With invisible blades flying around, no soldier could muster the courage to rush out of the cabin and put them down.
Although the ten mine-breaking warships side by side were not sunk, they became a new obstacle and blocked the main route of the East China Sea Fleet's retreat.
After receiving the previous battle report, Shi Dubin just twitched his cheek and said without any hesitation: "Put down the sails, all the warships put down the sails, go along the river, continue to send warships up, push them forward."
This is using ten mine-breaking warships as a shield.
If the trump card that he carefully prepared was destroyed in just one encounter, no one would look good.
But now is obviously not the time to feel distressed. They must grit their teeth and rush forward, even if they know that there are many traps ahead, they will not hesitate.
Shi Dubin now has such a clear understanding, and other members of the East China Sea Fleet also have such a clear understanding.
It's just that the Dragon Roar led by Sean will not let go of this opportunity to hit a fixed target.
Soon the third and fourth rounds of bombardment from the Dragon Roar arrived.
By the time the East China Sea Fleet adjusted its position and pushed the mine-breaking warships forward, only seven were left, and most of the other three had sunk.
Of the seven ships, half were severely damaged and were about to sink or were sinking.
Earthquake bombs, ground spike bombs.
Rip bullets, wind blade bullets.
Flares, blinding bombs.
Pulse bombs, sonic bombs.
Flame bombs, fire wall bombs.
Black zone bullet, black touch bullet.
Freeze bombs, ice pick bombs.
As the East China Sea Fleet entered the white fog area, the Dragon Roar dropped various special artillery shells and upgraded special artillery shells for free.
From the beginning to the end, the position of the Dragon Roar has not even moved, but it is unrealistic to speculate on the position of the Dragon Roar through ballistics.
The mirage originating from the mirage python is brilliant in that the illusions it creates mix true and false.
Not to mention the explosion effect of magic cannonballs, even those warships in the white fog area can be simulated through illusion.
Those who entered the mirage with them may not necessarily be their friendly ships after a while. Unconsciously, the two sides have distanced themselves, and the projections transformed from the mirage have taken their place.
It's really hard to tell what's real and what's fake when your line of sight is severely blocked.
It's just that the Dragon Roar is a single warship after all. Even with the help of Mirage, the delay and damage effects on a super fleet composed of thousands of warships of various types are ultimately limited.
Half a day later, the main force of the East China Sea Fleet rushed out of the Donau River one after another and rushed into the fog.
The foggy area created by Sean using the Dragon Roar was far beyond the imagination of the East China Sea Fleet.
When they were on the Donau River, they could still discern the direction to some extent.
Although they cannot see far, the current of the river will carry them into the sea.
But when you are on the sea, there are no such obvious signs.
All the warships in the East China Sea Fleet have become blind and can only ram around everywhere, including the Gray Goose where Steubin is located.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong. We have been traveling for more than an hour, and we can run at least fifteen nautical miles, but there is still no end to this fog. I have never heard of any spell that has such a large coverage area." Lina Fleet
The long face said gloomily, "Are we going to keep spinning?"
"Spinning?" Steubin's heart skipped a beat. He looked up at the sail and said, "Is it possible that the opponent still has the ability to control the wind direction?"
"Since the other party has the ability to create heavy fog and control the wind, what's so surprising about it?" Captain Lina asked rhetorically.
"It is indeed possible. In that case, the power of the wind cannot be trusted. Put down the sail and follow the ocean current. No matter how powerful the opponent's magic energy is, it will not be able to change the direction of the ocean current." Steubin quickly came up with a new idea.
.
"Lower the sails, all warships follow the ocean current, and be careful to keep the distance between ships."
"Lower the sails, all warships follow the ocean current, and be careful to keep the distance between ships."
There were shouts one after another on the sea.
The psychedelic white fog directly abolished the most commonly used method of transmitting information at sea - semaphore.
You can only switch to this backward mode.
Baiwu has only shown the effect of visual hallucinations so far, not to the extent of auditory hallucinations.
The East China Sea Fleet is large enough, and the distance between the warships is not particularly wide. Sound can be transmitted through each ship, but the efficiency is far from ideal.
This situation made Steubin feel uneasy again.
In this special environment, even though he knew that he had a numerical advantage, he still felt helpless, as if the enemy would rush out of the white mist at any time. As time went by, his nerves became involuntarily tense, every moment and every moment.
Every second is a torture.
"Enemy ship, enemy fleet discovered."
