Chapter 1334 The end of the sea battle

The sea was red with blood and flames.The surface of the sea is full of corpses of soldiers who died in battle, broken masts, damaged deck timbers, and countless wooden boxes. The strong smell of blood makes people's stomachs turn, and the wounded and survivors groan and wait for the last breath of their gods. ruling.

Hannah finally understood why Li Jinde emphasized the cruelty of the battlefield with her. Only those who have actually been on the battlefield will know the cruelty and bloodiness.

The warship she was on was surrounded by Ottoman ships, and several knights she knew were killed by Turkish soldiers who jumped onto the deck. They all turned into cold corpses and fell on the deck.She can see the hideous faces of enemies.

The captain took half of the ship with the remaining knights and sailors on the Maltese warship, and was desperately resisting the enemies on board.

More and more Turkish soldiers boarded the ship, holding muskets, machetes, hammers and other weapons in their hands!

"Hannah, after you jump into the sea to escape, I will go to the cabin and ignite explosives, and die with them..." The captain saw that the warship was gradually falling, and he was ready to die with the enemy.

"No, I want to live and die with everyone, we are all members of the Knights of the Hospitaller!" Hannah said resolutely.

Although I only know the cruelty of the battlefield now, but now that I have arrived on the battlefield, I have to fight like a brave soldier!

The captain winked at the knights beside Hannah, and the knights understood.

"Miss Hannah, I'm sorry!" The two knights pushed Hannah off the boat.

"No!"

Hannah fell into the water and instinctively grabbed a broken deck log and floated on the water.

She took a sip of the seawater and found that there were many soldiers and sailors who fell into the water lying on the driftwood and wooden barrels. As long as the wind direction and current were right, the opposing sides would try their best to kill each other!
Several Turks wearing turbans have already spotted the beautiful Hannah, and their eyes are green like a hunter seeing his prey.They try to get close to Hannah.

The wheel-wheel gun in Hannah's hand had long disappeared after falling into the sea water, but even if the wheel-wheel gun was still there, it could not be used after being soaked in sea water.

All she could touch was a dagger at her waist, which she needed to survive the siege of several Turkish soldiers.

She and a few Turkish soldiers were in the predicament of falling into the water, but even in such a predicament, a group of people still had to fight against the beast!

Several Turkish soldiers approached with their hands on the driftwood. They had blades longer than daggers, but they seemed to want to capture Hannah alive!

"Damn..." Hannah realized that she had nowhere to use her strength in the water, and it was difficult to fight against several Turkish soldiers at the same time!

It would be hard for her to imagine what would happen to her if she were captured by a few Turkish soldiers.

Better to commit suicide than to be captured!Hannah gave up struggling and sank to the bottom of the sea by herself.

boom! ! !
At this moment, the Maltese warship on the sea exploded!The flames engulfed several Turkish soldiers nearby!

The fierce battle on the sea lasted all afternoon before gradually ending.The left wing fleet led by the armored ship won the first victory, and then quickly rushed to the aid of the Royal Fleet and the Knights Hospitaller who were struggling.

Under the pincer attack of the Ironclad Fleet, the Royal Fleet, and the Knights Hospitaller, the central army of the Ottoman Empire Fleet was defeated, and Grand Vizier Barjlan Pasha disappeared.

Masha Pasha, the reserve team of the Imperial Fleet, saw that the situation was not good, and originally wanted to support the Chinese army, but after seeing the flagship on the right wing of his fleet was hit by the ammunition depot, he was ready to escape.When the right wing was completely defeated, he actually fled the battlefield with an intact reserve team.

The surviving Ottoman warships also retreated one after another, and the sea was full of scattered galleys, galleons, and rowing boats.

The angry Maltese fleet and the Royal Fleet were chasing after them. They were full of anger at the Ottoman Empire fleet that had caused them a lot of casualties, and they chased it dozens of miles away before returning.

The Tunisian Strait is full of tragic scenes after the war.

The ships of the Combined Fleet were either chasing fleeing Imperial Fleet ships or sweeping the battlefield.They rescued the companions who fell into the water and captured the enemies who were still alive.

These Ottoman soldiers showed a look of despair.They were tied up and held captive by the Combined Fleet.

The ironclad General Fubo did not chase down the enemy's ships meaninglessly after the battle, but stayed on the battlefield to participate in the rescue.

Basically, people in the United Fleet are familiar with water, and most of the crew members are still alive after the ship is sunk. Rescuing these crew members who fell into the water can reduce the loss of this sea battle.

They defeated the imperial fleet in the sea battle, but this time the losses were a bit serious, and many ships were sunk by the Ottoman Empire's sea tactics.

"Too many injured people..."

Li Jinde was put on the deck after the sea battle. He saw many wounded and drowned soldiers and sailors lying on the deck.

These wounded soldiers are not only the crew of the ironclad ship, but also the soldiers of the United Fleet rescued from the sea.

There are still dents on the deck of the ironclad ship from the shells, exposing the iron sheet under the planks, which shows the brutality of the battle.

Many of the people who were caught were drowned because they were soaked in the sea. Li Jinde, who had learned first aid knowledge, participated in the rescue of drowning soldiers.

In fact, as an ocean-going businessman like him, in addition to his business management ability, he also mastered various survival skills at sea, so it is no problem to rescue drowning people.

"Treasurer Li, do you know her? She will be handed over to you. There are too many people who fell into the water, and the military doctors on board the ship are rescuing the more seriously wounded." Two soldiers carried a drowning woman to find Li Jinde. After the woman was handed over to her, she went back to rescue other soldiers who fell into the water.

"How could it be her?" Li Jinde had a headache.

Isn't this woman the female knight Hannah who had a dispute with him last time?How did it appear here, and drowned?

"Hey, are you still conscious?!" Li Jinde checked Hannah's breath and pulse while confirming whether she was unconscious.

Hannah's breathing and pulse were weak, and she seemed to be dying at any moment.

"It seems that only artificial respiration and chest compressions can be performed..." Li Jinde glanced at the military doctor on the deck.

Military doctors are all rescuing wounded soldiers who were hit by shells or blades and are in great pain. Only they have the methods and medicines to stop bleeding and disinfect, and they don't care about this for the time being.Moreover, the members of the entire ironclad ship are all men, and there are no female military doctors.

"Although there are great defenses for men and women, but now that human life is at stake, I don't care so much."

Like saving other drowning soldiers, Li Jinde untied Hannah's neckline and cleaned up foreign objects in his mouth...
