Of the two battle camp-class ships, one was directly crushed into the water, while the other played some tricks and became riddled with holes in the blink of an eye, losing its combat effectiveness.
The following ships were all a little uneasy and didn't know what to do for a while.
well.
The generals let out a long sigh.
Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing goods.
Occupying the channel could not withstand the collision angle of the Yulong, and it was just as Lu Yulong wanted to pass the front, and it could not withstand the intensive firepower from the opponent's side.
Whoosh.
Flags flew from behind.
The Japanese pirate fleet on the right side of the "eight" turned collectively and sailed diagonally towards the Yulong.
In an era without missiles and torpedoes, the ram can be said to be the sharpest weapon of a battleship.
But it all depends on speed.
Without speed, you can't catch up with the enemy, and without speed, you can't cut through the enemy's hull.
For the huge warrior class, it is not without its shortcomings. For example, speed and steering have always been a big problem.
Now the Japanese pirate fleet on the right side of the character "eight" rushed towards the side of the Yulong.
Anyone with a discerning eye will know that they just want to make a few holes in its relatively weak side, and at the worst, they will break the oar on its right side. Let the Yulong lose some of its power.
A ship that loses power is just a living target. No matter how big the ship is, it will be sunk sooner or later.
Whoosh.
The speed of the Jade Dragon continued unabated, and the soldiers waved their command flags.
Soldiers will come to block it, and water will come and the soil will be flooded.
The battle battalion class that followed it closely did not hesitate to deviate from the original channel, speeding up to meet the Japanese pirate ship on the right.
"Prepare, release!"
Rest, rest, rest.
Hoo ho ho.
The heavy crossbows and trebuchets on both sides were launched continuously, roaring towards their targets.
The four general-class ships behind the Japanese pirates could be seen clearly, and the generals looked ugly.
You come and I come, and my quality is better and my quantity is greater.
Not long after, two Japanese pirate warships were seriously damaged and their speed slowed down.
Without speed, it is a fixed target.
Take advantage of his illness and kill him.
The two unlucky guys were immediately besieged by the collective. After a while, the keel began to creak and groan, and the hull of the ship was ignited with blazing fire, burning the faces of the soldiers above with despair.
Crash.
The Jade Dragon was moving forward in front of him, and the Japanese pirates' generals finally could no longer sit still.
The Nomura and Tsugu opened a distance of two miles, and moved toward the Yulong from the left and right.
The six ships on the left side of the character "eight" collectively blocked the front.
Hold.
Lu Yulong's bodyguard cursed, "Japanese pirates are shameless."
"General," he said urgently: "As long as our ship is slightly blocked by the six battle camp ships in front, if we lose speed, the Nomura and Tsuya may hit us from both sides and cut us off."
"My subordinates suggest changing direction immediately to increase the distance between the two Warlord-class ships."
Lu Yulong stood at the bow of the boat with an expressionless face, seemingly not hearing the words around him.
If the Yulong is equipped with a shore-based anti-sea ballista, it can actually give it a try with the two Japanese pirate warships.
But let alone the Jade Dragon or the Protector of the Country, they couldn't hold those powerful weapons.
East China Sea Barrier once tried to reluctantly install them on the Warrior class, but the deck was directly torn when winding and could not be started at all.
Unless the legendary Warmaster class is built in the future, it is estimated that it will not be able to accommodate this kind of weapon.
As for now, heavy crossbows and trebuchets alone are basically unable to defeat enemies of the same tonnage.
If the opponent's angle hits the side hard, it is possible that the ship will sink and people will be killed.
"General," seeing the battalion standing in front of them getting closer and closer, several personal guards hurriedly said, "Change the direction. Otherwise it will be too late."
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, another violent explosion came from the direction of the dock.
Everyone was startled and couldn't help but raise their heads to look for information.
A flash of light in the distance illuminated half of the eastern sky.
The soldiers on the Jade Dragon were deeply troubled.
