The Barudis army arrived late and gave Fang Xian, oh no, specifically Yu Yan had too much time. With Gruhart's rich combat experience, all possibilities, all coping methods, all the war losses that would occur and subsequent developments have been calculated.

Mardenad obediently avoided the first round of artillery fire of the Barudis army, and the two fleets retreated left and right.

In this era, it is difficult to start a large-scale war unless you have the advantage of absolute maneuver power or the enemy is forced to defend a place. After all, most artillery is placed on the flanks, and it is difficult to pursue if you want to bomb. If you want to pursue, you can only rely on the bow cannon to hit it twice without pain or itch.

With one blow, he declined again and died three times. Barudis plucked up his momentum and punched him in the air.

"Take St. John and defend the land to the death. No one can attack under the artillery fire of the Kingdom Navy!!" Barus obviously expected this result. Although he felt something strange in his heart, he had no choice. As the commander, even if he ordered his men to die, he would be absolutely firm.

Soon, the Barudis army warships entered the Port of St. John, lined up, and they were confident that they would cover the firepower network to the fan-shaped range outside the port. A small wave of sailors occupied the port fortifications, implemented the commander's strategic deployment, and defended the land. After all, they were the Spanish navy, and in this way, the number of muzzles exceeded a thousand gates. At this level, even the extremely arrogant Paxia army or the British navy in the Mediterranean would frown.

"Let you know what real firepower is." Barudis narrowed his eyes and looked at the dense fleet approaching, at least he was extremely firm in his heart.

Mardenad and Esconte remained outside the range of the artillery. They no longer advanced, but just spread the ships, like fishing nets.

"Did you see it?" Barudis smiled disdainfully, "although these weak children are crazy, they still do not have the courage to provoke their father's authority."

Every time Barudis is proud, the lookout will hear good news.

"Secretary……Commander!

"..." Barudis was already cursing him without any intention, "I swear. This is your last day as a sentinel to serve as a flagship."

"But... Commander... the opponent's fleet is far outside the firepower range...it begins to open up the formation..."

"Hmph, full of momentum, are you afraid after all?"

"No, no. Their formation is an artillery formation and should be aiming at us..."

"Just!" Barudis had to pick up the cylindrical telescope again, waited and watched for a short time, and frowned.

He was greeted by dense muzzles. This distance looked like an ant standing in a huge square array. The number was indescribable. The extremely regular and dense made people feel a little dizzy.

Barudis swallowed and spitted: "This is crazy... twice the number of ship-based artillery in our army...the size of warships is also better than our army."

"Commander...they asked our army to surrender...Barus was silent. He was not a reckless man. As the commander of the king of a country, he knew how to measure combat power and had the ability to arm the fleet of artillery of this large number of artillery, and his shells would definitely not be checked, plus this neat formation. Each fleet seemed to have allocated a range of firepower, and obviously had an extremely outstanding artillery guide.

The firepower of these two fleets alone can be at least equal to the firepower of the two Navy fleets, plus the two strange "iron bumps" next to them, as well as the support of Escont and Maldonard.

Barudis knew clearly that there was almost no hope of victory in this battle.

The struggle between dignity and reason lasted for more than ten seconds.

In the end, Barudis chose luck.

Maybe the enemy's shells were not re-aggregated? Maybe the art of these Orientals fired very mediocre? The navy waited for the effort and refused to accept the port. When the enemy attacked, they had the advantage of shooting in the first round. Perhaps that round could sink half of the enemy's warships?

Barudis chose to remain silent and refused to respond to the surrender of the Fang family's navy.

As usual, the Fang family navy launched the first round of cover shelling after 30 seconds.

With the roar of the entire sea, Barudis showed almost the same expression as Espinoza at that time. Although the two people's personalities and beliefs were very different, their reactions were surprisingly consistent when facing this shock.

This bombardment distance and accuracy are unprecedented.

The platoon was fired, and even the battleship fleet of the Fang family navy was swept far away by its own recoil.

This round of artillery gave Gruhart a long time to aim, and the retracted formation of the Barus Army can be said to have exerted the power of the artillery to the extreme.

Before the shell was launched, Gruhart had already reported to Fang Xian: "Admiral, this battle has been won."

"...Ge's big mouth, so crazy." Fang Xian smiled, "But your expression doesn't look like you win?"

Gruhart sighed: "From the quality of the military, Barudis is a very outstanding commander. I am ashamed to defeat him in this way."

Fang Xian stood up and looked at the other party's formation from a distance, and instantly understood Gruhart's sorrow: "The formation is too dense, so I'm looking for death."

