Volume 4 Bohai Eagle Yang Chapter 67 The Strongest Tactic
At first encountering a strong enemy five times their size, the three Han warships seemed to be a little panicked, not only did they not maintain their original formation, but they dispersed, the "Black Eagle" and "Flying Eagle" ships sailed to the left and right, leaving only the lone flagship "Eagle King" to continue to gallop towards the pirate brigade at a slow speed.
In the face of the Han army's self-rebellion, the pirates were naturally overjoyed, and on the six sand boats that took the lead, the sailors sailed with high morale, which increased the speed of the already fast ship by a few points, showing a powerful ship management skill.
The three sand boats broke through the waves, and formed a zigzag formation in a miraculous way in the gallop, completing a joint attack formation on the "Black Hawk" warship.
The "Black Hawk", which is obviously superior to the pirate sand ship in size and height, does not know if it is because it knows that it is inferior to its opponent, so it does not take any evasive action, but slows down the speed of the ship, as if it wants to fight a battle with the pirates.
"Drop ---- sails!"
"Zhang Gong! Stand shield! ”
"All ready!"
The pirates' sand boats roared one after another.
In the sound of "quack", a group of pirates stretched out their bows and arrows, aiming at the side of the "Black Eagle", and dozens of powerful pirates even held hooks that were more than a long length of hooks, and were ready to pull the enemy ship. This kind of hook rejection is like a long ge, the front has a point, which can resist the enemy ship so that it cannot get close, and there is a hook under the point, which can hook the side of the enemy ship so that it cannot get out, and the end is a kind of necessary weapon for both offensive and defensive water warfare.
However, as they got closer to the Han warships, the pirates were all shocked and at a loss. The Han warship not only did not send out arrows like rain as expected, but did not even appear a single figure, and it was a little terrifyingly quiet. And the eager hook rejection in the hands of the pirates was even more helpless in the face of the completely enclosed sides of the Han warship.
"Reach in! With flying claws! A pirate leader keenly discovered the secret of the Han warship, and he shouted wildly: "The enemy ship has closed both sides and entered from the top of the ship!" ”
The hook rejectors threw down the hooks in their hands, and the long ropes in their hands were neatly swung, and their eyes searched for the target that could drop their claws.
With the gentle impact of "bang" and "bang", two sand boats clamped the "Black Hawk" from the left and right at the same time, and the other sand boat was horizontal in front of it, sealing the direction of the "Black Hawk".
Just as the pirates were about to let out a roar of excitement and throw the flying claws in their hands, a sudden change occurred.
On the seemingly completely enclosed side of the "Black Hawk", dozens of small round holes appeared strangely, and long pipes in the shape of spray cans stretched out.
"Porphyry" round balls shot towards the sand boats on both sides.
"Beware of enemy munitions...... An experienced pirate was about to roar and warn, only to find that a ball that had rolled to his feet did not burn as expected, but exploded into a large cloud of bright red mist powder with a "wave".
"Ahh My eyes ......" The red mist entered his eyes, and the pirate's eyes suddenly felt a pain like a pinprick, and he subconsciously screamed, but the screaming stopped abruptly.
It wasn't because he was in a dying coma, but because the terrible red mist eroded his mouth and nose at the same time, causing him to cry and exchange tears, and his throat burned like fire, and he could only make a series of "lotus" in his mouth, and he rolled to the ground in pain.
In an instant, the two sand ships were completely shrouded in a strange red mist, and the panicked running of the pirates, the screams of helplessness, and the incessant sound of weapons falling.
The large cloud of red mist, obviously heavier than the air, slowly covered the deck of the sand ship, and the sea breeze did not dramatic, and there was no tendency to dissipate for a while.
On the Han warship, as soon as the suddenly stretched out nozzle was launched, it immediately retracted, and all the round holes were also closed, and the red mist was not at all reversed.
"Not good!" One of the pirate leaders covered his eyes with his hands and shouted hoarsely, "Sail quickly!" Turquoise full force...... Ahem, ahem! ”
While the deck of the sand boat was in chaos and the rowers below were still at a loss, they had already missed the opportunity to escape.
