After pacing back and forth on the deck a few times, the sailors at the lookout shouted again: "Deputy commander, it's the young master, twenty warships with the flag of our navy are at the head, but the nearly a hundred ships that follow behind have no flags. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The deputy commander waved his hand disapprovingly and muttered: "What kind of flag can a major fly, and now it's a smuggling activity, who will make a big splash." As he spoke, he shouted: "All attention, immediately set up a welcome formation, and all the sailors on the deck will assemble in formation!" ”

At this moment, the lookout hand habitually glanced around, and immediately saw thick smoke coming from the dock in the distance, and immediately reported this information.

And the deputy commander, who was ready to make a good impression on the young master, didn't care, in his mind, whether it was a fire on the dock or a rebellion, the troops in the city could easily solve it.

Whether it is fighting fires or quelling rebellions, their own naval forces are helpless on land, and there are no enemy ships anyway, so why bother? So put it aside.

On the flagship of the young master of the bright moon, Zhao Hu glanced at the bright moon sailors who were lined up on both sides of the distance and made a greeting queue, and said with a smile: "It seems that the other party has not noticed that we have become enemies at all. ”

"Hee-hee, my lord, isn't this just the right time for us to attack them? You can see they're all in a welcome formation. Zhou Wenle said hehehe.

Zhao Hu turned his head to Kaihai and asked, "Are the siege crossbows and catapults ready?" ”

Kai Hai hurriedly said, "My lord, it is ready, as long as you give an order, ten thousand arrows will be fired immediately." ”

Although Zhou Wen and the others looked down on Kaihai as a prisoner, they still recognized Zhao Hu's appointment of this guy to be in charge of the siege crossbows and catapults on twenty warships, after all, among the captives, he was the only one who was the best at this.

Of course, it is impossible for this guy to betray, because he is only responsible for directing the work, and he has no power to operate at all, so there is no need to worry that he will throw crossbow arrows and stones at his own people.

After a while, he could already see the overall outline of the Bright Moon City Water Army, and Kaihai, who looked at the distance, found that Zhao Hu had not issued an order, and couldn't help but remind: "My lord, it has already entered the firing range." ”

Zhao Hu didn't say anything, so he could only keep his mouth shut obediently.

After a while, the figures of the soldiers on the battleship of Mingyue City could be seen vaguely, Kai Hai was covered with cold sweat, trembling and reminded again: "My lord, if you don't attack again, the other party's lookout will be able to see that the siege crossbows and catapults on our deck have been opened. ”

Zhao Hu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then aim at it." ”

After receiving the order, Kaihai, who was relieved, seemed to have changed his person, looked at the warship on the opposite side with a serious face, and then lowered his head and said after fiddling with a siege crossbow and catapult: "The elevation angle of the siege crossbow is thirty degrees, the ruler is three, the front row of catapults is moved back one degree, the string is five, the rear row is six, and the ship with the flag of the deputy commander is hanging in front of the target." ”

The herald looked at Kaihai and then at Zhao Hu, and when he saw Zhao Hu nodding, he ran to give the order, and at the same time couldn't help muttering in his heart: "My lord really believes in this flagship captain, he has only been taking refuge for a day, and he is not afraid that he will deliberately make a mistake to make us miss the blow?" ”

Of course, if you think so, you should run to the stern of the ship and wave the flag to the nearby warship, and faithfully pass on the information, and the battleship heralds close to the sides of the flagship immediately pass on the order.

This is also a helpless thing, if you put a flag on the lookout, although it is relatively fast, the opposing battleship will definitely be able to see it.

As for why the other party can understand it? Please, Zhao Hu doesn't understand the sea flags at all, and these flags are all open and unified systems on the Southeast Peninsula, as long as they are the navy of the Southeast Peninsula, they can understand it.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still rogue sailors who had been born as sailors and standard-bearers, I am afraid that they could only use shouting to pass orders. Using the captured sailors as standard-bearers? Aren't you afraid that they will join the enemy?

Zhou Wen held a Lingqi to Zhao Hu with both hands, after Zhao Hu took the Lingqi, thought about it, handed it to Kaihai, and subconsciously took over the Lingqi Kaihai, trembled all over, and hurriedly knelt down and held the Lingqi to refuse.

"I don't know naval warfare, let alone the use of siege crossbows and catapults, so it's more reassuring to leave it to you professionals." Zhao Hu waved his hand and smiled, then turned around and ignored Kaihai.

"Still not up yet? All of them are waiting for your orders! Zhou Wen said coldly.

Kaihai, who was originally hot because of Zhao Hu's words, immediately shuddered, hurriedly kowtowed and got up, and then walked to the side carefully, Zhou Wen and Sun Jie followed and stood nearby, and their hands were secretly pressed on the weapon, they were afraid that Kaihai would make a ghost.

