As the ichthyosaur banner rose, all the soldiers of the Anbei Navy roared with excitement, their military spirit boiling, gradually covering the sky between the canyons.
The war is at war and the counterattack begins!
In the first wave of collision, the formations of both armies were in chaos, leaving plenty of room for the Anbei Navy to break in.
More than fifty small warships with unique shapes were quickly launched. They were the latest products of the shipyard, red horses, sterns, and yachts from the Great Yan world.
The characteristic of this type of small boat is that it can carry a small number of people, but its hull is narrow and long, and it is highly maneuverable, making it easy to conflict with enemy ships.
The frigates in the Dingguo Navy tried to stop them, but artillery stones and arrows rained down like rain. With their dense coverage, they destroyed seven or eight yachts, causing many casualties.
It is said that because of the vastness of the Tianjiang River and its tributaries, Daxu has always admired dragon ships. However, due to the cost and difficulty of construction, the most deployed warships among the naval forces in various places are still fighting ships.
For a fighting ship, a mid-length wall is installed on the side of the ship, with a tapper hole at the bottom. A shed is built as a parapet five feet along the side, and the battle layout is arranged in a battle pattern. There is no belly and back, and there are flags, banners, and golden drums in the front, rear, and left.
It can carry hundreds of personnel, deploy small and medium-sized dragon-shooting auxiliary crossbows, and has the ability to hunt ordinary dragon beasts on its own. Fighting ships are truly the most widely used main warships.
Facing the encirclement and suppression by the fighting ships, the dozens of small boats of the Anbei Navy had little ability to resist, and they just relied on their speed to dodge and sprint.
In the end, after losing 20% of the ships and soldiers, they finally entangled their respective targets, the dozen dragon ships that Dingguo relied on.
Many soldiers on fighting ships and dragon ships don't understand it. What's the point?
One of our own dragon ships has at least a thousand sailors, and it also carries infantry, complete with bows, crossbows and armor, and abundant troops.
And a small boat like yours that I have never seen before, although it can run fast, can only carry dozens of soldiers at most, so what can it do?
Of course, if they had seen the fate of the flagship Three Hundred Elite Trial before, they might not have this idea.
Liu Rengui still adhered to the mainstream idea of big ships and giant crossbows, but the enemy ships carried elite soldiers, which made him feel something was wrong.
Looking at the demon-subduing flag and the ichthyosaur banner on the flagship opposite, flying wildly, and dozens of small boats leaping in, he became somewhat enlightened.
"Report, the flagship of the Third Squadron has fallen!"
"Report, the flagship of the Seventh Squadron has fallen..."
The efficiency of the Anbei Navy's small boat formation was too high. Liu Rengui had just issued the alert order, but bad news came one after another.
Each ship should prevent Anbei soldiers on small boats from clinging to the hull, avoid close combat, and try to take advantage of the large ships' giant crossbows.
No one would have known that the semaphore of this order would be remembered by the naval fleets of many countries in the future.
"Uncle Anbei is here in person!"
"Uncle Anbei is on the boat, and those dancing men are demon subduing soldiers!"
In less than a quarter of an hour, fish-dragon flags were raised on the highest points of four dragon boats in the distance.
Even though there was still a considerable degree of resistance on board the ships, with cries of killing occurring one after another, judging from the rules of naval engagement, these four dragon ships had already fallen by default.
These dragon ships are the flagships of each small formation, corresponding to the command of local battlefields, and their influence is not small.
Until the flag of Dingguo is raised again and the liaison officer confirms the recovery, the ships under the command are not allowed to obey its flag orders.
Usually at this time, the other dragon ships have to take over the command authority.
But at this time, except for the dragon ships a little further away, which could still send out flag orders and integrate the fleet, most of the dragon ships were already too busy to take care of themselves.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining more than a hundred small and medium-sized ships of the Anbei Navy quickly followed up. Judging from the number of escort battleships near the Dingguo Dragon Ship Fleet, they could not stop them at all.
The attack launched by more than fifty fast boats against the dragon boat fleet destroyed most of the dragon crossbows, but only the remaining small part still posed a great threat.
