Chapter 269 The Destruction of the Taren Fleet

The scene had become very chaotic. General Warren stood at the stern of his battleship, standing by the steering wheel, watching the two leading battleships begin to turn the rudder.

The battleship approaching him immediately saw the semaphore order, coupled with the huge pressure brought by the enemy ship, and without much hesitation, it began to turn the rudder to the left, preparing to flee the battlefield.

The warships farther away had no time to turn, because they had been caught up by the warships of the Datang Group and opened fire.

A few more warships were on fire, and General Warren no longer needed binoculars to appreciate the huge sea monster with a slender hull.

Such a powerful, invincible, ruthless monster warship should belong to the Tarun Kingdom.General Warren thought to himself.

Then, he saw many main guns on the battleship about 1000 meters away, aiming at his flagship.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a burst of flames erupting from the muzzle of the gun of the slender battleship, and then the battleship under his feet trembled violently.

He saw a huge explosion lift off the bow of his battleship, and the jib and mast in front of his battleship snapped together and fell into the sea ahead.

The artillery on the side of the bow was raised high due to the explosion, and then smashed into the water together with the surrounding corpses and deck fragments, causing a splash of water.

General Warren was knocked to the ground by the huge shock, and finally struggled to stand up. He saw his adjutant, with a fragment of a wooden deck stuck in his face, collapsed not far from him, twitching non-stop. .

Obviously, his adjutant was not completely dead yet, but in such a tragic state of battle, no one would think of a way to save him.

Varun struggled to get up. He didn't want the remaining soldiers to think that he was dead in battle. He had to stand at a high place at the stern so that all the crew could clearly see him.

"Hold on! Hold on!" Varen staggered on the tilting battleship with his long sword in his hand, reminding the surrounding soldiers loudly.

Then he saw that the warship that fired at him was rapidly overtaking the sailing warship he was on which had lost most of its speed.

The opponent didn't even bother to fire and attack again, and directly accelerated to overtake his wounded flagship, and rushed towards the fleeing warship of the Tarun Kingdom in the distance.

Varen really wanted to yell back loudly, he really wanted to stop the other party and let the other party fight himself to the death.

But he knew that this was already a luxury.His battleship was so badly damaged that he couldn't even continue fighting.

"General, General! The bow of the ship is sinking, and we are getting water!" An officer hurriedly climbed up the stairs, came to the stern, and reported loudly.

When he was speaking, his eyes just fell on the dead adjutant's body lying on the deck, so he swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.

While he was reporting, on the Burnas-class battleship following the Wolf 1 cruiser, the gunner of the 75mm caliber gun on the side saw the enemy flagship that had basically lost its sailing ability through the scope.

Without any hesitation, the gunner pulled the gun rope and fired a 75mm shell.

This shell accurately hit the flagship of the Tarun Kingdom Fleet, and the hit part happened to be where the black powder was piled up.

The explosion of the shell ignited the black powder, and then the black powder burst into flames.

On weekdays, these gunpowder are stored in wooden barrels, but now many wooden barrels have been opened for firing.

That's it, the gunpowder in these wooden barrels was ignited, and instantly ignited some messy things around.

The fire began to spread on the ship, and a new 75mm shell slammed into the side of the huge battleship.

The more intense explosion lifted a large part of the ship's side, and the sea water poured in frantically. The entire hull of the sailing ship immediately began to vibrate violently, and suddenly tilted to the starboard side.

Varun held on to the railing on the side of the ship, watching his battleship capsize little by little with a pale face.He was powerless to prevent all this from happening, he could only watch helplessly as his flagship sank into the bottom of the sea.

"Sir! Order to abandon the ship!" An officer stepped over the corpse of a sailor, walked up to Varen with difficulty, and pleaded: "If you don't abandon the ship, it will be too late!"

"I'm going to sink with the ship! I'm a sinner! I'm a sinner of Tarun Kingdom!" Varun cried loudly, unwilling to accept the fact that this naval battle had been a fiasco.

However, his collapse did not bring mercy. Another 75mm shell flew in and hit the middle between Varun and the officer who came to persuade him.

Then, the flames that burst suddenly engulfed Varun and the officer, and the flagship of the Tarun Kingdom's fleet that remained on the sea was completely disintegrated into a pile of broken wood along with the explosion.

……

Bunas, Tang Mo, who was gathering supplies to send to all surrounding countries, received the telegram from Refenggang from Li Ao.

