"Yes, the Second Elder has the advantage now."
"Although the enemy's attack capabilities are strong, we outnumber them; we can wear them down."
"That's right. With such powerful weapons, they probably don't have much ammunition. Once we run out of their ammunition, it will be our turn."
"That makes sense. We might even be able to capture some weapons and equipment. If we obtain these weapons and develop them, then the Moses Empire will truly be invincible."
The others nodded in agreement, saying that other things weren't scary; the real fear was becoming the second person to take the blame—that would be embarrassing.
Upon hearing this, Yize nodded slightly; that made sense.
Although we don't know what kind of weapon the other side is, since they are so powerful, they must have a lot of stuff. Otherwise, the Great Liang Empire wouldn't have persisted like this and would have attacked long ago.
Moreover, although the enemy warship was not small, it also carried a large number of people; otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to have carried so many weapons and equipment.
It should be over after a few rounds. If I can just hold on for a while, I should have a chance to survive.
Thinking this through, he said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, then let's order a counterattack. We must suppress this arrogant attitude of the enemy, otherwise we'll be completely wiped out."
"Yes!" The generals nodded. They had no other choice but to grit their teeth and go for it.
After surveying the battlefield, Yize came to a conclusion and solemnly stated, "Once a warship is hit, immediately order it to ram the enemy's warship. At the very least, we can take them down with us. With this shift in power, the enemy will naturally not dare to be so arrogant."
That's right, it's a suicide attack, turning your warship into the enemy's warship. Even if you suffer some losses, it's worth it.
"Good!"
No one dared to be negligent, and they quickly ordered a counterattack, and in an instant, a deluge of stones rained down on the enemy.
Although they lacked Red-Coat Cannon, they still possessed catapults, which, while insufficient in range, could still prevent the enemy from approaching. Meanwhile, some damaged warships, upon receiving orders, rammed directly into the warships of the Great Liang Empire without hesitation.
Unfortunately, they were struck by a barrage of rocks halfway there and sank into the ocean.
Rumble!
To their despair, the wind turbines on the Great Liang Empire's side never stopped, as if the artillery shells were endless. This made Yize and his men's faces extremely grim; this was not what they had imagined.
He frowned and said, "How could this be? The enemy's shells seem endless. Could it be that they've only brought shells and not many men?"
The bombing was relentless. Watching his warships sink one by one, his heart bled. These were the very foundation of the Moses Empire; if they were all lost here, they could forget about ever venturing outwards again.
Asam glanced into the distance, his face darkening. "It's probably unrealistic to think we can deplete their ammunition. Look at that spot."
He pointed to a corner of the ocean, where a fleet of merchant ships sailed straight into the Great Liang warships, carrying many people who appeared to be unloading something.
"This is a supply ship!"
Upon seeing this, everyone's faces turned deathly pale.
The enemy actually has logistics; they're recklessly transporting supplies over here. This is a huge problem. If they're well-prepared, our side could be completely annihilated.
Just then, a huge commotion came from behind, a roar they had never heard before, making them involuntarily look back.
"Damn it, the enemy is catching up!"
The crowd's expressions instantly turned grim; the people behind them had actually caught up, meaning their attempt to cover the retreat had failed.
Now that someone is blocking our way ahead and there are pursuers behind, this is simply adding insult to injury.
Abide Xisi exclaimed, "How is this possible? How can the enemy's warships be moving so fast? This is absolutely beyond human capability; it defies all logic!"
This is so strange, it's completely incomprehensible.
Grunt!
The group of soldiers couldn't help but swallow hard. The situation before them gave them an overwhelming sense of pressure, making them feel that they probably couldn't stop the enemy.
The opponent's speed is simply outrageous and unimaginable.
Even if their own warships had wings, they couldn't travel that fast. Now they're using them to hunt down their own people; there's absolutely no way they can escape.
Yize roared and said in a deep voice, "They've really gone too far. Since we can't leave, let's get closer to the small island ahead and fight them there. The Great Liang may be strong, but I refuse to believe they've grown hair."
This is outrageous! They chased after me and attacked me after I ran away. It's utterly unsportsmanlike.
Everyone frowned slightly upon hearing this, but no one objected. After all, it was a last resort. If they couldn't defeat the enemy at sea, they would naturally have to fight closer to land, thus diminishing the enemy's advantage.
Forehead!
At this moment, Asam hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Second Elder, what if the enemy who lands takes our warship away and leaves us on that island?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned; this was indeed a problem.
If the enemy sails away, won't we be stuck on that island forever? We might starve to death there.
"We can't worry about that now. The enemy's warships are too strong, and the enemy is chasing us from behind. If we don't want to be caught in a pincer movement, we should leave." Yize shook his head. This was indeed a very tricky problem.
But the key issue now is that we are even less able to defeat them at sea. If we don't take this gamble, things will only get worse, and all these people will be killed in vain.
Meanwhile, the armored warships behind them drew ever closer, and to their stunned gaze, these specially made armored warships rammed straight into their ship.
"What does this mean? Is he trying to commit suicide?" Yize's pupils contracted as he looked towards the point of impact. Was the other person also going to risk their life to save him?
Boom!
The violent impact reverberated across most of the ocean. To their astonishment, the Moses Empire's warship was torn in two, while the Great Liang Empire's warship remained completely undamaged and continued on its way.
"This..."
Yize was speechless. The other side actually had such a warship; it was simply terrifying. This thing was directly ramming the ship!
With its speed, who can dodge it, and who can stop it?
