Chapter 589: Kite Tactics (Asking for Votes)

When Cicero's fleet first arrived near the Victory, Lorraine didn't pay much attention.

This place is not too far from the coast of the Cicero Empire, and it is reasonable for the fleet of the Cicero Empire to appear, and it is difficult for him not to be noticed if his movements are so big.

Leo turned his binoculars, looked carefully at the Cicero Empire in the distance, "cut", and said disdainfully: "This group of pups, seeing that there is a cheap one to pick up, is quite fast." ”

Lorraine let out an "um" and said, "We still have people on the island, this group of guys who suddenly appeared is a trouble, tell the people who landed, hurry up and call it a day before the Cicero Empire people come in." ”

Melina grabbed Leo's arm and said suspiciously, "What are they going to pick up?"

Leo put down the binoculars, looked at the curious expression on Melina's face, his self-confidence was extremely inflated, his face was flat, he pretended to be an expert, and said: "You don't understand this, come, let the young master let me uncover the rules, and I will sue you." ”

"You, go, die," said in a crisp voice in a frosty tone, while two hands as delicate as fine porcelain sank into Leo's fat ribs.

"Oh, don't pinch, don't pinch, can't I recruit it. ”

"Say it quickly. ”

Leo rubbed his waist and muttered indistinctly, "Violent girl." ”

Seeing Melina's big apricot eyes, she hurriedly said, "Look, we will destroy this pirate." ”

"That's nature. ”

"But if these guys stick a pole sideways, they will also go to the island at this time to rob and rob, these guys are the Cicero Imperial Navy, and we can't expel them by force, wouldn't it be for them to take advantage of us in vain. ”

Melinaki said, "We have defeated the pirates, why should they divide things." ”

Leo shrugged his shoulders and said, "This sea and this island are not from our empire, logically speaking, anyone who wants to go up can do it." ”

"Oh," Melina nodded thoughtfully, muttering, "Ownerless island......"

Then he looked up at Leo and asked, "Are there many islands like this on the sea?"

Leo shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's all over the place." ”

At this time, the horn of the Cicero Imperial fleet was heard in the distance, and the Cicero Imperial fleet suddenly added to this place.

"Well, no, why are they coming to us?" Lorraine kept looking at the Cicero Imperial fleet, and saw that their course was not an island, but turned a corner, and rushed straight towards him.

During the voyage, the fleet of the Cicero Empire gradually unfolded, forming a wide horizontal formation, facing the Victory head-on, and the wings had to detour back to the sides of the Victory.

The captain of the Victory ran to Lorraine in a few steps and said eagerly: "My lord, they are blowing the attack horn, and the Cicero fleet is obviously hostile. ”

Lorraine nodded and sneered: "I see, you are the captain of the ship, you don't have to be polite to Cicero's pups." ”

Lester looked at Cicero's fleet, scratched his head and said, "Do these guys still want to fight us?"

Obakhim shook his head and said, "Unlikely, they might be trying to block us and wrap up the things on the island?"

Lester snorted and said with a big grin: "It's just right, I haven't blown up a ship for a long time, and those iron buckets have taken up all the heads, I have to let you know that magic is still king in this world." ”

Cicero's battleship approached in an extremely hostile manner, and at the order of the captain, a hurried bell sounded on the battleship in preparation for battle.

The officers shouted the command, the sailors were getting ready for battle, and the battleship was busy but orderly.

All the cannon doors had been opened, and the sailors struggled to push their guns forward, and the loaded guns were aimed at the Cicero fleet in front, and the black holes were ready to fire.

The captain of the Victory stared at Cicero's fleet without blinking, and if they dared to approach and gallop into the warning range, he would order them to be shot at and send them to the bottom of the sea.

As the two sides got closer and closer, Marquis Hagrid's hideous and distorted face became more and more fanatical, and he said to himself: "As long as I win, as long as I win......"

But the SS battle flag flying high on the Victory was divided into dazzling eyes in the eyes of Marquis Hagrid, looking at the SS battle flag with a black label on a red background, Marquis Hagrid's heart thought of the clergy and nobles who had fallen under the guns of the SS.

