Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Barudis Army arrived belatedly, giving Fang Xian, oh no, specifically Yu Yan too much time.  Coupled with Gruhart's rich combat experience, he has calculated all possibilities, all response methods, and all possible battle losses and subsequent developments.

    Maldenard cleverly avoided the first round of artillery fire from the Barudis Army, and the two fleets withdrew left and right.

    In naval battles in this era, unless you have an absolute advantage in maneuverability, or the enemy is forced to defend one place, it is difficult to start a large-scale war.  After all, most of them say that the artillery is placed on the flanks, making it difficult to pursue them if they want to bomb. If they want to pursue them, they can only rely on two painless hits from the bow cannon.

    One drum, declined again, and exhausted three, Barudis drumped a momentum of punch.

    "Take St. John and defend the base. No one can carry out the attack under the artillery fire of the Royal Navy!!" Balusi obviously expected this result. Although he felt strange in his heart, he had no choice.  As a commander, you must be absolutely firm even if you order your men to die.

    Soon, the Baroudis warships sailed into St. John's Port and lined up in a row. They were confident that their firepower network would cover the entire fan-shaped area outside the port.  A small wave of sailors occupied the port fortifications, implemented the commander's strategic deployment, and held on to the ground.  After all, they are the Spanish Navy. Calculated this way, the number of cannons has exceeded a thousand. With this level of defense, even the extremely arrogant Pasha Army or the British Navy in the Mediterranean would frown.

    "Let you know what real firepower is." Barudis squinted at the approaching dense fleet, at least he was extremely determined in his heart.

    Maldenard and the Esconte army stayed outside the artillery range.  No longer moving forward, just spreading the ships out like a fishing net.

    "Did you see it?" Baroudis smiled disdainfully, "Although these weak children are crazy, they still don't have the courage to challenge their father's authority."

    Every time Baroudis is proud, the lookout will deliver good news.

    "SisiCommander!"

    "" Barudis had no intention of scolding him, "I swear. This is your last day as the sentinel of the flagship."

    ¡°But¡­Commander of the Division¡­the opponent¡¯s fleet is far out of the range of fire¡­starting to spread out their formation¡­¡±

    "Hmph, you are so full of momentum, are you scared after all?"

    "No, no. Their formation is an artillery formation, and they should be aiming at us"

    "Joke!" Baroudis had to pick up the telescope again and watched it briefly.  His brows were furrowed.

    What greeted him was a dense muzzle. From this distance, it looked like ants standing in a huge square array. The number was indescribable. The extremely regular density made people feel dizzy.

    Barudis swallowed and spat: "This is crazyour army has twice the number of ship-borne artillerythe battleships are also larger than our army."

    "Commander they asked our army to surrender Baruschi fell silent. He is not a reckless man. As the commander-in-chief of a country, he knows how to measure combat power and has the ability to arm a fleet with such a large number of artillery. His artillery shells must also be  I don't know how to check, plus this neat formation. Each fleet seems to have assigned a firepower range, and it is obvious that there is an extremely excellent gunnery instructor.

    The firepower of these two fleets alone is at least equal to that of the two navy fleets, plus the two weird "iron lumps" next to them, as well as the support of Esconte and Maldenard.

    Barudis knew clearly that there was almost no hope of victory in this battle.

    The struggle between dignity and rationality lasted for more than ten seconds.

    at last.  What Baroudis chose was a fluke.

    Maybe the enemy¡¯s artillery shells are not Heavy Cannon level?  Maybe the artillery skills of these Easterners are very average?  The navy is waiting for work and refuses to accept ports. If the enemy attacks, they have the advantage of the first round of shooting. Maybe they can sink half of the enemy's warships in that round?

    Barudis chose silence and refused to respond to the Fang Navy¡¯s surrender.

    By convention.  Within 30 seconds, the rear navy launched the first round of covering bombardment.

    As the whole sea roared, Barudis showed almost the same expression as Espinoza at that time. Although the two people's personalities and beliefs were very different, when faced with this shock, their reactions were surprisingly consistent.  .

    This shelling distance and accuracy are unprecedented.

    When the cannons were fired, even the Fang Navy's battle fleet was swayed far away by its own recoil.

    This round of artillery bombardment gave Gruhart a long time to aim, and coupled with the huddled formation of the Barus army, it can be said that the power of the artillery was maximized.

     Before the cannonball was fired, Gruhart had already reported to Fang Xian: "Admiral, this battle has been won."

    "You have such a big mouth, so crazy." Fang Xian smiled, "But your expression doesn't look like you've won?"

    Gruhart sighed: "Purely from the perspective of military quality, Barudis is an excellent commander. I am ashamed to defeat him in this way."

    Fang Xian stood up and took a look at the opponent's formation from a distance, and instantly understood Gruhart's sorrow: "The formation is too dense, you are looking for death."