"Fire! Fire! Blast it, blast it."
After drifting with the ocean current for half an hour, all the soldiers on the Gray Goose felt their eyes brighten and the fog dissipate.
A row of new battleships unique to the Yongye Army lied in front of them.
The soldiers felt chilled at first, but then they became excited again when they discovered that the distance between the two sides was not particularly far, and that they had already entered the effective range of the Gray Goose trebuchet.
Many gunners couldn't hold it any longer and opened fire without waiting for orders from above.
During the three weeks of being trapped on the Donau River, not only senior officials like Stubin were filled with anger, but the soldiers below were also no exception.
The most annoying thing about the Eternal Night Army's leading fleet is that they always hide far away from their firing range and ravage them with artillery fire.
Now that I have finally entered the shooting range, I can't let go of the anger in my heart.
There are often chain reactions on the battlefield.
When one gunner fires, most of the surrounding gunners will follow suit.
The Gray Goose is the current flagship of the East China Sea Fleet. When it opens fire, it will naturally trigger fire from other surrounding warships.
Suddenly, the entire sea surface was filled with the roar of black powder explosions and smoke rising everywhere.
"It hit, it hit, haha... These guys just look powerful, in fact, as long as they close the distance, they are vulnerable, haha..."
"We also sank one ship, turned the gun, turned the gun, they wanted to run, don't give them a chance to escape."
The results of the East China Sea Fleet headed by the Gray Goose were very obvious. Thousands of artillery shells were smashed down at the same time, which could flatten even a mountain, let alone dozens of warships.
In just one shelling, half of them were sunk.
Let the morale of the entire East China Sea Fleet surge.
The fleet led by the Yongye Army was not a good opponent either, and soon launched a counterattack, also hitting thousands of cannonballs.
"Your Majesty, hurry up and order a ceasefire, hurry up and order a ceasefire, something is wrong." Captain Lina shouted to Stubin, with unconcealable horror on his face.
"What's wrong?" Steubin, who was still immersed in the sudden victory, did not react for a moment.
"The number of battleships." Captain Lina hurriedly reported the abnormal situation observed, "The number of battleships intercepted by the Yongye Army at sea does not exceed thirty. So far, the number we have sunk is more than
Even after this number, the opponent is still counterattacking, and there is no significant reduction, let alone the power and accuracy of the artillery shells. This is not like the magic artillery led by the Yongye Army, but more like the shells fired by our crossbows."
"Damn it, we fell into a trap." Shi Dubin understood immediately and said with a sudden change of color, "We did not rush out of the white mist. What we see now is the illusion that the other party wants us to see. Order all battleships
Stay away from the battlefield and stop fighting."
The flags on the Gray Goose were shaking wildly. Except for the slightly closer warships, which responded, the farther warships seemed to be missing, and the sound of shelling continued one after another.
This result made Stubin's internal organs tremble, which proved in disguise that they were still in the white mist with a hallucination effect like that of the Eternal Night Army Leader.
If it wasn't the Eternal Night Army's fleet that was fighting with them, then who was it that was fighting with them now?
Is it the East China Sea Fleet separated by white mist? Or is it their rescue fleet?
No matter which one it was, Stubin couldn't even imagine the consequences.
"Cease fire, all warships cease fire. The opposite side is not the enemy. This is a trap created by the enemy with white mist. All warships cease fire!"
In desperation, Shi Dubin could only resort to shouting mode again.
But this time the effect was very pale.
How could a human voice be heard above the roar of countless exploding shells?
Not to mention, such an order is unbelievable in the eyes of most sailors.
After all, the opponent's attacks have never stopped. If you stop attacking, wouldn't you be waiting to be beaten?
Everything has been completely messed up because of that fog.
This sudden encounter lasted for a full hour, and finally ceased due to the dissipation of the fog.
"Cease fire, everyone stop shelling! Idiot, I ordered you to stop shelling, don't you hear me?"
"Oh my god, what did we just do? That's not the Eternal Night Army's leader fleet at all, that's our battleship!"
The two warring parties finally saw each other's appearance clearly, and everyone was stunned in shock.
On one side is the East China Sea Fleet led by Steubin, and on the other side is the East China Sea Kingdom's reinforcement fleet led by Prince Leiden.
Before this, both sides believed that the fleet they were fighting with was the fleet led by the Yongye Army.
It's not like there are people like Captain Lina who noticed something was wrong and tried to stop the exchange of fire or take the initiative to withdraw from the battle.
