"General, a fleet is coming from about thirty miles to the west. Two general-class ships and thirty-five battle camp-class ships. The flagship is written Lu."
"It turns out to be this little bug Lu Yulong," Ishikawa Taki laughed, "an old friend."
After laughing, he looked at the hourglass next to him, his face a little gloomy.
Only a short time after launching the attack, Lu Yulong brought an almost complete fleet over, which was very fast.
It shows that the opponent, from the general down to the soldiers, is always ready to set off, and that the fleet is always in good condition.
This is a strong enemy.
"The rear army will fight immediately, and we can hold them back. Continue the attack here."
Flags are flying.
Zhizhizhi.
The four general-class ships and sixteen battle camp-class ships located on the rear and west side turned around and faced Lu Yulong's fleet.
Jade Dragon.
"General, the Japanese pirates have formed a figure eight formation. Should we go around in a different direction?"
The bow of a ship is usually the hardest, and the targets on both sides of the ship are large and relatively weak. If the left and right sides are attacked at the same time, it is easy for the ship to sink and kill people.
Lu Yulong seemed to have never heard of it.
The bow of the Yulong beneath me faced the direction of Jinlongtan Pier and drove directly over.
The sea is not as close as the land, and thirty miles is not close. With the frantic paddling of many sailors, the fleet cut through the waves and soon arrived in front of the eight characters set by the Japanese pirates.
"The enemy is coming, prepare for war." The generals on both sides shouted reminders, staring at each other's movements.
The jade dragon orders the flags to fly.
Make an "eight" figure, right? Then destroy the left one.
Hua Hua Hua.
The fleet behind them quickly formed an inverted triangle. After adjusting the angle, with the Yulong as the tip, they rushed towards the Japanese fleet on the left.
"Heavy crossbow preparation. The target is the first battle camp-level main and auxiliary mast, release it!"
call--
The huge crossbow string was activated, making a piercing scream.
Eight heavy crossbows flew out instantly.
Although the Warlord class is large, it is only because of its limited hull that it cannot carry the huge ballistae on the shore.
But Yun Chui's weapons are still much stronger than those of the Japanese pirates. The heavy crossbow here can already launch an attack before the enemy has entered the range.
boom!
The battleship shuddered, and its main and auxiliary masts were instantly reduced to ashes.
After a while, the soldiers on the Japanese pirate ship finally escaped death and stood firm.
Looking at the Jade Dragon's increasingly larger hull and the ferocious iron collision angle on the bow opposite them, they suppressed their fear, but their hands and feet were still somewhat disobedient.
"General," one of the guards looked panicked, "What should we do?"
Yun Chui people don't talk about martial ethics.
Yamato's Warlord class is a treasure, with four ships behind it. The ramming angle of the ship's bow is only covered with a thin layer of iron. It looks mighty, but it is difficult to be used for practical purposes.
As the flagship, the Jade Dragon not only took the lead in rushing forward, but the collision angle of the ship's bow was also completely made of dark black iron.
With the Yulong's huge size and current speed, as long as it hits the side of the battle camp class ship under them, it will not just break a big hole, it will be cut into two pieces without any problem.
The Japanese pirate general did not answer, and kept looking at the messenger who had just climbed onto the mainmast wreckage again.
It's just that the other party never made any move.
"That's all." The general knew that his ship had been abandoned, "Adjust the angle so that the bow of the ship is facing the Jade Dragon."
The opponent's speed has increased, and they can't escape without the mast. The most important thing is that the commander behind them did not let them escape.
He could only skimp on personnel matters.
"Regardless of the target, launch all the heavy crossbows and fishing nets on the ship. Everyone turns on the kerosene and gunpowder. When the Yulong hits, they will immediately light it up."
"yes!"
However, commands are one thing and operations are another.
Heavy crossbows are large in size and occupy a large area, and most of them are placed on both sides. The bow of the ship is narrow, and only five of them are placed.
Moreover, it takes half a day to load one. At the current speed of the Yulong, they can only fire one round at most.
Boo hoo hoo.
Five crossbow arrows flew out from the bow and hit the Yulong's horn and sail heavily.
There was a big hole in the sail, and in the blink of an eye a soldier from above came down to replace it. As for the collision angle, a string of sparks were wiped out, leaving only a white mark.
"Nima!" the general cursed reluctantly.
However, the Yulong, which was much taller, had blocked the sunlight in the west, and crashed heavily into the bow of the battleship with a loud bang.
Boom boom boom!
The kerosene and gunpowder in the cabin were ignited, causing a series of explosions in an instant.
However, the Jade Dragon ran over it without any notice, and with bursts of explosions and dazzling sparks, directly pressed the ship into the sea.
On the bow of the ship, Lu Yulong held on to the side of the ship with an expressionless face, "Check the hull and speed up again. The heavy crossbow on the right is aimed at the approaching ships and shoots their mainmasts."
"Yes!" The subordinates immediately performed their duties.
After a while, a soldier ran up from the cabin sweating profusely and said, "General, the hull is intact and no damage or leakage has been found."
Lu Yulong nodded, not feeling much surprised.
He was as familiar with the ships under him as his left and right hands, and the battle camp-class ship that was just crushed into the sea had a series of explosions on the huge collision angle.
Feel free to fry them.
Hua Hua Hua.
The oars moved, and the Yulong continued to rush towards the second ship.
There is a wide distance between ships.
When the Japanese pirates' second battle camp class saw the fate of the brothers in front, their feet became weak.
On the surface, there is only one level difference between the war general and the war camp, but one can be said to be one in the sky and the other in the earth in terms of strength.
In front of the Jade Dragon, the brothers in front were like paper, disappearing on the vast sea in an instant. It seemed that they did not cause any harm to each other.
what to do?
Not only are his subordinates asking themselves, but the general is also asking himself.
Seeing that the Yulong was entering the firing range, he shouted to the messenger: "Ask the general quickly."
The soldier knew that the situation was critical and quickly waved the flag.
Then a long time passed, but there was no response at all.
The general understood instantly.
The Jade Dragon chose to rush towards them, so they were using it to slow down Ting Yun so that the fleet on the other side of the Eight Characters could launch an attack from the side.
There are only sixteen battle camp-class ships, divided into two rows, with eight ships on each side.
How can I stop these giant beasts in front of me with my eight junk ships?
For a time, the general couldn't help but dislike his own fleet.
But he soon came to his senses and "protected our mast, moved hard, and slowed them down."
"yes!"
The Japanese pirate soldiers were preparing to wait for death like the brothers in front. When they heard the command from the vanguard, they all became energetic and started to operate quickly.
After all, the heavy crossbow requires manual aiming, and it is bulky and difficult to rotate. As long as the target ship moves, it will be difficult for even the most skilled aimer to hit it.
Lu Yulong saw this and smiled.
It doesn't matter if you move in an S-shaped position or in a B-shaped position.
As long as I let my fleet continue to sail towards the dock, you can hide as you like, and it will save me a lot of effort.
Whoosh!
The crossbows and fireballs from both sides were going back and forth, and occasionally they could hit one or two, but they basically didn't cause much damage.
The direction of the Yulong remained unchanged, its speed became faster and faster, and it drove straight forward.
The general of the second ship was dumbfounded for a moment.
He slapped his head and then came to his senses.
The Yunchui people are not here to get rid of these miscellaneous people, but to go to the dock to rescue them.
"Quick, quick, quick." The general jumped up and down anxiously, "Catch up and stop them."
However, as soon as his ship approached, crossbows of various sizes were already aimed at them.