The Victory sounded the trumpet of evasion, and the Cicero Navy saw that the sailors of the Victory were also preparing for battle, but the Victory's huge fitness did not mean to avoid them.

In the midst of this kind of confrontation, which was full of dangers, the thought of the SS on the other side killing people like slaughtering dogs, the Cicero Navy was first weak-hearted.

Some people in the Cicero Imperial Navy couldn't bear it, and although they hadn't yet entered the range, someone had already taken the lead in pulling the trigger.

Immediately, a crossbow bolt inlaid with explosive crystals slashed through a poignant arc and flew towards the battleship.

The Cicero Navy, which had been thinking about the consequences of the attack on the SS, saw that someone was the first to fire, and subconsciously pulled the trigger, and another row of crossbow arrows flew towards the Victory.

The rest of the battleships of the Cicero Empire thought that they had received orders, and they all immediately pulled the triggers and shot the crossbow arrows mounted in front of them at the towering battleship.

It's just that although those crossbow arrows are already quite advanced projection weapons in this era, their range is not far.

Before the arrows could reach the battleship, they had lost their strength and fell into the sea.

But the arrows were all inlaid with expensive and powerful explosive crystals. The crystals fell into the water, were shocked, and exploded.

'Boom'

"Boom"

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......"

In that series of explosions, a column of water splashed into the sky, obscuring the sight of both sides.

Seeing the crossbow bolts explode far away from him, Lorraine was stunned, and everyone on the Victory was stunned.

Even though Lord Luo is wise and martial, he has no last resort, known as 'what to strategize, what to win', he knows the girls in the pit, and he knows the shoes in the pit, but he didn't expect that the commander of the other party would be so brain-dead.

Originally, he thought that this was just a game of boldness, just like the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Cold War, and he did a lot of work, but everyone dared to pull the trigger.

During the confrontation, as long as the other party dared to advance a little more, it would be enough to fire a few cannons to scare away the navy, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually be dizzy and dare to rush up with the whole army and fight a decisive battle with himself.

Even if the opponent's eyes are blind, he can still see the flying eagle battle flag fluttering on his battleship.

But what does it mean that they are still rushing up?

This is war

This represented the Cicero Empire's declaration of war on the Juman Empire

And it's like when the turnips attacked Pearl Harbor first, and then sent a declaration of war, it was a shameful, undeclared war

At this time, I saw that the battleships on the opposite side were getting closer and closer.

Leo saw it, and immediately shouted angrily, and said: "His grandmother's circle is forked, they are a declaration of war to eat fruits, what are you still stunned about, open the cannon, open the cannon to sink those bastards"

With his reminder, the officers were also angry and red-eyed.

Grandpa is right, the Confucian Empire has always played hooligans on others, but this time he was molested by others, and he was holding a watermelon knife in his hand...... Uh, no, it's a battleship.

Who the fuck would believe that this is true?

Everyone will be embarrassed to say hello when they go out to nightclubs or something in the future

The captain's eyes instantly turned red, and he shouted hoarsely at the top of his voice: "**, open the gun." ”

The officers also roared angrily, saying, "Open the cannon, open the cannon, and give me those bastards raised by dogs."

As the order was laid, the guns on the battleship immediately roared.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......"

It's as if the earth was torn apart, and the blazing magma of hell erupted.

On the three decks, a total of more than 50 guns spewed red flames and billowing smoke.

This salvo, just the shells that were projected, weighed half a ton.

You can see how powerful it is.

Propelled by gunpowder, the shells were ejected from the muzzles, tearing the air and making a sharp whistling sound.

Directly in front of them, like vicious wolves, they pounced viciously towards the battleship, and the three Cicero battleships immediately seemed to have been punched head-on by an invisible giant, and they were immediately smashed into pieces of wood and flew in a mess.

But that's just the beginning.

The shells were all filled with gunpowder, and after shattering the planks that stood in front of it, leaving a terrible hole, the seamen in the cabin were beaten on their backs, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.

When he was finally exhausted, he landed in the cabin, rolling back and forth on the wooden floor.

