Chapter 731: Victory in the First Battle
"Your Majesty, withdraw, the Izumo, the Revenge and the Queen can't be saved, their biggest advantage has now become the biggest disadvantage, and now they can't turn around at all, and the enemy won't give us a chance to turn around, but there is still hope for the warships behind, as long as Your Majesty is safe and sound, we still have a chance to regroup, if Your Majesty falls here, our East China Sea Kingdom will be completely finished." Gordon, the captain of the King's Guard of the East China Sea, tried hard to persuade Stubbin.
"Three Dreadnoughts, how many Dreadnoughts-class ships do we have?"
Captain Gordon said the truth, Stubin didn't know.
When he saw the first wave of the Eternal Night Leader's incomparably sharp counterattack, Stubin knew that the three dreadnoughts-class galleons could not be saved.
Because of his own misjudgment again, he thought that the three dreadnought-class galleons were invincible here, and stuffed them into the mouth of the Eternal Night Commander.
The successive shelling of the Eternal Night Army also confirmed this.
The accuracy of the enemy's artillery fire was far superior to that of their ship-borne ballistas.
But with the exception of the first three rounds of shelling, which fell directly on the Izumo, most of the others blossomed in the periphery, especially the Black Domain Shells, which were able to envelop the three Dreadnought-class schooners in the Black Domain without damaging them hard.
The reason why it's so troublesome.
There is only one purpose.
Want to trap them, capture them relatively intact, and turn them into your own combat power.
More precisely, they already regard these three dreadnought-class sailing ships as their own.
It's one thing to know, it's another to make a decision.
This is a dreadnought-class sailing ship.
Three dreadnought-class sailboats.
There are only five Dreadnought-class sailing ships in the entire East China Sea Fleet.
Although the dreadnought-class galleons are not replicable like the Dragonwreck warships, the East China Sea Kingdom itself has complete construction technology.
But the difficulty of construction is not ordinarily high.
It takes as long as ten years for a dreadnought-class sailing ship to be built from the beginning of the plan to the final formation and launch, which refers to the premise of sufficient financial resources.
If the financial resources are insufficient, the construction time will be multiplied.
It is not uncommon for some to even run aground in the middle of construction, change hands several times, or simply pile up in the shipyard harbor and let it rot there, because of the financial problems of the builders.
It is no exaggeration to say that every dreadnought-class warship, whether it is a schooner or a schooner, has gone through hardships before it can be successfully built.
Take, for example, the three Dreadnought-class sailboats in front of you.
HMS Queen, built thirteen years ago.
The Revenge took fifteen years to build.
The Izumo, who had been in the shipyard for eighteen years, had three owners before it was launched, and the builders changed four or five times before it was finally formed in the hands of Stubbin.
They are a little bit of money that the Third Fleet has spent hundreds of years accumulating.
How can you say give up and give up?
This is digging three pieces of meat directly from Stubbin's heart, why don't you scratch his liver and lungs in distress?
And that's not even the scariest of all.
What scared Stubin the most was that if these three dreadnought-class battleships fell into the hands of the Eternal Night Commander, they would be equipped with the same magic cannons as they had just been.
Do they still have a way to survive in the East China Sea?
"Your Majesty, give up what you should give up, otherwise our losses will be greater, at least on the sea, we still have a numerical advantage at all, and we can't show it here at all." Captain Gordon pleaded again.
"I'm sorry ancestors, I'm a sinner of the Cummins family. Stubin spat out a mouthful of blood and howled like a wounded beast, his eyes turning red, "Give the order to abandon the Izumo, the Revenge, and the Queen, and destroy it as much as possible before doing so, scuttling through the bottom of the ship, cutting off the masts, and setting fire to the ship, even if I can't take them with me, and never leave them to the Eternal Night." ”
Pushed into a corner, Stubbin's ferocious side of the pirates broke out completely.
Even if these ships are completely damaged, they must not be left to the Eternal Night Commander to turn against them, as they did last time.
"Passing on the order of His Majesty the Shipper, the Izumo, the Revenge and the Queen were sunk. ”
"The Revenge can't be saved, what are you waiting for? Let's run for our lives? It's too late to even have a chance to escape. ”
"Run, Your Majesty has ordered the ship to be abandoned, and not to stand in our way. ”
"Your Majesty is telling you to blow up the warships before escaping, and no one can leave until then, otherwise these warships will be used by the Eternal Night to attack us. ”
"Blowing up the battleship and then running for your life, that's a nice word, how can you escape when the time comes? You don't want to die, we still want to die, you want to be loyal to Your Majesty, we won't stop you, but don't drag us to die together, dodge, if you don't dodge again, don't blame us for being polite." ”
"Those who disobey His Majesty's orders, behead!"
