fleet to guard against the unknown fleet.

And on the hamburger side, I can't help myself at this time. After all, the Danish fleet is not only stronger but also larger in number. But after seeing the shadow in the northwest, all the captains of the Hamburger ship who knew the inside story shouted excitedly:

"Our reinforcements are here! Our reinforcements are here!"

Originally low morale, the Hamburg sailors, when they heard of reinforcements, immediately boosted their morale and drove the Danish sailors who jumped on board ...
