Of the two battle camp-class ships, one was directly crushed into the water, while the other did some tricks and became riddled with holes in the blink of an eye, losing its combat effectiveness.
The ships that followed were all a little nervous and didn't know what to do for a while.
well.
The generals let out a long sigh.
Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing goods.
Occupying the channel could not withstand the collision angle of the Yulong, and it was just as Lu Yulong wanted to pass the front, and it could not withstand the intensive firepower from the opponent's side.
Whoosh.
Semaphores fluttered behind.
The Japanese pirate fleet on the right side of the character "eight" turned collectively and sailed diagonally towards the Yulong.
In an era without missiles and torpedoes, the ram can be said to be the most powerful weapon of a battleship.
But it all depends on speed.
Without speed, you can't catch up with the enemy, and without speed, you can't cut through the enemy's hull.
For the huge warrior class, it is not without its shortcomings. For example, speed and steering have always been a big problem.
Now the Japanese pirate fleet on the right side of the character "eight" rushed towards the side of the Yulong.
Anyone with a discerning eye will know that they just want to make a few holes in its relatively weak side, and at the worst, they will break the oar on its right side, causing the Yulong to lose part of its power.
A ship that loses power is just a living target. No matter how big the ship is, it will be sunk sooner or later.
Whoosh.
The speed of the Yulong did not slow down, and the soldiers waved the command flag.
When soldiers come, they will block it, and when water comes, the earth will flood it.
The battle battalion class that followed closely behind it did not hesitate to deviate from the original channel, speeding up to meet the Japanese pirate ship on the right.
"Prepare, release!"
Boo hoo hoo.
Hoo ho ho.
The heavy crossbows and trebuchets from both sides were launched continuously, roaring towards their targets.
The four general-class ships behind the Japanese pirates could be seen clearly, and the generals looked ugly.
You come and I come, and my quality is better and my quantity is greater.
Not long after, two Japanese pirate warships were seriously damaged and their speed slowed down.
Without speed, it is a fixed target.
Take advantage of his illness and kill him.
The two unlucky guys were immediately besieged by the collective. After a while, the keel began to creak and groan, and the hull of the ship was ignited with blazing fire, burning the faces of the soldiers above with despair.
Wow.
In front of him, the Yulong was moving forward in an indomitable manner, and finally the Japanese pirates' generals could no longer sit still.
The Nomura and the Tsuya opened a distance of five miles and moved toward the Yulong from the left and right.
The six ships on the left side of the character "eight" collectively blocked the front.
Hold.
Lu Yulong's bodyguard cursed, "Japanese pirates are shameless."
"General," he said urgently: "As long as our ship is slightly blocked by the six battle camp-class ships in front, if we lose speed, the Nomura and Tsuya may hit us from both sides and cut us off."
"My subordinates suggest changing direction immediately to increase the distance between the two warships."
Lu Yulong stood at the bow of the boat with an expressionless face, seemingly not hearing the words around him.
If the Yulong is equipped with a shore-based anti-sea ballistae, it can actually give it a try with the two Japanese pirate warships.
But let alone the Jade Dragon or the Protector of the Country, they cannot carry those powerful weapons.
East China Sea Barrier once tried to reluctantly install them on the Warrior class, but the deck was directly torn when winding, and it could not be started at all.
Unless the legendary Warmaster class is built in the future, it is estimated that it will not be able to accommodate this kind of weapon.
As for now, relying solely on heavy crossbows and trebuchets is basically unable to defeat enemies of the same tonnage.
If the opponent's angle hits the side of the ship hard, it is possible that the ship will sink and people will be killed.
"General," seeing the battalion standing in front of them getting closer and closer, several personal guards hurriedly said, "Change the direction. Otherwise it will be too late."
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, another violent explosion came from the direction of the dock.
Everyone was startled and couldn't help but raise their heads in search of fame.
A flash of light in the distance illuminated half of the eastern sky.
The soldiers on the Jade Dragon were deeply troubled.
