Chapter 496: The Sound of the Sea (5)

"Rush, get up, grab the boat, grab the boat!"

Tari ibn Abby originally just wanted to make a windfall this time, but he didn't expect that before the windfall could see a shadow, he had already lost five medium-sized warships, thirty-two small warships, and eight small warships were so damaged that they almost lost their endurance, while the Datang fleet never dropped a single hair. Annoyed and angry, his eyes instantly became bloodshot and red, and he roared like a wolf.

"Take the ship, take the ship!"

"Accelerate, accelerate, lean in!"

"Ballista, prepare!"

……

Although the techniques and tactics of the Great Food Navy are extremely primitive, they do not lack the courage to fight to the death, in fact, the big food soldiers who have been brainwashed by religion have always been fanatical ****, not only regard their lives as grass mustard, but also have no regard for their own lives, when the Great Food Navy was founded less than a month ago, it was not very clever tactics to defeat the well-trained Eastern Roman Byzantine Navy in one fell swoop, nor did it rely on advanced weapons, relying on the courage and determination that were not afraid of death, at the cost of countless lives, The Byzantine navy was dragged into a brutal hand-to-hand combat, thus crushing the opponent alive, at this time, in the face of such heavy losses, the Great Food Navy was not only not intimidated, but was stimulated by blood and all went crazy, thousands of people shouted in unison, hundreds of ships fought for sailing, desperately rushed to the Tang Fleet to kill the past, and even did not hesitate to ignore the shouts for help of the compatriots who fell into the water.

"Quick, turn around, move the fucking fast!"

"Hurry up, get on the arrow, get on the arrow!"

"Shoot again, shoot now!"

……

The bravery of the Dashi Navy is obviously a little unexpected by the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and for a while they can't help but be a little in a hurry - the Datang Fleet has not been very peaceful all the way, it can be said that it has been fought all the way, no way, the Datang Fleet is so large, it is too difficult not to attract attention, anyone knows that winning the Datang Fleet means having a wealth that can not be spent in a lifetime, and the poisonous pirates, Puluozhong natives and other people from all walks of life have no less idea of fighting the Datang Fleet, It's just that often after seeing the power of the Datang warship, he immediately retreated in defeat, and he really didn't see such a strong master as the Great Food Navy, Rao is Datang generals are all veterans of the battlefield, but they can't help but be a little flustered, but fortunately, under the well-trained, the subordinates are not slow, with the second and third officers of each ship sounding the command, everyone and others are doing their best to operate.

Giant ballistas are not very rare, not only there are standard equipment in the big **, but the Arab Empire also has them, but when it comes to power and dexterity, they are far less than the ballista equipped by the current Tang fleet, this is not a ballista in the traditional sense, but a special ballista produced in the secret laboratory of "Mingdi", the volume is only less than half of the standard ballista, but the power is more than twice that of the standard ballista, and the effective range is more than three times that of the ballista used by the Great Food Navy, which is not surprising. What's even more amazing is that the ballista of the Datang fleet is not fixed, but can rely on the guide rails installed under the car and move up and down, left and right, and can turn one hundred and eighty degrees, from the other side of the shooting hole to fire crossbow arrows, of course, limited to the size of the cabin, all the ballista on the same floor can not turn at the same time, must move in turn, if you want to do it randomly, without a good level of training, it is very difficult to do, of course, this is not very difficult for the officers and soldiers of the Tang fleet, Without waiting for the battleships of the Great Food Navy to turn around in place, the six battleships of Datang have completed their strategic adjustment - the ballista on the top level of each ship collectively turned and moved to the rear, while the ballista on the second floor did not move, but it was launched vigorously, and it suppressed the brutal attack of the Great Food Navy, but seeing that the roar of the giant ballista was not stopped, a wave of various crossbow arrows roared and smashed towards the oncoming Great Food Battleship, although it could not achieve the amazing results at the beginning, but it made the enemy in front of him pay the price of more than a dozen ships. It was a long time to get close to the side of the Tang fleet.

The frontal Dashi Navy could not make a breakthrough, and the detachment that went around to the rear was also in vain, under the extremely fierce firepower, the battleships that dared to approach were all sunk and damaged, and the crossbow arrows fired by the Dashi Navy and the stone bullets thrown by the trebuchet repeatedly hit the Datang battleships, but the Datang battleships had thick skin, even if they were hit by several bullets, they did not hurt the fur, but those Dashi battleships that risked death to attack became the target of the Datang fleet's focus as soon as they fired the crossbow arrows. Without any suspense, it was beaten into pieces floating on the sea, and the officers and soldiers who fell into the water floated all over the sea like dumplings, and the misery of its condition was really shocking, of course, ** The way of arranging the battle line is not without weaknesses, and the two battleships in front and behind are the most likely to go wrong - these two battleships are difficult to get the fire support of friendly ships, and the position of their bow is only a giant ballista, under the lack of firepower, it is difficult to suppress the approach of the enemy ship, if you can move to fight, This weakness can be reduced to a minimum, but at this time, in order to cover the merchant fleet behind it, the ** fleet cannot make a large-scale maneuver, and can only rely on the manipulation of the sail to cruise back and forth in a small area, which gives the Great Food Navy the opportunity to take advantage of the weakness.

