Count Horace Redwyn was of a mediocre appearance, with orange hair and a square face full of freckles.

In fact, he has always been looked down upon by the Magic Mountain.

It was also despised by the courtiers and generals of King's Landing.

The reason for this is that during the time of Robert I and the time of Joffrey, the twin brothers Horace Redwin had been ordinary courtiers of the royal family in the Red Keep. And the biggest skill of the two brothers is to go to all kinds of women's courtyards to fool around.

Moreover, the personal swordsmanship of the two brothers is also very average. Aside from the endless squandering of coins, there is little other merit to be found.

This time, the Magic Mountain asked him to lead the army of the sea route, and the naval legion was mainly composed of the fleet of the Redwin family itself and the fleet of the Midsummer Islands, and the fleet of the Royal Navy only produced a total of twelve warships. However, the battleships were equipped with artillery.

In the corps of more than a hundred battleships, there were twelve guns.

Facing the enemy battleship slowly closing on all sides, a fine sweat broke out on the tip of the young Earl Redwin's nose.

He ran down from the scabbard, came to the bow of the ship, pulled the tent cloth that covered the guns, and shouted, "Load the ammunition and aim at the flagship." ”

On the front, a flagship came slowly, and on the left and right sides and behind, there were layers of large and small warships.

The Count's flagship was at the front, and on the right was another gunboat.

The order was passed down, and the battleships on the left and right sides aimed at the flagships in their respective directions and the frigates next to the flagships.

To the left and right of the count, there were four guns, mounted on four Royal Navy battleships.

There are also two Royal Navy warships guarding the flagship of the Prince of the Midsummer Islands.

The front, middle and rear flagships have gathered to form a circular defensive array, surrounded by the opponent in the core.

The opponent's warships were all over the sea, layer upon layer, but they controlled the speed and came slowly, which gave Count Redwin plenty of time to prepare.

The guns of the twelve battleships were rolled out together, and the muzzles were aimed at the front.

At the moment of the great enemy, Count Horace Redwin's legs trembled slightly.

There are simply too many warships on the other side.

But he decided to fire the first shells himself.

"Move forward at a constant pace. Redwin gave the order.

Bang!

A uniform drum beat sounded, and the flagship moved forward steadily.

"Aim!" Earl Redwin lit the torch.

Several artillerymen corrected the muzzle, and the shells were stuffed into the chamber. The squad leader signals that everything is done and that it is ready to fire.

The young freckled Earl's expression became hideous, and the torch in his hand reached down and lit the fuse.

The other party's flagship was unaware and still came slowly. On the opposing warship, the relaxed singing of the Quells navy fluttered over.

That's the best target.

The fire flashed, boom, with a loud bang, the deck shook, and black shells whistled out, drawing a high arc in the air, clicking loudly, and accurately hitting the enemy flagship.

The shells hit the middle of the enemy's flagship like stone bullets, causing sawdust to fly and the ship's gang to break.

"God, so far away, what kind of ballista shot is that?" the general on the frigate was surprised. He came from the Tourmaline Brotherhood, and the commanding general on the flagship was the king's deputy chief of guard.

Before the words fell, there was a loud bang, the cannonball exploded, the wooden plank fragments rushed into the air, the entire battleship was broken in two, and the figure and the broken wood flew into the sky together.

More of the surviving soldiers let out earth-shattering howls.

The two broken hulls jumped upwards, but did not jump out of the water, and then quickly fell back and sank. The officers and sailors on the hull of the ship fell into the water one after another.

The officers and men on the frigate and the battleship formation behind were all stunned!

What is this, tearing a battleship into two pieces at once, and the parts that were hit, all shattered.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The other eleven battleships also roared one by one, and in the glow of fire, eleven black shells whistled out, hitting their targets one by one.

Just in an instant, the four flagships surrounded on all sides and the frigates next to the flagships were hit.

They're too slow.

Too good to aim.

The speed slowly closed and advanced layer by layer, this was the suffocation tactic of the Quells Navy. It's like a cat catching a mouse, it's not fun to bite to death, slowly play with the mouse with the cat's paws, let it try to escape in a panic, stop it again, gently pat it over with its paws, then let it go, grab it again, pick it up and throw it on the ground, and finally get tired of playing, and then bite it to death and eat it.

However, this tactic made for the best targets for artillery.

It's like a tacit understanding that the two sides have discussed in advance.

Only the first round of artillery salvo fired, and all the commanders commanded on the opposing flagship were killed. The frigate was also blown up.

