Zhou Tai's fleet formed a three-column long snake formation, then turned sharply to the left, using the wind to draw a graceful arc on the sea, and at the same time, raindrops of canisters of fire oil and lit giant crossbows shot head-on towards the pirate fleet.

Zhou Tai held the wooden railing in front of him with both hands, and looked at the pirate's fleet with some nervousness, his eyes staring closely at the strings of small black dots and small flames still flying in the air, and then, one by one, the fireballs exploded on the pirate's ship, and of course, more fell into the surrounding sea.

"Six enemy ships were hit, eight were hit, two were fire-spreading, and the others did not cause significant damage1

The first detachment had about thirty ships, four catapults on each boat, six crossbows on one side, more than 100 oil tanks in a salvo, and 200 rockets, and it was able to hit eight enemy ships.

However, the enemy's losses are too small, even if the two pirates who have burned some of their sails can continue to fight after changing the sails, this painless attack effect can only show one problem, the pirates' offensive and defensive attributes are very high, at least not worse than Zhou Tai's troops.

The speed of the ship was like a loose horse under the blessing of a strong northwest wind, and in the blink of an eye, the contact surface with the enemy was detached, and there was not even a chance to fire a second time, but the subsequent ships also began to attack one by one.

Because of the first, the new, the new, the new, the succumb, the sorrel, the succumb, the sorrel, the succumb, the, the, the sorrel, the, the sorrel, the, the, the sorrel, the sorrel, the, the sorrel, the sorrel, the, the, the s p> When all the ships broke away from the attack and began to turn back to the north side, the overall statistics of the attack also came out, a total of forty-one enemy ships were hit, one was completely destroyed by the enemy ships, and thirteen temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, this is the result of the attack obtained by occupying an absolutely dominant position in the first round of the game Legend of the Heroes of the Three Kingdoms.

One was injured on his side, but he didn't lose his combat effectiveness. This exchange ratio is still good, but compared with the previous battles with pirates, this exchange ratio is really too bad, after all, where can ordinary pirates have a fast ship like Zhou Tai? The navy is different from the army, and the reason why the navy is called an aristocratic branch is not only because of the cost of equipment, but more importantly, because the navy is to some extent. More dependent on gaps in equipment.

It's just that the group of pirates that Zhou Tai is facing now are obviously similar to Zhou Tai's equipment and attributes, and Zhou Tai can take advantage of the main general, military division bonus and experience advantage, while the other party has an absolute numerical advantage.

Zhou Tai frowned, no matter how it was calculated. There's no chance of winning!

"The flotilla turned to the north-west 1

"Headwind?" Hua Xin asked in surprise, then nodded, understanding Zhou Tai's plan.

The pirates did catch up, and what was even more surprising was that the pirate ship actually had oars!

That's it. The Zhoutai fleet, which had to take the 'zigzag' route when the wind was headwinded, lagged behind in speed!

Zhou Tai's eyes burned as he stared at the pirate fleet that was chasing closer and closer. The expression on his face was calm and resolute, and although the sailors on the ship were amazed by the tenacity of the enemy, they had full confidence in their commander, so although they were serious and nervous, there was no trace of panic.

Everyone looked at Zhou Tai, waiting for his order!

"Left rudder thirty, turn southwest 1

The real fleet slammed away, as if flying on the sea, neatly drawing graceful arcs to the left.

"Turn due south, full speed 1

"Due south, full speed ahead 1

"Full sails, full speed 1

The boatswain was shouting loudly to deliver orders, and the sailors immediately pulled the ropes and lifted all the sails, and the master sailer turned the winch vigorously to adjust the angle of the sails, so that the sails could eat the full wind!

The huge ship shook violently, as if it had been kicked by someone, and suddenly leaped forward, and its speed increased sharply.

Zhou Tai's idea is very simple, that is, to try to bypass the opponent's fleet, go south, use his own ship speed, and see if he can get rid of this gang of pirates.

"Scouts at the front report that enemy troops were spotted due south1

The observer on the mast loudly reported the news transmitted through the flag from the scout ship that crisscrossed the seven seas, and Zhou Tai shook his head gloomily.

Hua Xin also sighed, so it seems that it is obviously not possible to bypass it, it will only attract more wild monsters, it seems that this border barrier is real, if you want to break through this barrier, you can only defeat the wild monsters in front of you one by one, and even slowly take Tsushima Island, it is obviously not possible to take advantage of it.

"Left rudder, turn east, detach at full speed 1

Zhou Tai once again gave an order to avoid the pirates in the south, if the pirates in the south were also provoked, his numerical disadvantage would be even greater, and he didn't have to fight this battle, just flee back to Busan.

"Youping, the enemy forces behind may chase us, do you want to put a dozen in the near future?"

