Chapter 581: Different Tactics
On the side of the Liuli Guild, it attracted the most enemy ships the most.
On the side of the Glass Guild, the ships in front of them attacked each other in various ways, and the big ships on both sides of them also began to attack with catapults in the back.
But the catapult attack did not work very well.
A stone could kill one or two people, smash a large hole in the hull of a ship, and if you were lucky, even break an enemy's mast.
But the sea is so big, there are wind and waves, and the accuracy is not good, and it may take ten stones to hit the enemy.
Hitting an enemy may not cause any damage to the enemy.
Liuli looked at it for a while and said, "Brother Mu, should your fleet be equipped with some other ships, and there should be multiple ways to attack. ”
Liuli's words are reasonable, their fleet has already inflicted great losses on the enemy, the two sides are engaged, ballistas, arrows, and fire oil are constantly attacking, and the casualties on both sides are also very large.
Mu Han didn't answer immediately, but looked at the battle situation on both sides and said, "Our army is good at long-distance attacks, and short-range attacks will not lose to others. ”
Perhaps to verify Mu Han's words, it wasn't long before the enemy's small ships approached Mu Han's fleet.
Liu Renliang gave the order, and the ship's ballista began to attack.
A thousand-ton warship is equipped with a lot of ballistas, and when the enemy approaches, each ballista begins to attack.
At the same time, the ship is also equipped with a lot of archers, which can give the enemy greater damage.
Liuli saw that the approaching enemy had been hit in many directions, and the attack power of Mu Han's ballista on their ship was indeed very strong.
The enemy warships had already dispersed, because the losses were too great when they were gathered together, and the intensive bombardment of Muhan's catapults caused them a lot of damage.
At this time, the enemy also had more than 30 catapults and began to attack Mu Han and their side.
The rocks kept flying.
Obviously, the enemy's stones are not of the same size.
This time the fight was farther, and the next time it might be closer, the soldiers attacked by feeling.
Such an attack will have a huge gap in accuracy, and there is no point in the soldier to shoot at school.
However, Mu Han's fleet is different, they are all the same specification, and after the soldiers calibrate and shoot, after adjustment, the accuracy is very high.
Although the enemy is not accurate, they can be attacked from time to time.
Several ships were hit, the loss of personnel was not serious, a stone, it would be good to kill a person, but this is a stone, not a shell, often it can't kill people.
But a big rock, if it falls down, will also smash a hole in the ship.
"Quick, the boat is in the water, block it immediately."
"Have the boatsmith fix it at once, and nail it to a plank."
"Report, water is ingested on the right side, the hull is tilted to the right."
"Immediately let the left hull in the water, keep your balance, and ask to withdraw from the battle."
"The ships that agreed to tilt immediately withdrew from the battle."
It was very difficult for the hull to be smashed and flooded, but it still arose.
This is not a torpedo attack, an attack with stones is more about causing damage to the deck.
But this time the stone fell on the right side of the waterline, and at the same time caused the plank under the boat to crack, and then it was hit by the waves a few times, and the crack became bigger and bigger.
After entering the water, the hull tilted, and it was no longer suitable for combat.
The reason is simple, the catapult is not working.
The boat started the power and slowly retreated to the rear.
Mu Han: They don't start the ship now, and of course, they are very fast if they want to maneuver.
Enemy ships kept rushing at them.
The ships in the front row were engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy, and the ballistas and archers kept firing, but the catapults did not stop.
At this time, the catapult continued to attack the distance.
Liu Renliang ordered that the last platoon attack the small boat rushed up by the enemy, and the first two platoons concentrated on attacking the enemy's large boat.
"Full rudder on the right, maneuver quickly to the left, avoiding enemy catapults."
Liu Renliang found that the enemy's maneuverability was poor, and at this time they entered the best range and angle, and at this time, they suddenly turned away.
With the propulsion unit, the boat was quickly launched, and some enemy boats even blocked the road in front.
In order not to break the formation, in order not to crash into your own ships, so these ships can only crash into the enemy.
The boat was overturned in one fell swoop, and Mu Han's ship was not feeling well, many of the crew members fell, and cracks appeared in many parts of the hull.
"Report, our catapult was smashed, request mobile combat."
Another ship was hit, this time the catapult was damaged.
There is only one catapult for a ship, and if it is broken, it can only be pulled to the shipyard for repair.
Liu Renliang received the message and asked the herald to order, "Agree to your ship's request, intercept the opponent's boat, use the firepower advantage to attack, and pay attention to maneuvering." ”
The boats, which had no catapults, voluntarily broke away from the army and prepared to swim away to attack.
Liu Renliang and they quickly maneuvered into place, drove two nautical miles to the right, and then adjusted the angle.
"Order, three platoons at the same time."
The catapult began to calibrate.
The pirates in the distance were dumbfounded, as their large ships temporarily lost their target.
"Quick, adjust the fleet."
"The ship turned around."
The enemy ships are hybrid, i.e. sails and oars.
The cabin was full of sailors paddling, and Mu Han's cabin under their ship had an extra layer of isolation, and a lot of stones were also loaded.
These stones can be used to attack, as well as to move stones and balance the boat if one side is flooded.
The enemy fleet is turning the bow of the ship and repositioning.
However, Muhan's fleet had already begun to attack.
This time they concentrated on attacking the enemy's large ships.
Dozens of large rocks rushed away.
Three rounds of attacks in a row, many stones fell on the bodies of these large ships.
A large ship, which was attacked several times at once.
"Click."
The mast of a 1,500-ton ship was smashed into sections.
However, the disaster did not end there, as the tall mast smashed down, destroying the catapult and causing many casualties.
A 1,500-ton warship suddenly lost half of its power and attack power.
If he still has to fight, he can only run to the front and attack with the ship's crossbow arrows.
Liu Renliang ordered the ships to concentrate on attacking the enemy's big ships, and the enemy's big ships immediately suffered serious damage.
The main forces of the enemy army will be under serious attack.
The pirate generals were immediately blindsided.
Their fleet was reasonably configured, and with the cooperation of large and small ships, it should have been a big victory, but the result turned out to be a miserable loss.
The pirate generals were very anxious, and they had suffered great losses by the beginning of the war.
More than two dozen large and small ships were sunk, and several large ships lost most of their combat effectiveness.
And the enemy, only a few battleships were wounded.
"Go up on the big ship and start a hand-to-hand battle with them."
If I can't beat you with a stone attack, then I'll attack with a crossbow arrow and an archer.
Mu Han's warship actually suffered a lot of injuries.
Several ships caught fire.
When an enemy approaches, they will throw oil at the ship, which will then be set on fire with a bow and arrow.
After the fire, Mu Han and they also had measures, and a lot of sandbags were put on the boat to extinguish the fire in time. However, some fires outside the hull are more difficult, and it took several times to extinguish the fire with water.
The enemy used a new tactic again, and this time all the ships rushed towards Mu Han's fleet.
Ruri was watching a little nervously.
"Brother Mu, the situation seems to be a little bad."
