Chapter 399 The Boiling Ocean

Facing the murderous intent of Carres, Zajiaming's two squadrons were Rao Zidan. Rao Zidan slowly placed the fleet in the front line. At this time, Rao Zidan's squadron had loaded the third round of tanol bombs and pulled out blue smoke in one go. Although this round of shooting was intended to block, in addition to causing some damage to the warships rushing in the front, the effect could only be considered very average, but Carres and Zajiaming's two squadrons were still because

Avoiding and slightly reducing the speed. At this time, the next action of Rao Zidan's squadron shocked the entire coalition fleet, forming two interlaced fleets. While continuing to maintain a steady speed of travel, the turbulent oil of Greek fire was sprayed on the entire sea. The airship team in the air could clearly see that as the fleet advanced, Rao Zidan's fleet seemed to be a huge brush, covered with ink and swept across a large piece of blue paper...

Carres immediately understood the opponent's tactics, and obviously wanted to create a firewall to separate the entire battlefield. Indeed, the opponent had not ignited the control belt yet, but if anyone wanted to cross this area covered with terrible burners, the opponent would definitely ignite it without hesitation. Carres and Zagarmin's front could only circumnavigate from the two wings of the isolation belt, while asking for Alexander's advice. However, at this time, several other squadrons under Ye Tao were already waiting for the two wings of the isolation belt, waiting for the other party to rush up.

Alexander was also stunned for a moment, but did not rush to issue new orders. Behind Carres and Zagaming was the entire coalition fleet. Alexander's control over the coalition fleet was much worse than that of Ye Tao, Min Yue and Qi Zhentao. On the one hand, it was because the fleet was huge, but the command system was relatively lagging, especially when there was no airship to relay in the air, it was a little farther away, or the enemy or friendly forces that were hindered from the middle could hardly give orders. On the other hand, it was because the model of the coalition fleet ship was too complex. Each country had its own traditions and its national strength was different. It was not expected that countries with only a short coastline and only a relatively small territory could have national strength such as the Sassanian Kingdom and the Pytha Kingdom, and could throw out gold coins like hills to build powerful combat ships. Alexander could not only consider how to fight the best.

I have to calculate my orders, and whether the squadron below can be executed. Alexander is the naval marshal of the Sassanian Kingdom. He has no confidence in the ships commanding the Kingdom of Bossa. In this case, Alexander can only be conservative and not rush to change the orders, and is also to see the performance of the two squadrons, Carres and Zagarmin. The isolation belt in the middle of the battlefield suspended the impact on his side, which became a bit depressed, but if he could quickly gain an advantage on the battlefield, this isolation belt might also be used by himself and become the opponent's death talisman. In order to test the opponent's ability and determination to fight, even if he took advantage of Carres and Zagarmin, it might be worth it. After all, the two fleets combined are only about forty clutches, which is less than 10% of the strength of the entire fleet.

Alexander, who was as deep as water, didn't say much, and the officials on the fleet's flagship and the liaison officers from various countries were all smart, so he naturally understood what his silence represented. Even the representatives of Carres and Zagamin's countries did not say anything, and it was hard for everyone to say anything.

Carres and Zagamin gathered the ships under his command, circled the southern wing of the isolation belt, and simply gave up the northern wing. The warships of Qihai Trading Company probably would not pursue the rear around the isolation belt. After all, there is the main force of the coalition forces behind, and there is no room for a chasing at all.

However, today Qihai Trading Company shows not only the premeditated control strategy of the battle, but also the strong battle. The fleet facing Carres and Zagamin was actually Katerina. Although Katerina was also a mixed fleet of the Tiger Teeth Ship and Cangshui Ship, she chose the most flexible and small Cangshui Ship as the flagship. When she met, she did not slow down at all. Instead, she was able to shoot continuously while rushing into the middle of Carres' fleet. Although the Tiger Teeth Ship was not designed for the battle, it was large and fierce.

