As the hunting master of the White Scars, Corsaro may have everyone thinking that solo hunting is his strength, but he will have the facts to tell everyone that his accomplishments in naval battles will surprise everyone.
"Order, according to the original plan, the central fleet will deploy with the flagship as the center, the first squadron and the second squadron will cover the two wings and move forward appropriately, and the forward fleet will approach the enemy!"
Under the command of Corsaro, the fleet moved quickly and formed a huge artillery array.
"Huh? Corsaro is in trouble?"
The bridge of the red pirate fleet's flagship battle barge, the Bloody Dawn, which was full of skulls and blood stains, was also very busy at this time. The severely mutated crew members who were tied to their posts used various inhuman voices to pass on instructions. Zhu Fu sat on
On the huge command throne, watching various data and information flash across the huge scarlet monitor, he frowned with the blood god symbol engraved on it, and his face as pale as a corpse was full of doubts.
"With these low-speed heavy gunships and a bunch of old ships, is he planning to engage in long-range artillery battles like those idiot human generals?"
"Master, this may be an opportunity."
A person next to Zhu Fu bent down and whispered. He was wearing an armor full of carvings and scriptures. He had shiny black eyes and dark brown skin. His scalp was almost completely peeled off and replaced with some kind of scaly skin.
The skin and mouth are just a split hole with a bunch of jagged teeth inside. The nose is simply gone. I don't know if it was cut off or something. There are only two small holes in the center of the face.
This was the only Word Bearer in Zhufu's warband. He was expelled from Galmyk because of the failure of the struggle. Originally, he would not even look at such a person, and would just pass by with an axe.
But this guy had something in demonology, and he was also familiar with the internal situation of the Red Pirates. Zhu Fu made him an aide, or helper, for future actions.
"The Imperial fleet is not as numerous as ours. Although their tonnage is larger and their firepower is stronger, their troops are far less than ours. If we adopt the tactics of chaos and gang-hopping, we may be able to deal a major blow to the enemy and even defeat the Imperial fleet.
."
After listening to this guy's suggestion, Zhu Fu did not speak immediately. His fingers made a clicking sound on the metal throne.
"This could also be a trap."
Another muddy voice sounded, coming from behind Zhu Fu's throne.
It was the necrotic lord who had a foul smell all over his body.
"Corsaro is not that stupid."
"But these ships are actually there, and their speed determines that their maneuverability lags far behind ours."
"But they also have powerful shields, solid armor, and the firepower to penetrate most of the ships in our fleet with a single shot. We should contain them, conserve our strength, and wait for the result."
"It is too obvious to blindly avoid fighting. Others will think that we are cowardly, and the war gangs around us who want to join us will also be concerned."
After hearing this, Zhu Fu had some ideas.
His original plan was indeed to preserve his strength and wait for the outcome of the decisive battle between Huron and Soshyan. If Huron won, then he would do a favor and fight a smooth battle to gain some benefits and leave the maelstrom. If Huron won,
If you lose, then——
However, blindly avoiding war does have some negative effects. More importantly, if there is really a fight for the Black Heart King's legacy or even the throne in the future, then Zhu Fu will have to be more convincing than others.
Nothing is more convincing than a victory, especially when everyone else has failed.
And those large battleships are indeed quite tempting. If he can capture some of them, it will be of great help to his future career in the maelstrom. No matter what tricks Corsaro has, as long as he does not fall into it himself, then with the strength of his fleet
Mobility, whether fighting or retreating, is no problem.
After much deliberation, and after the imperial fleet had set up its formation and slowly approached, Zhu Fu made a decision.
"The Blood God thirsts for blood and skulls! We need to satisfy it!"
Afterwards, Zhu Fu adopted the classic tactics of the White Scars and ordered the entire army to retreat, trying to use this distance to force the empire's fleet to change.
Sure enough, due to the speed difference between the imperial warships and Corsaro's instructions, the covering fleets on the left and right wings began to separate from the central fleet and move forward. At the same time, the forward fleet also followed closely behind the red pirates——
The empire's formation began to disintegrate.
Afterwards, Zhu Fu showed excellent command skills. He divided the Red Pirate Fleet into three. The slower but more powerful central fleet he led still dragged the empire's forward fleet, while the remaining two parts used small boats and clippers.
The overall mobility made a huge U-turn, and suddenly reached the outside of the two wings of the imperial fleet.
According to Zhu Fu's idea, these two groups will bypass the covering fleets on both wings of the empire, attack directly on the central fleet where Corsaro is located, and launch close combat and gang-hopping operations under the opponent's firepower, completely crushing the empire's formation. Then he
Then head on to break up the Empire's forward fleet and launch a fatal blow.
Due to their superiority in fleet numbers, even if the fleets on both sides of the empire tried to stop them, they would not be able to stop them much, and their formation made it impossible to concentrate their firepower immediately.
Based on past experience, he speculated that the heavy warships commanded by Corsaro would definitely stay in a safe position to conduct long-range bombardment and aviation attacks, which would make them disconnected from other warships. Once they were entangled by a large number of small boats
, it will definitely be difficult for the surrounding warships to rescue him in time. This golden time is the key for him to achieve a brilliant victory, just like the White Scars defeated those cumbersome opponents in the past.
Thinking of using Bai Scar's own tactics to destroy them, Zhu Fu was so excited that he wanted to pull the flag.
The red pirates' formation quickly unfolded, and the ships that were closer to each other began to exchange fire. Fighters and demon engines were entangled, and the silent universe began to boil and become chaotic. Various heat source explosions and radiation signals made both sides unable to observe each other.
becomes difficult.
Under such circumstances, the Red Pirate's actions still had a slight accident.
The actions of those fleets that separated from the main fleet did not exactly follow Zhu Fu's expectations. After being shot by the imperial cover fleet, they further distanced themselves. After all, they were just "franchisees" and the war was fought for this reason.
There are few people who are really willing to risk their lives for the Red Pirates, which undoubtedly delays their ability to outflank the Empire's central fleet.
The second accident made Zhu Fu even more confused. The imperial forward fleet was divided into two again. These destroyers and frigates maneuvered towards both sides of Zhu Fu's formation at extremely fast speeds. Did they plan to use this to their advantage?
Strength to double-team yourself?
The entire forward fleet only consists of more than thirty small battleships——
There is another point that he is a little confused about. It seems that Corsaro's main fleet has not opened fire. However, due to the interference of the empire's forward fleet and the increasingly chaotic electromagnetic environment on the battlefield, he cannot determine the opponent's position and direction immediately, but according to the
According to the judgment of the detection system, the enemy should be right behind the vanguard fleet, but the distance is difficult to judge.
However, the detector did not detect that there were some small but powerful ships hidden in Corsaro's central fleet - the Minotaur-class tugboats.
"The so-called historians all believe that the warriors from Chegoris are barbarians on horseback. We only know how to fight in a disorderly manner. They even think that the original body's tactics are dragging, gouging, and piercing. White Scar
They only know how to use mobility to contain and fight the enemy, just like the herdsmen on the grassland only know how to ride horses and shoot arrows at the enemy."
On the bridge, Corsaro played with his falcon's head a few times with his fingers, and then sneered:
"But no one remembers what tactics the primarch used in the final battle to eliminate the urban dynasty of Chegoris. The warriors of the steppe not only have scimitars and bows, but we also have armored horses and invincible cavalry.
gun,"
As he spoke, he whipped out his machete and pointed at the fleet that was flickering in the distance beyond the observation window.