They both went back and forth, firing countless heavy crossbows, fireballs and stones, but they were able to sink or damage one or two enemy warships.
And with this explosion just now, at least one battle camp class was blown to pieces.
"Send the order, don't change direction, speed up, we will run over."
"The Shigandang and Pilang are going to ram the Japanese pirates' Nomura and Jingu respectively. If they fail, the next two ships will continue."
"General!" The guards were stunned.
Use the battle camp level to collide with the war general level. If you hit it, it will indeed tear out a big hole.
The Japanese pirate on the right had the same plan before.
There's not much to say in this book.
It's just that the captain of the Breaking Waves is named Lu Ping'an, who is the eldest son of Lu Yulong in front of him.
"Why are you so dazed?" Lu Yulong shouted loudly, "Go and deliver the order."
"yes!"
The messengers shouted and waved flags.
The Shi Gandang and the Polang immediately left the fleet and aimed at the Nomura and Tsugu, which were getting closer and closer.
The Japanese pirate generals could clearly see the movement here.
The side target is the largest and the weakest point of the battleship, but at the same time, the firepower is also the most intensive.
Boo hoo hoo.
Hoo ho ho.
As soon as both sides entered the shooting range, countless heavy crossbow fireballs and stones flew over one after another.
"Open the net! Advance at full speed. All heavy crossbows will attack the opponent's mainmast and sail first."
call!
A huge fishing net suddenly opened on the bow of the boat.
The fishing net may seem thin, but its softness overcomes hardness. It can be used to block fireballs, stones, and even weaker crossbow arrows. It is not a problem.
And it’s easy to replace, so you won’t feel bad if it gets broken.
Hua Hua Hua.
Various crossbow stones flew in one after another, some hit the Breaking Waves, but more fell on the surrounding sea, stirring up waves all over the sky.
The battle camp level is not small, but the relatively vast ocean is like a leaf.
Although this leaf was attacked repeatedly and thick smoke billowed out from everywhere, it did not lose power, but instead became faster and faster.
Dry.
Someone on the Nomura was worried, "It's such a broken boat. You couldn't hit it when it was far away, but now it's close and you still can't hit it?"
"Are you all blind?"
"Aim it for me and then release it!"
Winding the string is a physical job, while aiming is a technical job.
The newly wound soldiers shook their sore arms and rolled and crawled out of the way.
As for the little soldier who was aiming at it, his eyes almost exploded.
"You know shit."
They muttered angrily, "Both ships have increased their speed now. Hitting is abnormal, but missing is normal."
It’s understandable that it’s difficult to hit from a distance, but it’s equally difficult to hit when you’re close, and the closer you get, the harder it is to hit.
Because the War Commander class is much taller than the War Battalion class, the most powerful heavy crossbow installed on the upper deck cannot be aimed at it. Only by opening the gun positions in the cabin below can we continue to attack.
But there's a danger here.
If the opponent's crossbowman is so good at archery and shoots something directly into the cabin to detonate the gunpowder and kerosene stored inside, it will be self-destruction.
Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, the number of gun emplacements in the cabin below is large but relatively small, and thick sandbags are piled behind as a barrier.
However, the consequence is that the crossbows here are not very powerful.
They are quite effective at attacking small ships below the battle group level, but they are somewhat powerless against battle camp level ships.
Therefore, at a long distance, the war general's attack on the battalion level is most effective.
Once they are close, it is more cost-effective to let battle battalions of the same tonnage compete with each other.
However, as weapons of war, ships are not without close defense capabilities.
Zhizhizhi.
Huge logs and ferocious rolling stones were lifted up.
As long as the enemy ship comes close to a certain range, it will be smashed directly, and the power is amazing.
But with the opponent's current speed and huge inertia, even if the rolling logs and rocks hit the enemy, he would still be hit hard on the side.
Lu Pingan's voice on the Breaking Waves was calm, "Don't panic, continue to put out the fire and repair the ship."
With his war camp class Bo Wokou and his war general class ship.
