Chapter 273: Naval Battle I
readx;
The dragon girl endured the discomfort of the bloody scene on the ship, came to Patriarch Leng's side, looked at Patriarch Leng's pitiful appearance that was completely controlled by the white guard, and said with some resentment: "Uncle Leng, no matter what, you are an elder who has watched me grow up since childhood, you can also be called a pivotal figure in the Sea Clan, and after my father's term of office as the Great Chief expires, you even have a great hope that you can become the Great Chief of the Shanghai Clan through formal means...... Why do you want to be a spy for the Sunset Kingdom?"
Patriarch Leng smiled hehehe, and said in a dark voice: "What do you know about this little girl?......
After saying this, Patriarch Leng's face darkened, and he said with some sadness: "Do you really think that our Sea Clan has your Long Family, and other people will have hope to snatch the position of the Great Chief from your hands?......
"Yes, the Great Chief of the Sea Clan is nominally the chief of each race within the Sea Clan in turn, but this regulation is also implemented depending on the specific situation...... I don't know if your Long family has green smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb, not only are the eight elder brothers of your generation all cultivation masters and good generals, but in the end, there is such a sea lady as you......"
"Eighty percent of the future pillars of the Sea Clan are concentrated in your Long family, do you think that other races, other families, is it still possible, or that there is still the guts to compete with your Long family for the position of the Great Chief?"
"So I'm not convinced! Compared with your father, that is, the current big chief, I don't fall behind in any aspect, why can't I be this big chief? Just because he is better than me, he can give birth better than me? I am not reconciled!"
"Since it is difficult for me to obtain the position of the Great Chief through the regular route, then I must come up with another way! In this regard, Prince Tang Feng and the Sunset Kingdom are willing to help me! They even promised me that when I become the Great Chief of the Sea Clan, they will give me an aid of quite astonishing quantity and quality! With this assistance, our Sea Clan can save more than ten or twenty years of struggle, and it is even possible to become a sea power!"
"As long as I become the Great Chief, the Sea Clan will definitely become stronger! The people of the Sea Clan will also live a more prosperous life! This is better than now, under your father's leadership, our Sea Clan is bullied, right?"
After listening to Patriarch Leng's words, the dragon girl shook her head slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Uncle Leng, you have been blinded by power, and you can't see the essence of things at all...... Yes, maybe it's really as you said, you became the great chief of the Sea Clan by being the traitor of the Sunset Kingdom and Prince Tang Feng, and you will indeed receive a lot of assistance from the Tongtian Empire and the Sunset Kingdom, thus helping our Sea Clan develop rapidly, but you have ignored another more important issue, which is freedom!"
"Do you think the benefits and status you have gained by groveling, by wagging your tail and begging for mercy, by betraying your fellow clan, will you still be like you have obtained through formal means? Of course not! No! In the eyes of Prince Tang Feng and the Sunset Kingdom, you and the Sea Clan you lead are just one of their dogs, a dog that can be driven at will!"
"At that time, the people of the Sea Clan will only be looked down upon even more! They will lose their dignity and freedom! You will have to do whatever they tell you to do...... Rather than this, I would rather not have their assistance, and only rely on our own hands to create a tomorrow that belongs to our sea tribe! This is a principle and a belief! In the same way, it is a sense of national pride!"
When the dragon girl said this, she couldn't help but pause, smiled softly, and continued: "Maybe Uncle Leng will think that what I said is a bit empty, a little high-profile, and a little unrealistic...... But I want to say that if you live a breath of life, instead of taking the path you want to get rich, I would prefer to maintain the status quo and be self-reliant! I believe that as long as we are united, our sea clan will definitely gradually become stronger! There is no need to be a dog of any person or any force!"
"What a sharp-toothed little girl!" After listening to the words of the dragon girl, Changsun Ling sighed: "Now, no matter what, you will occupy a rational word, because you have won and I have failed...... But, Ama, don't forget, the war is not over yet, and the enemy's three fleets are still chasing after you! I'm very interested in seeing, when you fall into the hands of Prince Tang Feng and the Sunset Kingdom, who are you going to tell these great truths?"
The dragon girl finally glanced at Patriarch Leng with some contempt, then looked back at the three enemy fleets behind her, and said, "Uncle Leng, are you still superstitious about Prince Tang Feng and the military power of the Sunset Kingdom?......? Then I really don't have anything more to say to you......"
