Great Song Pirate

Chapter 441

"Order Wang Zhi and Zheng Guang to intercept the Zhanren sailing boat on both wings, and we will continue to move forward!" Xu Yi and Sun Hai immediately saw the movement of the Zhanren fleet, and Xu Yi suddenly realized that today's opponent seemed to be in trouble, not as they imagined. So simple.

"These bastards want to stick to us, and then swarm up, come and kill elephants, we have to be more careful! Small boats are hard to deal with!" Sun Hai said to Xu Yi.

"That's right! Order all ministries and ships to cover each other, don't stand alone, let alone rush into the enemy group, keep a distance and drag them to fight! Maximize our advantages!" Xu Yi nodded and gave orders one after another.

"My lord! I suggest using the Escort's clippers to hunt down their lone ships outside. Our clippers are fast and flexible, and won't be entangled by them!" Sun Hai also held up his binoculars to observe the opponent's situation. These generals of the Fubo Army randomly pulled out one, they are all veterans of naval warfare, and everyone has a lot of ideas.

Xu Yi nodded and said: "That's a good idea, Cui Yan passed this order to Lin Xiong!"

The fleets of the two sides were constantly changing formations on the sea and approaching quickly. The fleets of Wang Zhi and Zheng Guang on the two wings first came into contact with Zhanren's fleet. To attack, a small number of artillery and a large number of ballistas were fired at the same time.

Immediately there was a roar on the sea, and the kerosene bombs fired by the ballista flew out of their ship like poisonous bees, drew a low and extended arc, and slammed into the occupying fleet approaching them.

For the Zhan people, they have never seen such weapons and tactics. The two-wing fleet that was hit first immediately began to be in chaos, and a dozen ships were immediately hit by fire oil bombs, burning up, and Two boats were bombarded by thunder cannons, and were immediately disintegrated by the bombardment, becoming a pile of wooden boards floating on the sea.

After seeing the battle on the two wings and hearing the bangs from the skeleton ship, Puala's heart twitched suddenly. Fortunately, he had heard about this situation a long time ago, so he quickly calmed down again. Believe those rumors, the Skeleton Army will really summon Tianlei to help in the battle, and things will be difficult to handle now.

Moreover, he also saw that the opponent started to attack from such a long distance, and the bed crossbow and bow arrows on his ship had not yet entered the range, so he could only be beaten passively, so he immediately shouted: "Beat the drums and order the two-wing fleet to speed up!" Speed ​​up, spread out to increase the distance between the ships, approach them and fight!"

Before he could say it a second time, the drummer behind him began beating desperately, and conveyed his order to the fleet on both wings. They jumped, but they were also mentally prepared. After a short period of panic, they began to stabilize their positions, spread out quickly, increased the distance between each other, and once again faced the fleet of the Fubo Army. past.

Xu Yi, Sun Hai, Wang Zhi and the others all frowned. Today's Zhanren showed a state that was beyond their expectations. The other party recovered from the panic in the first round of shelling so quickly and did not show up. The chaotic scene they expected, but they quickly dispersed their formation and continued to meet their wings. It seems that they really underestimated this group of occupying sailors. Compared with the previous Once Zhipeng and the others behaved almost like two different people, this problem seems to be a bit troublesome.

"Turn to the northwest, keep a distance from them, don't let them approach us, and continue to drag them to fight!" Zheng Guang gave orders to the ships under his command on his ship with experience, and they took the initiative to turn, An arc was drawn on the sea, and it headed toward the northwest, and immediately opened a little distance from the occupying ships that were approaching them.

"My lord, let's give up the enemy's central fleet first. I think it's better to eat their left wing fleet first, then disable their two wings, and then take care of the centipede ships in the center. I wonder what the lord wants?" Sun Hai observed. Seeing the battle situation on the two wings, he suddenly asked Xu Yi for instructions.

Xu Yi glanced at both sides, then nodded and said: "Now you are in command of the main fleet, you can see that it is done, and I will see how you fight today's naval battle! You just give orders and don't need to ask me!"

Sun Hai was very grateful for Xu Yi's trust. He bowed and saluted Xu Yi, and then immediately ordered the main fleet to turn to the right and move towards the group of occupants who were about to approach Wang Zhi's fleet. people ships.

"Not good! General, our left wing fleet is in trouble!" An officer standing behind Puala hurriedly said to Puala after seeing the skeleton army's central fleet suddenly turn around.

Why didn't Puala see this situation, and immediately realized the problem, and immediately ordered: "All centipede ships speed up immediately, turn to the southeast, and cooperate with the right-wing fleet to attack the left-wing fleet of the Lulou Army!"

The officer who spoke immediately said anxiously: "In this case, our fleet on the left is in danger!"

Puala said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, I can see clearly, order the left-wing fleet to entangle the opponent desperately, buy us time to take down the left-wing fleet of the Skeleton Army, and come back to rescue them immediately!"

