Chapter 166: The Decisive Battle (Part II)
System: Kill 100 British Navy and gain +1 morale
After receiving the announcement of the system, the players in the British camp immediately let out a burst of cheers.
Most of the credit goes to Nelson and his Royal Navy, but the player's contribution to this is very limited.
With the same number of troops, there are probably few people in the whole world who will be Nelson's opponent.
About ten minutes later, the battlefield sounded again with a system announcement.
System: Kill 100 French Navy and gain +1 morale
The players of the French camp were aggrieved for a long time, and at this time suddenly broke out, and the huge sound almost overshadowed the roar of artillery fire.
Nelson looked at the sawdust of the wreckage in front of his fleet, and his heart became more and more solemn.
In the battle just now, in order to win this point of morale, the French players launched a fierce attack regardless of casualties, and under the cover of the French navy, they brought a lot of losses to their own side.
Truguet was a very intelligent and realistic man, who knew that his command skills were not comparable to Nelson's, and gave up early on to defeat his opponents in this area.
But he is very good at using the advantages he has used, using the large army of players, and he can also achieve his own goals.
The French Navy is fighting very steadily, and Truguet will not give his opponent a chance to fight a decisive battle without absolute certainty.
He just wants to use the advantages of his players, little by little, to consume the opponent's strength, until the opponent is weak, and then launch the final general attack.
Nelson knew very well what kind of idea his old opponent would play, and even if there were millions of players on the other side to help him, he didn't care about it.
On the contrary, he was more worried about the situation on both wings.
He had a hunch that it was the key to the victory of this war.
Nelson led the main fleet of the Chinese army to hold back millions of players and the main force of the French navy, which undoubtedly greatly reduced the pressure on the two wings.
Due to the large number of players concentrated in the middle, the two wings of the battlefield, the strength of the two sides is relatively balanced, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.
And during this period of time, Wang Hao and the others have also gained well, and the Holy Blood Combined Fleet is growing rapidly in a snowballing way.
So far, there have been more than 8,000 ships following Wang Hao.
Most of them are scattered players who participate in the war alone, and there are also guild elites who have been broken up.
These people have different identities and nationalities, and there is no need to think about it if they want to command freely, all Wang Hao can do is to let them sail in the same direction and shell in the same direction, no matter how complicated the instructions are, it is impossible for this miscellaneous fleet to do it.
Everywhere the fleet under Wang Hao's command passed, someone would shout loudly and appeal, and the content was only nine words.
"If you want to fight the French, follow me."
Not everyone who hears this sentence will lean in, but it cannot be denied that this very simple sentence does seem to have a kind of magical magic, allowing some players who have no sense of belonging to find the backbone, attracting more and more people to gather here.
On this battlefield of several million people, one or two thousand ships are inconspicuous, but in the local battlefield, this force has already gained a lot of weight.
Wang Hao led more than 10,000 ships on the left flank battlefield, he did not look for a large fleet of French players for a decisive battle, but kept shuttling, occasionally helping a small group of surrounded friendly troops, and gradually unifying the scattered ships.
When there were more than 30,000 ships following the Holy Blood Combined Fleet, Wang Hao decisively gave up the action of continuing to collect the remnants of the army, firstly, the scale of the team was large, and it had gradually attracted the attention of some large French guilds, and if he was not careful, he might fall into the encirclement and suppression of the opponent.
The second is that the scattered gangs that are relatively close have been almost contained, and if they want to continue to operate, they will have to take greater risks, which is very uneconomical.
Finally, there is no need to call in more people.
At present, although the number of this fleet is large, the command is a big problem, and the more people there are, the more chaotic it becomes, and he is very suspicious that if he continues to recruit people, his actual combat strength will increase or decrease.
Moreover, these forces were more than enough for what he was going to do.
Directly in front of the French right-wing fleet there was a vacuum of small size, in which occasional British ships appeared, and the next moment they would be hit hard by the French fleet.
After seeing the power of these French navies, some people had to give up the idea of attacking alone.
In the eyes of these people, if they want to break the French right flank fleet, they must mobilize at least more than 100,000 players to do it.
The current battlefield is staggered, not to mention that there are no 200,000 players, even if it can be done, as long as the NPC fleet supports for a little longer, the attacking fleet will face the risk of being flanked by the front and rear.
Wang Hao led a fleet of more than 30,000 to start the operation, they moved in one direction, but they no longer avoided the battle, as long as they saw the French navy along the way, they did not intend to let go of any of them.
It took 15 minutes to defeat the French fleet of about 3,000 in the first pair of Liang, and its own losses were 3,005.
