Chapter 718: There is no child's play in naval battles

The sea made the sound of breaking waves, and Drok rode the Devil's boat and led the men to land, where they were to land on a tidal flat.

Lan Qianye had already sent someone to inspect this place, and the boat could not dock directly, so he could only let the mermaid escort him to swim across this muddy beach.

As soon as Zhuo Ke left, Qu Chi dived into the sea with some mermaids and swam towards the port, preparing to attack the warship of the Zou State Naval Division from the bottom.

It had been reconnoitred before the war, and in addition to the civilian ships in the harbor, there were twenty-one warships of all sizes anchored here.

Waiting for the two teams to leave, Yu Feng commanded five warships and quickly rushed towards the port. As we approached the port, the shuttle parked on the ship was the first to rise and fly through the night to the port.

The key to this battle is to be quick and destroy and damage those ships before the enemy can react. If he let it swarm out, Wu Yan didn't dare to guarantee that his five ships could withstand the siege of the other party. Naval warfare is not as good as land warfare, and once the ship is destroyed, no matter how brave the soldiers are, they can only die at sea.

Therefore, in many cases, the requirement for a sailor is not how high the personal force is, but the ability to skillfully use the weapons on his own ship to destroy the opponent. If it is really time to engage in a string battle, it means that both sides are exhausted, and they can only rely on hand-to-hand combat to decide the victory.

Wu Yan lay on the bow of the boat, curiously observing the movement in the harbor. Although Zou Guoshui is not as strong as the Divine Sect, after all, it is in the same line, and Wu Gan wants to estimate the combat power of the Divine Sect from the battle with it, so as to prepare for the future duel.

Taking advantage of the night, five warships rushed into the harbor, and under the guidance of a shuttle in the air, they rushed towards the place where the warships of the Zou State Navy Division gathered.

It was the middle of the night, and the harbor was peaceful, and the sea gently lapped against the boats in the harbor. In the sparkling waves, the wide fishtail of the mermaid looms in it.

The battle began first with the roar of rockets, and the five warships lined up, and on the side facing the harbor, countless fireflies flew up, and bright stars suddenly appeared on the sea. The light of the fire is refracted in the seawater, attracting some nocturnal fish.

Boom, a ship leaning on the shore suddenly exploded, bursting into thousands of brilliant flowing fires, like a gorgeous jade tassel released on a black curtain.

Flowers cut through the darkness, illuminating the boats around them, waking up the people who were still sleeping on the shore and the fish swimming in the sea.

The stone cart on the Swing God threw a fire bomb again, and with the light of the burning light of the opposing ship, it extended towards the ship next to it. These flying stone vehicles have been transformed by the bridge class, and they can be installed on such a large ship, and they can be combined with the rockets of the Thousand Ox Crossbow, which can be described as a sharp weapon for long-range warfare.

By the harbor, from time to time, some of the small boats of Zou Guo's sailors gushed out of the seawater, which was the mermaid who had dived under the water in advance and scuttled through the bottom of the boat. As for those lotus thunder and snake carvings, due to the excessive consumption of spiritual jade, Wu Yan was reluctant to release them as a last resort.

The battle happened very suddenly, and these Zou Guoshui divisions stationed in the harbor were stunned, and many of them ran out of the cabin and the barracks on the shore with their pants, watching in horror as the raging fire ignited in the harbor.

For many years, under the protection and pressure of the Divine Sect, the countries of Tianyuan Continent have been at peace with each other, and the war seems to be very far away from here. Even those pirates who wandered in the misty sea did not dare to face the sailor, but just avoided it from a distance like rats in the gutter. What kind of person is it that dares to violate the ban of the Divine Cult and raise a sword without permission.

At the same time, beside the camp outside the port, there were also earth-shattering shouts of killing. Chok led the right army and the naval division into the opponent's camp and prevented it from supporting the defenders of Daliang City and the port.

