244: Overwhelming Victory! Welcome to Hell!
Gui Xing negative, Tu Liwen, Hai Wuyan, Ash Zhuo, Turing Chen and others are all on their respective flagships.
When they saw Sauron's Queen's Island fleet for the first time, they were shocked.
Unexpectedly, Sauron took the initiative to go north to fight with only a hundred small ships and seven thousand rock bandits.
With one-tenth of the power, he dared to take the initiative to attack, this is really crazy.
Even if the Rock Pirates are good, one to two is great, and one to ten has no chance of winning at all.
But what followed was a burst of ecstasy. Originally, they were worried that Sauron would escape, but now it happened that they could fight hand-to-hand, catch the turtle in the urn, and completely resolve the battle within a few hours.
Tully Wen's flagship began to roar orders.
"Open the crossbow."
Then, the ships around conveyed the order to the surrounding ships one after another.
"Crunch, crunch..."
Immediately, the ships at the forefront pulled out their giant crossbows one after another.
This kind of giant crossbow can shoot a huge arrow weighing tens of catties nearly 400 meters away, and it can be regarded as a weapon of mass destruction on a ship.
Of course, the truly powerful lethal distance is only 200 meters.
The Rock Queen did not directly issue orders, but directly waved the semaphore on the flagship.
Immediately, all the hundreds of Queen's Island fleets adjusted their sails, and their speed faltered. Looking at the posture, they did not plan to move on, but paused in place.
The coalition fleet headed south at full speed.
This huge fleet of thousands of ships really looks like a huge lion tiger.
And Sauron's Queen's Island fleet really looks like a rabbit.
The distance between the two fleets is getting closer and closer.
five kilometers.
three kilometers.
one thousand meters.
Eight hundred meters!
at this time,
All the heavy hammer lever trebuchets on the Queen's Island fleet have all been prepared.
The fireball bombs in the throwing tray are also ready.
The distance between the two fleets is 600 meters.
Queen Yan Chuoer gave an order.
Immediately, the warriors behind each trebuchet ignited and ignited the fireballs in the throwing tray.
This fireball bomb, which weighed tens of kilograms, was wrapped in cloth strips to wash the pot. The cloth strips are all soaked in fish oil, and they will burn blazingly when lit.
However, the fish oil in the clay pot will not be ignited. When it is thrown out and hits the enemy ship, the pot will explode, and the fish oil inside will splash everywhere, and it will be ignited instantly, which is almost difficult to extinguish.
Of course, crude oil can also be contained in this clay pot. But in that case, the real top-secret weapon might be exposed, so Sauron used fish oil instead, even though in this way, the cost of each kerosene bomb was more than a hundred times higher.
"emission……"
Queen Yan Chuoer gave an order suddenly.
Immediately, the warrior behind the catapult slammed it violently, releasing the tight confinement of the catapult.
The heavy hammer slid, generating an incomparably huge kinetic energy, and then used a long lever to ruthlessly throw the kerosene bomb weighing hundreds of catties out.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
More than a hundred trebuchets were all launched. Many rock pirates felt that the ship under their feet shook suddenly, as if it was about to capsize.
A hundred flaming kerosene bombs streaked through the air with thick smoke and flames, like meteors, and flew fiercely towards the Extinguisher Fleet, making a piercing whistling sound in the air.
Seeing this scene, Tuli Wen, Gui Xing and others on the Miesuo Fleet were shocked.
What, what kind of weapon is this that can be thrown so...so far?
Four or five hundred meters away?
Of course, this distance is not uncommon, and many forced crossbows can reach it.
However, the end of the crossbow can't wear paper.
And the lethality of these dozens of hundreds of catties falling from a high altitude is completely incomparably huge.
"Bang bang bang..."
Hundreds of flaming fireballs flew four or five hundred meters away, then fell ferociously into...the sea.
That's right, it's the hit rate of this tragedy.
Of the more than one hundred fireball bombs, only three hit.
Moreover, this has absolutely something to do with the fact that the Extermination Fleet is too dense, otherwise the hit rate would be less than 1%.
The hit rate was exactly as Sauron had imagined.
but……
With just three hits, the effect is amazing.
These tens of hundreds of catties of fireball bombs slammed on the ship, and the clay pot wrapped in cloth strips exploded suddenly, and the fish oil inside was sprayed away, and burned blazingly after encountering the fire.
This fire covered more than ten square meters, and it was extremely difficult to extinguish.
"It's fish oil." City Lord Tuli Wen could tell the difference when he smelled the thick smoke.
"Fish oil?" Tu Lingchen sneered and said, "Sauron is really rich, and he is really willing to spend his money."
