Chapter 1,264 "Black Snake"
But the smile on his face froze before it lasted long.
Because——under the cover of the mist, he vaguely saw a black "giant snake" lying across the mouth of Zulu.
"What is that..."
Otto murmured, while raising his hand and rubbing his eyes vigorously.
When he opened his eyes again, there was still a black "giant snake" lying across the mouth of Zulu.
On each ship, more and more soldiers discovered this "giant snake".
"What is that..."
"Who knows."
"Is it an animal?"
"Where in the world is there such a big animal."
...
The soldiers discussed in a low voice, while staring at the unknown "black snake" with Otto.
As the ship gradually approached the "black snake", Otto and the others finally saw the appearance of the "black snake".
It was an iron chain.
It was a thick and long iron chain.
It was a thick and long iron chain connecting the north and south of Zulu.
It was an iron chain that blocked the mouth of Zulu.
It was a chain that made Otto feel dizzy...
On the north bank of Zlukou, flags were flying.
The flags of the Britannia Army and the Knights of Michael were flying.
After seeing what this "black snake" was and seeing the flags flying in the wind on the north bank of Zlukou, a strong sense of dizziness hit Otto's brain.
Otto almost lost his balance and fell on the deck.
He held his forehead and staggered for a few steps before finally stabilizing his posture.
Then he gritted his teeth,
and squeezed out words full of anger from between his clenched teeth:
"Ludendorff, that bastard...!"
"He didn't lift the blockade of Zlukou by the Knights of Michael!"
...
...
On the north bank of Zlukou, the barracks of the Dengjiaer Army--
3 minutes ago, Dengjiaer and Gary received information that an enemy ship was approaching Zlukou.
Three minutes later, Deng Jiaer and Gary both climbed up to the observation tower closest to the lake.
Standing on the high observation tower, Deng Jiaer and Gary clearly saw that on the surface of Lake Anga, more than 40 warships were slowly approaching the mouth of Zru.
The hulls of these more than 40 warships were left with strange charred marks, and many of the hulls of the ships were still heavily damaged.
On the flagpole, the flag of the Frankish army was flying high.
"Sir, they succeeded!"
Looking at the more than 40 enemy ships approaching the mouth of Zru, Deng Jiaer was the first to shout excitedly.
"He defeated the fleet of the Frankish Empire!"
More than 40 enemy ships with dirty hulls, many damaged ships, and the flags of the Frankish army slowly approached the mouth of Zru - anyone with a little brain understood what happened.
Whether it was Deng Jiaer or Gary, their faces were full of uncontrollable excitement at this time.
However, they were excited, but they were not overwhelmed by this strong excitement.
They quickly regained their composure and issued the most important order they should issue now.
"Bows and arrows ready! Focus on the enemy ships!" 202 e-books

...
Dense black locusts rose one after another from the north bank of the Zrukou, and then slammed into the remnants of the Royal Fleet.
"Ludendorff, that bastard..."
Otto, who was forced to hide in the cabin to avoid arrows, still cursed, spitting out all the dirty words in their Frankish language.
Suffering a great defeat and his fleet being almost completely destroyed - this already made Otto very angry.
And now he found that his comrades did not help him lift the blockade behind him.
If he didn't curse and vent his inner emotions, Otto might go crazy directly.
"Didn't he bring the armored holy cavalry and the holy armored soldiers?!"
"With so many elite soldiers, why didn't he break the blockade of Zlukou!"
According to the information he knew, Bazel led 33,500 elite soldiers to Zlukou to lift the blockade of Zlukou by the Knights of Michael.
Bazel's 33,500 elite soldiers included 10,000 armored holy cavalry and 3,500 holy armored soldiers.
Walter handed over the two trump cards of their Frankish Empire to Bazel.
Otto was full of confidence in Bazel.
He believed that Bazel, who brought the armored holy armored soldiers and the holy armored soldiers, as well as another 20,000 elite infantry, would definitely help him lift the blockade in his rear.
And the greater the expectations before, the greater the disappointment now...
Otto didn't know that the equipment of the two trump cards of their Frankish Empire was all piled up somewhere in the barracks of the Dengjiaer Army.
Both the Ironclad Paladins and the Holy Armored Soldiers were heavily armored troops, and their equipment was extremely expensive. It would be a waste if they were just thrown on the battlefield.
So under Deng Jiaer's order, all the equipment of these two troops was stripped off and used as their trophies.
As for the object of Otto's scolding - Bazel...
He is now leading the remaining army of less than 3,000 people, and hastily fleeing back to the Rhineland Plain...
...

Yesterday -
The north bank of the Zlukou -
Bazel deployed 20,000 infantry and 3,500 Holy Armored Soldiers in the middle.
The Holy Armored Soldiers were in the front, and the 20,000 infantry were in the back.
The 10,000 Ironclad Paladins were divided into two, with 5,000 people deployed on the left wing and 5,000 deployed on the right wing.
The infantry was in the middle, and the cavalry was on the two wings - an attack formation that could not be more ordinary.
Although this formation is ordinary, it is Bazel's best formation.
He defeated countless enemies with this seemingly ordinary formation.
After arriving at the north bank of Zulukou and resting for 3 days, Bazel led the whole army that had recovered its strength and was ready to go to the north bank of Zulukou.
Prepare to fight a decisive battle with the Britannian army that blocked Zulukou and lift the blockade of Zulukou.
Bazel did not expect that the Britannian army on the opposite side also arranged the same formation as him - the infantry was arranged in the middle and the cavalry was arranged on both wings.
However, because the Britannian army on the opposite side had less than half of Bazel's army, the Britannian army's formation was much "thinner" than Bazel's army.
Since the Britannian army began to arrange its formation, Bazel stood on a high observation tower and observed the Britannian army's formation.
After the Britannia Army's formation gradually took shape, Bazel discovered that there was something strange about the Britannia Army's formation.
This strange thing was that the infantry deployed in the middle of the Britannia Army was not arranged in a square formation.
Instead, it was a crescent-shaped formation with the middle bulging towards the Bazel Army and concave on both sides.
After seeing that the infantry of the Britannia Army was actually arranged in a "crescent-shaped" formation, Bazel's brows frowned directly.
He didn't understand why the commander of the Britannia Army arranged the infantry formation like this.
In addition to the infantry being arranged in a strange crescent-shaped formation, there was no other strange and noteworthy place in the Britannia Army's formation.