Nearby, the seafarers, who had narrowly escaped, got up from the ground and looked in horror at the heavy black iron ball in front of them.

Having never seen anything like it before, they saw with a curious and horrified gaze that the lead above burned with a degree that was visible to the naked eye.

Someone tried to reach out and pick up the iron ball, but at this moment, the lead on the iron ball was already burning to the end.

Immediately, a flame burst into the sky.

In a violent explosion, the shells shattered, and the irregular pieces of iron swept wildly and violently across the cabin. Like the grim reaper smiling and waving the sickle in his hand, he reaped life to his heart's content.

After the first shelling, the three battleships were already on fire, lost their degrees and slowly stopped.

At this time, the battleships that were in the rear were still under the effect of inertia, galloped past the three battleships, and rushed forward.

And the artillerymen on the battleship were already desperately reloading their shells in the merciless shouting and kicking of the officers, pouting their butts, braving the choking smoke of the cannon fire and the billowing heat.

Immediately, with an order, dozens of artillery pieces were fired again.

Immediately, two more battleships caught fire and slowly stopped.

And I don't know which guy who took the shit luck, aimed at a battleship next to him and fired a shot, and immediately hit the warehouse on the battleship where the explosive crystals were stored, which immediately caused terrible consequences.

In the deafening explosion, purple flames rose into the sky. This is a unique phenomenon that occurs when the Explosive Crystal does not fully explode.

Immediately afterward, a violent shock wave swept across the sea, and several ships next to the battleship that blew kept coming back and shaking.

Immediately, under the gaze of everyone, the battleship made a heart-rending sound, immediately broke into two, and then slowly sank into the water like a lead ball.

Maybe it's too heroic, maybe it's because I'm stunned by the beating, and I haven't reacted yet. Or maybe they were provoked by the death and wounds of those warships,

At the same time as the battleship that had stopped the fire was stopped, dozens more battleships passed through the billowing smoke, revealing their bodies.

With an extremely heroic attitude, they rushed towards the battleship.

Having learned the lesson they had just learned, and at this point, even though they were already within the range of their crossbows, these warriors still braved the threat of death and desperately rushed forward to close the distance between them and the battleships in order to be able to make their crossbows as lethal as possible.

At this time, the short guns located in the battleship department also joined the chorus of the group guns. The short cannon could shoot shells weighing up to fifty kilograms.

The two stubby cannons slammed into the Cicero warships, which looked like merchant ships.

Everyone watched as only one of the two cannons could break the bones and tendons of the two warships, one on the left and one on the right, and then sank to the bottom of the water in the blink of an eye like a buffalo whose head was being pressed by a giant to drink water.

But more warships still rushed forward without fear of death.

It's just that due to the limited sea surface, they have been blocked by the battleship that is on fire in front of them, or is sinking, so they have to turn the rudder and bypass some distance so as not to be swept into the vortex caused by the sinking ship.

Although the vortex looks inconspicuous, it is powerful, even if it can't tear the involved battleship apart, but it is enough to make it turn dizzy in the vortex.

When Lorraine saw this, he couldn't help but admire, these Cicero's navy is really fucking good, it's a pity that they have a 2b commander.

Just like the unparalleled German Corps in the world back then, but they had a name called 'Hitler', the Yuan who was married to close relatives, no matter how brave those soldiers were, in addition to showing the incompetence of the officers, they could only end up in a cup.

When he saw the warships outflanking him, he smiled and shouted, "Sail sidesail, go straight with the wind."

At his command, the sailors on deck immediately pulled the sails with all their strength.

With a 'bang', all three huge sails were immediately raised. The sails, which covered an area of nearly 6,000 square meters, immediately puffed up high under the blowing of the sea breeze.

The battleship then started and slowly galloped forward.

On top of Cicero's flagship, Marquis Hagrid looked at it, and immediately let out a cheer, and said, "Aha, they are going to escape." Brethren, go up. Grab the ship and capture Lorraine alive. I'm rewarded."

His voice was a little hoarse and unpleasant due to his excitement, but it did not prevent the herald next to him from pulling at his throat and screaming desperately to pass the order down.

