After one hour, accompanied by more than 20 Ventra Duchy ships strayed and fled to the Northwest, on the vast ocean battlefield, more than a dozen Xiao Family merchant ships also quickly rang out various cheers.

“Wansheng! My Xiao Family Wansheng!”

“Lu Guowansheng!”

“Damn white pig, we won, hahaha ~”

…………

In the one hour battle, the Xiao Family caravan really won, and the results were extremely brilliant. At first there were more than 50 Ventras. The duchy merchant ship attacked, only escaping more than 20 ships, and annihilated more than half of the enemy’s viable forces in one fell swoop. This is definitely a brilliant victory.

Of course, in the battle of the feudal era, a national-level army can not be defeated after being damaged by 20% or 30% in a battle, which is already regarded as the elite of the era.

In such an era, it is common for feudal troops to suffer casualties as soon as they flee in a large-scale rout.

Ventera Duchy’s naval fleet, damaged more than half of it before all escaped? No, you have to understand that this is a naval battle! In the naval battle, after some ships were beaten and lost their ability to sail, you just want to escape, but you can’t escape. Is it possible that all the sailors can jump into the sea and swim back?

At this moment on the sea, in the battlefield filled with gunpowder, there are more than 20 Ventera merchant ships, of which more than ten are flying the white flag and surrendered, and nearly ten have completely lost the ability to sail, like Floating in the sea like a fool, there is still a strong sinking situation. The two most serious ships have half of their hulls plunged into the sea, and there are many sailors around jumping into the sea.

The dozen or so ships flying the white flag all wanted to escape, but found that the ships were seriously damaged. Even if they escaped, they were too slow and too slow, they would be easily caught up by the Xiao Family merchant ship. Shen, only then hung the white flag and waited for fate to be sentenced.

In addition, the entire Ventra Duchy fleet, and five other ships have been completely sunk in the battle and sunk in the vast ocean.

For such a brilliant victory, the Xiao Family caravan was not without damage.

Xiao Family caravan has 15 ordinary armed merchant ships, one of which has been sunk into the ocean, three have lost the ability to sail, and seven have suffered injuries of varying degrees. This adds up to only The remaining 4 merchant ships are still intact.

However, in the Xiao Family caravan, the two battleships are almost in a new state. Not only the hulls were not damaged, but the people on the ships did not suffer many casualties. Again, the battleship and Armed merchant ship, one of the biggest differences is the thickness of the armor!

The armor thickness of battleship is far not comparable to that of ordinary merchant ships. Even if it’s a wooden battleship, you can take out hardwood armor that is more than one meter thick and bombarded by small artillery at close range. Cannonball.

On the flagship of Xiao Family, Xiao Jichen’s companions also cheered for several victories before rushing to Xiao Jichen’s side and said, “Second Young Master, even though we won, it’s a gratifying event. In this battle, the damage to our fleet was not small. Not to mention the ship that sank, the loss of cargo and personnel on one ship, and the loss of crew members even on other ships.”

The most distressed thing for a relative at this moment is the sinking merchant ship. After all, it was a ship of silk, porcelain and other goods, all gone.

In addition, the follow-up subsidy for the crew and sailors killed and injured in battle will also be a large number.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jichen, who was laughing loudly, just stunned. After a breath, he looked at the battlefield with a hundred li mirror and took a few breaths before he quickly said to the left and right, “Quick, In semaphore, we ordered two battleships to rescue the white-skinned pigs that fell into the water. Our losses this time will be made up by those guys.”

At a glance, there are still 13 ships on the battlefield. The Terra merchant ship is waiting for collection with a white flag. 8 ships have lost their sailing capabilities. These 21 captive ships have a large displacement of 200 tons and a small tens of tons. On a small boat, it is estimated that there are dozens of hundreds of white navy ships. Big ship three-four hundred?

Even so, estimate that this battle can capture more than two thousand prisoners of war. This is the spoils of war of Xiao Family.

These young and middle-aged white people, whether they are sold to the navy or gentry and nobles of other countries as slaves, or as slave soldiers, they are all a fortune.

Don’t forget, these are all year-round in the ocean. After a little training, they can all be used as naval fighters.

There are also 21 armed merchant ships. Even though the ships are small in size, there are still two sinking ships that cannot be rescued, but the others can be pulled by ropes or the like. Return to the port of Lu country to repair it and reuse it.

Dozens of tons, one to two hundred tons of merchant ship, if used for ocean navigation, of course it would be a bit ridiculous, but afterwards, regardless of whether it was sold to the small family of Lu for offshore navigation, it was still filled into Xiao Family The offshore business is also a good resource. More importantly, there are artillery on it!

Aside from the two ships that could not be rescued, 19 ships gathered together, there were hundreds of artillery pieces.

Xiao Family this time naval battle, the loss of cargo on a ship, and the compensation for casualties and sailors afterwards, all have to rely on these methods to recover.

After issuing his military order, Xiao Jichen shouted again, “Tell all ships to count the casualties. In this battle, I will receive five times the compensation for the victims of Xiao Family in all wars. The injured, Triple compensation! Others, after the count, we will discuss merits and rewards.”

Even if he does not know how many people were killed or injured in this battle, the general situation can be estimated, such as 15 armed merchant ships in the caravan. , Only 4 ships were still intact, 1 sunk, 3 lost navigation capability, 7 damaged to varying degrees… What kind of casualties do you think the flagship under his seat is?

Xiao Jichen’s flagship under his seat is more severely damaged.

But in the war until now, his ship has only killed more than a dozen artillery and sailors and injured more than 30 people. The ship is all at this level, and other minor injuries will make the situation clearer.

The one that sank does not mean that all the sailors are dead. Many people will jump into the sea before the shipwreck and wait for friendly forces to contain it.

There will be such a result, the biggest reason is that the two battleships, like Flood Dragons going out to sea, rushed in the battle, attracting more than half of the firepower of the Ventra Duchy navy, but those firepower is seriously lacking the threat of heavy artillery. , Not at all, how much casualties did the two battleships cause?

When the new military order was issued from the flagship, all the Xiao Family merchant ships rang out with cheers.

Soon, in the two battleships, the Ventera navy, in the ocean of busy bosses, was tied up and imprisoned. When the command of the many white-flag ships was gradually handed over, Xiao Jichen finally counted The numbers are also out.

In their battle, more than 200 artillerymen and sailors were killed and more than 400 wounded.

A glance at the numbers compares horrible to see, compare the gains? But the number of captured enemy troops was more than 2,000, and how many ships were sunk, that is, on the more than 20 ships that escaped, how many people were killed or injured?

This is definitely a big victory that Xiao Jichen can remember.

In ecstasy, Xiao Jichen ordered the fleet to return, many ships were damaged, and so many prisoners were taken. He went back to the homeland and returned to Lu. It was not too late to compile statistics and set sail again. After all, , They left Lu for only a few days, very fast.
