The enemy on the other side of the Ranger regiment was a lone warship, and the Rangers had a fleet.
The big gold Lord behind the vagrant regiment provided 35 warships for the westward crossing of the regiment, which was a very powerful maritime force. Many small principalities in the old world did not have so many warships to surround their coastlines.
In order to cross this long voyage, almost all the warships set out with full loads. After weeks of consumption, the whole fleet was much lighter.
But on the sea, quantity is often not as important as quality.
The size and speed of the dawn made all the experienced captains nervous, and they quickly prepared for battle and dispersed their formations.
The sharp deviation was caused by the forced change of course of the warships on the edge of the fleet. The Rangers' warships were also equipped with some guns, and they were trying to face the enemy with their own flanks.
However, in the face of the incoming dawn, these captains who are still learning new naval tactics are younger brothers. They are all behind the dawn class warships in tactics and equipment.
Before the Ranger fleet could be fully launched, dawn had already used a sharp change of direction, and steadily placed itself on the T-shaped horizontal position.
The captain nearest to dawn almost put a telescope into his eyes. The other side's huge warship actually made an impossible displacement against the wind. The other side was a magic power warship!
With the side gun doors of dawn opened one by one, guns of different lengths and calibres showed their ferocious side. This is also a drawback of the experimental ship. Without testing, it is difficult to know what caliber and what multiple diameter guns will play better in naval warfare.
The captains of the first row battleships in the Ranger fleet were completely cold at the moment when the other side's gun doors were opened. They could hardly count how many guns they were. But one thing can be sure that although the warship was inferior in number, it completely crushed the whole Ranger fleet in firepower.
With the first round of gunfire of the dawn, the enemy ships on the opposite side were all attached to the sea of fire. At least three warships broke from the middle without even the chance to abandon their ships, and sank quickly to the bottom of the sea without even a bubble.
There were seven or eight warships whose sails or decks were ignited, and the flames spread rapidly. Sailors and soldiers of the Ranger battle group jumped into the sea like dumplings. Unfortunately, no one has the energy to control them.
It's the last few incendiary bombs on board dawn, which have been proven to be effective in ground attacks and in cleaning up chaos, and will be heavily equipped when the next support arrives.
Two flustered warships collided with each other in order to avoid the friendly forces hit on the route. The bow and the bow of the warship were bitten by each other. The two ships were entangled together like a huge live target.
Charles was the passenger of these two hapless warships. He did not care to wipe the blood on his face at this time. He was giving a loud order: "throw away your armor, shield and weapons! Damn it, you're going to drown in that thing! We don't need them in the sea! "
Charles took a look at the direction of the badly damaged bow, then turned to look at the two lifeboats close to the stern, and finally glanced at the panicked sailors and the Gunners who had just emerged from the cabin. He gritted his teeth and gave another order: "don't throw weapons, let's get our people together, don't disperse, we're going in the direction of the boat, Take some sailors along the way. "
"Also, if someone is going to grab a place with us, just do it." Charles looked gloomy and said to several soldiers around him: "there are so many positions in the lifeboat. Tell the brothers not to let those Gunners on board."
We are Musketeers. I can only be responsible for my own soldiers. Sorry.
Soon the mercenaries on the deck were fighting each other. Sailors, Musketeers and Gunners knew that their only way to live was on the lifeboat.
So many corpses will soon attract a large number of carnivorous marine creatures. Without boats, it's better to drown by swimming alone.
Mercenaries are realistic. They won't be soft hearted because they were their former teammates. They can do anything to survive.
The second round of shelling of dawn helped most of them solve their problems. Two ships, more than 300 mercenaries, except Charles and a dozen people boarded the lifeboat ahead of time to escape successfully. The rest of them were buried with the ship.
Several late divers struggled to be sucked into the bottom of the sea by the whirlpool. The wooden boats attacked by large caliber fire seemed to be blasted from the middle. In an instant, they sank into the sea floor, creating many small whirlpools.
The poor leader of the Ranger battle group sank into the sea with his warship in the first round of shelling. He was a soldier of level 9. However, the God in charge of luck and probability was certainly not on his side today. The commander was directly hit by a high-speed projectile and could not describe his current situation. At this time, he was almost already It will melt into water.After three rounds of gunfire, the ship sank 14 ships and injured 15 warships. Of course, the captain of the ship had no idea about it. The shelling at this distance on the land was almost like the cannon firing on the forehead, and the crew members were struggling to hit the wrong side.
They are totally bullying each other. They have no experience in naval warfare, their firepower is weak and their equipment is backward.
In the end, dawn didn't kill all of them. It slowly circled the tramp fleet, casting a huge shadow over the survivors.
The sea was covered with debris of people and ships. Many of the 15 wounded warships had begun to skew, and they were doomed to fail to complete the remaining voyage.
The six warships in the middle of the Ranger fleet were not seriously damaged, and even three were undamaged. The surrounding friendly forces became their shields, but these warships no longer had the courage to fire back.
The Breaking Dawn left the ground in a mess, and the rest of the people would no longer cause them much trouble.
Now the biggest question facing the Rangers' battle group is whether those who fall into the water will save or not? What do you do with the people on the ships that are going to sink?
It was a very cruel choice, and whatever the choice, the Rangers were finished.