Through the sea breeze, the sound was clearly heard on the battleship.

Leo looked at Lorraine Tieqing's face, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Boss, boss, did you hear it, they want to capture you alive." Hahaha......"

The elephant next to him was also grinning, smiling evilly, revealing a gloating look.

Lorraine snorted coldly, and then said: "Anyway, I still captured it alive, but the grandfather is on the boat, and he looks like a dog, so he can see it at a glance." But he didn't seem to even mention it. I didn't take my grandfather into account at all. ”

Leo's smiling face froze suddenly. This scoundrel is like all children, and what he hates most is that others don't take him seriously, and many times, he even makes a big prank, just to get the attention of others.

At the beginning, he was helping Catherine escape thousands of miles, and when he knew that the prime minister had issued a bounty order, and knew that he was only worth a mere hundred gold coins, he was still very thunderous, and strongly demanded the same bounty treatment as everyone else, which is the reason.

He turned his head to look at the battleship at the moment, bared his white baby teeth, gritted his teeth incessantly, and scolded: "I don't even take my master and me in my eyes."

Brothers, work harder, don't give me face, fight very hard. After they were overturned, I used the company's business fee to transfer it out for a treat, and everyone worked together. ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered that it was inappropriate, but he used his position as the chairman of the company to commit fraud, and this was set up, which was half a private treasury, bypassing the company's budget. Not many people know.

But at this time, under the excitement, he broke out in public.

In case Catherine knew, a meal of fried pork slices with bamboo shoots would definitely not be able to run away.

He hurriedly glanced at Lorraine, and when he saw that he was still holding the binoculars, engrossed in observing the enemy situation on the other side, and did not seem to hear what he had just said, he was relieved.

The battleship, though seemingly slow, was in the limelight and a generation ahead of the Cicero in design, but it was extremely fast, and it only took a distance to leave the ships behind.

However, at this point it stopped again. Then he turned around, occupied the most advantageous and famous T-shaped head in the naval battle, and aimed the side of the ship on the other side at the ships that caught up.

This tactic, from the era when the British Empire was playing hooliganism, the most famous double-flower red stick Nelson swept the French and Spanish coalition forces in Trafalgar, until the Battle of Jutland, or the British Empire's Admiral Jericho played a large-scale turn, and put on the largest "t'" formation in history against the German Scheer red stick. It is the most powerful tactic of the era of cannon and giant ship victory.

For when the enemy was lined up in columns and could only use the ballistas in the bow, this battleship met with the most powerful firepower on the broadside.

Isn't it clear who is superior and who is inferior, who wins and who loses?

At this time, those Cicero warships had already understood a little, but Marquis Hagrid, in just a moment's time, he had already lost ten warships, and the heavy loss made him feel like his heart was bleeding.

But it was impossible for him to stop. Even if he didn't say it, this was a serious crime that challenged the Juman Empire, that is, the responsibility for the loss of the warship, and he couldn't afford to investigate it by the Admiralty.

He is like a gambler who has lost a lot of money, and at this moment, he can only gamble hard.

Under his strict orders, the battleships had to bite the bullet and rush towards the battleships.

Seeing them in range, Lorraine immediately gave the order.

As a burst of artillery fire covered the past, three more battleships sank to the bottom.

Then three more ......

When the Cicero warships saw this, they were immediately terrified.

m1gbd

What is this?

Even if a monster eats people, it has to spit out bones. But this huge battleship, when it kills people, does not even vomit bones.

After a roar, three battleships sank underwater, and with a bang, three battleships sank underwater. It's as easy as eating bean sprouts.

And the most hateful thing is that it actually plays a hunter's unique skill, kiteing. After firing a burst of cannons, he saw everyone pressing over, and immediately fled far away. I can't even get a corner of my clothes.

, even brushing the legendary "Wailing Cave", there is no such brush

Come on, you're all human, not brainless monsters.

Ignoring Marquis Hagrid's orders, they turned the bow of the ship and fled backwards.

