Chapter 344: Take the long term
Stubin didn't expect that there would be such a stupid captain in his fleet, and his first battleship that was destroyed was not because of the opponent's tactics, but because of the captain's stupidity.
In this situation, rushing over is the most correct choice, as long as they dodge them over, it will be difficult for them to turn around and catch up with the fleet of the Cummins family for a while.
Any hesitation and entanglement will cause more damage to your own battleship.
Under Stubbin's roar, the other warships of the Cummins family fleet did not make the same mistake again, or were about to make it, and adjusted stiffly.
"Dodge a fart, run over, roll over. Stubin roared wildly.
The dragon wreck battleship did not dodge or dodge, and at full power, rushed towards the charging warship that rushed towards him.
Click!
The dragon head of the dragon wreck battleship, like a huge razor, directly pressed all the halves of the charging clipper that was rushing towards it directly into the water, and waited for it to pass for more than ten seconds before two explosions came from behind it.
Many of the other charging clippers that rushed at it had already passed by before they could explode, and in this case, the soldiers of the eternal night who were determined to die would not be stupid enough to blow themselves up again.
The other ships of the Cummins family, though not as decisive and ferocious, were better at following orders, and the situation was similar to that of the Dragonwreck.
With its super speed, it hedged by, and did not give the Eternal Night Army leader a chance to react to the charging warship, and if it was detonated at the bow of the battleship, the explosion effect would be mostly unsatisfactory.
Because the bow position is the strongest place for these large sea ships, they usually use it to hit others, and this kind of indirect contact explosion is difficult to cause a devastating impact on them.
After a series of entanglements, the Eternal Night Leader detonated twelve suicide assault ships in front of and behind.
On the Cummins family's side, except for the first captain who made a fool of himself and sent a shipload of people to a dead end, none of the seventeen remaining battleships in the Cummins family's fleet were seriously injured, only five were slightly injured, and there was a certain degree of water leakage.
For these sea-going ships that have been adrift on the sea all year round and have seen strong winds and waves, this injury is nothing at all, and the ship's craftsmen can hurry up and repair it, and it will not affect their battle in the slightest.
The battleship that had the greatest impact on the back was the one that died stupidly first, just half-across the river, blocking a section of the water that was not very wide and most suitable for the Cummins family's sea-going ships, and had to slow down and detour, and two of the five battleships that were damaged were injured in the process by the charging warships of the Eternal Night Army.
The Eternal Night Leader didn't expect to take out the Cummins fleets so easily, if it was that easy?
Why did the Eternal Night Warlord go to such lengths to build so many Sky Catapults in Brother Harbor?
The situation just now is the best proof of this.
This is still a hedging situation, if it is replaced by chasing.
With the Cummins family ships in front and the Eternal Night Army's assault ships behind, it will be an out-and-out target.
However, the delaying effect of the Eternal Night Army leading the charging warship still worked, and just as the two sides were entangled, the troop carrier led by the Eternal Night Army ran away non-stop.
"Chase, chase me, I can't let them run away, I want them all to bury my battleship. Stubin said with red eyes and rage.
"Captain, do you want to wait?" Bray, the vice-captain of the Dragonwreck Battleship, cautiously suggested.
"Wait for what?" said Stubin glared at his lieutenant with red eyes and a knife, as if he hadn't given a reasonable reason, he would have slashed him with a knife.
Deputy Captain Bray still stubbornly fulfilled his duty of advice and said: "Wait a minute, General Akmeiser's side, our strength is a little weak on our own, if there is a small warship of the Kingsley family in front, the tragedy just now will not happen......"
"You mean, I caused the tragedy just now?" the anger on Stubbin's face became even more obvious, and he was about to burst out uncontrollably.
"Of course I didn't mean that. Vice Captain Bry hurriedly denied, "I mean, we're already in the driver's seat, so why bother doing it?"
"Hey, what Lao Tzu wants is not a sure victory, but a brilliant victory, a brilliant victory, you understand?" Stubin roared, "Now is the time to prove our worth, the stronger we show, the more the Kingsley family will not dare to go back easily, if we don't show a little value, do you really think that old fox of Buck will honestly fulfill the contract? Stupid, you don't understand anything!"
"But......" Vice Captain Bray opened his mouth to refute, but he couldn't think of a reason to refute for a while.
Stubbin's theory sounded flawless, but he always felt that there was something wrong with it, and from what he knew about Stubbin, his current crazy rush was not only because of this high-sounding reason, but also because of his bloodthirsty and manic personality.
