Chapter 481

Time flies by.

The next day, "Jingguan sea serpent" Pipi caught up with "storm horn" and dived underwater to accompany the warship under Elvin's command. It will become another unexpected card of "storm horn".

Of course, in the face of the silurians, it's better not to use it.

During this period, in the spiritual network, I also saw from a distance the "Red Maple", who also rushed to the north after the mission failed, and Griffith, the great knight on board, who was almost unable to hide his pale face.

Ivan hesitated again and again, for the sake of his life, and finally did not choose to take risks.

He never belittles a top knight. He may not be able to kill him when he is sick. In particular, Olivia, who used "broken star" for the first time, has no idea about the effect of witchcraft, and can't determine his true injury.

What's more, they already know that the alliance has unknown means of investigation.

In case Griffith pretends to do it and rushes up in a hurry, he may have to send himself a song "cool" instead.

"I'll let you off for a while, and I'll get it back with interest when it's time for the decisive battle. General Elvis should be interested in the life of the top knight, I just need to be responsible for the backstab

All the way north, the two quasi legendary warships joined their respective forces.

On the ninth day.

Because the plan to kill the "storm horn" was defeated, and failed to create a quasi legendary combat advantage, the game between the two sides was a draw. Hillius didn't find another opportunity to take advantage of it. After all, he let the reinforcements of the alliance enter smoothly.

Of course, the first power of sea power also has the pride of the first power, no longer entangled in intrigue and intrigue, but also assembled the fleet.

The battlefield was chosen in the largest Bay on the west coast of the southern continent, the bay of bening, which is also called "slave bay". In the north of this sea area, Nigeria, the colony of faletis, which was not affected by the war, and in the southeast, Lobito, where the headland of hiliusroanda is located.

Among them, there were many colonies, tribes and native states in the vast area of the southern continent, where the famous slave supplier dahomei kingdom was located.

Relying on the colonies and ports on the shore, both sides have relatively sufficient supplies of materials and ammunition. Even if the warships are damaged, they can quickly evacuate and enter the dock for repair, and then return to the battlefield.

As both sides stopped guerrilla warfare, the balance of power became clear.

Tulip side:

there are 23 reinforcement warships. At this time, even if the follow-up warships can continue to reinforce, they will not be able to catch up with the war. Among them, there are six cruise ships and supply ships, and 17 battleships above class IV.

With the withdrawal of Elijah, one of the pillars, and the sneak attack on the naval bases of the colonies, there are only 16 combat troops above level 4, plus the returning Geer and his "may wind".

After the confluence of the two sides, there were 33 battleships, plus a number of cruise ships for the fleet.

However, no one will count cruise ships as combat effectiveness, and mix a group of light cavalry with a group of heavy knights. Let alone fight together, the consequences are absolutely disastrous.

The commander of the fleet is still lieutenant general temple Elvis, who has the highest rank and the strongest strength of the alliance in the south.

On the side of hillius:

originally, there were 31 warships in the expeditionary force. Up to now, 10 of them have been captured or sunk, but the rest are mostly class III and class IV warships as tall as a castle.

With the naval fleet owned by the colonial garrison, the total number of battleships reached 40. Moreover, the proportion of class III ships is absolutely superior, even if the Alliance fleet is united, the disadvantage is very obvious.

In this sea battle, the commander in chief of the navy was still lieutenant general Griffith, while another lieutenant general Ricard was the commander in chief of the army.

In the battle launched by sea and land more than a month ago.

Under the command of the latter, the army won successive victories in the tulip colony, and even won the "Rand gold mine", which is much more eye-catching than the Navy under Griffith's command.

At this stage of the war, the deep hatred has been settled, and it is impossible to go back to the good state before the war.

At this time, even the Oracle may not be able to stop the war with 73 battleships and more than 30000 troops.

No matter which side, the significance of this battle is extraordinary!

In the early morning, the mist on the sea had not completely cleared.

However, the two fleets in the noisy sky are like giant white clouds with positive and negative charges respectively. As long as there is a collision, it will shake the southern continent and even the whole human world!

"Raise the flag of command!"

Hillius took the lead in the action, and the commander-in-chief of the army, lieutenant general Ricard, raised the flag representing the supreme command on his ship "San Juan".

The concept of battleship was first proposed by the hillius decades ago.

