Chapter 686: Attack in the Storm

Before you know it, the season is quietly entering summer.

Above the sea, under the dark sky, thunder roared and torrential rain raged.

The huge waves that have been set off one by one are just like people showing the power and horror of nature.

In the face of the sea at this time, no matter how majestic the steel battleship is, it has become like a leaf of mayflies at this moment, constantly jolting in the turbulent waves.

At this moment, a long-dormant fleet quietly appeared in the midst of a raging storm.

Since the beginning of the summer season, the commander-in-chief of the fleet has been waiting for this day.

The Dark Elves, who have naval power, know how to observe climate change at sea, and how to maximize their advantage.

The dim sky and the pouring rain greatly reduced the visibility of the surrounding area.

At the same time, in the event of a thunderstorm, the fleet radar equipment will also be greatly affected.

However, even if they weren't affected, it was useless, because there were no mechanical equipment on the dark elves' black sail battleships, and the radar of this era couldn't sweep them away at all.

With the help of the wind and waves, they easily approached, and then the dark elf mages cast a detection spell that allowed him to successfully lock on to the target's device.

In the next second, one magic ballista after another fired in unison, opening up a battle in the midst of a raging storm.

"Enemy attack! Enemy Attack !!"

The attacked Huaxia supply fleet was alarmed, and in the command room, the face of the commander-in-chief of the fleet was ugly.

"Watch out for enemy attacks! Turn on all searchlights and confirm enemy locations!! The supply ship retreats !!."

In this weather, only two players can attack at sea, one is William Mousse, who has an army of fishmen, and the other is Eric Mountton's Blacksail Fleet, which can largely ignore the effects of weather at sea.

And judging from the round of attacks just now, it is obvious that the one who launched the attack was the latter.

This was bad news for the Chinese supply fleet.

The Black Sail Fleet's naval combat strength is extremely strong, and with the blessing of stormy weather, it is extremely difficult for them to escape with multiple supply ships.

But even so, the commander-in-chief of the supply fleet did not intend to sit idly by, and the escort fleet in charge of escort tasks adjusted the position of the ship's guns one after another, and opened fire again and again, trying to hit the enemy in the distance.

However, in this environment, battleships and heavy cruisers, which use naval gun fire as their main means of output, are almost no different from fighting at night, and this type of battleship is notoriously not good at night combat.

At this time, the successive naval artillery strikes, the hit rate is a touching.

In comparison, the Black Sail Fleet relied on the locks of the dark elf mages to detect spells, and it was simply accurate to hit them.

After two rounds of fighting, the fleet commander, who realized that he could not do anything, gritted his teeth and ordered that while laying mines to break the rear, the convoy and the supply ship directly began to evacuate separately.

Faced with such a situation, the commander-in-chief of the Black Sail Fleet, who was far behind, directly ordered to hunt down the supply ships that had withdrawn from the other side out of prudence.

Those frigates are of little significance to them, as long as they succeed in cutting off the supplies on the opposite side, the Huaxia Combined Fleet on the opposite side will obviously suffer a huge blow.

As for the broken mines, their Black Sail battleship stretched out the protective shield and had no problem wading through a few hard shots.

The choice of the Black Sail Fleet was also expected by the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet.

After all, if it were him, he would have chosen it that way.

In such a war, it is of little significance to sink a convoy, and the most effective means is to cut off the supply of materials and force the Chinese army on the front line to retreat.

And it is precisely because of this that he chose to let the supply ships act separately from them, taking advantage of the opportunity of the other party to chase the supply ships, the escort fleet quickly increased its speed and got out of this sea area.

But the supply ships on the other side are not having a good time.

It stands to reason that even a supply ship with impressive speed is not something that the sail warships of the old era can catch up.

However, as anyone knows, the performance of the magic side is not something that can be measured by science at all.

Along the way, the shield was opened, and the mines were waded through, but the supply ship finally failed to escape the pursuit of the Black Sail Fleet.

