"The enemy ship has appeared?" Ma Yao was stunned when he heard this: "Could it be that we have already reached the enemy's right flank?"

"No...... No, General!" The observer's voice was already a little trembling, "You better see for yourself......"

Ma Yao shook his head inexplicably, stretched his figure, and in a few clicks, he jumped onto the lookout and looked towards the front of his fleet, and after a blink of an eye, the expression on Ma Yao's face became the same shock as the observer!

"This ...... What's going on?" Ma Yao's eyes, which were not big, were rounded by his staring! His face also darkened, and his hands holding the railing of the observatory turned a little pale because he was too hard...... All kinds of signs are clearly showing the horror in Ma Yao's heart at this time!

In fact, it was no wonder that Ma Yao was so panicked, because what appeared in front of him and his fleet was the fleet of the Sea Clan?

"Impossible! Impossible!" Ma Yao slapped the railing angrily and shouted loudly: "What kind of fleet is the opposite force? Judging from the scale, it is enough to be divided into two first-class fleets, right? Doesn't it mean that the Sea Clan fleet escorting Prince Jingyun is just an ordinary fleet? Then where did these so many warships come from?......

The herald and observer standing next to Ma Yao looked at each other helplessly, and secretly scolded in their hearts: "General Ma, are you asking the two of us this question?...... You, the general in charge, don't know where the fleet in front of you came from, so how can we, who are small soldiers, know?...... Looks like this pony general was scared a lot......"

After a while, the observer stepped forward lightly and asked Ma Yao, "Dare to ask...... General Ma, we are now trapped in iron chains, we can't move forward, and there are a large number of warships of unknown origin in front of us, so how should we deal with it?"

"How to deal with ?......?" Ma Yao finally came back to his senses after being reminded by this observer, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and screamed sharply: "Do you still need me to give orders to this meow? Withdraw! Hurry up and give Lao Tzu the fastest speed to retreat! The size of the fleet in front is not something that our fleets responsible for outflanking can contend with! If you go further, aren't you looking for your own death?"

After listening to Ma Yao's words, the observer hurriedly gave the herald a look, and the herald understood, quickly waved the order flag in his hand, and ordered the whole army to abandon the outflanking task and retreat the same way!

However, before their side completely turned the bow of the ship, the mysterious fleet in front of them had already discovered their whereabouts! The reaction of this fleet was obviously much faster than that of Ma Yao's side, and their bow was originally aimed at the direction of Ma Yao and them, so not long after Ma Yao's fleet was about to escape, this mysterious fleet rushed towards them at an even faster speed!

Not only that, but this fleet did not hesitate to carry out an all-round and covering artillery attack on Ma Yao's fleet! This made Ma Yao complain bitterly......

You must know that the general feature of the warships on the Lingtian Continent is that they are equipped with guns in the front and rear sections of the hull, and a standard battleship is equipped with four guns in front and two guns in the rear, of course, each gun can be rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, that is, if you want to attack the enemy on the side, you must rotate the muzzle of the gun at least ninety degrees!

On the earth, the warships have been automated, and it only takes a joystick or a button to turn the turret, but in the Lingtian Continent, where science and technology are relatively backward, the task of rotating the turret must be completed by manpower, and the time required is relatively much longer!

Before, Ma Yao saw that the enemy was so powerful that he could not match it, and in a panic, he was bent on escaping as quickly as possible, who would have expected that the enemy's reaction speed would be so much faster than theirs? When the battleship of the other family rushed up, Ma Yao's fleet was in the embarrassing situation of turning around and turning halfway!

In other words, the muzzle of the enemy ship was exactly facing the side of Ma Yao's fleet, while the gun port of Ma Yao's fleet was completely facing the other direction, exposing the defenseless side of his fleet to the enemy!

Ma Yao, who realized this, was too late to make remedial measures, the number of the enemy's fleet was more than three times the number on their side, and they launched an all-out artillery attack when they had no power to fight back, and after a roar, ......the fifty warships of Ma Yao's fleet were directly sunk by others, nearly half of them!

"I'm the next Olympics!" Seeing this scene, Ma Yao's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but burst out directly: "You are all fools who meow? Don't you know how to quickly turn the muzzle of his meow to shoot back? Just wait for the shells to hit others? Waiting for people to sink our warships one by one? It's really a group of idiots who are meowing! Idiots!"

