Chapter 1015: Ma Kecheng's distress

"All the staff are moving forward, I don't believe that they can keep it tight." On the pirate ship, Ma Kecheng's eyes glared angrily, and his eyeballs were already red at this moment, not because of lack of sleep, but because he was anxious and dry.

Ma Kecheng has grown up to the present, and has experienced hundreds of battles, and some of them are no worse than today, so he is still gambling, betting that with the advantage of the number of ships, he can finally achieve victory. However, all of this was disrupted and defeated because of another sudden news.

Just as all the pirate ships continued to move forward according to his orders, especially some scout clippers, although they were not aggressive themselves, they had the advantage of being extremely fast, and once such ships appeared, it was really difficult to be locked by artillery fire, and they became the first batch of pirate ships to rush to the land of three miles.

Finally, a ship entered the land of three miles, which was equivalent to a shot in the arm to other pirate ships, and for a while, other ships were infected by it, and they were also accelerating wildly, which had a great meaning of relying on the sea of people to win. But at this moment, when their hearts were full of hope, behind them, suddenly there was a roar of a large number of artillery fire, and then more ships flying the five-star red flag joined in, and they were the 4th Sea Division that had been ordered to come to the rescue.

In the early days of the war, the 4th Navy Division was ordered to patrol this sea area to prevent someone from taking risks and attacking the coastline of Cambodian Province, which had just been subdued by the Yang family. It was precisely because of the special position of the Fourth Division of the Sea that Yang Chendong gave them such a chance to participate in the war.

At the beginning of receiving the order, Ding Yan, the commander of the Fourth Maritime Division, was naturally excited, and immediately left the Fourth Regiment to continue patrolling, and the other three regiments plus a battalion directly under the division came straight to the designated sea area.

The cooperation of the Second Sea Division bought them time, and finally caught up with this big battle, and finally appeared in the middle of the battle, and then dealt a heavy blow to the unprepared pirate ships in the back.

The sudden appearance of the 4th Division caught the pirate ships by surprise, and when the artillery fire fell again, the pirate ships were horrified to find that it was not the enemy who was surrounded, but themselves. What's even more frightening is that for some reason this five-star military ship appeared here, their artillery fire extended very irregularly, and they found that there was no safe area in this sea area.

It doesn't seem to be the previous Second Sea Division, which first attacked the vanguard ships of the pirate ships, and then attacked the ships that wanted to get within three miles of them. In this way, as long as they do not rush to the front, there is no danger of being hit by artillery, which is why a large number of pirate ships do not panic.

The emergence of the Fourth Division of the Sea broke this rule, and when any area was not safe, some people who were not strong in their will began to waver.

The so-called 60,000 pirates, not all of them are elite, there are only 20,000 people here who are really loyal to Ma Kecheng, and the other two-thirds are just here to make up the numbers, just to find a place to live temporarily.

Such a person naturally has no problem fighting against the wind, but once he encounters serious obstacles, his mentality will collapse at any time. It's like after the Fourth Division of the Sea suddenly appeared and gave a heavy blow, the mentality of many pirates began to collapse, and the direct consequence was that some brave people and people who spared their lives suddenly disappeared from the hordes of pirate ships

It detached and fled straight into the distance.

Some things are contagious, just like on the battlefield, when everyone is rushing to move forward, as one of them, you will consciously or involuntarily follow them forward.

On the other hand, if someone starts to run away, your brain will also be affected, and under the herd mentality, you will even react in the same way, turn around and run away. Even more people don't know why they ran away.

You're just like that, and with the first pirate ship that escaped, there's a second, third, fourth... Until more and more, it affects the psychology of more people, affects more ships.

The army suddenly appeared to flee the ship, and then there was more and more of a trend, this scene looked at Ma Kecheng in the command of the ship, and he had a very bad feeling.

He has seen a lot of such things, but it is usually the enemy who is on the run, and this is the first time that his subordinates have escaped, and he has no experience in dealing with this matter, and now he doesn't even know what to do.

Ferdinand, who was with him, saw that there were ships about to escape, and he said angrily, "Stop, stop them, sink them, and in any case we must not let this situation spread, or we will destroy our army." ”

"Yes, yes, immediately do as the Prime Minister said." Ma Kecheng, who was reminded, also thought of something. He is not afraid that a ship will escape, what he is afraid of is that everyone will follow suit, in that case, he will soon become the commander of the light pole, and that is the real danger.

