Chapter 619: Planck
On the Bloodoath, the one-eyed dragon's first mate spun around the deck like there were no flies, a nervous murmur coming out of his mouth
"What a dream, I was able to take the initiative to attack those damn Kurtilas mongrels!"
The surrounding blood elf sailors had a hint of disdain and disdain in their eyes. In fact, until now, they had not been able to accept the fact that they were led by a group of pirates, although they had temporarily succumbed due to Xie Feng's strong pressure.
"The magic-driven battleship shark is on it, I'm really living for nothing!" The one-eyed dragon continued its behavior that lasted for almost half an hour: "What a bunch of stupid long ears, with such good ship weapons, and not the number one power on the sea?!" What the hell~"
Quickly pounce in front of the hideous cannon, stick your head through the muzzle, and scream with a dull evil scream
"Mine is mine from today onwards" "Haha, no one can snatch it away!" Neither can the chief! β
The one-eyed dragon at this moment is like a Somali freelancer who suddenly became the captain of an aircraft carrier in the Pacific Fleet.
"If this performance is good, I don't think General Alex will skimp on the reward of one or two battleships~"
Garinde angrily pulled the embarrassing guy out of the barrel and threw it to the ground, with a look of anger in his eyes.
The former leader of the Quellins Hut Rangers, as Xie Feng's old subordinate, was also in the ranks of the fleet overseers at this time. Of course, it's not just these pirates who do whatever they want, but also the unruly Blood Elf soldiers, and it's obviously the latter!
"Beauty, how can he be so generous?!" The one-eyed dragon didn't pay attention at all, grinning and patting its buttocks.
Garinde nodded haughtily: "If you can satisfy him, this is not an impossible reward." β
As a ranger, she was completely unable to comprehend the pirates' desire for weapons and good ships, and her tone was impatient.
"What are the mud-legged men who have annihilated Kurtiras?!" The one-eyed dragon drew its machete, and a fierce momentum swooped in its face.
Even the outstanding Silver Moon Ranger couldn't help but change his color when he fought for a long time with the sea, the storm, and the powerful enemy who fought to the death for a long time, and for the first time paid a little attention to these bug-like pirates.
Just as she was about to speak, a shrill alarm bell rang out from the watchtower, drawing her attention
Looking at the banner on the watchtower, the one-eyed dragon's face changed slightly, and he kicked away the stunned blood elf sailors beside him: "Miscellaneous people, move me and prepare for battle!" Glancing at the distant coastline, he said, "A quarter of an hour to go, and land is almost there!" β
Hearing this, Garinde's face changed slightly and stared at him strangely: "Are you sure you don't have elven blood?!" β
At this distance, even as an Eighth-Order Ranger, she couldn't see the coastline. But this pirate
"I smell the smell of dirt!" The one-eyed dragon had a look of enjoyment on his face, indescribably intoxicated.
Time flies, on the island of Sharantis, the coalition soldiers who are building a base in full swing, are horrified to discover, in the depths of the ocean in the distance, thirty unicorn warships, slowly peeking out of the thick fog with hideous fangs
"Enemy Attack !!" The cacophony of sirens instantly resounded throughout the pirates, and the sentry tore open the broken gong's throat and woke everyone up.
The construction site of the coalition army, which had no order at all, suddenly became a mess, and there was a rout before the battle
And then the roar of artillery suddenly remembered!
This intensified the panic, and the sappers ran to the rear of the island for their lives.
However, after running for a long time, they were stunned to find that they only heard the roar of artillery, but no shells exploded around them! And then
The whistle sounded, and in the humble water wall of the harbor, the entrenched Kultiras battleship was the first to attack!