The officer who spoke immediately didn't dare to say more. He understood Puala's intentions. Puala was using the fleet on the left as a price to buy them time. He wanted to concentrate his forces to eat the ships on the opponent's side. Team, and then seize the upper hand, this move is really ruthless!So he did so immediately, and ordered the fleet to go.

"Damn it! They're playing dirty with us, and they actually did this! They don't care about the life and death of their left-wing fleet, Zheng Guang's fleet may be in trouble!" Sun Hai also immediately saw the opponent's movements, and in a flash Then he figured out the reason and cursed angrily.

"Don't panic, Zheng Guang is not something they can deal with. Order Zheng Guang to turn around immediately, distance himself from them, and order Lin Xiong's troops to go to support Zheng Guang. Since they are playing tricks, let's let them play. Let's eat this fleet of people first, I want to see how ruthless they can be!" Xu Yi said immediately.

Sun Hai then nodded and agreed, and Cui Yan immediately conveyed Xu Yi's order. Now everyone felt that today's battle seemed interesting.

After receiving the order, Zheng Guang immediately changed direction again according to Xu Yi's instructions, and retreated towards the northeast, keeping a distance from the Zhanren fleet. Xiong's fast boats also rushed over from their right rear side, forming a parallel situation with the Zhanren fleet. The ballistas on the ship desperately hit the Zhanren ships that were chasing Zheng Guang's fleet. The fleet on the right wing was in serious trouble. Not only did it fail to bite Zheng Guang's fleet, but was bitten by them fiercely. Immediately, more than a dozen ships were set on fire, and the speed of the ships slowed down quickly. The sailors desperately put out the fire on the ship, but they soon discovered that this kind of kerosene was not as simple as they thought. It was impossible to extinguish them immediately, and those who moved slower were quickly burned to death. The situation was horrible, so some Zhan people started to jump into the sea water immediately after getting a little bit of sparks, ignoring other things.

Puala was so angry that his seven orifices were full of smoke, and his plan could not be implemented immediately after being messed up by the skeleton army. Why is this skeleton army so cunning, it is almost as hard to grasp as a loach, although the centipede boat Nimble and fast, but at such a distance, chasing the opponent may exhaust his sailors to death, and he may not be able to catch up with the opponent. Up to now, he has only been beaten, and he didn't even return a move to the opponent. When considering whether to change the formation again, a series of roaring sounds suddenly sounded on the sea on the left. This time, the roaring sound was many times denser than the roaring sound just now when we first joined the battle. It was almost overwhelming. So he hurriedly looked to the left, and when he saw it, he took a deep breath.

I saw that the main fleet of the Skeleton Army was approaching his left-wing fleet. At this time, the ships of the Skeleton Army almost erupted like a volcano erupting, and the sea was filled with thick smoke. Looking at the middle of the fleet on his left, there were immediately debris flying around, the masts collapsed, and the screams of his men could be vaguely heard even so far away. The entire left fleet seemed to be boiling, and many ships immediately began to flood or It simply overturned on the sea surface, a large number of Zhanren sailors fell into the water, and began to struggle on the sea surface, and the skeleton army fleet continued to approach his left wing fleet, and began to bombard them with another weapon Occupying the man's ship, his ship immediately began to burst into flames, and many ships soon ignited a raging fire.

Puala and the lieutenants around him stared dumbfounded at the fleet on the left, and Puala closed his eyes in pain. Although he made the decision to let the left fleet sacrifice, he never thought of it. His own fleet was as vulnerable as a baby in front of the Skeleton Army fleet. This style of play was no longer a war, it could be said to be a unilateral massacre. According to his initial thought, even if his left-wing fleet arrived Can't stand the opponent's fleet, at least he can hold on for some time, let him lead the fleet to eat the fleet on the left wing of the skeleton army, now it seems that he overestimated the ability of his own fleet, but underestimated the ability of the skeleton army, not only he The left-wing fleet of the Skeleton Army was not eaten, but its own left-wing fleet became a piece of fat in the opponent's mouth. The Skeleton Army can indeed be described as terrifying. Their strange weapons have never been seen by them. Its horror even surpassed the rumors, and it was only at this time that Puala really experienced the horror of the skeleton army.

"Our fleet is over!" A lieutenant murmured looking at the situation on the sea in the distance, his face was full of horror, and the expressions on the faces of the others were not at all stronger than his. Nowhere, it is a little pale.

"This battle can't be fought! It's not fair, they can stop us, but we can't fight them! It's not fair!" At this time, an officer slapped the side of the ship angrily and shouted angrily.

Puala's face was also a little pale, it was really unfair, the battle was really unfair, the opponent didn't give them a chance to fight back at all, if this went on, they would only be beaten, they couldn't catch up, they couldn't fight, they really didn't I can't fight anymore.

