"Come up to me!"
"General, the sail is full now..."
"I don't care!" General Rong, who usually looked gentle and elegant, grabbed his lieutenant's collar: "I don't care what method you use, even if I throw you overboard and push the boat, you have to catch up with me."
The subordinates around him were all silent. This was the first time they had seen General Rong like this since he took up the position of commander of the navy.
Pushing the deputy general in front of him away, he looked at the Tang Navy in the distance with red eyes and panting.
when? When had General Tarong ever suffered such a loss?
How did the other side's ships emitting black smoke do that? At the beginning, I laughed at the other party's ship that was emitting black smoke, and maybe it would catch on fire by itself at some point.
The results of it?
The result is that the opponent's speed is always higher than yours, and the opponent will wait for you from time to time. Once your battleship has just entered the range of the bed crossbow, the opponent's The artillery fire came.
After a salvo from the opposite side, several warships on their side either lost their combat effectiveness or sank directly into the sea.
If the ships behind could get around it, one or two would have to be left to rescue people.
And the bed crossbow fired by oneself can sometimes hit the opponent's black-smoking warship, but it is of no use.
Even at the limit of the range, the bed crossbow is not powerful enough, but if it hits the opponent's ship directly, it can still make a hole, right? But the result was nothing. Those bed crossbows hit the opponent's warship and were directly bounced back into the sea.
From the early morning chase until now, I don’t know how much the opponent has lost, but my side has lost more than 40 warships plus the loss of combat effectiveness.
It's okay if I lead the troops alone. The key is that His Majesty is behind.
In addition to His Majesty, he also brought the prodigal son with him.
In the court, General Rong never gave Zhen Yougan any good looks in the past. First of all, Zhen Yougan's reputation was such that not many people gave him good looks.
Secondly, Zhen Xiong will reveal, secretly or openly, which position in the Wei Kingdom will be occupied by a virtuous person in the future.
Of course General Rong also knew that this was probably because Zhen Xiong was now in the prime of life and had only one son of the right age, Zhen Yougan, so it was a means used to prevent the prince from forming a clique, but it also gave him a little hope.
But this time His Majesty also brought Zhen Youqian with him during his personal expedition, so the signal he sent was somewhat different.
If I can't express myself effectively, I'm afraid...
The strong sea breeze blew, and even General Rong's strong body trembled.
wind! sea breeze!
General Rong raised his head, looked at the rustling military flag above his head and the hot air balloon flying in front of him by the cable, and an idea came to him.
"Cut the rope of the hot air balloon, fly over, and stop the opponent at all costs!"
The wind is strong now, and I can't catch up with the opponent with all my sails, but the hot air balloon above my head can!
With such wind force, it only takes a moment for Da Wei's hot air balloon group to fly over the opposite side. If the fire oil is dropped at that time, as long as it can slow down the opponent's speed and wait until his army is close, no matter how powerful the opponent is, it will be difficult to defeat him with both fists. Four enemies.
Now Wei also knows that controlling the firepower can control the height of the hot air balloon, and he is not afraid of the balloon flying too high.
As for how to take it back, we’ll talk about it later. In General Rong's mind, as long as the Tang Navy can be completely annihilated, it doesn't matter if all these hot air balloon groups are folded here.
Although some people think that issuing orders in flag language is a bit too aggressive, but the military orders are so heavy that they can only be carried out.
Da Wei's hot air balloons were originally made up of various colors, and for a while the colorful hot air balloons began to float towards the Tang Navy.
A few people who didn’t know what went wrong burned themselves in the sky, and then the people above jumped into the sea.
But compared to the huge number of hot air balloons, this is nothing.
Standing on a hot air balloon
Of course Qian Laosan and Luo Siye also saw it, and their hairs stood up.
The opponent has too many hot air balloons. If they fly overhead and throw gunpowder, the Taihao ship may be able to survive, but the other East China Sea Fleet warships are all made of wood and will definitely not survive.