The herald and observer standing beside Ma Yao glanced at each other again, and secretly said with disgust in their hearts: "Who are you meowing for? You are the supreme commander of the outflanking fleet on the left flank, okay? As soon as you saw the large number of enemy ships, you were frightened and forgot the steps of an orderly retreat, and now you want to put the blame on others when you are beaten? You don't need to talk about others, in our opinion, you are a idiot! A coward!"

Although the two of them scolded Ma Yao in their hearts, they didn't dare to really say these words directly, the observer tried to comfort Ma Yao's very excited emotions, and the herald waved the command flag in his hand, ordering the ships to turn their guns and fire back at the enemy.

One after another, the cannonballs, dragging their long tail flames in the dark night sky, pierced the sky and fell into the formation of the enemy fleet.

Not only was Ma Yao's left flank army blocked by a mysterious fleet several times his size, but even the right flank army was also attacked by a considerable number of enemies! In this way, the outflanking tactics that were originally in General Ma's cognition were completely empty, and even the left and right fleets sent out by him were all likely to be eaten by the enemy!

"How can this be?" General Ma, who was on top of the flagship and beside Prince Tang Feng, looked frightened and puzzled, looking at the artillery fire that kept flashing at the left and right ends in front of him, and cold sweat was already breaking out on his head: "Isn't the dominant side supposed to be on our side? Why? Why is it that it will be us who will be defeated? Where did Prince Jingyun and Cao Hong get so many warships? Could it really be that there are other forces involved in our war?"

Prince Tang Feng frowned, and said with a hint of impatience on his face: "Judging from the artillery fire on both sides, the number of enemies is really far more than the ...... on our side" Speaking of this, Tang Feng couldn't help but pause, tried to calm down and think about it carefully, before continuing: "General Ma, you said, the matter of my imperial brother returning to the Tongtian Empire itself, could it be a bureau set up by them?" Its real purpose is to lure us here, so that we can concentrate superior forces and wipe us out in one fell swoop?...... The reason why my imperial brother fled to the Tongtian Empire without hesitation after being pursued by us is to wait for their reinforcements to appear?......"

General Ma was shocked and replied with great difficulty: "Indeed, as His Royal Highness the Prince said, in terms of the current situation, this possibility is still quite high...... We've really fallen for the prince and Cao Hong!"

Prince Tang Feng gritted his teeth and said, "The key is, where did my imperial brother find so many warships to aid them?...... I'm afraid that even if all the warships that the entire Sea Clan can fight are moved here, there won't be such a fierce artillery fire?......"

General Ma was heartbroken, and said firmly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the current situation is extremely unfavorable for us! Where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got the reinforcements is no longer the most important problem...... It seems that the fleet responsible for outflanking on the left and right flanks doesn't want to escape back, even if our large army wants to give up chasing the prince, it is impossible to return to the Sunset Kingdom, the situation is reversed, if the prince chases us when we escape, each of us don't want to run away safely!"

"Then what do you say?" Prince Tang Feng asked with a sideways look.

General Ma raised his hand and pointed in front of them, and said in a cold voice: "For the sake of today's plan, we can only make a desperate bet!" The whole army rushed forward to block our large fleet of troops...... I estimate that the crown prince and Cao Hong must be there, there is no doubt! As long as we capture His Royal Highness the crown prince before the fleets on both sides rush back to help them, then it will be our side that wins in the end!"

"Okay!" Prince Tang Feng slapped his thigh: "Just do what General Ma said!" My imperial brother must have thought that when we saw that their reinforcements had arrived, they would be so frightened that they would turn around and run away, and they also happened to chase from behind to pick up the cheap, and they definitely wouldn't have expected that I would break the cauldron and fight with him to the end!"

Seeing that Prince Tang Feng had no objections, General Ma gave the order to raid the whole army and arrest the prince......

At this moment, Prince Tang Yun was standing on the bow of the flagship with Cao Hong and Long Nu, and just an hour ago, their fleet finally succeeded in joining the fleet that had come to support them from Wanghai City!

Now this plan to escort Prince Jingyun back to the Tongtian Empire was actually planned by Cao Ke a long time ago! He sent Karnaca back to Wanghai City incognito, and told Old Man Cao to mobilize the fleet of Wanghai City and drive towards this place now, in order to meet Prince Jingyun's fleet, and then annihilate Prince Tang Feng and the fleet of the Sunset Kingdom who were pursuing Prince Jingyun in one fell swoop......
