Chapter 1366: Won the Fight (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The Elven Kingdom's huge naval fleet was divided into two groups, blocking the Semitic navy from the south and west respectively.
The Ruman Empire, consisting of a fleet of battleships and fast gunboats, turned back at high speed, blocking the sea route to the east of the Semitic navy.
Seeing that he had been completely surrounded, the Semitic fleet immediately fell into chaos.
Seeing that the general situation was gone, Admiral Orgen, who commanded the fleet, immediately made a decision and ordered the entire fleet to turn around and break through to the west with all its might.
Although this order is clear and unambiguous, at this moment, it is an almost impossible task for the Semitic navy.
In the previous naval battles, the Semitic navy relied on its ships to chase the Ruman fleet all the way.
In order to snatch the merits of the battle, they almost swarmed up, and they didn't care about the formation at all. As a result, the entire fleet is stretched extremely long, and the spacing between ships is small.
At this time, the southern sea area was blocked by the elven navy that suddenly appeared, and if you want to turn around, it is not easy to say.
If it was in the past, they could also hope that the war fortress would provide cover from the sky and tear a bloody path for them. But now in the sky, the war fortress of Maple Leaf Danlin has also rushed to join the battle.
The war fortress of the undead has been dragged to the death, and it is completely caught in a bitter battle with the Maple Leaf Danlin people.
The scale of this air battle is unprecedented on the entire planet since the beginning of historical records.
In order to win the victory, both sides invested almost all their strength, fighting fiercely under the dark clouds and in the midst of the blowing wind and snow.
If it was in the past, it would have been just war fortresses bombarding each other.
During this period of time, the undead have also accumulated rich experience in the air battle with the Feng Army. And relying on their numerical superiority, they will not fall behind.
However, what is different now and in the past is the appearance of the Eagle fighter.
This is a new type of weapon, specially designed to hunt war fortresses. Appeared by seizing air supremacy~!
Its appearance is not just a weapon, but more importantly, it represents a new military concept.
If you want to win, you must take the sky.
This advanced concept was far beyond its time, so much so that when the battle fortress was fierce in the sky, few people were still aware of its arrival.
The stubborn and clumsy strategists had just been baptized with machine guns, and had just gotten rid of the tactics of the group, so that the poor soldiers under their command were no longer in line. the guns that are walking to feed the machine guns.
Even though the generals around Lord Luo were not less influenced by him, they were madly believing in the doctrine of 'cannon giant ships' at this time.
Lord Luo's advanced military concept is beyond their two eras.
At this time, this advanced military concept finally proved its correctness in actual combat.
Those Hawks are like swift and ruthless assassins.
Tiny figures fly at high speed in the middle of the battlefield. Shuttling back and forth, rushing out from time to time, giving the undead a fatal blow.
The 40mm gun in the nose of the Eagle has excellent pointing ability, and the relatively straight trajectory allows the pilot to not have to think too much about the ballistic drop when attacking.
At a distance of about a mile, it can be said that it refers to where to hit.
Often, several Hawks work together.
One feint to cover, two low-altitude sneakers, slammed up underneath the enemy's war fortress, and bombarded the base of the undead war fortress with artillery.
Just one or two shots. You can blast open the base and blow up the magic array at the bottom of the war fortress, causing the war fortress to lose power and fall from the sky.
Or, take advantage of the high altitude and high speed of the eagle style, jump directly into the sky, and then go above the head of the enemy's war fortress. Dive straight down and blast the enemy's magic cannon with concentrated fire.
Blowing up the enemy's magic cannon with a high-explosive cannonball, if you're lucky, may even cause the magic element of the magic cannon to be disturbed and cause a martyrdom.
Or then there is the attack on the command platform on the fortress of war. The cannonballs are as powerful as the Great Mage's firecrackers. Once they hit the command platform, even if they are lichs, they will either be killed or injured.
Those eagles coordinated extremely tacitly, and in just a few minutes, they could easily take down a war fortress of the undead.
The undead who fight want to die. Soul Flying.
The dark mages on those war fortresses now are quite grassy, and as long as they see the eagle-like figure like black lightning, they immediately turn to dodge at a large angle.
Although the undead war fortress has a numerical advantage, it is like a herd of bison being chased by vicious dogs, and can only dodge everywhere, not daring to fight head-on at all.
Loss of vital air superiority. The Semitic navy's plan to open the siege with a war fortress fell through.
