"Flanks encircle?" Hearing the semaphore from the mast, Townsend was taken aback. After a fierce bombardment just now, the bow of the Nord fleet, which was arranged in a triangular line, had already pushed out a wave on the sea. Rolling white waves,
The entire fleet is only 1,200 meters away from the Falcon fleet's formation. Choosing to move to the two wings at this moment will not only make the fleet formation chaotic, but also terrorize the Nords in disguise.
"Turn the rudder to the left 37 degrees, we are going to turn around from the side!" While Townsend was still in a daze, Rena sounded in his ears with a somewhat solemn voice, as he followed Dustrom Commander Kay’s veteran, he certainly knows what his boss wants to do,
Looking at the confused young officer, Rena solemnly explained, "Nord’s Storm Sea Snake is made of the strongest diamond wood. If it’s head-on, even our Dragon-level will be able to do it. He was hit by the crash, so you treat it as a big arrogant bull, we are the nimble bird, let it go first, and then slam his unsuspecting butt!"
"It turned out to be like this" Tang Sen looked at Rena's somewhat pale face with a touch of emotion. He hadn't really experienced some naval battle skills, so he couldn't understand the kind of decision that was made at that time. Crisis,
Even those well-known battles that have been recorded, what future generations will see is only the process of commanding the command at that time and the results obtained afterwards,
but no one will analyze the thoughts of the commander at the time,
This creates an illusion for many young officers. It seems that the war is like this. The ending is already doomed. Arrange the army, then defeat the opponent lightly, and then return full of glory, just like a sentence When talking and laughing, the powerful enemy was wiped out, but few people would think about it. If you don’t know the result, would you make such a choice?
The fighter plane will always flash by like a shooting star across the sky. Only those lucky ones who are sharp-eyed will have a chance to learn from it!
Only those generals who are truly experienced can see these last victors in these seemingly brilliant but painful battles, and the extraordinary sharp eyes that can catch the shooting stars,
There are very few people who can truly understand the meaning of the words written by His Majesty Falcon in the officer training manual, after all,
rumbling...
The sound of gunfire rumbling on the sea, the smoke filled with gunpowder.
Suddenly, Townsend heard Rena’s heavy voice and involuntarily yelled, "Oh, turn left!"
"Pop" the cold water hit Townsend’s face, the Dragon Tooth battleship had just fired Thor, and the entire Dragon Tooth battleship’s hull had not been fully adjusted. The huge recoil made the hull violently move towards the other side. Tilt on one side,
just slanted to the right, a giant stone sling launched from the direction of the storm sea snake, with a whistling shot from the sea outside the ship’s side,
"Puff" stone bullets smashed into the sea, sparking waves of up to ten meters high, and huge water jets rising into the sky, even making the main mast of the smaller Dragon Tooth more than fifteen degrees inclination, and the entire hull Shaken by the huge waves, it made a creaking sound, as if it would break at any time,
The debris on the deck also rolled down into the sea, making a crackling sound, like countless cooked dumplings, violently undulating on the sea.
But speaking of dumplings, the Falcon Navy’s Dragon Tooth battleship and Nord Navy’s assault group, on this vast sea, are indeed like boiling dumplings, surrounded by constantly exploding and rising water splashes, which completely completes them. The cage is covered.
As the distance approaches, the slingshots projected by the Nord fleet become more frequent. Of course, the Falcon navy moving from the center to the sides cannot show weakness. Countless white smoke increases as the warship turns. The guns were ejected from the side of the baffle gun chamber, and also used dense shells to counter the Nords.
"Damn, these Nord battleships are really thick!" Townsend frowned when he heard Captain Rena's cursing next to him, and the situation in front of him was indeed a bit unpleasant. /
The Falcon fleet circled on both sides of the Nord fleet, and the dense shells made a lower arc and flew to the Nord warships lined up in the distance, although there were several Nord warships. The ship was hit by the impact and started to tilt to a certain extent.
Nord Navy also kept reflecting back with trebuchets, and bursts of water burst out beside the Falcon fleet.
As the distance advances, the Falcon Navy discovered that these Nord warships are very large, and the side decks are also very cleverly equipped with fire-resistant wet wood. These stray bullets with low lethality have caused The damage is not fatal at all, and even has no major impact on their performance.
According to Townsend’s estimation, these warships belonging to the Nord naval fleet have obviously been modified and reinforced, especially on the side of the ship that is easy to penetrate, with a lot of thick wooden baffles, which look like Covered with a layer of uneven black scales,
These Atsugi baffles are very capable of carrying explosives. Townsend has seen the roaring Thor shells hit on them several times. After a burst of smoke exploded, he still looked like an okay person, and venomously addressed the Falcon fleet. Pounce
"What exactly are these baffles?" Townsend also scolded very unwillingly. He didn’t know that these were the accessories specially designed by Nord Navy for the Storm Sea Snake,
The so-called sea snake naturally has not only deadly fangs but also strong scales that can resist external attacks. In the last battle of Ferran, the Nord Navy discovered this kind of temporarily developed baffle. It was very useful for blocking the Falcon Navy’s shelling, and was inspired, so this simple and effective method was used to counter the Falcon Navy’s side shelling on a large scale. Although simple but very effective
"Riakka, this fool"
Rena's originally white face was blushing with pain. Under his gaze, a Nordic Storm Sea Snake had just hit a dragon's tooth ship that had no time to escape. The Storm Sea Snake was huge. The impact directly shredded the side deck of the Dragon Tooth ship, and the heavy hull was rolled directly from the Dragon Tooth deck.
