Chapter 1078: Wolf pack tactics

Yue Yun looked at the burning sailing warship on the sea with a strange smile on his face.
　　
　　 Liu Chen was beside Yue Yun, and the laughter never stopped, "General, I didn't expect your joke to come true. These Europeans really came and attacked at night."
　　
　　 "My remarks during the day were definitely not just jokes, facing our iron armored ships, they could only use unusual offensive methods." Yue Yun said.
　　
　　 After arriving in the sea off Kolkata, he and the general mentioned in a joke that the European fleet might launch a sneak attack at night, using the battle to shorten the gap between the two sides.
　　
　　 It is for this reason that they did not turn on the searchlight warning at night as usual, but this time they did not turn on the searchlight. There were searchlights on the hidden armored ship. They did not expect that these Europeans would actually touch it in the dark.
　　
　　 "Anyway, the European joint fleet hit our guns. Let them all sink in the sea tonight." Liu Chen said.
　　
　　After arriving at their destination, they learned that the warships of the combined fleet were all hidden in the upper reaches of the Ganges. Such terrain was very unfavorable for them, because if they entered the Ganges, their iron-clad ships would be attacked by army artillery.
　　
　　 Yue Yun's gaze has been focused on the sea, his expression has gradually become solemn, and he said: "Don't take it lightly, let all the Marines be in place, the battle has just begun."
　　
　　 Liu Chen looked forward upon hearing the words, and found a burning sailing warship rushing towards them. Obviously, this time the combined fleet is equally strong in war.
　　
　　 "Aim at the enemy ship trying to approach us, and sink it!" Yue Yun faced this situation, and Yue Yun issued an order.
　　
　　 Liu Chen also realized that the danger had not been eliminated. He immediately asked the Marines to set up the machine gun on the deck. Once hit by the enemy ship, it was their task to protect the warship.
　　
　　 "Boom boom boom..."
　　
　　 King King's iron-clad ship suddenly turned on its firepower, and shells flew towards the sailing warship that rushed in. After being hit continuously, the warship finally sank slowly.
　　
　　 At the same time, other iron-clad ships are also exerting their maximum firepower, and bright fires continue to rise on the entire sea. After each fire, several warships in the combined fleet are hit and sunk.
　　
　　 For a time, the entire surface of the sea was full of burning warships. In addition to the sound of the exchange of fire, the cry of the enemy soldiers in the sea also resounded through the night sky.
　　
　　 "Corbancy, what should we do?" Ferryn asked anxiously amid the deafening cannons.
　　
　　 Their flagship is located in the center of the fleet, and now their forward fleet is suffering a devastating blow, which makes them and onlookers feel worried and fearful.
　　
After the initial shock, Corbancy regained his senses. He said: "We can't rush over like this, otherwise our warship will be destroyed. Put down the boat and let the soldiers approach the enemy warship in the boat. The firepower of the warships will be dispersed, and we still have a chance of victory."
　　
After a pause, he pointed to the lights on the Imperial battleship and said: "These strange lights have exposed us. Tell the soldiers to shoot at these bright places once they are in range. Although I don't know what it is, it must be the Empire. New technology."
　　
　　 Fei Lin nodded heavily when he heard the words, he immediately called the messenger, let the messenger take the lantern to make one movement, this is the way of passing news between them.
　　
　　 After getting the order, the soldiers on the battleship immediately put down the small wooden boat, and a group of twenty people went to the Imperial battleship, and the two small boats were filled with explosives. This was also the order of Corbancy.
　　
　　Each sailing warship put down ten small boats, and the remaining hundreds of warships put down thousands of small boats to rush towards the Imperial fleet.
　　
　　 For a time, the entire sea was covered with small wooden ships of the Joint Fleet, and in the process of rushing to the Imperial Fleet, the boat kept rescued the fallen soldiers aboard and rushed over.
　　
　　The actions of the combined fleet were quickly discovered by Yue Yun. In the distance, the warships of the combined fleet adjusted their positions and were bombarding each other. The thousands of small wooden ships that came to them had a sense of wolf tactics.
　　
　　 Yue Yun is no stranger to the tactics adopted by the joint fleet, because there are such battle examples in the textbooks of the Imperial Naval Academy.
　　
　　 And the textbook also recorded a great sea battle between Spain and Britain. At that time, Britain used small arson ships and ships full of explosives and soldiers to finally win.
　　
　　Because in such large-scale naval battles, large warships are far less flexible than these small wooden ships. Once they are approached by the wooden ships, the soldiers on the wooden ships can attack by chiseling, bombing, and burning ships.
　　
　　The number of them was at a disadvantage in this battle. Now that the combined fleet uses this method, they suddenly become passive. After all, the number of enemies is large and the target is small, so hitting them will undoubtedly be a cannon and mosquitoes.
　　
　　 But if you don't solve them, it will be very troublesome if you get close.
　　
"To send orders to other warships, the main guns continue to fire at enemy large warships, and use secondary guns and sampan guns to fire at small boats at sea to prevent them from approaching. At the same time, let the Marine Corps strafing the ships that are trying to approach, and prepare hand grenades. "
　　
　　The densely packed boats approached them, this kind of scene really made people a little scalp, Yue Yun didn't dare to be careless this time.
　　
　　 Upon receiving the order, the searchlights of the Ironclad Sovereign flickered immediately. After installing the searchlights, they immediately mastered the language of the lights. There is nothing more convenient than the language of lights in the dark to communicate with each other.
　　
The changes in the searchlights on the 　　 King's ironclad ship were instantly captured by other warships. They acted according to the orders, and the Marines resting in the warship cabin quickly entered a state of combat.
　　
　　 "Swish swish..."
　　
　　 In order to find the location of enemy boats more clearly, flares were fired over the sea. Under the light, the boats of the combined fleet were exposed.
　　
"Da da da……"
　　
　　 Just then ~EbookFREE.me~ The machine guns on the King's ironclad fired flames, and they first fired at a small boat entering range.
　　
　　 A series of bullets hit the wooden boat, and the soldiers on the boat fell into a pool of blood before they could react.
　　
　　 At the same time, more and more machine guns sounded, and the soldiers on the boats fell in the machine guns.
　　
　　 The soldiers on the boat also launched a counterattack. The flames from the muzzle were continuously lit on the boat, and the soldiers on the iron armored ship began to suffer casualties.
　　
　　The battle situation became more and more tense. Although the small boat was hit hard by the machine gun fire, there were too many small boats. They scrambled to approach the iron armored ship, like soldiers charging wildly.
　　
　　 "Crack!"
　　
　　 While Yue Yun was watching nervously, a bullet hit the searchlight, and the beam of light illuminating the enemy battleship disappeared.
　　
　　 Seeing this, Yue Yun's heart was tense, he shouted: "Quickly replace the spare searchlight!") Download the free reader!!
