Chapter 411: Naval Battle in the Night
The last rays of light faded, and the vast sea suddenly seemed to be obscured by a black curtain, and the visibility became extremely low.
Blood Sword was so angry that he watched Lu Yao's fleet disappear into the night. The fat to the mouth flew, and it was really a great shame.
"Chase, they must not have fled yet." The bloody sword clasped the fence and gritted its teeth and roared.
"The visibility is not enough, and they have lost their trace." A player next to him looked up at the crescent moon hanging in mid-air, and his face was very ugly.
Tonight it was a nice day, and there were no clouds to cover it. The faint moonlight sprinkled down, and the surrounding sea area of about 100 meters was faintly visible, and a little farther away, it was completely swallowed up by darkness, and it was completely impossible to see.
"Sub-Ao." The blood sword slammed into the fence with a hateful fist, and it was so angry that it was about to explode.
"We can't find them. They can't see us either. Wait until tomorrow, we will definitely be able to find them. The player comforted him, but he was not confident that he would find the Paradise City Navy again.
Under the cover of night, the vast sea is far away. As long as Lu Yao is not stupid, it is impossible to stay and fight with such a strong naval army as his own.
Blood Sword had no choice but to tell his subordinates to pay attention to the route, and he returned to the cabin to send a private message to the Heavenly Sun.
It was late at night, and thirty ships and one hundred ships were sailing at a steady pace. When sailing at night, the speed of the ship should not be too fast, so as not to cause collisions between fleets in the event of an accident.
The night guards on the flotilla were sleepy-eyed, desperately trying to resist the sleepy attack. Today's high-intensity pursuit made everyone tense their nerves. Now that I am relaxed, I can't stop my sleepiness. No one saw a flotilla behind the fleet, three hundred meters away, like a ghost.
"Lord Wang, the wind is just right, when will you attack?" Gan Ning stood behind Lu Yao and asked in a low voice.
The night is dark and the wind is high, and the night kills people.
It is now the third watch in the middle of the night, and the other party has completely relaxed his vigilance. If you attack at this moment, you will definitely be able to take the opponent by surprise, and once you get the first move, the next naval battle will be considered stable.
"You are the governor of the Xanadu Water Army, and you don't need to ask this king." Lu Yao stood with his hands in his hands and directly said that he would not interfere with Gan Ning's command.
"The last general will definitely live up to the king's trust." Gan Ning was immediately overjoyed.
The prince is a good person.
The reason why he joined Lu Yao was to make a name for himself. I thought that the famous King Zhuya would personally command this battle, but I didn't expect that in the end, Lu Yao would completely delegate his power and personally admit that he was the governor of the navy to command this battle.
At this moment, he was really willing to serve Lu Yao.
After receiving Lu Yao's complete decentralization, Gan Ning was full of spirits, personally took over the flag handed by the guards around him, and issued an order for a full-scale raid.
The sail thieves on each ship received the order from the flagship and immediately went into action. In an instant, five Qiankun ships and twenty warships were raised full of sails at the same time. Under the howling sea wind, the entire fleet instantly accelerated.
"Hurry up, bring the brazier and prepare it for the fire."
Footsteps rang out on the decks of the ships. The newly trained sailors were slightly chaotic in their respective preparations. The archer holds his bow and arrows, and next to it is a brazier that has not yet been lit. Another man crouched by the brazier to light the fire.
Soon the distance between the two fleets was closer. Gan Ning stared on the flagship and saw that the front of the fleet had entered within 100 meters of the Chiyang City Navy, and immediately gave an order to light the brazier.
At this time, the navy army trained by Gan Ning himself was quite stable. The brazier is lit, and the archer sticks an arrow into the brazier and ignites it. For a time, the sea was dotted with stars, and it was extraordinarily gorgeous. But under the splendid scene, there is a strong murderous intention.
"Enemy attack."
The Chiyang City Navy finally discovered the Xanadu City Navy that was close at hand. A terrible scream instantly tore through the night and woke up the entire fleet.
"Shoot the arrows." Gan Ning laughed and gave an order.
In an instant, countless ignitions of light rose into the air, covering the tail end of the Chiyang City Water Army. Suddenly screams rang out, and the dense rockets shot over the soldiers who rushed to the deck. A small number of rockets hit flammable materials such as sails, cables, etc., and soon a sea of fire and smoke filled the air.
"Cut through." Gan Ning intently checked the other party's movements, and ordered in a deep voice.
The Paradise City Navy immediately changed a slight angle, grazing the edge of the Chiyang City Navy and cutting through. There are less than twenty meters between the boats. The fleets of the two sides exchanged views, and Gan Ning gave another order. Dense rockets were fired, and the ships of the Chiyang City Navy were named one by one.
The fleet cut, and Gan Ning looked back. In the wave of raids just now, at least twenty ships of the Chiyang City Navy were ignited by rockets. Eight of the ships had their sails consumed by the flames, lost all power, and continued sailing only by inertia.
"Turn the rudder and go around to the rear." Gan Ning secretly said that it was a pity, and then ordered.
The scale of the Chiyang City Water Army is too large. A hundred warships guarded the middle 30 ships tightly. The raid just now had a good effect, but it failed to deal a fatal blow to the Chiyang City naval army and burned several building ships.
The fleet made an arc and recircled to the rear of the Chiyang City naval army. Gan Ning saw the fire on the deck of the fleet in front of him, and hesitated. The other party has obviously reacted and is ready to fight back. Now that I have lost the opportunity, I can continue to fight, but I will inevitably suffer some losses.
"To fight or not?"
Gan Ning was very entangled in his heart, and secretly glanced at Lu Yao in front of him. However, Lu Yao's expression was indifferent, he completely regarded himself as an audience, and he had no intention of giving orders at all, and truly achieved the delegation of power promised before the war.
"Hit." Gan Ning hesitated for a moment, and immediately strengthened his mind.
As the so-called mercy does not take charge of the army, one will become famous and ten thousand bones will wither.
He thought to himself that there was no rival in water warfare. Although the enemy was outnumbered in this naval battle, we had the upper hand and it was not a problem to win. Some of the losses are well within the scope of acceptance.
At the sound of an order, the fleet picked up speed again, cutting sharply from the other side of the Chiyang City naval army. The flotillas of both sides converged. Dense rockets immediately took off from the decks of the fleets of both sides.
"Extinguish the fire." Gan Ning shouted, and then commanded the fleet to leave as soon as he touched it, never greedy for merit.
The place where the fire started on the deck was quickly extinguished. The sails that bulged under the sea breeze were hit by rockets, and with the concerted efforts of the prepared sailors, they quickly lowered the sails and used the sails themselves to extinguish the flames before the wind helped the fire cause the sails to burst into flames.
The flotilla raised its sails again.
Gan Ning looked back. The effect is quite good. More than 20 ships of the Chiyang City Navy were on fire. A third of the 100 ships guarding the building ship had been lost. Thirty ships like ancient beasts looked particularly miserable under the escort of the remaining fifty or so ships.
Seeing that the Chiyang City Navy had damaged nearly half of the ships, Gan Ning laughed and gave the order without thinking. The entire fleet went around an arc and crashed straight into it.