Those dark elves were obviously very greedy for Huaxia's material supply, so they did not choose to fire directly, but quickly surrounded and killed the supply ship in an attempt to stop the supply ship and take away the material supply.

The whole process went very smoothly, and several supply ships in the voyage were soon surrounded by the Black Sail Fleet that rushed up, and they were directly cut off from the back road.

It's just that the naval soldiers on those supply ships do not intend to give up the struggle, and the supply ships continue to sail.

It could be an attempt to break through, or it could be an attempt to ram the Black Sail before it is defeated, causing some damage to the enemy.

But the speed of the Black Sail battleship is much faster than that of the supply ship.

The supply ship rushed forward, and the black sail battleship continued to drive, always maintaining speed and distance, so that the supply ship could not hit them at all.

However, the commander of the dark elf side does not intend to spend so much time with the other party.

The Black Sail battleships on both sides quickly approached, and the pitiful defensive guns on the supply ships posed no threat to them at all.

When the sling is set, their dark elf naval soldiers can jump directly along the sling to the supply ship opposite, and then capture the supply ship, which is only a short moment.

This style of play is actually very common in the era of sails, but later human civilization developed to the era of large ships and huge cannons, and steel warships crisscrossed the sea, fighting the naval artillery firepower of both sides, often deciding the winner from a long distance, and there was no need to start a close battle.

This led to the fact that the tactics of the previous era were disastrous in this era and were directly eliminated.

Nowadays, only a few special civilizations are left who still use this tactic, and Eric Mountton's Blacksail Fleet is one of them.

A dark elf naval soldier in leather armor quickly jumped to the deck of the opposite supply ship along the sling.

Just as they were about to launch further operations, with a few loud explosions, the terrifying flames completely engulfed several supply ships in an instant!

The Dark Elf sailors who jumped onto the supply ship were not spared, and at the same time, the terrifying impact that spread out carried a monstrous wave of flames and rushed straight towards the approaching Black Sail battleship.

Those black sail battleships, when they waded through the minefield before, because of the continuous explosion of the mines, had weakened the strength of their protective shields, and now in the face of the sudden self-explosion attacks of supply ships, the outer protective shields of the black sail battleships were completely shattered on the spot, and even the main body of the battleship was destroyed.

Since the supplies could not be saved, they would rather blow them up with their own hands than fall into the hands of the enemy.

It can be said that at the moment when the escort fleet and the supply fleet acted separately, the naval soldiers on the supply ship were ready to die!

And their supply ships also hoarded a very large amount of explosives.

After all, against Eric Mountton and William Mousse, two naval opponents, they must have been prepared for this kind of awareness in advance.

The continuous explosion roar continued to hit Wade's eardrums, as the commander-in-chief of the Black Sail Fleet, at this time, his face could be said to be ugly and ugly.

He was calculated by the other side!

On the other side, also taking advantage of this storm, in the sea area around Eric Mountton's territory, the Black Sail Fleet stationed in it naturally would not be honest, and combined with the Fishman Force, launched an attack on Li Ji and Monsoon's Huaxia Combined Fleet.

However, the battle on this sea area was crushed to death before after all, although the Black Sail Fleet and the Fishman Force had been fighting with the combined fleet of Huaxia.

But during this period, the casualties were not small.

Now there is an opportunity

, but their strength has been greatly damaged earlier, and now it is difficult to take the Huaxia United Fleet.

At most, it is just to see the opportunity and launch a round of attacks to add a little blockage to the opposite side.

In this regard, Li Ji and Jifeng's combined fleet is not stupid, they were originally fighting away, and the location itself is not with them, and now Tianshi has also been taken away by the other side.

In this case, even if the fleet is strong enough, it is too unwise, so it is natural to avoid the edge for the time being and wait for this storm to end before killing back.

