Chapter 396: Destruction

Originally, when fighting with Qi Zhentao's escort fleet, the fleet of the Baisa Kingdom was not at a disadvantage in tactical terms. Although the old man occasionally played with fleet volleys, most of them were single-ships against single ships. The single ships of the Tiger Teeth ships were powerful in combat and rarely allowed the opponent to get close. However, when these fleets suddenly faced such neat fleets of volleys, the overwhelming Mars bombs, sulphur bombs and the long column of fire spewing out from close range, they cut off one side of the fleet and were stunned for a moment.

"Ye Tao, look over there, the other party's flagship!" Min Yue keenly identified the long-shaped ship hanging at the top of the mast with the logo of the Baisa Kingdom Navy from the enemy's fleet. It was a three-masted sail-slurry hybrid warship, or the old model with the bow inward inclined and protruding forward with powerful impact angles. Both sides were painted with exquisite patterns with blue-green pigments.

"Are you going to rush?" Ye Tao looked at Min Yue, not knowing what Min Yue meant. They have now formed a situation where three fleets of fleets have taken turns to attack, constantly facing the enemy fleet on the oblique side. The other party either fights for losses, or they have to rely on some luck to rush into the distance to form a battle on the shore, or they are determined to throw some ships down and escape from this sea area, otherwise they will definitely not be able to get it. If they want to sink the enemy's flagship, they have to tear the heavy surrounds around the enemy's flagship, and they must rush to the crossbow or spray.

In the range of fire equipment, there must be some warships leaving their fleet formation to do such impact. In Ye Tao's opinion, there seems to be no need. He is completely uninterested in killing generals and flags, whether at sea or on land. Whether it is the Blood Qi Army or the Yunzhou army, the generals are strictly prohibited from fighting against enemy generals in front of the formation. In Ye Tao's opinion, it is most important to be able to win safely. There is no need to add various variables to the battle in order to pursue something.

"From my husband's methods, I can give you a chance to let this guy beat him to death in our range, but it depends on you?" Min Yue looked stretched out.

Ye Tao is not very familiar with this kind of scene, and he also knows that the accuracy of moving shooting at sea is not accurate. With the precision instruments in the hands of the shooting commanders on these battleships, combined with the various types of crossbows that have been preparing, whether it is the Dongping Navy or the Qihai Trading Fleet, the shooting accuracy is the best in the world. But this is true, God must be blessed by him to be able to reach a hit rate of 20% in naval battles.

But Ye Tao accepted the challenge openly. He laughed and said, "Okay." In fact, in Ye Tao's opinion, since this combat situation has been formed, this is not a challenge. It is just a fun game. He is just a quasi-abider in naval battles, but he is an expert in operating instruments and understanding the shooting effects of weapons. In the Ye family workshop in Yunzhou, there is a special department that keeps playing with fire and constantly researching the shooting effects of various large-scale equipment. "However, it depends on your ability. If you were just at the farthest range, God knows whether you can shoot correctly. You are not unaware of this kind of thing, you are not sure."

"Oh?" Min Yue asked with interest: "Would we bet on something?"

Ye Tao raised his eyebrows and asked without any mind: "You said that I really can't think of anything I'm reluctant to let go of. Of course, you have to dare to ask for some things."

Min Yue laughed and said, "Flying boat! I want a flying boat... Now you have the small output. Just now, there is a flying boat team in Nanyang, a flying boat team in Danyang, and the Yicheng Navy has only recovered six ships."

"Okay," Ye Tao said without any mind: "But you don't know? Yicheng is preparing to equip the third-generation airship. The research institute has not yet been finalized, where can I get it for you? This way, you can reach the level shooting range of the crossbow. I will equip you with four special high-speed reconnaissance boats. If you can reach the range of the fire spitting gear, I personally give you a private airship that is convenient for you to go out for sightseeing. How about it?"

Min Yue was teased, and his eyes were filled with the light of expectation. In fact, they were old friends who really wanted to ask Ye Tao to get some private airships to play, but Ye Tao would not give it to him. Originally, airships were just to make sense if they dared to play. But now the Tan family has built a private route from Danyang to Jiangshan Fort with several private airships, and it is often very pleasant to come and go. Now Tan Xiaopei flies back to Jiangshan Fort almost every few days to rest. According to Tan Weixin and Tan Weishi, Tan Xiaopei does not look like a full-time king now, but like a CEO who is ordered to manage the country and has a day off.

Being able to win the airship from Ye Tao is more meaningful and more respectful than being simple. Min Yue has also taken the airship out to see the scenery several times. In fact, in the entire Dongping, except for a few generals who are afraid of altitude and are usually indifferent to climbing, almost all the generals flew into the sky. But being able to own a private airship is a very high treatment. No one has figured out how to speak to Ye Tao.