It's just that the battle is not a one-sided matter. A large sea battle involving thousands of battleships is also different from ordinary war.
It's easy to start a fight, but it's not that easy to make a truce.
Not to mention that during this process, Sean was sitting on the Dragon Roar, which had been watching with cold eyes. When it found that the flames of war were a little extinguished, it would immediately pour a little oil on it to make it burn more violently.
In the sea area where the two sides are fighting, hundreds of warships are burning and sinking.
"It's really Leiden, it's really Leiden, it's really Leiden!" Although they had already guessed in advance, when they discovered that the battleship they were fighting with was not the battleship led by the Yongye Army, but the one who came all the way from
When the rescue fleet came to rescue them, Steubin's face was still pale. He felt that his heart had been stabbed repeatedly by countless knives. It was no longer bleeding, but bleeding crazily.
Their East China Sea Fleet was besieged by the Yongye Army and was encroached on for three weeks. The total number of battleships lost was less than half of what they had lost in just one hour of fighting.
Again, the water strength of the Yong Ye Army Leader is still too weak to cause fatal damage to them.
On the contrary, it was a confrontation with the rescue fleet led by Prince Leiden. The bases of both sides were large enough. They were gathered in a small water area and it was difficult to distinguish the enemy's situation. The casualties were very shocking.
Not to mention, the whole process is about beating your own people.
If he had known this, why would he ask Prince Leiden for help?
Back then, we just had to rush out of the Donau River regardless of losses. At that time, even if we were faced with the interception of the Eternal Night Army's fleet, the casualties would not be as high as they are now.
Not to mention the series of calculations behind Zhongyong Ye's military leader.
But there is no regret medicine in this world for Steubin, even if his intestines are now green with regret.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? How could it become like this?" Prince Leiden was also patting the side of the battleship and looking at the East China Sea Fleet, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Before this, they had not realized that there was a problem in this naval battle from top to bottom.
Because they had been fighting guerrillas against the explorer fleet led by the Evernight Army.
At the end of the battle, the explorer fleet's cannonball supply was a little short, and the situation reversed. It turned into a rescue fleet led by Prince Leiden, who pursued and intercepted it, and rushed over with them.
From the beginning to the end, I have never seen the psychedelic white mist, so naturally I will not be prepared.
The confrontation between the two fleets was naturally carefully planned by the Yongye military leader.
It is enough to lead the two fleets into the waters where the identity of each other cannot be identified, making both sides mistakenly think that the other side is the fleet led by the Eternal Night Army and open fire.
It sounds simple.
It is very difficult to implement.
Not only must you grasp the opponent's pace, but you also need the opponent's cooperation in decision-making.
The former is much better. The leader of the Yongye Army can also actively encourage and adjust the opponent's pace through his best coordinated operations, so that they can go according to their own wishes.
In addition to human prompting, there is also a lot of luck in the latter.
If you think that Stubin thinks that the time to break out is not appropriate, or that this is another trap prepared by the Yong Ye army leader, he will stand still on the Donau River.
Or perhaps Prince Leiden did not cling to the Explorer fleet and chose to wait and see more steadily at sea, waiting to get in touch with Stubin before taking action, etc.
Either decision will lead to the failure of this trap.
But there are such things in the world.
Although the father and son of the East China Sea Kingdom did not read the script prepared by Commander Yong Ye, in terms of pace, they followed the script completely according to Commander Yong Ye's script, which was simply better than the acting.
If he had to do it all over again, Sean would have no confidence that he would be able to achieve the effect he had now.
Less than five nautical miles away from the battle between the two sides, the instigator Dragon Roar floated quietly at the mouth of the Donau River, with the Explorer fleet neatly arranged on the Donau River behind it.
They were just watching with cold eyes and had no intention of taking the initiative.
It's not that they don't want to take advantage of the opportunity to kill the drowned dog, but the number of artillery shells carried by the Explorer fleet is indeed very low. Although it is not as scarce as previously shown, it is not enough to support them in another naval battle. They always have to keep some to deal with surprises.
incident.
This is also the case with Dragon Roar.
Why wouldn't Sean want to maintain the existence of the psychedelic white mist until the two fleets of the East China Sea Kingdom are crippled?
However, this kind of large-scale mirage, especially the large-scale illusion that makes the opponent mistakenly think that they are seeing the Eternal Night Army's fleet, requires really terrifying magical energy.
