"What's going on!"

On the flagship of the Southwestern Combined Fleet, Angus Wiley looked at the battleship that had been blown up at the front of the queue, and his face turned as white as paper, as if it were an explosion from the sky, which shocked the experienced fleet naval commander.

"Your Excellency Angus Wiley, have you noticed that the number of the opposing fleet does not match the intelligence!" Algernon Katya, the commander-in-chief of the southwest who was still determined to win just now, looked at the black spots on the sea in the distance, his face became more and more stern, and he was silent for a while and said, "I have an ominous feeling, this is a trap, we should evacuate immediately!" "Evacuate? What are you kidding?"

Angus Willy stubbornly turned his head, his face became hideous and terrifying, and said slowly, "Your Excellency, have you ever seen a knight who launched a charge choose to turn halfway, just because he found that the number of targets is wrong!"

"But, just rush on...... Algernonkatya's mouth opened, looking a little uncertain, "We have received a report of 20 warships, although we can't fully see it yet, but the number of opponents is obviously more than that!"

"The fleet is not an army! the army can run away if it can't win, and if the navy turns the hull in an engagement, it is looking for death! And the other party may also have a transport ship, and it is common for the other party to include the transport ship in the array for the sake of bluffing!" Angus Willy said with a cold face, "If the Commander-in-Chief is worried, I can arrange a warship to protect the Commander-in-Chief's departure."

"I didn't mean that"

Algernonkatya's eyes flashed with a hint of insulted hatred, as the emperor's henchman, his heart is very high, even if he is a layman in naval warfare, he can perceive this encounter, the Southwest Combined Fleet is obviously at a disadvantage, but this is the fleet of Angus's might, even as the Southwest Commander-in-Chief. Unable to force this guy to obey orders in the battle, he even moved in the name of His Majesty the Emperor, and this guy was only willing to participate in the war in the name of assistance

Just as the two were arguing, "Boom!" A huge explosion came from the right side, the heat wave was rolling, and I saw the hull of a Class 2 battleship next to it pause, and suddenly a rapid fire erupted from the hole in the hull that was penetrated, and then there was a huge explosion,

Special care for the main cannon in the dragon class. Another heavy battleship was hit and caught fire, billowing black smoke rose like a tragic black scar on the surface of the sea, and the fire was dense around it like spores that suddenly bloomed in the sea and exploded in all directions, and the water column soared into the sky, and the explosion stirred up a sky-high white wave.

"Your Excellency Angus Wiley, it's still too late to give the order to retreat!" Algernonkatya looked at Angus Wiley with a stubborn face, his face clenched his fists with shame, in the Southwest Consulate General's Office, no one dared to disobey his orders. "I'm not a rookie who hasn't been on the battlefield, and although I haven't personally commanded a naval battle, I also know that the other side is obviously prepared! If you rush directly like this, you will only fall into the trap of the other side!" "This is a battle that belongs to the navy!" The other side has set up an array. I'm going to have to fight!" Angus Wiley waved his hand, interrupting Algernonkatya to continue, "Come, take the Commander-in-Chief to the Zena, and order the other ships to keep in formation and rush forward as fast as possible!"

"Angus Willy, your stubbornness will kill a lot of people......" Algernonkatya scolded. But soon the very shameless was taken away by the sailors, and on the deck of the navy, the sailors recognized only Angus Wiley.

Angus Wiley ignored that his own fleet was encountering a head-on attack, he personally boarded the command bridge and loudly issued an order that was called "stupid" by later generations, and standing in the position of the Southwest Combined Fleet at that time, while encountering the fierce attack of the opponent's long-range weapons, giving the order to quickly approach the other party was the most instinctive reaction, but he didn't expect that what was waiting for him was the strongest lineup of the Falcon Navy, 76 ships against 76 ships, the same number, but there was a huge difference in combat power

This can be seen from the comparison of the number of warships of the two sides at that time.

In the Gallic Imperial Navy, the warships involved in this battle were divided into four classes, the first class of ships had three decks, 12 trebuchets, a crew of more than 875 sailors, and a displacement of 4,500-6,500 tons. The second-class ship, three-deck, 8 trebuchets, with a capacity of about 750 people, with a displacement of 4,000 tons, the second-deck of the third-class ship, 6 trebuchets, a crew of about 490-720 sailors, a displacement of 3,300-4,000 tons, a fourth-class ship, a two-deck gun deck, 4 catapults, a capacity of about 350 people, and a displacement of 1,500-3,000 tons. The warships of the Gallic Empire were built almost entirely of wood, sometimes clad in copper below the waterline. The power is sails, and the second class battleships and above have begun to be equipped with side armor and thick baffles in the hull, while the heaviest first-class battleships have already realized ironclad ships

In terms of the Falcon Navy, the warships participating in this battle are divided into two classes, the Dragon class main battleship, four decks (three gun decks, one heavy siege Thor, 100 naval warp Thor) with a crew of 1,223 sailors and a displacement of 7,000 tons, and the improved Dragon Tooth battleship, two decks (one gun deck, 30 naval warlords) with a crew of 310 sailors and a tonnage of 2,500 tons - 3,000 tons,

"Shoot, shoot!"