"Papa" The overwhelmed Dragon Tooth battleship was crushed from the middle. At this moment, the eyes of all the captains of the Falcon fleet were red, and even the sea breeze was crushed by a creak. Obviously, the Dragon Tooth ship, which was turned into the Riaca by Rena, was finished. The 50 sailors on it jumped into the sea in a hurry. Numerous broken wood decks floated on the sea, and then were taken by the huge hull of the Nord warship. It crashed, and the huge whirlpool in the sea swept these sailors in
The sinking of the battleship Riakka Longfang. Rena's fighting spirit was aroused, and he was determined to avenge his comrades severely. When did the Falcon Navy that cross the ocean suffer such a loss?
The gun warehouse of the Dragon Tooth battleship is on the second floor of the cabin. The area is not too large. As soon as the door is opened, the pungent sulphur smell from Thor’s launch is rushing out, and Rena is skilled in removing it from behind the cabin door. A wet towel that has been hung on it a long time ago,
Because the artillery can't leave the bombing chamber during a fierce battle, after three or four rounds of shells are fired, the gunners need to cover their mouths with wet towels, otherwise the pungent sulfur smell will make people feel I can’t open my eyes,
"Master Rena, why are you coming down?" Seeing Rena coming in from the outside with a gloomy face, Ankanade, the head of the gun storehouse, was a little surprised
"I'll direct the shelling myself." Rena suppressed his heart and said quietly, then waved to the original observer to help transport the shells. As an experienced captain, he is not a rookie like Townsend after all. In countless battles between life and death, he has already honed a state of mind that calmly faces adversity. Only those who have experienced the edge of life know. Calmness is the most effective factor in obtaining the greatest results in a war.
This is especially important in naval battles. The vast sea is not a vast land. Once the warship is overwhelmed, the possibility of surviving in the endless sea is almost minimal. Even if you can avoid the storms and waves on the sea, It’s hard to avoid sharks and other beasts chasing with the smell of blood
As a naval officer, irrational behavior is absolutely unforgivable. This is the point that Fatty emphasizes the most about the Falcon Navy, which he values,
"You only have one chance, either life or death!"
He didn't want the commanders of his navy to fight the enemy close to the enemy like the army. Because of the madness of the navy officer, it was not his life that was lost,
is the life of the entire Dragon Tooth battleship, and even the precious lives of all members of the entire fleet, calm down in good times, and even more calm in bad times.
on the flagship of the Falcon fleet,
Fleet Commander Dustrum Khai was shocked and immediately recovered his calm. The strong reversal of the Nord Navy made him start to regard this fleet as a real opponent.
Nord Navy or Thor is not powerful, but its gross tonnage and protection capabilities have never feared death. It does make up for the relatively disadvantaged situation. The two fleets are like the sharpest spears hitting the strongest. It’s not known who will kill the shield. This is a close battle. The brave who meets on a narrow road wins, and only with the utmost courage can we defeat this powerful enemy.
"Raise my flag!"
At the critical moment, Dusterenkai turned his head calmly and shouted to the man on the mast behind him. He saw the Falcon fleet separated by two wings, and it seemed a bit chaotic. It may be the psychological turmoil caused by the scene just now.
At this moment, I have no choice. Just like two dueling fighters, the Falcon Navy and the Nord Navy, there can only be one person alive out of the sea area known as the arena
In the navy’s concept of combat, raising the commander’s banner in battle indicates the determination of the highest commander: to fight the enemy endlessly.
Sure enough, as Dustellenkai’s flag was raised, the thirty dragon-tooth warships with their wings spread began to stabilize, and their respective flags were raised amidst the roar of gunfire.
This shows that all warships will follow the determination of the highest commander, immortal like the enemy, and will never back down even if the battle reaches the last person.
The wind was blowing in the sea, and the debris scattered from the sunken ship floated on the sea. The entire row of white smoke shrouded the sea, almost unable to see the target 100 meters away, like a white curtain wrapped around the periphery of the battlefield
Following the Hulun fleet behind the Falcon fleet, they stopped the warship ten miles away. They are all large warships. Obviously, the big confrontation is breaking out in front of them. They are good at short-handed Hulun warfare. The boat can’t get in,
They can only watch from a distance. In the distance, although the Nord fleet has temporarily gained the upper hand, the Falcon Navy that crosses the seas, with the huge aftermath of the marine overlord, dense shells and slingshots. As I went, they landed on the sea around the opponent's warships, splashing countless water jets. Although there was no direct hit, the near-missing bullet still caused both sides to suffer considerable losses.
"Turn left 21 degrees, and see that the storm sea snake on the left is not there. Move over and sink it"
Rena shouted at the communication channel connecting the gun warehouse and the bridge. He knew that Townsend on the bridge also saw the same opportunity.