The twelve battleships were vulnerable and sank into the sea one by one as broken garbage.

But for the Quells Navy, which dispatched 800 warships, the number of 12 warships lost was nothing at all.

It's just that their generals and lieutenants are basically on flagships and frigates.

Because the victory was in hand, and the incoming enemy was strangled at will, the flagships and frigates of the Quells Navy, which had no defense, were in the formation in front.

The Quells Navy is very powerful, and the chief general wants to take the first bite of the fat on the board himself.

And so, they were confronted with a way of fighting like they had never fought before.

On the sea, explosions sounded one after another, and the rumbling sound was earth-shattering. The loud cracking of the hull was superimposed, and the soldier was blown away along with the planks and rushed into the air. The whirlpool brought by the sinking of the broken hull swept the surviving soldiers to the bottom of the sea.

Earl Redwyn trembled with excitement.

"Hurry up, reload your ammo!"

The second shell was loaded into the chamber.

"Aim for the front. ”

Several well-trained artillerymen quickly made visual corrections. The Royal Navy artillerymen, the first soldiers, each one of them was carefully selected and trained in shooting under the leadership of the Great Wise and Duke Gendry Baratheon.

Hitting targets accurately is the only requirement for them to be an artillery fighter.

Earl Redwin lit the fuse again.

The second shell whistled out. Xiaotao Chinese

On the opposite side, panicked shouts erupted from the enemy ships, and the entire ship, including the officers and men of the nearby ships, began to dodge in a hurry. The helmsman turned the rudder desperately at the command of the captain, and the sailors paddled desperately to the dense beat of the drum. The hull was half turned, and the shells whistled and smashed into the back half of the hull.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, the powerful force of the explosion lifted the battleship from the tail and almost overturned the hull. In the firelight, the planks broke into countless fragments and flew through the air. The screams of the fighters were accompanied by the sound of countless people falling into the water.

The hull that had been lifted back down, leaving only most of the front half, and the sea water poured in frantically. The bow of the ship was quickly cocked and quickly stood upright. The warriors, sailors, and crew of the ship shouted together and fell into the water.

"Slow down, reload!"

The mediocre side of the young Earl Redwin was gone, his calves were no longer shaking, the cold sweat was no longer on his forehead, and the look of fear was gone, replaced by a sharp look, a pursed lip, and a resolute face.

In front, the other side sounded the horn of retreat. Countless ships are turning around. But the fleet was too large, and in the case of everyone panicking, in the absence of a commander, it was an extremely difficult technical task to turn around together with two hundred battleships in formation and not far away.

Because the Quiles Navy used suffocation tactics, the closer they got to the Redwyne fleet warships, the more the distance between them narrowed, and at the end of the suffocation tactics, the 800 warships were completely close together, encircled, and attacked the 100 enemy ships encircled in the core together.

Boom Boom Boom!

The other guns also rang out one by one.

The explosions continued, the loud sound of the hull breaking with the clatter, the battleships that were hit all broke apart, and the soldiers who were not killed immediately quickly fell into the sea with the wrecked ship.

The Quells navy surrounded on all sides was stunned, they had never seen such a combat method, and they had never seen such a terrible combat weapon, the opponent's black cannonballa could hit the target at a distance of more than twice the distance of the ballista, but the speed was faster than the stone bullets fired by the ballista and the like, I don't know how many times. As soon as the fire flashed and the thunder sounded, the terrifying black ball was in front of you in the blink of an eye.

The well-trained battleship made a perfect dodge that didn't have time to dodge: there wasn't enough time.

Under the rumbling artillery fire, the formations of the Quiles naval battleships began to disarray, collapsed, turned around, and fled in all directions.

After the army, the Prince of the Midsummer Islands ordered a pursuit.

It was a very bad decision.

Thirty warships of the rear army immediately pursued the victory. Two guns also advanced under fire. The fleets encircled by the enemy's rear were suddenly in great confusion, colliding with each other, stirring together, and the formation was no longer there.

Several shells fell into the enemy ships, and in the explosion like thunder, several battleships were hit, blazing and howling. The broken hull sank rapidly, and the shattered planks and human bodies rushed into the air.

On the flagship of the former army, Redwin saw this scene and ordered the horn of the whole army to attack.

Seventy warships beat the drums and whistles, and the soldiers shouted loudly, and the battleships chased after them like arrows.

