243: Battle at Sea, Decisive Battle!
"Husband, for a swordsman, agility and sharpness are far more important than strength."
In a small castle not far from the seaside of Tianshui City, Nell was teaching Sauron how to practice swords.
At this time, most of the Queen's Island fleet has returned and docked.
Even the rock people and rock pirates began to go ashore to camp and enjoy delicious food and wine.
The entire Tianshui City fell into the tranquility before the decisive battle.
And Sauron seized this rare opportunity to learn swords from Neil.
"The so-called agility refers to nerve speed and reaction speed. As long as you are fast enough, you can avoid the enemy's attack or hit the enemy."
"The so-called sharpness is the ability to detect the enemy's flaws and use them."
"The Crossing Tribulation Sword has a total of thirteen moves, now let's practice the first move!"
At this time, Ye Jingyu stepped forward and said: "Master, Her Royal Highness Princess Xiyan has arrived."
Nell continued to correct Sauron's posture as if she didn't hear it.
Ye Jingyu lowered his head and pursed his lips into a smile, and said, "The young lady is also here."
"Ah..." Naier blushed and said, "My sister is here too, so let's go down quickly."
...
"Daughter Suoningbing, meet my aunt." Suoningbing knelt down on both knees, looking at Yan Chuo'er full of admiration.
Yan Chuo'er's face showed a slight embarrassment, then his eyes softened, and he helped Suo Ningbing up.
The little princess Yan Xueer stared at Suoning Bing with beautiful eyes, always looking curiously, full of excitement and eagerness to try.
"Xiaoxue." Suo Ningbing called softly.
"Sister." Yan Xue'er said sweetly, and immediately ran over to hold Suo Ningbing's hand.
She fell in love with this elder sister at first sight, even exactly like the elder sister she imagined.
"Sheyan, I pay my respects to Your Excellency Queen Yan." Princess Xiyan stepped forward and saluted for a while.
Yan Chuo'er dared not accept the gift,
Instead, Xieyan made a full salute.
There are many kings in this world, the king of Rock Island, the king of Black Mountain and so on.
However, there were only four kings who were recognized by the Dragon Temple and the Yan Empire, and were finally canonized.
King Dongli, King Xiliang, King Nulang, King Beifeng.
Although the Rock-like Islands are invincible across the sea, they have less than 100,000 people after all, which is not as large as a princely territory of the Nulang Kingdom, so the weight of this king must be insufficient.
Sauron came down, bowed to Princess Xiyan and said, "Meet Your Highness the Princess."
Princess Xiyan nodded and said, "A hundred thousand troops from all directions have assembled in Luanyang City, and Xili has personally participated in the battle of exterminating Suo, and the battle is about to start."
Sauron brought several people to the small meeting room of the castle.
There is already a huge sand table inside, usually land, usually ocean, and various islands.
The entire sand table is tens of square meters.
When Princess Xiyan saw this sand table, her eyes lit up. It was much more three-dimensional and intuitive than a map, and it couldn't be better for commanding and deducing wars.
"Not surprisingly, when the sky gets dark, the Miesuo Navy will go south and start the Miesuo war."
"The enemy has a total of four forces, namely the Luanyang City Fleet, Linhai City Fleet, Yingzhou Island Fleet, and the ground army of the Turing family. The navy is between 60,000 and 70,000, with 700 battleships and 300 other ships. There are about 60,000 ground troops, a total of 130,000 troops!"
"But we have the Queen's Island fleet consisting of only seven thousand rock pirates, but we have to defend two places, one Tianshui City territory, and the Luanshi Island salt field. This is obviously unrealistic, so I decided to move the Luanshi Island Everyone on the island salt field evacuated and returned to Tianshui City."
As soon as these words came out, many people present were stunned.
Suo Mu said in astonishment: "Master, the Luanshi Island Salt Farm is currently our only source of income, and it generates astronomical income every day. Is it just handed over?"
Sauron said: "If you lose this battle, you won't be able to keep the Random Rock Salt Farm. If you win this battle, you won't be able to lose the Random Rock Salt Farm either."
Suo Feiyang said: "Then do you want to destroy the salt field and prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy?"
Sauron said: "No, it is necessary to ensure that the rock salt field is intact. Because this rock salt field is a huge piece of fat, there must be more than one family sharing food, so the enemy will not occupy it until the war is over. In a big battle, the biggest goal, even the only goal, is my life, and the Queen's Island fleet!"