They both went back and forth, firing countless heavy crossbows, fireballs and stones, but they were able to sink or damage one or two enemy warships.
And with this explosion just now, at least one battle camp class was blown to pieces.
"Send the order, don't change direction, speed up, we will run over."
"The Shigandang and the Brood are going to ram the Japanese pirates' Nomura and Jingu respectively. If they fail, the next two ships will continue."
"General!" The guards were stunned.
Use the battle camp level to collide with the war general level. If you hit it, it will indeed tear out a big hole.
The Japanese pirate on the right had the same plan before.
There's not much to say about this one.
It's just that the general in charge of the Breaking Waves is called Lu Ping'an, who is the eldest son of Lu Yulong in front of him.
"Why are you so dazed?" Lu Yulong shouted loudly, "Go and deliver the order."
"yes!"
The messengers waved flags.
The Shi Gandang and the Breaking Waves immediately left the fleet and aimed at the approaching Nomura and Tsugu.
The Japanese pirate generals could clearly see the movement here.
The side target is the largest and the weakest point of the battleship, but it also has the most intensive firepower.
Rest, rest, rest.
Hoo ho ho.
As soon as the two sides entered the shooting range, countless heavy crossbow fireballs and stones flew over.
"Open the net! Advance at full speed. All heavy crossbows attack the opponent's mainmast and sail first."
call!
A huge fishing net suddenly opened on the bow of the boat.
The fishing net may seem thin, but its softness overcomes strength. It can be used to block fireballs, stones, and even weak crossbow arrows without any problem.
And it’s easy to replace, so you won’t feel bad if it’s broken.
Hua Hua Hua.
Various crossbow stones flew in one after another, some hit the Julang, but more fell on the surrounding sea, stirring up waves all over the sky.
The battle camp level is not small, but the relatively vast ocean is like a leaf.
Although this leaf was attacked repeatedly and thick smoke billowed out from everywhere, it did not lose power, but instead became faster and faster.
Dry.
Someone on the Nomura was worried, "It's such a broken boat. You couldn't hit it when it was far away, but now it's close and you still can't hit it?"
"Are you all blind?"
"Aim it for me and then release it!"
Winding is a physical job, while aiming is a technical job.
The newly wound soldiers shook their sore arms and rolled and crawled out of the way.
As for the little soldier who was aiming, his eyes almost exploded.
"You know shit."
They muttered angrily, "Both ships have increased their speed now. Hitting is abnormal, but missing is normal."
It’s understandable that it’s difficult to hit from a distance, but it’s equally difficult to hit when you’re close, and the closer you get, the harder it is to hit.
Because the war general class was much taller than the battle camp class, the most powerful heavy crossbow installed on the upper deck could not be aimed. Only by opening the gun positions in the cabin below could the attack continue.
But there's a danger here.
In case the opponent's crossbowman has excellent archery skills, he can shoot something directly into the cabin to detonate the gunpowder and kerosene stored inside. That is self-destruction.
Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, the number of gun positions in the cabin below is large but relatively small, and thick sandbags are piled behind as a barrier.
However, the consequence is that the crossbows here are not very powerful.
They are quite effective at attacking small ships below the battle group level, but they are somewhat powerless against battle camp level ships.
Therefore, at a long distance, the war general's attack on the battalion level is most effective.
Once they are close, it is more cost-effective to let battle battalions of the same tonnage compete with each other.
However, as weapons of war, ships are not without close defense capabilities.
squeak squeak.
Huge logs and ferocious rolling stones were lifted up.
As long as the enemy ship comes close to a certain range, it will be smashed directly, and the power is amazing.
But with the opponent's current speed and huge inertia, even if the rolling logs and rocks hit the enemy, he would still be hit hard on the side.
Lu Pingan's voice on the Breaking Waves was calm, "Don't panic, continue to put out the fire and repair the ship."
With his war camp class Bo Wokou and his war general class ship.
Worth it!
First latest.
