Volume II Southern Beacon 1228 Deathmatch
The sea reflected by the firelight was like boiling water, the superior group of imperial ships began to show overwhelming superiority as the distance approached, the huge battleship pressed like a beast in the night, and the hull filled with iron plates flashed with a cold light that made people's hearts palpitate under the reflection of the fire in the night.
The sea breeze was filled with a strong pungent smell of sulfur, and although the Third Squadron only had 5 warships, with the huge aftermath of the sea hegemon, dense shells and catapults came and went, and they fell on the sea around the warships of both sides, splashing countless columns of water.
"Attack, rush forward!"
The siege from the Imperial warship group started in an instant, and the fireball that crashed down like a meteor, and the deadly fire that erupted from the side of the falcon warship, like two huge beasts rolling on the surface of the sea, tearing and biting, scattering countless fragments,
I saw that the huge battleship, which was already riddled with holes, was shattered by the left wing of the incendiary bomb in an instant, and the huge mast with a height of 20 meters "snapped" and smashed down heavily in the air.
Then the stern rudder of the wrecked battleship also quickly burned, and the hull completely lost power, forming a huge zigzag on the surface of the sea.
"Hold on, never back down!" In the Falcon Navy's dragon tooth ship, the four captains have completely given up the plan to fight in a roundabout way, the four dragon tooth ships are like a half-arc, horizontal in front of the dragon class battleship, the broken hull, the broken sail, in the huge catapult rain from the opposite side, the dragon tooth ship hull swayed left and right, the water waves rushed to the deck, and the sailors above rushed and rolled in all directions, but they were like four fighters who would not retreat, fighting with the approaching elephant herd,
The explosive bombs have been fired, and the dragon tooth ship has even used the chain ball bomb used to destroy the opponent's sails, and the sailors who carried the chain ball are sweating profusely in the cold night, and the gunners almost don't even need to aim, they directly fire at the huge hull that is shaking not far away,
The flames were like clouds, and the surrounding sea turned a blood-red color.
The crisp and piercing sound of squeezing and shattering sounded in front of the front, and the two iron balls launched from the rumbling muzzles rotated at high speed, landing on the side of a battleship in front with a violent whistling sound, and the hull of the ship was directly disemboweled.
Broken wood flew sideways, even if it was a solid baffle, it couldn't block the close impact of the chain ball, and the solid iron ball relied on the huge inertia to smash all the obstacles inside, and the hull of the battleship that was hit shook violently, and the speed quickly stopped, and finally stopped completely on the sea, the huge hull was like a lifeless fish swinging sideways, and you could clearly see the chaotic figure running back and forth above,
Mirony's gaze swept over the wreckage of his own warships that were almost all around the opponent, and the fierce battle in front of him had reached a fever pitch, and the imperial ship group would be stunned by this brutal and almost hand-to-hand fierce attack.
This was unthinkable before, and though it was not obvious now, it was evident from the frightened movements and detours of the ships, and the glorious Imperial fleet had made a fearful encirclement under the fierce blows of this small fleet of barbarians
The time was extended to 9 o'clock in the evening, and from the dark tide to the present, the two sides have been fighting fiercely for more than an hour.
"My lord, the deck of the Girakaya is shattered, the mast has been severely damaged, please withdraw from the battle!"
"My lord, the Annathan's hull is leaking and has come to a standstill!
"My lord, Sir Russell's assault ship has sunk!
