On the rippling river, the three giant bamboo ships of the Divine Envoy King's Legion have been arranged in a battle formation, and all the sailors and artillerymen are in their respective positions, ready for battle.

Different from the formation of three ships in a row during the last breakout battle, this time the three ships were arranged in a column, facing each other from end to end, and each ship was separated by about three captains' distance. The three giant bamboo ships were sailing west of the center of the river, closer to the bank that was completely controlled by the Destroyer army.

In the sky, the flight path drawn by the flying knight showed that the nearest ant-flesh pontoon bridge of the Destroyer was not far ahead. Without even the guidance of the flying knight, Zhu Jue relied on himself unusually on the newly built simple bridge. With the eyesight of an ant, he could already see the densely packed swarms of wriggling Destroyers on the pontoon.

Zhu Jue issued an order, and his lead ship fired a trumpet, and then the three warships began to accelerate. Compared with the original method of flying knights to convey orders, today's trumpets convey orders more quickly, but they cannot convey overly complex orders.

On the three giant bamboo ships, the masts that were originally only half-sailed, the canvas with the original yellow and white color of plant fibers was pulled to the highest and largest size. Under today's favorable wind, it immediately bulged into a big bag, full of bags. flowing air.

The originally stationary paddle wheels on both sides of the ship also started slowly. Driven by the invisible ants in the cabin who were desperately pushing the turntable, the paddle wheels went from slow to fast, making the sound of splashing water.

Although it was going upstream today, with the support of the wind and the power of the paddle wheel, the speed of the three giant bamboo ships quickly increased, even exceeding the speed of going down the river during the last water battle. For ships, as long as the sails have sufficient force, the tailwind can defeat the countercurrent!

The pointed bow of Zhu Jue's lead ship split the waves. On the undulating water, the giant bamboo ship bumped up and down and rushed forward quickly, drawing an obvious trajectory on the river.

At this time, the Destroyer's pontoon bridge is already in sight. There are as many as hundreds of thousands of Destroyers crowding on the pontoon bridge and on both sides of the river. Most of them are still waiting to cross the bridge on the west bank. Only a few have already crossed the river and are on the bridge. .

The rapid approach of the warships of the God Envoy King's Legion has attracted the Destroyer's attention. There are radar destroyers among the destroyers on this road, but there are not many God Envoy King warriors in the ship. The radar destroyers have discovered them before but did not pay attention to them, because there are many thousands of army ant troops active nearby. A legion of this size should pose no danger to the Destroyers crossing the river.

But now, when the giant bamboo ship appeared in the field of vision, all the destroyers instinctively sensed the danger!

The giant bamboo ship did not slow down at all as it approached the pontoon. The sails were still hung high, and the swollen bulge looked like a newborn ant egg. The paddle wheel is also driving hard, and the splashing water looks like broken silver in the sun.

Soon, the Radar Destroyer understood that the God Envoy King's army riding on the "bamboo tube" was planning to directly hit the pontoon bridge!

The Destroyers had no way to counterattack the impending collision of the giant bamboo ships and could only wait passively. But the Destroyers are not completely helpless. Although this Destroyer did not participate in the last pursuit of the Angel King's fleet, the response methods they thought of were similar to the previous batch of Destroyers - driven by the Radar Destroyer Below, a large number of Destroyers stopped crossing the river. They gathered at the location where the "pontoon bridge" was about to be hit, making the "pontoon bridge" here thicker.

This is to use the flesh and blood of the Destroyer to resist the impact of the ship, and then wait for it to slow down and then swarm it onto the ship to fight hand-to-hand, just like before.

After the last experience, Zhu Jue didn't know how the Destroyer would respond. The modification on the giant bamboo ship was to deal with this situation.

At this time, the artillery on the decks on both sides of the giant bamboo ship had turned its muzzle, aiming at the pontoon bridge diagonally ahead, and constantly adjusted its position. But the artillery did not fire, because the recoil would reduce the speed and impact of the ship. The artillerymen were waiting for the order to fire from the Divine Envoy King, and Zhu Jue was waiting for the right time!

The rocket launcher on the bow of the ship has also been loaded, and the iron-barrel rockets have been loaded into the barrel. A full 16 rounds of rocket launchers have been aimed at the pontoon bridge directly ahead, and they are also waiting for the order to launch!

But Zhu Jue still didn't give the order to shoot until the Destroyer's physical "pontoon" got closer and closer! Getting closer! Getting closer!

It was so close that the rocket launcher could clearly see the wide-open jaws of the Destroyer not far away and the saliva flowing from his mouthparts, when he finally heard a gunshot!

Following the sound of the cannon, the eager rocket artillerymen immediately ignited their weapons, and then hurriedly hid in the bunker next to them. As flames bloomed, the bamboo skin on the deck quickly turned black. Accompanied by the sound of "whoosh, whoosh", rockets flew out of the sky and plunged directly into the pontoon less than half a meter away in almost an instant. Sparks bloomed with a loud noise.

This volley of rocket launchers was like shooting in the face. Although the processing technology of the rockets was not high and the coverage was very large at a long distance, the rockets would fly around. But at such a close range, all 16 rockets penetrated into a relatively small area. In a smaller area, two-thirds of the rockets exploded on the pontoon, causing a large number of casualties. Near misses also set off waves of huge waves, helping to destroy the Destroyer's ant-flesh "pontoon"!

I saw a sudden flash of fire on the west section of the pontoon bridge, a loud noise, huge waves rolling, and flesh and blood flying everywhere. The entire physical "pontoon bridge" seemed to be broken into pieces like a branch broken with a "click". It split into two parts, front and back, and then drifted downstream separately under the impact of the current. Countless Destroyers who fell into the water, dead or alive, were also washed down by the current!

Zhu Jue's ship also paused suddenly due to the recoil of the rocket launcher, but then picked up speed again and rushed towards the gap in the pontoon bridge that had been blown up. Except for the scattered Destroyers or corpses on the water, there is no longer a pontoon bridge built by the Destroyer's body to block it!

When the lead ship passed through the gap in the pontoon bridge, some big-bellied destroyers that had recovered from the power of the rocket launchers were still spraying acid slime in vain that could not reach the ship, even though the pontoon bridge was tilted and not far away from the giant bamboo ship. Floating on the water in the distance, these long-range destroyers can only shoot a few tens of centimeters. Even if they can barely spray the acid slime, there is nothing they can do against the giant ship with high sides. There were little stains left on it.

What responded to them was the deafening and continuous sound of cannons from the giant ship that was already sailing forward!
