"Then should I get a reward?" Weng Ya heard that she had sunk the Mongolian Navy's flagship. Regardless of whether it was a real flagship or not, Hong Tao said that it might be basically real.

"What do you want? Don't ask me for money, don't mention gold, silver and jewelry. I'm a poor man now, and I'm not as high as your salary!" When Hong Tao heard that Weng Ya was going to give a reward, he immediately became alert. After ten years of equal distribution, the people of Jinhewan basically had no special requirements. Now that they have a salary, they immediately learned various ways to enjoy it. Things like gold, silver and jewelry, jewelry, jade, calligraphy, painting and folding fans are very good in Jinhewan. I don't know that they have so much money. Not only women want to be beautiful, but many men also dress up.

"I want my uncle's big black cat..." Weng Ya pointed to the captain's office.

"Isn't there a cat in Jinhe City? Why do you have to ask me for this one?" Hong Tao felt a little regretful. He forgot to count the picture in the range that he couldn't talk about, but the girl caught a loophole.

"Those cats are too cowardly. They run away when they see your big black cat. It's boring. I want something powerful!" Who plays with birds? The ancients really didn't deceive me! Weng Ya's reason is very simple, because the picture is powerful. Nonsense, this is a cougar. Even if it's still young, it's not a cat dares to mess with it.

"If you don't give it, this is the love thing given by your uncle's new wife. It's not that your uncle is stingy, but that your new aunt is stubborn. If I give it to you, it's like I don't want her. If she finds out, she will fight hard with a knife and change it, just change it!" Of course, the picture cannot be given to others. Indians are stubborn and they will not violate the vows they have made in their lifetime. This is their creed, whether it is father or son or husband and wife.

"Why do you always have a new wife to marry... Then you go and catch one for me!" Weng Ya didn't complain about her, a playboy uncle, and she still wanted to raise a little lion.

"After the battle, I have everything I won, but I have nothing I have defeated!" Hong Tao could not explain to Weng Ya that America was too far away from here, and now it is not the time to explain, so I had to go there perfunctorily.

"Tsk, what's the hard thing? They can defeat us? Put it in the Indian Ocean, without firing a cannon, the wind and waves will kill them. The right rudder is twenty, the course is 165. The starboard side is ready for shelling!" Weng Ya severely discriminated against the Mongolian navy's combat level, and she did not think that her fleet would lose.

Just as the main fleet began to turn for the third time, dense cannon sounds came from behind the Mongolian Navy. Kong Pei and Bo Jiao's attack fleet finally took the opportunity to be blocked by the Mongolian Navy. They also started attacking behind the last squadron. Compared with the seven armed cargo ships led by the Jinhe, pure warships are not at the same level of combat. The speed, steering ability and attack power of the Dragon Shark-level are more than one level higher. Their thin hulls were designed for combat. The fierceness of the two-layer 135 long-barrel cannon is incomparable to the 80mm deck cannon.

The two attack fleets were about one kilometer apart in the darkness, and followed firmly behind the Mongolian Navy, one on the left and the other on the right, and at the same time they drew a figure of 8. After the port bombardment was completed, they were beaten with the starboard cannon and the other on the right. The left and right cannons were fired once, and the Mongolian Navy's tail was gnawed off. Faced with the Jiaosha-class warships that were driving at high speed and constantly turning, the projectiles fired by the Mongolian mortar cannon are basically negligible. Even if they were hit by one shot, it would be fine. At most, a hole was smashed on the deck without any damage to any combat effectiveness.

However, once the Mongolian navy's warships were approached by these hungry wolves at the sea to fire within 200 meters, they would basically stop after being caught with a shell. The stern of the ship was the most fragile part of the entire sailboat, because there was a rudder there. Even if the shell did not cause much damage to the hull, it would be as good as a small sampan. This ship was abandoned. A sea boat that could not even control the direction was not as useful as a small sampan.

The strangle battle of head and tail was repeated and monotonous. The Mongolian navy was like a wild bison, no matter how it stopped it and dragged it back. It ignored it completely and stubbornly moved towards the original direction. Even the compatriots who fell into the water did not rescue them. As long as they were a little far away from the ship, they would give up. They rush forward with all their sails, and they were not appropriate to describe it as taking care of their heads and tails. It should be that they ignored the heads and tails.

An hour and a half later, when the sky was completely bright, Hong Tao issued an order to stop the attack. The main fleet and the two attack fleets broke away from contact with the enemy fleet, and slowly got together again, and still drove eastward with the Mongolian navy. It was not that Hong Tao didn't want to fight, but that the sailors were busy and it was time to have breakfast to change shifts.

