"Send Master Yan to Yunchuan No. 1." The woman wiped the dirt on her face, glanced at Yan Zhan who was fainting on the ground, and said, "Let the people from Yunchuan No. 1 sail the ship back to the court.

go."

"What about you, my lord?"

"Me?" Xin Yue chuckled, but there was no expression in his eyes, "I want to take a gamble."

"Ah - sir, there are no dice here." The soldier said in embarrassment.

The curvature of Xin Yue's lips deepened, and his eyes softened a little.

At this moment, a cannon from far away followed the strong wind and hit the hull of the Imperial Haicang ship with a bang. The ship fell into turmoil. The soldiers seemed to be sliding in the snow, staggering here and there.

.

The ship tilted to starboard and sank a little.

After many days of fighting, this ship was already in tatters, and several holes were blown out of the sails. Even if it was under full sail, it could not move forward at half of its usual speed. Because it was used too frequently, several forts were also on strike.

In this situation, which is getting worse, many people already know that this ship is probably not far away from being killed in battle.

"Listen to me. If you want to retreat, swim quickly to Yunchuan No. 2 or No. 3! If you want to hold on, stay on standby on our own ship or go to Mang Zang No. 1!"

The woman on the platform suddenly spoke, and the soldiers beside her shouted orders according to her wishes.

The crowd was in an uproar when these words came out. Many people were prepared to die because this iron-blooded female officer never allowed them to escape before the battle. They thought that this time she would say "Don't give up the idea of ​​evacuating at all", but they didn't.

I thought this would be the result.

"What about you, Admiral?" someone in the crowd asked.

"Idiot! Will I ask anyone to stay after I retreat?" Xin Yue raised his eyebrows.

"But... Admiral, you, there are no reinforcements in this battle, and the firearms will be exhausted. There is no chance of victory. Let's return to the court and make a long-term plan."

"Even if the outcome is decided, I will let them win the hard way." Xin Yue said, "They will be frightened next time.

, I don’t dare to start a war easily.”

"Captain Chu, look at the formation over there, do you want to withdraw your troops?" A Dutch soldier asked Chu Zhiling.

This battle was a forward attack by the Dutch army. The Dutch main ship was six nautical miles away from Chu Zhiling's ship, which was relatively far away. When Chu Zhiling heard this, he frowned and said thoughtfully: "Maybe."

On the enemy's Haicang ship, soldiers jumped off the ship one after another, but the commander in dark blue clothes remained unmoved. The woman stood against the wind, her slender body cast a long shadow by the setting sun, and her pale and thin face had a trace of

There was no expression at all, but the bright black eyes shone with a sharp light like a blade, which was covered up in an instant, turning into as cold and indifferent as frost and snow.

"It seems to be retreating. Do you want to take advantage of the victory and pursue it to avoid future troubles?"

"No," Chu Zhiling waved his hand and said, "Don't chase the poor bandits. If they withdraw, just let them go."

The Dutch soldier hesitated for a moment and then asked: "What if there was no retreat?"

"Then... Then capture them alive, especially the important generals. You should understand that if they are in our hands, we will have more leverage when negotiating with the court."

"But didn't Captain Chu say he wanted to kill Emperor Ming Chao directly?"

"Do you think it can be done!" Chu Zhiling suddenly yelled irritably, "It took more than a month to conquer this maritime defense line. Can Zhu Yan be killed casually?"

He calmed down and glanced at the enemy's main ship. Something seemed to be flashing in his eyes. After a long while, he said calmly: "Take your time."

"It's...Captain Chu."

"Angle 45 degrees east by north, full port rudder! Vertical and horizontal sails! Franchise - fire!" an order broke out from the Dutch ship. Suddenly, the sea surface was ablaze, and the crumbling imperial court was seen to be about to collapse again.

The main ship showed its decline even more.

At this time, five large Dutch warships and three imperial ships were fighting fiercely on the sea. The fleets on both sides kept changing their formations. The sea was filled with smoke-filled white mist, and the sun gradually set in the west.

The whole world exudes a magnificent luster like fire.

"Sir Admiral...the shells...the shells are almost used up..." On the imperial officer's ship, the soldier had just finished his words when he was pushed away. The woman who pushed him flew up with a stride, her steps were as fast as a meteor, almost

In the blink of an eye, he came to the helm, knocked people away, grabbed the helm and twisted it hard.

Veins loomed on her slender arms, and the woman bit her lower lip with her snow-white mouth. The helmsmen turned the rudder hard in her direction, and finally changed the direction of the ship. Where the warship was originally, a powerful torpedo whizzed.

Swishing across the bottom of the water.

The tension was temporarily relieved. Sweat fell from the woman's pale face. She leaned on the steering wheel with her hands and breathed lightly. Her figure was stretched by the setting sun and was very long and thin.

"Admiral?" The helmsmen couldn't help but shout when they saw Xin Yue's expression was not right.

But at this time, there was a bang, the ship was hit again by an enemy ship, and the world was shaken by the earth and the mountains.

"Admiral, are we going to lose?" After the ship stabilized, a young helmsman asked with a cry.

"Who said that!" The pale woman suddenly raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily.

"But……"

"Since you choose to stay, please stop being verbose and cry like a man." Xin Yue raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

"Sir! Please give us instructions on what we should do!" Mr. Ba suddenly rushed into the wheelhouse and asked urgently.

"Continue the bombardment!"

"No more shells!"

"Then use rockets!"

"There are no more rockets..." Mr. Ba lowered his head and whispered, "No more."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Just use torpedoes!"

"There are only three torpedoes. The Admiral has a unique eye. Just in case, I will launch them myself."

"A bunch of drunkards and ricebags!" Xin Yue said angrily with a burning sensation in his chest.

Mr. Gao raised his head and looked at Xin Yue standing there motionless. He couldn't help but say: "Sir?"

"Huh? What's the matter?" Xin Yue looked at the manager, his eyes blurred and dark, as if surrounded by a layer of fog.

Suddenly, there was a bang, and the thin woman fell straight to the ground.

"Sir!" A chorus of shouts suddenly rang out, and everyone quickly helped Xin Yue up.

When he grabbed Xin Yue's arms and shoulders, it was hard not to feel that she was extremely thin, her body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of skin, and her protruding bones were very painful in the hand.

"Sir, wake up!" someone exclaimed anxiously.

Such a situation is very surprising to everyone and can even be said to be unexpected. In their minds, Xin Yue is their invincible admiral and a more powerful person than the governor. The governor can be sick or disappear.

Although she is a human figure, Admiral Xin is their undefeatable god of war. Most of the time, they ignore her gender, and even ignore the fatigue she has endured for days and months, just because of the calmness she shows intentionally or unintentionally.

Because she is here, it seems that many things have become easier. Why not just fight a battle? She always half-closed her eyes and said such words lazily.

This battle lasted for more than a month. Many times, she stayed up all night, thinking about warship strategy. At the same time, she had to withstand the pressure from above and appease the anti-war sentiments of some soldiers. As the war intensified,

, her sleep time was getting less and less, and one or two soldiers knew that she had severe anorexia, because they saw her vomiting three times while eating, but she still stuffed food into her mouth, probably because she didn't want to

You will collapse due to exhaustion and lack of food replenishment.