"Bang!"

In the chaotic fierce battle, just as the "Weiyuan" at the head of the Tang fleet made a tactical maneuver and was about to cruise backwards, a loud bang suddenly broke out at the bow, and then a barbaric cheer broke out.

"Get up there, grab the boat!"

On the medium-sized warship, a sturdy general with a beard on his face saw that the huge hook had accurately shot into the hull of the "Weiyuan", and when he boarded, he became excited, shouted and shouted and ordered a group of sailors to tighten the noose with all their might, and quickly approached the bow of the "Weiyuan" by relying on this rally.

"Luo Feng, take your people on board and guard the bow of the boat!"

Lin Hu was originally standing on the foredeck observing the dynamics of the battlefield, when he saw the Great Food Battleship approaching, his brows couldn't help frowning, but he didn't go into battle to kill the enemy in person, but retreated under the mast very rationally, and ordered the escort team to step forward to meet the enemy.

"No! Brothers, follow me, kill thieves, kill thieves, kill thieves! ”

Luo Feng is Luo Tong's nephew, and his disciple, followed Luo Tong into the "Ming Di", although he is not very old, only in his early twenties, it can be said that he is also the elder of the "Ming Di", this time he was ordered to go overseas with Lin Hu, and he was responsible for the leader of the warriors who escorted the ship, but unfortunately there were very few opportunities to make a move along the way, except for a small war with the indigenous tribes in Wax Srivijaya (now Sumatra), which was far from a fierce skirmish, there was really no good opportunity to perform, Especially in naval warfare, he can usually only be a boring spectator, whether it is facing the surprise attack of the poisonous pirates or the siege of the small fleet of indigenous boats in Puluozhong, Luo Feng can only watch the performance of a group of crossbow archers, he has long been suffocated, this time he heard Lin Hu's order, he became excited, licked his lips, roared wildly, and led more than 20 "Mingdi" masters to pounce on the bow of the ship.

"Order: The 1st and 2nd fleets will go all out to besiege the enemy's flagship, and at all costs, they will go all out to get on board!"

Tari ibn Abi is greedy, but not stupid people, at this time, has already seen that the "Weiyuan" is the flagship of the Tang fleet, this saw that their own warship has successfully approached, a pair of eyes immediately like a wolf green, gritted his teeth and gave a death order, with the sound of the horn, the original crazy impact of the big food naval warship group landed as if it had been beaten with chicken blood, braving the baptism of the crossbow arrows of the ** battleship, like a leech to the "Weiyuan" swooped over, in this way, "Weiyuan" Seeing this, the approaching "Weiwu" had to support the "Weiyuan" with all its firepower, and the result was that more than a dozen Dashi warships took advantage of the gap of the crossbow arrows on the "Weiwu" and quickly approached the vicinity of the "Weiwu", and were only able to connect to the broadside, but fortunately, the "Weishun" allocated half of its firepower in time to support it, which could be regarded as barely repelling the sneak attack of the Great Food Navy, even so, the "Weiwu" could no longer concentrate on taking care of the "Weiyuan". Whether or not the battleship can be kept can only depend on the "Weiyuan" itself.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Luo Feng led more than 20 escort warriors are all equipped with **, as early as when on standby, the crossbow arrows have been wound, at this time, in the face of the big food soldiers who are clinging to the iron cable, Luo Feng will not be very polite, after breaking his throat, he took the lead in pulling the trigger of the crossbow arrow, and the rest of the people saw this, and they didn't dare to slack off.

"Shoot the arrows and press the bow!"

As soon as the general on the medium-sized battleship saw that most of his warriors had been killed, he became angry, pulled out the scimitar at his waist, pointed to the bow of the ship, and shouted loudly, this order, not only more than 20 archers on the medium-sized battleship opened their bows and arrows together, but the archers on the more than a dozen small battleships who rushed over also shot their feather arrows at the bow of the "Weiyuan", hundreds of feather arrows were as dense as locusts, and the attack of Luo Feng and others was forcibly suppressed in just an instant, not that Luo Feng and the others were not high in archery, However, the bow of the ship is so big, at most three or five people can come forward to shoot at a time, how can it compete with the hundreds of archers of the Great Food Navy.

With the suppression of Luo Feng and others, the climbing warriors of the Great Food Navy began to climb to the "Weiyuan" again, and without counting, with a burst of cheers, the head of the first Great Food Warrior finally poked out of the bow of the "Weiyuan" from the outside of the ship, and the battle has reached a critical turning point......