Now they can only rush south, using the north wind to push the speed of the ship to the fastest, hoping to penetrate the formation of the elven navy and open a way of life.
As for the rest of the direction, this will already be out of the question.
More than 1,500 warships on the sea unfolded a wide battlefield with a length of more than ten nautical miles.
The two battleships converted from the Royal Ark of the Elven Kingdom Navy are exerting powerful firepower at this moment, and the number of guns on these two ships is nearly half more than that of the Victory class.
Under the dense artillery fire, the Semitic warship close to the Ark Royal was quickly shot and sank.
And the elven navy guarding the two wings of the Royal Ark also bravely rushed up to intercept the enemy's southward escape.
The sharp-shaped elven naval warships were attached to it and engaged the Semitic warships at close range, and a large number of elven warships formed a front line to stop the Semitic fleet.
The battleships fired at the enemy with guns over the front.
Naval warfare has again become the traditional ballista fire and jumping to the broadside.
Captain Glendin, who has been paying attention to the elven navy, looked at it from afar and sneered, these guys in the elven kingdom have battleships, and they still play this tactic of the last era with the enemy, it is really stupid enough, and when they come back, they must laugh at those elven navy.
However, Captain Glending didn't know that almost all the artillery purchased by the Elven Kingdom from the Flying Eagle Group was here at the moment.
Despite the price of affection, artillery, shells and training artillery are already an astronomical high price.
Lorraine paid in installments, bartered goods, and offset many convenient conditions with tariffs, and the elven people donated money one after another under the call of the royal family, and sold iron to buy more than 300 cannons.
King Callion IV contributed his own royal ark to rebuild two battleships.
However, the Elven Navy also immediately possessed nearly half of the world's battleships - there were only five in the world.
I saw the Elven Kingdom Navy and the Semitic Navy shooting at each other with ballistas and bows at close range. Seize the opportunity to slam into it with the hard ramming angles of the bow, then hop on the "crow's beak", a springboard with a hook on the head, and jump onto the enemy's battleship for hand-to-hand combat.
The army of the elven kingdom is unknown, but the elite rangers are famous all over the world, giving the world the impression that elves are not good at melee combat.
But in fact, the elven kingdom hangs alone, with the navy as the foundation of national strength, and the navy's sailors are extremely combative. Tactically masterful.
When attacking, there are also crossbowmen who shoot the enemy's leader with precision on the mast.
The Semitic navy was kind of kicked into an iron plate, and the battleships they had put up for melee combat were stopped on this front line.
This will make the Semitic sailors also risk their lives, and if they can't break through the siege, they all have to be explained here today. One after another, the battleships rushed up, first ramming violently, then sticking to the side of the ship, and the sailors rushed up with shouts.
There were constantly screams and people falling from the ship into the icy sea, and in a short period of time, a layer of corpses was already floating in the sea close to the two warships, and the surging waves turned pink.
The officers and men of Ruman on the battleship watched with enthusiasm, they also fought like this two years ago.
No matter how much Captain Glending laughed at the elves for being a generation behind, he used to command like this. I have only been rich for a few days, and I look down on my class brothers.
At this time, Captain Glendin also had to admit that the overall Su zhì of the elven navy was indeed stronger than his own subordinates.
Those dead sissies are ruthless, and they dare to fight hard.
Compared to the enemy's Ark Royal, its Victory has no advantage other than being equipped with a steam engine.
But the steam engine has nothing to do with them.
"I'm being compared to someone~!"
This thought made Captain Glending a little angry. He slammed his cigar to the ground, lifted his shiny leather boots and crushed them fiercely, and roared, "Don't fucking sleepwalk, beat me hard, and kick the shit out of the demon stomach." ”
The officers and soldiers shouted in unison, and they also felt in their hearts that they could not let the elves sissies be flattened, and let them laugh at themselves for being useless except artillery.
The firepower of the battleships was even more ferocious, and the high-morale fast gunboats even bravely inserted into the enemy's fleet. Fight bayonets with cannons and shoot wildly at soldiers and superstructures on Semitic ships at close range.
The entire superstructure of a Semitic battleship, exposed to the fire of the Ruman fleet, was blown up by fast gunboats.
The three masts were long gone, and the deck was full of soldiers killed by the artillery, and blood was running down the deck and dripping into the sea. There were not a few living people left on the entire battleship.
