107 It's time for them to go around

On the sea in the south, a fleet was advancing through the wind and waves, with white sails hanging on the tall masts, and bright green flags fluttering in the wind.

These warships are decorated with carved decorations, and the patterns on them describe various myths and legends. Each warship is filled with fully armed soldiers. Opposite this fleet, three warships that do not look powerful are scattering.

On the largest battleship, a commander was looking straight ahead with a monocular telescope. He put down the telescope and said to his first mate: "Continue to advance at full speed, surround them before they escape, and destroy them!"

It seemed that the other party did not want to fight, and they planned to disperse and escape. This was the initial judgment of Jacob, the admiral of the Arantian Empire.

The ship he was on was the Infinity, the flagship of the Arantine Empire's naval fleet. It was named after the Endless Sea. It is said that when this warship was launched, they wanted to name it the Invincible, which is enough to prove that this warship is in Asia.

Rand's position in the Imperial Navy.

This battleship is huge in size and is equipped with 4 ballistae that can rotate. Most battleships can only be equipped with three such catapults, but the original battleship in Dukou City was only equipped with two catapults.

.

It can be said that it is the most powerful warship in the Arant Navy. If you include the hundreds of soldiers on board, the combat effectiveness of this warship is quite amazing. But opposite this huge sailing ship,

Dispersing boats.

General Jacob's first mate glanced at the huge fleet around him, smiled softly and said: "General, don't worry, the opponents are only three small ships, and they are dispersing. They want to run away at first sight. It is impossible.

They are our opponents!"

"The wind is in our favor!" the soldiers on the ship loudly reported.

"Go ahead at full speed! Tighten up the formation. What is the opponent trying to do by approaching us against the wind? Before we figure it out, be careful!" Feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and with a trace of vigilance in his heart, General Jacob ordered.

At first, he thought that the opponent's warships separated to disperse and escape, but the opponent's speed against the wind was still very fast, and they obviously wanted to get closer. The three warships actually looked like they were going to surround his fleet.

It's a bit creepy.

Even if the opponent's commander was more powerful, he shouldn't have issued such a weird order, right? Facing dozens of warships, he actually ordered three warships to fight and surround the opponent? It's strange that someone is willing to carry out this order.

In his surprised eyes, the opponent's warship had already cut into the periphery of his warship, and then began to adjust its course in a very strange position. Finally, the three warships all aimed their broadsides at the fleet of the Arant Empire, and then

All the gun windows on the ship were opened.

"What are you doing?" Looking at the opponent's warships, General Jacob frowned and looked nervously at the enemy ships on the sea, murmuring.

At the same time, on the flagship of the Irish naval fleet flying the black golden eagle flag, Lawns pressed his command knife and gave the order to prepare for the attack: "Load the shells! Prepare to fire!"

A petty officer walked to the side of Lawns and reported to him: "Report to the general, our fleet has dispersed, and the flag of the No. 3 ship is asking for instructions if it can launch an attack! In addition, our ship is currently in the north and heading southwest.

, the wind direction is favorable to the enemy."

He once again picked up the telescope and looked at the warships of the Arant Empire in the distance. Lawns snorted coldly and ordered: "Fire when you are ready. Don't wait for my order! Don't let anyone go."

A battleship! Do you understand?"

"Yes!" The noncommissioned officer stood at attention and saluted an old-fashioned military salute, and reported with his right hand clenched on his chest. When they left Ferry City, the military salute had not been changed. Now, Eiland Hill has been turned upside down, but they have not changed themselves yet.

etiquette.

"Let's go to war." After all the cannons were loaded, Lawns ordered with a grin.

"Hahaha!" the first mates laughed, their contemptuous expressions seeming to say that the enemy navy opposite them was just a few fishing boats.

A shocking loud noise pierced the sky, and the flames ejected from the flat-fire cannon of the Airan Hill Navy startled everyone on the opposite ship. Jacob, the admiral of the Arantian Empire who was standing in the command position, almost fell.

Sitting on the deck, it was the first time he heard such a strange sound.

What was even more devastating was that there were explosions on the sea surface next to him, and white water columns were connected one after another, which was higher than the sails on the ship. The huge destructive power was clear at a glance, and Jacob couldn't help but swallow it.

A mouthful of spit...

Finally, such an explosion spread to the battleships of the Arant Empire. The "Marica" ​​battleship was hit by a shell, and a large hole was made in the hull. Then the explosion blew off one side of the entire battleship.

in the air.