In this wave of close encounters, more than thirty warships were hit, especially the main crossbows, which basically resulted in sinking.
The Anbei Navy inherited the regular fighting ships from Ruinan Jiedu, and it can be said that the entire army was wiped out.
Thousands of navy soldiers died unexpectedly.
The demon-subduing soldiers, who had not suffered major casualties for a long time, were killed by dragon crossbows and killed more than a hundred people because they were unable to dodge.
You must know that the Demon-Subduing Army is currently at its peak of physical training at worst. Many ordinary Demon-Submitting Soldiers have accumulated Qi and blood and developed acquired Tian Qi.
But in front of the dragon-shooting crossbow that even the dragons of the three realms can't stop, relying solely on the mortal body can only lead to being shattered into pieces, and there is no way to save him.
However, the destruction of Anbei Navy's main battleship was the finale of this battle. The Dingguo warships that had been scattered before suddenly slowed down in their approach to support.
They watched helplessly as the more than a hundred small boats were like dog-skin plasters plastered on friendly warships. Whether they were dragon ships or fighting ships, they could not escape the fate of fighting on the side.
That long and narrow red horse boat can only carry a few soldiers after expansion. In normal wind and rain weather, any big wave in the Ningjiang River may overturn it.
But under the eyes of everyone, this little red horse boat actually won a battleship by virtue of jumping combat...
Zhao Wu was born in a collateral line of the Zhao family of the Liang Kingdom. If he was cheeky, he could also be called a sibling of the Liang Marquis Zhao Qi.
Two months ago, he was just a small guard leader of a certain Liang Kingdom caravan. Due to resource and skill constraints, he barely reached the body-forging realm after his spiritual energy recovered.
After being exposed to the atmosphere of Anbei Buwu's preaching, Zhao Wu chose to stay. Later, he learned that only the Demon Fu Army could get the best training, so he persevered in applying to join.
Originally, the Fumo Army, as the most "pure" and most loyal private armed force to Zhou Bai, would generally not accept an outsider like him, especially since he was a bloodline sibling of Marquis Liang.
Failure is an identity, success is an identity. Out of some deep-seated considerations, Zhou Bai gave him a chance.
Zhao Wu did not waste this opportunity. He practiced innate skills and forged his body in seven days, and finally defeated a person at the bottom of the Demon-Subduing Army, and successfully joined the Demon-Subduing Army.
At this point, he showed his talent and was able to teach the follow-up innate skills and obtain the most sufficient resources for training.
In two months, he not only pushed his martial arts cultivation to the middle stage of the acquired world, but also made military exploits and became a master.
This time, following Zhou Bai on board the ship to fight, it was logical for him to lead his men and act alone in the small boat Red Horse Boat.
Zhao Wu did not aim too high and went directly to attack the dragon ship and block the supporting escort battleships, which was also a great achievement. After all, they only had eleven people.
"Quick, quick, throw the hook, and the divine arm crossbow will shoot the archer above first!"
The specially built hooks firmly stuck to the Dingjun battleship, and then three hook ropes were thrown from the red horse boat to the railing of the battleship. Zhao Wu led the people to pick up the divine arm crossbow tied to his arm and fired first. The soldiers on the deck of the death battle ship reacted.
"Seize the ship! Follow me, take cover with crossbows!" With a knife in one hand and a rope in the other, he jumped onto the ship's hull.
Every time an archer tried to shoot them, he was immediately shot to death by the demon-subduing soldiers on the red horse boat. Anbei Kingdom did not have the manufacturing technology to shoot the dragon crossbow, but it had the drawings of the divine arm crossbow in the Jingwu Yaolue.
It is not difficult to make, but the difficult thing is that it requires extremely high requirements on the person who uses it. It cannot be carried and used by anyone who does not have extraordinary energy and blood strength.
The soldiers on this Dingjun battleship reacted too slowly, and most of them were still busy attacking the Anbei warships that were besieging the dragon ship.
Whether it is shooting poles, dragon-shooting crossbows, trebuchets and other equipment, or fully swinging the oars into the bottom cabin, a large number of manpower is required.
The sergeant Ding who was guarding the railing was killed by crossbows, and then Zhao Wu and three others suddenly appeared on the deck, and the captain realized that something was wrong.
