Chapter 238 Chasing the Wind and Fire
"Kill!"
The pirates were frightened, but the soldiers of the Tarzan army did not hesitate, and as they had been drilled in training, they took the thunderbolts from the skeleton of the sails, rounded their arms, and threw them at the pirate fleet one after another.
"Boom...... ......"Not everyone has the arm strength of Tai Shici, in order to be accurate, many soldiers have narrowed the distance, the distance is close, and the sound of fire and thunder when it ignites is becoming clearer and clearer.
The sun is shining!
The firelight drew a shining trajectory, like the sweat of the red sun in the sky, shining most of the sky. Before the pirates could react, they landed on the pirate ship one after another.
"Bang...... Bang ......" The impact sound is not loud, but the sound is moving, and the sound is urging people's liver and sausage!
"Fight the fire, put out the fire!" The voices of the leaders were less commanding, but crying and despairing.
There is no need for others to command, the minions have already taken action, the fetching of water, the fluttering of the water, the fluttering of the water, are all in the same boat, the boat is burned, no one should think about it!
The fireball came strangely, but the power was not too great, it was just burned around the landing point, and as long as the rescue was timely, it would not have time to spread. The problem is that the difficulty of timely rescue is too high.
In terms of the number of ships alone, the two armies can be said to be outnumbered, and the Taishan army has more than 300 ships, which is three times that of pirates!
And the attack method of the Taishan army determines its attack range, except for a fierce man like Tai Shici, how many people can control the windsurf board while throwing fist-sized things dozens of steps, or even a hundred steps away?
The distance of dozens of paces is already a combat distance on land, and it is not much different from close combat in naval warfare. Therefore, the attack of the Taishan army was destined to be fast and concentrated, and in this sudden counterattack, the first to be hit were the small ships that turned the fastest.
There were nearly thirty of these meritorious ships, but they had been struck by a saturation blow ten times that of an enemy who was ten times their own, and each ship had at least seven or eight fireheads, except for the special cases of deviation from the target and the overlapping of the landing points.
Fire suppression? Easier said than done!
After turning, the fleet of the Taishan army pulled into a column, like a marquee, galloping in front of or behind the enemy ships, leaving only a splash of water behind them and the light of fire flying in the sky.
One by one it blooms and blooms, and one by one withers and turns into dust.
Flowers bloom and fall, and the rotation is endless.
At this moment, incompatible water and fire are perfectly intertwined to form a bright melody.
Of course, for the enemy, this melody brings only a lethal killing opportunity.
It's not that the pirates don't work hard, but on a small boat two or three feet long, seven or eight fires broke out one after another, and the difficulty of fighting the fire was already quite great.
Moreover, although the fire formed by the enemy's fire and thunder was not large, it was very tenacious, and a bucket of water that was easily brought was poured down, and most of the fire was extinguished, but the rest was still beating.
If left unchecked, the fire will soon spread again, and if you focus on this, what will happen to the rest of the fire?
The pirates were in a mess, no one cared about controlling the ships anymore, and everyone joined in the firefighting, but they still didn't care about the other.
Driven by inertia and the sea breeze, the out-of-control ships slammed around like headless flies. From time to time, two fireships will be seen colliding together, sharing each other's fire, burning more vigorously; What's even more unfortunate is that those who were not on fire in the first place, after being bumped into by their companions, also made a fuss.
Compared with the messiness of the pirates, the Tarzan army is orderly, they step on the waves, chase the sea breeze, like a whirlwind swept past the pirate ship, the frequency of attacks is getting faster and faster.
By the time the Tarzan army began to turn for the third time, the thirty pirate ships that had been set on fire had completely turned into fireballs, and the minions threw down the fire-fighting equipment in their hands, crying and jumping into the icy water, and a tragic fate awaited them.
It is only early spring, the sea water is still very cold, whether you can survive after falling into the water has nothing to do with whether the water is good or not, only whether you can get out of the sea water in time. If not, even if the water is as good as a fish, it will be frozen to death, and if you go ashore late, the cold sea breeze will take away all the heat from the human body and turn the person into a zombie.
At the moment when they felt the cold of the sea, most of the minions had an understanding, and they knew why the water on the Taishan soldiers could block the arrows. That thing must be thick, and a lot of leather is used, so it can be used to keep warm, and the arrow blocking is only incidental......
More pirates were lucky enough to avoid the first round of attacks, but they didn't have time or the heart to save their companions, because the speed of the Tarzan army was too fast!
Fast at full speed, fast when turning, the pirates hadn't even recovered from the sudden first blow, the second blow was coming from the other direction.
Faced with this never-before-seen and unbelievable method of warfare, the pirates were completely confused.
"Stand back, get out of the way!"
"Don't come here, your ship is already on fire, don't bother others!"
"Put out the fire, extinguish it
Fire! ”
"Don't just douse it with water, pounce on it with sackcloth and trample it out! This fire is weird, and water alone can't do it! If you don't want to die, give the old seller some strength! ”
Cries, cries for help, angry scolding, and commands, all kinds of sounds are intertwined, as if a song is gone. Not long ago, the pirate fleet, which was still fierce and imposing, is already showing signs of collapse.