One by one, shocking news came, 11 ships, in just one hour, Mirony found that her capital ship group had been sunk or damaged to 11 ships, and the tragic price paid in this siege and annihilation battle was completely beyond the imagination of this famous imperial admiral, "Stop trebuchet, I want to capture these warships!" Mirondy's expression was cold, her fingers were tightly sunk into the side of the ship, and the entire sea was filled with white smoke, although the Third Fleet fought very tenaciously, under the heavy losses of the sinking of 2 dragon tooth ships, the other 2 dragon tooth ships were still guarding the flanks of the dragon class flagships like a barrier, but under the full pressure of the enemy, the counterattack that the Falcon Navy could launch was getting weaker and weaker, and with the consumption of ammunition, only the dragon class main battleships on the sea were still occasionally spewing fire from the side gun bays,
The two remaining Dragon's Tooth battleships had stopped shelling, and the deck was full of sailors with a variety of weapons, spears, short battle axes, hammers, crossbows, flails, and a small ballista was also pushed onto the deck, and the sides of these Dragon's Tooth battleships had been piled up in the enemy's battleship collision, making a creaking sound that almost shattered, compared to the larger enemy ships, the Dragon's Tooth ships were obviously not superior in size, and were pushed on the surface of the sea for some distance before stopping, "Kill them all!" Countless enemy ship sailors jumped from the side of the ship from a high place,
The falcon sailors on the deck let out a fierce roar, strangled with the rain of falling enemies, and the spear pierced into the human body before it could be drawn. The enemy surging up behind has been brandished with a long sword to cut down, the smell of blood mixed with the seawater, the tragic battle of the ship, so that the falcon sailors have no room to retreat, "pop" spears and short knives on the side of the ship poured against each other, people crowded people, the corpse did not even have a place to fall, can only be pushed by the successor under the rough sea, dense enemies like a tide, from the low side of the dragon's tooth battleship from all directions, the cry of battle resounded across the sea,
"Boom"
When the sails of the escort dragon tooth ship were completely burned and the enemy climbed all over the deck, the seriously injured captain chose the last strategy to blow himself up! The captain of the dragon tooth threw the torch into the gun bay ammunition warehouse with his bloody arm, and the corner of his mouth showed an unyielding grin: "Come, rabbit cubs! Our navy will eventually conquer you and conquer this ocean! Haha" In the desolate and heroic laughter, "boom" The huge explosion sounded again, the flames soared into the sky, and I saw several huge fire dragons erupting from the middle of this dragon's tooth warship, and the violent explosion bombarded this almost half-damaged dragon's tooth ship, along with the mast and deck and the enemies above, and all kinds of debris fell down like a heavenly maiden's scattered flowers, exuding a hellish atmosphere, and the thick flames quickly engulfed the hull of this dragon's tooth ship, and a grand cremation was held
"Bastard, who the hell is the other party?"
Mai Lunty stared at the fire that illuminated the sea, he had already given the order to capture the opponent's warship, and it was precisely because of this that although the ship group had a numerical advantage, it also chose to use the most direct and tragic way of engaging the ship after damaging the opponent.
Otherwise, just relying on the catapults on a large battleship would be enough to sink the opponent several times, but the opponent's strength and unyielding spirit also shocked this battle-experienced Imperial Navy admiral, with 4 warships against an enemy ten times his size, in a completely inferior situation, he was able to obtain such a jaw-dropping record, the opponent's combat power is definitely much stronger than the Imperial fleet, and the firepower of the opponent's huge flagship is enough to defeat the most powerful warship of the Empire
Where did this stubborn reef come from? Like a huge question mark, it almost filled Mirony's heart.
"If what you encounter is just a small fleet from a mysterious place on the opposite side, then you will stab a hornet's nest this time, behind the other party, there is likely to be a strong fleet group, otherwise how can you cultivate such a tenacious and honorable navy,
If the other party launches a full-scale retaliation, will the defenseless Imperial Navy really be able to compete with it? This thought made Merenti glance at the sea illuminated by the firelight in the distance, and for some reason, he felt that the sea was becoming more and more rapid at the moment, and then he suddenly realized a problem,
It's too dazzling, such a big fire, I believe it can be seen even from dozens of miles away, if the other party really has other companions, this thought made him shudder deeply, he didn't dare to think about it, and ordered loudly, "Order the fleet to sink the enemy with all its strength, and immediately withdraw from the engagement area!" "Boom"
Before his words had completely fallen, a continuous loud rolling thunder came from the northeast direction of the fleet, the sea boiled again, and countless arcs of red light attacked from the northeast, which was as magnificent as a meteor group, and even made Mirenti have a moment of trance,
Countless pillars of fire interweave a spectacular and tragic picture on the sea surface, "popping" I saw more than ten pillars of fire shooting out from the side of the hull, the sails of the unsuspecting battleships burned, the deck was shattered, the battleship group of our side was like leaves in a storm, and it was swept in in an instant, there were flamed battleships everywhere, and there were sailors diving into the water everywhere, the red flames were like a giant dragon rolling on the sea, these huge red palms overturned the battleship on the sea with an unstoppable momentum, and countless water columns rose and fell one after another next to the battleship, and the picture was extremely dangerous
The sound of violent bombardment was heard again, and this time Mirony finally saw the situation around him clearly, and in the dark sea, countless huge white sails appeared from the sea in the distance, as many as more than twenty warships with the same strange shape as the previous ones,
Leaping out of the waves like tuna, the huge wave marks formed by the acceleration of the ship group, like a huge sharp blade, seemed to divide this dark sea in half, these strange warships continued to spew fire as they went,
"Immediately give the order, the flagship evacuates, and all the battleships participating in the battle are free to evacuate the combat area" Mironty shouted hoarsely to the already frightened herald, what he was most worried about had happened, and the shape in front of him could only make the choice to retreat immediately, if he didn't leave, the entire ship group would be buried here