This battle lasted for several days and could not exhaust all people. Moreover, Hong Tao's goal had been achieved. Not only did he effectively kill and injured more than ten Mongolian navy warships, but he also slowed down their advancement speed a lot. According to estimates, they should arrive at the easternmost end of the Shandong Peninsula in the early morning and then began to turn southeast. However, after following the stalking, it was dawn. They had not seen the smoke signal from the beacon tower in the easternmost part of the peninsula, and they probably had to walk thirty kilometers further forward.

Thirty kilometers, even if they can have an average speed of five knots, they have to walk for three hours. At that time, the Royal Fleet, which has eaten and drunk enough, will take advantage of their turn and rush up to take a few more bites. Anyway, they can't let them be idle. They don't want to bite all the way, but they want to work every time. Hong Tao wanted to see how patient the commander of the Mongolian Navy could be. As his ships decreased one by one, what choice would he make.

In fact, even if the commander of the Mongolian Navy was replaced by Hong Tao himself, he could not think of any good way to deal with the current situation. The slow ship speed means that it cannot approach the opponent and can only defend passively. The insufficient power and range of the artillery means that it cannot fight against the enemy at the same distance, and it cannot even pay back the fight. It cannot chase or fight, and even Nelson will have no choice but to fight this kind of battle.

The only way is to divide some ships into cannon fodder and force their fleet to far away. They do not seek any harm, but they seek to stay away from the main fleet and exchange space for time to allow the main fleet to continue to rush south. If the time drags long enough, if it encounters rain or foggy weather, Hong Tao really can't guarantee that he can find the fleet quickly on the sea. Then he can only go to the next stop and see if he can intercept the Mongolian navy going south at the estuary of the Yangtze River or somewhere. Then the Mongolian navy re-uses the same trick and then divides some warships to act as shields. After these two times, the remaining Mongolian navy may really rush across the Yangtze River and reach the hinterland of the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, this choice is risky and the losses are huge. No one knows how many ships are distributed and how much time they can get. Once there is a calculation error, the ships distributed may be eaten bit by bit. Whether the commander of the Mongolian Navy dares to bet with him like this is a big problem.

If the other party really dares, then Hong Tao is really helpless. The amount of ammunition brought on the warship is limited, and whether it is bronze cannons or cast iron cannons, the number of fires is limited. After continuous firing, the inside of the cannon is very hot. When the ammunition pack is put in, it will explode without ignition. It is not practical to use more than a dozen warships to eliminate more than 600 warships. Hong Tao is here to make trouble. As long as the Mongolian navy is messed up, they will be timid and timid, and then cause as much damage to them as possible, the initial goal will be achieved.

"Master, this will not be possible. Our fleet is slow, and the cannons are not as far as their range. They are completely in a passive state of being beaten. The opponent's commander has very rich combat experience, and the sailors are all old sailors. It can be seen from the fact that they are still in chaos when they turn again and again that these people are people who have been floating on the sea all year round, and they even spend more time on the sea than on land. The sea is their grassland, and the sea boats are their war horses. It is impossible to wait for them to make mistakes on their own initiative. If they are allowed to harass our fleet so easily, our sailors will be driven crazy in less than three or four days, and no one knows who the next sinking ship is. This feeling is very bad."

At this time, on the Mongolian Navy's agent flagship, Chagatai was sitting on the stern with his hair loose and naked. His flagship was sunk, but he was desperately killed. Several personal soldiers pulled a board on the ship, and then rescued him, temporarily returning to the flagship of the second team as his flagship. The commander of this team was a big cannibal with his head wrapped in white cloth, and he was also the chief instructor of the entire Mongolian Navy.

"Mohammed, do you have any way to help the empire overcome this difficulty? The empire cannot lose. As long as the empire soldiers can reach the land of the southern country, you will be hereditary ten thousand households after returning. I will let the Khan give you a fiefdom in your hometown, which will be under your family for generations." Chagatai was soaked in the sea once, and there was no more of the pride when he first set off. Compared with the sea, people seemed smaller than ants, and they were not determined at all. Courage could make up for it. However, this experience did not make him timid and panic, but calmed down. The suggestions of professionals were much more important in his eyes.

"...There is a solution, but I dare not say it..." Mohammed looked at the generals of all races on both sides, licked his lips and hesitated.

"Don't be afraid. As long as you help the empire overcome this difficulty, I will immediately become sworn brothers with you, and you are also the brother of the Khan. Who dares to disrespect the Khan's brothers, the Khan and I will not agree!" Chagatai understood Mohammed's mood. His method would definitely harm the interests of other Mongolian nobles, so he dared not say that he was afraid of being retaliated by those nobles afterwards. He was a foreigner who had no support in the empire and could not resist revenge from the high-level officials of the empire.
