After a long wait, the naval soldiers on the Gripen fleet could finally see the battle flag of the King's Landing Navy with the naked eye.

The first round of battle began in earnest with the fires of shipborne ballistas.

"Lower the mainsail!"

"Ballista Reload!"

The captain's flag bearer roared, the mainsail was lowered, and the distance between the two fleets was reduced to three hundred meters.

"Watch out for stray arrows!"

"Bow Ballista! Attack!

"Keep loading!"

"Put!"

"The helmsman turns the rudder to the right and rushes to the middle of the opponent's first battleship, and we will kill the enemy in the middle!"

"Yes!"

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters!

Under the bombardment of the ship's ballista, after the head battleship of the opposing fleet was hit, the gray sawdust sputtered from the splash was already clearly visible, and after the broken head baffle of the enemy ship, you could clearly see the appearance of the chaotic and busy King's Landing naval soldiers on the opponent's deck.

As the fastest ship, the Charger was the first to encounter the enemy.

At a distance of 200 meters, the Charger was the first to be hit by an arrow from a shipborne ballista from one of the enemy's largest three-masted battleships.

"Woooooo

The dull sound of the warning horn was also the first to blow on the charge horn.

"Dodge the impact, pass through the gap in the opposing fleet first, and take advantage of the ballistas on both sides of the fleet!"

In the midst of repeated shouting and yelling.

Nine of the ten Gripen battleships managed to avoid a head-on collision with the lead ship of the enemy fleet thanks to the maneuverability granted by the tail sail.

The low-speed breakthrough fleet pierced into the center of the opposing fleet.

A fierce battle broke out in the center of the fleet, which was the first line of defense of the navy.

"Port Ballista!

"Starboard ballista!"

"Crossbowmen shoot freely!"

In the sea area of battle, the two sides launched a fierce side-to-side bombardment, ballistas were fired, arrows flew one after another, and the coastal waters of Heishui Bay were suddenly in chaos.

The deck of every battleship suddenly wafted with a strong smell of blood.

Stumps are broken, flesh and blood flying.

Flaming arrows, igniting the sails of battleships, clucking the masts along with the sails.

After more than ten minutes of impact, the King's Landing fleet, which clearly felt the gap in long-range firepower, was gradually suppressed, and there were too many ship-borne ballistae on both sides of the Gripen fleet.

A sail battleship that doesn't need sailors, heavy firepower that can be constructed, and rounds of bursts of fire, this has caused the King's Landing Navy to suffer heavy losses.

Most of the arrows fired by the only crossbowmen they could rely on were outweighed by the Gripen's shields or thick deck flaps, and did not cause much effective damage.

Over time, this disparity has become more apparent.

Because King's Landing's fleet soon discovered that the opposing side's ballista had almost completely shattered the baffles on their ships after multiple rounds of fire, the battle continued like this, and the King's Landing navy soldiers might have to face no more shelter to deal with the endless rain of arrows.

What's even worse is that the two sides of the Gripen fleet are gradually getting closer, and the ratio of fifty to ten battleships is so embarrassing.

If the number of warships of fifty against thirty is formed, I am afraid that the first line of defense of the navy may be in danger of annihilating the entire army in front of it in an instant.

". Commander, you see, our Antlers battleship was sunk by those terrible ballistas. And the Southborder has also been beaten into a sieve by the ballistas of those crazy people!"

On the battlefield where the devil cried wolf, a vice admiral of King's Landing came to the fleet commander and cursed,

"Gan! let the flag bearer wave the order!"

"Bring all the battleships up and engage in a broadside battle, this is the only chance!"

The commander of the defense line of the King's Landing Navy quickly made a clear judgment that only an entangled group could suppress the opponent's long-range firepower output at this time.

The King's Landing fleet was paddled hard by the bilge sailors, and it was trying to get closer to the Gripen fleet, which was constantly opening its bloody mouth and bombarding the enemies on the left and right, front and back.

When the distance reached two meters, the hook began to be thrown from the chaotic battleship like a fishing net onto the deck of the Gripen fleet.

As soon as the hook rope stuck in the trench on the deck, the Navy soldiers shouted from the King's Landing: "Hook, pull harder, bring the ship closer." ”

The desperate King's Landing navy, having no choice, struggled to connect the ship under the huge firepower.

The gap between the battleships was narrowed to two meters, and the landing planks built on both sides of the ships were lifted up by the soldiers and placed between the battleships.

"For King's Landing!

After being suppressed for a long time, the red-eyed King's Landing Navy plucked up its courage and stepped onto the deck under the commandant's shouts and charged wildly.

And on the Gripen fleet, which was attacked from both sides, the melee soldiers on the deck were already ready.

On the battleship Breakthrough, under the shield of Wakasan's own soldiers, he shouted orders from the tower: "The shield soldiers come forward, and the bow and crossbow go up to the ship's building." ”

"Stay in formation and don't let a single person into the battleship!"

Boom!

The sound of swords unsheathed suddenly sounded.

With a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, the Gripen Fleet Melee Navy has finally come into play.

The spearmen stayed behind the shieldmen, and every time the sword and shield men cut off the ankles of a roaring King's Landing naval soldier, the spearmen raised their spears behind them and stabbed the staggering foe to death.

On the surface of the sea, the sound of someone falling into the water after a miserable howl was constantly sounded.

Below the blood-stained deck, the entire sea was stained scarlet with the corpses of the dead and wounded King's Landing Navy.

Looking at the Gripen fleet soldiers as the defenders, they showed great combat power for the broadside battle.

The commander of the first line of defense of the King's Landing Navy stared with despair and tragedy as he watched his own soldiers who kept rushing to the deck and falling into the sea, and he was overwhelmed with grief and indignation.

He shouted in a hoarse voice and ordered the soldiers to continue to charge when they were ready to board the assault board and fight past!

However, after about ten minutes of the connecting battle, he was stunned to find that none of his own naval soldiers had successfully landed on the opposite battleship.

It's a hammer.

The battle was so tragic that it drove up the casualties of the King's Landing fleet navy to a terrible number.

When he looked at the frightened soldiers on his own battleship, he began to hesitate, even if he was beheaded by the overseer, no more people dared to charge, and the commander of the naval defense line was almost like ashes.

At this time, his herald came to him anxiously, and said with a hint of joy: "Commander, the main fleet brought by the Commander-in-Chief of the King's Landing Navy has all been completed outside the military port, and is coming towards our help. ”

This turned out to be gratifying news, and when the war was stalemate, there was a main fleet to help, which was exciting news.

Not today, though.

This old commander, who had gray hair and had served in the King's Landing Navy for half his life, only felt that his hands and feet were cold all over his body.

Standing on the ship's tower, he looked into the distance, and at the end of his line of sight, a naval fleet that was equally powerful but several times larger than the one in front of him was slowly converging in his sight.

The main fleet of the King's Landing Navy was assembled and came to help, and the main fleet of the other side marched towards this side without hesitation, and he knew what it meant.

At first, he thought that the ten warships that were now connected to him were sent by the other party to test the attack.

Now, it seems, this is not the case at all.

The enemy was not afraid of the full force of King's Landing, on the contrary, they were probably waiting for the moment when all the warships on their side would attack.

The old commander thought so, the corners of his mouth were bitter, but he couldn't tell his subordinates what he really thought, no one would believe this judgment like a fantasy.