He looked down at the content of the telegram carefully, frowned and looked at Leo who sent the telegram, and asked for confirmation, "The battleship of the Tarun Kingdom...appeared in Rewind Harbor?"

Leo nodded, and answered, "Yes, master. The telegram sent by Bernard made it very clear that at this time, a naval battle should have broken out between the two sides."

This telegram was sent by Bernard before the start of the battle, and during the subsequent battle, Bernard did not send back any more news.

Tang Mo frowned, staring at the telegram, and expressed his own judgment a little depressed: "The matter is more complicated than we imagined."

"Yes, master!" Leo agreed.

Then, he continued to comfort Tang Mo and said, "I'm not worried about Bernard's fleet. No one can defeat our warships in naval battles."

Tang Mo put the telegram at hand, and said to Li Ao worriedly, "Yes, that's not what I'm worried about."

"What is that, my master." Leo continued to ask.

Tang Mo didn't hold back either, but directly expressed his own judgment: "I'm worried about Dorne. Their expansion was too fast before, which caused a series of social problems. These problems have not been resolved, and they may be people take advantage of."

"You mean..." Hearing Tang Mo mentioning Don, Li Ao suddenly realized something, and muttered.

Tang Mo directly stated his analysis: "The attack came from Tarun, and it is impossible for the opponent to mobilize such a huge fleet to go north because of some guesses about the Battle of Dragon Island, so the attack on Refeng Harbor this time must be due to other reasons. !"

The time is wrong!Because he was very sure that the pioneering group of Dragon Island, as well as the transport ship and Tarun's escort warship, that is, all the troops led by Howson, were all annihilated or captured in the Battle of Dragon Island.

Therefore, no one will tip off the Tarun Kingdom to use such a large fleet to take revenge on Hot Wind Harbor or simply to put it in trouble.

Since he didn't come here for revenge, the other party's movements are worthy of scrutiny.Tang Mo sneered, feeling that he had guessed what the other person was thinking.

Li Ao is also a smart person, so he understood everything and suddenly realized: "I understand, you are worried that Tarun Kingdom did not come here for the revenge of the Battle of Dragon Island, but for Dorne?"

Tang Mo nodded, agreeing with Leo's statement: "It's probably like this, and Cyric must have been involved, and they got mixed up! They are going to launch an action against us in Dorne."

Li Ao was a little surprised. If the other party had prepared to this level, then Dawn would be in great danger.

After all, the fleet of Tarun Kingdom is going north, and there is still a Hieron Kingdom between Taren Kingdom and Dorne Kingdom... It is estimated that this country is now ready to attack the Dorne Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Li Ao looked at Tang Mo and asked, "Master, if this is really the case, what should we do?"

Tang Mo didn't have a good solution either. He couldn't mobilize any more troops to deal with threats from a new direction.

Therefore, he can only let the people on Dawn's side handle the series of difficult problems that are about to erupt.

Just listen to his instructions to Leo: "Let everyone in Dorne be vigilant, and if there is a problem, solve it immediately! I think they will run into trouble soon."

"Yes! Master, I understand!" Li Ao wrote down Tang Mo's order, lowered his head and did not leave the room immediately.

Sure enough, Tang Mo continued to speak, as if he was talking to himself: "There has been a problem recently in the Yangmu Kingdom. Their internal affairs are in a mess. Marquis Leibert is already in a state of desperation, and turmoil may break out at any time."

He talked from north to south about the various problems that have arisen recently, and it would be difficult to single out one, let alone these things broke out together.

It is hard to believe that this is a coincidence. It seems that only the Cyric Group can gather such a huge force and is willing to target the Datang Group.

"The relationship between the Pinewood Kingdom and the Poplarwood Kingdom has not been very good, so the turmoil in the Poplarwood Kingdom has made them very uncomfortable. They are always worried that there will be problems on their borders, so they are also dispatching troops." Tang Mo said, While looking at the elderly Leo: "The northeastern border of the Kingdom of Susas is under great pressure. Cyric has joined forces with soldiers from several surrounding kingdoms to suppress the border. Susas is also in a state of internal and external troubles."

"The battle on the eastern border of the Kingdom of Wright is still going on. With the outcome tied, we have no chance of breaking the game." Having said this, Tang Mo paused.

Li Ao felt that he should remind him that Bernard might have won the victory over Hong Kong: "On the contrary, the Battle of Hong Kong just broke out. We have gained an advantage. Can we take advantage of it?"