The name of Stubin "Mad Shark", the captain of the Third Fleet of the Cummins family, is not famous here, but on the entire West Coast, it is famous, and once he bites it, he will not give up until he tears off a piece of meat, even if his own forces do not have an advantage.
It was with this madness that he stood out in the Third Fleet of the Cummins family.
From an unappreciated side branch and a brig captain, he fought his way out of the bloody road to his current position.
They are a group of sharks, trapped in the shallow bay of the Swamp of Despair for too long, with an evil fire in their hearts, and now that they see the smell of blood, they naturally bite it.
Especially since the Eternal Night Warlord had just blown up and sunk one of their warships, it had stabbed the hornet's nest and kicked Stubin in the heart.
Their Third Fleet came all the way from the west coast, but the strong winds and waves failed to sink a ship, and in the first round of the confrontation with the other party, they were dismounted and sunk by a blow up.
How did this make the arrogant Stubin accept?
Blood debts can only be paid with blood.
Stubin was biting the Eternal Night Commander at first, but he simply didn't want to miss the plane, but now he has a more personal reason.
"What are you waiting for, warriors of the Third Fleet, give me full steam and knock them out. Stubin raised his arms and shouted.
This time, he used the power of the Dragonwreck battleship, and the sound was transmitted not only to the ears of the captains of the other battleships, but also to the ears of the other crew members.
"Huh!" there was a chorus of echoes and shouts from the battleship, full of excitement and tyranny.
It's not that the Dragonwreck Battleship has magical powers like Golden Armor that can affect their minds, but they themselves.
It is not very accurate to describe the Cummins family as a pirate family, but to describe the Third Fleet as a pirate fleet is to say that it is literally true, they crisscross the sea, they say it is trade, but in fact it is plunder, and the sea people on those islands are their flock of sheep in captivity.
As the cheers from above the Cummins fleet rang out, it seemed that the entire fleet was much faster, and they were getting closer and closer to the Eternal Night Command's ship, which made them even more excited.
The images of those buildings shattering and sinking in front of their warships seemed to have appeared in their minds.
As long as they catch up with them, it will be their end.
No one doubted this, neither the Cummins nor the Eternal Night.
If you catch up, the Death Aper's Waterway, which is like the Demon's Giant Mouth, is already close at hand.
The Reaper Waterway and the Water Channel of Brother Port are only 15.3 kilometers.
Downstream, the Eternal Night Army's Mansion takes twenty-five minutes, and it doesn't take twice as long against the current.
"Stop them, stop them, and never let them into the waterways. "Stubin obviously knows that the last few kilometres are their last chance.
Once the ship led by the Eternal Night Army entered the Death Channel, they had no way to chase it.
Even if the water is deep enough for a sea vessel to sail, it cannot be entered.
Because the Death Aquarium is too narrow for them, once inside, it is difficult to turn around.
After getting close enough to see the situation outside the Death Aquarie, Stubin couldn't suppress a wild laugh, "Haha...... They're killing themselves. ”
Due to the terrain, the Reaper waterway is very narrow, and the water level is still very turbulent even though it has dropped significantly.
After gushing out of the waterway, it eased up a lot.
In other words, the width of the water surface of the Danube is about three times that of the Grim Reaper.
In the chase of the Cummins family like a duck, the Eternal Night Army led more than 100 large and small transport merchant ships and assault warships, including the three building ships.
Only a small part of it made it into the Grim Reaper Waterway, and now the big head is blocked outside the Death's Waterway.
Faced with this situation, how could Stubin not be ecstatic, and shouted, "Rush up, rush all up, and sink them." ”
Facing the fleet of the Cummins family that pressed up on the whole line, Sean, who was standing on the top floor of the Rock, had a tense face, but at this moment he showed a smile and said: "The fish has not decoupled, it has been aggrieved for so long, it is our turn to fight back, beat the drums, and attack." ”
Knock! Knock!
The sound of a single war drum is not terrible, but when dozens or even hundreds of war drums are beaten at the same time, it is a little scary.
In particular, the drums of war come not only from the surface of the river, but also from the top of the mountain.
In the earth-shattering war drums, there is also the sound of machinery running, rope swinging, and boulders breaking through the air.
The sound of war drums could not completely cover them, which shows how loud their voices were.
Forty or fifty heavy black powder kegs of hundreds of kilograms rose from the cliffs on both sides of the Death Waterway, crossed a distance of hundreds of meters, and smashed fiercely into the fleet of the Cummins family, which was frantically rushing towards the Eternal Night Army.
Boom! Boom!
A loud landslide resounded around the Cummins family fleet.