The tail of a storm sea snake as big as a dragon's tooth ship, at this moment, is facing the muzzle of the 23rd dragon's tooth ship. The thick baffle on it was lifted off by a violent explosion. With a gap of about 5 meters, the opening of the hole can even see the Nord sailor running in a panic.
This is a great opportunity that can be met. If you can launch a salvo from a close enough position, it is entirely possible to penetrate this big guy who is chasing behind the flagship.
This guy is too arrogant. With a solid hull, he completely ignored the artillery fire from both sides, and he didn’t even find a dragon tooth ship approaching.
rumbling. . . . .
The sound of a huge explosion came from the position of the rudder at the tail of the storm sea snake, and the pieces of wood flew across. A huge gap directly tore the tail of the storm sea snake. The red flame burned from the cabin, and its ship The body is very large. Although the back part of the body caught fire, it can still withstand this damage for a super large wooden sailing warship with a displacement of more than 1,500 tons.
However, the three dragon-tooth ships that were squeezed by it did not mean to let it go. The second round of artillery shells followed like raindrops, and a dozen rounds all hit this super-large wooden sailing warship. , Even if it is sturdy. It is impossible to withstand such a storm at the same time.
"Long live!"
Rena’s adventure was a success. The sailors on the deck and cabin raised their hands and cheered excitedly at the same time,
rumbling...
The continuous sound of a huge explosion came from the body of the storm sea snake, the huge fire light almost reflected half of the sky, the red flame ignited the entire storm sea snake, like a huge red torch rolling on the sea ,
These huge red palms ignited all contaminated objects with an unstoppable momentum. The Nords used various tools on the deck to try to extinguish the fierce flames coming along the ship’s side.
It is a pity that their efforts were in vain. After burning for more than ten minutes, this super-large wooden sailing warship could only helplessly disappear on the sea
The sea breeze seems to have paused at this moment. When the super-large wooden sailing warship sank, it seemed to be felt that the opponent's Nord Navy was also in great shock. Maybe they too Never thought that the giant battleship Storm Sea Serpent, which they believed in as hope, would be sunk by the Falcon Navy.
"Good job!" Fleet Commander Dusterenkai said silently in his heart. At this time, the symbolic meaning of successfully sinking an opponent’s warship is far greater than the actual meaning. It will undoubtedly have a huge boost to the morale of the Falcon naval officers and soldiers. It will make all Falcon naval officers and soldiers be It is deeply realized that such a sturdy and unusually large warship can also be sunk.
Seeing the sinking of our flagship, the momentum of the Nord Navy suddenly weakened. Although there is still a storm sea snake struggling to persist, more and more shells began to pass over its huge body and blast the others behind it. On the Nord warship, the shells from both sides came and went in mid-air, even colliding with each other and exploding, bursting out brilliant sparks.
This is for the Falcon Navy to maximize its full power and want to eat the opponent completely. The fierce battle lasted from noon to afternoon.
The sun gradually drifted westward, the entire sea area began to dim, and the visibility began to decrease,
But the battle on the sea is getting more and more fierce. The attacks on both sides are still coming and going. On the sea, there is still boiling water like dumplings, and there are water jets everywhere. Both fleets began to show their scarred appearance, and the sideboards or decks were filled with dents,
The Falcon Navy’s Dragon Tooth battleship is small, but it has a strong Thor, and is flexible in maneuvering, able to hide the stone slings from the opposite side to a certain extent. Although the warship of the Nord Navy is not protected by armor, its size is very large and the hull is very strong.
6:21 pm~IndoMTL.com~ The stalemate has finally changed. Another Storm Sea Snake of the Nord Navy finally, under the special care of the Falcon Navy, the rickety hull began to tilt , Its sideboard was finally completely torn apart, and seawater swarmed in. A few minutes later, the huge hull was filled with seawater and began to sink slowly.
Its iconic bow collision angle first sank into the rough sea, then raised the stern high, but the damaged hull could not support the weight of the stern, when the stern rose to a faster vertical At the time, the hull broke with a rumbling from between, and the high stern smashed down severely, building up countless splashes, and then it was inserted deeply into the sea, no longer seen. On the sea, there are only floating debris and two huge eddies.
witnessed the sinking of the last Storm Sea Snake, the Nordisk Navy, which suffered heavy losses, was finally shaken. With four consecutive large warships sinking under the storm-like blows of the Falcon Navy, some Nordisk warships began to fail The organization wanted to get out of the battlefield, and some diehards who were fighting to death have sunk into the sea in the shelling
At this time, the setting sun has gone down the mountain, the sea has become a bit dark, and the visibility has gradually decreased. However, all this did not hinder the observation power of the Falcon fleet,
Fleet Commander Du Stellenkai immediately ordered that all warships were free to pursue, and a large warship retreating from Nord caught fire and burned, and the fire was quite violent.
The burning fire of this unfortunate warship undoubtedly pointed out the target for the Falcon Navy. Countless shells covered it and the sea near it. After the violent explosion, this large Nordic warship became A pile of burning debris
