Chapter 996: What a big surprise
The Paradise sailors stopped, forcing Ferdinand to order the fleet to change direction and avoid it, so it took a lot of time to reorient.
The Spanish fleet adjusted its direction, Ferdinand ordered the sails to be lowered, stopped on the sea about 4,000 meters away from the paradise sailors, and then hurried to the bow of the ship with the first mate and looked over there from afar.
"Alandor, what do they want?" Ferdinand looked across the side, his brow furrowed. The Xanadu Sailor suddenly changed his tactics, making him a little unsure of his mind and worried about whether there would be a conspiracy.
"Captain, look, the flotilla in front of them is moving backwards, as if trying to surround us." The first mate pointed ahead and shouted a little nervously.
Ferdinand chuckled inwardly.
The Red Sea is long and narrow, and compared to the vast Mediterranean, there is not much room to avoid it. Once the Xanadu Sailor has a certain number of casualties, he will surround his own side...... Angels are certainly an air force branch, but they are only a branch of the army after all.
More than 2,000 angels can kill and injure several times or even dozens of times the Xanadu army, but unfortunately they can't destroy the enemy ships, let alone help their own side break through.
"Raise the sails, keep the momentum, and test them first." Ferdinand thought for a moment, then ordered.
The sails were raised, and the Spanish fleet regained its speed, always cruising slowly outside the range of more than 4,000 meters, and at the same time, more than 2,000 angels flew into the air again, and the black pressure pounced on the paradise sailors.
What Ferdinand didn't know was that the Paradise Sailor ship that was moving behind was not Zhou Yu's own ship.
Jia Xu stood with his hands in his hands. He was on a Qiankunlou ship, but he was at the front. On the deck of as many as five floors, there were many people holding giant bows, wearing leather armor and leather helmets, and in front of each of them were three full quivers, which were none other than Huang Zhong's headquarters shooting the sun and flying horses.
"Fanbang barbarians, how can you show off your might?" Jia Xu watched the dense angels roar over, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, Huang Zhong, who had already boarded the ship in advance, was in high spirits, and immediately ordered.
Almost at the same time, including the Qiankunlou ship where Jia Xu was, the deck of the Xanadu Sailor warship, which was moving to the rear, moved when it boarded.
Scattered across the decks of the ships, the Sunshooter immediately drew an arrow from the quiver in front of him. The nearly one-man tall giant bow, the bowstring the thickness of the little finger was pulled apart by the well-proportioned but powerful big hand, and the sharp arrows the thickness of the thumb were aimed at the oncoming army of angels.
Jia Xu raised his head and saw the angel army approaching within a thousand meters, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed inside, until the angel army flew within about three hundred meters, and waved his hand downward.
"Shoot the arrows."
In an instant, the sound of countless bowstrings loosening converged into a loud bang. Thousands of sharp arrows barely saw the slightest trace, and they soared into the air like lightning.
In less than two seconds, there were screams in the angelic army, blood was flying, and only a salvo was fired, and at least more than 300 angels were hit by arrows, and they fell down with a whirl.
"It's a pity that the prince has such a divine weapon, but he is negligent in the battle array." Jia Xu sighed in his heart, glanced at Huang Zhong with a calm face from the corner of his eye, and shook his head almost undetectably.
The Xanadu Sailor has been in the limelight since its launch, and although Lu Yao is also concerned about the development of the army, there is a difference after all. After all, the Xanadu Water Master is too powerful, which makes Lu Yao involuntarily biased.
And he is different.
As one of the most scheming top strategists in the Three Kingdoms period, he can be said to be dedicated to Lu Yao, not seeking to be known to the princes, but only seeking to be conscientious and conscientious. Therefore, whether it is the Xanadu Water Division or the Army with almost no achievements, he treats everyone equally in his heart.
If you want to say that the person who knows the whole army of Xanadu the most, it is him, which is not even comparable to Lu Yao.
As the Xanadu Water Master became more and more valued by Lu Yao, he did not relax his attention to the four ancient special troops that Lu Yao brought back, but unfortunately almost all the previous battles were covered by the Xanadu Water Master, and he couldn't find a chance to advise.
And Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun are extremely loyal, they have no competitive heart, and work hard for Lu Yao. These two don't come out, Zhang Liao, and Yu Ban are embarrassed to stand up.
As a poisoner who knows human nature well, he will naturally not stand up for the army at all costs.
Jia Xu was thinking about it, the second wave of salvo had already begun, and the unprepared angel army was knocked out by a wave of salvo by more than 300 people, and he couldn't stop for a while, and the distance had been shortened to more than 200 meters.
The rain of arrows came, and the angel army was hit by more than five hundred again, and the angels who were hit by the arrows suddenly fell down like dumplings. However, the super self-healing power allowed them to heal quickly, except for a few unlucky ghosts who were hit by the angel core, the other angels pulled out their sharp arrows, flapped their wings, and struggled to fly again.
"Fanbang barbarians are a bit wonderful." A flash of surprise flashed in Jia Xu's eyes.
"It's a pity." Huang Zhong couldn't help but slap the side of the boat with hatred, and he was so annoyed that he couldn't do it.
Shooting the sun and flying horses to eradicate bandits such as rogues cannot be said to be without good life training. It's just that the angel's flight speed is extremely fast, and the first time he encountered this kind of opponent's sun-shooting flying horse was accurate, but he failed to hit the angel's core. How could he not be annoyed that he had missed the opportunity that was most likely to inflict a heavy blow on the angelic army.
"Fetch the bow."
As soon as Huang Zhong stretched out his big hand, a small school immediately sent a big bow. He tried, and though it was not very handy, it was not bad, and immediately drew his bow and arrow, and shot at an angel who had just struggled to fly out of the water.
Shooting Huang Zhong is not in vain.
Although it was just an ordinary arrow, it pierced the angel's heart cleanly, shattered the angel's core, landed on the spot, and fell back into the sea.
"Listen to me!"
Huang Zhong took another sharp arrow and put it on the bowstring, let out a loud shout, and then shot another angel who was speeding up on the spot.
In an instant, the Sun-Shooting Flying Cavalry on the decks of many warships received instructions from the commander, and they opened their bows and arrows again. The rain of arrows rained down, and at least 300 angels who had just taken off from the sea were pierced through the core of the angels and could no longer fly.
Without waiting for Huang Zhong to continue to instruct, many sun-shooting flying horses had already begun to shoot freely. The arrows were shot out in a burst of fire, with a hit rate of more than 80 percent, and the lethality rate accounted for 80 percent of them.
In the blink of an eye, less than a hundred of the more than 800 angels who had fallen into the water and almost 900 of them flew back into the sky, fleeing in a panic above the Paradise Water Master.
Jia Xu sighed secretly in his heart, after suffering this big loss, he thought that those angels would not continue to show off their power unscrupulously, but it was a pity that it was a good opportunity to expand the results of the battle.
"Strategist." Huang Zhong suddenly exclaimed.
Jia Xu looked back, but saw Huang Zhong pointing at a sun-shooting flying horseman who was stunned and speechless. When he looked at it again, he was also shocked.
It's not just the Sun-Shooting Rider, all the Sun-Shooting Riders in sight are changing, and it won't be long before they stabilize. I saw that the Sun Shooting Flying Rider was more evenly proportioned, and the giant bow in his hand reached more than a person's height, as if it had become an out-and-out murder weapon.
Jia Xu was stunned for a long time, and then said with surprise and joy: "Go and report to the prince quickly." ”
