Crash.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the Jade Dragon Fleet began to change its formation silently.
The original rhombus shape, which was long from east to west and short from north to south, was gradually compressed, and finally became long from north to south and short from east to west.
The Doi fleet behind them was still unaware, and formed a long snake formation going east to west and continued to push towards them.
Yin Shi.
The time of day when humans are most sleepy.
The Doi fleet tensed up and chased all the way. At this time, everyone from the mast lookout to the sailors were extremely sleepy.
Especially the sailors who have been rowing hard can almost fall asleep standing up.
Dohi Yuto was furious and turned to glare at the little guard beside him, "What's going on? Why did the ship slow down again?"
ha
"General," the little guard yawned loudly, raised his hand and pointed unsteadily at the light ahead, "You're not slow. We can almost hit the tail of the Jade Dragon Fleet."
In fact, not only did the Doi slow down, but the Yulong fleet also slowed down.
It even split in the middle and divided into two parts, the left and right parts, in the shape of an "eight" to fit the Doihao inside.
Just as it split left and right, the ships behind the fleet gradually extinguished their lights.
The lights that this little guard saw were no longer the Yichun, Kangning, and Jingpeng that had previously provoked them, but the Yulong that was in the center of the fleet before.
It was just that the night was dark, the sea was vast, and the soldiers of all sizes on the Dofei were too sleepy to open their eyes. No one noticed that the ship gradually broke in.
Jade Dragon.
"General, the local brave man has fallen into a trap."
Lu Yulong nodded and put down the telescope in his hand.
"Instruct all ships to aim at Dofei and launch a collective attack. Two-quarters of an hour later, no matter what the outcome of the battle, everyone will leave the battlefield and continue sailing to Dinghai Pier. There must be no mistake."
After giving the order, Lu Yulong raised his head and looked deeply toward the dark night sky in the east.
Ishikawa Taki's opponent is extremely cautious.
When they made a sneak attack on Jinlongtan, in order to ensure that the main force could evacuate safely, he just helplessly abandoned the soldiers who had rushed to the shore.
That's thousands of soldiers and hundreds of battle camp-level ships, not to mention densely packed small rafts.
It can be said that as the leading general, Ishikawa Taki's heart can be said to be careless and ruthless.
Thinking of this, Lu Yulong's eyes fell on the Tufei number in front of him.
Based on Dohi Yuuto's temperament, it is very likely that he came over to try to intercept him without getting orders from Ishikawa Taki.
But with Ishikawa Taki's temperament, other Japanese pirate pursuit fleets must be coming at full speed not far behind.
This is also the reason why Lu Yulong decided to attack for only two quarters of an hour.
It would be best if you can damage or even sink the Doi. If you can't, you can continue to stimulate the Doi hero and induce him to order to continue pursuing westward.
And this location is already close to Yunzhui Sea.
Further west, there is a high probability that you will encounter numerous fishing boats or even merchant ships heading south or north.
As long as the fishermen and businessmen spread the word and the counties along the coast of Yunchui become more vigilant, then their trouble will be worth it.
Hua Hua Hua.
The command flag flew, and the ships in the darkness quickly received Lu Yulong's order.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
The winch is wound up.
The ballistas and trebuchets on the sterns, decks and even cabins on both sides of each ship turned and raised their heads, aiming at the brightly lit Doi in the middle.
stop!
The red fire on the Jade Dragon flashed.
All the generals had a fierce look in their eyes, and they shouted in unison: "Let go!"
Rest, rest, rest.
Boom boom boom.
Almost all the heavy crossbows and stones the size of millstones flew towards the Doi.
Some were carrying fire, and bright flames flashed through the air.
But most of them disappeared silently. The human eye had not noticed it yet. They only heard the sound of tearing the air, and they had already plunged into the Dofei.
The first round of artillery fire was always the most saturated. Although many crossbow arrows and stones fell into the surrounding sea, almost every inch of the Doi in the center was hit from beginning to end.
The tall main and auxiliary masts were broken on the spot and fell down with a creak.
