Chapter 343 Pursuit(2/2)
Although this kind of catapult is powerful, its shortcoming is also obvious, that is, it cannot move and can only defend at fixed points.
With this idea in mind, the Third Fleet of the Commons family clung to the retreating main fleet led by the Yongye Army.
Not only did Shi Dubin want to drive the Yongye Army leaders back to the mountains of Andis, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to gnaw a piece of meat from their bodies.
At this time, the difference between the two warships is revealed.
With the same sailing against the current, the same sails, and a dual human power supply system, the battleships of the Commons family are a bit faster than the high-rise ships led by the Yongye Army, especially the dragon-wrapped battleships. The speed is absolutely nothing to say, and it is always
The arrows of the Commons family fleet seemed to be moving with ease, and they were completely suppressing their own speed.
Although Steubin's temper was arrogant, he was not to the extent that he thought that he could challenge the entire Eternal Night Army's fleet with just one dragon-wrecked battleship. Cooperating with the actions of the entire fleet was the right approach.
"The speed difference between the two sides is too big. If this continues, our ship will have no chance of returning to the Death Channel. We must find a way to delay their speed."
"Use mines to blow them up and see if they still dare to pursue us so closely."
"No, it's too early. If we use mines now, it will arouse their alertness, and they won't fall into the trap obediently. We must use a method that does not make them suspicious."
"What the hell, you still have to use your brother's life to pay for it? Our brother has already shed a lot of blood in vain?"
"There is no other way. The gap in water strength between the two sides is too huge, and our only counterattack method is too passive. Once discovered by the other side, all our previous preparations will be in vain. Now we can only sacrifice the small to protect the big."
Sean waved his hands and said, "You don't need to comfort me in such a roundabout way. I know what to do. Order the death squads to go out! I will beat the drum for them."
The death squads Sean was talking about were thirty assault ships.
It was filled with flammable items and barrels of black powder, and only a handful of Evernight soldiers operated it.
There is only one purpose, and that is to crash into the Commons family's battleship.
This is an absolutely life-or-death mission.
Even if you don't die on the way to the charge, you will be blown up by a shipload of black powder.
Even if they were lucky enough to survive the explosion, the cold river water would still kill them, and there was no way for the Yongye Army to organize a rescue.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With the thundering sound of the war drums on the Rock, one charge after another, carrying a fatal mission, raised their sails and rushed towards the fleet of the Commons family at the fastest speed.
"Catapult! Where is the catapult? What are you waiting for? Attack, attack, never let them get close!"
"Ballistas, all ballistas, attack me, don't let them get close."
The captains and captains of the Commons family fleet obviously also thought of something.
In the previous defensive battle of Brother Port, they had seen how powerful the black powder barrels of the Yongye Army were. If the opponent's assault ship was filled with a boatload of these things, no matter how strong their large ship was, they would not be able to withstand it.
"The left ballista is not within range."
"The ballista on the right is also out of range."
The commons family battleship crossbow gunners responded one after another.
The Commons family's large ship is narrow in size and equipped with catapults and ballistae. It is prepared for naval battles. Most of them are installed on both sides of the hull. There are only a few symbolic ones on the bow, which cannot form an absolute firepower.
Their most proud method of frontal attack is head-on collision.
Unexpectedly, the building boat led by Yong Ye's army saw them and ran faster than a rabbit.
But how can they dare to let the charging clipper led by Yongye Army brush against them now?
That is purely courting death.
"Put the ship sideways, turn the ship sideways, let me sink them?" The captain of a Commons family battleship located relatively forward made a wrong decision.
In order to increase his firepower, he even turned his own battleship sideways.
In unit time, the attack firepower of catapults and ballistae has increased dozens of times, but the area threatened by the assault warships led by the Yongye Army has also increased several times.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Touch! Touch! Touch!
The impact effect of the Commons family's ship-borne trebuchet is not particularly ideal.
Even if their warships are huge, the trebuchets on board cannot be too big. Most of them are small or micro, and the shells thrown are mainly iron balls of more than ten kilograms.
"Don't worry about them, rush forward, complete our mission, hold me steady, and sink them, for the sake of the territory, for the sake of the territory, and for the sake of the tribe."
"For the sake of the lord, for the territory, and for the sake of the tribe, go for it!"
The assault warships led by the Yongye Army have no intention of evading attacks. You can tell by their names. They are mainly focused on speed. Now they are flowing down the river. This aspect is even better. There are many attacks.
They were all left behind.
Even if they hit, it will be difficult to sink them with one or two rounds, because their fronts are covered with several layers of thick cowhide, and the impact of the shells hitting them will be greatly reduced.
The battleships of the Commons family didn't have much reaction time at all.
The assault warships led by the Yongye Army had already rushed forward, especially the warship that was already halfway across the Danube River.
Its sudden increase in firepower allowed it to sink two assault boats led by Yong Ye's army, but three of them also hit him in no particular order.
"Ignite! Detonate!" At the same time, the veterans shouted hoarsely from the charging battleship, "For the lord, for the territory, and for the people."
They have committed their lives to the community and territory they love.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three huge flames rose into the sky.
The three charging clippers turned into fly ash on the spot, and the flying fire directly ignited half of the unlucky Commons family battleship.
Where they hit, three huge holes appeared, and the cold river water poured in crazily.
The entire battleship was making unnatural creaking sounds, and sinking was inevitable.
"Idiot, Saka, this idiot." Stubin was so angry that he stamped his feet. "If this idiot is not dead, I will unscrew his head with my own hands. Don't stop, don't slow down, rush over, all of them.
