The first thousand five hundred and fifty-seven chapters battle the empire (53)
The black cloud that covered the sky and the earth soon appeared above the fleet. In just a moment, the strong wind that could blow the warships down, the waves that could overturn the warships, the deafening lightning that could penetrate the warships into a huge hole, the hail of a peacock with an attacking force like a crossbow, and the huge raindrops that made life hurt. These terrifying natural phenomena appeared in front of these sailors with the black clouds.
Faced with such a terrifying situation, everyone could only greet it with a miserable and helpless wail, the devil who had come to this world for the third time in history.
On the sea, hundreds of warships were distributed in this completely boiling wave.
These ships are competing with the sky for their own destiny, but unfortunately, their efforts seem to be of little use compared to the power of nature.
The surged waves threw them high very easily, and then fell down fiercely. The storm and storm carried fists as hail as a fist, like rain hitting banana leaves, making the sails of the ships thousands of holes, making more ships without power.
After a few howls of bullying in the heavy rain, the ship had no choice but to disappear with the huge waves coming from a veil.
The ships that can still move cannot pay attention to the brothers who are destined to die. They can only grit their teeth and pull the sails hard, and row the ships toward the land.
At this time, even idiots understand that only by relying on the dock can they save their lives, otherwise they will sink to the bottom of the sea to accompany those unlucky brothers.
At this moment when the power of nature is raging, all hostile states are thrown aside. No one is interested in paying attention to the enemy ship that is close to him and flees. Everyone has only one idea to dock with the fastest speed!
The ships of the Third Fleet knew that their port was not far away, so they drove the ship with confidence.
The Joint Fleet, which was confused about this sea area, was worried, and even followed the ships of the Third Fleet closely.
The other party is a local snake here, and following them is better than hanging out on the sea.
As for whether she will fall into the tiger's mouth when she runs to the other party's nest? Now I don't have time to think about this.
Therefore, hundreds of ships were seen rolling and advancing in the waves. Although ships sank and disappear from time to time, the surviving ships were still sailing in one direction with a tough strait.
The lookout hand trapped himself to death on the lookout post, with a steel helmet on his head and armor. Even if he was suffering from the intensive attacks of hail with storms, he endured the pain and coldness, and forced himself to take the energy and squint his eyes and looked around.
Because he knew that his sight would determine the hope of the whole ship's brothers, he had to hold on to the greatest difficulties.
Just as the lookout hand glanced at the sea and thought that nothing could be seen except a dark hail and rain, I suddenly found a yellow light as big as beans in the dark world in the distance.
The lookout hand rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked carefully. He found that the yellow light was not an illusion, but indeed existed. He couldn't help but waved the flag desperately, and pulled his throat and shouted at the bottom: "I saw the lighthouse!"
The soldiers who were risking their lives on the deck were staring at the lookout platform with their ears erected, and immediately shouted in surprise: "I saw the port!"
The sailor close to the door of the cabin quickly passed this into the cabin.
The originally lifeless cabin immediately boiled.
Although it didn't take long to encounter a storm, the feeling of not seeing hope at all seemed to have been through years of hardship. Now that I heard that I was about to return to the port, a feeling of seeing light in the dark immediately emerged, and everyone immediately felt refreshed and cheered in unison.
As the distance got closer, the sailors on the lookout were able to see the tower of the lighthouse, the port was tied tightly with cables, and the figures of ships floating with the waves could also be vaguely seen.
He couldn't help but jump up happily. At this time, he was not afraid of falling into the sea. At such a close distance from the shore, he had the confidence to swim back no matter how big the wind and waves were.
The busy crowds of people braved the storm and rain on the port dock also saw these ships and immediately distributed a group of people to prepare to welcome the entry of these ships.
When entering the port area, the wind and waves suddenly became smaller. The sailors who were dizzy and swayed to the point of swaying were struggling to climb out of the cabin. However, after seeing the land, they immediately fiddled with the sailing oars and tried to make the remaining ships parked in the shortest time.
When the ship's cable was caught by the dock, the sailors breathed a sigh of relief and finally survived.
As the number of ships entering the port increased, the number of busy people became more and more. The Third Fleet sailors who originally wanted to take a break had no choice but to get up and join the work.
No matter how hard you are, it doesn’t matter at all.
As the ships increased, the number of sailors increased. Later, the entire dock was busy with sailors from the Third Fleet.
When a ship with the first fleet sailed into the port, the sailors of the third fleet were stunned for a moment, then immediately pulled out their weapons and surrounded them with a ferocious look.
