Chapter 624 Countless
The little official beside him bowed his body and cupped his hands: "No!"
After finishing speaking, the little official turned around and waved the command flag towards the sentry post on the mast, giving orders.
The guard nodded to express his understanding, and the same flag flashed, issuing orders to the surrounding battleships.
After receiving the order, the battleship group immediately moved forward according to the original state of combat readiness during training, in the first-level alert mode!
Whether it is in the water warfare tactics of the Jiangdong Navy, or in the tactics of Zhou Yu's naval warfare.
A fleet is far more than just a battleship.
It's a fleet of battleships!
There are warships composed of various functions such as main battleships, frigates, and cruise ships.
At this time, Zhou Zhen's naval team consisted of more than thirty warships.
Among them, the command ship, that is, the main battleship, there are two ships, which undertake the strategic attack mission of the entire team.
There are 18 frigates, which undertake the main task of protecting the main battleship. At the same time, they also have some weak attack power. The main attack method is to rely on the manpower on the battleship.
In addition, there are about ten auxiliary warships such as cruise ships, which undertake patrol, logistics, communication and other functions.
The warship galloped across the river, scaring away the fishermen who were fishing by the river.
Regarding this, Zhou Yu just smiled lightly.
He wanted to attack with a high profile this time, let those fishermen hurry up and report, he was eager to fight Liu Yao's army to the death.
as expected!
About two hours passed.
When the battleship group was marching in the direction of Moling, the battleship group of the Jiangdong Navy also appeared on the river.
The flags are all over the place, and the darkness is overwhelming, like a dark cloud.
report!
A hurried report floated into Zhou Yu's ears.
The official reported the military situation: "General, we found bandit warships ahead, two giant warships, more than 30 medium-sized warships, and countless small warships."
Zhou Yu's lips curled up with a touch of evil: "What a Liu Yao, how long has it taken to develop such a large-scale battleship group!"
"but……"
Zhou Yu let out a sneer: "It's a pity that his opponent is us. No matter how large the Jiangdong navy is, in our eyes, he is just a few soldiers and crab generals. It is not worth mentioning at all."
The little official said loudly: "General, please give the order. During this time, the brothers are going crazy!"
Zhou Yu took a deep breath, turned around suddenly, and ordered:
Order the Zhiyuan and Jingyuan ships to face the enemy directly, tear two openings in the middle, and temporarily house the frigates
Afterwards, when the thieves were supported, they immediately outflanked the two wings and went straight to the rear without any mistakes. "
The little official bowed his body and cupped his hands: "No!"
Immediately afterwards, there were red and green double flags flashing on the mast.
Not for a while.
The speed of the Zhiyuan ship and the Jingyuan ship increased, approaching the bandit army from the left and right directions.
The little official bowed his body and cupped his hands: "General, it's dangerous here, you'd better go back to the cabin to watch the battle."
Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Hmph, Liu Yao dismissed Bo Fu, and Chen Heng and his like are my opponents. The dangerous one is not Zhou Yu, but Chen Heng. Don't worry about me! "
The little official had no choice but to promise and stand aside.
In the opposite battleship group.
A tiger general was standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the Fuchuan battleship on the river, he not only let out a contemptuous voice: "Huh, there are only two giant ships, our strength is more than three times that of the bandit army, it is reckless, It is enough to choke him to death in the river!"
This person is none other than Chen Heng, the commander of the navy.
Beside him, Lieutenant Chen Ning said: "General, if our battleship fights with all its strength, we can naturally wipe out all the thieves, but in the army, there are still the old Sun's troops. If they..."
Chen Henggang clenched his teeth and made a clucking sound: "Damn it! If I hadn't had no one under my command, how could I use this gang of young people? Just pass on the order. If any of these people don't follow the order, they will be killed immediately. There must be no mistake."
Chen Ning was overjoyed, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "The general obeys orders, so I will send someone to issue a warning!"
As soon as the words fell, there was only a loud bang.
A flame roared from Chen Heng's eyes.
It was a crossbow gun shot from Zhou Yu's battleship group, wrapped in oilcloth, and the battle was raging!
Chen Heng turned pale with shock and couldn't help being stunned on the spot.
"Such a distance!"
"How is this possible?"
Triple Bow Bed Crossbow!
Now applied to naval battles, it is no different from a rocket launcher.
On Zhou Yu's main battleship, only the two sides of the battleship had three-bow bed crossbows before. In order to increase the aggressiveness during the march, Zhou Yu added a turret on the top of the cabin.
On the turret, there is a three-bow bed crossbow that can rotate 360 degrees to provide fire support at any time. In the process of advancing rapidly, it has a second attack besides collision. Way.
Of course, this is only a super long-distance attack method.
As the distance continues to approach, the attack method will also change.
Although Chen Heng was astonished, he still tried his best to keep calm. He shouted sharply, "Don't worry, all officers and men. The hull of our warship is made of hard pear wood, and it's covered with a layer of iron!"
"Such an attack is absolutely impossible."
When Chen Hengzheng shouted fearlessly, the javelin-like rocket, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, arrived in the blink of an eye and crashed into the opponent's battleship with a bang.
Boom!
The entire battleship trembled tremendously!
The soldiers on the battleship showed horrified faces. They watched the crossbow forcefully break through the outer iron sheet and sink into the hard pear wood wrapped inside.
"How can this be?"
"This crossbow bolt can actually penetrate the iron sheet?"
"Big... Isn't it terrifying? How can you pierce the iron sheet at such a long distance?"
Chen Heng was stunned on the spot, his eyes staring like copper bells.
He really couldn't believe that his main battleship, Hunjianglong, was able to be pierced through the iron sheet and sink into the pear tree under such a powerful defense. This is simply unbelievable!
As the distance between the two sides continues to approach!
Whoosh!
In the slanting stab, another divine arrow roared towards him.
The arrow was like a bolide, aiming at the Hunjianglong battleship without any fanfare.
Peng!
The ship trembled, and everyone was shocked!
"My God! This arrow even pierced the iron sheet!"
"How can thief Zhao's navy be so powerful, what kind of weapon is this!"
"General, what should we do?"
Chen Heng was also a little dazed for a while, but he was also from the navy. After many days of training in the tactics, he already had a certain understanding of the basic combat methods of the battleship group.
He immediately greeted: "Quick! Let the battleships on the left and right wings go up, find a way to attack, and stop this guy!
In the tactics of the Jiangdong Navy, the battleships on the left and right wings are actually of the same nature as the frigates in Zhou Yu's naval tactics. They undertake the secondary attack mission and the task of covering the main battleship.
