Chapter 398
It is impossible to distinguish between male and female. Wolves enter the house, and the evil fire slaughters one side.

With cold eyes and cold eyes, thousands of souls perish in the river.

"Report! Report to the Marshal! General Fenwu's headquarters was found five miles away to the north!"

Just when the atmosphere in the cabin seemed very dull, a messenger suddenly ran in excitedly and reported to Li Guo.

Li Guo couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, the other generals also relaxed.

"Okay! Although it's a bit late, it's okay to arrive safely.

Thinking about it, General Fenwu also encountered some misfortune, if not for his style, it would not be like this. "

Hearing Li Guo's words, all the generals had strange expressions on their faces.

For such a major action, if you are late for a quarter of an hour, you will be punished, or at least reprimanded;
But now that Li Laiheng was late for more than an hour, Li Guo not only didn't have the slightest intention of pursuing it, but was still helping Li Laiheng to excuse him.

However, despite the slander in their hearts, none of the generals dared to express their dissatisfaction, and they all smiled and nodded in agreement.

As time slowly passed, the re-entry of a messenger broke the relaxed atmosphere again...

"Report! Report to the Marshal! Something is wrong!
There are more than five hundred ships under the command of General Fenwu!In addition, after General Fenwu's fleet, there is still a fleet of about [-] ships chasing after it!

From the looks of it, General Fenwu's headquarters should be trying to escape! "

"what?!"

Li Guo was startled and jumped up immediately, the rest of the generals were also stunned, it was obvious that they were all frightened by this news.

Li Guo took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down and asked:

"Have you ever seen it clearly?"

"Back to Marshal! The sentinel has already checked carefully, so it should be correct!"

"Should? You bastard! How can there be such ambiguous words in the army!
Send the order down, let the forward sentry ship carefully observe and identify! "

Li Guo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and roared angrily.

"promise!"

The messenger was taken aback and hurriedly took the order to leave.

After the messenger left, Li Guo began to pace up and down in the cabin;

It can be seen from the hands that are constantly intertwined behind his back that Li Guo is actually in a very restless mood at this time.

After more than a hundred breaths, the previous messenger rushed in again.

"Marshal! It has been confirmed that General Fenwu is indeed fleeing under the chase of the opponent!

And judging from the opponent's banner, it should be the Promise Army without a doubt! "

"what?!"

"The Promise Army?"

"How is this possible? It shouldn't be!"

"That's right, how can the Promise Army have the energy to take care of other things at this time? Shouldn't they be overwhelmed and overwhelmed?"

……

All the generals were shocked when they heard the words, and they looked very unbelievable.

Li Guo was also stunned, but when he came back to his senses, his expression became even uglier.

The sudden appearance of the Promise Army is indeed a puzzling bad news, but the even worse news is that Li Laiheng's escape has been confirmed...

Since there are only more than [-] warships of Li Laiheng's department being chased and escaped by the opponent, it means that the rest of the warships may have encountered accidents!
And, more importantly, what about those troop carriers?What happened to them...

Li Guo didn't dare to think about it now.

At the same time, Li Guo still had deep doubts in his heart. According to the information, the total number of naval vessels of the Promise Army in Youzhou is only more than 1000, and most of them are first-, second-, and third-class small ships;

With such strength, how could the opponent defeat the North Route Army with more than 2000 warships?

"Command! Beat the war drum! Order the whole army to turn around and look north, and be on alert!
At the same time, order the Eighth Squadron to go forward to support it! "

"promise!"

The messenger responded respectfully, but he didn't leave immediately, but hesitated for a while and spoke again:

"Marshal! There are seven very huge warships in the opponent's fleet, and their ranks may have surpassed the seventh rank and reached the rank of the eighth rank giant warship!"

Everyone was shocked again, and the unbelievable look in their eyes became even more intense.

Eighth-class giant god battleship?How is this possible?

You know, even the most powerful ship of their Dashun Dynasty is just a warship barely reaching the seventh-class Feng'ao level;
Even for the most powerful naval forces of Ming and Qing, their most powerful warships are only seventh-class top-level warships.

And the Promise Army only occupies a state, and the time for its rise is also very short.

Where did they get the eighth-class battleship?

And even if they mastered the method of building eighth-class warships, where did Feng Wuji get so much money and resources to build them?
This matter is full of weirdness, it is really hard for people to figure it out, as if they are in a fog, and they can't see anything clearly.

Li Guo's heart sank even more, it seemed that what the Wuji Army was hiding was not as deep as usual!
If the Wuji Army really had many eighth-class warships and a large number of other warships, then the disastrous defeat of the North Route Army could be explained.