Fish oil is made from live fish, and the price of a catty of fish oil is around forty copper coins. In other words, the cost of this kerosene bomb and fish oil requires more than a dozen silver coins, one third of gold coins, and more than 4,000 yuan per dollar converted into earth yuan.
There is no way, the level of productivity in this world is too low, no matter candles, tung oil, or fish oil are all very expensive.
Sauron's first round of attack destroyed dozens of gold coins.
Hai Wuyan sniffed the air and said, "Fish oil bomb, this Sauron is really rich."
...
In the first round of firing, only three kerosene bombs hit.
Then, a dozen or twenty rock bandits desperately pulled the lever of the trebuchet, preparing for the second round of launch.
At the same time, the Rock Queen ordered the sails to change direction.
Originally, they had been heading north, but later stagnated. At this time, they ordered to go south.
"call……"
Immediately, a fleet of 100 rock bandits headed south with the wind.
The ships of Rock Island have a characteristic, that is, they are small and fast!
Two quarters of an hour later, the distance between the two fleets was once again separated by more than a thousand meters.
The second round of launching of more than one hundred trebuchets has also been prepared.
The Queen of Rock ordered that the fleet change its sails again, stop paddling, and stop halfway, waiting for the approach of the Mie Suo fleet.
Approach, 800 meters, 600 meters, 500 meters, 400 meters...
"emission……"
"emission……"
Both parties ordered together!
"Whoosh whoosh..."
From the Extinguisher Fleet, hundreds of giant crossbows flew out.
From Sauron's fleet, a hundred trebuchets were launched in order.
"Hoo hoo hoo..."
More than a hundred fireballs, drawing gorgeous trajectories, roared and smashed towards the Extinguisher Fleet.
And hundreds of huge arrows roared and shot towards Sauron's fleet.
After a few seconds.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Bang bang bang bang..."
Sauron's second round of kerosene bombs fired more than a hundred rounds, and hit... four rounds!
"Boom boom boom..." Another four ships of the Extinguishing Fleet were blazing, and dozens of soldiers were buried in the sea of flames.
The surrounding sailors poured water desperately to put out the fire.
It seems that there is progress, but everything is accidental.
But the giant crossbow of the Mie Suo Fleet had a higher hit rate, and a dozen giant arrows hit Sauron's ship.
but……
Launching at a distance of 400 meters, it is definitely the end of the crossbow. Even if it hits, it is just a bump, and there is almost no damage.
Seeing this scene, Sauron had only one feeling in his heart.
No wonder the water battles in this era are basically after the ships of the two sides approach each other, they first shoot each other with bows and arrows, and then board the ships to fight.
Because of this kind of long-distance fighting, whether it is a trebuchet or a giant crossbow, the hit rate is too pathetic.
Thinking about this kind of naval battle, as long as there is enough ammunition, it can really last until next year.
...
Next, the naval battle became a stalemate.
The tactics of Sauron's fleet are very simple. They take advantage of their own speed, move away immediately after launching, distance themselves from the enemy fleet, and then prepare for the second round of launching.
This is completely a hooligan style of play, never approaching the opponent's fleet within two or three hundred meters.
The only difference is that although the kerosene bombs thrown by Sauron have a wonderful hit rate, once they hit, they will bring huge damage to the enemy ship.
As for the giant crossbow of the Mie Suo Fleet, although the hit rate was higher, it was almost useless at a distance of 400 meters.
Therefore, the behemoth of the coalition fleet fell into the point of being completely passive.
There is only one reason, Sauron's rock bandit fleet is faster and can distance itself at will.
So, the next two fleets fought from dawn to dark, and then until dawn.
Fight for a day and a night.
Sauron's rock bandit fleet fired a full hundred rounds, shooting out more than 10,000 kerosene bombs.
The coalition fleet also fired a hundred rounds, firing tens of thousands of giant arrows.
The hit rate of Sauron's kerosene bombs has never exceeded 4%. After a day and a night, only three or four hundred kerosene bombs hit the Extinguisher fleet.
The result of the battle was to kill more than a thousand opponents' sailors.
Sink the opponent's ships, five ships, and damage dozens of ships.
But Sauron's fleet lost even less, with not a single warship sunk, and less than a hundred casualties.
However, the trebuchet has been broken for several rounds, and the expensive leather rope on it has been replaced several times.
And even so, nearly ten trebuchets were damaged beyond repair.
The casualties of the Miesuo coalition forces were actually very small, but during this day and night, they were completely suppressed and beaten by the Soxhlet fleet.
