Chapter 257: Annihilation of King's Landing Fleet (Part II)

Ten three-masted warships broke away from the Gripen fleet and marched towards the coastline of King's Landing.

Although the sea breeze was not strong, the new type of pure sail battleship was still start-up and sailing at an astonishing speed.

The small daredevils of the King's Landing fleet are struggling to row towards the head of the Gripen fleet.

However, when they found that the first battleships in the opponent's fleet began to raise their sails, it took less than a moment for those battleships with huge towers to complete the initial acceleration.

The King's Landing sailors in the dinghy had earthy faces.

Looking at the tall warship that suddenly took off and suddenly ushered in, everyone's face showed a look of disbelief and horror.

"The speed of these warships, how can it be so fast. ”

"How? I can't even see the ripples of the oars stirring in the bottom compartment of their ships, oh my God, are these oarless ships?"

"It's too fast! it's fast! It's so hot, it's going to hit it. ”

Dozens of small King's Landing warships, the shock was followed by a flurry of panic.

More than 1,000 meters away from the sea area in front of these small battlefields with chaotic navigation, ten warships, including the "Breakthrough" and "Charge", were sailing faster and faster at the moment.

Almost in a few moments, the fleet approached a hundred meters from these small ships, which were not ready for battle.

The battleship 'Breakthrough', which was responsible for the first round of impact of the Gripen fleet, was speeding through the waves, and its speed was rising, but the hull did not shake too much.

On the command platform of the battleship, flags fluttered at this moment, and soldiers stood in the center of the long deck, and spears were dazzling.

Near the decks on both sides of the stairs below the ship, a group of bowstring-wielding drawers are ready to shoot cold arrows.

On the deck, hundreds of troops lined up, flanked by distant crossbowmen hiding behind the recessed battlements on the deck, dressed in gray-black leather armor, sword and shield soldiers in white armor in the center, and in addition to a long, narrow sailor's scimitar with a sheath hanging from each waist.

Although hundreds of people stood, there was silence in the battleship, and there was a solemn and quiet atmosphere.

"Prepare to ramble!"

The shouts of the Herald of the Breakthrough were particularly loud at this time, and the sound echoed far and wide in the calm sea.

The enemy's small warships, which had no way out, adjusted their course one after another at this moment, choosing to ram the ten Gripen battleships led by the Breakthrough at the end of the afterglow of life.

However, this was in vain.

The difference in the physique of the battleship is vividly reflected in the high-speed voyage.

The sailed Gripen fleet enveloped these small boats that rushed from the bow, still overcoming obstacles and breaking the waves, and the speed was almost undiminished.

Some of the small boats completed the impact, snapping their hulls under the bow of the Gripen, and then, in the face of a huge head-on impact, the boats were instantly torn apart.

Poof!

Knock knock!

Click!

After a few breaths, there was a burst of crashing and twisting sounds, and it suddenly exploded on the surface of the sea.

The boats that chose to hit were shattered in the blink of an eye, turning into the original appearance of the boat, becoming pieces of broken planks, scattered in all directions in the sea in an instant.

The cries of drowning, and the terrible howls of soldiers who had been ignited by the oil from their own boats, echoed in a large area of smoke billowing from the sea.

There are very few small ships that can successfully complete the collision between the high-speed voyage of the Gripen battleship.

More small boats, only to be able to catch up on the waves and before they had time to align their course, quickly fell into the gap between the ten Gripen ships.

Of course, they escaped the fate of being crushed by the giant ship, but it does not mean that they have any hope of living.

Seeing the enemy boats enter the sides of the battleship.

The heralds aboard the Breakthrough and the Charge uttered high-pitched commands again.

"Prepare to attack!"

Immediately afterwards, the flag bearer began to wave the red battle order flag in his hand, which was only used in battle.

"Ready!"

"Ignite the fire!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

The red battle order flag in the hands of the flag bearer was first raised high in the herald's shout, and after a while, it fell heavily.

The crossbowmen on the Breacher, ready to act in unison, ignited the arrows on the igniters placed behind the deck, and then quickly pulled the crossbow or released the bows.

"Whoosh!"

A dense rain of fire, the moment it passed through the dwarf fleet released by King's Landing's fleet, it suddenly poured down to the sides.

On both sides of the battleship, the small boats loaded with fire oil and firewood quickly ignited in the rain of fire, and the sailless boats suddenly ignited a fire on the huge sea, black smoke billowed out, and the fire reflected on the sea.

"Damn! I'm on fire!"

"Ahh

"I don't want to die like this!!"

On the surface of the sea of flames, a series of terrible screams suddenly sounded, howling and cursing, and this moment became the dance music of the waves.

Black smoke rose and obscured the entire sky.

Under the black smoke, the ten warships at the head of the Gripen fleet, shrouded in thick smoke, easily cleared the channel, but the battleships did not stop for a moment, and the queue of ten warships, like the open arms of the demons on the sea, pushed away the black clouds and mist, and continued to move forward in unison.

"Sailors inspect the cabin and repair the bilge!"

"Lower the auxiliary sails, and ahead is the enemy's first main line of defense. ”

"The bow ballista is in position!"

"Crossbowmen load the strings! Get ready for the next round of shooting!"

"Melee soldiers!

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

On each battleship, a herald with various flags ran back and forth between the deck, the ship, and the bilge.

The sound of leather boots rubbing against the wooden planks galloped between the Gripen fleet navy and sailors, while repeating again and again the captain, the commander, the latest order that had just been deployed.

The auxiliary sail is lowered first.

The speed of the battleship running at high speed has dropped a lot.

From this point on, each Gripen battleship is about to enter an independent combat system that claims to be one.

Because, not far ahead, the fifty ships waiting on the surface of the sea, the first line of defense of the main navy of King's Landing, with uneven brigs and three masts, are ready for battle.

The commander of the battleship "Stormtrooper", Wakasan, finally confirmed the distance between the brother battleships on the left and right, and then turned his head to look at the flank fleet that was closely following on the left and right, and then the flank fleet that was closely following on both sides after arriving at speed.

He quietly left the command tower room, and under the escort of his own soldiers, walked up to the command platform at the top of the tower.

Wakasan, who was covered in armor and carrying a long sword at his waist, reached out and held the wooden railing in front of the command platform tightly, and looked down at the fleet soldiers on the deck who were ready to go.

Wakasan breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and stared closely at the position of the enemy fleet in front of the huge Gripen flag on the bow of the ship, 1,500 meters away.

From now on, everything that should have been deployed in advance has been deployed, and the real combat command no longer needs the assistance of the commanding flag.

The real battle is about to start, Ruosan said to the soldiers in a deep voice to make the final mobilization, "Although I have great confidence in the soldiers on our stormtrooper, but the enemy is ten times larger than ours after all, and the main fleet led by the commander-in-chief will not be able to give us more help for a while, from this moment on, everyone must be ready to participate in the battle." ”

"Flag bearers and sailors should also have the awareness to participate in the war at any time. ”

"The herald will pass on my orders, and then get ready for battle!"

"Yes, Captain Commander!"