    "Well, Baruschi must have wanted to use a dense formation to maximize the concentration of firepower. He attacked preemptively in defense without giving people a chance to react. This is a sign of extreme confidence. It's a pity"

    "It's a pity that he doesn't know our range."

    "Yes, such a victory is contrary to honor." Gruhart sighed.

    "Honour? This word is outdated. You are not a knight or a soldier, right?"

    Gruhart was dumbfounded, it was true, he was just a deputy admiral employed in private relations.

    "Admiral, can you please allow me an unkind request?"

    "I understand, it's up to you." Fang Xian agreed happily, "I'm not interested in a person's life."

    "Thanks."

    About 20 seconds after this conversation ended, the world outside St. John's Harbor was already a purgatory on earth.

    Although the Spanish Navy is an invincible force, invincible and has countless great achievements, when faced with almost next-generation firepower.  Still so fragile.

    None of the 9 large Spanish sailing ships were spared. Almost every ship was hit by more than three bullets. Some were tilted directly to silence, some were burning in raging fires, and some were broken into several sections

    Only the flagship where Barudis was located was safe and sound, and not even a single shell fell within a hundred meters around the flagship, just like the protective circle Sun Wukong drew for Tang Monk.  Precise and safe.

    Barudis was speechless. He closed his eyes and did not look at the silent warships.  He covered his ears so as not to listen to the sailor's wail.

    Facing this scene, even Maldenard and Esconte were in the distance.  There is a deep tingling feeling in my heart.

    For the sake of profit and power, they chose to break with the navy and the kingdom.

    But they still have Spanish blood flowing in their bodies, and they can't imagine that the kingdom's invincible army has been destroyed in just a few dozen seconds in such a way.

    Both "traitors" took off their hats and bowed their heads in silence.

    The Fang Navy did not fire again, nor did they call for surrender again. Instead, the entire fleet silently sailed towards St. John's at a medium speed.

    There is nothing more to do, the outcome has been decided.

    The Baludis flagship was silent, with no one enthusiastically demanding a fight to the death.  No one planned to escape.

    For them, this is an insult, an irresistible insult, and some even begin to hate themselves, wondering why they are still alive?

    ?Obviously.  The Fang Navy deliberately avoided bombing their own flagship. The accuracy of the opponent's artillery had reached an unimaginable level. If they had wanted to, the flagship would have been silent countless times.

    The flagship of Barus Land is like a child being played by a martial arts master, without any momentum.

    Despair is sometimes more terrifying than death.

    At some point, one of the sailors started sobbing.

    ???????????????? Later.  More and more sailors shed tears, some even wailed and cried, and the sad atmosphere spread like this.

    This is the collapse of the Spanish Navy and the collapse of the Kingdom's colonial empire. They were "fortunate" to stand at the forefront and personally participated in this collapse. Their honor and dignity for many years were destroyed in one fell swoop. They wished they were the ones who died.

    "Stay alive." Baroudis, who had been isolated from the outside world, suddenly spoke. He suddenly roared, "Stay alive!"

    The commander¡¯s shout finally dispersed some of the sad atmosphere.

    Barudis pointed at the Fang family navy not far away and shouted: "He can survive, why can't we?!"

    In the brow of Barudis, the soldiers seemed to see another glimmer of hope.

    No matter how powerful the Fang family navy is now, at least not long ago, that country in the east was still lingering and allowed to be bullied.

    "Failure is not terrible." Baroudis, who has always been tough and decisive, actually said such words. He took off his hat, turned around, and bowed to all the sailors on the ship. "This is my failure. It has nothing to do with you. It's my fault."  A failure in intelligence, strategy and resourcefulness, you have done your best, please stay alive.¡±

    "Commander!"

    ??All the sailors on the ship were excited again.

    Afterwards, Baroudis took off the Medal of Honor from his shoulders, took off his military uniform jacket, laid it on the ground with a certificate, placed his general's cap and common clothes neatly on it, and performed a military salute.

    When others did not react, Baroudis had already stepped onto the bow of the ship and threw himself into the embrace of the sea without any pause.

    After a brief shock, all the sailors on the ship fell silent.

    Almost at the same time, they made exactly the same move as Baroudis.

    About a minute later, only 132 military uniforms and swords were left on the ship.

    Gruhart has been watching the situation of the ship. Faced with this scene, he was deeply moved and performed a military salute from afar.

    Fang Xian also came over and took a look at the binoculars, and then became happy.

    Gruhart said angrily: "Admiral, after all, I was once a soldier, please maintain the minimum respect!"

    "Haha" Fang Xian covered his stomach and laughed, "If I jump into the sea in a place like that, how can I die? Will I fall to death on a rock or drown?"

    "This" Gruhart also slapped his head and laughed awkwardly, "They won't think so much"

    "Don't be stupid." Fang Xian said, "I really want to kill myself by wiping my neck and having a caesarean section, and jumping into the sea next to the port is just a show Welcome to come and your support is my biggest motivation.)
