Bring the whole war back to Nanming

Chapter 170
This war that will determine the fate of the countries in East Asia did not start on the Yellow River. It kicked off in the East China Sea, thousands of miles away.

Governor Marshall of the Black Ark received Fang Xiaobai's order and did not directly search for the traces of the Chaos Fleet. Instead, he pulled all the Ming warships that could go to sea to join the elf warships that rushed over from Lushun, and then set off slowly.

As a senior governor, he knew very well how to find the enemy's traces, and he was not in a hurry. After two days of drifting in the East Sea, he finally spotted the Chaos Fleet sailing low-key in a sea area about [-] nautical miles northeast of Songjiang Mansion.

A huge fleet consisting of 35 artillery sail warships and [-] armored troop carriers is slowly heading to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

The Ming army is at a disadvantage in terms of quantity, and its quality is much better than that of the Chaos side. The number of magic cannons on a Black Ark pirate is the sum of the hell cannons on all Chaos warships, plus the eagle claw ballista of the elf battleship. Xu, those offshore "fishing boats" of Daming were automatically ignored, and were of no use other than acting as death squads to burn the Chaos warships.

The black ark and the three elf warships took the lead in forming a battle line. The thick magic gun barrel was adjusted and aimed at the distant chaos frigate, and the neat yellow-orange flames flashed past.

Perhaps it was because the distance was not very far, or perhaps the Black Ark pirates were skilled in operation. One-fifth of the fifty rounds hit two closely arranged Chaos warships. The huge energy dismembered one Chaos warship on the spot, and the other Chaos warship. It wasn't much better. Dozens of sailors died on the spot. A big hole was broken in the front of the outside of the hull. Water poured in crazily. The hull tilted in the general direction. It was obvious that it was impossible to fight.

Opening the door and beating the two warships, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and the ballista of the elf battleship also started firing, but compared with the terrifying black ark, the results of the battle were not so great.

Facing the fierce artillery fire of the black ark, they lined up in a battle line, and the hell cannons launched a fierce counterattack. I don’t know if the artillery produced by the Chaos Demon Realm has mutated. One of the three bombardment cannons must hit one, or the black ark would have been a floating ship. The island, I'm afraid it has been bombed and sank to the bottom of the sea, with no bones left.

Marshall, the Governor of the Black Ark, looked at the Chaos Fleet with contempt. In the Warhammer world, he often dealt with the Chaos Norscans because of the slave trade. The other party's naval combat strength was not strong, but the Chaos warships were fast and specially built for plundering coastal areas. , the pursuit and escape left him beyond reach.

Suddenly, three armored troop carriers broke away from the main fleet and galloped towards the black ark at the risk of being sunk.

Marshall, who was tasting the wine he snatched from the Dutchman, put down his tall glass and ordered loudly: "Keep a distance from the enemy troop carrier, turn the ten magic cannons around! Bombard the enemy's transport ship!"

It's ridiculous that Chaos wants to engage in a boarding battle!In what era are we still using such backward tactics?However, just in case, Marshall ordered the surrounding Ming army ships to send half of their manpower to the Black Ark to prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

The ten magic cannons redirected their targets and gave the Chaos fleet a chance to breathe. They took advantage of this opportunity. As expected, twelve warships and hundreds of them opened fire at the same time, bombarding the Black Ark indiscriminately. Caught off guard, hundreds of dark elves were bombed. Flesh and blood flew everywhere. They dragged their mutilated bodies and looked at the internal organs scattered everywhere. They tilted their heads and died on the spot.

The three magic cannons were also blown into parts and turned into a set of scrap iron. The sharp fragments splashed around, causing secondary damage, and the shells fell straight down and left deep craters.

The magic cannons on the black ark were broken, one was missing, and there were no craftsmen in the new world who could replenish new magic cannons. Marshall regarded them as treasures, and felt distressed for a long time when they bumped into them, and three of them disappeared at once. , as if digging out a piece of flesh from his heart.

"Strike back! Leave the troop carriers alone! Sink the frigates with all your might! Elven warships block the troop carriers! Leave me to knock them over if they come close to the ark!"

With red eyes, Marshall snarled loudly at the pirates on the ark.The dark elves didn't dare touch the boss' brows, and ran to the other side of the ship honestly, pushing the magic cannons that had no combat missions to one side of the gun position, fifty magic cannons were fired at once, and instantly swallowed the three chaotic battleships , Looking over there, apart from floating planks on the sea, there are no other living creatures.

The power of a round of volleys scared the commander of the Chaos fleet. In just half an hour, he had already lost five warships, while the Ming army did not suffer any damage.At this rate, in another three hours, he will have no soldiers left!

No, we have to change tactics!Through the binoculars, Marshall saw that the soldiers of the Chaos Banner were changing their semaphore. The Chaos warships that had been lined up in a straight line raised their sails, changed their formation, and outflanked the Ming army in an attempt to attack the Black Ark in all directions, exhausting it.

"All ships fight back and retreat! Don't let those puppies surround you!"

Realizing that something was wrong, Marshall made an immediate decision, gave up continuing the bombardment, and retreated quickly.

It's a pity that Chaos warships are known for their speed. As soon as the news was delivered to each captain, Chaos had already bitten two elven warships. Since the elf warships had previously been tasked with blocking the Chaos troop carrier, they were relatively close to the Chaos fleet and lacked reaction time. , was forced to fight while trying to open the distance.

