Not only that, the visibility of the dark sea is surprisingly good.

Although I am two or three miles away from the dock, the lights on the dock are still very clear and Li Xinlong’s vision appears.
In the face of the lights on the pier, a very bold idea quickly flooded Li Xinlong’s mind
Against the department to see his eyes shouted
"There is a way to combine the horse signal lights with the warships to light the lights of the warships and retreat in the direction of the dock … signal the heavy artillery regiment stationed at the dock that my navy fleet intends to introduce the imperial navy warships into the dock and ask the imperial navy warships to enter the range of heavy artillery …"
"The officer doesn’t believe that 500 or 600 heavy guns attack the imperial navy at the same time and have the courage to continue to approach us … when the time comes, we will chase the warships and artillery after them."
"Of course, if they dare to attack us in turn, then we will lead them to the dock and let the brothers of the heavy artillery regiment clean them up …"
With the continuous fighting, the morale of the officers and men of the Tiger and Leopard Navy is getting lower and lower, while the imperial navy is getting higher and higher, and the more they fight, the more energetic they are.
In this case, the smile on the face of the commander-in-chief of the imperial navy is becoming more and more strong.
Just when he was chasing the tiger and leopard army navy with a desire for victory to boost the morale of the soldiers, he suddenly turned around and retreated to the dock in a crazy way.
Seeing that the Tiger and Leopard Army Navy Division is about to enter its own artillery range, how can the commander-in-chief of the Navy Division watch the duck fly away like this?
The commander-in-chief of the imperial navy reached the order to continue the pursuit without thinking.
Perhaps at this moment, all the imperial navy generals were blindfolded by the upcoming meritorious military service. Facing the commander in chief, no one thought that the fleet dock was defeated ten days ago, and no one questioned this order.
Just when the mighty imperial navy followed the tiger and leopard warships and rushed to the dock.
In the same way, thousands of gunners at the dock are playing with the heavy guns in front of them. With hundreds of heavy guns, they slowly raise their dark muzzle, and one flower bomb is also stuffed into the gun bore by the gunners to prepare for the shelling.
When the dock is waiting for the gunner to clearly see the Tiger and Leopard Navy’s warships, the order to fire quickly spread throughout the artillery position like a plague.
As soon as the deafening cannon sounded, it flew out of the gun bore and flew to the sea three miles away. The imperial navy was in crazy pursuit.
After firing, the heavy artillery regiment at the dock returned to the dock as if it were running for its life, and twenty warships were not idle.
After only a short pause, 300 heavy artillery howled again, catapulting gold pieces of flowers to the sea that was exploding two miles away.
The result of this artillery battle was unexpected.
Although the imperial navy still has more than 70 warships and nearly 1,000 guns of all kinds, because the imperial navy is in pursuit, the bow can really shell the dock, and the guns are less than 200%.
The Tiger and Leopard Army has more than 500 guns with longer range and faster firing speed.
The imperial navy lost more than twenty warships just after the bitter artillery battle lasted for one cup of tea.
While the Tiger and Leopard Army Navy was at the very most, two warships were intercepted by the imperial navy through artillery fire, and several warships were hit on the deck and smashed out of several big holes.
Although the imperial navy was very unwilling in the face of huge losses, it had to retreat under the threat of death.
But what they didn’t expect was that they had just left the dock and the heavy artillery range had not come yet. They breathed a sigh of relief. Tiger and Leopard troops left ten search warships and rushed out of the dock with three miles behind them to continue firing flowering bombs at themselves to destroy fewer and fewer warships.
"Tiger and Leopard Army is simply cruel to have something to do and fight a naval battle with the official … what is it to hide so much?" In the face of the continuous explosion around us, the flowering bomb was hit hard again, and the commander-in-chief of the navy could not help but scold.
However, his scolding did not reduce the number of flowering bullets around the fall.
When he saw that another warship around him exploded into a ball of fire, his gloomy face gradually began to become anxious.
On the side of lieutenant a face of eager said
"We can’t go on fighting like this. If we go on fighting like this, these warships brought by us will be blown to the bottom of the sea by butch troops …"
Also see the seriousness of the problem lieutenant immediately after opening chimed in.
"My Lord, up to now, we have less than fifty warships left, and almost half of them have been lost. In this case, there must be no more losses, otherwise we can’t explain to the court at all."
Chapter five hundred and forty Difficult decisions
"It’s time to make a decision, otherwise the whole navy fleet will lose our hands," the imperial navy commander-in-chief said to himself with a heavy face.
After suddenly turned his attention to the side lieutenant asked.
"General Li, you are more experienced in naval warfare than an official and have fought many naval battles. What do you think we should do now?"
"Retreat and disperse to retreat …" The lieutenant answered without thinking.
However, before his words were finished, a little expression full of unwillingness appeared on the commander’s face.
This navy lieutenant knows very well what the prince around him is thinking at this moment.
I am worried about my future and future, and I am not reconciled to this naval battle.
In the eyes of all the imperial court, this naval battle is definitely a win for the imperial navy, but now a win-win naval battle has been defeated by himself and suffered heavy losses.
Under such circumstances, the direct commander of this navy division will be attended by all the ministers in the court if he wants to return to the capital, so that his official position and rank in the court will definitely be lost, but what worries him most is not these, but the life of himself and his family.
Because Emperor Chongzhen always punished the defeated generals severely, he was so angry that Emperor Chongzhen directly dismissed himself from office and beheaded him.
Not willing, then not much to say.
A general with more than 100 warships will be very unwilling to be defeated by a navy division with only 20 warships and less than 20 days of formation.
Looking at the prince’s changing face and expression, I’m afraid that the prince will make any irrational decisions on impulse and eventually ruin the whole fleet, the lieutenant said quickly.
"If you want to please the passive beating situation, we have two ways to go. The first one is that the horse will fight back, which will help us to approach the tiger and leopard warships and attack them to destroy them."
"But after the artillery battle that just ended, we will show signs of counterattack and chase us. Tiger and Leopard warships will definitely do the same thing and retreat to the dock to bring us back into the range of their heavy artillery. They will arrange heavy artillery at the dock to attack us."
"In this way, waiting for us will leave the last ending. The tiger and leopard army heavy artillery and the navy division will end up in an army destruction field in a round of attacks."
After seeing the meaning of the guard, the lieutenant continued to speak and analyzed, "I will believe that at the end of the guard, even if you want revenge again, you will not make a decision that the whole fleet department will die in the sea."
"The second option mentioned by the late commander is the retreat mentioned by the late commander, which requires not only horses to retreat but also scattered retreat."
"According to the observation, there are ten warships chasing us at the end of the year. If we disperse and retreat, a limited number of warships of the Tiger and Leopard Navy can chase ten of us and continue to attack. With more than 20 warships left, we can try to get out of the battlefield."
"In this way, we can leave more than 20 warships to return to Tianjin, and we will believe that it is the best result for us to leave more than 20 warships to return to Tianjin."
At this time, the guard’s changing complex face finally stopped changing, and after a long sigh, a face of Nai said
"In that case, retreat and disperse to retreat … how many warships can be withdrawn … The imperial court and the emperor will give them a replacement … so that the navy can freely choose the direction of retreat and retreat to Tianjin …"
Facing the battlefield, Li Xinlong, the imperial navy division, wanted to pursue and destroy ten warships with his fleet.
But when he saw the soldiers around him who were both excited and tired, Li Xinlong directly dismissed this idea
