Chapter 983: The Battle of the Strait suffered heavy losses

The Hammer of War calculated very accurately, when Jiang Qin and Zhang Zhiyuan's fleet left a certain distance, their main team began to start, crossed the strait in a hurry, relined on the west side of the strait, and then chased towards the north.

Jiang Qin soon learned of the enemy's movements from the report of the fortress on the island, and immediately returned to the south, choosing to engage the fleet on this side first, according to the distance he traveled, Jiang Qin could easily calculate that no matter how much he fought with the enemy army over there, the enemy's other fleet would arrive in about the same time, but Jiang Qin still chose to engage the enemy team on this side of the strait mouth first, which is also for a reason.

The Hammer of War's fleet did take some time, and it didn't take long for them to set sail again when they saw the shadow of the sail covering the sky to the north, and the enemy was coming.

A large fleet of thousands of warships is actually difficult to command, and such a large number of fleets is not efficient, fortunately, the hammer of the god of war has spent more than a hundred passes, so in fact, this huge fleet is a combination of small fleets, and the number of each small fleet is about 100, although it is still a little much, but relatively speaking, the command of local battles has improved a lot.

The number of sea ships on both sides is so large that it occupies almost the entire sea surface on the west side of Emerald Island, and the battle has not yet begun, and this terrifying scene that almost even covers the sea surface has made people's blood boil.

"Thirty on the right rudder, seize the upper hand.1 Jiang Qin stood on the command platform, his expression solemn and calm, but from his hands holding the railing, it could be seen that he was actually very nervous in his heart.

Zhang Zhiyuan stood aside. Carefully observing the changes in the entire battlefield, while writing and drawing on the drawing board in his hand, he is now taking on the role of a qualified fleet deputy commander.

"Left rudder thirty. Catching up with them and wanting to get the upper hand is not that simple! The detachments should pay attention to maintaining their formation. ”

The Hammer of the God of War formed a formation of three arrows, and Jiang Qin was now a dense large phalanx.

"Thirty on the left side, attack at full speed! Each squad fights separately1

As the commander of the Hammer of War had expected, Jiang Qin immediately broke up the oversized fleet after gaining a slight upper hand. Now that the two fleets are about the same number, a total of nearly 9,000 warships, the other side will definitely take advantage of the dexterity of the grassroots command. Storm your own fleet with grouped formations.

"Left rudder fifteen, shrink formation! Hold the position of the fleet and counterattack with all your might1

Just wait for this round of shock to pass, and your fleet will turn. You can use the upper hand position to force the opponent to the strait position. Squeeze their space to move, then use the big formation to crush them!

"Full speed, broadside 1

It turned out that from the very beginning, Jiang Qin and Zhang Zhiyuan had the idea of a broadside battle, so they chose the relatively narrow sea near the mouth of the strait, and attacked from this side, taking advantage of the upper hand, so that the other party could not avoid entering the broadside battle.

"Damn! Forget about that. They want to fight the broadside 1

Seeing that Jiang Qin's warship did not deviate to the sides, taking advantage of the range advantage occupied by the upper wind to launch a long-range attack, it was facing his own fleet. Attacking and rushing straight at the same time, the fleet commander of the Hammer of War immediately understood that the opponent was going to fight a separator battle.

In previous battles, turn-based ship battles would never have a broadside battle, and the closest situation was just a mutual fire between ships that were close together, but in real-time battles, the situation was different, because the opponent would jump over and slash, and their own ships were equipped with low-level ranged troops of various races.

You can't expect a crossbowman or an archmage to shoot at an enemy army with a short knife and axe at close range, right? In particular, those long-range shooters with group damage characteristics have no melee ability at all.

Unfortunately, now the fleet commander found out that the enemy's intentions were too late, and the two fleets became entangled with each other almost instantly.

"Throw 1

With a shout, several anchor chains connected to ropes were thrown at the enemy ship, and with the sound of tuk tuk, they clung to the opponent's hull!

"Pull, pull hard! Be careful to hit 1

"Bang 1

With a loud bang, the two warships collided violently, and the crews of both sides shook violently, but the experienced side would stabilize as soon as possible.

"Crossbow arrows, shoot 1

"Jump helper! Jump Helper! Attack 1

The soldiers who were still looking at the skeleton archers on the opposite side with some fear were yelled at by their superiors, and subconsciously jumped over, and then raised their axes and fell, and with a click, they cut down a skeleton soldier with a bow to the ground, and the timidity in their hearts suddenly dispersed, and they suddenly became arrogant, and they roared and threw themselves into the sea of skeleton soldiers.

One warship after another caught and fought each other, and some even connected with two enemy ships to open their bows left and right, and the battle changed from a naval battle to a land battle at sea, and the inferior combat strength of the enemy fleet was magnified.

