Chapter 348: Unbelievable
This time, the Eternal Night Army Leader took the crowd tactics to the extreme, and all the water forces that could be mobilized were used.
Not only did the Eternal Night Army's navy use all of them, but even the crocodile people were all encouraged by them.
Along the way, there are constantly warships of crocodiles, large and small, joining the battle.
These small sampans and small fishing boats, the sea ships of the Cummins family, are usually not taken into account at all.
No matter how many there are, it will not be enough for them to charge and roll.
But the problem is that they are now in the mines, and they do not dare to deviate from the course at all, let alone roll at full speed.
The Eternal Night Leader and the Crocodile Alliance took full advantage of this and dragged them into the minefield as much as possible.
In the end, in addition to opening the way, the dragon wreck battleship had to come back in a roundabout way to relieve the siege of other warships.
If it doesn't, by the time it rushes back to Brother Port, it'll be left alone.
However, as a result, they return more slowly, and the Dragonwreck Battleship consumes energy faster.
Even so, there was still no way to completely prevent the fall of their own warship.
By the time Brother Harbor was in sight, the Dragonwreck Battleship was already scarred, and the energy shield loomed, almost nothing.
And the Cummins family warships that followed behind its ass were only five, and they still bore scars of varying degrees.
"Hell!
The Cummins family crew sailors, groaning of despair from top to bottom.
A combined naval force consisting of more than 50 assault warships and hundreds of crocodile miniature warships stopped at the final return of the Cummins family's Third Fleet.
Previously, when the Third Fleet of the Cummins family was chasing the main force of the Eternal Night Army, one of the Eternal Night Army's partial troops retreated to the Bashu River.
At that time, the Third Fleet did not look at each other at all, and now it itself has been disabled, and this partial army, which was not looked at by them at the beginning, has become an out-and-out obstacle.
There is no doubt that everything is in the calculations of the Eternal Night Commander, and where this partial army was scattered by the Third Fleet of the Cummins family, it was simply consciously left behind and blocked their back road.
But now it is useless to have such an understanding, the only thing they can do is to rush forward with their lives.
This time, the Third Fleet of the Cummins family, without the slightest hesitation from top to bottom, rushed forward at full speed.
Without the slightest hesitation, the charging ships of the Eternal Night Army rushed towards them.
More violent explosions sounded on the Danube.
These assault ships were all death squads filled with black powder.
When Akmaiser heard the news, he saw two Cummins warships, slowly sinking, and the Dragonwreck Battleship and the other three warships broke through the last blockade of the Eternal Night Warlord, with billowing smoke, and passed through the Brother Harbor without stopping, and left in a hurry.
Steubin didn't even have time to say hello to the Kingsleys, so he fled in a hurry.
Because he knew that the Eternal Night Commander would never give them any time to react, and they would immediately face their full pushback.
The situation in the swamp of despair has been reversed one hundred and eighty degrees.
Not to mention that there are only four heavily damaged sea ships left, and the most trusted dragon wreck battleship has run out of energy.
Even if Stubin completely brought out the second echelon, he would choose to withdraw from the Danube as soon as possible.
Don't forget that outside the Reaper Waterway, not only did they have the problem of folding six warships, but three of them were captured by the other side almost intact, and with a little trimming, they could be put into service.
Not to mention the encroachment along the way, which has multiplied this number several times.
It won't be long before the Eternal Night Army Leader will have an absolute advantage on the Danube River.
"What's going on?"
"How did this happen?"
"Why is this happening?"
Akmaiser asked three questions in a row.
Stubin led the Third Fleet of the Cummins family to chase the main force of the retreating army of the Eternal Night, and it was only half a day before and after the retreat, and the Kingsley family's eastern army had not yet completed the complete occupation of Brother Harbor - the black powder mines all over the city had not been cleared.
The situation is very different.
When pursuing, they were full of spirit and victory, and it seemed that the entire Danube River was their world, not to mention driving the Eternal Night Army back to their hometown, and it was even possible to eat their main force on the water.
Now it is a disgraced escape, and the mighty fleet is only three or two kittens left, as if there are countless vicious dogs behind them.
Akmesser had kindly reminded Stubin not to underestimate the Eternal Night Commander and to beware of a trap and ambush.