Several gunboats were staring at it, and the columns of water from the shells kept splashing in front and back of the battleship, and two large holes had been blown out of the hull.
The battleship that had lost its mast could only wobble and drift on the sea.
The gunboat, like a shark smelling blood, rushed up to the bottom of the ocean at close range.
At this moment, a striking white flag suddenly rose on the dilapidated Semitic warship, and a Semitic vigorously waved the white cloth tied to the wooden stick.
This made the officers and men of the Ruman Navy on the gunboat look at each other, and they did not expect the enemy to surrender.
But on second thought, what if it doesn't surrender?
Losing the sails, most of the crew members were killed or wounded, and not surrendering could only lead to death.
The Ruman Navy had no idea of containing prisoners on the fierce battlefield in front of them, and a gunboat leaned in and glanced at the Semitic warship, which was barely able to float.
Dozens of wounded Semites on the deck of the battleship stood under the white flag, with a look of resignation, looking blankly at the black guns on the gunboat.
The captain of the gunboat waved his hand at them and said loudly: "In accordance with the provisions of the Geneva Conventions, we guarantee your safety, now, throw your weapons into the sea, stay here honestly, and come to contain you when the fight is over." ”
The Semitic sailors on board threw all their swords into the sea, and then sat down without saying a word among the corpses on deck, holding the white flag high.
After the surrender of the first Semitic warship, the battleships in the vicinity, bathed in strong artillery fire, also raised the white flag.
They can't outrun the human battleship, and there's no point in holding on.
This greatly satisfied Captain Glendin, and the surrender was the beginning of the enemy's collapse.
He had already won the battle. However, he would not be in the mood to collect the prisoners of war, but according to the rules of the navy, let the surrendered Semitic soldiers throw away all their weapons, cut off their sails, and even cut off their masts, and stop where they were.
Compared with the vulgar mud legs of the army, the navy is a high-tech branch of the armed forces and an elite. Their wartime practices are more civilized. As long as it is a surrendered enemy naval warship, the officers and men will generally be treated reasonably.
After a long fierce battle with the battleship fleet, the Semitic navy, which had broken ships, saw that the general trend was gone, and most of them chose to surrender.
There are also stubbornness. The Semitic captain who was ready to resist to the end and intend to report himself to the High Priest, but at this time his men were often the first to stand up against it.
After a short white-knuckle battle, the captain and his men who wanted to resist were torn apart by sailors who wanted to live, and the battleship quickly raised the white flag, fearing that if it was slow for a second, it would attract countless shells.
In the center of the Semitic fleet, Admiral Eugen let out a feeble sigh and a wail in his heart. Secret road: Lose all the games~!
"I shouldn't have listened to the lich's nonsense. Admiral Orgen scolded directly in front of his subordinates, and said angrily: "I didn't agree with this hellish raid plan in the first place. ”
After speaking, there was another long sigh.
The officers under the Admiral were all dead and silent, like wooden men.
At this time, it was too late to say anything more regretful, and the fleet was surrounded on three sides and could not break out for a long time.
"Think of a way, what else can we do?" cried Admiral Orgen in a manic loud voice in the cabin of the flagship.
In case of defeat. Even if he could break through, what awaited him was the relentless wrath of the High Priest.
The soldiers and civilians under his command looked at each other, and then lowered their heads to look at the battleship's toes, and no one dared to look up at the admiral.
"Samuel, you say. Orgen casually ordered someone.
Colonel Semu squeaked for a moment, and then said, "Maybe we should connect all the battleships and ...... like a land battle."
Admiral Olgen angrily grabbed him by the collar and put it against his face and yelled, "Idiot, stupid. The enemy has artillery~!"
Colonel Samue grimaced and reached out in despair.
At this moment, a black figure swooped down from the sky and rushed straight into the flagship's cabin.
"Who~!" the guards roared, drew their swords and aimed them at the figure that suddenly rushed in.
The dark shadow stood in front of the crowd, revealing a pair of glowing green eyes characteristic of the Lich.
"Master Marcel~!" Admiral Orgen pushed aside the crowd as if he had seen a savior, and grabbed the hand of the Lich Marcel tightly. With an anxious expression, he said: "The fleet is surrounded, and we need air power to support the breakthrough." ”
The Lich Marcel was silent for a moment, and then said in a hoarse voice, "I'm here to inform the General that the energy hedron of the War Fortress is about to run out, and we are about to retreat. ”
For Admiral Orgen, it was a bolt from the blue, and Marcel's words directly sentenced him and the Semitic naval fleet to death.
