Wang Hao saw Nelson again, but he did not receive any preferential treatment.
Like many ordinary players, they looked at the majestic man standing on the deck of the "Victory" from a distance.
Nearly ten thousand battleships with very similar shapes and styles surrounded him, and the cold sea breeze blew the Yonago flag.
His eyes were level, as if he had penetrated time and space, looking at the enemy's situation from a distance.
Due to previous harassment and losses suffered in the initial stages, the number of British Royal Navy was actually only more than 9,000 ships.
The French navy numbered exactly 10,000.
However, due to the existence of the military soul buff, the strength of the British side is not weaker than that of the other side.
However, the number of players in France is nearly two million more than that in the UK.
Nelson couldn't help but frown. The enemy's number was somewhat beyond his expectation, so he needed to be prepared in advance.
In fact, what he just did was really observing the situation in the French camp.
This is also an open secret among the upper echelons of the British Navy.
Nelson's gift is insight, he can see far away, and he can often see through the other party's intentions through a few clues.
This is an auxiliary talent, but combined with his commanding ability, it can cause anyone a headache.
In response to the arrangement of the French Navy, he made some subtle adjustments to his fleet. He believed that when the battle came, he would definitely be able to surprise the opponent.
At this time, Wang Hao was leading the Holy Blood United Fleet to stop at an inconspicuous place. In this kind of decisive battle involving tens of millions of ships, the power of an individual is small, and two thousand ships are also like a pebble.
, even if you throw it into a sea of people, not a single bubble will pop out.
In this battlefield, every player has only one chance. Players who die will be cleared out of this sea area.
Therefore, if you want to get higher scores, then saving your life is the first criterion.
Of course, the so-called "saving your life first" does not mean that you can run around the entire battlefield, that would seem to be faster.
Wang Hao's trick is to always follow closely behind the large army and rush in to take a bite when he sees the opportunity. Just like a hunter, patience is their best weapon.
It's not a smart idea to be too pushy in the early stage and plunder points. That will attract more firepower from the enemy fleet. If the enemy commander gets the idea, congratulations, you are dead, no matter who it is.
Although this is a very honorable thing. Because of your outstanding performance, the enemy commanders can't help but want to kill you, but I believe that most people will not be willing to accept such an ending.
As the players arrived one after another, Nelson glanced at the players behind him who continued to rush to join. However, he did not continue to wait, and then waved his arm, and immediately there were flag bearers to convey his orders to other ships.
In a completely closed battlefield with no communicator, semaphore is an indispensable skill in large-scale naval battles.
I saw that the NPC fleet was moving in an orderly manner under the command of Nelson, while the player's fleet was crooked. It looked a bit miserable.
There is no way around this. There are millions of ships, and the players among them are mixed. Even Nelson cannot change their appearance.
In his eyes, these players are only supporting the battle, and it is each other's main fleet that really determines the outcome.
At the same time, France also took action.
The two fleets moved towards the same coordinates, until more than ten minutes later, the two fleets finally met.
"I want to take back the victory that belongs to us."
French naval commander Truquet looked sharply towards the opposite side. His voice did not sound loud, but miraculously it was heard by everyone on the battlefield.
"With me here, you can't do it."
Nelson's answer was also very strong and confident. He seemed to have a different kind of charm, making people involuntarily believe in what he said.
Wang Hao was not far away, and he vaguely saw a conch-shaped object in Nelson's hand. He couldn't help curling his lips. A howling conch cost a few gold coins anyway, but these two guys actually used it as a microphone.
, it really made him unable to help but vomit.
Perhaps because the duration of the conch was limited, the two quickly ended their conversation and the battle was about to begin.
Due to their personalities, the positions of the two sides are also very different.
Wang Hao looked across and his eyelids twitched. Except for Truquet and a few frigates, the others were all players.
In other words, French players will be the main force launching the first wave of attacks, or cannon fodder.
The British side is different. Most of the players are placed on the two wings, and the central army is composed of the British Royal Navy. It can also be seen from here that Nelson is a very proud and confident person.
Wang Hao couldn't help but feel lucky that Nelson was indeed a very good commander. At the same time, he also mourned for the players on the opposite side. These guys were just used to consume the energy and shells of the British main fleet. It was a bit reluctant to use cannon fodder to describe them.
The Holy Blood United Fleet is located in the middle of the right side of the main fleet. They looked at the French players rushing at the front with great excitement on their faces, wondering when they could rush out like this. Even if they died, it would be worth it.
I don’t know what promises Truquet made. Anyway, this group of French players had no consciousness of being cannon fodder. Their eyes were red with excitement from the honors and post-war rewards. They looked at the British Royal Navy in front of them, as if they were
Looking at the moving points one by one, the morale is extremely high.
Nelson looked at the alien rushing toward him, a strange look flashed across his face, and he immediately ordered the attack.
The distance between the two sides was about three hundred yards, but the French players did not expect that the enemy's attack could reach such a distance.
You must know that the range of ordinary artillery is generally between 220 and 250, but the British warships are obviously beyond common sense.
Wang Hao was not surprised by this. The magic weapons that the British navy relied on to dominate were the speed of the ship and the power of the artillery. The range of the artillery was longer than that of other countries.
This does not mean that the British navy is invincible. Each country's navy has different characteristics. For example, German ships have thicker armor and more accurate shooting, while Russian warships are large and rough. However, their attack power is the first in the world.
Let’s not mention this for now.
The French player fleet was obviously stunned by this sudden bombardment. There were nearly 10,000 third-level and above warships, almost 100,000 cannons. So many cannonballs hit the French player fleet, as if they were being bombarded.
It's like combing it through with a comb.
