1916 Who's the Bait (7)
At the moment of launch, the Imperial Fleet formed a wall of smoke about 100 meters long on the surface of the sea of smoke, a column of water rising into the sky, the light of the fire reflected on the tumbling seawater, and the amazing air flow was like a huge scimitar crashing into the hull of the Strant battleship loaded with iron plates, and under the reflection of the bursting fire, it flashed with a cold light that made people's hearts palpitate.
The Alien group of ships was like a huge arc up, staring at the artillery fire. The Strand Navy, which possesses the wind, is extremely fast,
The sails were fully raised, and the white waves of the wheels on both sides were rolling, although a medium-sized battleship was severely damaged from 600 meters away, but for the Strand Navy, which numbered 220 ships, this loss was insignificant.
On the contrary, the Falcon Navy's amazing long-range attack made all the warship captains feel like a collective shot of chicken blood, 600 meters ...... The engagement was started in advance, and with that medium battleship as an example, who would be able to swim with a full cannon,
The sea was full of smoke, and the Thunder God gun muzzle of the Falcon Navy opposite was constantly spewing out white smoke. Like a volcanic eruption, countless black fireballs erupted from the falconry empire fleet, booming!
With a salvo, the white smoke in the gun compartment was filled, the Strand side was downwind, the Falcon Navy was a headwind, the sea breeze rolled upside down with the pungent smell of sulfur, and the head and face were rushed, "cough cough" The imperial sailors in the gun compartment choked and coughed violently, and the eyes of the sulfur thorn couldn't be opened, "Reload, fast!" But the artillery bombarders couldn't care so much, the speed of the opposing fleet group approaching was very fast, three or four rounds of Thor fired continuously, and the gunners had reached the point where they needed to cover their mouths and noses with wet towels.
"Shoot. Shoot with all your might!"
The captains shouted almost frantically in the gun compartment, and the fierce cannon fire rained down on it, and countless columns of water rose from the boiling sea.
"Bang Bang" A huge hull of a heavy tonnage driving in the front was hit and exploded on the spot,
The "whoosh" waves were weighed down by the heavy bow of this Poseidon-class giant ship, and turned into a scattered splash.
The battleship still rushed out of the smoke and fire like a giant beast, swaying, and although the iron armor outside had been torn apart by a large hole, the battleship had already been released, ignoring the flames that had rolled up under the hull, and carried the flames hula forward. Straight towards the rising queue of the falcon fleet,
The cannonballs fell again, the firelight was dense around it like spores that suddenly bloomed in the sea, the water column soared into the sky, the white waves pushed forward with the bow of the ship, and the Thor bullets dragging the tail of thick smoke were dense like torrential rain, and the fireball crossed the sea with whistling and flames and smashed into the oncoming Strand battleship on the opposite side, and the iron ball rotated at high speed. With a violent whistling sound, it hit the bow of a Strange battleship, splintering wood flew sideways, and the sturdy iron bow was also disemboweled. As a violent explosion came from the battleship's interior, the items inside the battleship were like a hurricane, and every obstacle was crushed, and the hull of the battleship that was hit shook violently. The speed quickly stopped, the entire bow of the ship disappeared, and the sea water poured in. "Sure enough, the other party thought of sacrificing these large heavy ships in exchange for the opportunity to get closer!" Dustrunkai, who was standing on the flagship, saw this scene from the lookout scope, licked his lips, and said to himself, without showing the slightest panic of being ambushed, and the adjutant hurriedly came over from him and reported, "Commander, that Amu secretly jumped into the sea just now!"
"Is it time to go, do you want to stay here and wait for us to be caught?" Dustrunkay put down the lookout glasses in his hand and ordered, "Order the fleet to start moving!"