Soon, the flames of war extended from the sea to the shore, and there were fires everywhere, and everywhere were Zou Guoshui soldiers scurrying like headless flies.

"There are tails, they are shepherds, they are shepherds." Someone screamed in horror. With this sound, the atmosphere of panic quickly spread.

As sailors, they knew that the reason why so many people disappeared every year was because they were transported to Kuntianzhou.

Under the deliberate exaggeration of the Divine Cult, the rumor that the shepherds feed on the human race has long been the consensus of Tianyuan Continent. So when I suddenly saw these shepherds, the only thought of these sailors was to escape. Those who could not escape did not dare to surrender, for fear of being chewed into the stomach by these terrible shepherds.

This kind of situation was something that Wu Gen and Hu Jia did not expect. On a large scale, the Dreadnought has an overall advantage. But when encircling and suppressing these small groups of enemies, they encountered fierce resistance, and the fear of becoming an ingredient far outweighed the sharpness of the sword.

Finally, the remaining warships in the Zou State Naval Division began to counterattack. At first, it was just a scattered number of arrows, but gradually, a ship moved, trying to turn around and rush out of the harbor. After all, Wu Gen only had five warships, how could he cover the entire port.

A ship with ripples on its hull rushed desperately towards the sea, despite the fire on the other ships behind it. It seems that the formation on the ship should have been activated.

"The Swinging God catches up, and the other ships continue to intercept the opposing ships." Wu Gan, who was sitting on the bow of the boat with itchy hands, stood up with great interest, and directly crossed Yu Feng and Hu Jia to give an order.

The Swinger withdrew from the queue and turned around and rushed towards the ship that was about to leave the port. The bridge team has arranged formations on each ship, and in such a short distance, it can be quickly started without taking advantage of the wind.

The two boats one after the other, like two blue sharks chasing in the sea, tearing the water and running towards the sea. Thanks to the means of the bridge class, the speed of such a huge hull of the Swinging God is not inferior to that of the opponent at all, and the distance between the two is shortening a little.

Wu Gan, who stayed in the bow of the ship, was a little distressed, because the Swing God was behind and the enemy ship was in front, the opponent's arrows were easier to shoot at him. As a result, from time to time, a burst of fire would burst out of the ship, igniting the curtains that were used for decoration.

Fortunately, the ship was well prepared before the battle, but it did not let the fire spread. Wu Yan was a little annoyed, and regardless of the consumption of spiritual jade, he ordered to vigorously urge the formation. The huge Swing God crashed through the waves, and pounced on each other like an angry beast.

As the distance approached, the long-range advantage of the Swing God became more and more obvious, and all crossbow arrows were fired in unison, and one after another fire bombs were thrown by the stone cart, which quickly suppressed the opponent's shooting. After all, the opponent fled in a hurry, and the ship did not have time to match a volley. It won't be long before the ship will end up with a shipwreck.

"Fight me, hum." Wu Jian stepped on the string of the boat with one foot and whipped down an arrow that flew crookedly.

Suddenly, Wu Gan's complexion changed greatly, and he saw that on the hull of the enemy ship a hundred steps away, spots of light suddenly appeared.

The spots of light quickly swam around the ship, eventually converging into a white vortex that was aligned in the direction of the Swinging God.

"Turn, snake eagle attack." Wu Jian yelled behind him, this white vortex gave him a very bad feeling. At the same time, he no longer cared about pretending to be superior, jumped up, slashed forward with his broken knife, and a majestic wave of qi rushed towards the enemy ship.

Two bright pillars of light appeared at the same time in the night, one from the Swinging God, and the other from the Zou warship. The two pillars of light were like two sharp swords, staggering past each other, stabbing at each other mercilessly.

There was a slight noise, and a large hole appeared on the roof of the five-story building of the Swinging God.

At the same time, there was a big hole in the bow of the Zou warship. Thanks to Wu Gan's unhesitating blow, the hull of the Zou State warship was swayed by the sword, and it did not hit the hull of the Dangshen. At the same time, due to the hasty turn of the Swinging God, the snake eagle did not directly hit the opponent's vital point.

