Chapter 555: Burning Dusk (Medium)

The naval battle in the South China Sea has been going on for three hours, and the time has been switched from morning to noon, but it is clear that as things stand, both sides still have the strength to fight.

When the main fleet of the orcs was pinned down by the small Xiyi Thousand Fire Ships, the official ships of the Xiyi also moved to both sides of the Anzhai ships according to the original plan, which was the area of engagement between the 4 fleets of the Crescent Empire and the 4 non-main fleets of the Orcs.

The non-main fleet of orcs is the iron crocodile battleship specially designed and built by goblin craftsmen for the orc empire, which looks like a diamond-shaped battleship, equipped with a total of 8 goblin stone crossbows and 1 goblin return cannon, in addition to the iron crocodile battleship's ramming angle is also made of steel, as for the number of sails on the ship, it is the same as the number of standard battleships and columns in the sunset fleet, all of which are 3 sails.

The only feature of the Iron Crocodile Battleship is that this kind of battleship has a good impact ability, if the side of the Elf Battleship on the Crescent side is hit by the Iron Crocodile Battleship at full speed, then the Elven Battleship of the Crescent Empire is likely to be smashed into two sections, of course, due to the southerly wind blowing today, it is not easy for the Iron Crocodile Battleship to go full speed, and the so-called most threatening Iron Crocodile Battleship is still the war equipment on its deck.

As for the Crescent Moon Empire, all the people from the Crescent Moon Elves are full moon warships. Although the name sounds like this kind of battleship should belong to medium and heavy warships, in fact, the full moon battleship is a light warship like the crescent moon battleship, and in addition to a small number of ballistas, there are also a large number of elven archers with purple-shirted longbows.

As for the Crescent Empire's two human fleets, there is nothing outstanding about them, most of them are equipped with torsion trebuchets and ballistas, and many powerful navies in the King Continent are equipped with Burke standard 3-sail medium warships, a kind of warship that is relatively average in all aspects, with no outstanding points and no weaknesses.

Although the fleets of the orc side and the crescent moon side have not fought before, after all, the crescent moon empire and the orc empire are neighbors, and the two sides still have some understanding of the structure of each other's warships, and the combat skills of both sides are the same, so after the battle, the two sides presented a combat situation that seemed to have been discussed by both sides before: the iron crocodile fleet on the orc side wanted to fight with the fleet on the crescent moon empire side, but the warships on the crescent moon side just refused. And with a speed that is faster than the Iron Crocodile Battleship, it fights with short-range battles.

On the crescent moon side, the full moon battleship on the elven side relied on a large number of elven archers to shoot orcs with rocket arrows, and at the same time used the good mobility of the battleship to avoid the battleship from being attacked by the goblin return cannon and goblin crossbow on the orc side, while the warship on the human side was like a firefighter, if it found that an orc battleship caught the elven full moon battleship with an iron hook, it immediately rushed over to attract the attention of the orc battleship, so that the elf side could cut off those iron hooks, And if it really can't work, cooperate with the warships of the elves to flank the orcs' iron crocodile battleships on both sides, and engage in brutal shipside battles with the orcs on the battleship.

While the orcs were struggling to pursue the elven Full Moon Battleships that were as annoying as flies, they also used the powerful power of the Goblin War Machines to continue to kill the Burke Battleships, which were moving slower than the Full Moon Battleships. Because in the eyes of the orcs, the elven ballistae and arrows that do not hurt the iron crocodile warships are not harmful, but those Burke warships that carry hand-to-hand combat with orc warriors are a big threat.

The two sides were generally evenly matched at the beginning of the battle, and the orcs were able to hold down the Crescent Moon with their powerful goblin weapons and well-balanced iron crocodile warships. But the good times didn't last long, just when the loss of the warships on the Crescent side reached 3/10, and the loss of the non-main fleet on the Orc side reached more than 2/10, in the Xiyi fleet where the sun never set, because the Thousand Fire Ships made trouble within its two main fleets of the orcs, about 30 Xiyi official ships withdrew from the area where the main warships of the two sides were engaged and came to reinforce the Crescent side.

The city-defending crossbows on these slow-moving mansion ships are a threat to the orc's mammoth warships, not to mention their threat to the Iron Crocodile warships. With its relatively good precision strike ability, several Iron Crocodile warships were soon sunk by the official ships.

These 30 official ships have obviously been marked as the most threatening warships by the Iron Crocodile Warship, so it didn't take long for no less than 50 Iron Crocodile Warships to attack the official ship on which the sun never sets.

Seeing this situation, of course, the Crescent Moon side could not sit idly by, after all, these more than 30 Xiyi warships that came to support them were the capital for them to win the 4 orc non-main fleets, so the human fleet on the Crescent Moon side even gave up assisting those Full Moon warships, and came to stop the 50 iron crocodile warships of those orcs to destroy Xiyi's official mansion ship.

However, to the regret of the human warships of the Crescent Empire, because their reaction time was slow, they did not assemble into a better defensive line in a short period of time after discovering the attempt of the orc iron crocodile battleship, so that no less than 10 iron crocodile warships broke through the Burke battleship and rushed to Xiyi's official ship.

As for the official residence ship, because it had just gone through a round of giant crossbow salvo to defend the city before, and the captain of the Xiyi official house ship would not expose the fragile hull of the official house ship to the orc warship in order to use the naval battle scorpion crossbow, so that it could use the hard ramming angle to smash the official house ship in two, so after a short period of weighing the pros and cons, these Xiyi warships who came to support immediately made a look like an iron crocodile warship fighting a ship.

After this situation was seen by the rushing orc warriors, most of the orc warriors began to laugh loudly, because they had already seen these strange-looking warships captured by the orc warriors after fighting on the side of the ship. Of course, if these orc warriors knew that the ships carried by these Xiyi official mansions, except for the Xiyi sailors, were all those Xiyi warriors who could beat the orc sailors to the ground in the shipside war, it is estimated that they would not laugh now, and not only would they not laugh out loud, but they would immediately turn around and stop fighting with these Xiyi official mansion ships. Of course, it's too late to say anything by now.

Ten minutes later, the sailors of the non-main fleet of the orcs were shocked to find that a Xiyi sailor had climbed onto the observation platform on the sail of the Iron Crocodile warship, and planted the golden war lion flag on which the sun never set to replace the flag of the orc fleet.