...
Luanyang City Lord's Mansion.
The four factions, including Prince Xili, are making final battle arrangements in the magnificent and huge conference room.
"We have only one goal in this battle, to completely wipe out Sauron's Queen's Island fleet and kill Sauron."
"There is no suspense about the victory of this battle, but one thing must not be allowed to happen. That is, Sauron and the members of the Sox family used the rapid advantage of the Queen's Island fleet to escape and escape overseas."
"So, the only goal of this battle is to wipe out Sauron's fleet. Everything must serve this goal."
"After Sauron's Queen's Island fleet was completely wiped out, hundreds of thousands of troops landed on the territory of Tianshui City and destroyed the Sox family!" Xi Li said, "Earl Tuliwen, Earl Guixing, you are familiar with the sea area of Tianshui City. It’s better to choose where to land.”
Luanyang city lord Tuli Wen came to the map, pointed to a bay and said: "Here, this is a bay of tens of hundreds of miles. There are almost no ground castle defenses, and the terrain is flat, which is almost the only place suitable for large-scale troops to land. The place."
Indeed, although the territory of Tianshui City is along the coast, the coastline is not long, and the port conditions are not good, so it has not developed into a huge ocean force like Luanyang City.
Gui Xing said negatively: "The Suo family in Tianshui City doesn't attach importance to sea power, so this bay has no name, please His Highness Xili to name it."
Zhili said: "We are playing pirates, and we want to land from here, and play the destruction movement of Soxhlet and even bigger figures. Let's name it Devil's Bay."
"Devil's Bay, good name, let's be devils in hell for a while!" Everyone laughed.
Zhili said loudly: "In this battle, our strength is ten to one, and we will destroy Suoxi with a mighty force. No matter what kind of tactics we use, no matter how we fight, we will win. Therefore, I emphasize again that this battle The only goal is to wipe out Sauron's fleet and kill Sauron, and everything else must be sidelined."
"Obey!"
Zhili looked at the sunset in the west.
"Night is coming soon, let's go!"
Because they want to play as a pirate fleet, they are more or less deceitful, and the army will go out after nightfall.
So, everyone escorted Zhili to the pier.
Zhili poured down a glass of wine, but didn't drink it. He put it on the shore and said, "I'll keep this glass of wine here. I'll serve it with Sauron's head after you return in triumph."
The Lord of Luanyang City, Tu Liwen, and the Lord of Linhai City returned, and the others said with emotion: "I am willing to issue a military order, and within five days, I will behead Sauron and wipe out the Sokite fleet!"
Zhi Li smiled and said, "Duke Turing and I are waiting for your good news here."
"Obey!"
Tu Liwen, Gui Xingchen, Hai Wuyan, Hainer, Ashzhuo, Turingchen and everyone boarded their respective flagships.
Then, the flags of all the ships were raised, all of which were the flags of the skull scimitar, which represented the pirate power.
This is really a big joke. There are thousands of ships and hundreds of thousands of pirates in this world.
The so-called emperor's new clothes, the so-called deception, nothing more.
There was a conch sound.
Thousands of ships and hundreds of thousands of troops, overwhelming and mighty, headed south along the East China Sea, rushing towards the waters of Tianshui City.
...
On the pier of Tianshui City.
The one hundred Queen's Island fleet has been assembled.
That's right, only a hundred ships.
There are about 160 warships in Sauron's hands, including the captives.
But now, only a hundred ships have been dispatched, and they have to face thousands of enemy ships.
"Your Highness, Nair, the defense of the main city of Tianshui will be entrusted to you two," Sauron said.
Princess Xiyan said: "I will do my best."
Nell didn't speak, just looked at Sauron.
"Xiaoxue, you go home with your sister. My mother and I will go home to find you as soon as the battle is over." Sauron said to the little princess Yanxueer.
"En." Yan Xue'er looked at Sauron with wide eyes, and nodded vigorously.
Sauron and Yan Chuoer turned around and boarded the flagship of the Queen's Island fleet.
A horn sounded.
The Queen's Island fleet slowly set sail and headed north.
On the pier, Princess Xiyan bowed down and did not get up for a long time.
Because she knew that although this battle was fought for Suo's survival, it was also fought for her throne and the Shi's kingdom.
...