"Go forward with all your might, sink it, and don't stop the snake carving." Yu Feng did not wait for Wu Gan's order, and loudly urged his subordinates to continue the attack.

At this time, whoever is slow will be hit by the other party. As a result, the snake eagle struck first before the white vortex of the opponent's warship reappeared, so that the opponent's attack came to an abrupt end before it was ready.

The hull of the Swinging God began to shake violently, roaring towards the enemy ship, which meant that the formation on the ship had been pushed to the extreme.

A loud bang followed, followed by a series of cracking logs, and the angle of the bow of the Swinging God pierced straight into the hull of the opponent's ship, and pushed it forward for more than a hundred zhang to break away. During this time, the soldiers on the Swing God frantically fired rockets at their opponents, and the opponent's ship was on fire, and the sailors on board jumped into the sea.

A figure appeared on the surface of the sea, stepping on the wooden bars floating on the water, and quickly fled in the direction of the shore.

Looking at the big black hole above his head, Wu Yan was already a little annoyed and angry at this time, his body jumped up, and he reached behind this person in a few steps, grabbed the back of the other party's neck, and carried it back to the Swinging God.

Throwing this person into the ship, Wu Yan shouted to Yu Feng and ordered, "Return to the harbor and support the other warships." ”

The Swinging God rushed back like crazy, and Wu Yan had calmed down at this time. Today, he made a big mistake by transferring the flagship away from the pursuit of the enemy without authorization, which not only confused the command, but also exposed a hole in the battle line.

Too light on the enemy, regard the war as child's play, and do not anticipate the reaction of the other party when he is cornered, even the lotus thunder and other weapons with huge lethality, are reluctant to use them because of stinginess, and in the end they are forced to launch.

When they entered the port, the four warships under the command of Wang Yang, Ran Peng and others were close together, and they were suppressing the Zou family sailors who were trying to counterattack, and the hull was also damaged.

"Pass the order, don't spare those spirit jades, and attack with all your might. Those ships that are about to escape, leave those who can't be stopped, and let them go. Wu Gan gave an order in a deep voice. As a result, the five warships shone brightly, and all kinds of flying thunder, snake eagles, and sky-shaking bows were fired in unison, and the powerful offensive gradually suppressed the other party.

At this time, more than a dozen small ships came from outside the port, and these ships were the pirate ships that transported Zhuo Ke landing, and seeing that the fighting in the port continued, under the leadership of Qu Luo, they decisively turned around and rushed into the port to support five warships.

With the addition of these ships, the war gradually came to an end, and except for two or three ships that escaped, the rest of the Zou family sailors were blocked in the harbor.

"Lord, our ship might as well shoot at close range to deter the remnants of the enemy and support the land battle." Yu Feng saw that Wu Yan was sitting peacefully on the boat and was silent, so he hurriedly suggested.

"Whose idea was it to have four ships in one place?" Wu Yan suddenly asked.

"It was Wang Yang and Ran Peng's idea, they saw that the opponent's counterattack was very strong and our ships were few, so they gave up on intercepting the opponent in an all-round way, and instead focused on attacking the big ships." Seeing that Wu Gan's face was a little ugly, Yu Feng responded cautiously, "Master of the village, as the deputy commander of the water division, I have improper command, and I have not been able to stop all the opponents, and I am the first to fail." ”

Gu Miao on the side also stepped forward to ask for guilt, he was placed on other warships by Wu Qian to deal with the enemies of the Five Realms. As for Lan Chiba, he has killed the enemy on land with Zhuoke.

Looking at everyone's panicked faces, Wu Yan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If it weren't for Wang Yang and Qu Luo who made a quick decision, I wouldn't have been able to fight a bad battle today." The main sin in today's war is mine, and I am too light of the enemy. Next, you command the sailors yourself, and I will not interfere at will. ”