But this kind of reminder is just because of his character, in Akmaiser's subconscious, even if the Cummins family really falls into the trap, it will only be a loss of a few warships and a small loss, and it will be returned when the time comes, and it will not have any impact on the overall situation.
There are even benefits, when the time comes, their allies will settle down a little and will not cause any extraneous branches.
In the final analysis, it is because the Cummins family is too strong on the water, so strong that Akmesser also subconsciously gives birth to the illusion of indestructibility.
Now that the Third Fleet of the Cummins family had retreated so miserably, Axmeiser of course couldn't believe it with all his heart, and just stood in the harbor stupidly, looking at the river, expecting more Cummins family warships to withdraw, even if they were half withdrawn.
But what he was waiting for was not the Cummins family warship, but the building ship led by the Eternal Night Army and countless assault ships.
Although they were also scarred, two of the buildings were even rickety, on the verge of falling apart and sinking.
But it is completely different from the Cummins family battleship that fled in embarrassment before, it is a kind of bravery that exudes the smell of blood between the lips and teeth, and the Cummins family is a rout, this is the remnants of the pursuit.
The fleet of the Eternal Night Army made a short stay here, and the two badly damaged ships entered the northeastern port of Brother Harbor, which had not yet been built, for repairs.
And the two relatively intact building ships led a large number of assault warships, violently chasing the remnants of the Third Fleet of the Cummins family.
Half a day later, four Cummins family ships sailed out one after another, but what floated on it was no longer the skeletal dragon head flag of the Cummins family, but the highly recognizable white mountain and black water flag.
In the half-day water battle in which Akmaiser had not yet figured out the situation, the Third Fleet of the Cummins family was not only defeated, but completely defeated, and even the warships they were proud of were captured.
The Third Fleet of the Commins family was finished, completely planted on the Danube.
Akmaiser didn't want to admit it, but he had to face the reality.
At this moment, he only felt cold.
This kind of cold is not from the outside to the inside, but from the inside to the outside.
Axmater didn't care about how badly the Cummins family's Third Fleet had lost, but he knew exactly how badly the Kingsley family had been cheated by them.
The Kingsley family now has an army of more than 200,000 people, clustered inside and outside the city of Brother Harbor.
Without the sheer water power of the Cummins, they would have become rootless duckweeds and would have been trapped here alive.
Not only is the march into the Swamp of Despair an out-and-out joke, but it is more likely that the Swamp of Despair will become their grave.
"I was not defeated at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of my own allies. All that resounded in Akmaise's mind was this.
When he appeared in front of Grand Duke Buck with a deep foot and a shallow foot, the whole person's soul had not yet been recovered.
It wasn't until Archduke Buck slapped him that he came back to his senses completely.
Grand Duke Barker's eyes were full of doubts, and he said angrily: "What the hell is going on? The commander of the Tang and Tang armies, he is unexpectedly unwilling, are you like those stupid people with bad brains?"
After all, Akmaiser was a man with strong self-control, and after the initial shock and the rebuke of Archduke Buck, he recovered a little, and replied with a bitter expression: "That idiot Stubin has been defeated, and then we will fight alone." ”
"What do you mean? What do you mean that Stubin has been defeated? We're going to fight alone?" the puzzled look on Grand Duke Buck's face was even stronger, "Didn't they go after the rout led by the Eternal Night? Why did they suddenly lose?"
"I don't know exactly what happened, but just an hour ago, the Dragonroar, the flagship of the Third Fleet of the Cummins family, led three warships down the river through the harbor of Brother Port, and they were wounded to varying degrees. Akmesser did not directly dismiss his conclusions, but recounted the information he had witnessed.
"Impossible, how is it possible? Captain Stubin would not have been able to damage so badly even if he had ventured in and fallen into the trap of the Eternal Night Commander, how could the Eternal Night Commander and the Crocodile Clan have the strength to carry the Third Fleet? If there is, why have they waited until now to take it out? Something must have gone wrong, could it be that it was just the vanguard that had withdrawn to repair it? The army was in the rear?" Archduke Buck's reaction was exactly the same as that of Axmether.
