Chapter 251: Two Consecutive Collisions
"Report, bow safe!"
"Report, port side safe!"
"Report, starboard safe!"
"Report, safe stern!
"Report, bilge safety!" ”
"Full speed up!" Zhao Yu listened to the returns of various positions, and ordered again without hesitation. Just after sinking an enemy ship, the morale of the whole ship increased greatly, the echo of the command was raised by a few decibels, and the oarsmen of the Spirit shouted in unison and rowed hard, and the warship took advantage of the unlost momentum to raise the speed to the highest, and quickly overtook the two dragon ships of their own side.
"Return to the rudder, turn the rudder right for three points, and target the stern of the enemy ship directly in front of you." This time, Zhao Yu targeted one of the two enemy ships besieging the Brave.
The Brave was sandwiched between two enemy ships and entangled in enemy ships. The successful enemy fired indiscriminately with bows and crossbows, but neither rockets nor cold arrows had any effect, and they could not hurt anyone at all, but were hit by the ballistas in several large holes. However, it has to be said that the Yuan army had a lot of experience in water warfare, and when they saw that the bow attack was ineffective, they pressed the bow of the Brave forward with one warship, while the other was half of the hull back against the stern of the Brave, trying to force it to stop.
Due to the proximity, the Warrior's oars could not be fully deployed, and could only row slightly, which greatly reduced its speed and made it even more difficult to get rid of the entanglement of the enemy ships. Even more irritating is the fact that the power of the ballista at close range is greatly reduced, and even if there are many holes carved into the enemy ship, it will not be able to sink. And these two enemy ships are obviously determined to capture this 'sea monster', regardless of the damage to the hull to lean on and fight hard.
"Return to the rudder, turn the rudder left for one point."
"Return to the rudder, turn the rudder right in half."
"Return to the rudder, go straight, turn the rudder left for three minutes." ……
Zhao Hao stared intently at the enemy ship, and couldn't help but silently choose the angle of impact in his heart and adjust the direction of his ship. He knew that this ramming was no better than the previous one, so the Brave was caught between two enemy ships, and if the point of focus was deviated, the enemy ships would suddenly approach the Brave, and if they didn't get it, they would be damaged with it. So it's not just a personal job, it's also a technical job, and the boat is moving, and it's affected by the waves, and the point of impact is constantly changing, so he has to constantly adjust.
Zhao Hao kept giving orders, and there was no other noise in the cabin except for the sound of echoes and orders. Wang Meng, the deputy general who was also on the command platform, was also nervous, his hands kept rubbing on his body, his eyes were staring at the approaching enemy ships, he understood that His Royal Highness was trying to relieve the siege of the Brave, and he knew that this was also quite risky, their training could be described as harsh, but they had never done such a dangerous action.
But Wang Meng also admired His Highness very much in his heart, his judgment of the situation on the battlefield was very accurate, the password was clear and unambiguous, and he did not drag the mud and water to destroy the front army, and no one could do better than him in this situation. At this time, the enemy ship also found that it had been bitten by the tail, and immediately opened its bow and arrows, and the only exposed observation window became the main target, and a dense rain of arrows rushed in. Although he knew that there was an iron net in front of him, he couldn't help but bow his head and dodge.
"Get out!" Seeing the chaotic arrows, the guards immediately put up a shield array again, and this time Zhao Yu didn't ink with them, just a word.
"Stand down!" The guards had never seen His Highness's stern face, and they didn't know what to do for a while, so they all looked at Ni Liang. And he only said two words, and then picked up a round shield and stood beside His Highness.
Wang Meng was surprised when he saw this, and he felt even more embarrassed. He has been in battle, and he has seen real swords and guns, but he still can't look directly at the arrows and is indifferent, but His Royal Highness can still command calmly, but he has the demeanor of a general at a young age, and he can't help but sit upright. And His Highness's performance made everyone who saw it on the ship solemn, and if they were so handsome, what were they afraid of!
"Full speed, steadfast the rudder, keep course, and be ready to collide!" After a swell, Zhao Hao grasped the next wave and gave the order to collide before the next wave arrived.
"Close the gun, close the oars, and ram!" The Warrior approached the enemy ship, and Zhao Yu gave the final order to attack. This time, however, he did not close his eyes as he watched the ship pass over the Brave, crashing into the left rear of the enemy stern in front of him in a daze, and the powerful impact of the lower angle of impact smashed the stern rudder of the enemy ship directly, and then pierced into the bilge, and the bow of the ship also destroyed the rudder. Broken wood flew, and the enemy soldiers on board fell into the water one after another under the huge shock.
"Poof, happy!" The stirred water splashed into the cabin, splashing Zhao Hao's body, he spit out the seawater in his mouth and shouted.
"Left full rudder, accelerate!" At this moment, the enemy ship rushed out to the right front under the impact, and the Warrior paused under the force of the stop before rushing forward again, and the two ships broke away at this moment, and the angle of attack was withdrawn. Zhao Hao seized this brief opportunity and immediately ordered a left turn to bypass the bow of the Brave.
"It's too dangerous!" The ship swerved sharply to the left, its hull tilted sharply to the left, and the people were unsteady on their feet. Accelerating through corners is a taboo in manoeuvring the ship, and if you don't get it right, you will capsize, but the Brave is still moving forward, and if you don't do it well, you will stop and crash into yourself. But at this time, a row of waves happened to arrive, and the warship was able to avoid the bow of the Brave with its strength, which made Wang Meng break out in a cold sweat.
"Your Highness, don't you dare to do this next time!" Looking at the enemy ship that had been heavily damaged in the tail was pushed dozens of paces by the impact force, the bow of the ship was raised high in the water in the rear compartment and slowly sank into the sea. Wang Meng admired His Highness's quick reaction and accurate timing, but it also made him tremble.
"Hehe, let's do it again!" Zhao Hao looked at Wang Meng and smiled.
"Destroy the enemy!" Two enemy ships were sunk in succession, and the morale of the Warrior was raised again, and the whole ship would echo in a loud voice.
"Return to the rudder, target the enemy ship in front of you!" Zhao Yu saw that the army's heart was available, and gave another order. Although the brave in front escaped the flanking attack, he was still entangled by another enemy ship on the starboard side, and the enemy approached and tried to use the old tactic of jumping gang to get on the boat in hand-to-hand combat, but was stabbed by the iron cone on the top of the ship, and luckily landed on the side of the ship that was just able to get off his feet and was stabbed by the spear sticking out of the porthole. Although the Brave was temporarily worry-free, it was still difficult to get rid of for a while, and he could only relieve it again.
Under the command of Zhao Hao, the Warrior carried out another beautiful collision, and at the same time severely damaged the rear of the port side of the enemy ship, it turned half a circle, rowed forward for a distance, and then began to sink slowly, and finally could not escape the fate of being buried at the bottom of the sea. And the Brave was able to completely break the siege. Zhao Yu held a telescope and looked at the entire battlefield, at this time, other warships either used ballistas or rammed to sink and damage the enemy ships that tried to intercept them, but the formation had already been disrupted, and they were all fighting separately......