"Don't stop attacking. Follow me. The Northern Bandits are so rampant. A few people dare to jump onto the ship!"
The captain of the Dingjun army gathered hundreds of people around him. They were the elite infantrymen accompanying the ship. They were originally going to land in Ruinan County to fight.
When hundreds of elite soldiers gathered and approached, all the demon-subduing soldiers on the red horse boat were already standing beside Zhao Wu, forming a cone-shaped breakthrough formation.
"Good opportunity, rush in and kill the captain, then we can seize the ship!" Zhao Wu shouted angrily, his energy and blood rising all over his body.
He really didn't expect such a good opportunity. He shouted to seize the ship before, but in fact, he only expected to destroy the dragon-shooting crossbow, burn the ship and cause chaos.
How will the eleven demon-subduing warriors who are familiar with battle formations and coordination perform in the narrow space of a battleship deck?
Next, the Dingjun encounter on this battleship will be revealed.
On average, there is one against ten, and the force is like a broken bamboo. Everywhere they pass is full of corpses and broken bones.
The Ding sergeants on the ship were the same as the demon-subduing soldiers, and they did not wear thick armor. Both sides were fighting in real hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, the martial arts strength and the coordination of the battle formation were perfectly displayed. Hundreds of naked armored soldiers could not stop a complete squad of demon-suppressing troops.
At this time, most of the soldiers on the fighting ship reacted and came to support one after another. Seeing that the fighting ship captain was about to run away, Zhao Wu's energy and blood burned, and his whole body's true energy ran through the soles of his feet.
"Death!" He suddenly jumped up, jumped several feet high, and rushed away.
It just happened that he missed a breath, and his true energy was almost exhausted, so he couldn't kill the target in time.
At this time, a mixed flow of luck descended from the sky and blessed him.
It is indeed a mixture, with the blessing of Anbei Universiade, the support of noble people, and the mysterious martial luck...
On the flagship in the distance, Zhou Bai felt a slight change in his luck, as if he was trying to help someone.
Looking along the path of luck, he recognized at a glance that it was Zhao Wu who had taken care of him. He also discovered the strange and weak luck.
It is very closely connected with warriors. Could it be the great luck of martial arts?
Zhou Bai couldn't help but pay attention, and thought silently: It seems that the value of Zhao Wu is not only the initial connection with Liang Hou, but also his own martial arts talent.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Forcibly turning the boarding battle, which was supposed to be a balanced and bloody battle, into a one-sided massacre.
Large ships and huge crossbows, without this kind of wealth, they innovated their tactics, one link after another.
"It's a deserved defeat. What a good means. What a good means."
The general named Lei among the top officials angrily accused: "The admiral doesn't want to take command at this time and reverses the situation of the war. Could it be that he wants to rebel?"
"Your Majesty treats you well!"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the command room dropped to freezing point, there were many people outside the door, and the sound of arguments between generals a little further away could be heard.
Listening carefully, someone actually asked the personal guards to change defenses, and the number was far exceeded.
"When we are surrounded and each is fighting on its own, how can we take command?"
"The situation is such that it is irreversible. Let's withdraw and see if we can save some warships." Liu Rengui turned a blind eye to what was happening outside and sighed.
"Withdraw? You can't withdraw. You don't know the situation on land. If the navy can't make any achievements, the country will be over."
"If we wait a little longer, we still have a lot of viable forces outside."
"Liu Rengui, if you act negatively again, I will kill you!"
Liu Rengui shook his head, looked at these generals named Lei with some pity, turned his back, and said softly: "Do it, give Dingzhou Navy more energy."
At that moment, the remaining minority generals with foreign surnames immediately drew their swords, and at the same time, a large number of personal guards poured out of the side room.
Foreign enemies are still attacking the ship, but a purge has already started internally.
"Sir, Marquis Ding's weapons are small, you should have been like this." Liu Rengui, the deputy general at his side, looked at the corpse of General Lei on the ground, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Follow Uncle Anbei's rules, raise the white flag and tell the men to stop. The veterans of Dingzhou Navy should not die in Dingzhou."
