    Chapter 459 Naval Battle 2

    I turned to look at the king next to me and said fiercely: "Your Majesty the King, if your fleet does not move, then we will withdraw from this battle!"

    He was stunned and said anxiously: "Didn't you promise us to eliminate the rebels?"

    "good!"

    I nodded and said: "But please note that we are assisting, not attacking! If your fleet does not join the battle, we can only withdraw from the battle and then leave here. I believe that our interest in you is comparable to ours."  There¡¯s a lot more interest!¡±

    Then, regardless of whether he agreed or not, he directly said to Xia Yutian: "Order all ships to quickly withdraw from the battle!"

    Then he turned to the king and said: "When your army joins the battle, we will support you!"

    Seeing our ceasefire, the king suddenly became anxious and said: "We have an agreement!"

    "protocol!"

    I smiled coldly and said: "Your Majesty the King, I hope you can understand that this is your country, you are the main force, we are supporting you, not cannon fodder, we are here in full swing, but you are watching from the side  What? Do you plan on annihilating us when we have finished wiping out the enemy troops and running out of ammunition and food? If you think that way, I owe it to you to give up. If you anger Da Zhou, your country will not be able to bear it! So I hope you  Think clearly, if your fleet joins the war, then we will cooperate with you. If you do not join the war, then we will evacuate this sea area. As for those enemy ships that have been eliminated, treat them as a gift from me to you, and I wish you will be eliminated soon.  Rebels!"

    After the order was conveyed, all the fleets immediately raised their full sails and began to evacuate the battlefield at high speed. Although the enemy ships were smaller than ours, once our fleet evacuated at full speed, it would still be difficult for them to catch up with us.  Coupled with the threat of our artillery, they did not dare to attack rashly, so they turned the bow and chased the king's fleet parked aside.

    And this is when I very politely asked people to prepare the king's ship, intending to let him return to his fleet. After all, we are not going to help them, so he has no reason to stay in our fleet.

    In fact, we are forced to have no choice. Fresh water, food, etc. can be replenished, but ammunition cannot be replenished. We must prevent all possible situations, and one of them is the king's betrayal. After we eliminate the rebels, the ammunition will be consumed.  That's almost it. If they attack us, we will be in danger. Although there may be nothing wrong with Bihan and a few of us, it is difficult to save so much cargo, soldiers and sailors on the ship.  Although someone must avenge them in the end, I still don't want to let their lives be in vain.

    After we ceased fire, the rebels immediately felt that the pressure was greatly reduced. At the same time, they also felt that if they dealt with us, they would probably face the most serious losses, so they left us and rushed towards the king's fleet.  On the other side, they were busy fighting. Before they could organize their formation, they were engaged in a fierce battle with the rebels.

    The number of this fleet is not very large, and although the rebels lost a lot of ships in the battle with us, their number still exceeded them, so as a result of the battle, casualties began to appear here one after another.

    The king looked at the situation on the sea anxiously and said anxiously: "My lord, why don't you help? Don't you see that our army has suffered serious losses?"

    "You can find it yourself!"

    I said coldly: "Originally, if you cooperated well, we could have won this battle, but you had no intention of cooperating at all. Instead, you just watched the fun and didn't even organize the fleet's combat formation. I don't know  Who is commanding over there, but if it were my troops, I would definitely kill that commander, because he doesn¡¯t understand what war is at all!¡±

    He suddenly remembered that the person he sent out just now to prove his identity was his eldest son, so was he the one commanding the ship?

    ¡°My son seems to be very scheming, but sometimes he is just out of loyalty and always thinks that his little cleverness can accomplish great things.

    But now is no longer the time to blame him. The sea is now in chaos. The ships of both sides have begun the most primitive battle on the water, which is to collide or the warriors on each other's ships use bows and arrows or heavy weapons on each other's ships.  Crossbow shooting.  Some ships were originally equipped with trebuchets, but under the current circumstances it is impossible to use trebuchets.

    In terms of numbers and geographical advantages, the king's side has a disadvantage. The other side is downwind, so the force of the collision is naturally greater. In addition, the number is far beyond this side. So as soon as the war comes into contact, the king's side is at a disadvantage.  A lot has been lost.

    Finally, the king could not stand it anymore.He was stunned and said anxiously: "Tell me, what other conditions are needed before agreeing to assist us!"

    I shook my head and said, "I don't need any conditions."

    "Then why don't you help us?"

    The king said anxiously, "Even if we were wrong, then I apologize to you!"

    I still shook my head and said, "You should not apologize to me, but to those soldiers who died. Because of your wrong decisions, many of them who would not have sacrificed themselves died in vain!"

    "However, this is also a lesson. I hope you will carefully consider the consequences when making a decision next time!"

    After finishing speaking, I said to Xia Yutian next to me: "General Xia, order the fleet to move freely, try to control the rate of fire, and aim again before hitting!"

