Chapter 1038: Hell Burner
The stone monster grabbed one of the hydra's necks with his other hand, and with a forceful pull, he tore off the snake's head! This stone monster is extremely heroic, fighting two monsters hard, and it doesn't fall behind!
Akon and the others secretly stayed away from the war zone and watched the battle from the sidelines. This one is a good fight! The giant crab was finally smashed by the stone monster with its back shell and head, and the two large claws were also smashed! But the stone monster also paid the price of a leg! The winding tactics of the hydra have no effect on the infinitely powerful stone monster, only the venom can indeed make the body of the stone monster corroded, but it is also very limited, even if the body of the stone monster loses the protection of the runes and is no longer as solid as metal, but it is also made of stone, and the fangs of the hydra can't bite! It's just that the stone monsters lose the ability to recover. The stone legs and feet that were cut off by the cancer can no longer be attached to the body......
The hydra lost the help of the giant crab, and was picked up and smashed to the ground by the stone monster, and the huge stone fist smashed through, and the body was smashed! Nine heads were smashed into meatloaf one by one!
But even if the hydra died, its blood was still highly poisonous, and it continued to erode into the body of the stone monster, constantly corroding it. The stone monster didn't know it, but blindly smashed the hydra into meat sauce, and its body was covered with the venom and flesh of the hydra, and the smelly white smoke kept coming out. In the distance, Akon could even see that there were stone powder and stone flakes on the stone monster's body that kept falling.
"It's time, let's go!" Akon raised his two-handed axe, shouted, and rushed forward first!
The stone monster that lost the protection of the runes was already fragile after being eroded by the venom and flesh of the hydra! And after losing one leg, it has no ability to move! Akon and Greenwing's two-handed axes and two-handed swords easily cut off its other leg! The stone monster that fell to the ground still wielded its stone arm and fired back.
However, when a rope net is attached to it, such a fragile return is difficult to sustain. Before the rope net was torn and corroded, Akon Greenwing and Riyadh Wolf smashed it all together, and finally smashed the stone monster into pieces! I guess it can't stick anymore! Everyone collapsed on the beach exhausted......
"Is the ship repaired......" Regulus asked.
Rebecca flicked her red hair and ran over, "Report to Uncle Akon, it's time to set sail......"
…………
Drake really deserves to be called the 'Demon King of the Sea'! A round of raids that dispersed the Spanish fleet. However, he found no trace of a landing force in the port. So he did not chase the fleeing Spanish fleet, but continued to search along the French coast. For he could see that the fleet should not have found the Duke of Parma yet.
Akon's gunboat was far behind Drake's fleet, and the horror on the shore had just begun, so that everyone had not yet relieved themselves. I felt lucky in my heart, the stone monster was fortunate that it never appeared on the ship, otherwise the ship would have been scrapped a long time ago! In fact, everyone doesn't know that such a stone monster is set to attack the ring-bearer on land. If it appears at sea, it is easy for the vow-bearer to overturn it into the sea. The combat effectiveness is not as strong as everyone thinks. No matter how powerful a monster is, it has weaknesses.
On the other side, the Spanish fleet fought again with the British fleet, and the two sides still couldn't help anyone. The British ships, as usual, avoided the Spanish ships, and did not allow them to exert the power of the broadside battle, and they were invincible. The Duke of Medina, knowing that his fleet would not be able to defeat his opponent at sea, had to set sail for Calais to meet the landing force. Anyway, to conquer Britain, it still depends on the army. What a struggle with their navy!
Lord Howard of England immediately followed, and on board the Ark Royal, he drew up a fireship to attack the Spanish fleet at anchorage. This 'Hell Burner' fireship attack tactic once severely damaged the fleet of the Duke of Parma in Antwerp three years ago, causing it to lose more than 1,000 people!
This is also a big problem that the violators of the Spanish camp need to face, if history is allowed to develop, this fireship attack will be fatal to the Spanish fleet! Even the turning point of this 'Anglo-Spanish Sea Battle' battle scene! Although the fireships did not burn any of them, the terrible rout allowed the Spanish fleet to concentrate again.
And in the panic of anchoring, most of the ships cut the anchor lines at the two anchor positions, so they can only go with the flow and cannot moor! It was able to be broken by the British fleet. And most of the Spanish warships were left without shells. I could only watch as the British warships approached with a smirk and bombarded them to pieces at close range!
However, at present, it seems that due to Eisen's layout, the British ammunition supply was blown up, and the British were also running out of ammunition, even if they could disperse the Spanish fleet, they could not collapse the entire Armada as in history! This doomed Britain to try to intercept the Spanish landing by naval warfare, which may be very difficult!
