    What Zorn heard was that he was just making tactical adjustments to distance himself. But when it came to these people's mouths, it changed the meaning. The meaning was quite clear, and he decided that he was not fighting, but  Escaped.  In fact, the fleet has indeed traveled twenty or thirty miles now, but it has not widened the distance and cannot find a chance to counterattack.  "I can understand your feelings. We can't keep the distance now. If we stop and fire, it will be three rounds of cannons that reach the sky. The Ming army will be able to catch up. At that time, they can only let the opponent's crossbows be used.  It might have been a physical fight." Zorn said with some emotion. Couldn't a group of laymen not understand this?  "Commander Zorn, artillery is temporarily ineffective against the cement ships of the Ming Dynasty, but it is quite effective against the people or weapons on the deck. Moreover, at this time, are you still afraid of jumping into gang war? Our coalition has hundreds of them.  The number of ships far exceeds that of the Ming Dynasty, and they are musketeers, so they have many advantages over the Ming Dynasty¡¯s bows and arrows. Why should they be afraid of melee combat? " Luo Bao, a soldier, finally found an opportunity to vent his anger. This is his usual habit of belittling others and promoting himself.  Method, it is now obvious that most people can't stand Zorn's command. It's no wonder that he failed in several battles with the Ming Kingdom.  "Afraid? I, the Netherlands, travel across the seven seas. Who have I ever been afraid of? Luo Baobingtou, this is a war, not a vendetta that involves strong fighting. Now there is something strange on the side of the Ming army. It is clear that they want to rely on the solid advantage of the cement ship.  , approach our fleet and use the power of its crossbows. Anyone with a little war-mindedness can see this. Isn't your proposal just in line with the Ming Dynasty's plan? If the fleet makes a mistake, it will be discovered.  If the enemy invades, they will be defeated. Can you bear this responsibility? "Zorn secretly hated him, is this Luo Bao a pig?  How many good foreigners from the Ming Dynasty did you get?  Those idiot priests don¡¯t understand naval warfare. You have also served as captain and fleet commander. Can¡¯t you see this?  "It's a joke. Now the Ming Dynasty is following the coalition troops. According to the commander's words, they have to wait to distance themselves and completely give up resistance. But now two ships have sunk in the sea. And this distance cannot be achieved after all.  How long will it take for our army to launch a counterattack? It¡¯s only three to four hundred miles away! Has Commander Zorn ever thought about abandoning the ship at that time?¡± Luo Bao sneered.  .  Now according to Zorn's battle plan, it was obviously a failure. He had been chased for twenty or thirty miles, and he didn't even have a chance to turn back.  He even taught himself a lesson.  Our side has many soldiers, and its strength greatly exceeds that of the Ming Dynasty. However, when they arrived at Zorn, they had to flee in embarrassment. What a humiliation. A group of civilized people were chased by the natives and did not even dare to look back!  And where does this running method come from?  After Luo Bao read the map, further east was the Liaodong Peninsula. The boat speed was about thirty or forty, and it would not take long to reach the land. Unless he changed direction and played hide and seek in the sea, this person would be really embarrassed.  .  "You two should calm down your anger for the time being. On this occasion of the war, there must be no disputes." Jinni Pavilion is really afraid that the two of them will compete with each other. This kind of instability is not a good thing.  "Commander Zorn and Commander Luo Bao have been fighting overseas for many years and are authorities on naval warfare. We are indeed laymen. What the two of them said is reasonable. The reason for the disagreement is that the cement ships in the Ming Dynasty were too strong and the ships were too fast.  We are on equal footing with us, and we are trying our best to get closer to our ship. But in this situation, it may be difficult to distance ourselves. Please be careful." Jin Nige and others also heard and saw something.  Doorway, the coalition forces that originally wanted to distance themselves not only failed to achieve this strategic goal, but because of the change of direction, they were chased by the Ming army and engaged in artillery shelling.  If they change the formation or stop to fight, they will inevitably be taken advantage of by the Ming Dynasty and fall into a melee. Obviously this is not what Zorn wants to see. Since the Ming Dynasty is personally conquering the army, both sides can't wait to think about the close combat and must have some persistence.  But there is no way to avoid it if this continues. Luo Bao's proposal begins to be correct again. If the direction is not changed, there will be land four hundred miles away. Where will he run at that time?  Jin Nige and others have a certain understanding of the naval battles of the Ming Dynasty. According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang fought at Poyang Lake when he fought Chen Youliang, which was a boarding battle and a collision battle.  At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang used firearms first and then bows and arrows.  Then in the Qi Jiguang era, the naval fleet was organized according to the camp and sentinel system.  Such fleet tactics are to gain the upper hand first, then line up in columns and shoot in sequence.  Within a hundred steps, use the "France" cannon, within eighty steps, use bird cannons, within sixty steps, use rockets to shoot the sails, and then forty steps, twenty steps, until you get to the side.  But for Zorn and the others, these tactics have long been outmoded. It is now an era where firepower determines the outcome of naval battles.  Whoever's ship has more cannons will be the winner in the naval battle.  But the Ming Dynasty is so weird. With a cement ship that no one can understand, it insists on forcing it to come closer, and it is clear that it wants to engage in ramming and boarding battles. This really makes everyone stunned.?Stupid.  "What Father Jinnige said, I also understand. This kind of 'defeat' is so embarrassing and really discouraging. Now the sea is vast, and the only way to retreat is to be chased by the Ming Dynasty. The only option is  One side can hold off the enemy for a while, and after getting far away, they can start to line up and retreat while bombarding, then they can fight. "Zorn sighed and said, but this is the coalition, who will stay to hold off the enemy for a while?  As soon as this proposal came out, the flagship immediately became quiet. This proposal was a good one, but obviously, it was inevitable that whoever stayed would be in danger.  "Commander Zorn, don't give up on this revelation. Since the Ming army has made it clear that the chariots and horses are for close combat, whoever stays behind will inevitably face a crisis. This means being abandoned by the coalition forces. How heartbreaking is this? At this moment  You can abandon ship A, and you can abandon ship B the next moment. This combined fleet will collapse immediately!" "There are three coalition forces in total, and the British are all mercenaries. They are here for money, not to be taken advantage of.  If they are asked to stay to stop the enemy, there is no need to ask about the result. They will definitely refuse to obey the order and turn around and leave immediately.  Furthermore, even if they leave too few ships, they actually need to leave other ships. Which country should they leave?  This question was obviously impossible for him to pass.  "Then what do you mean?" Zorn asked coldly.  It is self-evident to suggest that someone should stay and who the target is. Although Luo Bao is a soldier, he has few ships. Although he is lower than him in status and status, he has many ships. This is the key to this.  The commander in chief of the battle.  Once this proposal is passed, Luo Bao's ship will be kept, the distance from the Ming army will be increased, and the troops will retreat and fight at the same time. At that time, there will no longer be this dilemma.  But obviously, Robo disagreed.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! ps: Thank you Tianchen for the reward, thank you