In the face of such a way of playing the Huaxia Combined Fleet, the Black Sail Fleet and the Fishman Force, which finally seized the opportunity, were also very aggrieved.

There's no way, who makes people's hard power stronger than them!

It can be said that in this storm, a lot of things happened.

By the time the storm was over, a combined fleet of foreign nations appeared on the outskirts of Sea Nine, ready to launch a rescue plan for Jacopo Alfonso.

Led by the fleet of Franc player Dybala Infeit and Sakura player Yanjiang Daisho, this combined fleet of four exotic players was assembled, and told everyone with practical actions what it means that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Although in the early naval battles, the sea fleet of their foreign camp suffered heavy losses, but now, when all the battleships at the bottom of the box are taken out and put together, it is still huge.

The sudden arrival of the foreign combined fleet immediately aroused the vigilance of the Europa Combined Fleet.

The combined fleet of the four Europa fleets, which have been stationed on this side for a long time and blockade the waters around Jacopo Alfonso, should not be underestimated.

Now that the two sides are fighting, the movement is not small.

Around the entire continent where Jacopo Alfonso lived, almost all of the surrounding sea was reduced to a battlefield.

The combined fleet of exotic countries, led by Dybala Infit and Yanjiang Daxiang, can be described as menacing, but the combined fleet of four Europa players is not vegetarian either.

In a naval battle of this magnitude, it is not easy to decide a winner in a short period of time.

However, at the beginning of the battle, the Europa Combined Fleet, stationed in the outer seas, suffered a direct accident.

Beneath the depths of the sea, large swaths of seaweed rose again, densely entangled with the propeller thrusters of the Europa warships.

Although these seaweeds had been cleared by William Mousse's Fishmen in the early battles, as a splitting sea plant, given enough time to grow them again, there was no problem at all.

If it's just a few seaweeds, the propeller can be forcibly minced, but the most terrible thing is that these seaweeds will spread over in large patches, and they are surprisingly tough, and they can directly wrap the entire propeller thruster into a rice dumpling.

The Europa Combined Fleet, which was caught off guard, was planted twice in this big hole in a row.

In a naval battle, the sea warships that lost their ability to move became live targets on the battlefield in an instant, and the foreign combined fleet saw the opportunity and directly defeated them in one go.

Then he quickly pulled the troop transport ship and launched a landing operation towards the port city captured by the dark elf army.

According to the latest information received from their side, Jacob Alfonso's territory has fallen more than half of his territory under the offensive of the Dark Elf army.

Let the army of dark elves continue to attack with the hydra, and in the end, even if Jacob Alfonso can be saved, he will be greatly damaged, and he will no longer be able to provide combat power for several years.

And that's not what they want to see.

In this way, they must contain the advancing army of dark elves as quickly as possible.

Among them, the fastest way to achieve results is naturally to capture this port, and at the same time cut off the material hoarding point in the rear of the dark elf army, it will form a situation of outflanking and putting pressure on the enemy.

On this side, in order to rescue Jacopo Alfonso, a battle for the port city quickly began.

On the other hand, as a period of time passed, the news that the supply fleet of the Huaxia camp was robbed by Eric Mountton's Black Sail Fleet naturally reached the ears of Monsoon and Li Ji.

Supplies went wrong, and although they were stressed, they weren't unprepared for Eric Mountton's hand.

In fact, there are two supply transportation routes for the two at sea.

Although there was a problem with one of them, the materials on the other route were not discovered by the Black Sail Fleet, and they were safely delivered to the front line.

Although this practice will greatly increase the cost and burden of material transportation, it cannot be denied that this practice of not putting all eggs in one basket is still relatively safe.

In this way, the Huaxia army, which is pressing on the front line in a short period of time, does not need to worry about the problem of material supply, but it is definitely not possible to relax on this.

Fortunately, the things that should be arranged during this period of time have been arranged, and this stalemate to the current battle should also enter a new stage!