The solid body was as powerful as it was used to hit. When the two tiger-toothed ships rushed into Carres' fleet first, the captains under Carres could only hurry to avoid it. However, they were prepared for the docking battle, and while avoiding it, they were already watching the century throwing a hook lock to prepare for hand-to-hand combat. However, Caterina could not make Carres so happy. At this time, her flagship was caught between the two tiger-toothed ships and rushed towards Carres' fleet. When her ship showed up, a pile of turbulent bullets smashed towards the center of the enemy's fleet.

Although Katerina's fighting style is somewhat different from the strategies set by Ye Tao and the others, the effect is good. In this naval battle, in addition to relying on the power of warships and weapons, the courage of the sailors also needs to combine the two together to achieve the best results. The reason why the Qihai Trading Company was able to develop a tactic that could combine the crossbows to close-range shooting and Greek fire was because the sailors under their command did not rely entirely on the crossbows that were farther than the opponent's range and the amazingly powerful sulphurs. They were not afraid of getting into the red knife with the opponent's white knife. When Katerina was commanding the escort fleet, although the casualty rate of her fleet was not low, unexpectedly, those trained sailors also particularly liked to drill into Caterina's fleet.

Caterina rushed into Carres' fleet and fought together. Xia Jiangping's squadron hurriedly set off on the flanks and launched shelling uninterrupted. A series of designs made Zajiaming's fleet unable to support it for a while. Destroying the opponent's rhythm and destroying the opponent's formation in a naval battle is more insignificant than any tactic. The warships are not soldiers, and they can stop when they say stop, and they can run when they say they want to run. Raising sails and falling sails and coordinating the queue is a very troublesome job. It takes a lot of time to communicate with each other, and the tacit understanding between the front and back teams. Even ordinary merchant fleets have to carry out unplanned movements when encountering any situations, and they have to toss for a long time without interference, let alone under the threat of a bunch of killing things?

After Xia Jiangping pushed up, Ye Tao and others who could see clearly on the flagship put down the telescope in their hands and looked at each other.

"This battle is finally over." Ye Tao sighed. At least at the beginning of this, for such a short period of time, the entire battle situation was almost exactly as they expected.

Min Yue raised his eyebrows and said, "Then it depends on when the Greek fires were ignited. Ye Tao, do you really need to soak those things in water?"

Ye Tao smiled and said, "You started using that thing when it was called hot oil. You still need to ask me? Although as the ratio evaporates, the ratio will gradually become uneven and its power will decrease. However, these things are not diluted by water, and their polymerization performance is also very good, and they will not float around casually. There is no problem in at least one or two hours."

Seeing Ye Tao being so sure, Min Yue nodded and said, "That's it. The airship team is in the sky and can be ignited at any time. This is much safer than sending ships in front of you. Just calculate it according to two hours and see how far you can fight in two hours."

Everyone is quite confident in combat. The problem is how much loss they have to pay to obtain the results they need. Also, how much time it takes.

As the war continued, uncontrollable situations continued one after another. First, the isolation belt in the middle was ignited by a crossbow ship wrapped in white gauze shot out by a ship that was inexplicably lit. The entire sea area suddenly burned and boiled, and the heat waves that came to his face could be felt across a considerable distance. During that time, no matter whether it was approaching this isolation belt or not, no matter which fleet was on the side, they moved in the direction of the principle isolation belt, for fear that if they encountered something, they would be forced into the isolation belt and were swept into the entire dazzling fire.

However, after a while, it became another situation. While the Greek fire was burning violently, it also greatly reduced the combustion area. The Greek fire was indeed huge, but the combustion speed was too fast. Ye Tao looked at this situation and muttered and turned around to urge the people from the research institute to create a burning agent that burned slowly and lasted longer for a longer period of time. Min Yue and Qi Zhentao looked at each other and said nothing.

There may not be many opportunities to use combat. Although it is a little extravagant to use Greek fire to blockade, it is also a good idea. However, the guards following Ye Tao did not think so. Instead, they took out their notebooks and pencils and recorded them casually. In order for the guards to drink on horseback, Ye Tao specially made a flat wine pot and a spout made of polished steel to prevent overturning and splashing. This kind of combat matter is mainly necessary, and naturally it is to be perfect.