On Strant's flagship, an adjutant is nervously reporting the damage "Battleship Rita has been badly damaged"
"...... the battleship Amido was sunk" "The battleship Jacques was shattered," "Is that all" Commander Frank Ferengia asked in a condensed voice, gathered his collar, faced the blazing hot wind, listened to the names of the battle damage in his ears, and watched a medium-sized battleship on his side being exploded into a ball of fire by the other party, his expression was as cold as steel,
The Thor of the Falcon Empire Navy is indeed amazing, but the opponent's Thor bullet inventory should also be about to run out, this is still the case that the other party is caught off guard, it is hard to imagine what kind of tragic scene it will be in the case of a head-on battle, it is no wonder that the Falcon Navy can defeat the navies of the two empires of Gaul and Gangfei! Although the losses had been anticipated for a long time, and the most heavily armored heavy battleships were deliberately placed in front of the fore, so that these heavy battleships could become the shield of the entire fleet, the battle damage from the front was still painful, and it was the bravest warrior of the sea country.
They are using their blood and sacrifice to open the future for the sea country
"Order the heavy battleships ahead, swing the spindle array!"
Seeing that the heavy battleship at the front had broken through 200 meters, Furengia thought that the opportunity for a full-scale counterattack was ripe, and immediately gave the order to change the attack array, and at the same time, he also saw that the Falcon Navy on the opposite side began to adjust the formation, from a line of inclination, to a figure of eight array that could both attack and withdraw at any time
"It's really not challenging, I want to run now!" Seeing the arrangement of the Falcon Navy battleships, the corner of Fulengia's mouth sneered,
He was very satisfied with the current battle situation, he could see that the Falcon Empire fleet had indeed consumed most of the Thor bullets in the first six days, so in the fierce battle just now, the fleet of his side suffered heavy losses, and the Falcon Empire fleet on the opposite side was no better.
The counterattack of our navy was also fierce at the same time,
"Attack'The tense trebuchets on the battleship Alien made a piercing whistling on the deck, and countless lit fireballs rose from the sky above the Battleship Group of Alient, like stars appearing in the daytime, bringing out graceful and deadly arcs, and the trebuchets of the Alien Navy smashed all kinds of catapults like raindrops,
The warships of the Falcon Empire, except for the Dragon class, as the backbone of the fleet, are smaller than the Strand Navy in size, and they were suddenly smashed by rocks and splintered logs, fireballs were peeled off the deck, the heart-rending howls of the wounded sailors, the ignited canvas was blown by the wind, and the huge sound of "boom" was heard. The tail rudder of an Imperial battleship turned into pieces of wood in the rocks, and the entire battleship suddenly lost its balance and spun across the sea, and after being hit on the weak side deck more than a dozen times in a row, it was finally blasted open by the explosion A huge hole,
The body of the sailor and the cargo in the cabin flowed back with the seawater poured into it, floating on the surface of the sea, and was squeezed by the waves of the nearby wingmen speeding by
"Beautiful!"
The corners of Fulengia's mouth were grinning, this time the real victory was in her hands, and the opponent's terrifying and breathtaking volley was no longer afraid. The Falcon Empire fleet, which once crisscrossed the open seas, was now in front of him, a fat fish lying on the chopping board waiting for his own knife, and this feeling made him punch the side of the ship excitedly, "Come on." Come on, Alien coward!"
Frye shouted next to the bow linen gun, which needed to be cooled down by the sea after three bombardments, and the strong smell of sulfur in the sea breeze nearly choked him. On the surface of the sea, the Imperial battleship group and the opposite Strand fleet tore and scattered countless fragments,
"Rush up and crush them"
Captain Alien was also shouting. The total number of warships on both sides combined was more than three hundred and fifty, like two huge beasts biting and rolling on the surface of the sea.
The battle-spirited Strangers. With the confidence of the overlord of the Inland Sea, he is like a knight in heavy armor, holding a sword and shield spear. Using the ramming angle of the front of the battleship to tear the opponent's armor ferociously, the dragon tooth ship that had no time to dodge was torn apart by the strong impact force of the side deck, the thick hull of the Alien Sea Kingdom battleship was directly crushed from the deck of the dragon tooth ship, the single structure of the dragon tooth battleship was overwhelmed and crushed from the middle, and the sailors on it jumped into the sea in a hurry, and countless broken wood decks floated on the sea, "Attack,!"
