Chapter 131: Continue to encircle and annihilate
"What? The Second Squadron was wiped out! ”
The commander of the Seventh Fleet felt a nameless fire rising from the bottom of his heart, and his face was furious. Obviously just a handful of weak pirates, with a few broken ships to attack the border patrol, for the sake of safety, he directly sent a thousand warships of the second squadron to exterminate the pirates, but he never thought that he would get such news.
The staff officer in charge of reporting to the commander was uneasy, and hurriedly opened the video footage sent back to the commander before the destruction of the Second Fleet.
In the picture, the number of enemies is not as depicted by the Border Patrol, but only about a hundred warships. From the picture, it can be roughly estimated that the number of enemy warships is no less than 5,000. That's why the Second Squadron didn't even have time to call for help before it was swallowed up by the enemy's horde of ships. However, the commander could clearly see that this group of pirates was no match for the Seventh Fleet. In the final blow of the Second Squadron before its death, at least 1,500 warships were annihilated. It can be seen that this group of pirates has low combat effectiveness, and can even be described as weak, and it is completely dependent on numbers to win.
The commander of the Seventh Fleet was furious, no matter what, the Seventh Fleet would also be a regular fleet in Karzarin, not like the Fourth Fleet that was completely wiped out a few days ago, although the warships were also exported by Veyron, but the operators and combatants were experienced soldiers who had undergone strict training and often engaged in firefights with pirates on the border. But now, this group of pirates who came out of nowhere actually dared to provoke, what is the difference between this and touching the tiger's butt?
Just as the commander was about to order the whole fleet to be dispatched to avenge the Second Fleet, he somehow suddenly remembered the Fourth Fleet.
Speaking of which, the Fourth Fleet was annihilated by the ambushed pirate fleet after falling into the enemy's trick to lure the enemy. If this pirate fleet is only used to lure the enemy, then he has fallen for the enemy's ploy if he rushes through the air so aggressively.
After thinking about it, the commander decided to be more steady. While preparing the fleet to leave, he hurriedly contacted the Fifth Fleet, which echoed his photo, and prepared for the two fleets to go at the same time.
His Majesty King Hisham made it very clear after the fall of the Fourth Fleet that even if that fleet was attacked, it should not be pursued too deeply, and beware of being ambushed by the enemy. Even if you let the enemy go, you can't go deep into danger. Therefore, the commander of the Seventh Fleet did not pursue it very steadily, but contacted the Fifth Fleet, and used the two fleets to pool all their strength to defeat this group of pirates in one fell swoop.
Soon, the commander of the Fifth Fleet sent back a communication, telling him that the Fifth Fleet was ready and moving at full speed to join the Seventh Fleet.
Half an hour later, 10,000 Weilong export-type warships of the Fifth Fleet appeared on the flanks of the Seventh Fleet in a neat formation. After exchanging opinions, the two commanders gave the order to set off at the same time, and a huge fleet of 19,000 warships galloped towards the border area.
In their opinion, even if these pirates planned to use those five thousand pirate warships as bait to ambush the Seventh Fleet. But now there are nearly 20,000 warships, and with the combat strength of the pirates, even if they are equal in number, they cannot be the match for the regular fleet of Karzarin. The 20,000 warships gave them the courage to move forward, and everyone in the entire fleet, including the commander, was extremely confident, and even secretly swore that they would destroy this pirate fleet to avenge the blood of the second fleet.
After about an hour's rapid journey, the fleet finally reached the starry sky where the second squadron had an accident on the Karzarin border. In the distance, the starry sky was littered with the wreckage of warships, but most of the wreckage belonged not to Karzarin, but to the pirate fleet. Almost all of the warships used by those pirates were old models, and with this kind of combat power, they could not compete with the Karzarin fleet with the same number. The second squadron fought against 5,000 pirate warships with 1,000 ships and destroyed 1,500 enemy warships, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the pirates is really not worth mentioning.
Finding that a large number of Karzarin battleships had appeared, the pirate warships that were still collecting and salvaging the wreckage immediately abandoned the wreckage of the warships that had already been disposed of, and rushed in the direction of Alta in a panic. The two commanders, fearing that this was an enemy trick, continued to keep the battleship at its original speed, allowing the staff to quickly calculate whether the pirate warships were fleeing or luring the enemy.
Very open, the staff officers came up with the calculations.
From the unorganized and undisciplined state of the pirates when they fled, and the extremely messy state of the fleet, it can be analyzed that these pirates did not pretend to flee in an organized manner, but were really frightened by 20,000 warships and scurried around, without any formation formation, and it was not like luring the enemy deeper.
After determining this, the two commanders finally made up their minds and immediately gave the order to keep the fleet moving at full speed and pursue these pirate warships.
