Chapter 618: The History of the Battle of Freljord

The chain of iron cables is not a special means in water warfare, but in the vast majority of cases, it is used in inland river warfare, in which the iron cables of warships are connected, which not only enhances the impact force, but also maintains the formation of coming and going, and can also make the ship more stable.

At sea, however, this chain of iron cables is a bit stranger—if it weren't for the fact that the Northern Sea of Conquest and the Sea of Ice are usually less stormy, this chain could easily have caused the ship to capsize.

So why did the Wolf Fleet do this?

Actually, it's a rather helpless choice.

The Wolf Fleet and the Frost Fleet are opponents of each other.

In many encounters in the past, the Wolf Ship Fleet has always had the upper hand in the battle with its strong defense.

But again, the Frost Fleet is not without its own advantages - the small wooden ships are fast, the design angles are wide, and the Avarosa shoots at a much higher level than the Winterclaw who can only use spears and throwing axes, and in naval battles, the Frost Fleet also has its own unique means of warfare.

Skirmish formation, cross-shuttle, fire suppression.

Due to the small size of the ships and the advantage of side firepower, the Frost Fleet often took advantage of its high mobility in naval battles, and adopted the means of outflanking and breaking into pieces, shuttling between the formations of the wolf ship fleet, giving full play to the advantages of its own shooting, and causing casualties to the deck personnel of the wolf ship fleet.

The basic means is to approach the wolf fleet in a relatively regular dense formation, and then disperse in front of the wolf ships in front of a few pairs, and cross with it.

You must know that because of the large hull of the wolf ship, the distance between ships is also large during the journey, and the small frost navy ships can pass through these gaps.

In the process of this crossing, the sides of the ships will be staggered, and the Avarosa people will use their longbows to throw them in small boats, creating a rain of arrows to threaten the people on the deck of the wolf ship; Or use the short bow to shoot directly at the slurry hole of the wolf ship, killing and injuring the slaves rowing inside, all of which can cause effective damage.

The sailors of the wolf ship could throw more powerful axes and javelins, but the nimble boats were difficult to hit in the waves stirred up by the side of the larger ships; And if you want to seek a broadside battle, it is completely impossible in this high-speed relative movement.

Through this method of breaking the whole into parts, the Frost Navy successfully pulled the battle damage ratio of the two sides to a level of basically equal - high attack and low hit on one side, high hit and low damage on the other, and everyone was half a pound and two pounds and two for each other.

In this case, the wolf ship fleet found a new way.

Chain of Chains.

Don't you like to shuttle?

I've connected the bent ramming angles of the bow of the wolf ship with iron cables, and you'll try wearing another one?

If you wear it, you will be directly stopped by the iron cable, and then the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

With the help of the Iron Chain, the Winterclaws have regained sea power—the connected wolf ships are almost invulnerable.

As mentioned earlier, the fire at the bow and stern of the wolf ship is very strong, and in this case, shuttle warfare cannot be carried out, and the Frost Navy is completely in a state of being hanged.

What to do?

The Avarosa people were not stupid, the wolf ships were connected, and after they suffered several losses, the Frost Navy changed the way of thinking about the war and began to play guerrilla warfare.

The connected fleet of wolf ships was difficult to turn, and it was difficult to return to port as long as they left the port, and the Avarosa simply began to use the maneuverability of the ships to fight the time difference - this idea of all tactics to steal home made the Frost Navy take advantage of a lot of advantages, and many times after the wolf ship fleet was empty, they could only watch the Avarosa people make trouble behind them, but they couldn't turn around.

After all...... The ship can't be reversed.

In view of the dizziness of being beaten by guerrilla warfare, the wolf ship fleet finally refined the current "detachable iron cable" tactic through unremitting efforts - in non-war times, the fleet remains in a normal state, and after discovering the target, when the two sides reach the combat position, the iron rope is thrown by the specially configured Hercules on each ship to complete the chain.

In this way, the wolf fleet not only ensured the already pitiful flexibility, but also avoided the wrong side battle, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

It was also after the advent of this detachable iron cable tactic that the Wolf Ship Navy really suppressed the Frost Navy - even Ash's choice of eastward strategy and shift the focus to the Lakstak Plains was partly due to the pressure from the sea.

There is no problem with the Frost Harbor, but the rest of the place is ...... It is difficult to guarantee safety.

The level of productivity and the deformed development policy greatly limited the level of naval warfare of the Freljords, and although the Winterclaws and Avarosa naval battles were ancient, the technical level of the people never improved, and they were fought back and forth.

On the one hand, the ship is tall and sturdy, and the impact is strong, and on the other hand, with agility and maneuverability, shooting accurately, no matter how many years of fighting, there is no overwhelming result.

Theoretically, it should now be the wolf ship fleet that has the upper hand.

After the Wolf Fleet completed the Chain of Chains, the Frost Fleet did not scatter and fled, but instead chose to hedge, which in Kadru's view, was a sign of victory for his side - several previous encounters proved that the Frost Fleet and the Wolf Fleet of the Chain of Chains would suffer a big loss if they hedged against each other.

But when the two sides actually got in touch, things turned out completely beyond Kadru's expectations.

The wind is blowing.

In the middle of summer, there is theoretically no wind in this area, and the temperature here has been in a state of steady decline when the ocean currents have flattened, and there is no convection and no hurricanes.

Now, however, the wind is blowing.

Cana summoned the power of the storm.

In the face of the increasing wind, Kaderu did not panic at all, and even wanted to laugh - you know, the stronger the wind, the better it is for the large warship, in the huge waves, the small boat can easily capsize, but the big ship can resist the wind and waves.

However, smiling and laughing, Kadru suddenly realized that something was wrong.

How is this wind...... It's always against your own fleet?!

You know, the winds at sea usually appear in cyclonic situations, and it is almost impossible to have a one-way convective wind that goes straight - but now, Cana is calling a one-way storm!

What does this mean?

It means that the fleet of Frost Harbor can attack on the waves in a calm manner!

Sure enough, under the blowing of the strong wind, the wind and waves turned into swells.

The regular waves were getting higher and higher, and the ships facing the wolf fleet in front of the frost fleet were also getting higher and higher in the waves, and appeared steadily on the waves.

No matter how sluggish Cadrew was, he realized that something was wrong—the wind was clearly not a natural phenomenon!

It's a pity that it's too late to understand now.

In the midst of the gale, the oil bladder kite of the Winterclaw people broke one after another, and the entire wolf ship fleet lost its unified command and fell into a situation of fighting on its own.

At the same time, the first wave had arrived, and the surging wave of huge energy smashed into the wolf ship fleet.