When the red fog finally settled, the two sides of the "Black Hawk" suddenly opened, and a hatch-shaped iron plate fell down, erecting a condescending bridge between the enemy ships.
On the Black Hawk, several figures came out like lightning and threw themselves at the sand boat, all of them like ghosts, pointing east and west to knock the pirates to the ground, and there was no enemy under them. For the skilled Guardians, even if these pirates were ten times more powerless, it would only be a matter of effort.
The maximum capacity of the new ship was 200 people, and the best cabins were given priority to the guardians, except for the ordinary cabins assigned to eighty sailors, including the shuttlers and treadmills, forty crossbowmen, and forty marines. If it weren't for the fact that there were only a dozen or so of the more than 100 Guardians who were proficient in water, Southern Eagle would almost have considered reducing the number of the rest of the crew. However, even if there were only five or six people on each ship, it would be a complete overwhelming advantage for the frontside battle.
Immediately behind the Guardian was a group of Han soldiers covered in wet wipes, carrying thick wooden sticks in their hands. They poured up the passage onto the enemy ships, and when they saw the enemy still standing, they drew their big sticks over their heads and faces. As soon as the enemy fell to the ground, he immediately rode up and tied him like a rice dumpling with a rope around his waist, as if it was a professional means of robbing homes and houses.
"Close the cover!" One of the pirates barely stood up and shouted to the lower floors, "Leave us alone...... Yes! ”
A well-wrenched blow landed on the back of his head, and the pirate fainted in his blurred eyes when he saw the cover that led to the lower floor slam shut.
"Get out of the way!" A thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the Han warship, and a figure jumped high and fell towards the sand boat like a boulder.
The "boom" deck exploded, and the wood chips flew wildly, and the guardian actually stepped through a large hole in the heavy deck, and the people fell into the bilge with it.
"Those who descend will not die!" He slowly straightened up, looked at the dozens of colorless pirates in the bilge, and smiled coldly: "I only counted to three ....... one!" ”
"Whoa!" The weapons in the hands of the pirates all fell to the ground, and the crows knelt all over the ground. In the face of such a peerless fierce man, no matter how stubborn he resists, it is no longer a matter of seeing death as home....... but a stupid suicide!
"We've been tricked!" Straddling the third sand ship in front of the Black Hawk, the pirates screamed loudly: "Hurry! Retreat! ”
Just as they were scrambling to swing the sidesail, the bow window of the Black Hawk opened, and two huge crossbows were pushed out.
Two three-edged spears attached to Piso shot out, breaking through the planks of the sand ship like bamboos, hooking it to the ground. With the sound of the "squeaky crunch" winch, the pirates were shocked to find that their ship was uncontrollably approaching the Han warship under the tow of Piso.
"Cut off the piso!" Amid hysterical screams, the pirates leaned out and slashed at Piso. The long knife slashed at the pitch-black leather cord, and immediately bounced away without force. More than a dozen strands of tough yak tendons are repeatedly kneaded into leather ropes, how can mere soldiers shake them?
"It's over!" On the third sand ship, a pirate leader sat on the deck with his butt down, staring blankly at the two sand ships that had completely fallen into the hands of the enemy, and then he looked into the distance, the three sand ships that were besieging the Han army "Flying Eagle" had almost suffered the same fate.
"Your grandma's! Great! Brothers, you're in the pit! He gritted his teeth and finally gave a helpless order: "Brothers, we surrender!" ”
On the boat in the distance, Li Shaojie trembled slightly, his fists were clenched and rattled, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped straight.
When the red mist on the first sand boat spread, he already felt bad, but he couldn't do anything, and when he witnessed the Han warship shoot flying spears and capture his men's warships, he finally realized that he not only underestimated the combat power of the Han army's sailors, but also made a fatal mistake that was difficult to save.
