"The battleship Hero has left the fleet, the cruiser Bassenk has sunk, the destroyer Sitting has sunk, and the cruiser Mauser has been seriously damaged..." On the Cambridge dreadnought of the Conquest, the adjutant reported the fleet's losses to Origins.
With the support of the air force, Eiland Hill's fleet has performed quite well so far. After sinking hundreds of warships and a huge floating fortress, it only lost a few warships.
Compared with the losses of the Demon Fleet, the losses of the Airan Hill Fleet are now completely bearable. It is even better than the previous battles, and the results are more brilliant.
"The cruiser Kempes has just been hit by a magic cannon. About 100 people were killed and the battleship is sinking." At this time, another officer came over and reported what had just happened.
Genesis is quite satisfied with the current situation. The losses of his fleet are not huge, and they can completely block these demon warships in front of him.
As long as the naval battle in front of him continues like this, he will definitely be the victor in the end. Those demon fleets cannot land, and victory belongs to the Airanthil Navy.
At this time, the Demonic Castle floating in the sky, the tops of those towering buildings, and the huge magic cannon turrets began to rotate heavily and slowly. The floating castle entered its range, and at the same time, it also prepared
Preparation for shooting.
"Don't wait any longer! Fire immediately!" The demon general standing behind the crenellations of the city wall immediately gave the order to fire.
Following his order, all the magic cannons on the demonic castle sprayed dazzling beams of magical energy towards the main fleet where Lawns was located.
These magic cannons are more powerful than those on the demon battleship, and they look condescending, and they seem to be more accurate when shooting.
A shell directly hit the decelerated and injured dreadnought Hero, and then the central area of the battleship was melted by the hot magic energy shells fired from the magic cannon.
The deck was burned to coke, and the steel armor below the deck was burned and melted. Then the magic cannon shell penetrated the top armor of the Dreadnought Hero, penetrated the cabin below, and destroyed the boiler chimney pipe in the middle.
, and finally the boiler inside was broken down and scrapped.
The HMS Hero battleship did not explode. After all, as long as the ammunition compartment of a coal-burning battleship was not detonated, the possibility of being killed was much smaller.
However, just this blow had severely damaged the Hero. Although the amount of water ingress was not large, the battleship's hull had been severely damaged and deformed, and it had completely lost power.
A huge battleship with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons can only stop in place and take a beating after losing power. And this attack on the floating fortress is far from over.
Another magic cannonball fell and directly hit a cruiser, blowing the cruiser into two pieces.
However, the devil's good luck ended here: in the next round of attacks, all their ammunition was poured into the sea, without causing any damage.
The battleship Hero was slowly taking on water. Having lost its power, it had no choice but to leave the fleet and had to bear the pressure from the demon fleet alone.
"We must protect the Hero to get out of trouble! We can't abandon thousands of soldiers and leave them in the middle of the two armies to be beaten!" Lawns said painfully.
When he saw the battleship Hero losing power and slowing down again, he had a hunch that even if he won this naval battle, he would have to pay a heavy price.
Every sailor is trained and is a very important force. Thousands of sailors will be lost in this battle. For the Airanhill Navy, this is definitely a heavy loss.
"Commander! We have no way to rescue the Hero! We can only let them keep fighting until the end!" The adjutant choked up as he looked at the battleship Hero which was burning and emitting thick smoke.
Everyone knows that if you act impulsively and refuse to give up your companions at this time, you will lose more lives.
The navy is a branch that relies more on reason than emotion. Any decision is related to the life and death of thousands of people, and can determine the success or failure of a navy. Every commander must make rational decisions, otherwise he will be a sinner of the country.
But this time it's even more serious. If the Airanthil fleet is destroyed, it might become a sinner for the entire human race.
You know, the British Navy once sank three warships in one go in order to rescue its comrades who fell into the water. As the commander-in-chief of the navy, Lawns is also a veteran of naval warfare, so naturally he will not make such a mistake.
However, even so, he will still feel heartbroken and feel that those acquaintances who once fought alongside him were killed by the enemy in front of his eyes.
"Prepare to send a telegram... I will avenge them! I guarantee that none of these demons will survive!" Lawns clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and ordered fiercely.