Marquis Hagrid saw it, and scolded angrily: "A bunch of bastard things, cowards, I want to report back to the Admiralty, I want to report to Your Majesty, I want to cut you all over the door, all of you are beheaded, not one is left, even the consumptions in the family are taken out, all of them are strangled, and none of them are left."

When Leo saw it, he was furious at the moment, and he also scolded loudly, and said, "They ran away." The master's anger hasn't gone down yet, hurry up and catch up with me, hurry up

If they can't hold back the hatred, they'll all run away."

With his shout, the battleship made a beautiful turn in an arc across the sea, and then rushed straight towards Marquis Hagrid's flagship.

Marquis Hagrid was originally located behind the battle, and he was known as a master of the overall situation and supervised the battle. In fact, it is a loud slogan: "I will eat meat, and I will send you to death." ”

Urging others to die, staining their own medals with their blood.

At this time, the warships set sail and fled, revealing him immediately.

Marquis Hagrid was scolding the fleeing cowards, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he turned around, he saw that the battleship was swooping down on this side with the momentum of Mount Tai.

The valiant Marquis, who had been scolding others for their cowardice a minute before, was immediately frightened.

It is one thing to sit in the back and encourage others to die, but it is another thing to face the muzzle of the black hole.

He immediately waved his hands, screamed, and said, "Turn the rudder, turn the rudder." Hurry up and turn the rudder. We are fleeing, the enemy is coming, we are fleeing"

As he screamed, the crotch of his pants somehow became wet all of a sudden.

When the sailors saw his appearance, they couldn't help but look disgusted.

Is this the kind of courage that this commander is still commanding the navy?

What a pity for those colleagues who died heroically

But in spite of this, in order to escape the battleship that was chasing after them with great vigour, and wanted to hold back the hatred and leave them behind, they hurried over, and fought desperately with the rudder behind them, trying to turn their heads and escape from the battlefield.

But at that time, in order to pursue, improve the degree, they raised the full sail. At this time, it is extremely difficult to turn around.

By the time they had turned the bow of the ship with ease, the battleship had already rushed over.

Because of the speed, the battleship almost overran it.

Immediately afterwards, a loud noise was seen from the thick mortar cannon in the bow of the ship.

Immediately, Hagrid appeared in front of his battleship, and a huge column of water several feet high was stirred up.

Someone on the battleship shouted loudly, saying, "Surrender and don't kill, or you will be sunk and surrender quickly."

The sailors fell silent, and then they all looked at Marquis Hagrid.

It is completely different from those cannon fodder armies, 'to hold on desperately for the last five minutes and fight until the last moment'. They are all high-tech members of the navy, and because of their long years of fighting the unpredictable sea, they have developed the habit of valuing life.

When you know that you can't do something, surrendering is not a shameful choice.

And to die with such a commander, they can't afford to lose that person

Marquis Hagrid saw the ill-intentioned gazes of everyone, and suddenly understood that if he did not surrender, then these ruffians would let themselves be killed in battle.

He immediately deflated like a punctured balloon and muttered, "I...... I surrender ......"

With his command, the most powerful warship of the Cicero Empire lowered its mainsail. Lost momentum and stopped helplessly in the middle of the sea.

On their side, the sailors of the battleship condescended, looking at the trophy with the pride characteristic of a victor.

At that moment, a young girl's voice shouted, "It's them, it's the pirates, and I'm not wrong about knowing them." Even if they are turned to ashes, I know them."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then turned their heads to look, and saw a clipper ship raising its sails, fleeing out under the cover of the island in the distance.

Originally, it was inconspicuous hidden among the naval warships, but it parted ways with the navy and was immediately revealed.

When Lorraine saw this, he finally understood, no wonder the grandson was like eating clenbuterol, it turned out that he had colluded with pirates

Fearing that the other party would have a magician attack, in order to suppress the enemy, Lester laid an ambush in an extremely insidious way, intending to plot against the other party.

But he didn't expect that he didn't have the opportunity to play at all, and he just solved the problem with naval guns.

It's been a long time. At this time, seeing the enemy's battleship leaving, he immediately laughed and said, "Leave this matter to me."

As he spoke, he jumped into the air and galloped out quickly.