"Well, I believe Barus wanted to use dense formations to maximize the concentration of firepower, take the initiative in defense and not give people a chance to react. This is a sign of extreme confidence. Unfortunately..."

"It's a pity that he doesn't know our range."

"Yes, such victory is contrary to honor," sighed Gruhart.

"Honor? This word is outdated. You are not a knight or a soldier, right?"

Gruhart was silent, indeed, he was just a deputy admiral who was employed by the private party.

"Admiral, can I allow a reluctance to ask?"

"I understand, let it go." Fang Xian agreed happily, "I have no interest in the life of a person."

"Thanks."

About 20 seconds after the conversation ended, St. John was already a purgatory on earth outside the port.

Although the Spanish Navy is an invincible army, invincible and has countless great achievements, it is still so fragile when facing almost the next era's firepower.

None of the 9 large Spanish sailboats were spared. Almost every ship was shot with more than three shells. Some were directly tilted and silent, some were burned in a raging fire, and some were broken into several knots...

Only the flagship where Barudis is located is safe and sound, and even no shell fell within a hundred meters around the flagship, just like the protection circle drawn by Sun Wukong for Tang Seng. It is accurate and safe.

Barudis could no longer speak. He closed his eyes and did not look at the silent warships. He covered his ears and did not listen to the sailors' wailing.

Facing this scene, even Maldonard and Esconte, who were in the distance, felt a deep tingling feeling in their hearts.

For the sake of their interests and power, they chose to break with the navy and the kingdom.

But the blood of the Spaniards was still flowing on them. They could not imagine that the invincible army of the kingdom had been destroyed in such a way within dozens of seconds.

Both "traitors" took off their hats and lowered their heads to observe silent observation.

The Fang family navy did not fire the cannon again, nor did he surrender again, but silently drove towards St. John in a medium speed.

No more need to do anything, the winner is decided.

The Barudis flagship was silent, and no one was eager to fight to the death. No one planned to escape.

For them, this is an insult, an insult that cannot be resisted. Some people even begin to hate themselves, why are they still alive?

Obviously, the Fang family navy deliberately avoided bombing its own flagship. The accuracy of the other party's artillery has reached an unimaginable level. If they wanted to, the flagship had been silent countless times.

The flagship of Barus is like a child who is teased by martial arts masters, and he has no motivation again.

Despair is sometimes more terrible than death.

At some point, a sailor began to sob.

Then more and more sailors shed tears, and some even cried loudly, and the sad atmosphere spread.

This was the collapse of the Spanish Navy and the collapse of the kingdom colonization. They were "fortunate" to stand on the front line and personally participated in this collapse. The honor and dignity over the years were destroyed. How much they hoped that they would die.

"Living." Barudis, who had been isolated from the outside world, suddenly spoke. He suddenly shouted, "Living!"

The commander's cry finally dispelled some sad atmosphere.

Barudis pointed to the Fang family naval master not far away and shouted: "He can survive, why can't we?!"

Between Barudis's eyebrows, the soldiers seemed to see a glimmer of hope again.

No matter how powerful the Fang family navy is now, at least not long ago, the Eastern country was still surviving and bullying.

"Failure is not scary." Barudis, who has always been tough and decisive, actually said such words. He took off his hat, turned around, and bowed to the sailors of the ship, "This is my failure, it has nothing to do with you. It is my failure in intelligence, strategy and wisdom. You have tried your best. Please live."

"commander……!"

The sailors in the ship were boiling again.

Then, Barudis took off his medal of honor on his shoulder, took off his military uniform and coat, slumped it on the ground with a certificate, placed the military cap and common neatly on it, and saluted a military salute.

Just when the others were not aware of it, Barudis had already stepped on the bow and threw himself into the arms of the sea without any pause.

After a brief shock, the sailors of the ship were silent.

Almost at the same time, they did the exact same move as Barudis.

About a minute later, only 132 military uniforms and swords were left on the ship.

Gruhart kept watching the ship's situation. Facing this scene, he felt deeply moved and gave a military salute from afar.

Fang Xian also came over and took a look at the glasses, and then became happy.

Gruhart angrily said, "Admiral, after all, I was a soldier. Please maintain the minimum respect!"

"Haha..." Fang Xian covered his stomach and smiled, "When jumping into the sea in that kind of place, do you teach me how to die? If you hit the reef and fall to death or drown?"

"This..." Gruhart also slapped his head and laughed awkwardly, "They don't think so much..."

"Don't be stupid." Fang Xian said, "I really want to wipe my neck and cut my stomach. I jumped into the sea next to the port to make a show... Welcome to your support, which is my greatest motivation.)

,please.
