Chapter 123: Rivalry at Sea

In Fuxing City, the second layer of the magic tower has been built, and after the completion of the huge portal, it can begin to officially accept magic apprentices.

The Magic Guild in Fuxing City is actually a branch of the Rainbow Island Magic Academy, and all admissions, training, and magic materials are provided by Rainbow Island. Rainbow Island is not afraid of losses, with De Longso, the perverted dean of the branch of the Magic Academy in Fuxing City, plus the magic rainbow, the magic academy on Rainbow Island can get rid of the magic guilds of Shenlong Island and the Alchemy Country a few streets.

After following Delonso for nearly two years, Daniel finally gets his wizard certificate and owns his own wizard's hut, but the young wizard prefers to go out with Sig and Nicole for adventures rather than being locked up in the hut. The lineage of Daniel as the son of the Holy Maiden of the Mizusawa Kingdom has given him a natural comprehension of water magic that surpasses everyone else, even the equally young Higg.

The reason why Delonso spared no effort to cultivate him was because the water magic itself was not too aggressive, and most of the water magic was used for healing and health preservation, which was very consistent with the original intention of Delonso's magic. Although Delonso prefers the demon Higg, the naturally restless Higg is something that Delongso cannot control.

Daniel also adhered to his teacher's philosophy that he did not participate in politics and war, but only cared about the suffering of the people, and devoted himself to the well-being of the people of Fuxing City.

……

Ma Pote finally opened the north-south passage, more than 500,000 troops controlled the west coast of Andalu Province to the north of the first and fourth war zones of more than 400 kilometers of narrow strip, at this time, he did not know that a few days ago his base camp had been ended by the devil's sharp knife, Arad did not want Ma Pote to know.

The main defensive areas are the capital of Andalu Province, Maslet, Misland and Fuxing City, which are 200,000 kilometers long, with a total strength of 140,000 and a total of 50,000 troops in Fuxing City, which is about to face the encirclement and suppression of 600,000 troops in the third theater.

It's not that Colenva doesn't want to withdraw in advance, but it's too late, and when he finds out about Alad's intentions, there is no way to gather his scattered forces to retreat westward, and Arad wants this time difference, so he gave a death order for Mapote to quickly cut off Colenva's defense area within a month.

Colenva finally reaped the bitter fruit of his pride and arrogance, and painfully accepted revenge from Arad.

However, it was not the army of Colenva that was the first to be retaliated against, but the navy of the Second Army and the seaport of Fuxing City.

Charlie's sea tactics have made the expansion of the harbor completed ahead of schedule, and the port cannot be lost, and the interior hall of Fuxing City is less than a thousand meters away from the harbor, and if the harbor is lost, it will multiply the pressure on the shore defense. 、

The monsoon winds blowing from south to north made the harbor more vulnerable to sneak attacks, so only half of the warships of the Second Army were in the harbor of Fuxing City, and the other half were in line defense on the periphery of the harbor.

There are a total of fifty warships in Arad's Sixth War Zone, of which forty-four appear in the waters south of Fuxing City, sixteen heavy capital warships and twenty-eight fast sail warships, they will carry out a sneak attack or decisive battle with the twenty-six warships of the Second Army and the six warships of Fuxing City in this sea area, the comparison of forces is not very different, but the wind direction is completely favorable to the Sixth War Zone, so the result of this naval battle is predictable.

The Navy of the Second Legion did not expect so many warships to be dispatched from the Sixth Theater of Operations, and had to send a signal for help to the Navy of the First Legion and Nicole's fleet, hoping that their reinforcements would save the fate of the Second Legion's Navy.

When Nicole received a pigeon from Aberto's request for help, a rare smile appeared on her face.

Nicole now has two plans, reinforcing Fuxing City or sneaking up on Truto, the home port of the Sixth War Zone, both of which are very beneficial to herself, because Yaning Island is in the south of the mainland, and her own fleet is a tailwind whether it is a sneak attack or reinforcement, and she can show her skills.

But Nicole didn't dare to give up the fleet of the Second Legion, giving up them would be equivalent to giving up Fuxing City, so the primary goal was to rescue, if when they arrived at the battlefield, the naval battle had ended, and their own warships could attack the port of Truto to the east, and the military port would be replaced by a military port, so I didn't believe that the warships in the Sixth Theater would dare not come back.

Nicole excitedly shouted to the herald on the lookout, "Blow the horn and ask for half an hour to prepare all the ships!" ”

Nicole didn't plan to lead all the warships to meet the battle, leaving two fast sail battleships to stay on Yaning Island, the speed and combat performance of these two battleships were far inferior to her six main battleships, and they could only lag behind.

