Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1472: Simple Military Suppression

At this stage, the four speedboats of Da Zhou are divided into a echelon. The first echelon is the one that is targeted by the opponent and regarded as a breakthrough point.

During this process, it is naturally impossible for the opponent to completely ignore the existence of the second echelon.

Basically, as soon as there is any movement here, they notice it immediately.

Major Blazer immediately looked over with a monocular telescope, and then his face darkened.

"Oh shit! They're trying to intercept our clipper!"

If their main flagship continued to rush towards the opposite first echelon without the help of their own four speedboats, it would be equivalent to actively rushing into the encirclement of the opposite first echelon, which is not much different from seeking death.

Of course he wouldn't do such a stupid thing!
"Pass the order down, immediately change direction and break out from the opposite direction!"

When the second echelon changed the encirclement target, the breakthrough of their main flagship was instantly opened, and Major Blazer immediately decided to escape from another direction.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

"No! The main flagship is too slow. If there is no speedboat escorting us, the other side's speedboat will catch up with us in no time. We won't be able to escape at all!"

Major Blazer quickly realized this and his face instantly turned ugly.

As the current situation continues to change, this whole situation can no longer be solved by them simply running away.

"Fake!!!"

Major Blazer was so angry that he couldn't help but kick the railing in front of him hard.

"Trap! This is a trap!!"

After venting his anger, Major Blazer took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Pass my order, change the target! We will directly attack the enemy ship on the port side!"

There is no way out! If you want to survive, you can only fight your way out!
Faced with this situation, Major Blazer began to get angry.

"It seems that the opposing commander has understood the current situation. Pass my order. The second echelon will pull back, and the first echelon will advance as quickly as possible!"

Seeing this, Bai Tu simply ordered his men to join in the pulling.

In the current situation, they have the upper hand in terms of military strength and the opponent has no way to escape, so there is no need for them to panic.

Bai Tu's calmness and composure infected the soldiers under his command, and the uneasiness in their hearts was somewhat dispelled.

During this process of constant tug-of-war, the distance between the two fleets was getting closer and closer.

The captains of the ships kept estimating the distance, and one ship after another had already turned sideways during the tug of war...

"attack!"

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by an order, the three crossbows installed on the ship opened fire at the same time. One after another, the enchanted crossbow arrows, with the sound of breaking through the air, shot straight towards the opposite ship.

The wooden hulls on the opposite side could not withstand the explosive fire from their enchanted crossbows. With wooden fragments flying everywhere, the entire fleet on the opposite side fell into panic.

"Counterattack! Counterattack quickly!!"

After only one round of attacks, they had clearly realized that the crossbows installed on the opposite ship had a longer range and greater power than theirs!

The only thing to be thankful for at this moment is that the crew members who have relatively rich experience in naval battles did not lose their minds.

This also made them very clear that in this situation, they could not escape. Rather than trying hard to escape and then being completely sunk by the enemy in the process of turning around and running away, it would be better to rush forward directly and see if they could replace a ship, and even have a chance of survival.

However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.

At this moment, it has nothing to do with technology and experience, it is just a matter of simple military suppression.

But don’t forget that at this moment the number of ships of Da Zhou is almost twice that of the opponent, and they maintain a double-teaming position throughout the whole process!

The constant pulling between the two sides may cause a slight difference in the distance between them, but it will definitely not be too far.

At the same time as the opposing fleet entered the firing range of the first echelon, the second echelon soon entered the firing range as well!
"attack!!"

In an instant, the two echelons sandwiched the enemy's four speedboats, directly forming cross fire.

Compared with the larger main flagship, due to space issues, each clipper was only equipped with three three-bow crossbows, but that was still not enough to accommodate their large number of ships.

Eight speedboats together have a total of 24 triple-bow crossbows! Not to mention the wooden speedboats on the opposite side, even if a city wall stands there, it can be blown to pieces!
The four speedboats were being destroyed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The soldiers on the ship had no idea how to resist. The cabin was damaged and the surrounding seawater was pouring in frantically. If this trend continued, they would be completely sunk in no time.

During this time, Bai Tu, standing on the deck of ship No. 7, had a calm expression on his face.

It would definitely be best if we could capture the enemy's ships intact.

Even for their Great Zhou, building a warship is a time-consuming and laborious task, which also makes the value of warships very high.

If we can directly seize a complete warship, it will definitely be a great achievement.

But in Bai Tu's opinion, they lack experience in naval warfare and there are a large number of naval recruits in the fleet. At this time, they should not be arrogant and think about seizing spoils of war, but should first consider defeating the enemy and ensuring their own safety!

Facing such a pincer attack, from Major Blazer's perspective, the scene made him shudder all over, because he knew very well that once all four speedboats were sunk, the next one to be sunk would be the main flagship where he was.

What made him even more devastated was that he couldn't escape at all.

"Attack, attack me!!"

Since we can't escape anyway, it would be a good idea to sink one or two ships of the enemy just to vent our anger.

At this time, everyone's ship had a wooden hull, and Da Zhou was no exception.

The enemy's crossbow may not be as good as their Great Zhou's three-bow crossbow, but it is also not something that a wooden hull can withstand.

This made the action of the opposing main flagship approaching actively seem very threatening in Bai Tu's eyes.

If there is any mistake, one or two ships may be taken away by the other side.

Bai Tu had been keeping an eye on the movements of the opposing main flagship the whole time, so how could he give them this opportunity now?

[I originally wanted to try to take down the big ship after I got rid of the four speedboats on the other side. But things didn't go so smoothly.]

However, he had no choice in this situation. As soon as he thought of this, Bai Tu immediately sent a signal.

While the second echelon kept its distance from the opposing main flagship at all times, the pterosaur riders who received the signal quickly set out.

Each of them was holding a wooden barrel with a ring, and the pterosaur's claws were holding on the ring.

After flying over the enemy's flagship, the pterosaur loosened its claws, and the barrel dropped instantly. There was a loud bang! The soldiers on the ship didn't even have time to react before the entire deck was completely engulfed by the flames of the explosion!