That is, I can't believe it, they have won the hardest part, the rest of the Cummins family's third fleet, is a relatively simple rolling game, the entire desperate swamp, the Kingsley family will be at your fingertips, and from then on embark on a completely different path, his side has begun to prepare for the celebration dinner, why did it suddenly come to a 180-degree turn?
It made him disbelieve it and he didn't want to believe it.
Naturally, it was impossible for Akmesser to entertain him with such a thing, and he could only hope that the information was wrong.
Akmesser shook his head directly, shattering his last glimmer of hope and said: "Behind them is the retreating ship of the Eternal Night Army, just ten minutes ago, there were several Cummins family warships down the river, but the one hanging on it was not the skull dragon head flag, but the white mountain and black water flag!"
Although Akmeiser did not say it explicitly, the implication was that it was extremely clear that it was impossible for the Cummins family's warship to surrender, right?
There is only one possibility of this situation, that is, the Third Fleet of the Cummins family was not only defeated, but also defeated very miserably, and even their own warships were captured alive by others, and in a blink of an eye, they became the combat power of other people's families.
"How could this be? How could this be the case? They were defeated, what should we do?" said Archduke Bark, with his eyes straight, and he squatted in his chair.
His expression is not much better than when Akmesser first came in, and in terms of combat experience, he may not be as good as Akmerse, but the situation in front of him, as long as anyone who is a little smarter, will think of the consequences.
How much they had relied on the Cummins Third Fleet, and how bad the situation they faced was when it was a crushing defeat.
Now is not the time before the attack on Brother Port, even if it is a failure.
The Kingsley family's eastern army can also retreat to the west bank of the Danube River, and with its own military strength, tear a piece of flesh from the swamp of despair, and then retreat to the border line, keep it as it is, and then try to do something else.
But the problem is that they have now crossed the river, and the entire Far Eastern Army is on the eastern bank, and it is still at its peak.
The people of the army of more than 200,000 eat horses and chew, and the daily consumption is an extremely terrifying number.
Just thinking about the tragic situation they will face once the water transport line is cut off by the enemy makes people shudder.
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the harder you fall.
A moment ago, the Kingsley family had climbed the highest peak in history, ready to laugh at the world.
As a result, the next moment, there was a big avalanche, not only fell to the bottom of the mountain, but fell directly into the bottomless abyss, wanting to run out, wanting to save, for a while there was no way to start.
"All of them quit, give a gag order, this news, if anyone dares to leak half a point, they will not be spared, General Yada, please go outside and guard, don't let anyone approach. The third person present was the most calm, and immediately issued a clearance order and drove out all the surrounding guards.
This man was none other than Sir Kleist, who was thriving in front of Archduke Buck and Marshal Axmeiser.
The reason why he is so calm is not that his mind is stronger than that of Archduke Buck and Akmesser, but purely because he has been in the Kingsley family for too short, and his heart of gain and loss is not as big as the first two, so naturally he is not so easily taken by this news.
To be more precise, his worries about the future of the Kingsley family are not as serious as those of the two, and at most he will return to his previous kind of nothing, lift his ass and leave, and then change his allegiance.
Of course, this kind of thinking must not be revealed, otherwise the embarrassed and angry Grand Guild of Buck will chop him up first.
"Understood. Ada, Grand Duke Barker's personal bodyguard, glared at Ser Kleist, but did not retort.
Although he looked down on this fortunate jin, the other party's actions were also very overstepping, but in this case, it was handled properly, and even Akmesser just glanced at him lightly and did not stop him.
"Your Majesty, Marshal, our most important thing now should be to verify the authenticity of the news, judge the extent to which the situation has collapsed, and react as soon as possible. Sir Kleist then admonished.
"I've already sent someone to verify the news. Akmaiser knelt down on one knee and said, "Please also Your Majesty, set off immediately and return to the military command." ”
"Leave immediately, return to the military command?" Axmether's mind was still blank, and he didn't react for a moment.
"We have to prepare for the worst before the news returns. Akmaiser said with a solemn expression, "The reversal of the situation is inevitable, and what we are thinking about now is not how to plot the Swamp of Despair, but how to safely withdraw the Eastern Army to the west bank of the Danube River, and no matter how bad it is, we must ensure that most of the Eastern Army is withdrawn to the military territory, only in this way can we hope to plot other things." ”