The vast sea!
Thousands of ships, hundreds of thousands of troops, and the Miesuo army marched southward.
A hundred ships and seven thousand rock pirates' Soxhlet navy marched sharply northward.
The two fleets were on the same route, and they were going to fight head-on.
From the moment of departure, the distance between the two sides was 2,500 miles.
At this speed, after two days and one night, the two fleets will collide with each other.
At this time, Sauron's fleet passed by without a single ship, not even a single pirate.
Because almost all surface forces, all sea merchants, and all pirates know that there will be an unprecedented sea surface battle in this sea area.
Of course, it was also a battle with unprecedented disparity in power between the two sides.
In Pirate Harbor, the bet on this great war has been going on for a few days.
However, no matter how high the odds are, no one is willing to buy Soxhlet to win. Therefore, the gamble never really started.
However, yesterday, a mysterious guest suddenly appeared.
Directly took out 100,000 golden tickets, crushing the Soxhlet fleet to win. Of course, the bet was sent by Sauron.
Immediately, countless hungry wolves flocked to buy Miesuo army one after another.
This is a bet against the bet, no winning percentage is required. If Sauron loses, the 100,000 gold coins held down will be shared among the other bettors.
If Sauron wins, all the bets on the victory of Misuo's army will be swallowed by him.
So, how many gold coins are there to bet on Suo Junsheng?
With a total of 260,000 gold coins, Pirate Harbor is indeed the richest place in the world, with oceans of gold coins flowing everywhere.
Of course, in addition to these bets on Sauron's victory or loss, there are more bets on Sauron's defeat in a few days.
Almost everyone is betting on Sauron's fleet being wiped out within three days.
...
Time is passing by every minute.
It's dark, it's light again, it's dark again!
At this moment, if there were a pair of eyes in the sky, they could clearly see that the fleets of the two sides were only less than two hundred miles away.
The Extinguishing Fleet in the north is like a giant.
And the Soxhlet fleet in the south looked so weak.
A real power of ten to one!
At this time, the sun rose from the east again, Sauron got up from the bed, and after washing, he came to Penetration.
At this time, Yan Chuoer (Queen) was already standing against the wind.
The strong wind blew her silver robe wrapped around the undulating body of mountains and rivers, revealing a magical and alluring curve.
"They are right in front, I can feel it!" Yan Chuoer said.
Not only Yan Chuoer can feel it, but all rock pirates can feel it.
They had stopped screaming and shouting, but sat quietly on the deck, either polishing their cutlasses, or sharpening their arrows, or sitting motionless.
The entire fleet revealed a deathly silence.
Of course, this silence was not out of fear, but out of excitement.
Every rock bandit's gaze revealed a blood-red light, full of killing desire.
Some people even started to cut their chests with daggers again, and then sucked their own blood.
The madness of this group of people is completely unreasonable.
"call……"
Sun rise.
A strong wind rose.
The mist over the sea has receded.
In an instant, Sauron's eyes widened suddenly, because tens of thousands of meters ahead, a huge fleet, like hell demons, gradually revealed a huge and ferocious figure under the sunlight.
Thousands of ships are lined up on the sea, so it turns out to be so spectacular and astonishing.
Sauron took a deep breath.
All the rock bandits stood up, their eyes suddenly bloodthirsty.
Sauron raised his hand.
Immediately, Soxhlet's warriors suddenly lifted the tarpaulin of the huge monster on the deck.
This is his first secret weapon.
A new type of trebuchet, one or two per ship.
This world also had trebuchets thousands of years ago. It's just that the relatively primitive manpower or elastic trebuchets have weak lethality and throwing distance.
And Sauron made the most advanced lever hammer trebuchet on the earth's cold weapon battlefield, and its lethality is several times better than that.
As for the trebuchet, Sauron started making it after he captured Tianshui City, and it was originally intended to be used to defend the city.
As a result, the sea battle came.
He originally wanted to win the sea battle by throwing fireballs from the trebuchet.
As a result, during the actual experiment, I found that the throwing distance and hit rate are completely flawed. It may be okay to use this kind of trebuchet to kill the opponent by surprise and suffer heavy losses, but if you want to use this thing to completely wipe out ten times the enemy impossible.
Now, use this new type of trebuchet with fireball bombs to start the first battle and kill the enemy by surprise!
Give the enemy a huge surprise!