The strength of the second opponent has reached 5,000 searches, and it took 18 minutes to lose 6,000 of its own.
But what appeared in front of Wang Hao now was a fleet with a considerable number of ships, and judging from the opponent's formation, this time it was a guild force.
Guilds with more than 10,000 people are not much weaker than they are.
When someone in the team asked if he wanted to bypass this fleet, Wang Hao's answer was only two words - attack.
In order to better command, Wang Hao once again divided the Holy Blood Combined Fleet into two parts, one under the command of Kirwin and one under the command of Wang Hao.
Behind the two fleets, there were a large number of player legions, and the order Wang Hao gave them was very simple, follow the ships in front and attack towards the place covered by the artillery fire of the ships in front.
Lo and behold, it's that simple.
Although this did not bring out all the strength of these player legions, and because of the formation, they suffered a lot of damage under the blow of enemy fire, but they achieved results that they could never have dreamed of.
They were originally the lowest level of the entire battlefield, one layer worse than cannon fodder, like those players in front of the French Chinese army, at least they had the qualifications to become cannon fodder, but they didn't.
If Wang Hao hadn't appeared, they would have either died in obscurity and quit the battle, or they would have stayed in a corner, looking blankly at the surrounding battlefield.
But now, they have the feeling that they are in control of their destiny.
Three thousand, five thousand, and more than 10,000 in front of you.
In the hearts of many people, I am afraid that they can't help but think that after killing so many enemies, even if they die now, they will earn it.
The battle lasted for more than twenty minutes, and under the condition that Wang Hao and Kerryn seemed to have the spirit to cooperate with the attack, the fleet of a certain guild that was blocking the way was disabled and retreated to the rear in a gray manner.
And the losses on Wang Hao's side were equally heavy, and when he decided to face the guild fleet, he was already ready to lose 20,000 or even more ships.
As long as his own fleet is still there, he will not worry about the losses of those subsidiary fleets, this is a training exercise, and it is also a test for those people, otherwise, with these rabble, even if there are tens of thousands of people, it will be difficult to shake the French right-wing fleet.
As for the addition of the fleet, he was not worried, due to three good victories in a row, coupled with the appearance of the players of the subsidiary fleet, a large number of players enthusiastically joined in.
It even includes a small guild fleet.
Therefore, the number of auxiliary fleets has increased instead of decreasing, and the individual average has also increased significantly.
The battlefield is the best practice ground, and after so many battles in a row, as long as you can persist in surviving, your strength will improve a lot.
If time permits, Wang Hao still wants to lead this group of people to hone two more battles, but unfortunately the battle situation from the middle and the right flank is not very good, but it finally made him make up his mind and plan to make a move against the French right-wing detachment.
Wang Hao's choice of this offensive route was also exquisite, when they occupied the position of that guild fleet, the flank of the French right-wing detachment was completely exposed to their field of vision.
As usual, the fleet was divided into two halves, Wang Hao and Kerrwyn each took one and went hand in hand, like two sharp knives, and plunged into the waist of the French NPC fleet.
In the face of the surprise attack of tens of thousands of British warships, the commander of the French right flank fleet, although not dismayed, quickly ordered the fleet to turn the bow and gun muzzle, ready to annihilate the invading enemy in one fell swoop.
Rumble! Rumble!
The deafening sound of shelling sounded again, and many players noticed the battle over there.
Anyone with a little military vision can see that the British player fleet is a makeshift patchwork force, and it would be a fool's dream to defeat the French right-wing fleet with such a fleet.
Compared to the disdainful smiles on the faces of the French players, the expressions on the faces of the British players are much more complicated, and whether this is brave or stupid may only be known until the results are in.
Under the continuous sound of cannons, Wang Hao looked at the fireballs that kept appearing around him, and one after another friendly ships were sunk, but his face was not moved at all.
This had long been expected by him, if he wanted to defeat the high-level NPC fleet with a low-level fleet, he had to exchange his life, and even he himself had the possibility of dying in this battle.
As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, Wang Hao's fleet also launched a counterattack.
The durability of third-order ships is generally more than eight hundred, and the endurance of fourth-order warships is even more than one thousand.
With the average damage of Wang Hao's gang at about 30 points, that is, unless there are thirty ammunition falling on a French battleship at the same time.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to inflict fatal damage on it.
Compared to the hundreds of fireballs on the British side, the French NPC fleet was only set on fire by the unlucky eggs, and the exchange ratio reached almost one hundred to one. (To be continued.) )