Kaihai also paid attention to the two people behind him, his heart trembled, he took a deep breath, looked at the warship opposite, gritted his teeth, waved the command flag, and shouted: "Release!" ”

The deputy commander of the Mingyue Navy said with a solemn face: "Order the standard-bearer to play the welcome flag." ”

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly found that the young master's twenty warships flew out of a dense small black spot......

What is that?

The question was answered as the little black dots enlarged, huge crossbow arrows and skull-sized stones! It is projected from the standard weapons of the Bright Moon Navy warship!

"Why?"

As soon as the deputy commander came up with this idea, he was very unlucky to be pierced on the deck by crossbow arrows, and he couldn't hide at all, and the dense crossbow arrows and stones completely enveloped the ship.

It's normal to have such a density, who told this warship to fly the flag of his deputy commander, and also to stand in the first place in order to see the young master in order to shoot the horse?

Such a conspicuous target, of course, fell into the eyes of the knowledgeable shooters on Zhao Hu's side, so they all aimed their weapons at this warship.

The unified attack of twenty warships was so powerful that a single salvo knocked the deputy commander's seat into a sieve, and the incoming sea water quickly pulled it into the deep sea.

Zhou Wen and Sun Jie immediately jumped up and shouted loudly, while Kaihai looked at the flagship in the distance in a daze, until Sun Jie patted him on the shoulder and shouted: "You are really powerful, you killed the other party's flagship in one go!" Hey, don't be stunned, it's going to war! ”

When he came to his senses, he didn't know why, his face was red, his eyes were shining, and he raised the command flag with a neat movement, and the shooters immediately quickly put their weapons in place.

Getting the signal that all the shooters were in position, Kaihai waved the command flag again, and the sound of "Release!" He also shouted in a hearty way!

The screams and the sound of the hull tearing made the other Mingyue sailors stunned.

They all knew that the twenty warships flying their own flags on the opposite side were the young master's personal guards, but why did the young master attack the deputy commander?

Even if there is any reason to destroy the deputy commander, there is no need to be so arrogant, as long as there is an order, someone will naturally cut off the head of the deputy commander and send it to him.

While they were making a fool, a second round of attacks came.

This time, the warships on Zhao Hu's side, under the command of some rogues who had experience in naval forces, were divided into five groups, and a group of four warships aimed at one to attack, while the ships behind them were covered with patches, and they rushed forward to prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

The second round of attacks once again made the five warships of the Mingyue Navy ineffective, and the remaining warships only came to their senses at this time and began to move the siege crossbows and catapults on the deck to counterattack.

But who called the deputy commander who hung up not long ago, stupidly gave an order for all the personnel to line up on the deck to welcome.

This order not only made the warship lose power and vision, but also made the deck chaotic, and when the sailors ran back to the pulp room, climbed the lookout, pulled up the sails, raised the rudder, and opened the siege crossbow and catapult, Zhao Hu's side had already made more than ten warships of the Mingyue Navy lose their combat effectiveness, and the ships in hand-to-hand combat were also close.

The Bright Moon Navy, which has lost its unified command, can only fight on its own, and the great thing is that the two ships adjacent to each other help each other.

On Zhao Hu's side, twenty warships attacked from afar, and covered the hand-to-hand combat ships to come up.

If it was just a simple long-range attack, the Mingyue Navy would still have the confidence to kill this group of enemies after the panic, but after more than a hundred hand-to-hand combat boats on Zhao Hu's side pounced on it for hand-to-hand combat, the feeling of enemy ships in front and behind and left was enough to make dozens of warships of the Mingyue Navy realize that they were now fighting alone and had been surrounded by regiments.

This psychological blow can make the sailors lose their fighting spirit even more than the bloody scene.

Soon the naval battle ended, and Zhao Hu, who had the upper hand, was victorious.

Counting the results of the battle, the Mingyue Navy was sunk seventeen ships, thirty-one half-crippled ones were captured, and none of the warships were intact. There were more than 2,000 captured prisoners, and the main reason for capturing so many prisoners was that the Mingyue Navy lost its fighting spirit, and after fighting hard, they surrendered when they found that the general trend had gone.

However, even with a great advantage, Zhao Hu's side was still sunk by more than 20 hand-to-hand combat ships, and even more were disabled, and nearly 1,000 people were killed.

However, most of the dead were sailors from rogue backgrounds, and a small number of militiamen, Zhao Hu's servant soldiers just lost one or two unlucky eggs, and these two unlucky ones were still shot by stray bullets.

The loss of the servant soldiers was so small, it was completely because Zhao Hu did not let them participate in hand-to-hand combat, but only shot arrows at close range, after all, letting these steppe people fight naval battles was equivalent to sending them to death.

After the inventory was completed, Zhao Hu did not stop long, leaving ten warships to deal with the aftermath, and did not even occupy the military port, and directly led the fleet to the dock with thick smoke.

Looking at it like that, you can see that the people who sent people to contact Maude and Nangong Dun last time have been effective, and of course they must take advantage of the situation to capture it in one fell swoop. As for the military port? Without warships, this military port is equivalent to Zhao Hu's.
