Section 9
The close combat on the side of the warship at sea is a little different from what the orc warriors imagined, and the shaking hull of the ship makes it difficult for these battle-hardened warriors to even walk the most basic. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Coupled with the chaotic scene caused by the impact of the human navy rushing the ship, many orc officers could not even find their own soldiers, and all kinds of orders were shouted from the mouths of officers at all levels, and the soldiers did not know whose orders to listen to.
Human sailors, on the other hand, are experienced in naval warfare, often engaged in brutal broadside battles with pirates, and they know how to fight on the rocking hulls of their ships.
In addition, the human sailors had little to no armor on them, and some were even shirtless, and they carried a light and thin long sword, which allowed them to move back and forth flexibly in broadside combat.
And their goal was clear, and long before the broadside battle began, the commanders had told them to kill as much as possible the living forces of the enemy ships, and this simple order was perfectly carried out by the soldiers.
As soon as the broadside battle began, the orc side had already lost.
The human sailors used the special swords of the Seca Navy to take the lives of orc warriors, and these sailors were always able to accurately find the gaps between the orc warriors' armor, and then stabbed the rapier in their hands with great speed, and then backhanded.
Under the blade of a rapier of this trait, the orc warrior had little chance of surviving.
Because, the thin sword looks small, but the sword body is very thick, and there will be a very deep blood groove in the middle, coupled with the habitual agitation of human sailors after being stabbed, so the person who is stabbed by this kind of thin sword will have a thumb-sized hole at the beginning of the wound.
In five minutes at most, the blood in the body will run out, and there is no way to stop the bleeding with ordinary treatment if there is no real rescue from the bachelor.
The orc flank commander saw the irreparable defeat and made a wise decision, he abandoned the already chaotic frontline battlefield and set about putting the rest of his soldiers in order, while directing the remaining warships to evacuate from the battlefield with the help of the goblin lieutenant to prepare for the next battle.
Lieutenant Colonel Kelly stared at the battlefield ahead, and he gently tugged at his own long, curly beard, satisfied with the current state of the battle.
Tightly, he turned his head to look at Lieutenant Colonel Richie's side, the young lieutenant colonel had the arrogance of a young man, but he was of good character, and the character and age of the other man always reminded Lieutenant Colonel Kelly of his own son.
This is human nature, watching the fight on the battlefield, watching those young lives fall weakly one by one, I always can't help but think of my family, the older I get, the more so.
Kelly turned his face sideways and let the sea breeze blow across his cheeks as much as he could, he needed to stay focused and not let other things get distracted.
On the other side of the battlefield, Colonel Demps kept receiving news from the lookout, and he was pleased with the results of the attack of the two flank fleets, but there was always a sense of unease in his heart.
"Are all the magicians sent to us by Viscount Cage alright?" Demps asked his first officer, Lieutenant Colonel Ender, who was in Ender's care.
"It's not bad, they are even more bitter than sailors, but they are a little sloppy, and it seems that their lives are not as good as we imagined. Lieutenant Colonel Ander replied that after getting used to a neat and regular life, he was a little unaccustomed to those who were sloppy.
"Really?" Colonel Demps was stunned for a moment, then said, "Perhaps, we should let them out..."
"Wow!Wow!poof!poof!"
Demps was halfway through his words when he heard the sound of a violent crash of the waves, which was accompanied by the exclamations of the human sailors.
The colonel reflexively raised his eyes, and suddenly, his eyes shrank, and the whole person was involuntarily stunned.
I saw that above the originally calm sea level, a huge wave nearly twenty feet high suddenly rose without any wind or impact, and between the rolling waves, it seemed that it was about to drown the attack group at the front.
On such a clear sea, there would be no huge waves rolling, and the colonel now even thought he was in a dream.
Moreover, this huge wave just cut off all contact between Colonel Demps's main fleet and the two fleets fighting on the flanks of the orc ships.
"It's magic!" shouted Major Leon, his cry waking the neighborhood from its shock.
"Quick! call the magicians, they should do what they have to do!" Colonel Demps yelled at the stunned herald next to him.
In fact, without the orders of Colonel Demps, the eleven magicians sent by Gray were already exercising magic under the leadership of a mentor-like magician to resist when they felt the magic element.
Otherwise, the huge waves were not as simple as blocking the way, at least, all the ships of the attack group at the front had sunk long before Colonel Demps's order was given.
At this moment, if anyone can observe carefully, they will find that below the great wave, there are always countless small waves lapping, as if they are stopping the great wave from moving forward.
Duels between mages, where ordinary soldiers cannot provide any effective assistance.
The attack group in front, without the orders of Colonel Demps, had already withdrawn from the danger zone at the first moment, which was the most instinctive decision for the fear of the unknown.
The warriors on both sides watched in silence at this strange scene, most of them had never seen the mysteries of magic, and at most, they had only heard of the power and mystery of magic in the accounts of veterans or the tavern wandering poets.
Now, when they feel the magic of magic, they are more afraid and awe-inspiring, and they find that in the middle of this vast sea, this group of spellcasters who can manipulate the sea can put their entire fleet in danger with just a few people.
The soldiers finally understood why the veterans were reluctant to tell stories about magic, because it would resurface their forgotten fears.
Of course, it was only ordinary soldiers who had these thoughts, and the commander of the unit who knew the principles of magic was at most amazed at the wonder of magic.
Time passed slowly, bit by bit, and the confrontation between the two magicians continued.
At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Kelly and Lieutenant Colonel Richie, who were in charge of attacking the flanks of the orc fleet, were in trouble.
A goblin commander in the orc fleet, commanding five warships full of archers, roamed back and forth in the waters near the battle at a superior speed, stabilizing the orcs' already declining battle situation.
What's even worse is the repeating crossbow arrows in the hands of those goblin mercenaries, which can accurately hit every human sailor in battle.
At this moment, in order to better command the fleet to fight, Lieutenant Commander Richie had boarded Lieutenant Colonel Kelly's warship, and when the huge wave that blocked their connection with the main fleet appeared, the two lieutenant commanders also discovered it at the first time.
"What now?" Lieutenant Commander Richie consulted Lieutenant Commander Kelly, for in the Seca City Navy, when two fleets were working together, the commander was usually in charge of the highest-numbered commander.
