Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 505: Confidence in victory

Confidence in Chapter 505's decision

"This is the cape Romani and the end of the Titanic Mountains. Our transport fleet already can no longer sail along the coastline because the front is the only reef area on the Gold coastline in the sunny sea. So our transport The fleet had to return to the sea. As long as we passed this Romani cape, we reached the edge of Callisto Hills. After another three days of sailing we reached the port of El Nibba, and returning to Hidegold Bay was only a two or three day voyage.

But the problem now is that Norton Family already gathered a large fleet and set off a battle with us on the sea road at Cape Romani. Obviously their purpose is to intercept our transport fleet and prevent us from transporting supplies, supplies, and reinforcements to Hidegold Bay. After our fleet was hit by Norton Family artillery battleships for the fourth time, the brave Captain Prudence ventured to track these evacuated artillery battleships and brought us this information back.

According to his reconnaissance, Norton Family deployed sixteen huge warships on the sea, which is twice as large as the large ocean-going armed forces merchant ship, but it is not as large as our Sepiphan warship. In addition, there are nearly a hundred large armed forces battleships. There are also more than forty medium-sized armed forces warships cruising in the reef area near the Romanny cape. As for the dozen or so artillery warships that have retreated, they cruise around the sea. "

Penelope Viscount holds a stick and points on the chart on the wall. He is the chief commander of the Trade Union invincible fleet and the leader of the first sub-fleet. He is also a second-tier Great Sword Master. Sitting in the conference room are the high-level commanders of the invincible fleet, the captains of large armed forces battleships, and the captains of various formations.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was very depressing. Penelope Viscount secretly sighed in his heart. When did the commanders of the invincible fleet be so downcast with the enemy's dozen or so warships? Lost in spirit, no more temper. At that time, as long as I heard the enemy fleet's whereabouts, which one here was not scrambling, I volunteered to fight, for fear that I would not have the opportunity to enter the battlefield ...

However, it is no wonder that this is the case. After four enemy attacks, the invincible fleet suffered losses and the two sub-fleets and the Chickadee Chamber of Commerce armed forces fleet added already to lose more than 200 warships, although most were small fast-impact warships and The medium-sized armed forces battleship, but the enemy has only a dozen artillery battleships, and four attacks came unscathed. Each time they came, a gun was fired in the periphery, and the ammunition was gone. The invincible fleet has been in a state of being beaten and unable to counterattack. It can't catch up if you want to chase it, and you can't blame the senior commanders of the fleet who are all helpless and sighed.

Remembering when the two squadrons just joined, who wasn't arrogant and mocking the bad luck of the third squadron and the incompetence of the fourth squadron? The third squadron was neglected, and as a result of a night attack in the port of El Nibba, a torch turned its members into infantry. Although the Fourth Fleet claimed to have won, it was a shame that the seventy-eight to six-to-sixth battle was lost, until when did the invincible fleet achieve such a victory? And after the victory, the remaining battleships can only shrink to the Hidegold Bay and dare not show up ...

Although they are all members of the invincible fleet, the four sub-fleets are still in conflict and competition between existence. The background of the first fleet is Twinhead Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and the second and third fleets belong to Chickadee Chamber of Commerce. As for the fourth fleet, it is a hodgepodge, and anyone can add sand to it.

Basically, the first three squadrons look down on the fighting power of the fourth squadron and consider that the fourth squadron is the biggest shortcoming of the invincible fleet. But now that the Third Squadron has fallen badly, we can't say that we can only laugh at the record of the Fourth Squadron. Now that the Fourth Fleet can sink six battleships of the Norton Family Fleet, then the First and Second Fleet will be launched to deal with the Norton Family Fleet with only a dozen ships.

Although the long-range attack power of the Norton Family fleet described in the battle report submitted by the Fourth Fleet is very powerful, and the performance of the battleship is very good, these views are somewhat impressed, but the top commanders of the First and Second Fleet are still I don't care much, no matter how powerful long-range attack is, no matter how excellent the performance of the warship is, after all, there are only a dozen warships. Depending on the number of advantages, the Norton Family fleet can be piled to death ...

So when we got together, we didn't discuss how to destroy the Norton Family fleet, but how to capture Silowas Islands. Fleet commanders in the southern waters who are used to the warm and sunny sun are not willing to go to the high seas of the northern seas. Everyone is guessing which bad luck will be appointed as the commander of the garrison after Silowas Islands is captured.