This is a good time to beat the dog in the water.
However, when the ship was hung with the flag of surrender, the sailors of the Third Fleet were depressed.
Unlike the army, the navy will win the war and the winner will rescue the losers who fall into the water. Moreover, if the enemy surrenders, they will definitely surrender and will not massacre, and the surrender will not rebel.
This is a unique rule of the navy. Although there are no explicit regulations, it is well known.
So the Third Fleet sailors who wanted to relieve their nerves by killing and killing them could only helplessly put away their weapons and turn to the prisoners.
The captain and sailors on this First Fleet ship didn't care that they were tied up by the Third Fleet sailors. They all had a look of escaping from disaster.
Frightened by the storm, they had long lost the pride of the Imperial Navy. They deeply realized that the victory or defeat was not as good as their own lives.
On the sea not far from the port, on the shaking joint fleet flagship, Jiang Yu, Qi Ming and four other fleet captains looked at the ship with a surrender flag with a gloomy face. They knew that they were in a dilemma now and were in a difficult position to get off the tiger.
If you don’t rely on the port, you will definitely be sunk into the sea by storms. If you rely on the port, you will definitely become a prisoner of the Third Fleet.
"Do you decide whether to surrender or be sunk by the wind and waves?"
Qiming said with a hideous face, "We can land on other shores!"
A fleet leader said disdainfully: "Stop dreaming, the land along the coast is the land of others. Our ship lands is simply a delivery of vegetables. Moreover, if you are captured in that state, you will not receive any good treatment."
Another fleet captain said with a sad face: "Even if we are unwilling to surrender, what about our subordinates? In such a disaster, they will not care about the orders of our fleet captains. It can be concluded that this disaster is enough to completely make our four fleets history."
When everyone heard this, they felt a slump. It can be estimated that there are seven or eight hundred warships that can come here now. If these warships do not surrender, it is absolutely impossible to land.
Because of the disaster, these warships can only come one by one, which is completely a delivery posture. It is completely a dream to rely on the strength of a ship to compete with a port stationed in heavy troops and fleets, so in the end these warships will become prisoners of the Third Fleet.
If these warships were captured, that was nothing. Anyway, the four fleets still had half of their troops in their nests. Unfortunately, the commanders of their four fleets were also here and faced the choice of not surrendering and dying. Without themselves, the remaining four fleets with half of their troops could still exist, but would they still be their own fleet?
Thinking of this, the four of them sighed and said, "Surrender."
As soon as they said this, they knew that the Imperial Fleet was over.
When the joint flagship raised the surrender flag, several warships had already surrendered with white flags.
And those warships that were unwilling to sink just like this and did not dare to surrender easily, saw that the flagship also surrendered, immediately hung up the white flag with peace of mind and rushed to the port.
Jiang Yu's four fleet captains actually surrendered. The news made everyone overjoyed, because it means that as long as the natural disaster passes, the entire empire waters will be their backyard!
The entire empire has no navy that can compete with itself!
The news was reported layer by layer, but facing Liu Ming, the commander of the Third Fleet, the commander of the Navy of Zhao Hu, the four Jiang Yu, who were already down-to-earth, all showed disdain and refused to surrender to Liu Ming.
This is because now that it is safe and self-esteem has once again gained the upper hand.
They believed that although they surrendered, they surrendered only because they avoided natural disasters, and they did not surrender because they were defeated, so they did not surrender like the enemy navy.
Liu Ming felt that there was nothing strange about Jiang Yu and the others' unfair behavior. If he was in such a situation, he would only be willing to surrender to the other party's leader, rather than surrender like his opponent, because this opponent did not defeat him and was not worthy of his respect at all.
Understanding Jiang Yu and the other four, Liu Ming suppressed his subordinates' dissatisfaction and immediately reported the news to Zhao Hu, the general.
Although the heavenly punishment has begun to form, it is now just raging on the sea surface and there is only a little rain on the land, so it is not a problem to let the Grand Commander come and suffer the surrender.
Although it was not afternoon at this moment, the Grand Governor's Office was already brightly lit, and the staff holding materials were in and out, while more than a dozen cavalrymen in straw rain rushed into the darkness in the wind and rain.
After a while, a team of cavalry escorted a carriage back.
As soon as the carriage stopped, an old white-bearded man appeared from inside the carriage. The servant holding a lantern at the door immediately carried an umbrella to cover and support him.
