Chapter 1085 Battle of the Three Armies
The rockets fell and were nailed to the shield and the scorpion. More than a dozen Jinfan thieves were shot and killed by the rockets.
The vanguard fleet led by Drake, the master of navigation, took the lead in attacking Gan Ning's Jinfan bandit fleet, firing rockets and volleys of firecrackers!
The warship at the front was shot into a sieve, the rocket ignited the warship, and the warship burned blazingly, and the warships behind could already see the flames appearing in front.
Lu Meng ordered people to wave the torch and pass information to the rear layer by layer.
Zheng He, the commander of the ancient Huaxia-Ancient Persian fleet, immediately mobilized the entire fleet.
With 2,300 warships, even Zheng He's 97-point commander cannot give all the warships a bonus.
In fact, the 2,300 warships were divided into several fleets, led by Zheng He, Zhou Yu, Chen Lin, Lu Meng, and two Persian generals.
Zheng He, who is also a navigator like Drake, served as the coach and gave orders to the various fleets.
It's a duel between East and West sea masters.
Zheng He sailed to the west, and Drake sailed around the world. Both of them have high bonuses to the speed of the fleet, and the tip of the needle is right!
Not only look at the two coaches, but also look at the generals, warships, and soldiers.
Artemisia, the fleet commander of the Persian Empire, said to Ardashir: "Your Majesty, the vanguard fleet of the Han army encountered a strong enemy, so we sent a fleet to attack from the right."
"Artemisia, you have full command of all warships, and helping the fleet of the Han Empire is also for us to reach the main island smoothly."
Artemisia is a vassal of King Xerxes of the First Persian Empire and a rare female naval hero.
Ardashir knew that it might be difficult to break through the monopoly of the three major marine civilizations only by relying on the fleet of the Persian Empire. At this time, he could only cooperate with the fleet of the Han Empire to open the passage to the main island.
Artemisia stood on a huge Calaisian warship, holding a Persian sword in her hand. Hundreds of sailors paddled and led two hundred warships to make a detour from the right side.
The sea fog obscured the sight of many captains, and the three fleets broke out in a sea battle in the waters near the main island!
The Persian rowing boat was struggling to advance due to the waves, and the ram at the bottom of the water hit the English sailing warship. With the violent impact, the sailing warship was broken.
Sea water poured into the cabin!
"Battle on board!"
The English sailors and the Persians broke out in a tragic side-to-side hand-to-hand battle. Tens of thousands of bows and crossbows fired at each other, and a dense rain of arrows shot at each other! !
The sudden appearance of the Persian fleet from the sea fog surprised the English.
Drake originally thought that there was only one eastern fleet, but beside Chutian's fleet, there was also a Persian fleet.
The raid of the Persian fleet caused damage to several English sailing warships, and they had to fight with the Persian warriors who climbed up.
"Hawkins, you go deal with the Persians!"
Drake ditched the smaller "Golden Hart" for the larger galleon "Elizabeth".
Another admiral, Hawkins, took the "Mary Rose" as his flagship to meet the Persian fleet.
When the English reacted, they dispersed the Persian fleet with the help of the tall Clark warship. The English longbowmen and musketeers on the warship fired a salvo, and the Persian soldiers on the top deck were shot and dead, and their bodies were everywhere.
The holy meteor cavalry and the undead army were far inferior to the English longbowmen and gunmen in naval battles, and they were ruthlessly harvested.
Black Prince Edward stood on the deck of the "God Bless the King Henry", pointed his long sword at the Persian warship, and the English longbowmen released fire arrows, weaving fire meteors in the air, and igniting a trireme warship!
Black smoke billowed, and the burning Persian soldiers fell into the sea!
"On board!"
The Persian female commander Artemisia gritted her teeth, commanded the Calaisian warship and the triremed warship to ram the English galleon, and then approached the ship for close combat.
The bonus of Persian units in naval battles is not as good as that of English units. The characteristic of English civilization is naval battles, which occupy the advantage of terrain and have already wiped out several lords. The Persians can only use the most primitive way to turn naval battles into infantry battles through boarding battles!
The Calaisian warship approached the Clarke warship "God Bless the King Henry", the two warships collided, and the soldiers on both sides shook. Artemisia and a group of Persian soldiers swung their flying claws and hooked the "God Bless the King Henry" The side of the ship, trying to occupy this tall Clark warship.
Edward the Black Prince drew his long sword and led a hundred Knights of the Round Table to fight the Persians who boarded the ship.
The Knights of the Round Table, as a ninth-tier unit, has amazing combat power. The Persian soldiers of Artemisia were beheaded by the Knights of the Round Table. Edward and Artemisia had a fierce battle, and the two long swords collided with sparks!
Artemisia gritted her teeth. The black prince Edward's force was obviously not low, and he was one of the best generals under the command of King Charles of England.
"Surrender to me and serve as my servant."
Edward the Black Prince shook his long sword and approached Artemisia, and the Persian soldiers who climbed up from the Calaisian warship were almost slaughtered by the Knights of the Round Table.
"Don't think about it!"
Artemisia returned her sword and killed a Knight of the Round Table. The flames were raging all around, the warship was broken, and broken planks were floating on the sea.
More than 100,000 sailors fought fiercely!