Until May 9th, the night before the scheduled departure of the ship, the harbor where nearly a thousand merchant ships had been gathered was attacked by the Norton Family fleet at night. Fortunately, this harbor of Chickadee Chamber of Commerce Territory is a bit small, and more medium-sized freight sea ships full of cargo are arranged outside the harbor, so that those Norton Family warships that fire artillery are blocked, plus small fast-impact warships in charge of patrols. The unit responded in a timely manner and immediately counterattacked the attackers, forcing the enemy's fleet to leave the harbour and avoiding the tragedy of burning the port of El Nibba again.

Although the Norton Family night raid was unsuccessful, the heavy losses they caused to the invincible fleet and the transport fleet finally awakened the minds of the fleet's senior commanders. For the first time, they saw the power of the long-range attack artillery described in the report submitted by the Fourth Fleet. In order to clean up the mess, they had to delay for seven days before the transport fleet set sail, and also changed the original formation and Sailing route, sailing along the coastline to prevent the transport fleet from being attacked and lost again.

But the next three attacks of the Norton Family fleet finally made the North Sea Fleet realize what the gap in warship performance is. Regardless of operational performance, the flexible and fast artillery fleet made the invincible fleet almost helpless. All the traps they arranged were attacked. Ignoring the enemy, the fleet commander of the other side was obviously a sly and cautious guy. He was indifferent to the transport fleet and stared at the armed forces battleships that were defending on the periphery.

The original small fast-impact warships also pose some threats to the enemy. You must know that there are 24 Battle Qi cultivation oarsmen in the Black Iron Rank position on these small fast-impact warships. In a calm and sunny sea, these 24 Oarsmen combined with sails can increase the speed of warships in a short period of time, so that they can hit enemy ships at a faster speed.

But the artillery battleships already of Norton Family found the weakness of small fast-impact warships, because these small fast-impact warships were not equipped with any long-range fire attack weapons. They used the sharp collision angles in front of the ships to break through the enemy's The walls of the ship, slowing down the enemy ship, waited for the support of the subsequent fleet. Therefore, the Norton Family artillery warship allowed the small fleet of fast-impacting warships of the invincible fleet to approach one hundred meters, then lowered the muzzle, shoved the shotgun, and the "bang" sound was basically one shot and one ship ...

The artillery battleship that hit the harbour that night still used iron pellets to deal with small fast-impact battleships. Ten guns can count three or four guns already as artillery. But in the second attack, shotguns were used to deal with the small and fast fast-impact warships. The same was true of the third attack, and by the time of the fourth attack, all the small fast-impact ships of the Invincible Fleet refused to fight. Because it wasn't called fighting, it was targeted, and more than 30 people in one shot and one ship were almost spared. There is no such way to send death.

You must know that all the small fast-impacting ships and sailors are the bravest sailors in the fleet, and even they have lost their minds to fight. It is conceivable how low the morale of the entire invincible fleet is now. The warships sent to the outermost perimeter defensive circle are equivalent to waiting for shelling. The crew prepares not for battle, but first finds a life-saving thing for the ship to sink after the sinking. ...

Penelope Viscount waited for a long time before anyone stood up to express his opinion, watching the fleet officials with their heads bowed down in the conference room, could not help but be furious, and shot the palm on the front table fiercely. Angrily growled, "Isn't it dead? Are you scared by the enemy's gunfire? Aren't they all very bullish? Why are all of them dumb now? The enemy already is in front of him and ready to fight us to death , But you have shrunk like a quail one by one! Should you just surrender the white flag to the enemy, anyway, you are not like the warriors of the invincible fleet! "

The anger of Penelope Viscount finally aroused the self-esteem and shame of the fleet officials. Flushing fleet officials stood up and expressed their determination: "Lord(s), since Norton Family is going to be a decisive battle, we will give him a decisive battle, the invincible fleet. Definitely victory! "

"Lord(s), please allow me to be a vanguard battleship, I will rush to the front ..."

"Lord(s), even if I will fight to death, I will pull the enemy all together ..."

"Lord(s), please believe us, we will not shame the century-old reputation of the invincible fleet. We can defeat the enemy and we will certainly defeat the enemy!"

"Pap, pap, pap." A clear clap rang out: "I believe in your courage, and I believe that the invincible fleet will not fail. In fact, I think the artillery battleships of Norton Family are not so terrible. , They are not invincible. "

The fleet commanders in the conference room turned around to see who was so unspoken. After all, no one can find a way to deal with those slippery artillery battleships.