    Xia Yutian was also very angry about the behavior of the king's fleet just now, and said angrily: "If the prince hadn't agreed, I would have been willing to help the rebels this time! Humph!"

    After finishing speaking, he also passed on the order.

    The long-lost sound of artillery sounded again on the sea, but the rate of fire was very slow. The main reason was that the two armies were now mixed together, and it still took time to aim and hit.

    Although he was very busy, the sound of the cannon sounded like the sound of nature to the king's ears.

    Since the fleet's artillery is mainly on both sides, there are only ten guns at most on a ship, but this is also a disaster for those ships made of wood. After the cannonball hits, the explosion can not only kill and injure soldiers, but also damage the ship.  What's more terrible is that boats can cause fires, especially sails. Once they catch fire, there is basically no way to save them.

    However, even if you try your best to aim and fire, there will be accidental damage. After all, the artillery on this ship does not have an advanced fire control system. At the same time, because the shaking of the hull affects the shooting, some shells also fall on friendly forces. In addition to the two armies,  Except for the different flags, the rest of the styles are similar. If your eyes are dazzled, a cannonball may fall on the wrong ground.

    "However, even if it is no longer accurate, this battle must still be fought, and it must be fought."

    As far as the current situation is concerned, the most leisurely thing is that the soldiers on each ship are fighting lively not far away, and the cannons on the ships of their own fleet are ringing like a festival, but they have no chance to fight, and they have only  Lie down on the side of the boat and watch the fun.

    For the entire fleet, we are now more like snipers on one side, holding weapons on one side and shooting on the other. Of course, if we hit, there is nothing we can do if we miss.

    Under the double pressure, the rebels finally couldn't stand it anymore and began to retreat. Originally, if the king's army stopped pursuing at this time, the enemy ships might be within our shooting range for a long distance, so this would  At this distance, we can certainly exert the power of the fleet and inflict heavy damage, but I don¡¯t know what the commander of the fleet thinks. Since we are chasing after others, the accuracy of the artillery will be greatly reduced again at a further distance. In this situation  Next, in order not to harm friendly forces, we had to control the rate of fire of the artillery again, so the sound of the artillery became sparse, and the losses caused to the enemy fleet were much less.

    Seeing the opponent¡¯s king¡¯s fleet chasing after me, I couldn¡¯t help but shake my head and said to Xia Yutian: ¡°Cease fire. At such a distance, our hit rate is too low. It¡¯s just a waste of shells.¡±

    Xia Yutian put down the lens tube and cursed: "The commander of that fleet is a complete idiot! He doesn't know how to fight at all. Now he is obviously no longer within the support range of our firepower. If he is still pursuing us, he is not seeking death!"  Don¡¯t you even understand the saying, ¡°Qiu Kou Mo Zhui?¡±

    At this time, the king's face also felt that there was no harmonious luster. He immediately knew that the commander of the fleet must be his son. His son was scolded as an idiot, and his father's face was not much better.  .

    Sure enough, seeing that the artillery on our side stopped firing, the rebels organized another attack. This caused the king's fleet to be attacked again, leaving several ships behind before escaping in a hurry.

    It didn't take long for this fleet with heavy losses to gradually approach us. Compared with our clean and tidy fleet, their fleet is now like a group of beggars, in tatters and rags everywhere. As for the burned places, they were burned by us.  A place of accidental injury.

    After arriving, one of the ships lowered a small boat and approached us. The soldiers on our fleet raised their heavy crossbows and pointed at the small boat.

    I knew it was the king¡¯s eldest prince who came, so I shook my head, and then the soldiers put down their crossbows.

    After the boat approached our battleship, several soft objects were put down on the boat. Five or six people climbed up the ladder. Walking at the front was the angry-looking eldest prince. When he saw me, he immediately rushed towards me.  He grabbed me by the collar and said angrily: "Why don't you fire!"

     "open!"

    I said coldly.

    "I asked you why you didn't fire!"

    He didn¡¯t let me go, but continued to yell.

    "You have no right to ask me!"

    I said coldly, and put a knee on his stomach. The severe pain made his hand loosen immediately. Then I slammed my right hand on his neck and pressed him hard against the cabin behind him.  Go up, and then said coldly: "If I were the supreme commander of the fleet, you would have looked at me and apologized to those soldiers who died. Therefore, you have no right to accuse me. No one in this world can  Those who accuse me, you are not worthy!"

    Just when I started to do it, several people who came with the prince shouted: "Stop, let go of the prince!"

    "What are you doing? Looking for death!"

    At this time Xia Yutian shouted.

    "Stop!" the king shouted.

    But he ignored it. After he finished speaking, he turned his head slightly and said to the sergeants who came with the prince and had drawn their swords: "You'd better put away your swords, otherwise, then you can try it and see."  Do you have the ability to save your life before you hurt me?"

    It was then that they noticed the surroundings. Dozens of soldiers in full armor were holding heavy crossbows in their hands, all pointing at them. The steel crossbow arrows were shining coldly in the sun!
