Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Opposites attract, the same sex repels each other, perhaps in line with this most basic natural law, in the eyes of other races barbaric and uncivilized representative of the Second Goblin Empire, on the contrary, double the discrimination against backward races such as the Shahua Fishmen, this phenomenon is estimated to be explained by the transformation of excessive inferiority into extreme pride. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
The general arrogance of the goblins prevented them from making a correct judgment, and Modo Blackwater did not even think about the need to negotiate peacefully with the local indigenous Shahua fishmen to obtain the understanding of the other party before taking further military action, or to urge these Shahua fishmen to take the idea of assisting in the arrest of Luo Zhengdao. The goblin fleet, which is no different from a mad dog, follows the pirate fleet in full pursuit, completely ignoring the fact that its own fleet has sailed into the waters ruled by the Sawah Fishmen, and its attitude is as arrogant as if it were in a no-man's land.
Originally, it was a spectator mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but when the fish-man king Akuru learned of the arrogant attitude expressed by the goblin, its green skin covered with scales revealed a strange purple-red color in an instant, which was the expression of the Shahua fish-man who was furious to the extreme, Yakuru IV gritted his teeth and said:
"Gather the warriors and give those greenskins some color."
"Bang Bang ......"
The sound of low and powerful war drums sounded from all directions at the same time, and Luo Zhengdao and Modo Heishui, who were chasing after me in the shallow sea environment, noticed that the Shahua Fishman had begun to intervene in the war, and regardless of what they thought, they had to take into account this third-party force that could enter at any time.
Generations of occupying an important shipping route on the sea of the stars, on weekdays do sit on the ground to share the spoils of the pirate business, the Sawa Fishmen often go out to plunder the nearby enclave islands, they are also quite a prestigious local pirate force, the Sawa Fishmen are good at longship gangplank tactics and long-range fire attack tactics are the nightmare memories that many of the Stars and the Sea Islanders will never forget.
The current generation of the Fish-Man King, Akuru Fernando IV, is a typical fish-man warrior with a muscular and hideous face, similar in appearance to the Yaksha of Dividing Water in Old World Chinese mythology, but his brain is not as straight as that of his kind. Having spent a few years as a mercenary in his youth and a few years on a pirate ship, Akuru has seen a lot of the world. After returning home and defeating his brothers and seizing the throne, he decided early on that there was no future in keeping his old traditions. After his accession to the throne, Akuru IV revised the customary laws that the Sawa Fishmen adhered to, and the organization of the army was brought into line with the great powers, and the types of warships used by the Sawa Fishmen expanded from a single light and long ship to a variety of warships.
After years of painstaking management, even if the sea forces possessed by the Sawah Fishmen were far inferior to the regular navies of the major empires, it was still not something that the task force of Modo Blackwater could ignore.
The fish-man king Akuru smiled and made a slashing gesture downward, and his military commander immediately understood and shouted:
"Wow! Shoot...... Fire crossbow! ”
"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-"
The trigger of the crossbow, the size of a fist, was struck with a wooden hammer, and the bolts that looked like countless comets crossing the dusky sky burned across the sky, leaving behind a trail of streaked smoke with its tail.
The hollow arrows at the tip of the crossbow arrows were filled with dense oil extracted from the fish by the Sawa Fishmen, which turned into a puff of flame when they slammed into the goblin battleship, and at the same time the falling fire unceremoniously ignited the sails and planks of the goblin warship, and the boiling oil that burst on the goblin sailors made them scream.
After making such a big commotion, the two pirate ships under Luo Zhengdao also noticed that the goblins were in trouble, and the pirates had the idea of moving the troubles eastward, and Zola Hegel laughed proudly and said:
"Your Excellency, they're fighting."
Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao did not show excessive joy, and said indifferently:
"Very well, turn now, we need to help the fish-man."
Hearing this, the half-elf beauty Vina Dubov asked puzzledly:
"Is it necessary? The Sawa Fish People don't think we have any kindness, do they? ”
In this regard, Luo Zhengdao had no intention of explaining more, and continued to say straightforwardly:
"I'm the captain, carry out the order!"
"Alright! You are the captain. ”
The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. When Luo Zhengdao ordered the warship to change course and sail to the territory of Shahua Fishman, he foresaw this hot battle scene, Luo Zhengdao did not have the idea of staying by and watching the excitement, and directly ordered his warship to turn around and participate in this battle.
Your own side is fighting hard, and someone is watching the battle leisurely, which is an excellent way to pull hatred! Since Luo Zhengdao, who is a human aristocrat in exile, has long been destined to be incompatible with the Goblin Goblin Second Empire, no matter what kind of perception he personally has of Shahua Fishman, this cannot change the fait accompli that the two sides have a common enemy. The enemy of the enemy should be able to become a friend, and if the enemy is strong enough, it is an unbreakable alliance that cannot be broken by any external force, which is the most simple truth in international politics.