What's even more pitiful is that one person commands a hundred warships, if it is a team, yaw, attack or something, it is fine, but it is simply impossible to command a local battle, even if they can't command the battle on their own ship, let alone command the fleet battle.

"Hey, devil player, look at knife 1

Ding/The blonde player used his sword to hold the opponent's short knife in time, and he should now be glad that he was a knight and not a magician.

"Notes, blind! Hey. I split 1

The blonde player, who had lost his eyesight, was horrified and hurriedly raised his sword to block upwards, but his opponent stabbed him from the middle palace.

"You're a liar1

The blonde player reluctantly complained about his first true otherworldly enemy, and then returned to the otherworldly world to be reborn.

"Haha, it's just a lie to you two people! I kill 1

The same battles take place in every corner of the entire battlefield, and the mage player can also bombard and kill several enemy soldiers, but the knight type is always played to death by the opponent's skills, and if you really want to compete in combat skills, in fact, they are not opponents yet, especially those aboriginal generals, which is called a fierce one.

The battle lasted about an hour, and the hand-to-hand combat was basically over, and some of the enemy troops who had escaped the net fled to the north, and Jiang Qin immediately ordered the fleet to be reorganized, untie the connection with the enemy's unmanned ships, turn away from the battlefield, and pursue the fleeing enemy army.

At this time, the enemy detachment that bypassed from the north of Emerald Island had appeared from the junction of sea and sky, and the second battle began soon, although the hammer of the god of war had already made certain preparations and had the upper hand first, but after a round of exchanges, the positions of the two sides were exchanged, and the enemy troops who were originally slow to change formations were quickly caught up by Jiang Qin, and the two sides fell into a broadside battle again.

The battle lasted until the evening, and at sunset, the battlefield where the original shouts of killing was now extremely quiet, and the survivors had no desire to speak, just laughed at each other, silently packed up the spoils, and then tied up the warships that the enemy could still use with ropes, ready to tow them back to the port to repair, those who were seriously damaged, they could only be ignited, adding a lot of torches to the gradually darkening sea.

"Heavy losses, ah1 Zhang Zhiyuan muttered.

Jiang Qin twitched the corners of his mouth, the statistics of the battle report just now showed that his fleet had lost three-quarters, and now there were less than eighty warships left, but the deaths of soldiers and sailors were less than three-quarters, only about one-third, and the opponent's nearly 10,000 warships were all wiped out, and the results were brilliant!

"President Zhang, what about the losses of the guilds?"

Zhang Zhiyuan sighed, raised the statistical table in his hand, and said painfully:

"Now there are nearly six hundred warships left, and this includes yours, we have stopped more than ten and eight stops, miserable 1

"But the enemy army is completely destroyed! We still won 1

"But the enemy army is recovering very quickly, in less than two months, the enemy army will have thousands of warships, and their combat power will gradually increase, next time, the result will not be like this, right?"

"Perhaps, but so what! We have no choice but to fight. I suggest that this time we capture more than 5,000 warships, and after repairing, we will give priority to the Inhumans who have lost their ships, and the loot will also be tilted in favor of the Inhumans, so that more Inhumans will come to fight on the sea, and if we do not fight to the end, the victory or defeat will not be predictable1

Zhang Zhiyuan was stunned and said solemnly: "The general is right, it is not until the last moment, and the victory or defeat is unpredictable. ”

The battle of the Hucui Strait almost completely disabled the fleets of both warring sides, and it can be calculated that in the next month, the other side will have more than 3,000 warships, and Zhang Zhiyuan's side will have an advantage in the number of captured warships, and there will be five or six thousand, but in another month, the two sides will be equal, and then the opposite side will surpass the past.

But at least for these two months, the sea on the side of Dahan should be calm, and in the case of insufficient military strength, the enemy on the opposite side will definitely not dare to attack in a big way.

Jiang Qin and Zhang Zhiyuan used the fortress on Cuidao to establish a port and began to extend the frontier of logistics support to Cuidao, but neither of them had an idea on Tiger Island, and now their troops were precious, so they were not willing to consume it, but the two were very interested in clearing and capturing pirates, in order to enrich the population and sailors of Cuidao Harbor.

As for the camp left by the enemy on the island, both of them felt that it should be kept for the time being, and they also wanted to see what the opponent could do with this base, and only by fully understanding the enemy could they better fight the enemy.

As for Jack and the other marines who were thrown on the island, they were doing the work of pioneers at the moment, yes, the problems encountered here were problems they had never encountered before, and every day they were tormented by such and such strange problems, and sometimes they even prayed that the enemy troops on the other side of the mountain would come over and send them back to the other side of the space-time landmark for free!

What are these problems, in the words of these Marines, 'biological and human problems'! To be continued...