……
"This tactic, this tactic is exactly the same as the cavalry cavalry tactics, no, it's more powerful than cavalry shooting! In front of these strange ships, normal ships can only be beaten, and they can't even catch their shirts! When the big ship turned around, the Taishan army had already turned a whole circle! ”
The pirates were so overwhelmed that they had no time to sit aside, but the onlookers had plenty of time to think and marvel. The generals and proofreaders of Liaodong are very good at studying cavalry warfare, and Li Min immediately thought of light cavalry.
"Sea light riding ......" This time, Liu Yi did not refute his colleagues, but nodded heavily.
The tactics of windsurfing are the same as those of light cavalry, which is to use speed and agility to suppress opponents, confuse enemy formations, and create fighters. However, this idea was used in naval battles, and it was more terrifying than the cavalry of light cavalry.
Switching to light cavalry, no matter how good the horse under the crotch is, the enemy is the slowest heavy infantry, and it is impossible for the cavalry to circle around the enemy formation. If the enemy can't catch up, the horse will be tired, not to mention that the speed difference between the two sides can't be so big.
And right now, the Taishan Navy has effortlessly gone around in a circle, and what kind of army is it, being bypassed by the enemy in a circle, it is only dizzy and chaotic.
"Captain Liu, let's withdraw as soon as possible, the pirates are no longer good. Our Liaodong offended Wang Pengju so ruthlessly, and when the management is over, it is difficult to ensure that the Taishan army will not target us. Li Min suggested in a trembling voice.
The battle in front of him far exceeded the expectations of the lord, Wang Pengju was much more powerful than expected, and he casually stretched out his hand, and created such a powerful naval army from scratch, and casually beat Guan Cheng who had been crisscrossing the Bohai Sea for many years without the power to fight back.
"There's no hurry." Liu Yi rejected Li Min without looking back, his eyes were fixed on the battlefield in the distance, watching the sails gallop on the battlefield like the most heroic cavalry.
"Not in a hurry?" Li Min was anxious, he pointed to the battlefield in the fierce battle, and shouted: "Liu Yi, you can see clearly!" How fast those strange ships of the Tarzan Army are! Start fast, steer fast, and go faster at full speed! And the adaptability to the wind direction is very strong, don't look at us far away, if they chase after us, it will be ......."
Liu Yi couldn't take his eyes off it, and slowly spoke: "Don't worry, although Taishan's tactics are terrible, but the time is in a hurry, and it is not perfect, the strong is very strong, and the weaknesses are also a lot ......"
"Weakness?" Li Min was shocked, he patronized and shocked, but his colleagues had already observed the weakness, which was superior to the low...... He didn't care about whether to retreat or not, and asked Liu Yi repeatedly, "What weakness?" ”
"The attack power is insufficient, and the range is ......" Liu Yi did not mean to hide it, and directly shared his observations.
The attack of the Taishan army seems to be very terrifying, but it is not as strong as imagined, and Guan Cheng was mainly caught off guard, so the situation is so passive.
Liu Yi didn't know what the fireball of the Taishan Army was, but it was obvious that if he wanted to exert the power of the fireball, he mainly relied on the frequency of attacks, and the more places that caught fire, the more difficult it was to extinguish.
Therefore, the main weakness of this strategy is the way and number of fireballs are thrown.
Throwing by manpower, the range is too low, and the accuracy is not high, so if you want to improve, you have to close the distance. Once the distance is too close, the advantage of speed will be weakened, and at the same time, the weakness of defense will be highlighted.
Especially when dealing with large ships with more men and stronger long-range attack capabilities, the weakness of this tactic will become particularly obvious.
In addition, the windsurf board is too light, there are few things that can be carried, and the number of fireballs is limited, if it is targeted and restricted, this tactic is not very difficult to crack.
There is a law, there is a break, there is only an invincible commander in the world, and there will never be an invincible method of war.
Of course, if the fireballs are thrown in a faster way, with a longer range and a larger number of fireballs, this tactic will become more terrifying and difficult to deal with!
After listening to Liu Yi's explanation, although Li Min was still unconvinced, he had no way to refute it, and at the same time had to admit that the other party's insight was indeed higher than his own. In such a fierce battle, he was still able to remain calm and observe carefully enough.
"That'...... Shall we go up and help? Li Min was unwilling to be lonely and proposed.
"No!"
Liu Yi shook his head, "Guan Cheng is not a newcomer, let alone a fool, even if he doesn't have time to analyze, he can make the right response, if Wang Peng's skills are like this, he doesn't need our army to help fight, and the Taishan army can only return with a feather." But if he has other killer moves, it would be too unwise for us to run head-on. Anyway, there is a tube in front of us, so we just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”
The fire in the distance was blazing, reflected in Liu Yi's eyes, like a wisp of ghost fire beating, cold, secluded, making people feel cold.