Although the combat effectiveness of these pirates is very low, the level of escape is indeed first-class, and it seems that the engines of these warships have been modified, and they are far faster than ordinary warships. It was also a factor in their ability to survive in the chaotic Alta region. For these pirates, it doesn't matter if they are strong or not, they just can't fight against powerful guys. But the speed must be fast, when you can beat the enemy, you can rely on high speed to pursue; When you can't beat it, you can use it to run away. Therefore, most pirate groups and warlords, when they don't have enough money to buy new ships, most of them will modify the engines of their warships to make them faster.
The Seventh and Fifth Fleets wasted a lot of valuable time due to their initial caution, and it was already extremely difficult to catch up with this group of pirates.
After chasing for a while, the two fleets had crossed the border of Karzarin and entered the sphere of influence of Yongtai. However, since Yongtai also belongs to the Arta region, it is also chaotic, and there are no border patrols or warfleets stationed on the border, and the pirates are completely allowed to enter and exit. So the two battle fleets of Karzarin did not think about anything and directly pursued Karzarin.
After about an hour, the pirates ran farther and farther away, and if this continued, the fleet of Karzarin would never be able to catch up with them. After a little consideration, the two commanders exchanged views with each other, and then planned to return home.
At this moment, they suddenly noticed that the speed of the pirate warships that were fleeing in front of them suddenly slowed down, and there were signs of gathering together to reform a fleet.
"Good chance!" The Commander of the Seventh Fleet's eyes lit up, and he guessed: "These pirates seem to think that it is safe for them to escape back to Arta, and they have actually begun to collect warships under our noses, this is a good opportunity, I suggest a surprise attack immediately!" ”
The commander of the Fifth Fleet also regretted his previous caution, and the destruction of the Fourth Fleet made them feel a little uneasy, which caused the current situation, so that these pirates with low combat effectiveness could escape smoothly after completely annihilating the second detachment of the Seventh Fleet. Looking at the battleships in the distance, the commander of the Fifth Fleet couldn't help but lick his lips. For them, those battleships are their merits, and they are the nourishment that can give them one more star on their shoulders. I believe that if the five thousand ships can be returned to the warship, even if this battle achievement is not enough for him to advance, it will not be too bad, as long as he survives for another year or two, he is absolutely sure that he will have a position of his own in the kingdom's military department.
"Agree to the pursuit!" The commander of the Fifth Fleet naturally would not let go of the fat in front of him, and he couldn't wait to give orders to his fleet. On the other flagship, the commander of the Seventh Fleet grinned when he saw his hurried appearance, and ordered his Seventh Fleet battleships to follow behind the Fifth Fleet and speed up their pursuit.
After just a few minutes of pursuit, the two commanders suddenly discovered that the number of pirate warships gathered in front was not more than five thousand, and judging from the size of that area, there were at least fifteen thousand warships!
This moment made the two commanders hesitate.
Fat is good, but if you accidentally bury all of your fleet here, it's all over. Not to mention being promoted and getting rich, I'm afraid that even my own life will have to stay here.
"To chase or not to chase?" The commander of the Fifth Fleet asked hesitantly, but found that the commander of the Seventh Fleet on the screen was looking at the area in the distance and the fleet, not knowing what he was thinking, until he asked the third time, the commander of the Seventh Fleet came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Chase, why don't you chase." According to my observations, the military literacy of those pirate fleets is extremely poor, and after such a long time, even the main body of the fleet has not yet been formed, and it is still a scattered sand. As long as we can catch up and attack within fifteen minutes, I believe that with the strength of this group of pirates, they will definitely fall into chaos, let alone counterattack, I am afraid that even if they want to escape, they will have no chance. ”
The commander of the Fifth Fleet did as he said, took a closer look, and immediately exclaimed in surprise: "That's right, this group of pirates is still in the group. It seems that without half an hour, they can't form a lethal force above the scale, and this is indeed a good opportunity! ”
The speed of the two fleets did not slow down at all, and they chased after those pirate warships at a high speed!
In the eyes of the two commanders, as long as they caught up and attacked while launching a salvo of main guns, this group of pirates would be like chickens and dogs, destroyed by them, and rushed past. Their long experience patrolling the borders had taught them that the pirates of Alta were capable of fighting well, and although their combatants were not bad, the long battle had given them a lot of experience. But their warships are too backward to buy new ones, and they can only use those that can be reimbursed even in other countries, what kind of combat effectiveness can they have?
Seeing that they were about to enter the range of the main guns, the two commanders ordered the main guns to be charged at the same time, and the ships began to lock on to the target. Suddenly, beams of faint blue light shot out from above, below, on the left and right sides of the Fourth Fleet at the same time, like the gaze of death, shooting straight towards the galloping Fifth Fleet and the Seventh Fleet.
Immediately after that blue light was a myriad of thick heavy plasma torpedoes, roaring towards Karzarin's battleship, like hungry hunting sharks, tearing at the food......
