Chapter 369: The First Battle at Sea
At noon, the sky is clear, the sea breeze is blowing, kicking high and fleeing, the seabirds are flying, the wind is surging, the water and the sky are the same color, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
At this time, a fleet of more than 100 large and small warships, the largest of which was 12 warships more than 200 meters long and nearly 20 meters wide, were slowly leaving the port of the island and heading towards the depths of the sea.
These huge warships are simply small land, shining with inexplicable ferocity under the sun, which will inexplicably give people an extremely oppressive and terrifying feeling.
At this time, when it was a good time to go to sea, Yun Ji was also a little intoxicated, but Yun Ji's instinctive vigilance naturally did not change with the scenery in front of him.
Going to sea means fighting, and now Yunji is already very familiar with these, not to mention that group of pirates have to face!
After walking for less than an hour, the guards came to report that a large number of warships had been found in front of them, and they were moving in their direction at great speed, needless to say, it was definitely Roger's pirate fleet.
"Blow the trumpet, raise the flag, and get ready for battle!" Yun Ji gave an order, and suddenly the entire fleet began to get busy, catapults, etc., archers, etc. were quickly in place.
"Blade Array!"
As Yun Ji's order was conveyed, the entire fleet quickly turned into a sharp arrow, led by twelve large sail warships, with dozens of small and medium-sized warships each, and rushed towards the opposite warship.
At this time, the generals on the opposite side saw the formation of Yunji's side, and immediately quickly turned the warship into a two-wing formation, forming two rows of vertical rows, leaving a long space in the middle, allowing Yunji's warship to rush over.
However, at this time, the warships approached rapidly, only to hear the sound of war drums began to sound, and the whole battlefield was full of nervous blood, and when the two sides were about to approach, the twelve warships of Yunji's army quickly attacked the pirate warships on one wing.
The pirates thought that the Yunji Army had such a big warship, and originally thought that the other party might only have the same warship as them, but now the advantage of the enemy's warship is obviously much higher, and the tall warship, like a giant beast, rushed towards their warship, and before the battle, there was already some commotion in the pirate fleet.
"Come on, whoever dares to run around and shake the hearts of the army, kill!"
Roger didn't think that he went to sea once, and his hometown was the most served, Roger was so angry that he scolded, his ship was not as good as someone else's, but it didn't mean that Roger had no choice, many years of naval combat experience told him that he still had a way, otherwise he would have been surrounded and suppressed by the army of the Holy See.
"Humph!" Roger snorted coldly, "Order, all the warships will carry out wolf pack tactics, and I will surround the enemy ships to fight." ”
A flag bearer quickly lowered the flag, and suddenly, the entire Roger's fleet began to change formation again, and began to become disorganized, surrounding the twelve large ships of the clouds.
Yun Ji saw it, and immediately understood what Roger's Haiji idea was, and he also snorted coldly, as a current person, he couldn't cope with such a scene, it was too much of a failure.
"Someone, the herald, the iron bucket array, small and medium-sized warships are fighting close to the big ship, the big ship is mainly attacked by catapults at a distance, and the melee is mainly attacked by bows and arrows, and at the same time, hit me over. Hum! ”
Soon, the warship approached, the first wave was the catapult attack, on the big ship, a medium-sized catapult began to exert power, a basin-sized stone flew towards the enemy's warship, many fell into the water, the entire water immediately splashed a column of water several meters high, and fell on the warship, the warship immediately made a loud noise, followed by a shaking, and a huge hole immediately appeared in the deck of the warship.
If you are not lucky, as soon as some of the warships are hit, they begin to leak on the top of the ship, and the whole ship is immediately panicked, and after a while, seeing that the warship is about to sink, many people began to jump into the sea, ready to swim to the warship near the other ship.
But at this time, the battle has begun, and the sound of "booming" catapults is constantly happening between the two sides, but unfortunately the other party's catapults are only small, and they can almost only be in a passive situation.
However, under the command of Roger, the pirates rushed towards Yunji's warship without fear of death, and before the big ship that had not yet approached Yunji, many small and medium-sized warships had been hit by stones, especially as soon as the small warship was smashed, it was immediately torn apart, and suddenly, the pirates panicked.
And the medium-sized warship was smashed, and there was also a huge shaking and shaking, and as for the pirates who were smashed, they were naturally killed.
Soon, the two warships collided together, and the Yunji Army, relying on the strength of the warship, flew the wood of the medium-sized warship, twisted and twisted, and then took its last breath on the water and slowly sank.
At this time, more pirates began to throw their anchor hooks at the warship, and grabbed the anchor hook tightly, and crawled towards the warship, and just after a few steps, the archers on the warship began to wield their might.
Suddenly, a rain of arrows shot at the pirates, who were completely unprepared that the Clouds Army would have a large number of archers on each one, and only heard the screams of one piece, and then the sound of falling into the water.
Immediately, the blood of the pirates stained the sea red, and these pirates shouted for help in the sea, but the whole battlefield, there was no one to hear the shouts of killing, and even if they did, they had no time to pay attention to these pirates.
At this time, the pirates who were about to rush to the ship were cleaned up by the archers for a while, and there were not many left, and the soldiers also threw their anchor hooks, hooked the pirates' warships, and even slipped over and killed the pirates, but as soon as they made contact, the soldiers of the Yunji Army were obviously at a disadvantage.
Yun Ji was fighting on the warship at this time, frowning, and said to the people below, "You are not allowed to get off the ship to engage in battle." ”
The training is not as good as that of pirates, after all, there are many level 7 troops among pirates! And the ship battle is not as good as the pirates, who live on the sea all day long, they have such an advantage, but they are cut off with the pirates, this is not looking for death!
Look at the soldiers who got off the ship to engage in the battle, on the warship, they were a little swaying from side to side while fighting, how could they still exert ten percent of their combat power! If it weren't for the support of the archers on the big ship, they would have been killed by pirates.
"Stupid, stupid!"
At this time, as soon as Roger saw that the two armies were engaged, the Yunji army used the advantage of their big ships to strike at them from far and near, and used all the means such as ramming, but their own side suffered heavy losses, only half an hour after the war, their own side lost more than 100 warships, and many of them were wounded and heartbroken! What a family foundation that I have accumulated with great difficulty!
But if this continues, the entire pirate army may be wiped out!
Yunji Roger hated it, if he wanted to die, he would die together, and immediately ordered his men to retreat.