The waves are splashing, and they are more than ten meters high.
There was a Cummins family warship that was unlucky and was bombed.
A black powder keg shell, smashed directly on the deck.
That kind of tragic scene is not comparable to the boulder at all.
The solid deck, which was tens of centimeters thick, was blown to pieces on the spot, revealing the internal structure of the battleship.
Even if these decks are not easily deformed and damaged even under the blows of wind and sun and huge waves, how good can those sailors and crews composed of flesh and blood be?
Most of them were turned into fragments and flew to the Danube to feed the fish.
Although this unfortunate Cummins family battleship was not sunk on the spot, the entire bow position of the ship has been caught in raging fire, and it will be difficult to extinguish it for a while and a half.
Although the other warships were not so unlucky, many black powder kegs exploded very close to them, and they were swept away by the aftermath of the explosion, which also made them involuntarily sway, as if they were caught in a storm.
"Catapults, giant catapults, they installed giant catapults on top of the mountain, we should have thought of it a long time ago. ”
"The wrath of the mountain god, this is the wrath of their mountain god, it can't be hit by them, dodge, hurry up and dodge!"
"Sea Dragon 5 was hit, Sea Dragon 5 was hit and could not continue sailing, could not continue sailing. ”
"Hell, the Sea Dragon Five is in our fairway, avoid, hurry up. ”
"There's no way to avoid it completely, we were following too closely before, and there's no way to avoid it completely. ”
"Damn, Sea Dragon 5 abandoned ship, Sea Dragon 5 abandoned ship, we can't avoid it, we have to hit, we have to hit, we can't care so much, just rush over. ”
Click!
The Cummins family battleship, which had been hit by a black powder keg bomb, was hit in the head by the friendly warship that was closely following its ass.
Although it was not a direct hit from the impact angle, the impactor had slowed down as much as possible.
But when two behemoths with a displacement of 100 tons collide, the scene will definitely not be too good-looking.
Timber bursts and people fly, that's normal.
As long as there is no irreparable damage below the water line, it is within the acceptable range.
"Trap, it's a trap, retreat, retreat. ”
"You can't retreat, you can't retreat at this time, rush forward, rush forward for me, even if you retreat, you have to wait until you crush them before retreating. ”
"That's right, you can't retreat at this time, if you want to live, you have to rush forward. ”
"Listen to the captain. Whatever the captain says, let's do it, and we must not mess around. ”
The chatter of the captains of the Cummins family echoed in Stubbin's ears, and he was furious.
Vice Captain Bray's mind was dizzy, and at this moment he suddenly thought of the problem in Stubbin's previous rebuttal to him.
The starting point of all Stubin was to stand in the situation of the Cummins family fleet crushing the Eternal Night Lord, and he did not consider at all what if the Eternal Night Commander had the ability to launch a counterattack and reverse the situation on the water?
No matter how you look at the situation in front of you, there is a smell of traps.
The army led by the Eternal Night did not retreat sooner or later, but did not retreat until the Kingsley army's army was about to pull out the giant trebuchets along the river, and the fleet of the Cummins family could rush over, and then they hurriedly retreated.
The Eternal Night Commander has been controlling this place for many years, so he doesn't know the unique terrain here, and he doesn't know that this place is prone to water traffic jams, so he will make such a low-level mistake?
Until the other party launches a counterattack, they can still have this kind of luck.
But when the other party's cloud catapult installed on the top of the hill roared, they could no longer deceive themselves.
From beginning to end, the Eternal Night Commander was fishing, using the heavy bait of the retreating main force to catch the big fish of the Third Fleet of the Cummins family.
Fishing all day long, but being bitten by fish.
The more Vice Captain Bray thought about it, the more he felt that what he said made sense, and said in a loud voice: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly, we can't continue to rush forward, maybe there are bigger traps waiting for us ahead." ”
But what kind of trap the Eternal Night Leader had prepared, Bree couldn't think of for a while.
They really don't know much about the Eternal Night Leader, and the lack of information is also a big mistake for them.
Previously, when he was attacked by the suicide charge warship of the Eternal Night Commander, he should have resolutely carried out his duty of admonishment to the deputy captain as soon as possible.
That kind of suicide warship attack is no longer a conventional tactic, and it should be a wake-up call for him.
But there are no ifs and regrets in this world, and if you miss it, you miss it.
So this time he didn't want to be wrong again and again.
Stubin just glanced at the vice-captain, ignoring his suggestion at all, and waved his command knife heavily, "Rush, continue to rush for me, and completely disperse them." ”
