Chapter 583: The Battle Tide Reversed
Compared with the air battle on land in which the warring parties often invest tens of thousands of troops, the air battle that took place in the southern sea area of the Elasia continent is really ordinary, and there is nothing to be remarkable, but as the first large-scale air battle in the history of continental naval warfare, this battle is destined to be recorded in history, because this battle opened a new chapter in the naval battle of the world where the continent of Erathia and even the continent is located. All the forces that have navies have begun to change their thinking on naval tactics, and the concept of air supremacy has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people, and how to carry more flying arms to the sea and how to compete for air supremacy in naval warfare has become a brand-new topic for the navies of the major powers.
But these later words do not mean that no one realizes the significance of this battle at this time, for example, in the eyes of the black dragon Bullebore, the sea and air battle that she personally participated in is definitely of extraordinary significance.
First of all, this is the first battle since the first major refitting of the First Fleet of the Alliance, many of the tactical ideas of the Alliance Navy will be verified in this battle, the process of this battle is destined to be used as a teaching material by the Military Academy, as an example of the classic World War, when the time comes, as one of the few major officers in this air battle, Bleborena is very sure that she will be included in it, and when the time comes, her name will go down in history and be remembered for future generations.
Secondly, this war also means that the alliance is officially at war with the Bracada Mage Kingdom, with it, because in fact, the strategic cooperation treaty of the three countries of the Holy Alliance, which has long existed in name, the alliance is also equivalent to a formal declaration of war on the Erathia Empire and the Elven Kingdom in some form, although the war is still limited to the sea, but soon, in Baildes, in Tytaria, and even in Hammondale, the alliance army will launch a series of military operations, The Alliance Army is gearing up to show the world how powerful they are and has begun to join the race for domination of the continent.
In the end, this battle is the first battle since Bleborena officially joined the Navy, if in this important battle, she can perform brilliantly and be favored by the upper echelons of the alliance military, then in the future, Breborena will have a brilliant future in the military, and in time, she will be very likely to succeed the black dragon hero Diodoras, become the second dragon general officer in the alliance army, when the time comes, what kind of glory will it be? I'm afraid that even the patriarchs of the four major tribes of the Dragon Clan will have to greet her respectfully when they see her.
With these eager thoughts, Bleborena crisscrossed the sky, using her racial advantage hard, leading a small group of black dragon warriors to hunt the enemy's gods and monsters and magicians, as the only dragon veteran in the navy's black dragon force who participated in the two Negan unification battles, her performance in this air battle can be described as dazzling and dazzling.
Her rich combat experience makes up for the fact that Bullebrena is not very good among the dragons, she is proficient in mastering all the skills that a dragon warrior who has been in battle should master, compared to the black dragon warriors under her command who have only mixed with the Negan lords in local wars in these years, have not encountered any strong opponents, and are seriously inexperienced and only rely on brute force to fight, she clearly knows what distance Long Yan should be at and from what angle to maximize the killing of the most enemies, She knows exactly how to use her sharp teeth and claws to attack the enemy's vital parts from unexpected directions, how to use her long steel whip-like tail to confuse the enemy's vision or secretly deliver a fatal blow to the enemy, how to protect her relatively fragile belly in a dogfight, and how to use her magic immunity to block the deadly attacks of the enemy mage for the allies around her.
All of this makes Bleborena the most effective killing machine in this aerial battlefield, no god monster can survive a round in front of her, their desperate agility is so sluggish and ridiculous in her eyes, many gargoyles in a group were burned into black stones by her with the astonishing temperature of the dragon flame and fell into the sea, where she passed, one after another gods and monsters or gargoyles fell from the sky, her momentum can only be described as invincible, all the enemies who faced her onslaught, Nothing does not create a visceral fear.
And she is also a commander with considerable ability, under her command, the first ship
The performance of the black dragons in this air battle is also quite eye-catching, they take the three-headed black dragon warriors as a small team, cooperate with each other to run rampant on the battlefield, where the enemy is the most difficult, where there is their black figure, the damage they cause to the enemy, so that the angel warriors who also participated in this battle are difficult to match - maybe in a single battle, the black dragons will indeed lose in the hands of the angel clan, but when it comes to such a melee, the results that a hundred of the most elite archangel warriors can achieve, It is definitely not as good as twenty black dragons, because the black dragons have huge bodies and dragon flames that can cause large-scale damage, but the angel clan does not, each race has the advantages of each race, and the true power of the black dragons can only be perfectly reflected in such a melee.