So, the pirates who had been beaten all the time finally had a chance to fire. It's just that their target is not a five-star military naval division, but their own people.

The sound of cannons and the fall of one ship after another on the fleeing warships was tantamount to a resounding slap in the face to the others, which was equivalent to telling everyone how tragic the fate of escaping was. This way of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys really thought of a certain effect, and for a while, the wind of escape on the battlefield was suppressed.

This chaos gave the Second Sea Division a chance to counterattack. Originally, some of the sea ships were already close to the four miles away, and they could pose a threat to themselves when they were rushing. Next, the sudden arrival of the Fourth Division of the Sea attracted the attention of the other party, and then there were some pirate ships that wanted to escape, which shook the determination of the pirate army to attack.

Under the two mutations, the speed of the pirate ship was slowed down, and the only thing that really rushed over was some pirate scout ships that were closer to themselves without artillery arrangements.

When a ship like this arrives alone, it is impossible to pose any threat to the Second Sea Division, and each five-star army warship needs to send a squad of fighters holding the 95 type to approach and strafe. In the face of the pirates who were still armed with bows and arrows, most of them were killed and wounded in a few shuttles, and they had already been wiped out before they could shine.

Taking advantage of the slow attack of the enemy, the artillery of the 2nd Sea Division began to extend, continuously firing shells forward, and the 4th Sea Division rushed to attack many pirate ships in front and back.

Finally, there was no safe place on the entire battlefield, and when countless pirates watched their companion ships being hit, sunk and falling into the sea, shouting for help, the fear in their hearts rose higher and higher

Waves, the escape finally happened again.

This time, the ships that escaped were much higher than the previous ones, but numbered in the dozens, and even spread to hundreds. When it becomes a general trend, the so-called blocking will no longer play a decisive role. There were even ships that escaped and opened fire on the pirate ships that prevented them from escaping.

This is where the cannibalism begins.

The general trend is like this, and when everything enters Ma Kecheng's eyes, he knows that everything is over.

Seeing that his own warship was sunk every moment, or was hit by the five-star army, or was hit by his own people, his years of hard work were hit hard today, and his face was extremely ugly. At this moment, Ferdinand's voice came from the side, "Brother Ma, it can't go on like this, we have to find a way." ”

"How?" I wasn't so angry when I didn't hear this, but after hearing this, Ma Kecheng said with anger in his eyes: "It's all you?" If it weren't for you, my army wouldn't have been so badly wounded, and you say, how can you compensate me? ”

"Compensation? Didn't I already give you 500,000 taels of silver? Now that you haven't been able to inflict heavy damage on the Five-Star Army, even our king can't do you any good. Ferdinand shook his head and told the truth. At the moment, he had no idea what kind of consequences he would have if he said these words.

"Five hundred thousand? My loss is so great, can I pay for it with 500,000 taels of silver? Tell you, I'm giving me a million taels of silver, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless. His face was full of anger, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.

"A million? No, no, even if you kill me, you won't either. Ferdinand shook his head as he heard Marcocheng's lion open wide.

"Really? Then kill you. Someone, kill this culprit and show it to the public. Ma Kecheng, who was angry, said unceremoniously.

At the sound of the order, two pirates stepped forward and lifted Ferdinand up on the left and right, and carried him out of the cabin. Ma Kecheng didn't even look at it, but said to the standard-bearer beside him in a decisive tone: "Order, retreat, and withdraw the whole line to the Sumatra Sea." ”

This is a strong man with a broken wrist, knowing that he is not the opponent of the five-star army, so he runs away. As the old saying goes, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of running out of firewood.

The scene of artillery fire was still playing out on the sea, and the retreat order was given, and the situation became even more chaotic, and the pirate ships fled frantically in all directions like rats that everyone shouted and beaten, and the so-called defeat was like a mountain.

"Keep bombarding, kill as many as you can?" Seeing that the enemy ships were in chaos, they did not think about attacking, but began to flee, and Zhao Changxiang, the commander of the 2nd Sea Division, decisively gave the order to extend the artillery fire. At that moment, the mortars, which were originally only striking the enemy ships in front of them, began to extend and blasted out one by one six miles away.

I thought that if we were still far away from the five-star military naval division, there would be no danger, but at this moment, I realized that they had not done their best. Seeing the enemy's artillery smashing into the warship beside him one after another, Ma Kecheng's face changed again. Originally, he still wanted to maintain the formation and retreat, but he didn't care much, ignored the others, turned the ship around and fled.
