"Huh?! Where did the Eastern Totonak Alliance come from with so many big ships?"
The Totonac coast is azure in January. The sea and sky seem to be equally distant, blending silently in the distant sky; the clouds are uniquely close, seeming to be within reach before our eyes. However, at this moment, all this peace was broken by the fierce fighting at sea!
The black wolf Toltec carried a big bow on his back, two baskets of copper arrows, and six hundred red-haired hunters, and rushed to the coast where they were fighting. He stopped and looked around, and saw only two naval divisions, the east and the west, each with two hundred canoes, like a dense school of fish on the water, constantly entangled and fighting on the sea!
"The navy of the kingdom, the catamaran canoe that keeps shooting arrows..."
The number of navy of the western kingdom is slightly higher. The catamaran canoes were mackerel side by side, relying on their relatively stable hulls to keep getting closer and shooting out arrows. The single canoe is a small cod. It nimbly gets close to entangle it, stabs out a sharp spear, and attacks the enemy at close range.
When Black Wolf looked at the Totonak Navy in the east, his brows suddenly wrinkled and his eyes became sharp.
"The navy of the Totonak Alliance, big ships ramming back and forth? One, two, three...eight, nine, ten! Damn, ten big ships! Eh! This? This is! Two kingdom longships? !…”
In the astonished sight of the red-haired hunters, the Totonak navy from the east rushed towards them like a school of trout led by a shark, fiercely and madly! Among the ten leading "sharks", two are the kingdom's longships, with sharp bronze horns. As for the remaining eight ships, they are Mayan-style galleys. They are huge in size, only slightly smaller than a 20-meter long ship, but their speed is even faster!
"Blessed by the Lord God! Shoot arrows! Shoot arrows! Stick up and surround their big ship!..."
On a flagship catamaran canoe, the leader of the Royal Navy, Nuo Huyu, looked fierce, waving the three-meter flag spear with the red flag, and constantly directed the gathering of "fish schools". Facing the oncoming ship, she gritted her teeth like an angry tigress, almost roaring.
"Side, hit from the side! Be sure to avoid the front!... Charge! Fight for the Lord God!..."
"The gods bless us! The sun and the feathered serpent protect us. We have the blessing of the gods and the advantage of the big ship! Charge! Charge from the front! Kill these Mexicans who are colluding with the underground demons, and the seaside that surrenders to the demons. traitor!…"
Hundreds of steps away, a dozen priests from the Hidden Snake City were shouting slogans feverishly on the speeding longships and galleys. They encouraged the tribal sailors rowing, almost risking their lives, to increase the speed of the boat to the maximum!
"Boom! Boom!..."
The fleets on both sides accelerated like sharp arrows, and the distance of a hundred steps passed in an instant, and then they collided fiercely!
"Boom! Click!..."
Two bronze longships colliding with each other directly smashed two kingdom catamaran canoes in half. And the eight Mayan galleys, like big fish swimming in the water, knocked over more small boats in the water! Immediately afterwards, hundreds of similar canoes collided into a ball like a school of fish, completely killing each other, and quickly dyed the entire coast red!
The navy fighting at sea at this moment is only at the level of Wu Yue's struggle for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period, or even worse. But the speed of casualties on both sides was no less than that of water battles in the Old Continent! The Totonak warriors on both sides had almost the same appearance and shouted the same language. They all wore only cloth armor, and they could distinguish themselves from the enemy only by the simple patterns on their short clothes and the different colors of their headscarves, and then they killed each other mercilessly!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!..."
Big feather arrows flew back and forth, shooting at the rear formations of both sides' fleets. The sharp javelins fired at each other in the front line, piercing through the thin flesh. And when the ships of both sides came close to each other, the warriors hurriedly thrust out their spears and slashed their short axes desperately, splashing the big clouds of bright red! …
In just a moment or two, this fierce collision and fighting caused nearly 600 casualties!
"Damn it! The kingdom's fleet has fallen into a disadvantage! Where did these Totonak ships come from?"