On the seven battleships, the gunners methodically adjusted the firing angles, the sailors skillfully pulled up the sails, corrected the degrees, and the sailors also came out of the cabins in full gear, everyone performed their duties, and although the deck looked chaotic, it was with amazing efficiency, while firing guns to block the enemy ships, and at the same time sailing out of the harbor in an orderly manner to seize space
In the case of a sudden attack, he reacted quickly and fought back brazenly, fully demonstrating the elite of the Kul Tiras Naval Army, as well as the confidence in naval battles and the pride of being invincible! The chaos was suppressed in an instant.
Despite the strong firepower of the Kurtiras fleet, the naval artillery hit rate at this time was still in the stage of a tragic hit rate of nine points by luck and one point by experience, and it did not have the power to sink a battleship with one shot.
The brazen counterattack had little effect except for splashing a large splash of water and making the blood elf naval rookies scramble for a while, and after adapting, they gradually launched a counterattack
However, compared to the enemy, the hit rate of the blood elves is even more miserable, and it is impossible to move while firing the cannon, otherwise a bad one may bombard his own people. And all kinds of small situations emerge in endlessly, and the angry Planck is crazy!
The comparison between the two sides is clear at a glance, the huge number of thirty blood elves, most of which are targets that cannot be moved, but the Kul Tiras naval army is fighting back, evading, getting closer, and fighting with ease!
If the blood elves were not suppressed in number, they didn't know how miserable they would be.
Seeing this situation, the leaders of the coalition forces on the island of Sharantis finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
At first, the Blood Elves attacked in a rage, scaring them into abandoning the camp and fleeing back to land. Only now, a flock of landlubbers has come to understand that naval battles are not everything in numbers.
"I'm sorry for my suspicions, Lotherma." Erigor bowed his head slightly: "The Blood Elf Navy is really not lacking in training. β
Originally, he wanted to say that it was vulnerable, but after thinking about it, he changed the wording temporarily.
And LothermaγAt this time, I don't know how to describe my mood, happy? Or bitter?!
He told the coalition, the Blood Elf Navy, that it could be ignored. There has been no war for hundreds of years, and all elites have basically been scrapped.
So the coalition forces had the audacity to set up a base in Sharantis, and the arrogant Kurtilas fleet did not leave half of the patrol boats or even watchtowers on the sea! So much so that he was almost attacked and capsized in the gutter.
If the base is really broken, then he will definitely be excluded from the decision-making level of the coalition forces!
But now that he saw the lame performance of the Blood Elf Navy, he couldn't be happier
"You're in luck! Ranger. Nicholas made no secret of his hostility and outspoken ridicule.
Even with Lotherma's forbearance, he couldn't stand it at this time, and couldn't help but retort: "Don't be too happy! It's not very combative, but at least it proves that it's not a fool like you who is commanding the fleet! It's best to watch your head. β
It was only discovered that it was able to reach the range of attack without a sound, and at least the commander of this fleet was extremely familiar with the various elements of naval warfare, if not for the lame reinforcement under his command. It's hard to say how it ends
Out of the knowledge of the Morning Striker General, Lotherma was almost certain that this sneak attack would not be anticlimactic!
But Nicholas and others did not have this awareness. At least for the time being, almost ninety percent of the people on the mainland perceive Xie Feng as a sinister and vicious conspirator, not a commander who wins all battles! For though he was known for his resourcefulness, he did not once calculate everyone by overwhelming oddity. It has also been defeated and damaged many times. and even almost cornered.
But except for the high-level blood elves who directly benefited, no one noticed or thought that although there were constant setbacks, it was Alex who only knew conspiracy and cunning every time! Or maybe they don't want to think about it from the bottom of their hearts.
Lotherma's angry reminder not only did not arouse everyone's vigilance, but made them more relaxed
The battle continues, the commander of the Kurtilas Navy is in high spirits, and our faces are turning green!
Watching the enemy's fleet attack like a bamboo, several times the firepower on his side did not have half a role.
Within a quarter of an hour, two battleships had broken masts, three sails were on fire, and one was leaking.
