Chapter 258 Destroy the Gripen Fleet
After a long wait, the naval soldiers on the Gripen fleet could finally see the battle flag of King's Navy clearly with their naked eyes.
The first round of battle officially started with the bombardment of the ship-based crossbows.
“Slow down the mainsail!”
"Blade gunner loading!"
The flag soldiers of the fleet roared, the main sail descended, and the distance between the fleets of both sides narrowed to a distance of 300 meters.
"Be careful to avoid the ravage!"
"Ship-headed crossbow gunner! Attack! Launch!"
"Continue to load!"
"put!"
"The helmman turns right and passes through the middle of the opponent's first battleship. We will go to the middle of the enemy!"
"yes!"
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters!
Under the bombardment of the ship-based crossbow, after the enemy's fleet's head warship was hit, the grey wood chip dust splashed out was clearly visible. After the broken head baffle of the enemy ship, you can clearly see the appearance of the King's Navy soldiers in chaos and busyness in the opponent's deck.
As the fastest-driving battleship, the "Charge" was the first to encounter the enemy.
At a distance of two hundred meters, Charge was the first to be hit by a carrier-based crossbow artillery on the enemy's largest three-masted battleship.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The dull warning horn sound was also the first to blow on the charge.
"Do not to impact, first pass through the gaps in the opponent's fleet, and give full play to the advantages of the crossbows on both sides of the fleet!"
Amid the repeated shouts and shouts.
Nine out of the ten Gripen battleships, the maneuverability given by the tail sails was a little higher, successfully avoiding head-on collision with the first ship of the enemy fleet.
The breakthrough fleet sailing at low speed penetrates into the center of the opponent's fleet.
The fierce battle suddenly broke out in the center of the fleet that was bounded by the first line of defense of the navy.
"Peerreside gunner! Let it go!"
"Star Starboard Blademan! Let it go!"
"Bowman shoots freely!"
In the combat waters, the two sides launched fierce side-side bombardment, fired crossbows, and arrows flew, and the waters near Heishui Bay suddenly became in chaos.
The deck of each warship suddenly drifted with a strong smell of blood.
The broken limbs and flesh are flying everywhere.
The flame arrows ignited the sails of warships, and clattered the masts and the sails, igniting the fire.
After more than ten minutes of impact, the King's Land Fleet, which clearly felt the gap in long-range firepower, was gradually suppressed. There were too many carrier-based crossbows on both sides of the Gripen Fleet.
The sailing warship that does not require sailors, heavy firepower that can be constructed, and rounds of shooting, which caused the King's Navy to suffer a severe blow.
Most of the arrows shot by the crossbowmen they could only rely on were blocked by Gripen Navy soldiers with shields or thick deck baffles, and did not cause much effective damage.
As time goes by, this gap becomes more and more obvious.
Because Junlin's fleet soon discovered that after multiple rounds of fire on the opponent's crossbows, they had almost completely smashed the baffles on their battleships. If the battle continues like this, the soldiers of the Junlin Navy may have to face it? There is no more cover, and they can deal with the opponent's continuous rain of arrows.
What's even worse is that the double-teams on both sides of the Gripen Fleet are gradually getting closer? The proportion of fifty to ten warships is so embarrassing.
If the number of warships between fifty and thirty is formed, I am afraid that the first line of defense of the Navy will be in front of you? The danger of the entire army being destroyed in an instant.
"Damn. Commander, look? Our antler warship was directly sunk by those terrible crossbows. And the South Border was also sieve by the madman's crossbows!"
On the battlefield where ghosts and wolves howling, a deputy general of the King of Navy came to the fleet commander and cursed and reported,
"Damn! Let the flag bearer sway the flag to order!"
"Let the warships all come up? Carry out a boarding battle? This is the only opportunity!"
The commander of the King of Navy's defense line quickly made a clear judgment. At this time, only entangled together can the opponent's long-range firepower output be suppressed.
Under the strong paddling of the sailors in the bottom cabin, the King's Landing Fleet tried hard to open its bloody mouth and bombard the Gripen Fleet, which was on the left and right front and back, approaching the Gripen Fleet, which was on the left and right front and back.
When the distance reached two meters, the hook ropes began to throw from the chaotic warships like fishing nets on the deck of the Gripen fleet.
After the hook rope stuck to the grooves on the deck? The navy soldier shouted loudly from the King's Landing battleship: "Hook, pull it hard? Get the ship closer."
The desperate King's Navy had no choice? With the huge firepower pouring out, he tried hard to pick up the ship.
The gap between the warships was pulled closer to two meters? The landing boards built on both sides of the ship were lifted up by the soldiers? They were placed between the gap between the warships and the warships.
"For the king's land! Kill!"
Being suppressed for a long time? The red-eyed King's Navy mustered up the courage, stepped onto the deck under the commander's loud shout, and charged wildly.
The melee soldiers on the deck on the Gripen fleet, which were attacked on both sides, were already ready.
On the Breakthrough battleship, Ruosan's personal soldiers guarded the shield and shouted orders on the tower: "The shield soldiers come forward, and bow and crossbow go up the ship tower."
"Keep formation and don't let anyone enter the battleship!"
clang clang clang!
The sound of swords unsheathed suddenly rang out.
The melee navy of the Gripen fleet holding a shield in the left hand and a sword in the right hand finally ushered in a place of use.
The spearmen stayed behind the shield soldiers. Whenever the sword and shield soldiers cut off the ankle of a roaring King's Navy soldier who rushed over, the spearmen raised their spears behind them and stabbed the staggering enemy to death with one spear.
On the sea, the sound of people falling into the water continued to sound.
Under the deck reddened by blood, the entire sea area was stained with scarlet red because of the dead and injured Junlin Navy's corpse.
Looking at the Gripen Fleet soldiers as the defensive side, they showed strong combat power in the battle against the platoon.
The commander of the first line of defense of the Navy was staring at his own soldiers who kept falling from the sea on the deck with despair and tragic eyes, and was distraught.
He was hoarse and ordered the soldiers behind him to board the charge board to fight and continue to rush!
However, after more than ten minutes of the relay battle, he suddenly discovered that his naval soldiers had not even one of them successfully landed on the opposite warship.
This is a hammer.
The battle on the boarding was too tragic, which immediately raised the casualties of the King's Landing Navy to a terrible number.
When the fearful soldiers on their own warships began to stalemate. Even if they were beheaded by the supervising team, no more people dared to charge, the commander of the Navy's defense line was almost ashamed.
At this time, his messenger came to him anxiously and said with a hint of joy: "Mr. Commander, the main fleet brought by Commander-in-Chief of the Navy has completed the entire fleet outside the military port and is rushing towards us to help."
This turned out to be a gratifying news. When the war was in a stalemate, the main fleet came to help, which was a gratifying news.
But not today.
This old commander, who had been serving in the King's Navy for half his life, felt that his hands and feet were cold all over his body.
Standing on the ship building, he looked into the distance. At the end of his sight, a naval fleet that was as powerful as those in front of him, which were several times larger in size, was slowly gathering towards him in his sight.
The main fleet of the King of the Navy completed the assembly and came to rush for assistance. The opponent's main fleet advanced toward this side without hesitation. He knew what this meant.
At first he thought that the ten warships he had connected with were sent by the other party to test the attack.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all.
The enemy was not afraid of all the main forces of the King of the Navy. On the contrary, they might be waiting for the moment when all the warships in the field attacked.
The old commander thought so, but he was bitter in the corner of his mouth but could not tell his true thoughts. No one would believe this judgment that was like a fantasy.