The leaders of the four families were almost furious, scolding Sauron for being too despicable.
Otherwise, within an hour at most, the 70,000 Suo Sui army could completely annihilate Sauron's Rock Pirate fleet, killing not a single one left.
...
The two fleets fought from dark to dawn, and from dawn to dark.
Another day and night battle.
So far, Sauron has sunk six ships of the local fleet, damaged hundreds of ships, and killed nearly 3,000 people in the opposing navy.
The loss of Sauron's fleet is still very small.
Because, he is still a despicable way of fighting, and he will never get close to the enemy fleet. With an interval of 400 meters, the powerful crossbows of the Miesuo coalition forces could not cause fatal damage at all.
However, the bad news is that more than 20% of his more than 100 trebuchets have been damaged.
...
Another day and night passed.
Another day and night passed.
Although it is taking turns to rest and take turns to fight.
However, the fleets of both sides were completely exhausted.
In the next two days, Sauron's fleet still suppressed their opponents, but the results were even more negligible.
For four days and four nights, only ten ships of the coalition fleet were sunk, and the navy casualties were only more than 5,000 people.
The casualties of Sauron's fleet are still negligible.
but……
The damage rate of the trebuchet has exceeded half.
Moreover, the kerosene bombs are almost exhausted.
During the war of these days and nights, they sailed south while fighting, covering more than two thousand miles.
At this time, they have reached the waters of Chaos Island.
However, Sauron's rock bandit fleet continued south without stopping.
"City Lord Tuli Wen, the rocky island salt field is ahead, and Sauron's fleet has not stopped at all." A navy general reported.
Tu Liwen ordered a ship to sail close to the rocky island to investigate the situation.
The results reported that the entire rocky island salt field was empty, and there was not a single ship on the sea, so Sauron completely abandoned the rocky island salt field.
"City Lord, do you want to send troops to occupy the rock salt field?" A navy general asked.
"What's the hurry? This chaotic rock salt field doesn't have long legs, so it won't run." Tuli Wen said.
"Earl Tully, Sauron's fleet is about to flee, and they have run out of kerosene bombs," Turing Chen said.
Earl Tully looked up and saw that Sauron's fleet had been heading south without stopping to fire oil bombs.
"Follow at full speed!" Earl Tully Wen ordered.
Immediately, the thousand ships of Miesuo, with full sails, headed south at full speed in pursuit.
"Sauron can't escape." Turing Chen said.
Earl Tully Wen nodded.
In the past few days and nights, it seemed that Sauron had the upper hand, but his fate of destruction was already doomed.
That's right, Sauron's fleet is very fast because of its small size, but the fresh water and food on board are limited, and there is no supply fleet behind, so how many days can he last?
Running out of ammunition and food?
Sauron's fleet is dead on the sea, and once he chooses to land, he is even more courting death.
In short, the thousands of ships of the Extinguishing Fleet just kept on Sauron. Waiting for him to run out of ammunition and food, or waiting for him to land.
Either way, it's a dead end.
Next, both fleets stopped attacking.
Sauron desperately fled southward, destroying the fleet of the Sauron Alliance Army, and desperately pursued it.
...
sunset time!
Sauron's fleet entered the waters of Tianshui City, more than a hundred miles away from Devil's Harbor.
Here is the burial place Sauron set up for his enemies.
And the Mie Suo Fleet is only attached to the back, and the distance is no more than a hundred miles!
Sauron looked at the Rock Queen and said, "Auntie, it's time to lead them into hell. Do you think they will follow?"
"It will." Yan Chuoer said.
In the past few days and nights, the coalition fleet was crushed and beaten by Sauron, and they were completely out of breath. They wished they could have their skin cramped, and they would definitely not let him escape.
Moreover, the place where the Miesuo coalition forces landed was also chosen in Devil's Harbor, which is almost the only place suitable for large-scale landings.
As night fell, darkness swallowed everything.
Sauron's eyes flashed with a demon-like light, and he said coldly, "Enter the Devil's Harbor."
At the same time, hundreds of cargo ships were moored in Devil's Bay. There are nearly 100,000 barrels of crude oil on board, which is tens of millions of catties.
This batch of astronomical amounts of crude oil can completely turn this bay into a burning hell and completely swallow the entire Extinction Fleet!
At that time, hundreds of miles of sea will be burning.
Four coalition fleets, thousands of ships, there is no escape!
In an eerie silence Sauron's rock bandits sailed into Devil's Bay.
Tens of thousands of meters behind, the coalition fleet is mighty, overwhelming, chasing after it.
Thousands of ships and hundreds of thousands of troops are gradually sailing into hell!