……

In the sea area of Fuxing City, Marshal Sgels, the flagship captain of the Sixth War Zone, said angrily to the captains in the command room: "How do you do your intelligence work, why didn't the fleet of Fuxing City appear in this sea area?" ”

"Lord Marshal, now is not the time to discuss the location of the battleships of Fuxing City, now that the two armies are facing each other, if we don't attack again, and the warships of the First Army or Fuxing City are also involved, it will be more difficult for us! Isn't it more powerful for us that the warships of Fuxing City are gone? ”

Sgels said angrily: "What if the Revival fleet sneaks up on Truto Harbor? ”

Seeing that all the captains below were silent, Sgels said: "Even if they are attacking Truto Harbor now, we won't have time to reinforce it, let's take the harbor of Fuxing City first!" Return to your ships at once, and launch a general attack in three hours! ”

The warships of the Second Legion noticed the other side's movements, and all the warships left the harbor one after another and sailed westward, so as to avoid the unfavorable wind direction as much as possible, and the harbor was still safe until all the warships were destroyed.

On the afternoon of the third day after Nicole received the rescue signal, the forty-four warships of the Sixth War Zone finally launched a general attack on the twenty-six warships of the Second Legion, and a sea battle that had not appeared in nearly a hundred years finally began.

Although the Sixth Theater has the upper hand and occupies the advantage of a large number of warships, the warships of the Second Army are close to their home ports, and the supply of materials and personnel, as well as the assistance of other clippers and shore defense, may not be defeated immediately.

Thirty-five battleships of the 6th theater of operations, divided into five groups, rushed downwind towards the fleet of the 2nd Army Corps.

The advantage of tailwind is that it is fast, and your own battleship can quickly adjust the impact angle, so that your battleship can crash into the weak flank or tail of the enemy ship, and make your own battleship less damaged.

How could the fleet of the Second Legion make the other side go so smoothly? Began to sail westward to maneuver with the enemy's group of warships, and lined up in two columns to reduce the impact surface. In this way, even if the opposing warship crashes and destroys the last two warships, the other warships can quickly adjust, so that the warships of both sides can quickly entangle together, reducing the advantage of the opponent's wind direction.

Finally, after the loss of two battleships, all the battleships on both sides were entangled, except for Sgels's flagship and eight other battleships, and the arrow tower desperately sent out a rain of arrows, the main targets of which were sailors and soldiers on deck.

The Second Legion fleet began to consciously turn eastward, slowly approaching the harbor of Fuxing City. The harbor's shore defense forces include catapults, ballistas, and griffins, and some clippers are interspersed with assistance, slowly relieving the pressure.

Sgels immediately ordered the four ships on the side of the flagship to be reinforced, and he had to fight quickly to determine the victory in a few hours. After all, the gap in the number of warships is too great, now thirty-nine against twenty-four, basically two to one, more than two hours later, five warships on each side have sunk, plus the original two, the second army still has nineteen warships left. Instead of chasing each other, the warships of both sides began to jump into each other's hand-to-hand combat. As the sky darkened, Sgels' flagship quickly joined the hand-to-hand combat.

Entering hand-to-hand combat made the shore defense, with the exception of a small number of griffins, catapults and ballistae completely useless, but the role of clippers played a great role when the sky darkened.

More than a hundred clippers were interspersed in the harbor, the clippers directly installed sharp ramming angles, loaded with stones, accelerated their sails, and adjusted their direction, quickly approaching from the flanks of the enemy ships, at the moment of impact, all the sailors quickly jumped into the sea, the clippers loaded with stones relied on huge inertia, and the ramming angles were deeply inserted into the side of the enemy ship, although the enemy ship could not be sunk, but the damage to the hull was huge, and the battleship without strong armor would quickly leak, and the serious ones would quickly tilt. So these cheap clippers became part of the shore defense force, although more than half of the more than 100 clippers were shot before they hit the enemy ships, but this was enough to cause great trouble to the enemy's fleet.

The bottom compartment of the battleship will be divided into several independent empty compartments, and one or two empty compartments will not sink the battleship, but will cause the battleship to be damaged or tilted.

As soon as night fell, more than a hundred clippers were under the cover of night, so that almost all the warships of the Sixth Theater Fleet were damaged to varying degrees, but this did not affect the hand-to-hand combat on the deck that had been entangled together. The crossbowmen on the turret are not aiming at the opposing soldiers, who have become entangled, but on the opposing warships. The ignited arrows began to shoot at the sails and turrets of the opponent's ships, and the sails either caught fire or slowly retracted the sails.

The clippers are gone, the forces of the shore defense are not used, and even if there are more people on the shore, they cannot jump into the sea to help, and the fate of the fleet of the Second Army will soon be decided.

"Woooooo The horn sounded, and the fleet of the Second Army, which had lost the help of the shore defense forces, had no need to stay in the harbor, and they quickly spread their sails and broke through to the outside of the harbor. The two sides that had been entangled in the middle of the night finally distanced themselves, and there were only fourteen warships left in the Second Legion, while thirty-three warships of the other side remained, which was not at the same level at all. All the warships on both sides had varying degrees of damage, and the speed of sailing was not the same, making it difficult to organize an effective unified formation, so now the warships became chasing each other for their own battles.