The somewhat weak Dragon's Tooth battleship, which had been shown just now, suddenly seemed to go crazy, spraying huge clusters of fire at the speed of one shot per forty seconds and thirty seconds respectively towards the staggered Strand battleships, and these oval clusters of light with long and slender tails were like staggered meteors, piercing into the hull of the opponent along the surface of the sea. Causing a violent explosion, the scattered pieces formed by the fire balls tore the decks on the side of the battleship into pieces as much as they wanted, and the battleship shook violently in an instant, and the explosive light released from the damaged position formed a violent shock wave, which swept the interior of the battleship like a hurricane.
On the decks of some of the stopped Dragon's Tooth battleships, there were sailors with all kinds of weapons, spears, short battle axes, hammers, crossbows, flails, and a number of small ballistae dedicated to short distances were also pushed onto the deck, the sides of these Dragon's Tooth battleships had been piled up in the enemy's battleship collision, making a creaking sound that was almost shattering, compared to the larger Alien battleships, the Dragon's Tooth ships were obviously not superior in size, "Kill them!" Countless enemy ship sailors jumped down from the high side of the ship,
The falcon sailors on the deck let out a fierce roar, strangled with the rain of falling enemies, and the spear pierced into the human body before it could be drawn. The enemy surging up behind has already brandished a long sword and cut down, the smell of blood is mixed with the sea water "snap" spears and short knives on the side of the ship, people are crowded, corpses are stacked on the side of the ship, people are constantly falling down the rough sea, the two sides who are forced to set off raging waves on the sea, shaking the sea, this is a battle of the country, no matter which side has the idea of completely tearing the other party apart, "Pass the order, capture the enemy's warships as much as possible!"
Furengia looked at the battle situation in which his side had an advantage, and the corners of his mouth finally smiled, the Falcon Empire's navy is indeed strong, but this is the inland sea, it is the world of Strand, the other party has already shown a declining situation, if even a third of the warships can be captured, it is enough to establish the status of the sea country, and as a commander, he and this largest sea battle in the history of the inland sea region will also be remembered forever!" "Flagship order, capture these enemy warships as much as possible!" On the mast of a Strange Poseidon-class battleship, the flag bearer shouted to the captain below, his words had not yet completely fallen, and suddenly the whole person stayed there, pointing to the sea in the northeast direction, and suddenly shouted "Enemy!"
The captain of the ship below with his head held high was stunned for a moment, and shouted angrily, "What the hell are you talking about?" "Attention, enemy, the outer islands in the northeast!" The flag whispered chaotically, and the continuous loud rolling thunder had come from the northeast, and the sea was boiling again. Countless red arcs of light came from the northeast, and the magnificence like a meteor swarm even made Captain Alien have a moment of trance, and the "boom" fierce blow exploded on the side of the Alien fleet, "What's going on?" Furengia's face turned pale and looked at the northeast where the situation had changed rapidly, it was an island outside the harbor, from which dozens of huge white sails were emerging, these Falcon Empire warships began to accelerate like tuna flying over the waves, and the huge wave marks formed by the acceleration of the ship group were like a huge sharp blade, which seemed to divide the sea in half. This is where the heavy shelling comes from,
Countless pillars of fire intertwined a spectacular and tragic picture on the sea, the unsuspecting battleship of Tranter was like a leaf in a storm, it was swept in in an instant, everywhere there were flaming battleships, everywhere there were wolf bèi diving sailors, red flames rolled on the sea like a disaster, this huge red palm overturned the battleship at sea with an unstoppable momentum, "This is an ambush!" Fulengia's head went blank for a moment. When did the Falcon Empire lurk a fleet here!"That's?"