After speaking, the dragon girl waved her hand, and Cao Hong on the side commanded sharply: "Take this surnamed Leng down, take a good look!
"Yes!" Bai Jiawei ordered, and carried the Leng Patriarch, who had completely lost his ability to resist, into the cabin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Prince Jingyun raised his head and said, "Next, it's time for us to 'treat' my imperial brother and them......
The dragon girl nodded, her eyes flashed, and said, "They thought that their forces had the absolute upper hand, but they never imagined that we were the strong side in this battle......
As soon as the dragon girl's voice fell, she heard the soldiers on the lookout shouting loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Haen, the other ships have sent a signal that our fleet has suffered heavy losses under the enemy's artillery fire, and three battleships have been sunk, they asked, can we find a desert island first, land and defend it, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements before launching a general attack on the enemy?"
Hearing this, Prince Jingyun set his eyes on the dragon girl: "Dragon girl, now you are the commander here, you say, what should we do?"
The dragon girl frowned and thought for a while, and said: "I really don't understand the knowledge of marching and fighting, but just before we left, Cao Ke repeatedly told us that no matter what kind of attack we encounter, no matter what kind of obstacles we encounter, we must quickly drive in the direction of the Tongtian Empire after breaking through the blockade of the Sunset Kingdom, because there, there will be our reinforcements waiting for us......"
"That's true!" Cao Hong took over the conversation: "I think that since my third brother has said so, then he will definitely have his arrangement!
Prince Jingyun nodded and said, "Regarding Cao Ke's arrangement, Gu has no objection...... It's just that the fleet responsible for protecting us is suffering, and we can only flee while fighting back at the enemy, and we can't fight a bloody naval battle......"
The dragon girl thought about it for a while, and said to Cao Hong: "Since we have all agreed to do what Cao Ke has arranged, then please take over my command, eldest brother! After all, compared to me, an outsider, you are the expert in military command! If you command the actions of our entire fleet, it must be much more than the current one, which can only be passively attacked!"
Cao Hong nodded and responded: "Now that the situation is urgent, I won't pretend to be pretentious...... I'll take over this command!"
As soon as the words fell, Cao Hong jumped to the top of the lookout platform on tiptoe and directly ordered the soldier standing beside him who was in a daze: "Give the order, the frigates on the left and right sides should lower their ships as quickly as possible! Detour back to the sides of the enemy fleet! I will exchange the enemy for the greatest loss at the smallest price!"
After listening to Cao Hong's instructions, the soldier looked at the low dragon girl with inquiring eyes, and the dragon girl nodded firmly, and the soldier no longer hesitated, and hurriedly waved the small flag in his hand to convey Cao Hong's order!
After receiving the order of the flagship, the frigates on the outermost side of the formation of the Sea Clan fleet began to quickly put the frigates hanging on their ships into the sea, and at the same time, in each ship, there were four sailors with relatively strong strength, and the most important task of these sailors was to row quickly, so that these ships could maintain a relatively fast speed!
This is actually the most basic collocation of the stern boat, a stern boat is only less than eight meters in length, and the maximum number of people can only sit on it, don't look at the number of people, because the stern is very small in size and light in weight, so it is still very easy and fast to control, as long as the four sailors on the boat still have physical strength, the speed of the stern boat is the fastest one of all ships!
Coupled with the unique shape of the shipwive, with two long tapered spikes in front of the bow and a baffle on the hull to protect the sailors, the ship is generally used by the army to charge in water battles!
It is precisely because of the particularity of the shipwives that the fleet of the Sea Clan will assemble all the ships without the slightest hesitation after Cao Hong gave the order.
Cao Hong, who was standing on the flagship lookout, nodded when he saw this scene, and continued to say to the soldier beside him: "Order all the ships to outflank the enemy's flanks as quickly as possible, and strive to break out a breakthrough in the middle of the enemy's fleet and disrupt the enemy's fleet formation!"
The herald received the order, waved the small flag in his hand, and each ship saw the flag, and broke away from the large army together, and rushed towards Prince Tang Feng and the fleet of the Sunset Kingdom from the left and right directions!
Seeing that the warships had begun to move, Cao Hong hurriedly said: "Quick, order the tail guns of all the warships to fire at the front of the enemy fleet together! Don't shoot at the enemy ships, just shoot the shells in front of them! I will use the water column stirred up by the cannonballs to cover the charge of our ships!"
