Chapter Seventy-Five: No One Shall Leave

The "Chen Cang" troops that landed in Vietnam were all NPC soldiers, and if one died, there would be one less, and it might be easy for 20,000 soldiers to break through Dushan Town, but it would be difficult to block the counterattack of the Dushan Army. Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the landing operation, Mu You, ordered the "Chen Cang" troops to immediately garrison in place, build a military camp and defend the offensive, and set up a temporary dock to prepare to receive a large number of player troops coming by boat behind. It is more professional to fight for people's heads and be cannon fodder or players.

Not to mention that the Dushan Legion really summoned manpower to attack the "Chencang" troops who were building a barracks, the Dushan Fleet also received an order to immediately return to attack the "Chencang" troops from the sea to prevent the Han players from continuing to land.

At this moment, the Dushan fleet found that the Jiuzhuo fleet had blocked its way. There was a fire in the backyard, and the Dushan fleet didn't dare to play any defensive formation, but it couldn't waste precious rescue time by fighting a regular naval battle with the Jiuzhuo fleet here.

So the Dushan fleet was divided into two, with five brigs to contain the Jiuzhuo fleet, and the remaining ten were ready to bypass the battlefield.

The defensive pressure of the "Chen Cang" troops on land is not too large, the narrow tidal flat position called the Dushan Legion can't be put in even if it recruits enough players, and the defenders can't be quickly consumed if the battle line can't be opened, and 20,000 NPC soldiers only need to hold for a day to wait for the support of the Han players.

The real focus of this landing battle is whether the Jiuzhuo fleet can stop the Dushan fleet at sea.

The dhows of the Doyama fleet returned to the port from both sides of the battlefield at speed, but they were stopped by the dloops that came from the support of the archangel fleet. In the middle of the main battlefield, the Dushan fleet divided the fifteen brigs into two routes, Gangzi also responded with a division of troops, and the three brigs were left to deal with the five brigs of the Dushan fleet. He took the remaining six ships to intercept the main force of the Dushan fleet.

In order to prevent the Dushan fleet from breaking through in pieces, the six warships of the Jiuzhuo fleet had been dispersed in advance, and the three formed a formation of two and two, blocking the route of the Dushan fleet.

"The ships pay attention to cover each other, and for a while they engage in battle. The second ship and I will wait for an opportunity to rush in, and when we reach close range, the second ship will aim at the local flagship and use your captain's skills to greet its sails. ”

The task of the Jiuzhuo fleet is to block it, but Gangzi did not plan to fight a defensive battle on the spot, because the number of his warships is too small, and the passive defense will easily ask the Dushan fleet to rush over by dividing the troops. He called the fleet to take an aggressive offensive stance. The three formations can effectively spread out the inner ring that occupies the battlefield to control a large area of the sea, and the Dushan fleet can only break through in the center of the outer circle, otherwise no matter how much the troops are divided and detoured, it is a long detour, which is to give the Jiuzhuo fleet that is flexible in the inner circle a chance to eliminate them one by one.

But this tactic also calls the dispersion of their combat effectiveness, although the three formations can support each other. But the firepower could not be concentrated in the first place. The commander of the Dushan fleet also saw the weakness of this tactic, and ten brigs lined up the battle line and plunged straight along the middle road.

The Zandu Fleet did not divide its forces again, and the six battleships of the Jiuzhuo Fleet began to shrink according to the distance between the two sides, firmly occupying the fastest reaction position.

Gangzi's jellyfish and the second ship formation rushed to the front of each other, and he picked up the binoculars and stared at the movements of the Dushan fleet.

It had already entered the range of the fine iron smoothbore cannon, and the Jiuzhuo fleet did not cross the hull to open fire.

Entering the range of the iron smoothbore guns, the Dushan fleet still advanced without a sideways attack.

The two fleets approached each other quickly. The distance between the two sides is getting shorter and shorter, and Gangzi can already see the bridge of the opponent's flagship, and the opposing fleet commander is also looking at him with a telescope in hand.

Seeing that the other party had turned the bow of the boat to his left. And when it was too close to adjust, Gangzi raised a middle finger at the opponent, and then shouted at the fleet: "Left full rudder!" Left full rudder! Push the starboard gun out and get ready to fire! Ship No. 2! Get your skills ready, the first target is the flagship of the Dushan fleet, and the two of us will scrap him first. ”

The helmsman of the Jellyfish turned the steering wheel desperately. The hull of the Jellyfish tilted and turned at a large angle, and the second ship behind it followed closely. The skillful movements show that the captain above is indeed not a mediocre hand.

The warships of both sides were still approaching, and the Dushan fleet also pushed out the naval guns one after another. The dense barrels of the cannons made Gangzi tremble, and the support of the other two formations would take a little time, which showed that Gangzi had to withstand one or two shelling from the other side's ten brigs at close range with two ships.

"It's going to die! I hope the tactics can work, otherwise my brother is really ...... today"

Gangzi stared at the angle of the shelling of the warships on both sides, and while calculating the best time for shelling, he said to the No. 2 ship: "In case the tactics fail, we will live together in life and be buried together in death, will it be like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turned into butterflies and flew ......." ”

"......" The second ship was silent for a moment, and then an angry female voice came, it turned out to be Tang Yao! Kill you big-headed ghost, you haven't said such an unlucky thing yet, you still dare to use the command channel, I'm here to connect to the legion's united front system, it's good...... They all let people hear. ”

Well? Brother is so difficult that he doesn't use private chat to talk to his younger sister?