On the other side, Zheng He and Drake, two master navigators, clashed, and warships poured arrows, arrows, lead bullets, and stone bullets at each other!
The two fleets, which did not have long-range guns on board, used primitive firearms of the bowl-mouthed blunderbuss level, catapults, crossbows, and individual blunderbusses as long-range weapons.
Chen Lin's Qiqian Lingnan navy was equipped with firecrackers, maneuvered dozens of warships, and kept shooting England's galleons.
The English longbowmen fought back vigorously, and the musketeers fired a volley!
Chutian was located in the middle army, countless warships were mobilized, flames flickered, black smoke billowed, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky and the earth, so they could only wait for the result.
"It turned out to be the Royal Fleet of the English..."
Chu Tian had a headache.
Fighting the English on the sea is equivalent to fighting the Arabs in the desert. If you want to win, you need to pay a lot of money.
Thousands of warships have become a mess.
When Chu Tian was deeply troubled, Charles, the Lord of England, was also in trouble.
Originally, Charlie only wanted to defeat the Eastern Lord's fleet head-on and gain tens of thousands of military exploits. However, his Royal Fleet fought two Eastern Lords. At this time, it was not so easy for the Royal Fleet to retreat, and the three armies were already inseparable.
Charlie can only bite the bullet and fight until the winner is decided.
"Let Drake use fire to attack the ship."
As the lord of Drake, Charlie knew that Drake had a fire attack bonus, so it was hard to tell the winner, so he used the captured Siamese warships to launch a fire attack on the fleet of the Han Empire.
At the same time, Zhou Yu also prepared 300 fire boats.
The generals of the two fleets almost thought of the same thing, and a large number of fireships attacked each other, turning the entire sea area into a sea of flames!
Zhou Yu's fireship hit England's Royal Fleet, and the "Big Harry" Clark was affected by several fireships. The fire spread to the Clark warship, and the expensive "Big Harry" Clark was reduced to a fireship .
The fleet of the Han Empire was also attacked by fire, and many lucky ships were burned to the sky.
Gan Ning led the Jinfan bandits to climb to fight for the Englishman's Dreadnought.
Gan Ning, who has a force bonus in water battles, killed the Quartet on the Dreadnought in England.
The Beifu army and Jiangdong soldiers were in charge of hand-to-hand combat, and Sun Ce washed the deck with guns!
Yang Xingmi's Black Cloud Long Sword Army also boarded the ship and fought with the English two-handed swordsmen. From time to time, soldiers fell from the warship.
The tiger idiot Xu Chu originally planned to join the battle, but the violent shaking of the warship made Xu Chu's face pale.
Chu Tian took a look at Xu Chu's state. During the naval battle, Xu Chu's military strength dropped by 8 points directly, while Sun Ce, Yang Xingmi, Gan Ning, generals from Jiangzuo, or celebrities in water warfare, their military strength was not affected at all.
Gan Ning's force even rose to 98 points, comparable to the five tiger generals at sea.
Zheng He continued to increase his troops, and the Persian emperor Ardashir also increased his troops one after another. The two fleets flanked the Royal Fleet of England.
The Royal Fleet captured a batch of warships of other lords. The number of warships exceeded 1,000. However, the number of English navy soldiers was not enough. After the melee of the three fleets, they gradually became exhausted.
Drake ransacked a lucky ship and looked around, the flames stretched for several miles. Zhou Yu's fire attack ship caused huge losses to the Royal Fleet.
"The number of enemy warships is more than we thought..."
Drake found that more and more warships appeared in the sea fog. The 2,300 warships of the Eastern Fleet faced the Royal Fleet's warships in the early thousand, and gradually formed a suppressing trend by virtue of their numbers and strength.
Derek used a fire attack, and Zhou Yu also launched a fire attack. The fierce generals of the Fubo Army specially robbed the opponent's galleon, causing the Royal Fleet to lose a lot.
"His Majesty orders the fleet to retreat!"
King Charles of England finally could not bear such a heavy loss, so he ordered a retreat.
If the battle with Chutian resulted in seven or eight casualties in the Royal Fleet, then Charlie might have to withdraw from the national war.
The Royal Fleet finally chose to withdraw its troops because of the gap in warships.
The Persian female general Artemisia was rescued from the sea by Persian soldiers, and she was scratched by the sword of the black prince Edward.
Artemisia reports to Ardashir, Emperor of Persia.
"You've done a good job."
Ardashir lost more than 300 warships in this battle. Considering that the opponent is the Royal Fleet of England, one of the three major maritime civilizations in the western continent, he also thinks it is worth it.
Regardless of Persia or China, land warfare is the main focus, and the kings of both sides are best at cavalry.
Gan Ning successfully captured England's Dauntless sailing warship.
Although the national war cannot take away the spoils of war, the capture of the galleons of the Royal Fleet just happened to allow the generals of the Fubo Army to get acquainted with their opponents in future naval battles.
"The Royal Fleet of the English should not be in peak condition, at least I haven't seen the King of the Seas."
Chu Tian boarded the captured sailing warship Intrepid, but unfortunately this warship will disappear after the national war is over.
After repelling the Royal Fleet, the main island is already close at hand, so the Royal Fleet should not dare to attack again.
As an ally, the Persian fleet also did its best in this battle.
