Chapter 1368 Fierce fighting
The cannibal had more than 30 large sea ships, and their troops were twice that of the Tang army.
Originally, Mu Aweiye was sure to win, so he should consider how to mess with the Tang people and let them experience the feeling of catching a cat and mouse.
However, as soon as the ships on both sides approached, Tang Ren gave him a blow.
Seeing that more than half of the soldiers on the deck fell down in just a short time, Mu Aweiye was completely confused.
What's going on?
However, these casualties did not intimidate Muaweiye.
Instead, it aroused the blood in his heart.
As a general who had never failed in the Great Food Empire, Muaweiye's personal martial arts value was still very high.
He is not short of warriors around him.
Even though half of the manpower has been lost, he feels that victory will ultimately belong to the cannibalism.
At this time, the ships on both sides had already approached to a certain level, and it was said that you had me and I had you.
"Take the hooks, lay the boards, and prepare for the battle!"
Riding the flying crossbow arrows, Muaweiye came on stage and shouted.
At this time, we can see the courage of the cannibal.
If ordinary soldiers of foreign countries were stunned by crossbow arrows, they would basically be killed by surrender.
But the cannibalism is different.
Although his face was confused, under the command of the generals, everyone quickly regained their courage and began to throw hooks on the Tang Dynasty ships, preparing to connect the two ships into one.
In that case, you can fully exert the combat power of the cannibal.
Although the Tang army's crossbows have been improved, the shooting efficiency has been much higher.
But after the ship approached a certain level, its disadvantages were also exposed.
That is, it is troublesome to adjust the direction and there is not enough time at all.
So the power immediately dropped greatly.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not have any other way except relying on crossbows.
"Allah! Go!"
Soon, a ship was connected to the big cannibal ship.
The person who was still alive on the other party's deck immediately rushed over with a big knife.
However, what greeted them was not the swords of the Tang Dynasty, but the crossbow.
Another toothache sound was heard on the deck.
Just now, he wanted to let Tangren see his brave cannibalism, but he was shot by a crossbow and fell down with unwillingness.
A few steps, it's really a few steps away.
But just these few steps away, the lives of a large number of cannibals were killed.
Mu Aweiye, who could see the scene in front of him clearly, his eyes were about to pop out.
He was angry!
When has he been so depressed over the years?
"ah!"
After a loud roar, Muaweiye was about to rush up in person.
But Hassan next to him pulled him tightly and refused to let him go forward.
As a businessman, Hassan no longer has the courage to rush forward.
Not peeing your pants is already a very good performance.
"General, the fleet cannot be without your command!"
"Yes! General, among the chaos, there are no arrows, so you must not take risks."
The guards beside Hassan and Muaweiye pulled him tightly and prevented him from rushing towards the Tang Dynasty ships.
On my own boat, there is a huge shield to protect it, and there is no danger for the time being.
But if you rushed over, the Tang people had all kinds of crossbow arrows, which was really scary.
"The Tang people are despicable, they are really despicable. If they have the ability to fight with us, they always rely on crossbows and arrows, what kind of warriors are they?"
Muaweiye was pulled over and did not continue to rush forward.
He is not really the kind of military general who only shows off his power, otherwise he would have died long ago and would not have died again.
...
"Qiwa, these great cannibals are really brave and fearless. They are the Eastern Turkic people at their peak, do they have this courage?"
Zhou Erfu was not complacent because he successfully used the bed crossbow, crossbow, and hand crossbow, which caused wave after wave of attack on the cannibal.
As an excellent general, Zhou Erfu is also good at summarizing issues on the battlefield.
Obviously, in the battle in front of us, the fighting will of the great cannibal is worthy of admiration.
"So far, more than half of the cannibals have been killed or injured. If it were other teams, they would have collapsed long ago.
No wonder they were able to successfully conquer so many countries, and rose to become a powerful country in just twenty years.
In the past, my subordinates only heard that the cannibals were brave in fighting, but they had never seen it personally. Now they have gained knowledge."
Only one-third of the cannibals left is obviously impossible to be a rival to Tang Jun.
So Zhou Erfu and Yang Qiwa were in a relatively relaxed mood.
"After this battle, we must carefully study the combat methods of the cannibals, and we estimate that we will continue to fight with them in the future."
Zhou Erfu looked at the battle scene not far away and did not think that these people had no combat power because the cannibal suffered a great loss at the beginning.
On the contrary, when he saw that the Great Cannibal suffered such heavy losses, he was able to take the initiative to kill the Tang ships so bravely. Zhou Erfu's vigilance against the enemy of the Great Cannibal Empire suddenly increased several levels.
This is an opponent that cannot be ignored.
It is also a respectable opponent.
"Even if we win this battle, the losses will probably not be small. In the future, we really need to think carefully about how to better deal with these big cannibals who are not afraid of death."
Yang Qiwa can almost feel what Zhou Erfu could see.
"Fortunately, we changed into a brand new big knife in time, which seemed much better than the ones used by big cannibals."
Since the steam forging press came out, various workshops immediately introduced related equipment.
As a workshop for making big swords, it is naturally no exception.
With the addition of the steam engine, the quality of the forged large knife has obviously reached a higher level.
Originally, the steelmaking level of Datang was the world's leading position. With the addition of the steam forging press, the popularity of fine steel-made big swords has increased to all soldiers.
This is actually very obvious to improve combat effectiveness.
Just like now, a big cannibal and a Tang man cut against each other. After several fierce attacks, the big cannibal's knife was broken!
The scene where both sides were evenly matched suddenly changed.
The big cannibal who had not yet fully reacted suddenly found that he had been stabbed in the neck.
There are many similar scenes.
In this way, although the cannibals attacked desperately, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were not bad at all.
With the advantage of swords, the opponent jumped to the deck of his ship to fight, which was considered a home battle.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the situation began to be one-sided.
This naval battle with a relatively important historical significance has basically been clear.