Because of the existence of the Black Dragon Clan and the Angel Clan, the Alliance Army will of course far surpass the opponent in terms of combat effectiveness, but in addition to the powerful troops such as the Black Dragon and the Angel, the huge gap in equipment is also one of the important reasons why the combat effectiveness of the warring parties is completely asymmetrical.
Perhaps because the magicians of Bracada never regarded the magical creatures they made as companions, but only as a tool, neither the self-aware gargoyles nor the gods and monsters with high intelligence and independent personalities wore any equipment that would help them fight, and the gargoyles did not need to say that even the gods and monsters had nothing on their bodies, let alone weapons, except for a simple thin uniform that represented their identity.
On the battlefield, the gods and monsters use their innate racial ability to fight, a magic-like energy mass attached to the palm formed by the air magic element in the palm of the hand to attack the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, and the defense can only rely on their blue-skinned ** to block or dodge with agility.
Their opponents, the flying units of the Alliance Army, are armed with a variety of weapons, with a reasonable combination of long-range and short-range combinations, and they also have extremely light weight chain mail or leather armor that the dwarves have carefully created for the flying troops, and even the dragons with amazing defensive power are all wearing huge belly-shaped armor that glows with metallic light in the sun to protect their abdomen, and it is self-evident which side has the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat in this case.
The superiority in strength and the huge gap in combat effectiveness made this air battle almost turn into a one-sided massacre of the Bracada army by the Union army before the second wave of flying troops sent by Katrick arrived.
But the Bracada army held on, and they held out until reinforcements arrived, albeit at the cost of more than half of their losses.
The addition of more than 7,000 Bracada troops changed the situation on the battlefield again, and with the remaining flight units of the First Fleet, the strength of the Bracada Army had reached nearly 9,000 on the field at this time, completely reversing their previous disadvantage in strength.
So the Bracada army began to exert its might.
With more than 3,000 troops against the enemy's more than 9,000 troops, the problem faced by the brave soldiers of the Union Army was not as simple as everyone having to face the siege of three enemies at the same time, if this was the case, I am afraid that every Union soldier would laugh out loud with joy.
Quantitative changes will cause qualitative changes, and combat is not just as simple as doing addition and subtraction arithmetic, the advantage of more than 9,000 against more than 3,000 is that after dividing enough troops to entangle the opponent, the Bracada army can gather superior forces to carry out a high-intensity and high-density siege of the enemy locally.
This meant that in this chaotic battlefield, some of the Union soldiers only had to face one or two enemies, but at the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, some of the Union soldiers were being attacked by five, six, or eight, nine, or even a dozen enemies alone.
So in just a short period of time, the alliance army showed its defeat, and in turn it showed itself in the bitter battle, even the black dragon clan and the angel clan, which were once invincible on the battlefield, also lost their prestige just now, and were chased and beaten by the Bracada army as a key target on the battlefield.
The situation was completely reversed.
Then, not long after, the Union army began to retreat.
But the coalition army is not chaotic, their command system is still effective, the formation is still intact, the cooperation is still tacit, the soldiers cover each other and retreat, and fight and go, it is not easy for the Bracada army to destroy them, although there is no doubt that the alliance army can no longer win in this air battle.
"Everything is in plan, the enemy is beginning to retreat!" After receiving the information from the front, Katrik, the commander of the Bracada Army, smiled even more, "I won this battle!" ”
"Everything is planned, the enemy has taken the bait!" On the other side, Sylvia, the commander of the Alliance Army, who was riding on a black dragon and approaching the enemy fleet, also said something similar to Cattrick after reading a piece of information, the smile on her face was even thicker than that of Cattrick, and around her, there were more strong black dragons like her, "This battle, we won!" This will be a victory that truly belongs to our Navy! A victory that will bring great glory to the Union Navy! ”
