Chapter 1817

Count Presley, the new commander of the fleet, blistered on his mouth and looked around in a daze. He was also blind, "Ben, do you think we should continue or escape?"

A dandy aristocrat who only knows how to live and die in such a cruel battlefield is faced with the scene that if he continues to command the fleet forward, he will be killed by the Xiao family's heavy artillery. The risk of death is too high.

But if it's back?

Isn't this equal to the failure of the robbery, or the collapse without war?

So far in this war, the Evans has fired several shots, and the guns on dozens of other merchant ships have basically not fired, but suffered a few shots.

At that time, he will command the fleet except the Evans. Is it his Presley's back or count Evans's back? Is Earl Evans dead or alive? If he's dead, it's OK. If he's still alive and there's more damage when he commands the fleet to escape, how can he report to the ventra bus??

Archduke ventra is an iron blooded Archduke with strict military management methods. Thanks to his iron blooded arrogance, the military style of ventra is still very enterprising, wild and cruel.

They often take the initiative to invade the state of Liu and loot merchant ships such as the state of Lu. Even if sometimes their interests are small, they will be damaged.

When it comes to the overall naval atmosphere, most of them are barbaric and not afraid of death. In a war, even if the situation is unfavorable in the early stage, it may be won by aggressive morale and savage fighting.

Archduke ventra also encouraged and advocated this kind of enterprising spirit and savage morale. If these soldiers can do it, they will often be rewarded and defeated without fighting? That's a heavy penalty.

If he escapes, he will even go back. Let alone whether he violates the martial and enterprising atmosphere in the army, which disgusts Duke.

He was beaten in the face by the Xiao family's caravan again. Once Dagong became angry, he just took it out on him.

His head was in a mess. He asked Ben Marbury with a pale face. He was busy and said, "run away, count, we must be the next target to be set on fire. Whatever else, run back first, not die here."

Presley nodded, "send a flag, run!"

After he shouted this, he found that many sailors on the surrounding deck either looked around and looked dejected, or looked surprised and relaxed... But no one really spread his military order. His Excellency became angry, pulled out his waist knife and chopped at a stunned sailor, "cheap thing, send a flag and run away!"

The sailors who had been stabbed retreated miserably, and a look of daring to be angry but not daring to speak flashed in their eyes. There were also those timid sailors shouting urgently.

The new military order began to spread on the deck.

The flag bearer who received the order was also speechless, and still had to issue evacuation and escape orders to more than 50 merchant ships around.

These orders made more than 50 naval officers and men of the Principality of ventra go up and down, super speechless and messy.

The military atmosphere of the Principality of ventra, which advocates enterprise and savage morale, is here

The last commander's flagship Evans was seriously injured and evacuated. More soldiers on the merchant ship were not frightened. On the contrary, some officers and soldiers kept a fire and wanted to kill forward quickly. They gave more guns to the Xiao family merchant ship, avenged count Evans and corrected their name for the navy of the Principality of ventra.

However, the new commander ordered the evacuation of all personnel, and the order to escape. Most gun ships withdrew without firing a shot? I'm not only unwilling to withdraw. Even if I go back, I will be severely punished by the Archduke as a coward.

Hundreds of meters away, a Viscount general immediately raised a new flag on his 200 ton car, which was another flag to take over the command of the fleet.

The new command flag also quickly passed the flag to the surrounding ships, attack!

More than 50 merchant ships of the Principality of ventra and tens of thousands of navies have been caught blind.

………………

"Puff ha ~"

"Laugh to death, young master. We've only finished half the ship. The pirates are in a mess. Fire!"

"Aim at the new command ship and beat me to death!"

…………

On the flagship of the Xiao family merchant ship, Xiao Jichen saw his opponent's panic through a hundred mile mirror and almost laughed with a stomachache.

Young master Xiao, who had been paying close attention to the war situation, hurried to relax his breath, "young master, the war has been stable. Although the most important credit is the group of skilled Gunners from big merchants, the second idiot of the Principality of ventra who took over the command will also contribute more than half of the credit to us."

After a pause, the follower smiled bitterly, "in fact, if it weren't for that fool who is too greedy for life and afraid of death, we would have to pay a price even if we can win in the end. The military style of the Principality of ventra is still worthy of affirmation."

Nobles of different titles take charge of their own ships. They catch thieves first and catch the king first. Whether it's a sea war or a land war, if the boss is killed or maimed, it will definitely have a great impact on the morale of the enemy.

Look at the preparations in the Principality of ventra? The armed merchant ships of count, viscount and even Baron class are probably equipped with flags symbolizing the command of the fleet.

The count was seriously injured and couldn't carry it. There was another one, and then the Viscount, the Baron

You have to admit that the other party's combat effectiveness is guaranteed. At least for a caravan like the Xiao family, if their young master's ship is seriously injured or sunk, it will be difficult for other merchant ships to maintain their subsequent combat effectiveness.

Xiao Jichen laughed again. "There are merits. Tut Tut, a total of 57 large and small ships. The Evans was seriously injured and withdrew from the battle sequence. The Presley took over and fled, but it took only more than a dozen ships."

"The third guy who stands up can rush up with more than 30 large and small ships? Fire and hit me hard!"

Up to now, the armed merchant ships of the Principality of ventra are more than divided into two, and their morale is chaotic. Even if they still have the courage to attack against the Xiao family merchant ships, the overall firepower of the other party is not enough.

Although there are many small boats with dozens of tons, one with only six guns is still installed on both sides. For hundreds of tons, there may be only five or six guns on one side. A Xiaojia warship can top the sum of seven or eight of the other side, not only in quantity, but also in weight.

With such laughter, the naval battle between the two sides has completely entered a white hot stage. Dozens of warships are three or four hundred meters apart, and hundreds of cannons are fired together, making this sea area full of smoke and flames of war.

However, things are under Xiao Jichen's control. The Xiao family can hit several small and medium-sized ships with a random search of warships. It not only caused heavy damage to those ships, but also caused some deaths in the explosive powder magazine.

The armor thickness of the Xiao family warship can often bounce off even if it is bombed by several enemy guns.
