Transcendent Journey

Because of the moving speed of conventional sailing battleship.

It wasn’t until 9:12 in the morning that the ship’s more dexterous Alliance battle line seized the upper hand, opposing the wing on the left side of the Sirius Crescent Formation across the sea.

And with the advantage of its own shipboard artillery being more sophisticated (better airtightness and longer effective range), it took the lead in launching an artillery attack.

“Each artillery team prepares for three rounds of solid bullets!”

Each battleship gunner repeated the commander’s command and attacked each other in accordance with the traditional battlefield etiquette of the old continent. Hello.

Under the operation of skilled artillery, there are two types of heavy guns on the Tulip battleship that can inflict heavy blows on enemy ships: the 32-pound gun and the 24-pound gun. The rate of fire can reach 2 rounds per minute and 3 rounds per minute, respectively.

This is a speed that Sirius can’t match.

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! …

Suddenly, the fiery cannon flames connected to the fire sea, light azure The smoke of gunpowder filled the clouds, and even the entire area of ​​the ocean uttered an overwhelmed depressive groan.

While the Sirius soldier on the opposite side fought back without showing any weakness, at this distance, they saw the very uneasy head of Steel Knight clearly.

Steel Knight Kungang Taita is the deputy commander of the fleet, and almost no one in the Sirius fleet does not know him.

Seeing the head that was constantly swaying from the mast, most of the left wing of the Crescent Formation was in an uproar. The soldiers were hit harder than that round of rapid-fire shelling, and even the sound of the gunfire when they returned the fire was obviously messy.

The decisive battle is still in the warm-up phase. The deputy commander of the fleet has already lost his opponent. If he is still alive, it will be real. After the commander of the army Ricard and the commander of the navy Griffits, No . 3 Characters.

Sirius as the flagship Level 3 ship “San Juan”.

“Your Excellency Commander?”

The lieutenant couldn’t help asking the highest commander of the hair grey-white fleet next to him.

Rickard’s face is equally ugly, but not for the news of Steel Knight’s death, but because of his negative influence on the battle. Even as a royal party, the general’s words are ruthless: “Quengang, this bastard…why can’t you die a little further? Order, the San Juan departs and sails on its own? !”

“But…”

“Execute the order!”

In order to facilitate the command of the commander, “San Juan” has been The entire Crescent Formation composed of ten battleships patrolled back and forth along the route. If it is replaced by a large fleet composed of hundreds of battleships, it will generally be patrolled by several deputy commanders and commanders in the fleet respectively.

The Level 3 ship “San Juan”, serving as the commander’s seat, is the largest among the Level 3 battleships in the entire fleet, even more how it still has the flag of the fleet commander. , It can’t be more conspicuous.

However, after leaving the team for self-propulsion, he lost the cover of the fleet and was directly exposed in front of the alliance battle line.

In the history of naval battles in various countries, there has never been a precedent of a ship alone being surrounded by enemy forces but not being occupied by a ship. For the party with the dominant local battle strength, when the goal value is huge, the battle is the only way to ensure that the spoils of war are won intact.

Rickard believed that it would be weird if the Alliance forces could hold back their own decoy and not lean over.

When the time comes, as long as you can hook an enemy ship with a hook and pull it into the battle, you can independently support it until the reinforcements arrive. Finally, the enemy fleet was dragged into a melee, which is the “sea siege warfare” that Sirius is best at.

Then…the battle is over.

However, since they are both Neimansters, Innate’s endowments must be similar. Why are Sirius’s battle strength inherently expert?

In addition to the advanced training methods and management concepts, the most important reason is to search for resources around the world to support our troops. In the Knight trainee stage, the growth of physical fitness comes more from the intake of nutrients, supplemented by Knight’s Breathing Technique and sword technique cultivation.

With sufficient supply of resources, even if Sirius’s own population base is not dominant, the energy sources will also cultivate transcenders at all levels far exceeding the number of others.

In terms of soldier battle strength, there is indeed an overall gap between Tulip and Sirius.

Lieutenant General Elvis clearly understood Ricard’s plan. He was under heavy pressure in this war, and it was of course a great temptation for him to be able to destroy the enemy’s command system.

However, the current strength comparison between the two sides does not allow him to make a single mistake. The dominant Sirius can be more aggressive, and the alliance may be defeated as long as one negligence.

“The Maywind, Albatross, and Oak at the end of the team fought against each other, and the other ships kept in formation and continued to advance.”

He suppressed his desire for the sweet fruit , Did not encircle it, but separated a squadron from the battle line consisting of 33 battleships.

not aiming to achieve the best possible result but rather trying to avoid making mistakes!

In the astounded gaze of the Sirius people, the actions of the battleships in the battle line were like clouds and flowing water.

Every battleship knows what it should do at a certain moment, some turn to leave the team, and some automatically substitute. It seems that they have practiced countless times in advance of the extremely difficult battleship at sea.

“Navy command technology at this level…”

Lord Admiral Ricard has a pair of eyes slightly narrowed that seem to be old but sharp, even he has to be shocked The skill of the tulip.

These battleships are far more flexible than Sirius’ “city wall”, with excellent controllability, and an invisible command master to dispatch them calmly. Because he didn’t find any signal flags, horns, or anything else capable of command.

The three Level 4 ships did not move forward. They maintained a distance of about 300 meters along with the current, maintaining the wind direction and flexibility, and only fought this flagship with long-range artillery.

“Change the boats downwind, let’s stop it downwind!”

The “Maywind” at the top of this sub-queue did not allow it to switch course and blocked the “Holy Hu”. On the road to retreat.

Gehr and Elantra, who have put on the brigadier general’s uniform, are among them.

The remaining thirty battleships continued to move forward and fought fiercely with the left wing of the Crescent Formation.