"Tom! Tong! Tong! ”
At this time, the stone projectiles that fell near the Modo Blackwater flagship stirred up thick columns of water on the surface of the sea, and the naval battle in the coastal water environment was even more dangerous than the battle mode in the Aether Sea, and once the battleship was damaged and the hull was heavily leaked, the battleship that lost its mobility would immediately become a live target for the concentrated fire of the nearby enemy.
"A human warship? Those damn hairless monkeys! ”
Modo Blackwater's curses could not change the actual disadvantage of the goblin fleet being flanked from front to back, and the goblin lieutenant grabbed a cable to fix the body that shook with the battleship, and shouted:
"Your Excellency, Commander, we are being flanked, please make a decision!"
Hearing this, the angry Modo Heishui stared at his bloodshot eyes, clenched his fists and roared:
"The glory of the empire cannot be tarnished, raise the black flag and kill these bastards!"
Modo Heishui's backer in the Senate was indeed quite strong, even though it had damaged a large number of ships in the pursuit of Luo Zhengdao in the previous stage, and after returning to the ship, it was completely repaired, and then received new warships from the military department to replenish it. Instead of holding it accountable for its ineffective handling, the forces at the hands of Modo Black Mariner have been greatly strengthened, and it is indeed a good official in the DPRK! At present, the total number of warships under its command has reached an unprecedented 60 or so, and even if the cruisers that are used to fill up the number are removed, there are as many as four battleships above the sixth level, and the combat power is comparable to a regional fleet of the Yaling Navy, of which the largest tonnage is its new flagship, the Immortal Bird, a third-class battleship.
If you ask what the combat power of this three-stage battleship with four masts, three gun decks, 1o6 light and heavy guns, and a maximum caliber of 32-pound long-barreled cannon is, it is estimated that the answer is also obvious.
If it weren't for the fact that the two warships in Luo Zhengdao's hand were both special enhancement types with extremely fast sailing, and the increase in straight sailing was particularly excellent, and they never gave Modo Blackwater a chance to wield the double advantage of fleet firepower and numbers, and probably couldn't wait to escape from the waters near the main big 6, these two pirate ships would have been crushed into a scum by the goblin fleet.
Seeing that the goblin fleet put on a desperate posture of pinching to the end, Luo Zhengdao was not much sure that he would retreat, and immediately ordered:
"Hang the signal flag, inform the Yong to withdraw from the battle, and the ship will speed up to the limit."
In the long history of the old world, there have been all kinds of strange weapons and strange military theories, before the practical use of military aircraft in the 20th century, strong ships and sharp guns have always been the right way to build a navy, and fast ship guns are not necessarily evil, the key is to see what tactics you adopt to deal with what kind of opponent.
Weapons and tactics are matched, similar to John Bull's kind of thin-skinned war patrol who goes to the Battle of Jutland as soon as his head is congested, and fights to the death with Hans's rough-skinned battleships, and the example of paying a terrible price for this can only be said to be the recurrence of advanced mad cow disease, which is incurable. It's like letting the hunters of Mt. Yamaguchi not play kite flying, and they have to change their careers to learn from other mT to carry the boss, it's normal to be fooled, the battle patrol itself is right, and the guy who has this bad idea is really a cheat dad who doesn't play drafts!
As Luo Zhengdao ordered to abandon the stumbling block of the Yong, the Yangwei, which let go of its hands and feet, immediately soared to the twenty-second quarter, and before the goblin fleet completed its turn, it took one step ahead of the attack position of the T-shaped cross-head formation.
"Short heavy artillery preparation...... Put! ”
Familiar with Tang poems three hundred, can't compose poems and can chant, Luo Zhengdao has fought so many naval battles since he crossed over, he has mastered the general common sense, and he doesn't need to be reminded of what to do at what point in time.
With a thunderous roar, more than a hundred or so shotguns erupted in the golden flames of the stone pine spore powder, and then other guns began to join the chorus, and these round flying objects swept a sea of blood on the upper deck of the goblin flagship Immortal Bird opposite, and by the way, opened a few holes in the weak spots on the side. The goblin gunners and crossbowmen who had been on the upper deck and the goblin infantry preparing for the broadside battle were killed and wounded at close range, and the rhythmic salvo of cannon fire from the Immortal fell silent.
A little later, the goblins managed to resume their artillery salvos, but only the untidy platoon of guns from the lower two decks returned fire, and the goblin crews on the upper deck suffered so many casualties that they were completely incapacitated.
"Don't pull me! Bump into them, sink them. ”
Despite repeated dissuasion from the first mate and boatswain, Goblin Commander Modo Blackwater behaved like a red-eyed gambler who had lost all his fortune at the poker table, shaking off all of his men and forcibly holding the steering wheel. Immediately, the Immortal Bird broke away from the battle line of the goblin fleet and pounced on the Mighty Horn like a bull in red cloth, quite a desperate posture of either fish death or net breaking today. Seeing this scene, while feeling a little stunned, Luo Zhengdao disdainfully turned his disgruntled heart into a sneer, if the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry and can reverse the situation, why do you have to work so hard to lay out? Isn't it over if you're crazier than anyone else?
Immediately, Luo Zhengdao restrained his smile and said:
"Shake off the green skins at once."