"This bastard wants us to give the cloud number to accompany the funeral, brothers, what are you waiting for? Rush out!
"Your Majesty has already run away, don't be stupid here, it's important to escape!"
"Oh no, no, the infantry led by the Eternal Night Army has already come up in the dark, run away!"
"You can't escape, they don't have many of them, so stop them with me. ”
"The first guard seized the powder magazine, the second guard went to the bottom of the ship, and the third guard guarded the mast and sails with me, and they must not be allowed to destroy the battleship too badly, and from now on, this is our property. ”
"As long as we don't destroy the battleship, we can let you live. ”
"Disarm or kill!"
Stubbin's order is not evil, but when it is passed down below, it is really difficult to say how much execution will be left.
The sudden and fierce artillery bombardment of the Eternal Night Army leader not only shocked Stubbin's mind, but the other East China Sea soldiers, who were also bombarded by the six gods and masters, were in the black domain, like headless flies, jumping around.
When Stubin passed the order to abandon ship, most of the East China Sea soldiers completely collapsed, and they had only one thought in their hearts, that is, how to escape from this nightmarish battlefield in front of them, and how many of them could care about destroying the battleship?
In doing so, you basically end up with the battleship, which requires a lot of courage.
Occasionally, the East China Sea soldiers who were loyal to Stubin and wanted to carry out this order also became a stumbling block for the brave soldiers.
One side wants to escape, but the other side refuses to let it.
The two sides immediately became enemies of life and death, drawing swords against each other.
The scene became extremely chaotic, and few people actually carried out Stubbin's order to blow up the ship.
This is determined by the complexity of human nature, and is not something that Steobin can control.
Not to mention, the Eternal Night Commander had already anticipated this possibility, and when the city defense artillery began to wield, the naval army of Jiangmen Port had already carried infantry and quietly touched the three Dreadnought-class warships, and the freezing bombs were not only for attacking the East China Sea Fleet, but also for clearing mines.
Even if those mines are not detonated by the freezing bombs, they will be frozen into ice mounds and taken away, opening the way for the Jiangmen Port Navy led by the Eternal Night Army.
When the black domain popped out, there was no scruples, and all the warships were at full power, rushing towards the locked target.
The three dreadnought-class battleships in the black domain became blind, and they did not form a strong resistance at all, so the ship-grabbing troops led by the Eternal Night Army easily boarded the battleship.
Once the ship-grabbing infantry led by the Eternal Night Army boarded the battleship, the overall situation was basically decided.
On the one hand, the military is chaotic and fights for itself.
On the other hand, morale is high and cooperation is seamless.
Not to mention that the Eternal Night Army led the ship-robbing soldiers, all of whom had turned on their night vision skills, and they were not affected by the Black Domain at all.
The result of the confrontation between the two sides was a one-sided slaughter, which further accelerated the collapse of the soldiers in the East China Sea.
However, the main purpose of the boarding force of the Eternal Night Army was to maintain the integrity of the three dreadnought-class sailing ships, and they did not deliberately slaughter the East China Sea soldiers on the battleships.
In order to prevent these East China Sea soldiers from jumping over the wall in a hurry and destroying the warship with the idea of dying together, the soldiers who boarded the ship led by the Eternal Night Army even took the initiative to use flares to open a passage for them in the dark area, directly to the side of the ship, and drove them from the battleship into the river.
"Report to Marshal, the Third Corps of the Zeshui Corps has successfully captured the enemy ship Queen, and the battleship is 80 percent intact. ”
"Report to the marshal, the 2nd Corps of the Zeshui Corps has successfully captured the enemy ship Revenge, and the battleship is 85 percent intact. ”
"Report to the marshal, the 1st Corps of the Sawasui Legion, which has successfully captured the enemy's flagship Izumo, with 75 percent of the ships intact, and failed to capture the enemy's leader, Stubin Cummins. ”
"Order the navy to press on all fronts, be sure to ensure the safety of the three warships, and order the Explorer fleet reserve to board the ship as soon as possible, make every effort to repair it, and familiarize itself with the battleship. ”
"Order Lieutenant Zoe and Lieutenant Karlov to lead the Bull Legion and the Fortress Legion to attack respectively, bite the opposing ground forces to the death, and never let them converge with the water troops. ”
The counterattack of the Eternal Night Leader was either not launched, and once it was launched, it was bound to be a series of combination punches.
The city defense artillery of Jiangmen Port began to exert its power on the front foot, and the infantry on the back foot who rushed to board the battleship arrived in a fast boat.