Without aerial cover, the war fortress of the Maple Leaf Danlin can blow them up like twisted ants.
"You can't do this~!" Admiral Orgen yelled angrily at the lich, "We still have a chance, it's going to be dark soon, we can break through at night." ”
The Lich Marcel was unmoved, and said coldly in a hoarse voice: "The energy of the war fortress is not enough to hold out overnight, and if you don't retreat in time, all the war fortresses will not be able to return to Ryder." ”
In the Lich's view, a fortress of war as a strategic force is naturally much more important than a naval fleet.
Admiral Orgen was stunned for a moment, and then with a miserable expression, he pleaded: "Master, you can't do this, for the sake of the Semitic tribe, for the sake of the high priest, pull the brothers~!"
The Lich Marcel shook his head resolutely and said, "I can't destroy the war fortress too. ”
"Then you can let our Semitic navy run out~!" Admiral Orgen finally couldn't hold back the outburst, glaring at the lich Marcel and roaring sharply.
Marcel flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "You are the commander of the navy, I don't care how to beat you." ”
Orgen trembled angrily, stretched out his fingers and pointed at the lich Marcel with trembling fingers, gritted his teeth and said with a hideous expression: "Okay, you are ruthless enough, you wait for me, I will accuse you of the crime of escaping in front of the high priest." ”
The Lich Marcel also jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, and said fiercely at Orgen: "If you can't win the enemy's fleet, you don't have the ability to do it yourself, what does it have to do with me, we have lost more than thirty today, and we have done our best." ”
Orgen sneered, and Sen Sen said, "Do you think the High Priest will believe you?"
The Lich Marcel was stunned, turned and walked out of the cabin, and said, "You still care about yourself." ”
Disappeared into the frenzied air in an instant.
Admiral Orgen looked at the battleship huddled outside the cabin, speechless.
After a while, Sai Miao whispered behind him, "General, what should we do?"
Admiral Orgen turned around and smiled miserably, his eyes became hollow, and he said weakly: "What else can I do?" that bastard of the High Priest used us Semitic as a tool for his ambitions, and now we are abandoned, abandoned like a broken rag doll~!"
He sat down on the beautiful seat, bowed his head and waved his hand, and said, "Tell the whole army to fend for yourself."
This war was a mistake from the start, but unfortunately I understood it too late. ”
It was getting dark, and with a sharp roar, the war fortress of the undead clan all hid in the clouds and fled the battlefield quickly, and the Maple Leaf Danlin people rushed forward after him.
The flagship's order to "make its own decisions" was conveyed, and the captains understood that the defeat was decided.
This surprise attack, which was full of confidence from the beginning, turned into a joke that fell into the net. In fact, the moment the elven navy appeared, defeat was already doomed.
The naval ships on the periphery that were fighting fiercely with the Ruman fleet and the elven fleet gradually all hoisted their white flags, and the warships slightly behind were still a little hesitant because they did not face the pressure of artillery fire, hoping for the last trace of luck.
And the convoy of transports in the center, which was protected by the Semitic navy, knew that the tide was turning, and they turned around and sailed to the northern coast, carrying infantry on them. The captains are still doing their last bit of effort.
All of these transports would run aground on the beach or reef, where they would stop and wait to be captured by humans.
But it was about to get dark, and the infantry could hurry up and leave the ship and wade ashore.
As for their fate once they go ashore, it is not up to the captains to manage, maybe they will find the Semitic army on land, maybe they will plunge headlong into the human encirclement, it depends on their luck.
As for their navy, they have done their best, but the enemy is too strong, and they have a bunch of teammates who are like pigs and are trying to kill their fathers.
At the top of the Temple of Light, Lorraine put down the binoculars, rubbed her sour eyes, then stretched her waist for a long time, sighed, and said, "I can sleep well tonight." ”
When Lord Lorraine dragged his tired body into the Papal Palace, which had not slept for several days, he drove everyone out, and opened his arms to hold Schillelia and Vera in his arms.
At this time, the Vatino City erupted in earth-shattering cheers.
The cheer resounded like a tide through the heavens and the earth, reaching into the sky.
Sillmelia's pretty face was pressed against Lorraine's shoulder, and she asked softly, "Won?"
"Well, I won~!"