Wang Hao made a rough estimate. Under this round of bombardment, the French player fleet almost paid the price of nearly 10,000 warships being sunk or seriously injured.
There are millions of players in the French camp. This loss is not much, but it is a heavy blow to the crazy momentum of French players.
Looking at the fragments of shipwrecks and sawdust all around, even those who were a little hot-headed couldn't help but wake up. Although the reward was good, it still had to be life-saving to get it, such as the companions who didn't even fire the cannons in front of them.
The final reward is bound to be very limited.
Although they were still rushing towards the British main fleet, as long as they recalled the scene of shipwrecks everywhere in their minds, their hands and feet would involuntarily slow down.
For Nelson, achieving this goal is already a profit.
Truquet seemed not to see the casualties ahead at all. Not long after the first group of players went out to fight, the second group of players were also ready to go out. His purpose was very clear, which was to use the players to consume the opponent's physical strength first.
Then launch a full-scale attack.
"You want to bring me down with these strangers?"
Nelson remained calm on his face, but he snorted coldly in his heart. Although his method of commanding the army was relatively mild, it was not kind-hearted. It made no sense. The other party sent strangers to die, but he let his own strangers
Watching the show in the back.
The players on the left and right who had been watching the battle soon received the order to go out to fight.
The position of the Holy Blood United Fleet is good, and it is not in the sequence of this battle. Many players also showed disappointed looks.
Wang Hao was very speechless about this, but he didn't want to explain that in such a large-scale battle, the early stage of the battle is the most dangerous. As long as he survives this period, the road ahead will be much easier.
Most of his attention was on the French camp. He observed the French formation, speculated on the enemies he might encounter, analyzed the opponent's weaknesses, and formulated an attack plan. With so many heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, where could he go?
I have no time to waste my time.
During this period, the British Royal Navy in the Chinese Army once again taught the French an impressive lesson.
After experiencing the initial salvo, the British never concentrated their firepower like this again. Under Nelson's command, they divided the artillery into three batches and struck in sequence, forming a continuous attack.
The French players seem to be set on the 250-yard dividing line. French ships beyond that line will soon be sunk by artillery fire.
Under the British three-stage shooting, the French player fleet was gradually thinned.
There are many problems that need to be overcome when moving tactics from land to sea. In this regard, Wang Hao can only use the word "admiration" to describe his feelings at the moment. Such exquisite command, at least he cannot do it currently.
.
The top legendary captain truly lived up to his reputation. With one move, he bankrupted the opponent's plan and wiped out hundreds of thousands of enemy players.
Unless Truquet wants to pile up more fate, the plan he formulated will not be feasible.
Under the three-stage firepower, no matter how many ordinary players there are, it will be difficult to gain an advantage.
Having his intentions ruined so easily by his old rival, Truquet's face was naturally not very good. Although there were still a lot of alien cannon fodder underneath, he could not die in vain. He immediately ordered the second batch of players to be dispatched.
The fleet went to support the left and right wings, and the battle in the middle was resolved by himself.
Although the three-stage shooting tactic was good and indeed beyond his expectation, it was not necessarily invincible. Truquet had full confidence in forcing the opponent to change tactics.
A small, extremely fast French NPC fleet rushed towards the opposite side.
The French NPC fleet, also known as the Maritime Dragoons by the outside world, is recognized for its two qualities, one is its fast ship speed, and the other is its fast firing rate. With these two points, the French Navy is undoubtedly the best light cavalry.
The most commonly used tactic of the French Navy is to take advantage of its high-speed movement to find its weak points, hit them with one strike, and then escape hundreds of miles away.
If there is any weakness in this fleet, it is that the armor is too thin and its durability is relatively low.
The advantages and disadvantages are so distinct, which may be the same as the French character, with clear likes and dislikes.
The attacking French fleet did not follow the sailing route of the player fleet in front.
With their ship speed, they quickly passed the player fleet that was blocked outside the blockade.
The British Royal Navy also discovered the situation here and quickly modified part of the shooting essence. Unfortunately, the name of the Sea Dragoon was not blown out. The latter just accelerated collectively and left this round of artillery attacks behind.
Seeing the French main fleet move, Nelson knew that the real battle had begun.
From the beginning to the end, he did not regard those alien players as real opponents, not only him, but Truquet as well.
The battle on both wings is also going on fiercely.
The battle here is basically dominated by players, and both sides are very excited. Compared with the cannon fodder in the middle, they are lucky.
After Nelson's order came, the battle began in full force.
As a reserve force, Wang Hao and others also appeared on the frontline battlefield.
The situation in front of Wang Hao is neither too good nor too bad. The players on both sides are about the same strength. It may be difficult to determine the winner for the time being.
Behind these players are the NPC squadrons of the two countries. Their mission is to guard the left wing of the army. They will not take the initiative to attack until all the players they belong to are dead, but if someone takes the initiative to attack, they will also launch a counterattack.
.
The size of this NPC fleet is roughly maintained at around 1,500, with ordinary third-level ships accounting for the majority, dozens of elite-level ships, and only one boss-level ship, who is the commander of this squadron.
Wang Hao measured the strength gap between them and immediately gave up the plan of charging forward.
He began to lead people around the battlefield. When he encountered a weaker enemy, he would move forward and eat him. If he encountered a large group of enemies, he would retreat quickly. On this battlefield, it was too easy to fight.
There won't be anyone chasing you all the time.
Some people would say that this would slow down the growth of points, but Wang Hao's original intention was not to target the players in front of him.
The reason why he wanders around the battlefield is mainly to attract some individual or small team players. The great man once said that all forces that can be united must be united.
But what Wang Hao has to do requires a lot of helpers.
No one has ever noticed that in a corner of the battlefield, this unknown team is growing rapidly in a snowballing manner. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