The continuous artillery roars.

The other Level 3 ship in the Sirius fleet raised its command flag and temporarily took over the command.

The key to battle line tactics is to obey command and fight bravely. The key to success or failure lies in persistence. Whoever can’t stand to break away from the “chain” will lose the possibility of a comeback.

With the current attack power of artillery, this process may be time-consuming.

At the same time.

A group of sailors armed with rifled Kentucky rifles quietly climbed onto the mainmast of their respective battleship, and quietly aimed the front sight on the opposite side.

Kentucky style is characterized by a longer gun body, smaller caliber, lighter weight, and high precision. Although it also has shortcomings such as slow loading and high cost, it is a rare weapon in the hands of the right person.

Just like this group of divine archers who have been re-recruited after being trained in the wilderness of the new continent.

The extended distance may not be as good as the sniper musketeer, but when the battle line is blasting, you can put a cold gun. It does not require every bullet to destroy an enemy, as long as it can kill an enemy. The officer is making a lot of money.

The transcender can hide bullets according to the muzzle, but on the battlefield where the cannonballs fly horizontally, it is as if hit by an inadvertent stray bullet.

Bang——

The battle was completely opened.

Perhaps the outcome of this battle not only determines the position of Sirius and Tulip on the sea, but also determines the development trend of future naval battle equipment and tactics.

Whose route is more correct, you will know at a try.

……

Ten thousand cannons sounded together, as if the sea was about to be shattered.

“Spectacular!”

On the quasi-Legendary battleship “Cape Storm”, which is responsible for peripheral maneuvering operations, Ivan, Olivia and most of the officers are the first in their lives. See the offensive and defensive battles of battleship fleets of this level.

The tempering of tactics, command capabilities, equipment applications, etc. is even more difficult to describe.

The spirit net network built by the seagulls will faithfully record every bit of what happened on the battlefield, and will be used by Ivan to review and learn after the war, turning it into his most precious experience.

After seeing the “Maywind” join the siege of the “San Juan” sequence, Ivan said to Olivia next to him:

“Hesse, Pay attention to support!”

“Understand!”

Valiant and formidable looking female officers have set up “electromagnetic guns” on the tail tower, ready to support any corner of the battlefield, Gehr and Elantra have even higher priority than the commander.

At the same time.

hua hua Wow…

The “Longnose Mackerel” that once set the “Stormhorn” dove has dragged a long white line and rushed quickly come.

The battle belonging to the “horn of the storm” began.

……

The battlefield was in the northern part of the Gulf of Benin, Lagos, the largest port in Nigeria, the colony of Falitis.

Almost at the same time the battle started.

“Holy Grace of the Lord!”

“All things belong to the Lord!”

“Ula——”

A batch of batches The swarthy indigenous warriors rushed to the port in a small boat roaring. Obviously, this is the reason why the Kingdom of Dahomey, which has completely resembled Sirius, has not even appeared on the battlefield.

Almost all the main warships of the Alliance have been put into the battlefield, and only a few offshore cruisers stayed behind, which is basically impossible to block these dark natives.

This is Sirius’ scheming. No one said that the frontal fleet battle and the backbreaking battle cannot be carried out at the same time. No matter whether the alliance’s reconnaissance system finds an abnormality, it is impossible to withdraw from the battlefield and return to defending the home.

For Sirius, there is nothing that cannot be done in order to win.

Even if they were attacked by their extremely fearful alchemy artillery, it would not be the life of the Sirius that was lost anyway.

According to the intelligence of the Sirius people, the Dahomey specially replaced the landing ships with a large number of small offshore sampans in order to prevent them from being overwhelmed by alchemy artillery.

Sirius promised them that all the looting proceeds will go to Dahomey, even if the tulip looters become slaves, they will never interfere.

The painting of the pie is really good enough.

However, when they attacked the port as they wished, thinking that they would easily break the defensive empty city as they had captured other indigenous tribes in the past, they were ruthlessly hit by reality.

The face of the female commander of the Dahomey Kingdom vividly showed what is called colorful black:

“How come there are so many Union soldiers here?

Those Sirius people who love boasting, don’t you mean that the Tulip Army has suffered heavy losses now?”

The indigenous soldiers of the Dahomey Kingdom, who flooded the port city like a tide, bumped into a large number of queues. Strict alliance land army soldier.

Under the cover of gunfire from the harbor bastion.

Boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! …

A military-standard rifle far superior to the trade rifle. It can handle blazing flames, and the hot lead bullets are like steel dams that firmly block the black tide.

In a special period, even the governor of the colony, Sir Winston, came to the city head in person. He sighed slightly in relief when he saw the battle:

“I am a little grateful for the timely information and these After the young men are healed, they can still take up their weapons guard home and defend the country alive.”

The army commander next to him looked at the tide, which was darker than the coal rich in Nigeria, and came quietly. One sentence:

“Your Excellency, I’m even more grateful that the Anuma people didn’t hold back until night before launching a night attack…”

“Uh…you said Yes.”

According to the normal war damage ratio of wounded soldiers in this era, the casualties in the war with Sirius may indeed be large, but it is certainly not as exaggerated as the Sirius and Anuma people said.

In addition, the popularity of “divine medicine” in the entire southern continent colony has allowed many soldiers who were destined to die to survive again.

Before the start of the final battle, the alliance’s base camp had already begun to move towards the center of the whirlpool, the Gulf of Benin, and the wounded soldiers were no exception.

So, of course, the Dahomey commander would feel that the actual situation was seriously inconsistent with the Sirius intelligence. The damn Sirius simply pushed Dahomey off the Fire Pit.

Looking at his own soldier who was hit head-on, his heart was bleeding as the commander of the king’s concubine.

Ivan: Well, blame me?