The thick side of the ship around the deck was beaten to pieces, and the soldiers who were resting on it either fell into the sea before they could react, or were torn into rags by the remaining force of the crossbow arrows on the spot.
The hull area on both sides is large, and its resistance to attack is the weakest. At this time, it was even more damaged, with holes everywhere, and human bodies and debris lying on the floor in the cabin could be faintly seen.
As for the rowing oars, I don’t know how many of them were broken by the shot. The rebounding force instantly beat the drowsy sailors inside to the point where their hands, feet, teeth, and mouths were broken.
Quack, quack, quack.
After one round of attacks, the Doi was defeated, and with the calm sea, it gradually stopped.
"What happened?" Doi Yongto crawled out from under a mast in a daze.
He is lucky.
It was only scratched by the fallen mast.
But the few loyal guards around him were not so lucky.
Some of them were smashed by stones and turned into meat paste, dying beyond death. Some were hit by heavy masts, and they still had half their lives left. They were groaning and vomiting blood, and they were about to die.
Wow.
There was a lot of kerosene thrown by the trebuchet, which instantly ignited the things on the deck and burst into flames.
"General, the Jade Dragon Fleet launched a sudden attack, and our ship suffered heavy casualties."
"You made it..." Tufei Yong was so angry that he almost kicked the little guard.
It’s not like I don’t have eyes, so I still need him to remind me?
"Hurry up to organize rescue operations and put out fires, and pull up fishing nets for defense. Be quick!"
"At the same time, order other ships to catch up and kill Lu Yulong, this coward."
The bodyguard didn't dare to worry about it, so he hurriedly covered his wounds and left.
On such a large ship, fires occasionally break out on weekdays. As long as they are extinguished in time, it is not a big deal.
But at this time, people everywhere were on their backs, various things were broken to pieces on the ground, and with the kerosene flowing everywhere, it was not that easy to attack.
The most important thing is that many people on the ship were injured or even died in the sneak attack. With insufficient manpower, it would be even more difficult to put out the fire.
not to mention……
The little guard hunched his head and looked around at the sea as he ran.
When he saw the shining lights in all directions, his heart felt cold.
Take advantage of his life and make him sick.
Everyone understands this reason.
What's more, the enemy has stopped on the spot and becomes a dead target. In this case, as long as you aim, you won't miss.
"put!"
All Yun Chui soldiers shouted excitedly.
Rest, rest, rest.
The ballistas from all directions were launched, and the huge crossbow arrows flew out one after another, and finally plunged into the Dofei.
"He brewed it. We don't have much time. Can you wind up and load it faster?"
The soldier who fired the cannon raised his sledgehammer early, and his eyes were red with anxiety when he saw that the crossbow arrows had not been loaded yet.
The other ships of the Doi fleet discovered that the main ship was under attack. No matter how sleepy they were, they were completely awakened. Each ship was heading here with full power.
In fact, the two sides are not far apart. It only takes a short while for the enemy to attack them.
The soldiers who were stringing the strings were more anxious than anyone else, but it took time to wind the strings, so it was useless to be anxious.
They yelled, "It's his fault, the Ministry of War is raising a bunch of bastards who eat for free. What on earth are they doing? It's been so long that they haven't come up with a better string-stringing tool..."
Even if you scold, you will have to twist the string.
It's hard to get the strings right,
put!
At the command, the sledgehammers in the hands of the soldiers couldn't wait to smash open the locks, and the crossbow arrows shot out quickly, and finally plunged heavily into the dilapidated cabin of the Doi.
Now it was the turn of the little soldier to get angry.
"Sightsmen, you are so anxious, please open your eyes wide. Haven't you hit the Dofei No. 1 oil depot after so long?"
Since the last battle for the oil depot in Jinlongtan, all the soldiers knew the consequences of the oil depot on the ship being set on fire.
Now no one cares about the crossbows or trebuchets on the enemy's deck. They are all thinking about hitting the oil depot or gunpowder depot in the opponent's cabin as soon as possible. That is the fastest way to destroy the enemy's ship.
First latest.