On the battleships of the Falcon Empire, the commander of the detachment, Frye, looked at the battleships in the direction of the outer islands, and was also a little dazed. He didn't remember which detachment was placed there, and such a number was more than the size of an ordinary detachment, but the blue-gold cross imperial flag on the mast already stated the identity. "It's the North Sea Fleet, the Imperial North Sea Fleet!" Frye's eyes were about to bulge out, "I'll go, who transferred this steppe wolf!" Because the commander of the North Sea Fleet, Ulcondo, is from the East Garden. Therefore, it is also called the steppe wolf by his colleagues in the Navy
"Quickly, immediately give the order, all participating warships are free to evacuate"
Furengia didn't know that the strength of the North Sea Fleet was far inferior to the First Fleet of the Empire, which was at war, and he decided that he had fallen into the ambush circle of the Empire, thinking that three-quarters of the navy of the Sea Kingdom would be wiped out and fighting with this battle, he hurriedly shouted hoarsely to the herald who was already frightened,
Life and death, completely reversed at this moment, the surprise attack turned into an ambush, the flanks of the exposed ship group were almost beaten inward, and the raging fire on more than a dozen Alien Navy battleships, seeing the other Alien Navy captains was chilled,
"Quick, turn the rudder"
"Turn, turn!"
Finding that his flanks were completely exposed to the ferocious fire of the Falcon Empire's fleet, the Alien ship group was irrepressibly chaotic, and in this fiery and tragic light, boom "A Poseidon-class giant battleship was knocked through the deck by the side, and red fireballs burst out from the inside,
"Artillery bombardment, not a single one will be left! Order the fleet to open full fire, tell those guys, take out all the strength to eat milk! Whether the North Sea Fleet can make a name for itself and shock the Obarro continent depends on today!"
Ulcondo, the commander of the Imperial Northern Fleet, wore the uniform of the commander of the navy, looked at the Aliens who were in front of him like a flock of sheep in panic, and shouted excitedly with every explosion, the originally dense spindle of the Alien Navy battleship suddenly turned into a mess, the battleship turned in a panic, the huge hull could not be flexibly mobilized at all, and the captains on it were completely chaotic, too much like making dumplings, just need to look around a little. You can see the red wreckage and firelight of the explosion flying all over the sky
The opponent's attacks continued to be swift and ferocious, and the four large warships that were obviously Falcon Empire dragon-class warships were like huge blades of sharp cold, and a single salvo was the entire exploding deck and ship's side,
Under this crazy style of play, the experienced Strangers were also stunned, and in the face of this group of undisciplined raids, they had to turn the butt of the battleship and flee in panic and humiliation.
But the smaller dragon tooth battleship among these guys is like a vicious wolf that pounces into the elephant herd, rushing left and right, biting when it opens its mouth, even if it can't bite the target, it has to bite a piece of meat desperately, and those flesh are the side decks of the battleship that have been shattered, making people only feel that those battleships are completely hideous beasts, a group of bloodthirsty wolves! It is a kind of pleasure of relying on the strong to bully the weak, a kind of twisted violence, more like a kind of fanatical revenge.
This is the Imperial North Sea Fleet, in terms of frontal combat, Urcondo's North Sea Fleet is far inferior to Dustrunkay's First Fleet, but in terms of assault capabilities, Urcondo, which has suppressed the North Sea with a few warships, is undoubtedly superior, this is a throat-sealing sword, and it is also a wild wolf who dares to fight
The Aliens suddenly turned their faces three months ago, and the fat man already had a premonition that the war between the two countries was on the agenda, and the Aliens, as the overlord of the Inland Sea, had the absolute initiative over the Inland Sea, so in this battle, the other party would inevitably choose the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, in this case, every move of the Imperial First Fleet, which had been gathered in the Putau area, had long been under the surveillance of the Aliens, and the North Sea Fleet had received an order to transfer south two months ago in the winter, and the Imperial First Fleet set off from the southwest region on the fifth day after departure, and entered the Inland Sea after replenishing the Putau coast, like a wolf, following behind the First Fleetuntil the night of three days ago, when he had entered the islands outside the port of Valenya,
Using the First Fleet as a decoy, the North Sea Fleet to deliver a fatal blow, and a surprise attack against a surprise attack, this can definitely deal a fatal blow to the Strand Navy (to be continued......
