Although the island fleet was stunned by Zhou Tai and them all of a sudden, with the Kyoto fleet as an example, the other fleets of the island country gradually let go of the fear in their hearts and turned to fight with Zhou Tai's fleet.

The main role of the thirty flamethrowers is to deter the opponent, when the opponent has the upper hand, they can harvest the battlefield, and when they are defeated, they can stop the enemy from pursuing.

However, at this time, the island fleet was greatly encouraged to see that the ships of the Kyoto fleet had let the ships that had caught fire take the initiative to collide with those flamethrowers or some huge turtle ships. In other words, they were suddenly greatly motivated and rushed to die.

The ships that crashed into the Spitfire were fine, at least before they sank, and they were able to pull one up, although the Spitfires needed several island nations to crash into them at the same time due to the materials they were built for, so that the Spitfires could sink with them.

As for the ships of the island nation that chose to crash into the turtle ship, they were just doing some useless work. How can the defense of the turtle ship be broken by a few ships?

It's just that although the twenty turtle ships can rampage through the island nation's fleet, it is difficult to stop the thirty flamethrowers behind them from turning into big fireballs one after another and finally disappearing in the sea.

Zhou Tai led fifty warships to rush towards the island nation's fleet quickly, and after seeing those flamethrowers being sunk one after another, Zhou Tai urged the shipwrights to speed up more than once.

Sailing on the sea, although many times it can be connected to the force of the wind or the current. But at this time, the role of the boatman is highlighted.

The war at sea, don't look at the previous Zhou Tai when they had not yet met the enemy. It is to fire a few shots to knock out the courage of the enemy fleet by three points first. Even if it's close. Heavy crossbows and bows and arrows are also enough to make enemies drink a few pots.

But. The real naval warfare of this era is still inseparable from the broadside battle. In the broadside battle, the boatmen on that side have enough strength and endurance, and the other side can take the lead.

In the past, Zhou Tai felt that the boatmen on his side were very powerful, but at this time, when he was watching the other party besiege his own ship. Zhou Tai couldn't wait for the warship under his feet to fly.

finally waited for Zhou Tai and the others to finally arrive on the battlefield, but at this time, the flamethrowers that were still fighting on the battlefield were not even half. In just over a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen flamethrowers were buried in the sea.

Fifty warships seemed like a lot, but for the nearly five hundred warships that were fighting in the battlefield, it was a bit inadequate. However, even so, it is impossible for the island navy to ignore Zhou Tai and their new fleet to join the battlefield.

Seeing Zhou Tai and them coming, the island fleet suddenly divided a part of the warships to stop Zhou Tai, not wanting Zhou Tai to affect their plan to capture those turtle ships.

That's right, the island fleet's side is enduring huge losses at this time. I also want to capture one of those turtle boats. It's not that the island fleet doesn't have this strength, after all, there is a huge gap in numbers. It is enough for the command of the navy of the island country to give birth to such an idea.

At this time, seeing that the twenty turtle ships were a little powerless, but Zhou Tai and the others rushed up, the admirals of the island country naturally did not want Zhou Tai and them to come up and make trouble. Moreover, at this time, several of those turtle boats were already crumbling, and they looked very bad.

This is like the general of the island country went to a spring courtyard, and the woman was born with the posture of a sinking fish, the appearance of falling leaves, and finally the pants were taken off, and the woman came to the aunt.

It's not a good analogy, but the mood is the same.

Therefore, in order to prevent Zhou Tai and the warships coming from behind him from making trouble, the naval commander of the island country also wanted to block Zhou Tai and them from the battlefield regardless of losses.

Zhou Tai watched those flamethrowers being sunk continuously at this time, and he had already held back the anger in his heart. At this time, seeing that the island country's fleet dared to take the initiative to come out to seek death, Zhou Tai naturally would not let it go.

At the sound of an order, fifty warships greeted the oncoming island fleet with heavy crossbows in turn. Before the two armies could get on board, the island navy was the first to lose almost ten warships.

When the admiral of the island country saw that Zhou Tai and they only had fifty warships to come to help, they naturally did not send more warships to meet the battle, and they only sent fifty warships. It's just that what the admiral of the island country didn't expect was that this was still far away, and he lost nearly ten warships, how to fight next?

Sure enough, after the first round of attacks, while there was still some distance between the two sides, Zhou Tai and the others also quickly began to load heavy crossbow arrows, and then launched a second attack before the broadside battle.

In two rounds of strikes, the island fleet lost almost twenty warships. Especially in the second round, it was much easier to aim because of the short distance. And at this distance, almost five heavy crossbow arrows hit the warship of the island country, and the bottom of the warship of the island country can be shot through.

The heavy bolts weren't any ordinary crossbow arrows, and after making contact with an enemy ship, the arrows were sharp enough to penetrate the planks of the enemy ship. After the bolt penetrates the plank, the body of the bolt ejects a large number of pieces of iron.

As a result, several island warships looked fine, but they just stopped and floated with the waves. And those ships were extremely unlucky, and after the heavy crossbow arrows pierced the planks of those ships, the ejected iron pieces killed almost all the shipwrights in the ships, so that the ships could not continue to fight.

After taking overboard, Zhou Tai's advantage was reduced a lot.

Under the leadership of Oda Nobunaga, the island nation focused on the development of the navy. Therefore, the navy of the island country is much stronger than the army of the island country in terms of training and equipment.

Although Zhou Tai and the others are also well-equipped and well-trained, they do not have any advantages compared with the navies of island countries. At this time, if it weren't for Zhou Tai and their small victory, the battle situation would have been scorching at this time.

At this time, even if the island country came to stop Zhou Tai and their island fleet was sunk and destroyed nearly twenty warships before they could fight, but after the broadside battle, the island country's navy still brought some trouble to Zhou Tai and them.

However, it is only a few troubles.

Although Zhou Tai and the others engaged the navy of the island country, they would either bombard it directly with gunboats, or they would fire a salvo of heavy crossbows, shooting the naval warships of the island country into a sieve. However, after this side battle, it made the island navy understand another terrible weapon of the Han navy - the light crossbow.

Zhou Tai and the others did not have the opportunity to show the power of the light crossbow before, and this first broadside battle made the island navy suffer a big loss.

Non-commissioned officers in the navy generally do not wear heavy armor. After all, anything can happen at sea, and if the armor is too heavy, if it is hit into the sea by a big wave, there is no chance of being rescued, and it will sink directly into the sea.

Therefore, even if the soldiers on the warship led by Zhou Tai were equipped with light crossbows, it made the soldiers of the island country miserable.

While Zhou Tai was suppressing the fleet of the island country, those turtle ships were in some trouble at this time.

The turtle boat is so large that it is difficult to lift the speed of the turtle boat. One of the ways in which the turtle ship fights is to use the advantage of size to crush.

In this naval battle, the turtle ship also used this method to fight. It's just that with the passage of time, and the number of warships in the crushed island nation seems to be a bit large, the speed of the turtle ship has been slowed down. At this time, in addition to using the guns equipped on the ship to fire a few shots, the turtle ship used crossbow arrows to prevent the enemy from approaching.

It's just that just relying on crossbow arrows, how long can you block it? As time passed, the twenty turtle boats were slowly forced together, which made it even more difficult for those turtle boats to make a difference.

All of a sudden, those turtle boats, which were originally extremely safe, fell into a huge crisis. (To be continued......)