The black wolf Toltec's eyes were sharp and he kept scanning all over the battlefield. The navy on both sides in the melee had no idea of their own casualties. They just relied on their faith and bloody courage to fight cruelly. But Black Wolf on the shore could clearly see that the Kingdom's fleet had fallen into a disadvantage!
Among the five to six hundred casualties, an estimated three to four hundred were from the kingdom's naval fleet, while the Totonac Alliance on the opposite side only suffered more than two hundred casualties. After all, the advantage of large ships in naval battles is too obvious. Not only in the first round of collision, but also in the subsequent close fight, the big boat will steadily overwhelm the small boat!
"No, we can't continue fighting like this! The Totonak navy in the kingdom's navy is already shaky! But the opponent's morale is very high!..."
Hei Lang narrowed his eyes and looked carefully for a moment, then something bad came into his mind. The fighting became more and more intense, and the navies of both sides were basically fully engaged in the battle, leaving only a few small canoes behind. This almost came out in full force, overwhelming everything at once. The Totonak Eastern Alliance had obviously planned for a long time, gathered enough strength, and got an unexpectedly large ship just for this decisive battle on the water!
"Damn it! If the fight continues like this...the Kingdom's Donghai Navy will be defeated!..."
If the Kingdom's navy is allowed to be defeated, or even retreated for several miles, and is chased by the enemy, then the logistics supplies of the Eastern Expedition army on the front line... Thinking of this, Hei Lang pursed his lips, and looked at the speed of the ship again. The extremely fast Mayan galley makes quick decisions.
"Quick! All hunters are wearing armor! Come with me to the edge of the beach! Set up a big bow, set up a copper arrow... no, put on a black oil rocket! Get ready to support the navy!"
"Yes! Black Wolf Leader!"
"Where's the flagship? Where's the kingdom's flagship?!"
"Boss, where is it! Look at the spear with the red flag! On an enemy galley!..."
Hei Lang looked at it from a distance and smacked his lips in surprise. The captain of the navy, Nohuyu, actually led a team of personal guards to charge into a Mayan galley! And looking at the momentum of the spear's swing, it was obvious that the ship was about to be captured!
"Ha! What a brave female warrior! ... What a pity! ..."
Hei Lang looked at it for a while, praised it, and shook his head secretly. He now understands more and more that this kind of personal bravery can hardly change the overall situation on the battlefield. Unless you kill the enemy's commander and let the enemy soldiers who are fighting know it, they will be shaken and run away.
"Quick! Blow the trumpet! Notify the kingdom's fleet! Prepare the rocket, pull it to full string, and throw it at the enemy's ship with all your strength! Light their sails for me!...Huh? Can't shoot? Even if you can't shoot, give it to me Light a fire on the sea!...Go! Let the best team of shooters board the ship!..."
Black Wolf did not hesitate and gave the order to shoot. The "didi" sound of the conch horn resounded along the coast, but not many of the two fleets in the selfless fight noticed the sound of the conch horn. The dozens of most elite red-haired hunters, carrying the most rockets, boarded eight or nine small boats at the rear and quickly rowed towards the center of the battlefield.
"God bless you! The wind is just right, blowing to the east! It's a good time to set fire!"
The black wolf's eyes were as calm as a wolf, but also filled with chilling coldness. He stared at the battlefield not far away, and the tilt of the situation became increasingly clear. The kingdom's fleet, which had been suppressed by the Totonac Alliance's fleet, could not stop withdrawing towards the shore.
Seeing this scene, Hei Lang's eyes lit up. He estimated the distance of the rocket on the beach, and watched as the red-haired elite rower stopped and lit the rocket at close range. On this chaotic seaside battlefield, he didn't care about any human life, only the future of the Eastern Expedition.
"Witness the Lord God! Don't worry about accidental damage! Whether it's on the shore or at sea, let me shoot freely!...Light the fire! Shoot the rockets! Set the entangled ships on fire to separate the fighting parties!...Quickly, shoot!!..."