He turned around and took in the horrified looks of all his subordinates, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart...... Under such a shocking blow to the bottom of their hearts, their subordinates almost lost their fighting spirit.
"Handsome! And lo and behold! One of the pirates exclaimed, "The main ship of the Han army is coming towards us!" ”
"What? With only one boat, how dare you challenge our two building ships and seven sand boats at the same time? In an instant, the raging anger completely burned out the fear in his heart, Li Shaojie clenched his fists with both hands, and said with tears in his eyes: "No! No! He can't insult me like that! ”
"Come on, send the flag!" He said angrily: "All ships, attack the main ship of the Han army with all your might...... I don't believe it if I kill Lao Tzu, he can deal with our attacks from all sides at the same time, and sink it for me! ”
"Dashuai!" Another pirate had sharp eyes and shouted, "Look! The Han warship has raised its flag! ”
"Huh! Eagle Banner? Li Shaojie's anger suddenly disappeared, and his eyes lit up and said, "Could it be that Nanying is here?" Good! All right! ”
He suddenly danced with his hands and said, "What's the point of losing the first battle?" As long as Lao Tzu catches Nanying, it will be a big victory...... The captured brothers are saved! Lao Tzu's warship can also be snatched back! ”
"Quick! Fast! He kicked down the standard-bearer next to him and scolded: "You kid dare to grind again, Lao Tzu will throw you to feed the sea fish!" ”
"Yes! Be! When the standard-bearer heard that he could snatch back the captured brothers, his eyes lit up, and he stood up with a roll, and the flag in his hand flew up and down.
At the same time, the nine warships sailed at the same time, and the oars on the side of the board were like flying, scattering into a semicircle and rushing towards the flagship of the Han army, the "Eagle King".
"General! We've already taken advantage of this battle...... It's time to scare off the enemy forces! Gan Ning said to the southern eagle: "The enemy army still has an advantage in numbers, once our ship is besieged, there will be a bloody battle, and both sides will be killed and wounded, which is already contrary to the general's purpose!" ”
"Whatever you want!" Nan Ying pursed his lips: "Just don't blame General Ben for not reminding you, if the enemy army disperses and withdraws, how do you plan to pursue?" ”
"General, the last general has no intention of offending...... But still, you're a big taboo! Gan Ning said calmly: "Only three new warships went into battle for the first time, but you always wanted to annihilate the enemy? One day, this idea of underestimating the enemy will defeat you! ”
"The last general thinks!" He pointed to the six enemy ships that were completely paralyzed at sea in the distance: "In this battle, our army has achieved all the goals of testing the performance of new warships, honing the combat skills of naval officers and soldiers, and even weakening the enemy's strength. ”
Looking at Nanying, who was uncertain, Gan Ning smiled bitterly and lowered his voice: "If it's to vomit with that eldest lady?" General, you're too immature! ”
"General! Two generals! Cui Yuxiu's eager shout came: "Half in the front, nine enemy ships are coming at full speed...... They're trying to hit us! ”
"General, make a decision!" Gan Ning's eyes were shining: "Black Eagle and Flying Eagle are currently busy controlling the enemy ships, we are alone to meet the enemy, if we don't go all out, we may be defeated!" ”
"That's it! You've got your point! Nanying let out a long breath and waved his hand: "Order...... Full fire! ”
"Haha! Obey the general's orders! Gan Ning showed a happy smile that fulfilled his wish, he turned around and shouted: "Bypass the enemy's impact formation and use the strongest attack method!" ”
The simple military order fell into the ears of the herald, but it activated his tactical thinking memory that he had studied hard for many days like a conditioned reflex.
"Order!" The herald shouted with all his might: "The general has an order, evade the enemy, and the ship is full speed...... The periphery is roundabout, and the combat power is fully open! ”
The next moment, one roar after another spread throughout the ship:
"Yes! Raise the sails and sail southeast! ”
"Roller hands and wheels are all moving! Go full throttle! ”
"All crossbowmen are on standby, and they will fire when they see the enemy!"
"Open the left bilge! Vulcan is ready to go! ”
