Chapter 31: Contact Warfare
The three-masted battleship, which had lost its entire stern, quickly tilted in the influx of the sea, and the surviving sailors let out a miserable cry for help, only to be swept into the sea by the whirlpool brought up by the sinking of the ship.
The attack of the "Dark River", which had been firing non-stop, came to a halt for a while.
Viscount Bob looked at the enemy flying troops in the sky, and couldn't think of how they could accurately hit their battleship at such a long distance.
Could it be luck?
The rain of fire continued to fall, and they scattered under the blowing of the sea breeze, and then enveloped the two nearby warships.
Unlike the "Meteor Rain" just now, which only swept the deck of the battleship sporadically on the periphery, the two battleships that were attacked by the "Meteor Rain" this time were in the center of the fire rain.
"Whoa......
The lava literally rained down on the deck of the battleship, and although its density had become sparse, it still caused a lot of damage to the sailors on the open deck.
It's definitely not luck.
Viscount Bob received reports of losses from the fleet, a three-masted battleship was sunk, and a three-masted battleship and a two-masted battleship lost 50 sailors.
This "meteor shower" not only caused heavy losses to the Jeju City fleet, but also greatly slowed down the speed of the fleet formation.
The enemy's main fleet was approaching at full speed, and in the face of the shelling of the "Dark River", they did not make any evasive moves.
And the detachment of 11 brigs that came to intercept it did not have any intention of slowing down because of the attack of the high-level mage. They abandoned the two brigs that had been temporarily paralyzed and continued to outflank the Jeju Fortress fleet.
After the two brigs attacked by the Ice Ring thawed, the sailors who had dodged the magic attack in the cabin quickly rushed to the upper deck, and the two brigs chased after the fleet.
Master Ackerman's strategy to lure the enemy into dividing his forces failed, and even if he was able to destroy the detached fleet, the Jeju Fortress fleet would suffer heavy losses under the attack of the "Meteor Shower".
"Master Ackerman, come back! We must restrain the hero who can use the 'Meteor Shower' with precision at high altitude. You attack them with our dragons, keeping your formation and speed so that their griffons and dragonflies don't pose a threat to you. ”
"Yes, my lord, I will return to the fleet immediately."
Daeyang and Bartlett stood in the sky above the Jeju City fleet, waiting for the "Meteor Shower" to cool down and continue bombing the slow-moving fleet below.
In the distance, the Blackfire fleet had already begun to change its attack formation, and the three-masted battleships slowly crossed the hull as they sailed, and after entering the range of the artillery fire, they could complete a three-masted battleship
Battle line, 140 guns on one side.
The Third Fleet, consisting of 10 brigs, continued to approach from the eastern flank. According to the original plan, the main fleet would provide them with fire cover, and when the Third Fleet rushed to a position 500 meters away from the Jeju Island fleet, it would insert itself into the central battlefield in a battle line formation to take over the attack mission of the main fleet, and the main fleet would take the opportunity to cut in and approach the Jeju City fleet.
In the course of the march, the encirclement of the enemy fleet was completed, and the main fleet in the center and the Jeju Fortress fleet were crushed with side guns, and the second and third fleets attacked their heads and tails, completing the encirclement and annihilation of this fleet that violated their territorial waters.
So far, it seems that everything is going very smoothly, except for the Second Fleet, which is attacked by the enemy's high-ranking magicians. Now that the enemy's high-ranking mages have left the Second Fleet, the battle plan is back on track.
Now it's up to you to see if the Archangel, the Frost Dragon, and the Great Bright can hold down the dragons and high-level mages of the enemy fleet.
Da Liang, who has been using data support, has captured the traces of the enemy's high-level mage through the background, and he is using the door of another dimension to return, but this kind of spatial teleportation is really unpredictable, unless it can be interrupted by the attack when the opponent casts the spell, even with the speed of the hell angel Juliet.
It seems that Juliet, which can only be used for an hour, cannot be released at the beginning of the battle.
Da Liang thought back to the battle in Songjiang City, and the dungeon magicians who also mastered high-level qi magic, flying thaumaturgy, and the gate of another dimension would definitely not survive as long as they were close to Juliet, but it was too difficult to create the conditions for getting close.
"The enemy's high-level magicians are back, and their black and red dragons will definitely come up, and all personnel are ready to fight. Shu Xiao, Shu Xiao. ”
When Shu Xiao heard this, he said, "Yes, Master, what are your instructions?" ”
"You and Orbit do a good job of dividing the labor, and when our fleet fires, let him take our griffins and dragonflies to attack the surface ships of the enemy fleet, and you will make the overall dispatch at high altitude."
Shu Xiao didn't take action, Da Liang didn't let herself directly participate in the battle, she was dissatisfied: "You let me see the scenery? I don't do it. ”
"The enemy has an air and space warship and a high-level mage, and it is unknown whether this battle can be won or not, you are connected to the adjudication data platform at high altitude, and we will use the modern data chain of command to do it with the NPC. In this battle, you will be wronged first, give us an early warning aircraft, and next time I will find a suitable person to replace you. ”
"Okay......" Although he was unwilling, Shu Xiao, who has professional military qualities, knows how important it is to have a high-altitude command and transfer personnel in such a large-scale naval and air battle to affect the war situation. Now the players in this war are themselves and Da Liang, Da Liang has to deal with the enemy's dragons and senior mages, so the work of monitoring and scheduling can only be done by himself, "Next time I bring Gu Tao, she is more careful and patient than me, hehehe...... Just let me tweak a little bit to make sure I'm up to the job of a high-conditioning commander. ”
Da Liang hurriedly said: "Training is my business, you can teach her how to do high air conditioning, and resolutely stop all the inducements of violent tendencies." ”
"Got it, let's get to work. I can only stare at when I come from afar, and I am already very unhappy. No matter how verbose it is, be careful that I teach Tao'er a few tricks, and I guarantee it. ”
Da Liang felt a chill in his crotch, and sure enough, he couldn't roll up his sleeves and step forward in a large-scale battle, which really made Shu Xiao very unhappy.
"I'll say one last sentence, keep an eye on the high-level magician you are dealing with, and point out his location for me on the data chain at any time, the key point in this battle is him, if we have a chance to kill him, we can basically win."
"Understood." Shu Xiao handed over the second-level command of the griffin and dragon fly to Orbit, controlled the silver Pegasus into the higher airspace, and combined the field of vision he saw with the ruling data background, "Start data support, now mark friendly and enemy ......"
At this time, the main fleet of the Black Fire had completed the battle formation, and in the roar of the artillery, the erupting gunpowder smoke formed a line, and a row of black shells drew a parabola in the air and shot at the Jeju City Fleet that was still marching in formation.
The Jeju Fortress fleet also met with artillery.
"Boom Boom ......"
The sound of the cannon never stopped.
