Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 268 Chapter 268
A chaotic war is a huge challenge for the decision-makers on both sides.Challenge their abilities, challenge their cognition.

Bernard was confused by what happened in front of him. He really didn't know why the other party would make such a strange decision.

He saw with his own eyes that the opponent's sailing warship split into two and drove towards each other in opposite directions.

A few warships with full rudder left left their own fleet, and fled towards the distance without looking back.And most of the enemy ships, at this time, are turning the rudder to the right, and seem to want to seize the position and lie on his advancing route.

After a brief daze, Bernard suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know how to deal with the situation in front of him. He didn't know what was going on in the mind of the opposing commander.

Obviously, most of the battleships are carrying out the order to fight his fleet decisively, otherwise they would not be on their own course.

However, there are still a few warships who have carried out the opposite order and are about to leave the entire battlefield, which is obviously unreasonable.

He didn't know what the other party was doing, so he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

There is no way, in the exercise on my side, there is no such thing as the other party fleeing in a timid battle. The commanders of both sides will try their best to turn defeat into victory, and even if they fight to the last person, they will not easily admit defeat.

Therefore, in Bernard's mind, he subconsciously ignored the chaos and defeat of the other party, because he had almost never touched this field.

In the Datang Military Academy, the students would not take the initiative to consider the option of retreating. After all, they were far ahead of this era in terms of equipment training and tactical thinking.

"The division of troops...what's going on." Finally, he decided to ask the adjutant beside him to see what he thought.

The adjutant was also a little unsure about the current situation. According to him, in this chaotic situation, the enemy still took the initiative to divide the troops into two groups, which was almost asking for their own death.

"I don't know, Commander... But, I think we should allocate a battleship and follow those battleships!" After thinking for a while, the adjutant still said.

"Huh?" Bernard looked at the adjutant, waiting for the adjutant's explanation.

After considering the language for a while, the adjutant continued to explain: "The other party has come from a long distance, there must be supply transport ships, these ships should be nearby, maybe... there will be discoveries."

Bernard thought for a while, then nodded and agreed with the adjutant's statement: "I agree with you, let the Burners 6 following at the rear keep up with the battleship on the left!"

"Understood!" The adjutant immediately went to issue an order.

Ever since, in General Warren's telescope, the Datang Group's fleet also dispersed.A warship rushed towards the fleeing sail warships with thick smoke, while the rest of the warships rushed straight towards him.

Then, these warships turned neatly and began to show their sides.And the turret on the battleship was always pointing in the direction of his battleship.

Soon, really quickly - the warships of the Datang Group adjusted their shooting angles, and then used their naval guns to continue bombarding the sailing ships of the Tarun Kingdom, which was running out.

This is really a desperate massacre. Every sailing warship hit by a 150mm naval gun will end up very sad.

It was completely one-sided massacre, one party was attacking and the other was passively beaten.At a distance of about 1000 meters, the sailors on the warships of the Kingdom of Tarun, who had no power to fight back, could only watch the friendly warships in the distance being sunk and watch their comrades die.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, another battleship was hit by a shell. The naval gun with an optical sight was at a distance of 1000 meters. The hit rate was really high to make the enemy desperate.

The warship that was hit in the tail lost most of its stern, and without the rudder, they had no choice but to slow down and leave the fleet.

But this is definitely good news for them, because they may not sink immediately, and they don't have to continue to face the desperate artillery fire.

Immediately afterwards, another battleship was also hit by a 150mm shell, and it was directly blown into parts.

Those who have not faced the artillery fire directly will not know the true power of the artillery. It can be called the god of war, and that is definitely not touted.

Even in the 21st century, various countries have not completely replaced artillery, and even have a great intention to carry it forward.

And the destructive ability of shells is much greater than anyone imagined.The 37mm caliber secondary gun on the battleship, hitting the steel hull, can make a hole the size of a washbasin!
What's more, are you bombarding some wooden boards with 150mm artillery now?Look at those reinforced concrete buildings that were blown up by 150mm caliber howitzers. Those buildings are ten times stronger than wooden ship hulls...

This cannon was really devastating, and even the mast fell down, and none survived.A huge hole appeared in the hull of a battleship, and everything near the hole was destroyed.

