Yuan Yao realized a problem, because he forcibly pushed the staff department, and as a result, the thinking of his subordinates was limited to death.

Forcing them to make a plan, forcing them to stick to it, and as a result, there is no communication between the two plans.

The plan to prevent the decisive battle of the naval army was carried out, but the plan to prevent a sneak attack was aside, resulting in only a thousand defenders guarding the dock, and almost being successfully raided.

But fortunately, a thousand people were planned in advance to guard it, otherwise the ships that had not yet been built would have been burned out, and this was the only thing he was thankful for.

When Yuan Yao came to the dock, the scene in front of him was a thousand poor Yuan army, besieged by four or five thousand people who jumped out of nowhere, and the Xuanjia who stayed behind also participated in the battle.

Yuan Yao didn't say a word, and asked Chen Wu to lead the Xuanjia guards to participate in the battle, leaving only 3 people around to protect him, and now this is the only force he can send to the field.

Seeing Chen Wu leading the personal guard battalion into battle, there was a burst of cheers from the 1,000 soldiers left behind, and their morale improved slightly.

Yuan Yao ran towards the slipway area of the shipbuilding with a few guards, and what made people speechless was that the front had already been killed, and the clones were still building the ship as if no one was there, and they didn't take the battlefield next to them seriously at all.

Yuan Yao knew what was going on, but the few guards who followed him were dumbfounded. While they're a little used to the weirdness of clones, it's an exaggeration.

"How big a heart does this have to be to do such a thing!"

Clones will only act according to their previous action orders until they are attacked, and unless a nearby species is attacked, the system will activate the self-defense counterattack mode and then participate in the battle.

However, they are now just ordinary clones, they have not undergone any military training, they will not put up any military formations, they will only attack the enemies in front of them, and their combat power is inferior to that of the militia.

But despite this, the number of these clones has exceeded 1,000, and now it is a useful help.

And in the dock defense plan, it has also been arranged for the current situation, near the slipway, there are more than a thousand spears placed there, which are intended for the clones, otherwise they will only use the wood or tools around them as weapons.

Yuan Yao gathered all the clones, ordered them to pick up the spears, and then stood in front of the ship to prevent the enemy from breaking through the defenses and running over to burn the ship, their task was to protect the ship and become the last layer of defense of the slipway, otherwise something went wrong, and more than two months would be in vain.

After arranging the clones, Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

The enemy's surprise attack force has at least four or five thousand people, and their own side is absolutely weak, even if the Xuanjia guards join, it is still precarious, although they are all wearing iron armor, which is equivalent to heavy infantry.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao began to feel anxious in his heart, looking left and right to find a solution, and then he suddenly found that the battleship was still parked on the dock.

Yuan Yao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran towards the dock. Clones can be left alone, they will defend themselves.

Yuan Yao ran to the dock battleship and found more than 100 crew members standing by the ship, and their mission was to protect the battleship. In their eyes, this is the most important thing, and it is also the order that Yuan Yao gave them.

Yuan Yao didn't have time to think about whether they were right or wrong like this, and hurriedly beckoned them to get on the ship and prepare to set sail, although the crew didn't know what he was going to do, but they still carried out the order automatically.

After the battleship left the dock, Yuan Yao ordered the battleship to move in the direction of the sneak attack on the enemy. The enemy was pushed to the wooden wall of the water village and rushed in, just by the river, so the battleship could use ballistas to fire his own side on the water, and this was the only way he could think of to help.

When the side of the battleship reached a parallel distance of fifty paces with the enemy, Yuan Yao ordered the ballista to open fire. This distance is the most familiar for training these days.

Whoosh ......

Five stone bullets smashed into the enemy's formation, and suddenly there was a wail, dozens of pounds of stones really hit whoever was unlucky.

Yuan Yao saw that the effect only knocked down a few people, and he couldn't help but think that it would be good if the ship was equipped with a bed crossbow with strong penetrating power, and it would definitely be a string of damage when launched.

He suddenly remembered that among the shells used in artillery in later generations, there was a type of mass destruction shell called grapefruit, which is also known as scattered shells. Although he didn't make any special preparations, there were a lot of small stone bullets weighing several pounds on the ship itself, but he didn't think about using them intensively.

So Yuan Yao ordered the gunner to pick out the small stone bullets and use them uniformly, and launch a few or even a dozen at a time, so that the lethality would be much greater.

After a while, the gunners picked out a small pile of stones. Yuan Yao ordered them to reload, and then began to attack the enemy with stone versions of grapeshot.

Perhaps the penetrating power of the ballista is not as good as that of the artillery of later generations, but when a pile of stones is shot out, the middle of the people who do not die are seriously injured and fall to the ground, and the effect is much better than that of the larger stone bullets.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao simply ordered the ship to drop anchor and fixed here to attack, because there was no enemy on the water nearby, and he could strike at the enemy on land with impunity.

In the face of attacks from both sides, the morale of the enemy army dropped greatly, and even began to be chaotic, and the crisis situation of the defenders of Yuan's army was temporarily stabilized......

After a while,

Yuan Yao saw that Liu Ye also led hundreds of people to the dock quickly, and it should be the gunners of the thunderbolt artillery array.

These gunners are specially trained from various armies with good eyes and dexterity, which means that they are not familiar with each other and have not practiced any melee formations together, so it is not difficult to imagine the combat power.

But what Yuan Yao didn't expect was that Liu Ye didn't know where to find hundreds of bows and arrows for them, and turned them into archers, which was much more helpful than melee combat.

I never thought that after the enemy saw that reinforcements were coming again, not only was the morale not hit, but like a frightened beast, it began to fight back fiercely, suppressing the momentum that Yuan's army had just ignited, and it was about to be broken through.

If the enemy rushes to the slipway, the clones with spears are no match for these professional soldiers. If the clones were killed, it would be almost the same as if the ship had been burned down, and it would take a few more months to have enough clones to build ships.

Yuan Yao didn't expect that these enemy troops who came to sneak attack would be so brave, and the thousands of people seemed to fight more fiercely than the tens of thousands of people on the main battlefield.

"General, our small stone bullets are gone, we can't shoot scattered bullets, all of them are big guys over dozens of pounds!"

Yuan Yao was stunned when he heard this: "Why is it at this moment!" ”