Immediately afterwards, the ten warships left by the Explorer fleet in Jiangmen Harbor rushed up violently, and set up a defensive posture around the three dreadnought-class galleons that had just been captured, while further extending the artillery bombardment, creating more disturbance, and at the same time preventing the East China Sea Fleet from coming back to its senses and retaking the warships.
At the same time, the city gate of Jiangmen Port was wide open, and the two major armies rushed out violently, with their backs against the city wall, and set up a military formation, the purpose of which was to bite the infantry of the East China Sea Fleet ashore and prevent them from having the opportunity to withdraw their warships.
The East China Sea Infantry, led by Captain Lena, was still in a state of confusion, and they didn't know what was going on at all, so they kept sending heralds to the river to investigate the situation.
These heralds either failed to contact the command center of the East China Sea Fleet - at this time, the Izumo had already been occupied, and Stubbin, who had fled in a hurry, had not yet had time to inform the East China Sea Fleet of his location, let alone take the initiative to display the flag representing his identity.
Although this is convenient for the East China Sea Fleet to contact him, he also exposes his whereabouts to the Eternal Night Commander, which is likely to attract the fire of the opponent's magic artillery.
Stubin was really frightened by the new weapons of the Eternal Night Army, and he didn't dare to show his head for a while.
Either that or that they brought back some news that Captain Lena couldn't believe.
For example, the three dreadnought-class galleons of the East China Sea Fleet were captured by the other side.
For example, King Stubin was captured by the Eternal Night.
Previously, it was clear that they had an absolute advantage, and the water and land went hand in hand, and Jiangmen Port was already in their bag.
How can the form be reversed in the middle of a lunch?
But it is an indisputable fact that the entire East China Sea Fleet is in chaos.
In this case, in the face of the infantry led by the Eternal Night Army who took the initiative to leave the city, Captain Lena did not dare to attack rashly.
Who knows if this is another trap laid by the other party.
Captain Lina's cautious decision caused her to miss the last chance to counterattack, even if the success rate of this counterattack was slim.
By the time the two armies led by the Eternal Night Army had set up their formations outside Jiangmen Port, they no longer had the slightest hope on the infantry side.
Over the next week, Captain Lena finally understood the true purpose of the Eternal Night Army in leading the two legions.
They were like dogskin plasters, firmly stuck behind them, and they didn't attack, just followed step by step, but the officers of the East China Sea who had a little military common sense knew that the reason why the other party did not attack was because the other party thought it was not necessary.
If they try to make contact with the East China Sea Fleet's water fleet and board the ship to return home, they will not hesitate to attack, leaving no stone unturned, including using their new ultra-long-range attack weapons.
Over the course of the week, they had seen the power of this new weapon of the Eternal Night.
The East China Sea Fleet on the Danube is called an embarrassment, and it is simply defenseless.
After the 10 Wavebreaker-class battleships led by the Eternal Night Army took up a posture on the Danube River, the firepower network formed by hundreds of ship-borne guns blew up the East China Sea Fleet.
Not to mention their spell shells, which have a variety of special effects.
During the day, there are black field bombs, which directly turn the warships of the East China Sea Fleet into blind.
At night, there are flares, illuminating the East China Sea Fleet with nothing to hide, coupled with the super night combat ability shown by the soldiers of the Eternal Night Army, it is just a humiliation to sneak attack at night.
Not to mention the Frozen Bomb.
It has become a nightmare for the East China Sea Fleet.
The greatest power of the Cryo Bomb is not in its direct damage, but in its secondary effect - its magic cold has armor-piercing properties.
Even if the soldiers were hiding behind what they thought was a thick deck, if they were on the perimeter of the Freeze Bomb, the pervasive magic chill would turn them into ice sculptures before they could react.
The soldiers who were frozen to death by the freezing bombs usually had a strange smile on their faces.
So the Cryo Bomb has a new nickname in the mouths of the East China Sea soldiers - the smile of death.
Even if the Cryo Bomb did not fall on the battleship, it should not be underestimated.
Because if they land upstream, they will turn into ice floes and impact their warships.
Be especially careful if you land downstream of them, as it usually means that the boarding force of the Eternal Night Army is about to arrive, so they are separated from the rest of the ships and ready to board for battle.
Within a week, they had already carried out three boarding operations in this way.
Each time it was invincible, and after the Izumo, the Queen, and the Revenge, seven more ships of the East China Sea Fleet were captured by the Eternal Night Commander.
As soon as the soldiers of the East China Sea heard the smile of death now, their scalps were like they had exploded, and they didn't know where to hide, maybe in the next hour, their warship would change hands, and they would become prisoners.