And on the other side, the seven battleships are still alive and well! With such combat effectiveness, Planck is too lazy to scold
"Why don't we retreat for a while?!" Gavin and Galen looked at each other and cautiously suggested.
He is now completely dead to his own combat effectiveness! It's better to fight honestly on land: "Do you think these wastes can outrun each other?!" Although it was worse than he expected, Planck was still calm, did not lose his sense of proportion, and said angrily: "Give up the naval battle? Let their artillery fire directly cover the island ?! β
So what to do? Feeling a little vain under his feet, these two invincible Spellbreaker captains are also a little weak.
"Order, Blood Oath, Blood Eagle, Blood Wing, lead the Third Fleet forward, stop them!"
The flag was raised, and soon, ten battleships gave up the blind shelling and killed with great momentum. This simple action can be carried out by the sailors, but after being hit by a round of artillery attacks, they are already close to each other. And then
"O God! Didn't let them attack with suicide! Planck looked at the fleet, which was rushing past at an unabated speed, and wrenched his beard.
Xie Feng said that as long as the result is achieved, it doesn't matter how much the navy is sacrificed. But does Planck dare to take it seriously? It's going to be a lot of death
Fortunately, the Seventh Fleet is not a mallet, as the distance approaches, the artillery hits of both sides increase, and the numerical superiority begins to show, as long as the artillery of the blood elves in the broadside battle is basically useless, of course, it is happy.
Skillfully adjusting the angle and speed, and then colliding, the seven ships are cleverly connected to the Blood Elf battleship.
Earlier, the two sides that were close had already tilted each other for a long-range attack, and at this time the melee units were already on standby, sharpening their knives and waiting for the ship to dock
After a few violent collisions, more than a dozen huge warships finally twisted together, and then the tragedy repeated again!
The Kurtiras sailors were well prepared, the violent shaking had little effect, and they raised their weapons and killed them menacingly. On the other hand, the blood elves, almost ninety percent of them slipped directly in the impact, and before they could get up, the weapon with cold light slashed and attacked~
"I have a headache," Planck resignedly covered his forehead and fell to the sky.
Originally, there was a glimmer of expectation for the blood elves' powerful combat power and weapons and equipment. But now in the telescope, those blood elves who are staggering, who can't use thirty percent of their strength, who are almost slaughtered by one side, and mages who can't use spells at all, are completely dead.
"The fleet is encircled, and the Dragon Eagle Knights attack!" weakly carried out the last killer weapon given to him by Xie Feng.
The remaining dozen or so warships, which had lost their containment and could not continue their shelling, approached the battlefield in a glaive shape under the command of Purran.
Among them, on the five warships that were relatively large and nearly twice as large, there was a sudden sound of earth-shattering eagle roars, hundreds of dragon eagles, and blood elf blasters soared into the air, and after reaching the sky above the battlefield, clusters of arcane bombs shining with seven-colored light fell accurately on the seven warships of the Kul Tiras naval army
Boom~~Boom~~Boom~~~Boom~~~Boom~~~
A series of explosions, sudden attacks, and focused clean-ups, the few powerful ranged weapons on board, such as ballistas and harpoons, against enemies in the air and in the water, were largely completely scrapped. The artillery doesn't care, even if this thing is too high, the muzzle can't become an anti-aircraft gun, and there is no threat to the dragon eagle knights at all~
The arcane flames rose in the blink of an eye, spreading throughout the deck and even the cabin, and the Kultiras sailors, who had just been shouting excitedly to kill, fell into the territory in an instant! Thanks to the lame combat effectiveness of the Blood Elf sailors, almost none of them hit the Kul Tiras battleship, so there is no possibility of accidental injury. I have to say that it is also a kind of luck
The use of the Air Force was entirely based on Xie Feng's proposal, but it was immediately approved by Planck.
The idea is entirely thanks to the behemoth that once symbolized the hegemony of the seas - aircraft carriers!