"Order the fleet to return to Dazhanhaikou immediately, and stop chasing the skeleton army's fleet! Hurry up!" Puala shouted suddenly, and he suddenly realized that he had made a stupid mistake, and he should never have come out to fight the skeleton army , because the Annan people have taught them a lesson. It is said that no one is an opponent of the Skeleton Army at sea. You stupid pig who ignored these examples and brought all the ships out to challenge the Skeleton Army's authority on the sea.

"General! If we retreat now, I'm afraid we will be chased by the skeleton ranks. We can't run away from them!" A subordinate who is also familiar with water warfare suddenly reminded Puala.

"I know! But we can't stay here anymore. If we continue to fight, we may not be able to go back! Don't hesitate, send an order to retreat, we will only have a chance when we return to the mouth of the river, where the enemy ships are huge , It’s inconvenient to move, our centipede boat can restrain them, their goal is to occupy the sea, and retreat quickly!” Puala suddenly understood a truth, his advantage is that he is on the centipede boat, and his centipede boat is not in the river. Only in the middle of the battle can he have the opportunity to display his combat power. In such a wide water area, he can only be beaten.

Then the war drums rang again, and after hearing the sound of the drums, those Zhanren sailors who were in a panic immediately began to turn the rudder and adjust the sails, turned around, and retreated towards the Dazhanhaikou.

"My lord! Zhanren wants to run away!" Sun Hai suddenly shouted to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi nodded, he had already seen the movement of the Zhanren fleet, so he said to Cui Yan: "Order the king to eat up these Zhanren ships, and we will turn to chase them, and order Zheng Guang and Lin Xiong to turn around and chase them quickly. Enemy soldiers, we can’t let them go back! They want to go back after they come out, they think too cheaply! I’m really worried about how to fight them in the river! They really understand our thoughts, and they ran out to deliver them to us. They pack up and give me chase! I can't let them run back!"

"Yes! These centipede boats are very powerful in the river, they are too flexible, we are really difficult to deal with!" Sun Hai nodded in agreement, and reminded Xu Yi.

So with Xu Yi's Chinese fleet as the main force, the Fubo Army fleet began to chase and kill Zhanren's fleet. It is still more than ten miles away from Dazhanhaikou. To deal with them before returning to the mouth of the river, at this time Xu Yi didn't care about the issue of melee combat or not, and ordered the speed of the boat to be accelerated, even if it collided, it would be too bumpy to get back!
A chasing and fleeing situation immediately formed on the sea. The Jiangbei ships showed their superiority at this time. The reduced bow cut through the waves, and they rushed to Zhanren's fleet as fast as galloping horses, and retreated. When the Zhan people looked at these tall skeleton army ships rolling towards them like a mountain, they all let out a sound of exclamation. The ships behind them fired, trying to block their impact, and some people simply lay on the side of the ship, only waiting for the impact to happen, and then jumped into the water to escape.

"Fire! Don't stop! Bomb them to death!" Sun Hai yelled at the soldiers lying on the deck facing the soldiers below.

As a result, the Crossbar immediately began to roar and tremble, like a fire-breathing monster. While firing hard, it desperately chased the Zhanren fleet, and then trembled again, and they ran into a Zhanren warship. The boat, the iron plow at the bow mercilessly cut open the occupant ship, and then knocked it sideways, but was immediately crushed by the crossbar, and the iron plow hit it fiercely in the middle , this unlucky Zhanren warship was immediately split into two parts, and sank into the sea water almost without bubbling, leaving only a piece of debris and falling into the water in the wake of the criss-cross ship's stern. There the sailors struggled.

The powerful artillery fire of the Crossbar finally showed its power at this time. Dozens of Leigong cannons fired continuously, from the initial volley to the scattering of whoever finished loading would fire immediately, hitting the occupying ships that appeared on its two wings. Fragments flew around, and the solid iron bullets blasted huge holes one after another on these occupying ships. Some of the occupying ships that were not thick were pierced by iron bullets, and the sea water foamed into the cabin. , soon began to sink slowly.

Not only the Crossbar, but also the other Jiangbei sea ships that followed it like tigers rushing into a flock, fiercely using all the weapons they could use to greet the occupying ships. Since it is a war, it cannot be tolerated. A trace of mercy, whether they are brave or massacred, in short, at this time, they only have enemies in their eyes, and the ships occupying the back of the palace have sunk or been set on fire, and they have hardly encountered decent resistance. Some arrows or a few fish oil cuppings were shot on the boat, but they were quickly put out by them, and they continued to rush into the center of the Zhanren fleet proudly.

Puala was about to go crazy at this time, and the journey of more than ten miles seemed endlessly long. At this time, he didn't dare to stop for a while, he had already fully understood the horror of his opponent, and his ambition when he came out had already been overwhelmed by this pass. The massacre was thrown into the vast ocean, and he no longer lost the calmness he had at the beginning, he just wanted to quickly retreat into the river mouth and get into the cover of their catapults, so that they would be safer.

(Although there are still two updates today, the number of words has reached [-], which can be regarded as a small explosion. Please use the monthly pass to reward the knot! Thank you!)
