Chapter 1224

Most of the No. 4 warships in Mulder's fleet were built in order to send the generals of the Michael knights to the clear water port of the Holy Hiran Empire during the "northern revolution" three years ago.

After the "northern revolution" operation, these No. 4 warships were piled up in the naval base.

No one expected that these transport ships, which were temporarily made three years ago, could be of such great use.

Such a large number of transport ships are more than enough to carry all the generals of the Michael Knights heading south.

If such a large number of transport ships had not been temporarily driven out three years ago, Su Cheng would not be able to use the ship's power so smoothly to send his troops to the South and East.

……

……

A total of 20 huge warships like hills sailed out of the ranks of the Royal Fleet of the Frankish Empire and went straight towards the vanguard of the British army.

The vanguard force of the Britannia army is 35 warships No. 2 specially used for side contact.

The man who commanded the 35 warships was the deputy commander of the Navy, Bryce short.

Su Cheng handed over the vanguard task of launching the first battle with the enemy to blitz.

Blitz's warship rushed ahead of the ships.

He himself stood at the bow of the ship, leaned the knight's sword on the ground, and looked at the Frankish vanguard troops closer and closer to them.

The reason why he let his warship rush to the front and stand in the bow of the warship was to boost morale and let the vanguard soldiers who followed him to fight the enemy clearly see his figure.

See him charging in front.

Blaise's painstaking efforts were not in vain.

The vanguard soldiers who followed blitz saw that their commander was so brave, and their morale soared.

The driver tried his best to drive the ship forward at a faster speed.

The soldiers who were responsible for using all kinds of equipment on the ship rubbed their hands one by one and couldn't wait to fight with the Franks.

Su Chengjun's vanguard force has 35 ships.

The vanguard of the Otto army had only 20 ships.

In terms of quantity, Su Chengjun's vanguard troops have a huge advantage.

Of course - just in terms of quantity.

If you come to the scene and see the difference in the size of warships between the two armies, you will blurt out in an instant: Otto army has an absolute advantage!

Because the ships of the vanguard forces of the Otto army are all their main warships as huge as a hill.

Even the No. 1 warship, the largest of the four ship types of the British Imperial Navy, is far smaller than the main warships of the Royal Fleet.

Even the largest warship No. 1 can't compare with the main warships of the Royal Fleet, let alone warship No. 2, which is one circle smaller than warship No. 1.

From the perspective of blitz and others, the Otto army vanguard forces pressing towards them are like a mountain.

When the two armies are still far away, the gap between them is not very obvious.

However, after the distance between the two armies was narrowed, the gap was instantly widened.

Looking at the "hills" one after another, the fighting spirit of the generals of Su Cheng's vanguard army, whose morale was still very strong, withered one after another.

Facing these "mountains" and pressing against them, the fear and oppression are no different from the heavy cavalry charging directly against the enemy on land.

Even Bryce couldn't help swallowing his saliva because of nervousness and fear when he saw the "mountains" pressing against them.

——Looking closer, it's really oppressive

Blaise whispered in his heart.

——I had never heard that the Frankish empire was studying new warships, nor had I heard that the Frankish empire was building such a large fleet.

——Are the research and development of new warships and the formation of fleets carried out secretly

——It should take a lot of time to study warships with such terrible pressure and build such a large fleet

——In order to defeat our britannian Empire, the Franks also spent a lot of effort.

Bryce is the vice admiral of the Navy. He has common sense about ships and water warfare. Naturally, he is much more professional than others.

Blaise knows exactly how time-consuming and laborious it is to study new warships and build fleets.

According to Blaise's estimation, the building time of the Royal Fleet of the Frankish Empire should be at least more than 10 years.

——Well, how long it took the fleet of the Frankish Empire to be successfully built has nothing to do with me.

——I'd better focus on what I should do.

After shaking his head vigorously and discarding these messy ideas in his mind, blitz picked up the knight's sword on the deck from the beginning, pulled out the sheath with a "miso" sound, and pointed the sword tip at the Otto army vanguard in front.

"Stone cannon, giant crossbow ready!"

Stone gun and Crossbow - one of the standard equipment of the Navy.

The so-called stone cannon is simply an improved catapult.

The use principle of the sophisticated catapult on the warship is not different from that of the catapult. People often call it "stone gun".

Giant crossbow - that is, the improved siege crossbow.

Stone cannon and crossbow are the only two long-range weapons of the Navy - as is the case with the armies of all countries.

In fact, blitz has been silently calculating the distance between the two armies.

After Otto's vanguard troops had entered their attack range, blitz immediately asked his generals to prepare for long-range attack.

In less than a minute, blitz received that all ships had completed the preparation for the use of stone guns and crossbows.

All the stone guns and crossbows of the Blitz army were aimed at the warships of the Frankish vanguard ahead.

Blaise held up his knight's sword and waved it down heavily.

"Launch!"

With the issuance of blitz's attack order, boulders and arrows smashed at the Frankish vanguard with amazing momentum and prestige.

Boom!

Hiss!

The roar of the boulder hitting the wood and the crisp dull sound of the giant arrow penetrating the wood one after another.

Due to the accuracy and the distance between the two armies, few boulders and crossbows successfully hit the ships of the Frankish army.

Of the 10 stones, only about 1 or 2 can hit the target.

However, because the britannian army fired a large number of boulders and crossbows at one go, the base number was large enough, so there were still a lot of boulders and crossbows that successfully hit the target.

Many Frankish warships were hit by boulders or crossbows.
