It's closer.
However, before issuing the attack order, Dai Lin was shocked by the orc fleet.
What a huge fleet this is. Looking around, the sea in front of you is densely packed with orc warships. Although the formation is chaotic, the dense fleet still stretches for several miles. There are thousands of ships on the battleship. The torch shined the sea as bright as day.
This exaggerated amount is simply an overwhelming advantage for Dai Lin's fleet. Except for the nationwide withdrawal of the Stormwind Kingdom, Dai Lin has never seen such a large fleet again.
However, most of the evacuation of Stormwind Kingdom are civilian ships, which are far from warships.
However, after Dai Lin took a closer look, he immediately laughed.
Although the orc fleet in front of us has a large number of ships, in fact, they are not warships at all, and they are far from civilian ships. They are obviously sea coffins.
It is too easy to deal with such an enemy.
Therefore, Dai Lin decisively issued the order to attack.
Compared with the orcs, the human fleet has much stricter discipline. Dai Lin ordered them to light up the long-lost lights and expose themselves to the tribe.
It wasn't until this time that the orcs realized that their opponents were already in ambush.
The ambush of the Alliance fleet made the new orc sailors a bit panicked. The transport ship in front of the fleet became confused without waiting for the opponent to take a shot. Either I forgot to communicate, or how to use the semaphore or how to translate it. Many transport ships even collided with each other in desperation.
However, facing the ridiculous opponent, Dai Lin did not show mercy.
Following his order, the Alliance fleet's forwards lined up, seized the upper hand in strict accordance with the tactical standards, and fired the first salvo at the orc fleet with a T-shaped head horizontally.
The sound of the guns roared one after another, and the sea was full of smoke.
In the face of the Alliance’s artillery fire, the Horde suffered heavy losses.
Many transport ships were hit and shattered by shells, and more were overturned by the splash caused by shells at close range. The poor manufacturing level of the orcs made their ships useless except for being heavy and heavy. Among them, the shortcomings in balance are now Let them suffer a big loss.
Above Wang Yang, the shipwreck was seen everywhere, and the orcs who fell into the water were immediately swallowed by the surging waves.
Proudmoore soon realized that he could even destroy an entire tribal army at sea.
Of course, he didn't know what kind of accidents would happen next.
Everything will be out of his control, making him deeply aware of the limitations of ordinary navy.
Item 0549
In the face of the artillery fire of the human navy, the transport ships of the orcs were basically unable to fight back. Their only long-range offensive methods were trebuchets or manual throws by soldiers.
However, the former cannot be aimed at the sea at all, and the latter has a range too close and its power is too small to be comparable to artillery.
The volley of the Alliance Navy was a massacre for the Horde.
After a few rounds of artillery fire, the ocean in front of you became a "mass burial pit." The wreckage of countless ships and planks floated on the ocean, and the orc warriors of countless dry ducks were so powerful that they were ruthlessly swallowed by the sea. Chinese dishes for aquariums and murlocs.
Fortunately, the number of orcs' fleets is large enough that the alliance can't be completed by a volley for a while. The war at sea is not comparable to land, and the distance between ships and ships is much larger than the dense formation of infantry on land. This makes it impossible for the salvo to face a large number of tribal navies to cause excessive damage.
Facing an opponent who was basically unable to fight back, Dai Lin did not hesitate to give the command of the general attack.
The alliance fleet finally lifted the line formation and began to charge against the orc fleet in their own fight. They planned to go deep into the enemy's line, give full play to the lethality of the artillery on both sides, and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.
On the side of the tribe, Orgrim, who had endured for a long time, finally gave an offensive order to the Red Dragon troops of the Dragonmaw clan.
Before that, he had been sitting and watching his army being slaughtered by the enemy. Although the silver teeth were crushed and his heart was tormented, he did not rashly give the order to let the red dragon attack.
What he was waiting for was the moment when the alliance began to attack.
Orgrim knew that although he had the invincible air power of the Red Dragon in his hands, the only drawback of the Red Dragon was that the number was too small.
Therefore, it is necessary for him to try to make the red dragon play its best role.
Just now when the Alliance fired a salvo of artillery in the distance, he did not dispatch the Red Dragon for this reason.
During the salvo, the Alliance fleet was nearly a kilometer away from the Horde, and in order to take advantage of the number of side artillery, all enemy ships in the line formation faced the Horde warships side by side. This led to the fact that even if the red dragon attacked, The enemy also has enough time to escape.
In this way, although it can reduce one's own losses, it can cause no fatal damage to the alliance's fleet at all.
Of course Orgrim is not willing to get such a result, because if the enemy's navy is not hurt, they can easily come back and harass the tribe’s sea power at sea. Although the red dragon is invincible, it is not enough to **** the whole thing. The route, which leads to the future battle situation, the Horde still has to face the powerful Alliance navy, which Orgrim does not want to see.
However, it is different now.
The alliance's warships launched a general attack. In order to maximize the damage to the tribe, their fleet will be closer to the tribe, so they have to turn to the direction of the tribe.
As we all know, it is very difficult for a ship to turn around at sea, especially the alliance that has the upper air.
Now let the red dragon attack, the alliance wants to spend a lot of time to escape, and in this way, the red dragon can inflict heavy damage on them before they evacuate, so that they will never dare to face the tribe's sea power.
I have to say that Orgrim's abacus is very good.
On the Alliance side, when witnessing the tribe’s fleet begin to rout, Dai Lin laughed rare. Soon, there will be no tribes in this sea area.
At this moment, the sentry suddenly shouted from above: "Admiral! Something is coming towards us-from the air!"
Proudmoore raised his head to look at the sailor, his face pale and trembling all over, pointing north.
He pointed the telescope in that direction, and soon discovered what caused the sentry to shout.
A black shadow was moving in their direction through the clouds. Those things were too far away to see clearly, but he could see that he was huge and moved quickly. He didn't know what the Horde could fly, but he had a hunch that was warning Proudmoore that the battle was far from over.
Closer, closer.
When the shadows were already close enough that Dai Lin could clearly see their appearance, he felt that the sky had fallen.
There, diving down through the clouds was a dragon, its scales gleaming blood-red in the morning light. Behind him was the second, third, and more...their strong wings flapped, bringing them closer to the target.
This fleet.
That's the legendary dragon.
Although few of the people present have seen the existence of the dragon with their own eyes, the legend of the dragon has long been deeply rooted in Azeroth. The dragon’s huge body, strong armor and terrible dragon’s breath are all A horror that is popular among ordinary people.
And now, the legendary dragon appeared in front of them, in the hands of their enemies.
When he thought of the flames of the dragon, and believed in the wooden warship, Dai Lin knew the end.
"Poseidon is on board, we need to retreat temporarily!" Dai Lin reluctantly gave this order, "Send all ships to turn around immediately! Let's leave here first!"
However, the next second he remembered that in order to fully kill the orc fleet, he ordered a general attack. When he found that the distance between the ships of the fleet was too close during the general attack, he did not deal with it. After all, he thought at the time. Come, deal with such an enemy who doesn't have the power to fight back without thinking about retreating.
It didn't take long for him to reap the consequences.
The distance between the warships is so close that the warships sandwiched by the friendly forces cannot turn at all. This also means that they have to collide with their friendly forces and make the same low-level mistakes as their opponents, or they can only move towards. The terrible red dragon is heading towards death.