He has made preparations. This time he must annihilate all these demon warships here, and not let any of them go.
The adjutant standing next to him did not move. He stared at the demon battleship in the distance with wide eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Just when everyone was despairing, the Demon Fleet changed their route. This sudden change gave Genesis and other commanders an inexplicable feeling.
It stands to reason that the devil should now divide the human fleet, and then attack the divided and weak fleet to gain greater initiative.
However, the Demon Fleet gave up those close results and gave up the opportunity to sink the battleship Hero.
They suddenly turned around when they were approaching Pilipi Island. It seemed that they wanted to land on Pilipi Island and cause trouble for the human coastal defense forces.
"Sir, sir... the devil, the devil's fleet seems to be turning!" Finally, the adjutant made sure that there was nothing wrong with his eyes, and then he pointed in the distance and shouted loudly in surprise.
"What did you say? Are you kidding me?" He picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of the demon fleet.
Then, immediately after, he saw those distant demon warships changing their routes. Obviously, the other party did not seem to intend to continue fighting with the main force of Eiland Hill's fleet, and actually turned...
"What are you doing? Leave it to me?" Lawns put down the telescope in his hand and just now was thinking about how to avenge the heroes on the Hero, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
This is not a question of whether a gentleman is a gentleman or not. This is simply the level of stupidity. He did not attack the injured battleship, but instead turned to land?
"Hurry up and figure it out for me! What are those devil bastards thinking? Are they despising our navy?" Lawns felt a little embarrassed, looked at his adjutant and asked.
In fact, we all have this feeling many times, that is, when being pursued by the opposite sex, we will have similar thoughts: it will be annoying when being chased, but if the other person suddenly gives up, it will feel very uncomfortable.
Those demon warships gave up the warships that continued to attack Ailan Hill, and turned to attack Pilipi Island. The huge fleet awkwardly turned around under the attack of the three Ailan Hill fleets, like an old man who had a stroke, trembling.
Walking down a street full of cars.
"What is this? What is this? Are they planning to attack Pili Pi Island with the firepower of our entire navy and under our attack?" Lawns confirmed again, dumbfounded.
"I think...that's the truth." The adjutant swallowed his saliva and looked at his commander before replying.
He also thought about other possibilities, but no matter how he considered the problem from the devil's perspective, he could not regard such a clumsy tactic as a temptation or some other act.
Facts have proved that if a fool makes a mistake, even ten smart people may not be able to guess the fool's true intention. Who would have thought that the devil general commanding this time is really crazy enough to fight a landing battle and a naval battle at the same time?
"Concentrate firepower! Attack the opponent's fleet! Order the destroyer fleet to maintain the battle line as much as possible. If the demons want to get close to Piripi Island, they must break through their defenses!" In the end, Lawns did not think of anything the demons could do to turn defeat into victory.
A killing move, so he immediately gave the order.
"Also, send a signal to the Victory! The fleet adjusts its course! Bite the main demon fleet and continue firing from the outside! Destroy the opponent's effective forces!" He continued the order with almost no pause.
On the bridge of the destroyer Anson, Captain Jason received an order from the battleship Conquest, the flagship of the main fleet.
He returned the document to the officer who conveyed the order without saying a word, and then looked at everyone around him: "Gentlemen, we have no torpedoes anymore. We can only rely on our own naval guns to block the enemy's warships."
Got it!"
"Behind us is Pilipi Island. The territory of the motherland cannot be trampled on! Let those demons die...or step on our corpses and go to Pilipi Island!" After he finished speaking, he grinned, with words written on his face.
Full of calmness.
His men also laughed together. Everyone seemed to have heard the news of the party, and they were very excited one by one: "Let those demons have a taste of our power! We don't just have torpedoes! Even with naval guns, we
We can also send those bastards to the bottom of the sea!"
"Let them come here!" Another officer said with a smile: "This is a good opportunity for us to take revenge on the West Din!"
Just when they were bravely preparing to fight to the last moment and die gloriously, another telegram was sent by the liaison officer.
Opening the telegram, Captain Jason laughed loudly. He gave the telegram to his men and saw that it read: "The Army just called. The original text is as follows: 'Let them come over, you can't take away all the credit, we still have
No shots were fired.' General Lawns' view is that the Army is right..."——
