- Chapter 32 The Battle of Cape Watch (5)
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The Cape Watch Combined Fleet, which was approaching the Elantra fleet in front, was the first to attack. The machine crossbows and vehicle crossbows set up in the front quickly released their spears.
More than thirty scattered spears were flying towards the Elantra fleet.
The distance of three hundred meters was reached in a blink of an eye. The spear, which was already at the end of the storm, was inserted into the sturdy hulls and decks of Hailan, Hailan and other warships. The orientation of the hulls had been changed, and the Elant fleet with powerful firepower on the flanks immediately moved in order. Shoot spears and stone bullets at them.
Hailan, Hailan No. 1 to No. 13. From Fengyun No. 1 to Fengyun No. 24, more than 200 incendiary bombs and flame spears were fired densely at the chaotic vanguard of the combined fleet.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
In an instant, the three warships in the vanguard three hundred meters away were showered with intensive blows. The oil-contaminated shells burned quickly, and the canvas, masts, and all dry objects slowly burned.
"quick!"
"quick!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire."
"First install the flaming spear, we will fight to the death to capture one of their ships."
¡¡
The huge warships burned out plumes of smoke, and it was difficult to save the warships that were on fire from all directions during the war. The captain and sailors desperately released a small amount of incendiary bombs and flame spears to counterattack the Elante fleet.
At this time, the four-kilometer long crescent battle formation of the Elantra Fleet had shrunk to three kilometers. The vanguard of the Cape Watch Combined Fleet in the south had been blocked, and its power had dropped significantly. The more than ten Combined Fleet ships covering the flanks in the east had been hit by three attacks. The combined fire of Clipper and Kamikaze Express was twice as large as our own.
In less than half an hour, the combined fleet has lost more than a dozen ships, large and small.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
"Launch!"
"Launch!"
¡¡
At this time, the distance between the Hailan and the United Fleet on the southern battlefield has been shortened to more than 200 meters. The Elant archers standing on the deck were not afraid of the incoming ballistae and quickly fired long flaming arrows.
The combined fleet also took out bows, arrows and crossbows to fight back. On the originally calm ocean, there were huge shouts of killing, flames continued to flicker, and a tragic atmosphere spread across the ocean.
Three kilometers, two kilometers, the length of the huge crescent battle formation of the Elantra fleet is constantly shrinking. Longbows and trebuchets suitable for naval battles are constantly firing stone bombs, incendiary bombs, and incendiary arrows. Layers of Striker Brandt fleet.
The Brant Combined Fleet, which was ill-prepared for incendiary bombs, struggled to fight back, but the straight-line attack and penetrating attack of the ballistae could hardly kill the Elant soldiers on the deck and behind the sails of the hull.
And the curved projectile capabilities of the Elantra Fleet's longbows and catapults ruthlessly killed the United Fleet soldiers behind the deck railings.
In the slowly shrinking crescent battle formation, 9 out of 10 attacks by the Elantra warriors can hit the target, or the ships and personnel behind them. The ships of the combined fleet are blocked front and rear, and the attack area and attack direction are both hindered. Often only the second row of ships in the front can launch their own firepower, while the ships in the middle can only wait passively for the opportunity to launch.
The strength of the two sides is astonishingly widening. The Elantra fleet can fire 70% of the bows and trebuchets allocated to the ship in the direction of the crescent formation, while the effective firing rate of the Capewatch Combined Fleet's weapons accounts for 70%. Five percent of the population.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A huge bronze cannon sounded once, and Elantra's fleet launched its most powerful attack facing the Cape Watch Combined Fleet less than 50 meters ahead.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Three consecutive huge shells passed through a total of more than 7 medium and large ships, and penetrated into the small battleships at the rear of the battle formation unabated.

On the flagship of the combined fleet, General Makar and General Heifer instinctively grabbed the wooden planks of the cabin next to them, and a huge shaking sound sounded from the cabin.
The shells fired by the bronze cannons shot into the flagship of the combined fleet from two directions. Many balanced furniture in the cabin were penetrated on the sides and front. Stones fell from it. The unbalanced flagship tilted towards the flanks, and part of it tilted towards the flanks. Seawater is quickly entering through the leaks in the cabin.
"It's over! Our ship has been penetrated. The penetration of this weaponThe power is simply incredible! "Makar said in pain as he looked at the shaking ship in despair.
"General Heifer, let's retreat!"
"Retreat! Hey! I really can't give it in! Now our forward is less than thirty meters away from them, and we will soon be close to engage in close combat." Heifer looked at the slowly fluttering weapons on the Hailan flagship unwillingly. banner.
"General Heifer, our fleet has now been completely surrounded. More than 20 ships, large and small, have been damaged and sunk, accounting for one-third of the entire fleet. Under the threat of huge trebuchets, our soldiers and The officer has lost any fighting spirit."
"Now, even if we can get close to them for a close fight, can we win?"
"Let's go! Don't delay any longer. Before the ship sinks, we must keep it offshore. This will make it easier to salvage next time."
"Hey!" Heifer nodded painfully and said in an educated tone: "This time we failed, mainly because our weapons lagged behind the enemy. The crossbows and crossbows we prepared could only shoot in a straight line, while most of the weapons on the opposite side were used to throw stones. Cannons, this kind of projectile weapon. In this battle, no matter the battle position, weapons and equipment, or tactical timing, we completely lost to the opposing commander."
"Hey, let's go quickly! We still have coastal defense forces offshore. We order our rear warships to move toward the waters of Dolphin Bay, and the warships next to us to move toward the port. They must not block the firing range of the coastal defense forces." General Makar said. When he was about to lose, his head was still clear and he quickly issued orders to the guards.
The flag bearer quickly waved flags in the direction of the harbor and Dolphin Bay. The herald's message had not yet been fully conveyed to each sub-ship. At this time, they were frightened. The sailors and officers who were forced to fight desperately ordered the cabins. The sailor changed the direction of the boat, and a huge chaos was about to begin.