Unfortunately, the elf battleship fired two rounds of ballistas and was hit by two chaotic warships, one left and one right, sandwiched in the middle.The pedals slammed heavily between the hulls, and countless Norscan marauders raised their hatchets, or hula-la boarded the elven battleship, or jumped onto the deck of the elven battleship through the side of the ship.

High elves who can become a navy are not very good people. The Lothern sea guards are in the vanguard, and the archers are in the back. They set up formations on both sides of the ship to launch the attack first.

As soon as the predators stepped on the deck, the precise feather arrows shot their chests and heads. The small round shields could not protect their whole bodies. From time to time, the predators screamed and fell into the sea.The Lothern Sea Guard took out his bow and arrows, approached them in a leisurely manner, and pushed back the predators who were trying to rush up.

The elf archers shot arrows from a high position on the upper deck at the rear, and the uniform rain of arrows shot down a large area of ​​enemy troops, forcing the enemy troops to hide behind various bunkers and dare not show up for a while, while the elves took the opportunity to send flags to the other two warships for rescue.

Although the high elves have been divided and reunited in history, they are relatively united to a certain extent, especially in the face of a genocide crisis.After receiving the signal, the other two elf battleships ignored Marshall's order, turned their bows and resolutely returned to help.The elf ballista's magic-enhanced light yellow arrows had explosive properties, and they slammed into the two chaotic battleships besieging their own ships.

A stationary target is the best target. A dozen crossbow arrows hit the waterline of the Chaos warship, making a loud noise, and the turbulent sea water poured into the hull. Most of the predators' attention was on the elf ship, and they just felt the ship The body shook for a while, but they didn't care. They didn't realize that something was wrong until the hull sank and tilted 10 minutes later.

The predators scrambled to leave their warships and poured into the elf deck. In a panic, they crowded each other and pushed many predators off the ship.The elf archer seized the opportunity and aimed a random arrow at the enemy on the pedal.

The way back was lost, and the predators seemed a little panicked at first, but after seeing the friendly warships passing by, they slowly calmed down, and the Chaos predators, who had the superior force, regrouped and attacked the elves' position again.

Most of the arrows in the Elf Arrow Pot were consumed before. Many elves touched the Arrow Pot and found that the arrows had been empty. The Elf Nobles on the battleship ordered all the Elves to take out their melee weapons and prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

The Tritons in the front row took out sea serpent spears and Lothern conical shields, and formed a human wall shield formation side by side. The archers in the rear drew out the slender swords on their waists, bent slightly, and stood quietly behind the Tritons. The Elf nobles The halberd in his hand stood at his side, expressionlessly looking at the swarming predators.

"The deck is not wide! There won't be too many enemies in one contact! Do your best to stabilize the defense line, and the compatriots are already on the way to rescue!"

The nobles of the elves cheered up their soldiers. Years of wars gave the elves the courage to face danger, and they would not be shaken by the number of enemy troops. "Strike out the spear!" Following the order, the Lothern Sea Guard stabbed out the sea serpent spear at the same time.There was a sound of a sharp weapon piercing the flesh, and the fastest row of predators looked in shock at the broken shield with only a handle left in their hands, and fell to the ground, spitting blood and dying.

"receive!"

Tritons pulled back the sea serpent spears inserted on the corpse one after another. Some people moved a little faster and set up their shields, just blocking the predator's axe, while those who reacted slower were hit by the ax on the arm or neck and other vulnerable parts on the spot. , was dragged into a pile of marauders and chopped into pieces.

"Kill them! Take out their hearts, livers, and lungs! Haha! Familiar breath!"

The predators were excited to kill, and they were immersed in the ecstasy of the fight. Their emotions were more like seeing a beautiful woman with excessive dopamine secretion or an addict's morbid state of taking drugs.

The elves clearly felt that the enemy's offensive was becoming more and more fierce, and the shield formation they formed gradually became unable to hold up.When a Norse champion predator quietly appeared on the left wing of the formation, the balance of victory and defeat was already tilted towards chaos.

The Norscan champion warrior suddenly launched an attack with 30 berserkers. He easily chopped down more than a dozen sea guards with battle axes and opened a gap. Although the elven archers blocked the gap in time, they only had one piece of soft armor and had low melee capabilities. How could the archers block the violent Norscan berserkers? The situation immediately became one-sided upon contact.

The exquisite elven longbow fell on the deck, and the elven archers fell unwillingly beside their beloved longbows. The pure white feathers on their foreheads were already soaked in blood, and their loose robes were allowed to be trampled by the enemy.

Seeing the tribesmen die one after another, the elf nobles are determined to kill the enemy and are unable to recover. They don't need to witness it with their own eyes. The battle situation on the other side of the battleship is probably not much better than their own. , overwhelmed.

In desperation, he gathered a few elves and retreated to the bow of the ship, shouting loudly in the language of elves: "Asur has no cowards who surrender!"

After shouting, he threw the halberd through the bodies of two Norscan marauders, and the rough-made battle ax hit his shoulder. The elf nobleman hugged the enemy's body and threw it into the sea with all his strength.

The surrounding high elves followed suit, and with the last sound of falling into the water, the resistance on the upper deck disappeared completely. Just as the Norscans were cheering, they didn't know that a bigger "surprise" was waiting for them.