"Give it a try, otherwise how can you fully understand the situation of these tough opponents1

"Well, pay attention to controlling the loss 1

"I will, these are our hard work 1 Zhou Tai looked back at his fleet, every boat was trained by him one hand and one foot, and any loss of Zhou Tai would be bleeding in his heart, but war is like this, how can there be a war without losses?

Soon the pirate ships on the northwest side were chasing after them, and they had been chasing them with paddle, and Hua Xin even doubted that the pirates' physical strength could support the next battle.

"Slow down and let the enemy catch up1

"Change formation, Double Dragon Formation 1

"Strategist 1

Hua Xin nodded:

"United 1: This is a military skill that increases your defensive attributes.

"Unstoppable1, this is a military skill that increases the speed of your own troops.

The two military divisions covered the entire fleet of their own ships, and a faint halo flashed. Zhou Tai grinned and ordered loudly!

"Divide the formation. Flank the enemy left and right, turn to the southeast, and control the ship's speed1

The pirates chasing behind were like a sharp arrow, slamming through Zhou Tai's fleet, but Zhou Tai's fleet was divided into two, and the pirates in the rear did not change their formation. From this point of view, the tactical level of the pirates is still slightly lower.

"Keep your distance, shoot in groups, shoot 1

Zhou Tai's change of formation caused the pirates to rush headlong into the middle of the Double Dragon Formation, and the two sides were parallel in the same direction, firing at each other, and the pirates blossomed in the middle of the game. The ship's trebuchets and rockets were projected to both sides, while Zhou Tai's troops kept a good distance and attacked the rebuilt pirate fleet, and the battle entered a state of mutual fire.

"The damage management team extinguishes the fire."

"The sailor changed the rear sail 1

"The idea is the support of the arrow board, and the broken rope is thrown into the sea1

At this time, the competition between the two sides is the degree of training. And then there's luck! Ship after ship begins to blaze with fire, and the trained side will immediately cut off the burning sails, let them drift out to sea, and then deviate outward from the fleet to replace the sails. Catch up again.

The pirates in the middle of the Double Dragon Formation were not so lucky, even if they were able to throw away the burning canvas. However, there was no way to temporarily get out of the battle, and the ship that lost power would immediately be hit like a target by the following ships and turn into a big fireball.

The two sides rushed all the way to the southeast, and as they became desperately entangled, the ships that were constantly on fire were thrown out of the fleet, and a passage was laid out of the sea, consisting of torches of the crippled children and sailors who carried floats and sunken sailors in the sea.

"The order was that the repaired ships did not pursue the main forces, searched for the officers who had fallen into the water in the rear, and withdrew to the northwest for the battle1

"No1

"Count materials, arrows, etc.1

"No1

The battle lasted for an hour or so, when the observer on the mast suddenly reported in a loud voice: "A large number of enemy troops have been found in the southeast direction, and a large number of enemy troops have been found in the south direction1

Zhou Tai exhaled and ordered loudly: "Full sail, full speed out of 1."

Zhou Tai's fleet occupied a small speed advantage with the addition of military skills, gradually separated from the enemy, and then turned to the northeast, and the pursuing enemy army did not use oars to pursue this time, presumably without that physical strength.

"The whole army turned, counted the losses, and advanced to the first rendezvous point."

"No1

Hua Xin rubbed his stiff cheeks, his dark face was still a little red, first of all, the battle just now was really a little thrilling, this kind of high-intensity war was the first time since Zhou Tai's fleet was formed, but the performance of Zhou Tai's fleet was not bad.

"It seems that these pirates are really powerful1

"Well, Ziyu, how much do you estimate the other party's loss?"

"I made a rough calculation just now, the opponent's loss is about a hundred ships, our side is thirty, the ratio of three to one, one fleet of the enemy is enough to fight us, if there is another one, we will definitely lose, but now there are three fleets every time, and there is no way to fight this battle for the time being."

"Well, you can only fight a war of attrition, I don't know how many soldiers are there?"

Zhou Tai's face twitched, obviously, these losses made Zhou Tai very painful!

Fang Zhiwen looked at Zhou Tai's report, didn't say anything for a long time, and after a while handed the battle report to Li Xueyin beside him, and then looked at Xun Yu and Zhen Jiang and said:

"Defeated, Zhou Tai was defeated, lost thirty ships, more than two thousand soldiers and sailors, captured three thousand pirates, destroyed one hundred and six pirate ships, lost the battle, and had withdrawn to the port of Busan1

Xun Yu frowned and said, "It seems that the lord's prediction is right, there is indeed a border barrier1."

Fang Zhiwen nodded, looked at the three important assistants very solemnly and said, "I have decided!" Within a year, the size of the navy was doubled, the size of the army remained the same, and only the heavy ballista cavalry was reloaded, and the funds were tilted towards the heavy cavalry. ”

Xun Yu exchanged colors with Li Xueyin and Zhen Jiang, and replied solemnly: "The subordinates will fully cooperate with 1."
