Chapter 1,252 No Wind

Su Cheng looked up at the clear sky above his head.

Wisps of east wind blowing from the east caressed his skin.

"Captain..."

Mu De, who was standing side by side with Su Cheng on the deck of the Hyperion, had an ugly expression on his face, and then said in a deep voice:

"Today...the wind direction has not changed..."

These days, the first thing Mu De does after getting up every day is to see if the wind direction has changed today.

And every time, the results were disappointing to Mu De.

"Captain...what should we do?"

Mu De then asked Su Cheng.

"If the wind direction never changes to the west, we won't be able to launch a fire attack at all...!"

Before launching the Eastern Expedition, Su Cheng, Mu De, and Blaise had discussed "how to defeat the Farak Empire's fleet."

It was during this discussion that Su Cheng told Mu De and Blaise about his strategy - fire attack.

Fill the No. 1 warship with fuel oil and other necessary items for launching a fire attack, and launch a fire attack against the Frankish Empire's fleet.

Although Su Cheng's strategy was quite perfect in theory, his fire attack strategy was unanimously agreed upon by Mu De and Blaise.

But after the water battle of Anga Lake began, Su Cheng and the others were unable to launch a fire attack.

There was no other reason - the wind was blowing in the wrong direction.

Since entering Lake Anga, Su Cheng and his combined fleet have been located on the west side of the Royal Fleet of the Frank Empire.

But the wind direction has always been east wind.

In other words - if a fire attack is launched at this time, Su Cheng and the others will have to go against the wind.

In this situation of moving against the wind, the flames had not even reached the enemy ship, but the own ship was burned into a sea of ​​​​fire.

These days, Su Cheng and the others are also trying to change the position of the fleet, so that the fleet is in the upwind direction and the royal fleet is in the downwind direction.

However, Otto, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Fleet, seemed to see through their intentions.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Royal Fleet has more and larger ships than the Combined Fleet, Su Cheng and the others are constantly stuck in their position, making it impossible for Su Cheng and the others to get rid of the awkward position of being downwind.

Since there is no way to get rid of the awkward position of being downwind, the only thing left to rely on is to pray for a change in the wind direction.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Mu De and the others prayed, the direction of the wind never changed.

The word "worry" is not enough to describe Mu De's current mood.

Compared to Mu De's worries, Su Cheng's reaction has always been relatively calm.

This is not the first time Mu De complained to Su Cheng that the direction of the wind has not changed.

Every time he complained to Su Cheng, Su Cheng would smile softly and say, "Just wait, maybe the wind direction will change in the afternoon. It doesn't matter even if the wind direction doesn't change, I have a final plan. "

Sure enough, just after Mu De finished complaining, Su Cheng smiled slightly and said what he had said to Mu De many times before.

What is the "final strategy"?

Mu De has always been confused about this "final strategy" proposed by Su Cheng, not knowing what it is.

When asked about Su Cheng, Su Cheng just smiled and did not give any positive answer. He only said, "When the time comes when we really need to launch this final strategy, I will tell you."

…

…

"Huh...?" Su Cheng suddenly frowned slightly and looked at the array of Royal Fleet ships opposite.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

As Mu De asked, he followed Su Cheng's gaze towards the ship formation of the royal fleet.

As soon as his eyes fell on the ship array of the royal fleet, Mu De's pupils shrank slightly.

Because he saw that the Royal Fleet's ship formation was performing unusual actions. Love me e-book

One after another, new warships as huge as hills moved to the front of the ship array, and each new warship was very close to each other.

Although their formation has not yet been deployed, Mu De has already vaguely seen what formation these new battleships are planning to integrate into - a wedge formation.

A wedge-shaped formation composed of new warships as huge as a hill - how spectacular this would be, and how amazing the power it would unleash would be, Mu De couldn't believe it.

"...Mr. Mu De." Su Cheng suddenly spoke in a calm tone at this time, "Send the order to the entire army to retreat. We must not confront the enemy ships head-on."

"yes!"

…

…

As Otto's attack order was issued, the new warships that had been lined up in a dense wedge immediately roared towards the combined fleet's ship array.

Otto named the final trump card of their royal fleet - this ship formation: "Mountain Pressure Formation".

Because when the new warships arranged in a dense wedge shape start to attack, their power and power are like rows of huge mountains pressing down on them.

…

…

Although Su Cheng had ordered the retreat in advance, many ships were still too late to withdraw.

All ships hit by this "mountain pressure formation" will end up without exception - being hit and sunk to the bottom of the lake.

No matter it is the flexible and compact No. 3 warship, or the largest No. 1 warship, they are unable to compete with this "mountain pressure formation".

The new battleship launched the "Mountain Pressure Formation" and rushed forward, invincible. Everything that stood in his way was destroyed.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen warships of the combined fleet had been rammed and sunk.

Su Cheng, who had always had a calm face, finally had a look of solemnity on his face at this time.

…

…

bump! !

A deafening loud noise rang out.

This was not the sound of a new warship from the Royal Fleet crashing into a ship from the Combined Fleet.

This is the sound made by two new battleships of the Royal Fleet colliding with each other.

A new warship that was rushing forward suddenly veered and hit a friendly ship next to it.

Otto, who had been standing on the bow of the Helles to supervise the battle, also saw this scene.

"Oh..." Otto murmured, "I've reached my limit..."

After saying that, Otto turned back and ordered to the general next to him:

"Send the order - stop the offensive and reorganize the formation."

"yes."

…

…

The "Mountain Pressure Formation" is extremely powerful, but it also has a flaw - it is extremely easy to accidentally injure friendly forces.

Maneuvering a ship, especially such a huge one, is difficult.

When charging on horseback on flat ground, a careless operation may knock down the comrades next to you, let alone maneuvering the boat on the water.

Every new warship is so close to each other that it is inevitable to accidentally bump into a friendly ship next to it during the charge.

Once ships collide with each other, the offensive must be stopped immediately and the formation reorganized. Otherwise, the colliding ships will affect the surrounding warships and cause the formation to become increasingly chaotic.

When the new warships terminated their offensive and reorganized their formation, Su Cheng and the others finally got a chance to breathe.

"Retreat." Su Cheng ordered, "Retreat to the back of the reef forest in the southwest."