The two fleets reached the coast of Calais, where, as in history, the governor of Calais warned the commander of the Spanish fleet, the Duke of Medina, that the anchorage here would be very dangerous. But the fleet could not be adrift at sea all the time, so they anchored all night. The anchorage of the British fleet was not far from them, about a few nautical miles.
And at this time, there is good news for the British. Due to the intervention of the Drake flotilla and the Dutch flotilla, the seamen of the Spanish landing force were scared away. This is about the same as in history, the layout of Akon was successful, and the transports of the Banya landing force could not leave the port smoothly!
Akon's gunboat had already gone out in a circle with Drake, who had gone out and dropped anchor in a nearby bay, waiting for the arrival of the Zuihou battle. Now Akon is becoming more and more suspicious of the purpose of Eisen's layout. Because it seems that his change in this campaign is not so radical, that is, to allow the Spaniards to land on the coast of England!
"Worf, if you're Eisen, what's the point?" Akon stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the phosphorescent light on the distant sea.
"Let's get the Spanish army to land in England, it's almost an impossible task. Perhaps Eisen just wanted the Spanish fleet not to fail. Wolf propped his hand on the side of the boat and said what he thought.
Akon thought for a moment and shook his head, "Then why did he make such a big deal at the meeting place of the landing force, was it just to divert our attention?" He spent a lot of scene wealth to buy so many transport ships! ”
Wolf said helplessly: "I don't understand this, using such a big price in exchange for an unsuccessful plan is not like Eisen's style." There's no way he wouldn't have thought about our intervention and would make this jihua abort! ”
Akon asked, puzzled, "If his purpose was not to land the Spaniards in England, then what could it be?" ”
"I don't know!" Wolf was very simple, this kind of thing was beyond his intellectual comprehension, and he simply didn't think about it.
"In two hours, the British fireship attack will begin, let's go and see......" Akon ordered to lift anchor and sail towards the anchorage of the Spanish fleet.
In the distance, the sky gradually brightened at sea level, and a round of red sun reflected the morning glow, jumping upward......
…………
The English Channel in the early morning is calmer than ever. Both large fleets raised their royal flags. But they're not going to fight a battle to the death! It's about negotiating......
Just as the eight fireships of England were about to attack the Spanish fleet, a messenger ship suddenly sailed out of the opposing fleet. Earlier, Lord Howard had also received a letter from the Queen of London, asking him to negotiate peace with the Duke of Medina on behalf of the royal family. Then he saw his enemies and expressed the same will......
…………
"It's going well......" Zhang Fan looked very happy, for him, Tang Seng, there was no more good news than not fighting. I went to the Vatican, and the Assassin went to Philip II. Pope Sixtus V was a very kind man. When I presented the Queen's letter to him, I thought it would take a lot of words, but I didn't expect him to agree to a boycott soon! And personally repair the book to Philip II, so that the devout Catholic king could stop the war! The royal knight assassin didn't convince Philip II at first, and as soon as I got the Pope's letter, it turned around......"
Akon frowned, listening carefully to Zhang Fan's report on the completion of the mission, and suddenly he interrupted Zhang Fan and asked, "You said that as soon as the Pope received the letter, he quickly agreed to a truce?" ”
"Yes......" Zhang Fanzheng said excitedly, and it was a little strange to be interrupted by Akon.
Hearing this, Akon slapped the table and said, "Aisen! I'm not as good as you! Hehe, so many of us wise and enlightened people combined, we still calculated for him! ”
"What did you say?" Zhang Fan Riyadh asked in surprise.
Akon asked the two rhetorically, "What is the identity of that guy Eisen?" ”
Zhang Fan and Riyadh looked at each other, and Wolf sneered, shook his head and walked out of the cabin.
Green Wing was puzzled, so he asked: "Eisen is dressed as a paladin, so naturally ......" Green Wing instantly understood. Eisen's relationship with the Vatican is well known. Zhang Fan said that the peace went so smoothly, it must be Aisen's work behind it. In other words, Zhang Fan's layout strike was originally in Aisen's calculations.
In other words, it was Aisen's layout that guided Zhang Fan's thinking and stopped this battle! The advantage of this was that Eisen had no trouble getting the British fleet, which had the upper hand, to take the initiative to ask for reconciliation, and at a high political cost. Because the British scene characters who don't know the outcome of history don't know that they will win!
The British war-holders, who knew that the British fleet would win, were frightened by Eisen's layout, thinking that the outcome of the battle would be rewritten, and took the initiative to persuade Queen Elizabeth I, who was already inclined to peace talks, to make her surrender to the Pope and King Philip II of Spain. This oolong, which was controlled by Aisen, actually made the wise men and enlighteners of Zhang Fan's team fall into it, and they also thought that their layout would surprise the other party. It wasn't until the peace talks began that I understood that I had been fooled!