"The Tang Dynasty Navy's East China Sea Fleet, the entire air force will attack!" Fourth Master Luo roared into the walkie-talkie in his hand.
A fighting method that should not have appeared in this era, but because of Tang Ping, it appeared cruelly.
Of course, the huge sea breeze will also blow Datang's hot air balloons away, but because they are equipped with a driving propeller, they can resist the sea breeze to a certain extent.
If the hot air balloon of the Wei Dynasty flew over at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, the hot air balloon of the Tang Dynasty could reach a speed of 10 kilometers per hour.
"All warships, spread out and speed up the evacuation."
The hot air balloons of the Wei navy can only travel with the wind. As long as Datang avoids the direction they are heading, the Wei hot air balloons without the ability to turn will return in vain.
"Wait, the Taihao ship is staying!" Tang Ping's voice, who had not intervened, came from the intercom.
"Ping Guo Gong, the best way is to evacuate now." Qian Laosan said.
"I know, but the other party came too fast and it was too late. I have a way to help stop them."
The sudden move of the Wei Navy was that the battleships of the East China Sea Fleet were so powerful that it would be difficult to completely avoid the path of their hot air balloons in a short period of time, and casualties would be inevitable.
These warships of the East China Sea Fleet are Tang Ping's absolute main force. He will never allow such casualties to occur in the early stages of the battle, otherwise there will really be nothing he can do against Wei's huge navy.
Tang Ping insisted, and others could only follow suit.
Fortunately, they also knew that the Taihao ship was made of steel. Even if kerosene was thrown at it, as long as the number was not too large, it would not pose much of a threat.
All the Tang navy, except for the Taihao ship, also cut off the cables of the hot-air balloon, and then began to turn the rudder to the left or leave the battlefield if they had the money.
"Don't worry, it's okay!" Tang Ping patted Wang Qingluan's hand and comforted her.
"Well, I know!" Wang Qingluan nodded: "I believe you."
After receiving his wife's approval, Tang Ping took a deep breath. In this encounter that started in the morning, he still had no sense of presence. Now he had to teach the Wei navy what air supremacy meant.
In fact, Tang Ping has nothing else. What he relies on is his own high-tech drone.
The two grabbers below the drone grabbed two refined iron swords, and flew into the sky with a whine.
The Wei navy on the hot air balloon could not even threaten Tang Ping's drones, not to mention the crossbows in their hands. Even they could not see it.
[In view of the general environment,
Because it only took a few seconds for the drone to fly above the hot air balloon. The Wei navy, whose vision was blocked, didn't even know that there was a reaper starting to harvest above him.
After the Wei Navy's hot air balloon group reached a distance of three kilometers, Tang Ping began to control the drone to fly across the sky at the fastest speed.
"Bah!" There was a soft sound that no one could hear.
Then the hot air in the hot air balloon that was scratched poured out from the breach like a torrent that had found a vent.
The hot air balloon lost its buoyancy and began to fall rapidly.
At first, the Wei Navy thought that the hot air balloon had malfunctioned. After all, this situation was very common.
But soon they realized something was wrong, because the air began to fall like dumplings, and one by one the hot air balloons began to fall down.
It has been said that human fear comes from the unknown.
"Devil, there is a devil in heaven!"
It fell from the sky inexplicably. Let alone an ancient person, even a modern person would be frightened.
At this time, the soldiers on the hot air balloon group of Wei Dynasty were still thinking about what to lose.
Kerosene, the only thing they were thinking about was not to fall.
Of course, no matter how fast a drone is, it cannot shoot down all the hot air balloons, but the blow to Wei's morale is unparalleled.
The soldiers holding crossbows were looking at the hot air balloon above their heads in fear, fearing that they would be the next to fall.
On the other hand, the morale of the Tang Dynasty was greatly boosted. The soldiers on the Tang Dynasty hot air balloon all set up firecrackers and started firing desperately.