At this time, Cadenza appeared on the command channel.

"Butterflies can't be turned into butterflies, two turtles are still possible, Commander Gangzi I hope you can put your mind to this battle, the key to the landing of Dushan is you, my request to you is only to succeed and not to fail, if you two want to flirt and wait for the battle to end, you can do nothing."

Gangzi said, "Boss...... I'm talking to the second ship for a code, don't just interfere with other people's commands! After a while, the shelling missed, and I was not responsible. ”

“……”

As he spoke, the Jellyfish preemptively turned the hull around, and the ten naval guns on the starboard side were aimed at the flagship of the Dushan fleet from the side front, but the Dushan fleet had not yet included the Jellyfish in the artillery firing angle.

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Inspire!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Shooting at extremely close range, there was no problem of missing shells at all, and all 20 shells of the Jellyfish hit the front hull of the flagship of the Dushan fleet, and the front half of the enemy's port side was densely covered with bullet holes, and the four naval guns in front directly failed.

The Jellyfish continued to turn and walked in the direction of the enemy's flagship at a distance of only ten meters, at which time the enemy flagship had already included the Jellyfish in the firing angle of the ship's guns, but the four guns in front could not attack, and only six could open fire.

The "boom, boom, boom and boom......" naval guns fired at close range, hitting the flesh with their fists, projectiles flew between the two ships, and sawdust and debris fell into the sea with a roar. For the same two-masted battleship, the Jellyfish has an advantage in the quantity and quality of naval guns, coupled with the firepower explosion brought by Gangzi's "encouragement", and after a few rounds of artillery matches, it determined its absolute superiority.

At this time, the Jiuzhuo No. 2 ship, which was following the Jellyfish, had also turned its hull, and the guns were about to open fire on the enemy flagship. Gangzi shouted at this time: "The plan has changed, the enemy flagship is a soft-footed shrimp, and this ship can be handed over to me alone, little sister!" Use your captain's skills to attack the second ship of the Dushan fleet. ”

Hearing Gangzi's order, Tang Yao immediately ordered the artillery crew to turn the muzzle of the gun to aim at the low No. 2 ship, and the other party's No. 2 ship had already prepared its artillery, and the artillery bombardment of both sides was fired almost at the same time, and the projectiles of both sides were staggered in the air, and then shot away at their respective targets.

"Chain bounce!"

Tang Yao had already used his skills when he was bombarding, the naval cannon was fired, and the solid iron ball was shot out, and in the process of flying in the air, the shell was divided into two, and there was an iron chain in the middle of the two hemispheres, which rotated rapidly under the action of centrifugal force. The path of the chain ball bomb began to flutter, and at such a close distance, there were several shells that could float more than ten zhang away from the target, and the accuracy was indeed not flattering, no wonder it was necessary to shoot at close range.

Although a few chain balls fired by Tang Yao floated away, it still ensured that six chain balls hit the enemy ship at this distance.

Swirling shells swept over the Doyama-2, twisting all the cables and sails they touched. The stress surface of the sail became smaller, the speed of the ship dropped sharply, and the battleship Dushan, which was closely following at high speed, thrust the bow ramming angle into the butt of the second fleet with one end. The rest of the ships hurriedly dodged to the sides, and the formation of the battle line maintained was instantly scattered.

The remaining two formations of the Jiuzhuo interception fleet had also turned their hulls around and carried out a covering artillery bombardment of the Dushan fleet without pursuing accuracy, in order to cover the separation of Gangzi and Tang Yao.

The flagship of the Dushan fleet has been heavily damaged by the jellyfish, and the posture of the two battleships behind also makes Gangzi feel a chrysanthemum tightness, and then the Dushan battleships behind avoid from both sides, due to the barrier between the flagship and the "conjoined ship", only three brigs came from the side of the jellyfish.

According to the original plan, Gangzi and Tang Yao should now accelerate under the cover of the other two formations to avoid the ship's firing angle and prevent being shelled by other warships of the Dushan fleet, but they did not expect that the high-speed navigation that the Dushan fleet had been maintaining in order to break through caused the two ships to collide, which made Gangzi see the opportunity and decisively gave up the original plan.

Ordered: "The left and right formations continue to increase your firepower output, Xiao Tang will give the enemy No. 2 ship another 'chain ball bomb', those two brigs are temporarily unable to participate in the battle, let's solve their flagships first, pay attention to the enemy's three brigs on the port side, this close distance with our 'turtle heroes' to play artillery battles, they are looking for death." ”

"'Turtle', you're big!' Knight's 'You're big! Don't talk nonsense in the command channel, be serious, the people in the United Front Work Department laughed. The younger sister vented her anger in a captain's skill, and added a "chain ball bomb" to the Dushan No. 2 ship, so the two "conjoined ships" completely fell out of the Dushan fleet, removed the chain ball, pulled out the collision angle, and the crews of the two battleships were busy, and there was no need to consider their threat in a short time.

So Gangzi and Tang Yao grabbed the Dushan flagship and beat them violently, while the three brigs of the Dushan fleet chased up from the side of the two battleships. (To be continued)
