Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Battle of the South China Sea (3)
"Chief, the enemy's flagship has been discovered!"
In the South China Sea battlefield, the orc sentries excitedly ran down to observe the sentry and reported the latest battlefield situation to Justin, the commander-in-chief of their fleet.
The orc sentries observed carefully, it was indeed the flagship of the human fleet, the battleship of King Alonso of Teletem. The blue and white flag with ornate patterns inlaid on the hull of the ship wrapped in iron sheets. Twice as large as an average battleship, there is no doubt that this is the flagship of the human fleet.
"Call the Skyfire, the Thunder, follow our warship, go full speed, and attack that human warship. ”
Justin commanded almost in a roaring tone, and seeing the flagship of humanity was equivalent to seeing the fruits of victory. As long as the human ship is defeated, the other ships will be in chaos because they don't have a commander, and then the orc fleet can sink them one by one. To this end, the Orc Navy Commander-in-Chief made a bloody effort and sent the three largest warships to the front line to attack the human warship together.
The sea set off a huge wave and hit the orc fleet, the splash almost hit the deck, and the sudden change of weather made the entire orc fleet begin to shake, but the human side was not comfortable, the human warship was twice as small as the orc warship, and under the blow of the huge wave, it shook even more. Many orcs and human soldiers standing on the deck were unsteady on their feet.
However, the three warships ordered by the chief chief himself sailed towards the human flagship very calmly. The three orc warships were even five times larger than the average human warship, and the elven ship was as small as a leaf beneath them in comparison.
Boulders and shells were still speeding on the sea, crashing into each other's ships, and the whole sea was full of burning warships and people overboard. Orcs, human blood stained the entire sea a pale red.
"Your Majesty, the large warships of the orcs are heading towards us. ”
The majestic and gorgeous flagship of the kingdom of Telleth, the sentinels anxiously reported the situation on the front line to King Alonso, the three large warships of the orcs were very powerful in firepower and strong in collision, and several alliance warships tried to stop them, but they all returned in vain.
"Damn, they found us. ”
King Alonso saw it, holding a telescope in one hand and slapping it on the guardrail with the other. Obviously, the ships of humans and elves are all extremely weak existences under these three orc warships. Even Tyletum's flagship was only half the size of an orc warship. No matter how advanced the ship's artillery is, as long as the enemy is sandwiched, the Teletham flagship will still not be able to parry.
"Order all the ships on the front line, all back, to protect the flagship. Three formations, passing through the middle of the large orc warship. ”
The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and King Alonso did not have time to think, so he could only decisively order all the warships on the front line to withdraw.
"Leores, I'll leave the elven fleet to you, help me entangle the other orc ships. ”
After giving the order to unify the battle, Alonso turned to the elven prince and said. This time, the sacrifice of the elves will be enormous, but for the sake of this battle, it will have to be done as well.
"Together. ”
Leoris replied simply, then jumped out of the boat and gathered all the elven ships. Their mission will be the most dangerous, using the flexibility of the elven boat to intersperse with other orc warships, dragging down the movement speed of other orc warships, and buying valuable time for the Telletham flagship, so that all the human gunships on the front line can smoothly withdraw to the mothership, protect the king, and bombard the three huge orc warships together.
"Throw it out! Throw all the stones at the wrecked ship. ”
The orc captain standing on the furious thunder shouted, the massive warship was the first to approach the human flagship, and the catapult had just the range to cover the human fleet. The orc captain roared, the hard workers on the deck hurriedly pulled the cables, and the next moment, dozens of flints rained down on the alliance's fleet, and of course all the catapults still tried to target the human main ship.
"Launch. ”
At the same time as the catapult on the deck threw flint, at the battlement of the lower deck, a stone crossbow also pulled the bowstring to the maximum and ejected the stone in an instant. The stones fired by this weapon were much smaller than those thrown by the catapults on the upper deck, but they were much more accurate than the catapults, and many medium-sized stones instantly hit the hull of the Tyletham flagship.
However, the orcs' naval weapons were inferior to the dwarven cannons, and the medium-sized stones fired from the catapults did not penetrate when they hit the hull of the flagship ship of Teletham, leaving at most deep dents in the iron skin. But this is only because they are still far away and shoot at close range, and Alonso does not dare to guarantee that the orc's catapults will not penetrate the hull.
"Hold all the ships steady and listen to my orders. ”
The flagship of Teletham has been hit by the flint of the orcs, a raging fire has ignited on the deck, and the soldiers are busy extinguishing the fire, but even so, King Alonso is still calm, and half a century of combat experience has made this northern ranger not only have a strong combat martial arts, but also have an incomparably calm psychological quality. He was waiting, waiting for the three orc ships to enter the encirclement, and then fire together, and now the orcs can't figure out the movement of the human fleet, so they must be patient at this time, and they can't startle the snake.
"Steady, everyone, don't fire. ”
Alonso commanded again in a loud voice, and all that was left on the field was the flint ejected by the orc catapults, like a volcanic eruption, throwing the blazing boulders at the Allied ships. The black smoke left by the flints flying through the sky stained the sky of the naval battle gray.
The three giant ships of the orcs continued to advance, and the sea water stirred up a lot of splashes, and on the side of the alliance, all the dwarven artillery was aimed at these three arrogant orc warships, but without the order of King Alonso, no one dared to open fire without permission. The front guns moved with the position of the orc battleship, like a sniper hiding behind a battlement to aim at the enemy.
"King, the third compartment is flooded, and the orc's catapults have pierced the planks there. ”
"King, the fifth compartment has also been flooded. ”
"King's ......"
The Tyletham flagship kept retreating, attracting the three orc giantships forward.
"Chief, we are surrounded by human warships. ”
On the side of the orc mothership, the sentry once again urgently reported to Justin that now, more than two dozen human warships had quietly surrounded the three main ships of the orcs from the side. There were less than ten warships left that were still entangled with the other large forces of the orcs, and of course, a large number of elven boats surrounded the other orc ships, constantly interspersed, shooting and killing the orc soldiers on board.
......
"**yes, this human general is really a bad guy. Let me keep going, just sink it and it's all over. ”
Justin, the leader of the orc fleet, calmed down his temper a little, the Angry Thunder is already very close to the human flagship, as long as it gets a little closer, you can put down the drawbridge, at that time, the human flagship will be occupied by the orcs, there are more than 3,000 orc warriors and more than 2,000 orc laborers on the angry thunder, as soon as these 3,000 orcs rush onto the ship, even if there are more artillery pieces on the human flagship, it is a pile of scrap metal.
