Chapter 1198 remote firefight
After the attack of the Britannian army fell, the Frankish army's counterattack was launched immediately.
They were also huge rocks, and huge arrows came towards the whistling of the Britannian army.
"Avoid quickly! Turn the rudder quickly!" Blaze shook his knight sword at the top of his voice, directing his subordinates to avoid the huge rocks and crossbow arrows thrown by the Frank army.
This battle was the first battle of the Anga Lake water battle.
Since it is a first battle, we naturally cannot neglect it.
The victory or defeat in the first battle will have a certain impact on the morale of the generals and soldiers of the entire army.
Therefore, whether it was the Britannian army or the Frank army, the troops that were invested in this initial battle were their own elite troops.
The soldiers who followed Blaze to face the enemy were all the elite soldiers in the navy who participated in countless annihilation battles against pirates.
As the first-class elite in the navy, they are quite good at handling ship equipment or handling ships.
Under Blaze's command, the generals and soldiers on the ship ruddered wildly, and their warships were like loaches, turning around and twisting on the wide surface of Anga Lake.
Although in terms of the intensity of firepower, the vanguard of the Frank army was not inferior to the vanguard of the Britannian army.
However, the hit rate of the Frankish vanguard troops was really too obscene compared to that of the Britannian army.
There are two reasons why the hit rate is far lower than that of the Britannian Army:
The first reason: The Britannian ships were too small compared to the Franks and were difficult to hit.
The second reason: The Britannian army's ships have been dodging flexibly, making it even more difficult for the Frank army to hit them.
...
...
The vanguard troops of the two armies were like huge rocks and crossbow arrows, and they were like crazy, pouring firepower towards each other.
And this long-range shooting was the Britannian army that firmly stood up.
Although the Franks' ships have been fighting back, their hit rate is only one-something that of the Britannian army.
From the perspective of the Franks, they used stones to smash kittens.
And from the perspective of the Britannian army, they used stones to smash the big tiger.
The Franks' ships were too big, and it was easy to hit them.
The Frankish ships traveled very quickly, but their ships still had a fatal weakness: the ships were inflexible in steering.
In short, it is not flexible enough.
With such a large size and such poor flexibility, I don’t know how to hide.
To give an image example: throw a stone at a big tiger. Although the big tiger avoided it very flexibly, when it avoided it, it just jumped a step toward it, causing its butt to move to its original position.
Simply put, this tiger just turned the part where he was hit from his head to his butt, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being hit by a stone.
The Britannian Army had no worries in this regard.
The Britannian army's ships were small enough and flexible enough that they could dodge left and right very easily, avoiding the Frank army's huge rocks and crossbow arrows.
The Frankish ships were constantly hit, and the Britannian ships kept avoiding the attack.
As one goes up and down, the Britannian army gradually suppressed the Frank army under this long-range mutual shooting.
Looking at the Frank ships that were constantly hit by their huge rocks and crossbows, Blaze said in his heart:
——As sure... exactly the same as our previous inference...
——Although the Frank army's ships were large, their flexibility was indeed very poor.
——In long-distance combat, we have more flexibility and smaller hit areas, and we have more advantages!
Before the war in Anga Lake Water War began, Su Cheng and Mu De and others had countless meetings.
After so many meetings, Su Cheng and others made various conjectures and inferences about the performance of the Frank army's ships.
Su Cheng and the others unanimously inferred that although the Frank army's ships were large, their flexibility should be very poor.
Now it seems that this is true. Su Cheng and his team’s inference is correct.
The Frank warship, which was huge in size and poor in flexibility, launched a long-range exchange of fire, and the Britannian army was indeed more dominant.
However - although the Britannian army's hit rate was much higher than that of the Frank army, after so long, Blaze and his team still failed to sink even a Frank ship.
Blaze saw with his own eyes that two warships had been riddled with holes by their huge rocks and crossbow arrows, but they had not sunk.
If it were their most powerful No. 1 warship, the Britannian Army, would have been sank after so many attacks.
The Frankish ships did not sink, but Blaze's face gradually sank.
——This is sturdy...
——After hitting so many attacks, there was no sign of sinking...
...
...
While Blaze's face was sunk, there was also a person on the Frank army's face sunk.
Frankish Army, Pioneer Force—
"Tsk..." Ge Yunse, whose face was full of unhappiness, curled his lips due to impatience and boredom.
As Otto's adjutant, he was ordered by Otto and led 20 warships to attack the vanguard of the Britannian Army.
The reason why he only brought 20 warships was because both Otto and he believed that only 20 new warships from their Frank Empire could easily destroy all the ships of the Britannian army.
However—it seems now that both him and Otto are somewhat more concerned about the performance of their new warships and the combat effectiveness of the Britannian warships.
Although their new warships are large and strong, their flexibility is far less than any type of ship type of the Britannian Army.
This also made them suffer considerably when conducting long-range exchanges of fire with the Britannian army ships.
They could not catch the Britannian army's ships, but the Britannian army could gather fire to their fullest.
This "unfair" battle has long made Ge Yunse's heart angry.
"You can't continue like this..." Ge Yunse murmured like this with a volume that only he could hear clearly.
Using your strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses - this is Ge Yunse's military guideline.
What is their biggest advantage compared to the Bretonian warships?
There is no doubt that it is the size and firmness of the ship.
Once you have clarified the most dominant part of your army, it will naturally become easier to formulate the strategy of facing the enemy.
"Sentence—!"
Ge Yunser whispered loudly.
"Stop shooting!"
"Crash the enemy ship!"
With the unparalleled size and solidity of their warships, they sank the Britannian Army's warships - this is Geyunser's new strategy to fight against the enemy.
After receiving the order from Geyunser, the Franks' ships stopped shooting at the Britannian Army one by one.
