After his main ship was destroyed by the Yulong Fleet last time, Doi Yuuto had no choice but to take possession of the only remaining Warlord-class ship in the fleet, change its name, and make it his own main ship again.
"What's going on with the ships in front? Why haven't they approached the shore for so long?"
You can't build a pontoon bridge without getting close to the shore.
Without enough pontoons, no matter how many soldiers the ships brought, they would not be able to play any role and could only be beaten on the ship.
"Back to the general, the battleship at the front has just been violently attacked by the Yunchui people, but the damage is not very serious. All the generals have sent messages, saying that they have been working hard to dock. I believe it won't take half an hour for the first battleship to arrive.
A floating bridge can be built."
Doi Yongren raised his head and looked at the sky, feeling a little at ease.
"Yunchui people are always full of tricks and tricks. Let the soldiers on the front line land as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."
"yes!"
Dohi Yuto's order came to the front, and the commanders of each ship immediately pressed harder.
"Don't worry about what the smoke is. It's just choking and won't kill anyone. Everyone returns to their posts immediately and continues westward!"
"yes!"
Soon the battleship accelerated towards the shore again.
Boom boom boom.
The farther west these battle camps go, the more attacks they receive.
But compared to the huge hull of the battle camp class, stones and fireballs the size of millstones are still not enough to look at. Unless they hit the waterline of the ship's side or the keel of the hull by chance, they will only have a few more holes, which can be said to be basically harmless.
Huh!
Tanaka, who was rushing at the front, looked at the sky hesitantly, "It's a bit weird."
So far, although his warship has been attacked many times, all of them were stone balls or fire bombs, but not a single crossbow arrow.
"General," the little guard next to him said at a loss, "this is a good thing."
Yunchui's ballista is much stronger than Yamato's.
Especially the anti-sea-breaking crossbow, a weapon so powerful that even warrior-level warriors would shy away from it.
"It's indeed a good thing." Tanaka nodded, "We are very close to the shore. I just wonder why they have weapons but don't use them."
hey-hey.
An idea flashed in the little guard's mind, and he laughed so hard that the corners of his mouth almost split to the back of his head.
"General, judging from my subordinates, Yun Chui Ren probably doesn't want to use it but just can't use it."
"Oh?" Tanaka's eyes flashed.
"General, I wonder if you have heard that three or four years ago, there was an earthquake in Qingshi County, which is rich in iron ore in Yunchui. All the mines collapsed, and most of the miners were unable to escape."
"I've heard a little bit!" Tanaka nodded silently.
hey-hey.
The little guard smiled, "That's it."
"In the past few years, they have fought against Nanfeng and quelled the rebellion in the four western counties. Later, they also fought in Baekje and Dingxi counties for so long. I guess the iron in Yunchui people's hands has been used up for a long time.
"
Having said this, the little guard pointed to the shore.
"Besides, the people on the shore are just some local garrison soldiers who are not loved by their fathers and mothers. The frontier troops are not enough, and the weapons assigned to them must be very few. I feel that the groups of ballistae erected on the shore may not be enough.
They are empty airs, purely used to scare us."
Tanaka was noncommittal, just stroking his chin and staring closely at the huge group of ballistae in the distance.
After a while, he slapped the young guard heavily on the shoulder.
"Inform all friendly ships in the surrounding area not to stop. We will not build a pontoon bridge and go directly to the shore to test the reaction of the opponent's ballistae. If what you say is true, then quickly inform General Doi at the rear of the situation."
Without the threat of those large and small heavy crossbows, breaking crossbows, especially anti-sea breaking crossbows, with the water depth of Dinghai pier, not to mention the war battalion level and even the war general level can directly dock.
In that case, why would there be any need to build a broken pontoon bridge that can break if hit and be destroyed if burned?
The officers and men of each ship can jump directly from the bow to the shore.
"Yes!" the ordering soldier responded, waving the order flag loudly.
soon,
Winter winter winter.
The battle battalions that rushed to the front beat their passionate war drums one after another, and the warships rushed directly towards the shore despite the continuous stone balls and fire bombs on the shore.

ashore.
Numerous crossbow vehicles and larger sea-defense crossbows were strung up in the morning, and the long and large crossbow arrows were pointed in the direction of the sea with a cold light.
The soldiers pricked their ears and stared nervously at the vanguard.
Someone couldn't help but say: "General, the Japanese pirate ship is very close. Why don't we start fighting?"
"There's no rush!" The forward said calmly.
Buzz
The soldiers almost jumped up.
Can you not be in a hurry?
Heavy crossbows and broken crossbows are not portable bows and arrows. They are powerful and bulky, and cannot adjust the attack angle as desired.
At this time, the shore was high and the sea was low, and there were fortifications built by my brothers in front. Once the enemy got too close, their crossbows would be unable to aim.
Perhaps seeing the anxiety in the soldiers' eyes, Shangfeng explained, "Everyone is calm, the Lord Commander said he wanted to test a new weapon."
front.
Wu Baichang walked around the fortifications, checking combat readiness and motivating the soldiers.
"Brothers, the Lord Lieutenant said that he wanted to test the power of these rubbers in actual combat. Therefore, the trebuchet on the head did not use its full strength, and the crossbow arrows were even more sparse."
"The Japanese pirates will come directly to us in a while, so don't panic. There will never be too many enemies in the first batch. Just shoot them down honestly."
Having said this, he banged the rubber blocks piled high in front of him with his saber.
"There will be several times more enemies in the second and third rounds, but it's not a big deal. Then we'll let the little devils have a taste of their power. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" All around responded in a cheery voice.
Hua Hua Hua.
The sound of neat paddling sounded.
The Tanaka took the lead and drove towards the shore without hesitation.
Tanaka stood behind the barrier and stared closely at the attack streaking across the sky.
After a while, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Among the dense attacks in the sky, almost all were large and small stones and fireballs. Occasionally, crossbow arrows passed by, but compared with the stones and fireballs, they were nothing to worry about.
"Inform General Doi of our findings immediately."
"yes!"
Not long after, Dohiyong in the rear received the news from Tanaka, and he immediately beamed with joy.
Soon he calmed down again, "The guards on the shore are seriously lacking in crossbow arrows? Are you sure you didn't read Tanaka's semaphore incorrectly?"
There's nothing that Yoshito Toichi can do about it.
He suffered a big loss from Lu Yulong last time because of his carelessness.
As a result, he not only destroyed his main ship, but also ruined Ishikawa Taki's long-term plan.
If it weren't for some internal connections, he would have been beheaded long ago.
This time, Ishikawa Taki sent him to attack Dinghai Wharf, which gave him the opportunity to make up for his mistakes. If something went wrong, he could just jump into the sea and drown himself without Ishikawa Taki saying anything.
"Back to the general," the messenger nodded seriously, knowing the power, "My subordinates have repeatedly confirmed the message sent by General Tianzhong. This matter is absolutely true."
call.
Doi Yongto breathed a sigh of relief.
"Immediately order all battalions to attack. Try to capture Dinghai Pier in one fell swoop tonight."
"Yes!" The messenger left.
"General," Yun Chui, seeing the vast land and abundant resources, was about to open his warm embrace. The little guard next to him couldn't help but feel a little itchy, "What about us generals?"
Well.
Doi Yongto thought for a while, then raised his head and stared coldly to the west.
"Each War-Admiral class ship is a treasure of Yamato. According to this general's order, in order to avoid accidents, each War-Admiral-class vessel is not allowed to dock without authorization and must be anchored outside the range of the anti-sea breaking crossbow."
"Let's wait."
Let’s wait until the situation on the shore becomes clearer.