"It's up to you, just do it. If I can get so close, I must take the airship... If you hit it, hehe, I have something good for you." Min Yue waved his fist and said heroically. He turned around and communicated with the deputy and the signal players to the combat plan. Min Yue used carbon strips to draw on the paper, clearly creating an extremely complex combat plan. The signal players took two rounds of attack to send their general ideas to the second and third teams. Everyone rolled their eyes. This time, it was half-in-a-half-ambuster naval battle, so it was necessary to make the combat so complicated. But since that's the case.

Min Yue had an order, whether it was the first fleet of Yazhou, which is currently directly under Min Yue's subordinates or because of Ye Tao, he temporarily obeyed Min Yue's dispatch, but was already very obedient to Min Yue's dispatch, the Qihai Trading Fleet moved according to the new plan. At this time, the old man who had completed the fleet's turn and was following the formation movement of the first team saw something. Seeing that the fleet had clearly missed two rounds of attacks because of the adjustment, he deliberately let go of the surrounding formation, giving the other party room to turn. The old man immediately understood that he must have played something again.

Sure enough, the second and third teams supported it, and let the first team go around and complete the turn, rushing straight towards the horizontal side of the fleet that was destroyed by Bai Sa. The old man was very moved. He didn't believe that Min Yue, a guy who took advantage of his life, would fight the opponent on the shore battle, but the old man just glanced at the enemy's fleet formation and understood Min Yue's thoughts.

Facing the tiger-toothed ships that were better than those of the warships of the Bossa Fleet, although they were suitable for platoon battles, the enemy did not dare to use the side to welcome the impact of the Dongping Fleet. They turned in all directions. For a moment, loud shouts and chaotic water waves were everywhere on the sea.

Just at the last moment before he had time to turn the bow of the ship to avoid collision, Min Yue shouted: "Right 4!" With the signal hand swinging neatly, all the helmsmen of the entire team who had been waiting for orders were neatly ruddering the same right rudder. The violent turn made all the ships of the team tilt to the right obviously. At this time, Ye Tao ordered the signal hand standing beside him: "Flash according to the predetermined plan!" Ning Xuan, who had already adjusted the shooting data of the number, made a volley on the port side. The thick fire pillar shot from the fire spit through the gap between the two enemy ships that had almost wiped the impact, and licked it accurately on the enemy's flagship. At the same time, Mars bombs and turbulent bombs were sprinkled.

The entire target area. Ye Tao did not expect to fully accurately measure the distance in this high-speed action, but adopted the most reliable method: the Greek fire of the fire spitting equipment plus the coverage of a small area. The crossbows on the ship had been adjusted to a total of four gears, and the dispersion of the design itself was enough to make the enemy look good. Not only that, the two warships following the Ning Xuan were as planned, and the enemy also covered twice during the period. Although the hit rate of mobile shooting in naval battles was very unreliable, the three warships still hit a total of six Mars bombs, plus almost two hundred liters of Greek fire burning agent. According to everyone's experience in general naval battles, these things were enough for the opponent to die two times.

Ye Tao was still not satisfied. In his opinion, since he wanted to fight, he would just hit and sink. When Ning Xuan turned to complete, he was already standing on the rear deck of Ning Xuan, the largest and most farthest crossbow on the ship. He stood at the gunner's position, holding the scope, and the rangefinder quickly found the degree. After adjusting the crossbow, he stepped on the launching spring with force.

The crossbow is not loaded with Mars bombs, but a cylindrical stone bomb. These stone bombs are mainly used for gunners to practice during long-distance voyages, so as not to be hand-made when fighting. Usually they are thrown at the bottom of the bilge as a ballast. If it is normal, the stone bombs hit the enemy's tough warship boards, at most a depression will be smashed and several boat boards will be broken. But now, a large amount of Greek fire has been spilled, and many Mars bombs have been smashed. Those violently burning things at least

Some of the shipboards that had been carbonized, especially the sides of the enemy flagship, were even difficult to extinguish the fire. They had to burn until there was nothing to burn. At this time, Ye Tao's heart-wrenching stone bullet hit the waterline bit by bit, and suddenly made a big hole in the local flagship. Now, the other party's flagship was completely sentenced to death. In the telescope, the crew only symbolically slapped the fire a few times, piled up a few boards to block the water, and then abandoned the ship after a little struggle.

Ye Tao secretly called luck, and he didn't think he could win. But luck is luck. Seeing Min Yue open his mouth wide and look incredible, Ye Tao was quite content. "Old Min, this battle has been over."

The support fleet, which had completely gained the upper hand in combat, defeated the fleet that was pursuing Qi Zhentao in the Kingdom of Bosa. After throwing more than 20 ignited floats on the sea, the remaining part of the fleet of Bosa Kingdom could only watch Qi Zhentao's escort fleet and the fleet coming to support, and turned to the northwest. They were busy with the crew falling into the water and repairing most of the ships with wounds. They probably had to stay on Jinye Island for a while. Ye Tao, Qi Zhentao and Min Yue could discuss the next action without any obstacles and put it into practice.