The Falcon Navy gunners let out a high shout, ignoring the pungent smoke of gunpowder, and stuffed one shell after another into Thor's hot barrel, and the fierce artillery fire smashed like raindrops, and the sea boiled and raised countless columns of water.

On the opposite side, the battleships of the Southwest United Navy withstood the cannon fire that rained down, emitting puffs of black smoke that had been hit, and the remains of the battleships that were broken in the explosion like rotten wood, dragging huge waves in the sea water.

In less than twenty minutes, six large Gallic Empire first-class battleships located at the front end of the combined fleet were sunk in the dense artillery fire, losing the barrier at the front end, and the dense ship group in the rear was completely exposed, and one after another the battleships were hit and exploded, sinking,

The salvo of more than 800 Thor, showing the power to make the sea boil in an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, the whole white, from the side of the battleship rushed out of the whole row, gathered into a symphony of high excitement, countless white lines across the sea, like hail with a piercing whistling sound flew over, the heavy bow of the battleship was crushed, turned into scattered fragments, the nearby battleships panicked to dodge, even the flagship could not avoid being drawn into this chaos,

"Forward!"

Enduring great sacrifices, Angus Willy's tenacious nerves were like steel, watching the battleships explode with bullets, and the surroundings were like hell, rumbling "The deck flew sideways, and the sailors on the battleships next to him were abandoned like roller coasters,

Countless explosions sounded in the ship group, and when the water column of more than ten meters that stirred up from the water surface showed a scene like the sky collapsing and the sea boiling,

The light of the explosion increased in a blink of an eye, and the range also expanded rapidly, and the fragments of the hull were like the corpse of a paralyzed giant beast in the sea, floating up and down by the impact of the waves that were still exploding, and the other fourteen heavy warships had also lost their initial sharpness, and the position wrapped in iron armor outside was penetrated, and it was no longer able to provide protection, and the sea water was pouring in, and the speed of the battleship slowed down rapidly, and the sails above were hit by the Thor incendiary bombs that came from it, ignited, and made a crackling sound in the whirring sea breeze,

Still not wavering in the slightest, the Southwestern Combined Fleet pulled the fleet into a distance of 500 meters from the opponent's hand-to-hand forces at the cost of a third. There was finally a hint of change in Angus Willy's cold face, and the opportunity he had been waiting for finally came, "Go ahead, smash them!"

Angus Wiley shouted excitedly, the spindle-shaped Southwest United Navy, although it was knocked out of the most relied on "sawtooth" in front, but the queue of the overall ship group was quite complete, and there were more than fifty ships, and on the opposite side, the thin linear array of the Falcon Navy was exposing its weakest belly in front of him, and the hull in front of it was the best target for the navy's collision angle, "It's really tenacious, order all ships to change formations, two-headed snake!"

Dustronik stared at the group of enemy ships approaching in a desperate posture, and said coldly on the Dragon-class flagship,

With the order issued, the Falcon Navy fleet that presented a horizontal line to meet the battle suddenly started, directly along the direction of the bow of the ship and quickly started, this rapid change, so that the opposite Angus Willy's joy stiffened on his face, at this moment the Southwest Combined Fleet is like a turtle that has climbed to the destination with great difficulty, and it is about to cross the bottom line, and the spring flowers are blooming, but the bottom line itself ran away with oil to the side, leaving a completely stupid turtle, "This is simply a trick"

Angus Willie wanted to cry without tears, and his blood was like being splashed with ice,

I have never seen such a shameless naval commander, and the two linear fleets split into two as if by magic, each drawing a huge arc on the sea surface, leaving the empty front to the Southwest Combined Fleet equipped with ramming angles,

The bulky body of the Imperial giant battleship obviously can't keep up with the maneuverability and agility of the dragon's tooth battleship,

And when the spindle of the heavy battleship was finally as aggressive as a side knife inserted into the open space, he suddenly found that there was no enemy ship group in front of him, and the huge tonnage could only watch the enemy fleet easily pat his ass and run away after slamming his own lust to death.

Ten minutes later. Two huge half-arcs magically formed two queues in the north and south, and the Southwest Combined Fleet was sandwiched in the middle

"Target, shoot!"

The dense artillery bombardment that had just stopped sounded again, and the deafening attack shook the sea, and the jumping jets of light shot out from the Falcon battleship with its wings scattered almost simultaneously, densely intertwined with countless lattice patterns,

Everywhere is like a whirlpool of explosive light rolled up waves, and the tail of the heavy battleship located in the middle of the fire network, is a frequent burst of dazzling sparks, with the experience of the last time, the Falcon Navy's attack focus is on the tail of the opponent, and suddenly the fire and explosion from the tail of the burning fire (to be continued......
