In a chaotic battle, more than 20 large warships in the enemy's vanguard fleet were sunk, which was mostly due to the credit of rocket ships, and those whose masts and sails were damaged and temporarily incapacitated on the sea were the achievements of dragon ships. What made Zhao Hao happy was that more than 40 medium-sized warships with strong maneuverability were sunk or damaged, and most of the buildings and gunwales of those warships that were not sunk were also full of holes by ballistas, and the sailors suffered heavy casualties and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. On the contrary, small warships like the boats rely on their small bodies, run fast, and suffer the least damage, but they are all soldiers used for hand-to-hand combat, and there is nothing they can do about the hedgehog-like dragon ships.

Seeing the general situation of the enemy clearly, Zhao Yu had a little bottom in his heart. The enemy seems to have lost most of the small and medium-sized ships, but what they lost was the most mobile ships. Most of the large ships were preserved, but they were all sail-driven, and their maneuverability was the worst in dogfights, and they needed the cover of small and medium-sized ships in battle. Just like in modern warfare, even a thick-skinned and powerful tank needs a thin-skinned infantry tank to provide cover and clear obstacles, otherwise it may be plotted by an ordinary infantryman.

At this time, the imperial fleet was already left with only sail shadows, and they took the opportunity to completely break away from the pursuit of the Yuan army. Zhao Hao felt a little bad in his heart, and he didn't know whether he was relieved or cold. With only the strength of the Destroyer Army, he maneuvered with more than 200 enemy ships, disrupting the enemy's formation and forcing them to stop and fight with him. At this time, the imperial fleet still had more than 1,000 warships, even if only the rearguard took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, even if they could not completely annihilate the enemy's front army now, they could completely lose the strength to fight again, so that they could calmly deal with the arrival of the enemy brigade.

But now the situation is that the enemy's forwards, although badly damaged, still retain a force to be reckoned with, and they have begun to take advantage of the moment of the struggle to turn the bow of the ship, outflank from both flanks, and prepare to encircle and annihilate themselves. If they can't be taken down as soon as possible, they will be caught between the enemy's front army and the Chinese army, and they will fall into a bitter battle. Zhao Yu knew that the dragon ship was rebuilt, and there was also a saying that the ants bit the elephant to death, and besides, the warship was all driven by manpower, and there was always a time when it was exhausted, and it was difficult to support the army, so it was best to escape from the battle. The problem is that if you go by yourself, the enemy brigade can continue the pursuit for a long time, and the distance of an hour is not too far......

"Your Highness, all the ships reported that there was no damage to the ships, no war casualties, only four people were slightly injured, and most of them accidentally broke their arms and sprained their feet when they collided or turned!" Wang Meng ordered to count the losses of each ship, and he looked at Zhang Hao in the captain's room who was hiding and couldn't help but laugh, but he was the most seriously injured wounded, and this small injury was basically negligible in the past.

"Well, how about the consumption of various weapons?" Zhao Yu nodded and asked, now that he has 'wrought' the command of the dragon boat detachment, he can't just enjoy himself, but also consider the overall deployment.

"The consumption of stone bullets and crossbow arrows on each ship is nearly forty percent, and some are even worse, and the consumption of other materials is small, and the ballistas can be fired normally." Wang Meng replied.

"These losers, let them have fun!" Zhao Hao nodded, but scolded secretly in his heart, this is really not a family and does not know the price of firewood and rice.

According to the rules, each dragon boat usually loads 10,000 crossbow arrows of various types and 500 stone bullets, which are determined according to the data accumulated in weekday training, and before this voyage, they also let them bring more, and a battle that is not big or small, and it does not take long to lose so many crossbow arrows. It seems that he has not fully tapped their potential, and the power of people in life and death is really infinite. However, Zhao Hao also understands that recruits often pull the trigger as soon as they shoot on the battlefield, and they don't let go until they run out.

"Your Highness, what did you say?" His Royal Highness muttered something Wang Meng didn't hear clearly, and asked again.

"Tell them to fight again when they see it, there is still a tough battle behind them, save some use!" Zhao Yu said angrily.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Meng replied.

Speaking kung fu, Zhao Yu was not idle, still watching the changes in the battlefield, now the ships have gathered around him, and the enemy ships have also completed the U-turn and are heading upwind, he concluded that the enemy army wants to use a big roundabout tactics to surround himself, and after seizing the upper hand, he will crush the situation. He knew that the opportunity must not be missed and that it would be difficult for the enemy to regain a favorable position after completing his tactical moves.

"Inform the ship, this ...... This seat wants to divide into two teams and attack the enemy on the left and right flanks, and ask for permission. "Zhao Yu habitually wanted to talk about this king, but suddenly thought of his 'seizure of power' Chen Zeweng still didn't know, if he knew, he wouldn't have to hide the warrior snow immediately, so he immediately changed his mouth.

"Returning to His Highness, the commander agrees with His Highness's suggestion, he will lead the army to meet outside, and tell His Highness to protect him." There was a quick response, and Guan Tongshou reported.

"Tell him that the king is very good, and thank you. It is suggested that after he hides on the island, he will ambush the enemy's Chinese army brigade at the right time to buy us time. Zhao Hao said with a smile, saying that this kid still has a conscience.

"The general order is to divide the ships into two teams, one led by the Brave, together with the five ships of bravery, bravery, bravery, courage, and bravery, to attack the enemy's left flank, and the rest of the ships to attack the enemy's right flank." Zhao Hao did not wait for the ship to report again, and ordered, "At this time, the enemy ship is driving against the wind, the speed is slow, and the turning angle is large, so all ships of our army should boldly use ramming tactics to attack the enemy." However, efforts should be made to avoid a frontal collision and to hit the rear of the side as a whole. If this is not possible, they should also do their best to destroy their masts and sails, make it difficult for them to maneuver, and then wait for an opportunity to collide. ”

"Okay, I tell you that you don't have to wait for orders when the ships attack, you can decide when the time is right, but you should pay attention to covering each other, rescue, and strictly prevent accidentally injuring friendly ships!" Zhao Yu thought about it and added. In the battle just now, he realized that the dragon ship has good overall protection and strong mobility, and it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of large formation operations, but it can maximize its potential when fighting alone. And the fighter plane is fleeting, and in this era, there is no radio, and all rely on flag language to communicate, and he will miss the opportunity to come and go, so he decided to give it a go.

"Your Highness, all ships obey orders." Guantong hand report.

"Put smoke, go southwest, attack!" Zhao Yu gave the order to attack.

Under the dense sound of drums, the Warrior gradually accelerated, and rushed to the enemy fleet first. The reason why Zhao Yu chose to lead the team to attack the enemy's right flank was premeditated, because he relied on the advantage of his telescope to find that the enemy general ship was in this line. In ancient times, it was said that the capture of thieves and kings said that destroying the enemy can not only disrupt the command of the enemy's army, but also discourage them and plunge the enemy into chaos, but he forgot that he was not only the head of a ship, but also the commander of an army and the leader of a government......
