"The second step is to release our hot air balloon air force!"

Zhen Youqian pointed to the small point in the distance from the rise of the Datang battleship, although it was far away, but everyone knew that it must be a hot air balloon released by Datang.

In the battle of Baozi City that year, Da Wei Ke also suffered a lot of losses from hot air balloons.

Human beings have never given up conquering this sky one day, there were spies in Chang'an who could secretly make hot air balloons to prepare to blow up the ammunition depot of the Tang Dynasty, and Dawei has naturally found some ways to make hot air balloons for so many years.

Although their current hot air balloon is almost the level that Datang is most open, they can't turn except for lift-off, and they can only rely on wind power or be dragged by warships to move forward, but this is still an air power that cannot be underestimated.

After all, as long as you know the method of this thing, it is not too difficult to build it, and with the financial resources of Great Wei, it has prepared a lot at once.

And they have all seen artillery, and they know that it is impossible for Datang to mount artillery on top of the hot air balloon, so everyone's attack methods on the hot air balloon are the same.

In addition to throwing fire oil below, they are shooting at each other with bows and crossbows.

Another reason why Dawei chose to attack today is the direction of the wind, and the current wind direction is blowing in the direction of the Datang Navy, so even if everyone uses the battleship to lead the hot air balloon, their own hot air balloon will definitely float to the sky above the Datang Navy first, and when the time comes, as long as the oil is thrown down, they will have one less Datang warship.

With Zhen Xiong's order, almost every large battleship of the Great Wei Navy had one or two hot air balloons lifted into the air, and their number was more than ten times that of the Tang Dynasty, which was described as overwhelming, but it was not an exaggeration at all.

"Report, dozens of warships in the Datang Navy have begun to retreat, and two more are heading towards our flank, which is extremely fast, but there are still a few warships coming towards us."

The lookout above the flagship shouted.

"Do you want to run? And then how many warships to break the rear?" Zhen Xiong muttered with some uncertainty.

If it's him on the other side, this should be the best option.

Dozens of warships against their own Great Wei Navy are just mantis arms as vehicles. The opponent's ideal way of fighting should be to divide and break, so Tang Ping deceived more than 100 warships in Maoshanjiao through his own son of a loser.

Now in the face of the full combat power of his Great Wei Navy, the other party is afraid that he will not be able to win, so he wants to use a few warships to break the rear, give other warships a chance to escape, and then deal with his own guerrilla warfare in the future?

You must know that it is impossible for your Great Wei Navy to come out of this vast sea like this for a long time, and hide from their Great Tang Navy. But just these few warships, want to break off? You also look down on your own Great Wei Navy too much, right?

"Father, I'm afraid it's a fraud, please don't take it lightly." Zhen Youqian said suddenly at this time.

"Oh? Why?"

"Because ......," Zhen Youqian hesitated for a moment and said, "Erchen doesn't think Tang Ping is the kind of person who would give up his comrades......

This is the feeling he and Tang Ping have felt after a period of time on a desert island, although there is no convincing force, but he just intuitively feels that Tang Ping is definitely not the character of letting some people break off and then run first.

Zhen Xiong shook his head, it seems that his son is still a little tender.

"The popular words of the Tang Dynasty are the Three Kingdoms, have you seen them?"

"Son's look...... The sons have listened to the singers and sang."

"Since you know, then how did Zhuge retreat from Sima Yi when he was surrounded by the Wei army after the Jieting was lost?"

Zhen Youqian thought for a moment, and then said, "Father is the emperor who said...... Empty city?"

"That's right, the way of using troops is false and real, and now on the surface, this Tang Ping only sent a few warships to fight, which is extremely unreasonable. He can't help but think that this is some kind of ploy."

"I don't know that such a method is still a little tender here for my father. You have to remember that the method of using military force is to encircle it ten times and attack it five times. Now the strength of our army is more than ten times that of the opposite side, which is vast

On the vast sea, can he Tang Ping still call for wind and rain? If not, then the army can cover up and kill, and there is no need to hesitate."

Although Zhen Youqian felt that what Zhen Xiong said made sense, he faintly felt that it was wrong in his heart.

However, the battlefield situation at this time could not help them think too much, because the assault ships of the Great Wei Navy had already approached the few warships left behind by the Great Tang Navy at an extremely fast speed.

Datang didn't expect that the Great Wei Navy would use so many small ships to charge, after all, in the past, when Qian Laosan and Luo Siye dealt with the East Vietnamese Navy, they relied on huge new warships to crush their pirate ships.

Although these warships of the Datang East China Sea Fleet are mainly powered by steam engines, after all, the ships are large, and when they turn around, they are still not as fast as these small clippers approaching at high speed.

Therefore, Qian Laosan and Master Luo also gave an order immediately.

"All gun emplacements, two salvos. Then the musketeers are ready to engage in battle."

What Zhen Xiong of the Great Wei Navy did not calculate was that although the Datang Navy was equipped with artillery, it was not the big and stupid Tang Shenwei Cannon that would be used in Baozi City, but the Tang Shenwei Cannon 2.0 version modified by Li Tai based on the Franji cannon.

Its power and range are not as good as the Datang Shenwei cannon in the past, but the rate of fire is much faster.

The current East China Sea Fleet several warships are not far apart, and they are not more than three kilometers away from the Taihao ship in the middle, so they don't even need to use the flag, and the orders of the two are transmitted through the walkie-talkie.

Just after the swarm-like assault ships of the Great Wei Navy entered the range of artillery bombardment, Tang Ping's artillery specially prepared for naval battles really appeared in this world for the first time.

You must know that the last time I intimidated Qian Laosan, I didn't use all my strength.

Each battleship had more than a dozen gun emplacements on the side of the ship, which was a hundred guns in unison.

The Great Wei Navy can't say that they haven't seen the world, they have been galloping the sea for many years, what kind of wind and rain have not been seen?

Even if Tang Ping and Zhen Youqian encountered a typhoon, they had seen it a few times.

But this is the first time I've seen this kind of scene.

The roar was endless, and some assault ships were directly hit, so needless to say, they were directly sunk on the spot.

Although some shells did not hit those assault ships, the waves set off by the waves may not be anything for a large warship, but for such a small ship, it is also a catastrophe.

Many assault ships were not hit, but were overturned by the waves.

"Rush, only by rushing past can you survive!"

There were people on these assault ships who shouted, and they knew what their role was from the moment they got on board, that is, to consume the opponent's ammunition and artillery reloading time.

If they retreat now, not only will they not be able to please them, but even their families in China will not have a good life.

On the contrary, it is now a fearless charge, and there is still a lot of possibility to live.

There were a large number of these assault ships, and although a little more than a third of the assault ships were knocked out by two salvos, the others were still approaching the Datang Navy.

Zhen Xiong was also startled when he saw a hundred cannons fired on the other side, although he still looked calm and normal on his face, but in fact, his toes were tightened.

He almost blurted out an order for the battleships behind him to hold off.

Fortunately, he held back, and watched as almost two-thirds of the assault ships approached the Datang Navy, and after two salvos of the Datang Navy, the artillery fell silent.

He thought he was loading the shells, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"You Qian, do you see? The army is impermanent, and the artillery of the Datang Navy just now really surprised me, but what is the use? In the face of absolute strength, it's all in vain, hahahaha, the overall situation has been decided!"
