Chapter 54: The Battle of Kyoto Bay (Part I)
With the blue sky illuminated by the sun and the dark and decaying land of Kyoto polluted by magic, Lorraine stood on his flagship and watched as the Riberians shouted their trumpets and sailed their warships out of Kyoto Bay. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Sir, aren't we going to follow?"
"Go up and die? We're all transports, so let's get away while the Riberians are dragging the enemy fleet! ”
"But ......"
"Don't do it, don't you want to split the money?"
The vast majority of the Eastern Army were transports, and Catherine agreed to Lorraine's request not to fight, only asking for two-thirds of the ammunition as cover payment.
Off the coast of Kyoto Port.
For Murong Ying, a female pirate desperate for revenge, the Riberia fleet in front of her that was spreading out was really beautiful, beautiful enough for her to reincarnate from the false Admiral of the Uesugi Family to a hungry wolf in the East China Sea.
Wearing a three-cornered hat and stepping on the side of the ship, he held a scimitar and a musket in his hands and gestured at the fleet flying the Riberian naval flag not far away, as if considering the fate of these ships.
"Admiral, there are quite a few enemies, are you still attacking according to the plan?"
"Of course, that's my prey! O prey! ”
Looking at the fleet, her eyes sparkled like an addict who had seen white powder, and bloodthirsty desire filled Murong Ying's brain, she wanted revenge, revenge full of blood and fire.
Although she only had warships under her command, most of them were light Eastern cruisers, and the heavy battleships did not have an advantage over the main battleships compared to the opposite side.
But the number of battleships was significantly more than that of the Riberians, the total number of cannons exceeded four hundred, and not to mention that the battleships were equipped with large-caliber guns, and the fight was not false at all.
"That's it! Boys! It's time to go to war, sink the ships on the other side, capture those Xiyi, and I promise to give you more treasures, and maybe that tigress will serve you too! ”
The pirates roared with joy, and despite the high wind and waves, they pulled on the full sails, and the battleship suddenly rushed towards the Riberian fleet in formation like a cheetah sprinting at full speed.
"A pirate who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he dares to confront the Kingdom of Riberia head-on! Soldiers, in the name of God and Kingdom, I beg you, Ribalia, to do your duty! ”
"For the Motherland! Offensive! ”
The sailors were fearless, these Riberians had lost their homeland and their families, and suffered heavy casualties in Kyoto, but Admiral Catherine's words still gave them courage, and the courage of the men who belonged to the kingdom of the sea never faded!
The mages stationed on the ship took out their treasured spell scrolls to add powerful wind power to the battleship, the artillerymen opened all the gun windows, a well-guarded cannon was exposed, and more sailors picked up rifles and cold weapons, ready to fight at any time.
Accompanied by the whistling solid bullets and chain bullets, the silver-white water column quickly surrounded the fleets on both sides, and the fastest warships began to collide with each other, and one after another huge explosions, accompanied by dense black smoke, flames, and countless water mist, completely pushed these gritted warriors into the abyss of death.
"Don't stop! Port barrage salvo! "Murong Ying's flagship, with a small fleet that was not scattered, poured all its firepower on the nearest battleship of Riberia.
A dense rain of bullets fell on the battleship, the sailors scattered on the deck suffered heavy casualties, the main facilities were destroyed, the sails were ignited, and the whole battleship looked crumbling, but their captain was not dead!
"Damn pirates! Let me see the courage of the people of Riberia! The captain who had been shot in the abdomen was burned unconscious by the blood, completely ignoring his injuries, and the bulky battleship slammed directly into the pirate battleship next to him under his control.
The unprepared pirate cruisers could only watch - the ships collided, the flames burned, and the wounded sailors wailed after a rain of bullets, a scene of hell on earth.
Then came the sinking and the ensuing whirlpool, dragging all the surviving children of the sea to the bottom of the sea, completely becoming the food ration of fish and shrimp.
At this time, the Riberia fleet did not care about its own losses at all, and everyone was for the sentence: Riberia hoped that everyone would fulfill their duties and fight to the death, only hoping to win a chance to survive for the exiled transport ships behind them.
If they fail here, not only will the Eastern Army have to fight back to Edo by land, but even the exiles will have to abandon their ships, and no one knows what the future path will be.
Half an hour after the start of the battle, Admiral Catherine noticed that more and more naval battleships, entangled by the enemy's clippers, had to give up the superiority of naval guns and could only engage in broadside battles.
"That's not going to work...... Mages! Take to the skies now, I need you to form an air commando team to help the soldiers gain the upper hand! ”
The mages who accompanied the ship stood up silently, and even the Eastern mages who were forced to join didn't say much, if they escaped at this time, they would definitely be sniped by the warlords, so they could only go together!
It's just that this time Murong Ying is not as unlucky as the last time, and after learning the lessons of Bantang Temple, she also brought a powerful spell caster army - a demon ninja who specializes in long-range combat!
"Ninja-sama, do you see the birds taking off? Those are your prey, and I wish you a happy hunt. ”
"Murong Ying, put away your little tricks, we will help you defeat the enemy, but don't forget that all this was given to you by Lord Uesugi!"
The leader of the demon ninja viciously reminded Murong Ying, and took his subordinates into the air to meet Ribalia's air commando.
"Cut, a group of Japanese ninjas are so arrogant, one day they will have to feed the fish!"
"That's it! Now it's time to fight, don't talk nonsense! ”
Murong Ying scolded his subordinates and continued to lead the pirates to attack the Riberians, but the two sides were completely entangled, and the artillery battle began to shrink in scale.
However, this was difficult for the lawless Murong Ying, and her flagship quickly played the flag: "The two sides are fighting against the gunwales!" The winner lives, the loser dies! ”
"A salvo of all ships!"
"Boom!"
A row of solid shells flew out of the flagship's side, punching several holes in the heavy cruisers of the Riberian Army on the opposite side, completely incapacitating and exposing Admiral Catherine's flagship.
"Look, big sister! That flag is the flagship of the Xiyi people! ”
"Flagship!? Kill the little ones and kill their commanders! ”
And the Riberians did not expect that the protective ring of the flagship was actually broken, and Admiral Catherine realized that if other warships were allowed to rush to the rescue, it was very likely to cause more losses.
"Flag Message! Order the other ships to get rid of the others and come again, and we'll rush forward! Kill that damn pirate! ”
"Yes!"