Compared to the various war machines and tactics on land, Azeroth's navy and air force can only be considered in the embryonic state. None of the Aborigines ever thought that they could be united with each other. And how many adventurers can reach this status?! And in the cognition of most adventurers, aircraft carriers are antique-level existences that have long been implemented, except for a few military nerds, how many people know?!
Magical power puts an end to speed, and the Eagle Knight, the lightest of the air forces, ensures the number of 'air forces'. The power of the arcane bombardment, combined with the suddenness of the close-range take-off, made Kurtilas doomed to a tragic fate!
The situation was reversed in an instant, and the melee ships that had been ordered were desperately entangled, making it impossible for the Kurtilas naval force to get out easily. The arcane bombs rained down on his head again, and in just a few minutes he was on the verge of collapse.
The Kurtilas fleet had lost its effective response in the chaos, but the coalition base on the island of Sharantis could not let them be wiped out, and the grim-faced Nicholas finally admitted Lotherma's warning.
After a burst of chickens and dogs jumped, the coalition camp gathered the only two hundred or so griffons as fast as they could, and flew towards the battlefield!
The bombing missions were all physically weak Arcane Demolitionists, and the Dragon Eagle had a certain gap in combat effectiveness compared to the Griffin, so the air battle was bound to be defeated, so the enemy just approached, and the 'bomber' immediately fled
But before they could get happy, the blood elf fleet around them swooped over, and then
"Shoot these big birds down for me!" Planck's humble voice resounded throughout the battlefield through amplification magic.
The monstrous birdwing ballistas on all the battleships were launched at almost the same time! The saw blade that covered the sky and the sun suddenly cut through the bloody rain.
The improvised griffin knights were so weak that they couldn't make the griffin knights fall into the sea like dumplings and stain the whole body of water red
The others suddenly turned into birds and beasts, and they no longer dared to stay on the battlefield. But even so, there is not one in ten who can escape and return to the base in the end. The Kurtilas sailors, who had just received hope, finally gave up completely. In the can't lift the slightest fighting spirit.
When the Blood Elves were excitedly trying to take advantage of the victory to pursue and pull out the enemy stronghold on the island of Sharantis, Planck, who was about to win a great victory, ordered the sinking of five Kurtiras warships, which had lost resistance, and gave the order to retreat
Although it was a little unreasonable, after truly realizing the essence of his rookie in naval warfare and recognizing Planck's ability, the captains of the warships still slowly formed a team and withdrew from the battlefield.
As soon as the formation had been readjusted and the return had begun to accelerate, a huge fleet of forty and twenty warships appeared in the southwest and southeast directions, and they swooped down viciously
"Stormwind Fleet?? Kul Tiras?? Jiawen wiped the cold sweat on his head with some fear, and did not forget to shout, or use it to cheer himself: "Quel'Salas, forever!! β
Planck rolled his eyes: "That's the fleet of the Minethil Harbor garrison and the Hand of Tyr. β
Throwing the musket, the yin and yang added in a strange way: "If it is Tanred, he will directly attack Queldanas Island and give you a refreshing popping chrysanthemum haha~ bursting chrysanthemum!" β
"Humph! Have you tried?! Galen maliciously pointed at a certain area: "It seems that Tamred has made a deep impression on you!" β
Amid the noise of the commanders, the heckling of the soldiers, and the sparse sound of artillery, the fleet marched towards the island of Kui with the sun setting. The dragon eagle knights who were hovering around also found their motherships to land.
In addition to the nearly 1,000 people lost in the broadside battle, this operation can be regarded as a rare victory! Although, if you compare the losses suffered by both sides, aside from those griffin knights, the blood elves are no better than the Kurtiras army
But after all, it was a victory. Gave a heavy blow to the morale of the enemy. The morale of the blood elves skyrockets!
"Next. It's up to you, ma'am~" Xie Feng condescendedly and stared at the deep sea demon in front of him. (To be continued.) )
