Chapter 832: First Stop: Gao Jie
Early the next morning, the pirates with a hangover and unawakened were carried onto the ship by their companions, and Cai Ning gave an order, and more than a dozen warships sailed away from Long Ring Island under the banner of pirates, forming a fleet of murderous northward movements.
Under the tree was really cautious, he led two warships to refuse the invitation of Cai Ning's formation, and followed Cai Ning behind him to monitor the pirate's every move from the farthest distance visible to the naked eye, and under the tree did not know that there were also several pairs of eyes watching him in the sky behind him.
Not long after Cai Ning and Situ Muran set off, a reconnaissance boat took off from Changhuan Island and rushed to the Emerald Island as fast as possible, and at the same time, Mu Xinya's militia was also ready, boarding their warships with their respective weapons, and going out to sea to line up to meet them. The dinghy came to the Emerald Island, Yuqing got down from the dinghy, and immediately issued a series of orders, the air force, dispatched thirty airships and ten small boats to the Long Circle Island to meet the battle, and the remaining twenty or so airships and fog balloons also immediately rose into the air, led by Yuqing, to meet another Liusang fleet, and the naval ships that returned to the Emerald Island before were commanded by naval officers, cooperating with the air force to clean up the mess.
Time passed unconsciously, and the tree was very dissatisfied with Cai Ning's delay in front, he should have arrived at the predetermined sea area to attract the attention of the Eastern Saint Imperial Navy, but now, he had just arrived at the edge of the predetermined sea area, and there was no trace of the Eastern Saint Imperial Navy.
Looking up at the sun in the sky, calculating the time, the main fleet should have almost arrived near the Long Ring Island, and there was a sneer under the tree that looked at the pirates who were laughing on the warship in front of him and said: "At this time, your nest should have been annihilated by the Imperial Fleet, I don't know if you can laugh after knowing this news." ”
At this moment, Shuxia was stunned to find that Cai Ning's fleet suddenly changed course, and was about to turn around, when Shuxia was furious, and ordered the herald to play a flag to let Cai Ning keep course, and at the same time, picked up the telescope to search the nearby sea, looking for traces of the Eastern Saint Empire's navy, in his mind, the only one who could make Cai Ning turn around and escape was the navy of the Eastern Saint Empire, but it was clear that Cai Ning had far superior combat power than the Eastern Saint Navy, why would he flee without a fight? Could it be that the navy of the Eastern Saint Empire has increased in strength beyond imagination in a short period of time?
With such doubts, he looked around the surrounding sea, but found nothing, just like this delay, Cai Ning, uh, it should be said that Situ Muran's fleet had completed the U-turn, and the troops were outflanked in two ways. Under the tree immediately reacted, these guys were planning to rebel, which was treachery.
Immediately, Shuxia ordered the battleship to turn around, and at the same time released carrier pigeons to inform the main fleet behind him, but it was too late.
The prudence under the tree failed to save him this time, and when they finished making a U-turn and were about to escape, several strange things suddenly appeared in the sky, and there were people in the cockpit under these strange things with huge heads, and the shock under the trees was overwhelming, and of course, they did not forget to flee for their lives.
Four fog balloons passed over the two battleships of the Liusang Empire, slowly lowered their altitude to adjust their direction, and approached at a faster speed until they followed the two warships, maintaining an altitude of about five hundred meters, and then, in the exclamation of the Liusang sailors, dropped incendiary bombs.
The first few incendiary bombs failed to hit, and the sea breeze was a little strong, which affected the accuracy of the bomb dropping, and the position was adjusted, and the fog balloon was dropped again. Under the tree, he stared blankly at the clay pots that fell into the sea behind him, some of which were still burning with flames, he quickly reacted to what those were, and his face suddenly became as white as paper, he knew very well what would happen to such an enemy.
Boom, boom, boom, the air force didn't give the tree more time to panic, a few incendiary bombs landed right next to him, and the raging flames immediately engulfed the tree, and he didn't even have a chance to jump into the sea, and the most outstanding admiral of the young generation of the Liusang Empire under the tree fell.
In the face of a sudden and incredible blow, the commander was killed in the first round of attacks, and the Liusang Navy, even if it was well-trained, was inevitably blinded and did not know how to deal with the attack from the sky.
Killed under the tree, the first mate brakes upgraded to captain, while directing the sailors to extinguish the fire, while hysterically urging to accelerate, trying to get rid of the monster in the sky.
The air force had absolute air superiority, and the struggle of the Ryusang Imperial Navy was in vain, and after several rounds of bombing, the incendiary bombs carried by the fog balloon were exhausted, and they sent a signal to their own ships on the surface of the sea and left the battlefield to start their homecoming.
The Mist Balloon had a limited number of incendiary grenades, and the failure to hit caused limited damage to the Ryusan Empire's warships, only a few fires were placed on the deck, which burned the sails and some sailors, but that was enough.
There were no sails, the warship lost power, and Situ Muran's fleet quickly caught up, at this time, the fire on the Liusang battleship was still burning, and the sailors were busy fighting the fire, so how could they have time to worry about anything else, until Situ Muran's fleet approached them, they did not react, of course, they were one step late, and they had already entered the range of the other party.
Situ Muran experienced the most depressed and lonely stage of the navy, and it was inevitable that he would be a little childish, he did not order to open fire and sink the enemy ship, but ordered the battleship to approach and prepare to cross the ship for hand-to-hand combat, after all, the two battleships were not seriously damaged, as long as they were repaired a little, they could still gallop across the ocean and become part of the strengthening of the navy. The commanders of the two warships of Liusang had now basically lost the idea of resisting, and the ships were damaged and surrounded by enemy ships far outnumbered by their own, and it was futile to hold on.
At this time, the navy under Situ Muran gave full play to the combat qualities that had been cultivated over the years, and the springboard caught up with the enemy ship, and the sailors began to cross the ship with their shields and their respective weapons, boarding the enemy ship from all directions, and slashing and killing all the enemies that could be seen without mercy.
There is no suspense in the battle to this point, unless the Liusang Empire also has a big killer weapon such as the air force to hide, otherwise, there is no power to return to the sky.
The deck was quickly cleared, and there was sporadic resistance in the cabin, which was just a trapped beast fighting, and it was not a climate.
Leaving two warships and enough soldiers to clean up the mess, Situ Muran took the remaining warships and returned at a fast speed, he was anxious, he had to participate in this kind of large-scale battle, and according to the plan, he was also indispensable, with a purely naval mission.
At the same time that Situ Muran was fighting under the tree, the warships of the Emerald Island and the Long Ring Island met the Liusang fleet almost at the same time, or the side of the Eastern Saint Empire had been waiting for the arrival of the other party early.
In the southwest sea of Changhuan Island, there are more than a dozen ships flying the flag of the Eastern Saint Empire lined up on the sea, these ships are different from pure warships, they have different shapes and better carrying capacity, on the deck, there are all kinds of heavy crossbows and trebuchets, but the quantity and quality cannot be compared with the heavy warships of Liusang.