The scholar beside the young earl changed his face slightly, and said: "Lord Earl, we can't defeat the opponent's fleet, so we can only bluff and pretend to pursue, and secretly gather and retreat quickly. ”

"Bachelor, twelve gunboats, a total of more than six hundred shells. "Earl Redwyn is in high spirits.

"The Quells Navy has more than four thousand warships. Most of the warships were still in the harbor, and even if a single shell hit a battleship, we could only destroy 600 enemy ships. The current tactic is that we attack at night and set fire to the enemy warships and commercial ships first, rather than fighting the opposing navy head-on. ”

"Bachelor, you don't understand military affairs. The enemy was afraid, our morale was greatly increased, it was the best time to pursue, the enemy ships were too late to turn around and flee for their lives, and they did not dare to engage us at all. ”

"Their main fleet will soon get the news. ”

"But they didn't know that we only had more than five hundred shells. ”

"But we know. ”

"You don't understand, and I've released ravens to Her Majesty Daenerys Targaryen, and by the time we run out of shells, her dragon will be here. ”

"But what if Her Majesty's dragon doesn't come?"

"Are you scared? Earl Redwin said proudly.

As he spoke, the flagship advanced at the speed of impact, quickly approaching the enemy ship that had fled in confusion. There were too many enemy warships, and the retreat was chaotic in formation, and there were quite a few collisions with each other. Except for the relatively smooth U-turn in front, the battleships in the rear basically can't run at speed.

The Earl's flagship and frigate fired two shells in unison, blowing the two enemy ships to pieces.

On the left and right, a battleship crossed the flagship and pursued the enemy ships that were lagging behind in the confusion.

Whoosh!

The archer's arrows whistled in the air and shot forward.

"Lord Earl, it's still too late to order a retreat. ”

"Bachelor, don't say any more. Earl Redwin raised his eyebrows, "If you fight, you will die, don't stop me from doing my work!"

Before the words fell, in front, an enemy ship that could not escape no longer fled, but turned around and came towards the flagship.

"Fire!" Count Redwin smiled as he handed the torch to the artillery squad leader.

Rumble!

The shells landed on the deck of the enemy ship, blowing away the soldiers on the deck and blowing a large hole in the deck of the ship. The battleship lost its balance, and in the midst of violent turbulence, it still stubbornly approached the flagship of Count Redwyne and collided.

"Dodge!" The young earl, who was smiling comfortably at the bow of the ship, was so frightened that his smile disappeared in an instant, and his face turned white.

Rumble!

The frigate fired a cannonball and hit the incoming ship, and the enemy ship, which had already suffered heavy damage, could no longer bear it, and with a bang, it disintegrated and exploded.

Countless pieces flew in the sky.

Click!

With a loud bang, a battleship caught up with the enemy, and the bow hit the middle of the hull of the enemy ship, which was turning around to fight, and before it could complete the turn, it was caught up and hit.

The tremendous force of the ramming almost overturned the enemy ship. With a loud bang, the enemy ship gang shattered, and the hull of the ship cracked through it, and the large gap caused by the tear penetrated the opposite boat gang.

The enemy soldiers on the deck could not stand and fell one after another. The soldiers on the side of the ship were thrown out by the force of inertia.

However, more enemy ships no longer fled, but turned around.

The sound of the horn of the U-turn battle was heard from one ship of the enemy ship to another.

Since there is no escape, then fight to the death.

Amid the roar of cannonballs, the ramming of the enemy ships, and the shouts of the soldiers, the warships of both sides began to engage in close combat, the archers firing at each other, and the sword and shield men were ready to jump onto the enemy ships, waiting for the two ships to approach and merge.

The tide began to reverse.

The enemy ships were sunk by the guns one by one, however, more ships crashed into the enemy ship group, and hand-to-hand combat ensued. Soon, the outnumbered situation began to manifest.

Several warships were surrounded by the enemy and fell into a bitter battle.

The first to be defeated was the rear fleet, and the Prince of the Midsummer Islands was the first to pursue, and he was also the first to fall into the enemy's encirclement. Although the two gunboats destroyed more than a dozen battleships in a row, they could not withstand the counterattack of more battleships on the prince's flagship.

Countless rockets were densely packed into the prince's flagship, turning it into a huge hedgehog, and the flagship soon burst into flames.

The Quells Navy has always been strong in combat and has a variety of naval battles. The sailors are well trained.

When the two gunboats were approached one by one by the enemy warships, and the prince on the flagship jumped into the sea and was killed by random arrows, the rear fleet began to rout.