However, Li Guo was not worried about the safety of the main fleet. After all, no matter how weird the Promise Army was and how fast it developed, it was impossible for them to pose a threat to their main fleet.

"Follow orders!"

"promise!"

After the orderer retreated, Li Guo greeted the generals, and then led them to the top deck, holding up the binoculars and began to observe the situation in the north.

In the distance, the remaining ships of the Northern Route Army gradually passed by the Eighth Squadron, which was going to support it;

However, the Everlasting Army Fleet that was chasing after it showed no sign of slowing down and leaving. It was still relentlessly chasing and rushing towards the Eighth Squadron.

Seeing this scene, everyone frowned.

Under such a distance, the Promise Army must have seen its own huge fleet formation.

But facing this situation, the other party didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​giving up, but continued to chase after him, which seemed very strange.

Although the opponent's front seven warships did shock Dashun's generals to the extreme, but with the huge difference in numbers, the opponent's move is tantamount to courting death!
Knowing that it is impossible to be the opponent, why is the opponent still unwilling to leave?

Everyone's hearts are filled with deep doubts.

Time passed slowly, and the Eighth Squadron and the Promise Fleet soon fought each other, and the development of the battle made all the generals of Dashun dumbfounded.

The Eighth Squadron has more than 600 warships, and among them there are as many as [-] large ships, which are absolutely elite.

But with such a powerful formation, Pu fell into a comprehensive disadvantage as soon as he came into contact with it.

In just over a hundred breaths of effort, more than [-] warships of the Eighth Squadron were sunk, and nearly a hundred warships were either damaged or set on fire...

The generals of Dashun all took a breath, and their expressions of horror became even more intense.

"Pass my commander's order! The Ninth and Tenth Fleets stay behind to protect the safety of the troop carrier, and all warships of the rest of the squadron immediately throw off the steel cable, contacting the horizontal trend, the whole army presses down! Destroy the Promise Army!"

Li Guo was trembling with anger, and immediately gave the order for the main force to press down in anger.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The remnant ships of the North Route Army that had already rushed to the front of the main fleet suddenly split into three groups and rushed towards the three groups of horizontally formed groups.

But in the process, the more than [-] ships all emitted thick smoke and flames, and as time passed, the fire became more and more powerful.

This sudden and huge change immediately made everyone tremble with fear, and boundless fear began to permeate everyone's heart.

You must know that the three clusters are still in the chain of iron chains at this time, and it will take a lot of time to completely separate them.

And those fire boats, especially the fire boats heading towards the first and second clusters are only a few hundred steps away, and this distance passes in the blink of an eye.

There is no doubt that a huge disaster is rushing towards the Dashun fleet with lightning speed like a devil choking its throat.

At this moment, they realized that the five hundred warships were not defeated troops fleeing at all, but the enemy's killing move!

Li Guo regretted it very much, extremely regretful!He hated himself for trusting Li Laiheng too much, so he naturally let go of his guard;

He hated himself for being too careless, for not showing even the slightest bit of wariness and suspicion!

It's a pity that at this time, whether it's regret or self-blame, it's already too late.

"Immediately order all ships in the army to untie the chains! Immediately!"

Li Guo almost screamed out loudly, jumping and screaming. At this time, he can only hope that more ships can escape the huge catastrophe...

The fire was in full swing, and from time to time some figures on the fire boats jumped into the water with great vigor.

And as one fire ship fiercely collided with one ship after another, sparks all over the sky began to shoot out;

The endless fire spread at an extremely fast speed, and the iron chain connecting the boats was quickly burned red. Some soldiers tried to untie the iron chain, but their arms were burned;
Some soldiers beat the iron chain with a sword or even a sledgehammer, trying to break it, but how could they break it in a short time?

In the distance, more than half of the Eighth Squadron was damaged and fled, while the main force of Dashun's fleet was submerged in the endless sea of ​​flames.

The sound of desperate wailing and crying was endless, and as time passed, only about a thousand ships were lucky enough to escape the flames.

But the remaining [-] ships are already hopeless...

Li Guo didn't care about the smoky black marks on his face at all, his eyes filled with tears as he watched the ships being ruthlessly engulfed step by step by the sea of ​​flames.

Where is this a war!This is simply a heartless massacre!
Especially the 500 million horse infantry, which is the pillar of the Dashun Dynasty!
However, now, they are so aggrieved and desperate to die tragically!This is the tragedy of the Dashun Dynasty!This is the despair of the Dashun Dynasty!
Li Guo's eyes were completely dark, he even seemed to see the day of disaster for the Dashun Dynasty...

Gan Ning laughed excitedly, and with a wave of his hand, the Everlasting Fleet rushed to the last lucky ones amidst the exciting drumbeats...