Without even taking a look at the completely scrapped warship, the Datang Group's warship hurried past and rushed to the next target.

Seeing that the number of warships of the Tarun Kingdom is getting smaller and smaller, the two sides are crazily firing on their respective battle lines, but this time the warships of the Tarun Kingdom no longer care about accuracy and orders, and they are acting indiscriminately. The cannon was fired.

The distance between the two sides was kept between 1000 meters and 800 meters. The Tarun Kingdom's fleet wanted to shorten this distance, but found that the attempt would not work at all.

So at an extreme distance where it was almost impossible to hit the target, the warships of the Kingdom of Tarun fired like crazy, as if they were venting their anger.

As a result, only a few shells hit the battleship of the Datang Group, and these shells were basically unable to damage the steel hull of the battleship.

Conversely, the quality of bombardment by Datang Group's warships was astonishingly high. Every time they fired, it could almost damage a warship of the Tarun Kingdom.

In the end, I don't know if it was because they couldn't bear the pressure in their hearts, and they fell into a complete collapse. Among the warships of the Tarun Kingdom, several warships fled and turned to the port side desperately.

This run made the few battleships left in the entire fleet even more chaotic.

General Warren has discovered in despair that he can no longer command the fleet to fight, because there are no warships to listen to his command.

Today, there are only less than 20 warships left. Seeing that the life-sustaining sea fleet of the Tarun Kingdom is about to be wiped out.

Even if a few warships fled back sporadically, it would not change the ending. Tarun Kingdom is over!It's all over!

The dream of fighting for hegemony over the ocean, and the benefits of annexing Refeng Harbor have all become fleeting clouds and nothing more than illusory.

When he saw with his own eyes that his fleet was disintegrated, and many captains who were usually brave and good at fighting, led their warships to run away in a panic, he knew that he had lost, lost completely.

Not only did he lose his future, he lost everything about himself, he also lost the national destiny of the entire Tarun Kingdom.

That's more than 60 warships!A first-class sailing warship!These battleships are all Tarun Kingdom one by one, the accumulated heritage!

The century-old navy is not just about the cultivation of naval technical personnel, nor is it just about the establishment of a country's sea power. In fact, it is also about the accumulation of warships themselves...

The construction of a wooden sailing warship is not as simple as imagined. The wood that these warships need to use must be grown for decades, dried in the sun for several years, soaked in tung oil, and finally used.

Therefore, it is simply impossible to replenish dozens of large warships at once.Just like the Poplar Kingdom, after losing more than [-] warships, it basically lost its maritime hegemony.

This time, the Tarun Kingdom lost more warships, and the problems they faced were even more serious—after all, they were not like the Poplar Kingdom. They also had a vast land inland. They were an island country.

The loss of command of the sea by an island country is much more terrifying than the loss of command of the sea by a land country.For comparison, if Germany loses its sea power, it is tantamount to cutting off its own arm, then Britain's loss of sea power is tantamount to killing itself...

Seeing that, the remaining less than 20 battleships could no longer be kept, because the battleships of the Datang Group were still attacking, attacking tirelessly!

Intensive artillery fire hit again, and another battleship was hit and capsized. Now there are only 15 warships left in the Kingdom of Tarun.

Yes, only 15 left.There were 19 battleships remaining in the formation before, and 3 warships turned around and fled just now. Among the remaining battleships, another battleship was sunk.

As far as Varen could see, a battleship hoisted a white flag, but was still attacked by shells, billowing thick smoke.

The other party didn't seem to have the patience to accept the captives, or the other party didn't seem to intend to let the Tarun Kingdom fleet go.

Finally, Varen realized that he had to do something to save his face, or to grasp the last glimmer of hope.

He looked at the pale-faced officers beside him, and shouted loudly: "Quick! Give my order! Let the fleet turn full rudder! Get out of this sea area... Spread out! Escape as much as you can... Escape as much as you can! "

Then, in shock and despair, the commanders of the remaining warships saw an order that drove them crazy: "Scatter, leave the battlefield, and find a way to return to the Kingdom of Tarun."

But they immediately found that they seemed unable to leave.

Because, two more warships were sunk...

Thank you His Majesty the Emperor for the reward, I still owe an update... I am ashamed to receive it.