The huge destructive force caused all the originally strong wooden boards to shatter. Even the strong keel was as fragile as tofu. The mast on the battleship broke instantly, and the sail collapsed with a creaking sound.

, smashed onto the deck full of flesh and blood.

The disaster has just begun. Slight white smoke and dazzling firelights are constantly spitting out from the gun windows on the side of the boat on the opposite side. Then every not long time, the navy of Eiland Hill launches such strange attacks.

Let the battleships of the Arant Empire end in destruction.

With every attack, a warship fell apart and disintegrated on the battlefield. This kind of battle could not be called a battle at all. The situation was simply one-sided. Ships continued to explode and catch fire, and soldiers were constantly wounded and wailing. After a while,

, the outermost warships of the entire fleet began to sink.

"Quick! Turn quickly! Retreat! Retreat!" In desperation, General Jacob screamed hysterically. His fleet was being destroyed in front of his eyes, and he had to do something now to save his poor men.

Just as he was shouting, another round of artillery fire struck, and a friendly warship blocking the front of his warship exploded. The wood broke and scattered debris splashed onto the Infinity warship he was on.

The debris hit where General Jacob was standing, and he was unaware of the injury to his arm. Because he finally figured out the reason why the other party dispersed: the commander of the Airanhill Navy did not intend to escape,

But he really plans to annihilate his fleet!

And what about poor him? His fleet was passively beaten without any way to fight back. Just now, a warship tried to escape from his fleet, but due to its speed, it was broken into pieces by cannonballs before it could break out.

The encirclement has been formed, and none of the surrounded ships can escape. The three Ailan Hill warships are like millstones, spinning round and round until all the enemies in the encirclement are destroyed.

Until all the ships are sunk...

"Cover each other to break out! We can't sit still and wait for death! Let Infinity and Ocean take the lead!" Jacob has almost seen the end of his fleet. He has no intention of fighting anymore and only thinks about breaking out and escaping.

.

It's a pity that the battleship of Eiland Hill didn't give him any chance. On the opposite battleship, the broadside fired another salvo, and dense shells flew around the Infinity. One shell interrupted the Infinity's

mast, and another shell exploded directly near the waterline, opening a huge hole in the Infinity.

Sea water poured into the cabin, and the sound of the keel breaking was horrifying. General Jacob, who fell due to the violent vibration, managed to stand up by holding on to the railing of the ship. He looked around at the bloody soldiers, and saw his adjutant broken into pieces.

The two pieces fell at his feet.

He could feel that the battleship under his feet was tilting rapidly, and his ears were filled with buzzing sounds, but there were no shouts from his men at all. He saw the ballistae collapsing the deck and breaking, and he also felt the fear of death.

Is this the navy of Eiland Hill? He squinted his eyes and looked at the black golden eagle flag fluttering on the AI ​​Land Hill battleship ramming on the sea in the distance in the smoke. General Jacob felt unwilling to accept it.

Naval battles are not like this! He has been floating on the sea all his life and has never seen such a battle! He really wanted to shout to the battleship on the opposite side, if he could fight a familiar naval battle with me!

Unfortunately, the opponent's warships obviously would not listen to his cry. Those black muzzles were still spitting out deadly flames, and the warships of the Arant Empire were still broken and silent in the gunfire. There were pieces of wood floating everywhere on the sea.

There are also sails that fell into the water.

The huge green flag of the Arant Empire slowly fell in the flames, blocking Jacob's sight. Another round of artillery shells hit, and the Infinity battleship that stubbornly persisted on the sea finally capsized in the flames of war.

This naval battle ended completely after three hours. The Arantian Empire's naval fleet was completely annihilated, and not a single one of the more than 30 warships was spared. The Airanthil Navy, which sank these warships, was victorious.

They flew away in song, leaving their own legend behind.

The powerful Arantian Imperial Navy was like a piece of fat on a chopping board, and the entire fleet did not even organize a decent counterattack during the five-hour naval battle. They did not even have time to raise the white flag before they were attacked by Genesis.

Shen.

"I think our fleet can stay close to the coastline." The adjutant stood on the deck, looking at the shipwrecks floating on the sea, and suggested with the joy of victory.

"Yeah, from now on, we don't have to go around the naval battleships of the Arant Empire." Lawns pressed the command knife, seeming to reminisce about the battle just now: "It's their turn to go around."