I saw a handsome, calm and smiling young man who came to Penelope Viscount. The commanders of the fleet all know this young man. He is the commander of Chickadee Chamber of Commerce's Great Young Lord, Surrey, Chickadee Chamber of Commerce armed forces fleet.

"Seriham Young Lord, is there any basis for this?" a fleet commander asked loudly.

Seriham Young Lord smiled gently and nodded: "Of course, everyone will know soon. If it were not for the night raid on the port, the Norton Family artillery fleet attacked us three times, Our fleet lost a total of 243 warships, of which 129 were small fast-impact warships, 86 medium-sized armed forces warships, 13 medium-sized cargo sea vessels, and 15 large armed forces Battleship.

There is a key here that everyone notices. The loss of large armed forces warships is much smaller than that of small and medium warships. On the one hand, the fleet arranged small and medium warships to expel the enemy and suffered heavy losses, but on the other hand, it showed that the large armed forces warships had a great advantage in resisting the enemy's shelling. I found that a large armed forces battleship can still sail as usual after being hit by the enemy several times, but small and medium battleships will be sunk and destroyed.

I do n’t know if you found that when we were attacked for the first time, we lost seven large armed forces battleships, but two of them were burned and only five were sunk. When we were attacked for the second time, we launched more large armed forces warships, but only five were able to sink, and they were basically sunk by the enemy's set fire. In the third attack, we only sank three large armed forces battleships.

Gentlemen, do you still remember the Flying Wing of our Chamber of Commerce armed forces fleet? When it was the third attack, it was a large armed forces battleship defended by the outer periphery. It has been floating after being attacked by the enemy for more than ten rounds of artillery. On the sea, almost all the walls of the ship were smashed. Did n’t you call it an unsinkable miracle after the war?

This is actually a mystery. After the second attack, we discovered such a thing when we inspected the shelled warships. Because our battleship was also responsible for the task of transporting grain and grass, when repairing a bombarded hole, we found that an iron shot fired by an artillery had fallen into a pile of flour bags after breaking through the ship's wall. With the exception of baking a circle of flour around, the iron pellet only played a hole in the ship's wall and played no other role.

So we did a test. We put a large bag of flour walls on all the inner bulkheads of the Flying Wing and the bottom of the bilge, and managed to fix it. I just wanted to see this bag. Does the bag of flour have a cushioning effect on the iron pellets fired by the artillery. As a result, everyone saw that the Flying Wing was not sunk. After the war, we collected nearly forty iron pellets in the cabin ... "

Cheers erupted throughout the conference room. If Surreyham Young Lord didn't say panic, then everyone must at least face the Norton Family artillery fleet no longer panic. The Norton Family's artillery fleet must get closer to sink its own warships, so that the invincible fleet will have a chance to take advantage of it. Perhaps it can also use ballista and stone throwers to fight back. It ca n’t be beaten by the attack Everyone is fed up with the days that can't catch up.

Looking at the lively atmosphere in the conference room, Penelope Viscount smiled with relief. First of all, I thanked Terryham Young Lord for a few words, then let everyone quiet down.

"I think Norton Family definitely did not expect that we found a way to deal with artillery. Of course, this must be thanks to Surrey Ham Young Lord ..." Penelope Viscount applauded first, and soon the applause became one.

Seriham Young Lord bowed to everyone, saying that he had only fulfilled his due responsibilities and everyone's love was ashamed.

"Now Norton Family has set off a decisive battle in front of us, what should we do?" Penelope Viscount asked loudly.

"Kill them! Invincible fleet Wansheng!" The meeting room was full of momentum.

Penelope Viscount nodded with satisfaction, and struck the chart hanging on the bulkhead with a stick in his hand: "They set off a decisive battle at the cape Romani, maybe they I think that the long-range attack by artillery can intercept our transport fleet, and even think about destroying our invincible fleet. This is actually just a dream!

Our two sub-fleets also have four Sempnum ships, and there are more than a hundred large armed forces battleships, more than a hundred small and medium-sized battleships, and a total of more than 300 battleships, and With more than a hundred armed forces warships of Chickadee Chamber of Commerce, the light warships and the strength are several times more than the Norton Family fleet. Do they think they can beat us with just one artillery?

We will tell them what is delusion. We will run over them like weeds in front of the wheels. Surreyham Young Lord already provides us with a way to resist shelling. We will use it to decorate our battleships, brave the enemy ’s artillery fire, move forward, rush to the middle of the enemy ’s fleet and lean in, and wait for our maritime stormtroopers to board their ships. I believe victory is like maturity Fruit will soon fall into our hands! "