However, at present, although the main warships of all countries follow the example of hillius, they are called "battleships", but after decades of development and the influence of naval concepts, technical level, resource constraints and other factors, the performance and characteristics of battleships of all countries under the same name are not small.The ship building of hillius is as tall as a fortress, carrying the most elite army troops of this era.

Tulip side because of a more developed industrial system, artillery more sophisticated at the same time, warships are also more flexible.

Bang -

a bugle was fired from the fleet's flagship.

Worthy of the reputation of being the first in the world, the whole invincible fleet immediately formed according to the battle sequence, and each ship was full or closed, and adjusted according to the state of the nearby ships. In the shortest time, the famous "crescent formation" had been set up.

It has wings that point directly at the enemy and a thick central zone.

This formation is most conducive to the advantage of the Silurian warships with tall ship buildings, like blockhouses, because they... Are invincible!

From the rise of hillius two hundred years ago to the prestige of the Armada, it has always been the elite army soldiers that he really relied on. Although the army was their support, it also became their shackles to a certain extent.

A strong army must rely more on the army. In fact, the commander of the army has the highest authority on the warship. At the same time, the tactical choice must be tilted to the side to side warfare.

The crescent formation is daunting because the Alliance fleet can only attack its two wings. But there are waiting for the most powerful warships in the fleet, and if any of these warships are seriously damaged, they can easily return to the center of the fleet to get shelter.

On the other hand, if any alliance warship rushes rashly between the two corners, it will certainly encounter encirclement and be cut off from the rear by the powerful Silurian warships from the left or right.

At that time, they would fall into the inner circle of encirclement, and the flanking warship with the advantage of wind direction would easily catch them in the narrow waters.

"Armada! Defeat them head on

"Eternal fire to God, holy!"

"For your majesty!"

On the other side of them, the alliance is obviously under pressure.

This was the first large-scale decisive battle on the battle line, and the commander knew that he had to inspire the soldiers in the face of the fierce hillius.

The voice of lieutenant general Elvis, the top knight, resounded through the whole fleet:

"soldiers, like all the crew on the mainland, we could only follow the ships of the silurians to reach the furthest ocean in the world. Santa Cruz people seem to be able to travel freely in the most turbulent and treacherous waters in the world.

They are, of course, powerful.

But!

Now they want to trample on the tulip alliance and take away the wealth and minerals that we have been operating for 200 years!

...

if they are allowed to win here, they will come to the native land of the alliance in the future, rob our land and homeland, enslave our children, and destroy the faith of the goddess.

Now answer the hillius with your guns. Do you agree? "

"No --!"

The Admiral raised his command flag to mark the position of the commander in the fleet, and then gave the first order:

"fight for the wind on the battle line!"

Abandoning the backward command methods such as cannon and signal flag, all officers above captain in the fleet have been connected to the spiritual network.

Commander General Elvis has a God's perspective, can see every corner of the battlefield, the command can be transmitted to a certain combat module of a certain warship, it almost turns the fleet into its own hands and feet, such as arm commander.

This is a pleasure never experienced in decades of military career.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, who.

Tulip's "doctrine of naval operations" clearly sets the column as the standard formation for naval operations: "all warships of each sub fleet must try their best to keep in line with their sub captains...".

At the same time, the battle line of the alliance began to detour to gain the upper hand!

Most people have a wrong idea about sailboats. They think that sailboats are driven by the wind.

In fact, the biggest power source of sailboats is the so-called "Bernoulli effect", that is, when the air flows through a curved surface similar to a wing, it will produce a forward and upward attraction.

As a result, it is possible for the sailboat to advance against the wind at a certain angle.

When the ship is sailing along the wind, the Bernoulli effect disappears and the ship can not reach the maximum speed.

Therefore, warships usually don't use the positive and tail wind to navigate, and they usually have an angle with the wind direction. Now the sea surface is southwest wind, and the enemy ships are heading northward in the northeast direction, so the friendly fleet will reach their port side and parallel to it is the upwind level.

Hoo -

the battle line composed of 33 warships on the front line is leaning forward, facing the fierce "crescent formation" in the clear wind of the long day, and the leading warships on the battle line have raised many blue and black heads!

A blow to the morale of the hillius soldiers ahead of time."Kungang Tita, the steel knight, deputy commander of the navy of hillius, has been given the helm!"

"Kungang Tita, the steel knight, deputy commander of the navy of hillius, has been given the helm!"
