Chapter 636 Defeat, surrender
The vanguard part of the left wing of the coalition forces had begun to collapse, and all kinds of ships fled in all directions. Instead, those who were behind were gathered together. However, Liang Cheng did not think they had the intention to continue fighting or break through, because the chuáng crossbows on the ship had been removed, and this posture was simply at the slaughter of others and was ready to surrender.
The Xu brothers acted the fastest. After discovering that the ace was crushed, their fighting spirit also collapsed. Relying on the Clippers, they quickly turned around and embarked on an escape journey. [..com]
Of course, this journey is destined to be difficult. When you come, it will be a good wind, so when you escape, it will be a good wind. No matter how fast you are, the flywheel warship is essentially a sailboat. If the wind direction is not favorable, it can only be compensated by manpower.
The pirates on the right wing knew that they could not escape, so they were also ruthless and rushed to the port with all their might, preparing to open a road from the shore. The result was of course tragic. The thunder sounded on the shore verified Liang Cheng's guess. There were indeed artillery batteries on the shore, and there were quite a few.
Even if you log in, it's useless. It's noon, and the sun is hanging high in the middle of the sky. The gorgeous sunlight shines on the dock, and a metal reflection is shaking, very dazzling.
Liang Cheng knew very well what that was. It was the armor on the Liaozhen border army who was waiting for battle. Although their number may not be greater than that of pirates, they were fully armed. They only had short weapons on their hands and no armor on their bodies.
Even if the combat experience of the border army is not considered, the combat effectiveness of both sides is not on the same level. If it is improved, it will be just another one-sided land battle.
"Sir, retreat quickly!" Liang Cheng's personal soldiers were loyal. Even in such a situation of defeat, no one left the master and fled.
"Retreat? Where to retreat and what to retreat?" Liang Cheng smiled miserably and looked around in a daze. Of course, the Royal Navy would not watch it. They had already started pursuing.
The speed of the ship led by Lu Xiaosi was already scattered around, and at this time they formed a large circle, specifically intercepting the collapsed Fu Ship. The speed of the Fu Ship was not enough to be on the flywheel warship. Although there were chuáng crossbows on the ship, if the weapon did not form a volley, the power would be quite poor, so in front of the flywheel warship, they still had to be beaten.
What's more, there are still gunboats in the inner circle. Ten gunboats divided the troops into two groups, one in Lushun and the other was chasing behind the Xu brothers.
Although it was also a big ship, the speed of the five big ships that were chasing was not reduced at all. Thick black smoke quickly crossed the sky, away from the battlefield, and chased southward.
Liang Cheng had no doubt at all whether they could catch up with the Xu brothers. He was just wondering what this black smoke was, how could it drive such a large ship so fast?
So there is no need to run away. At this time, the smartest way is to surrender. The maritime merchants on the left have already done this. After unarmed, the Royal Navy accepted their surrender, so they began to salvage and rescue people.
With such an example, others will understand what to do. Whether it is a maritime merchant or a navy, only a few people die hard, not to mention that the people with the strongest fighting will rushed forward, and the heavy casualties in the shelling were already out of reach.
Pirates are even more aware of the wind. They had no loyalty at the beginning, and even feared their boss more than respected them. Of course, they also took saving their lives as the priority.
As the Royal Navy surrendered, the sound of surrendering sounded, the sound of bowstrings stirring, cannons, and screams became sparse. More and more people joined the ranks of surrender.
In the same situation, where can Liang Cheng run and where can he run?
You know, the flagship under his feet is a large ship of two thousand materials. From the outside, it is not inferior to the gunboats in Lushun, and even looks bigger because the ship is relatively square.
However, the speed of this ship is far worse than that of others. Not to mention chasing flywheel warships, even compared with ordinary lucky ships, they can only be far behind. It is impossible to escape by relying on this ship. "You are surrendering. Although Lord Xie is cruel in his methods, he is very kind to those with low status. You are just ordinary soldiers, so it is definitely no problem to save your life..." Liang Cheng sat on the deck, waved weakly, indicating that the personal soldiers could escape on their own.
"What about you, sir?"
"I? Haha, I am the chief general, and I am a member of the aristocratic family. I am a mortal enemy of Lord Xie. Now that things have come to this point, do you still want to survive?" Liang Cheng smiled self-deprecatingly and said tragically: "You go, I will live and die with the ship. Speaking of which, this is the first time I will ride such a large ship after being the navy admiral for so many years."
"Sir, let's surrender together. Even the pirates on the other side can tolerate them, why can't they tolerate them?" The personal soldiers urged. Even those struggling in the sea were caught. The plague god is much more kind than the legendary one. Even his own priest may not be able to die.
"You are not..." Liang Cheng stopped halfway through his words. Because the gunboat had already approached, the black gun mouth was filled with murderous aura, which made him shudder. He was not scared because he couldn't speak. In this naval battle, he was already scared enough and had become numb.
It was just that he had the opportunity to approach and observe the gunboat, which made him a little excited. For him, the great blessing ship under his feet was already a dream. The gunboat in front of him had exceeded his dream and was like a magical existence. His eyes were a little hungry and a little greedy.
"Listen to the people on the boat, please avoid death. Do you surrender?" A loud shout came from the opposite side, and dozens of shaking muzzles were footnotes, showing their majesty.
"Surrender, we are willing to surrender!" Before Liang Cheng could answer, the personal soldiers were already shouting.
"Drop off the crossbow and go to the port. First, warn you. If you want to survive, don't act like you." The person who called out gave a straightforward explanation, and then left.
"Sir, it's really okay."
The sailors of the ship had almost escaped. The flagship had too big targets. They were afraid of being implicated, so they jumped into the sea neatly.
The only ones left were Liang Cheng's personal soldiers. After hearing the other party's reply, most of them ran to dismantle the crossbow, and several close ones surrounded their own generals, and their words were filled with excitement of escaping from death.
"It's really………………………” Liang Cheng was a little confused. He didn't believe that the other party didn't realize it was a flagship, but he just let it go. Is he really going to surrender himself, or is he trying to capture the ship?
