Chapter 1533: Attack the North Sea Again

This winter is destined to be restless...

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

The alarm sounded at the North Sea port of the Patton Empire. With the loud shouts, the entire port and even the offshore area fell into commotion.

"Traces of a strange fleet have been discovered in the outer waters! There are more than twenty ships so far!"

"Is it the enemy fleet that attacked the North Sea before?"

“I can’t be sure!”

"Fuck! Why at this moment!"

The sudden situation, coupled with unconfirmed intelligence, caused chaos on the Patton Empire's side.

Due to the previous confrontation, there was no fleet stationed in the North Sea area. In order to avoid this situation, the East China Sea Fleet and the West China Sea Fleet urgently dispatched a formation to assist in the garrison.

Currently, the garrison force in the North Sea consists of two large warships and twenty-six speedboats.

There were originally only twenty clippers, and the six extra ones were partly produced in a rush after the losses suffered in the North Sea, and partly repaired clippers that had not been sunk in the previous bombing.

After being equipped with naval forces, these clippers were directly incorporated into the existing garrison fleet.

At this moment, facing the suspected culprit who caused the annihilation of the North Sea Fleet, as well as one formation each from the East Sea Fleet and the West Sea Fleet, it would be a lie to say that the two garrison formations did not feel the slightest bit nervous.

"Be careful of the opponent's aerial attacks!"

At that time, part of the battle took place directly within the territorial waters of the Patton Empire. During the confrontation between the two sides, some intelligence information would naturally be exposed to their eyes.

But knowing the intelligence is one thing, and being able to deal with it is another.

At the same time, compared to the 25 speed ships that directly deployed their formation and advanced, the ironclad ship No. 001 remained hidden throughout the whole process and had no intention of entering the battlefield directly.

Bai Tu was in the command room of the Ironclad Ship No. 001, directing the battle with a small communication cube.

Long before their fleet officially entered the battlefield, he had already sent out pterosaur riders to conduct reconnaissance.

Therefore, he now has an idea of ​​the size of the garrison fleet in the North Sea area and even some defensive deployments in the port area.

When Bai Tu learned that the enemy's garrison fleet only had two large warships and 22 speedboats, he knew that he had come to the right place! After experiencing the disappearance of its fleets one after another, the Barton Empire should have realized, no matter how stupid it was, that a fleet of normal size could no longer handle the threat they were facing.

If you want to deal with it, you can only assemble a larger fleet and try with more powerful force.

With this as a premise, the size of the current garrison fleet obviously does not meet this requirement.

There are basically only two possibilities for this situation. Either the Patton Empire can no longer send out more fleets, or the Patton Empire's fleet has not yet been fully assembled!

Thanks to the information provided by Charlie and Harald, Bai Tu had a relatively good understanding of the military situation of the Patton Empire.

Therefore, in his opinion, the former is almost impossible, and the actual situation is most likely the latter! Otherwise, how can we say that they came at the right time?

If they could seize this opportunity and severely damage the other fleet before they finished assembling, then this time, they could even be said to have secured victory in advance! With this in mind, Bai Tu quickly gave orders, signaling the pterosaur riders on each ship to take off and launch an aerial bombardment on the defending Patton fleet.

Faced with this almost unsolvable method, Patton's fleet had nowhere to escape.

The barrels of explosives fell, accompanied by a violent explosion. The spreading blast continued to destroy the upper facilities of Patton's ship.

Patton's fleet had obviously made psychological preparations for this bombing attack in advance and had agreed on a set of response modes.

The bombed Patton clippers approached the location of the Great Zhou fleet without saying a word.

Those ships that were not bombed simply abandoned the North Sea port and retreated to farther seas, intending to distance themselves from the pterosaur riders.

This response mode is basically the same as the tactics used by Harald when he commanded the fleet to deal with them at sea.

The core idea is to use the ships that have been bombed to launch self-sacrifice attacks and try to destroy one of their ships.

The ships that were not bombed tried to keep as much distance as possible, in order to consume the pterosaur riders' physical strength.

After all, to be honest, physical strength is indeed the biggest shortcoming of the air bombing force at this stage.

Once the pterosaur riders run out of strength, the Great Zhou fleet will not be able to carry out aerial bombing.

Faced with a tactic he had experienced once before, Bai Tu was not panicked at all at this moment.

Compared with the previous one, this time he had 25 fast ships and a steam ironclad warship. The one in front of him was just a small scene! "According to the ship numbers, five ships form a formation, spread out the attack formation, and advance from the front."

"The artillery formation stays behind and waits for my signal to launch the attack. The crossbow formation leads the way. Each formation focuses fire on one ship on the opposite side. As long as it enters the attack range, launch an attack immediately! Try to sink it in the shortest possible time!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The front-line fleet had three small communication cubes. One was placed in the command room of the main flagship No. 001 where Bai Tu was located, one was placed in the command ship of the artillery formation, and one was placed in the command ship of the crossbow formation.

It has to be said that with this small communication cube, it became much more convenient for him to command operations at sea, and the overall command efficiency was greatly improved.

Compared with before, now it can even be said to be as easy as pie!

After receiving the order, the Great Zhou fleet quickly took action according to the instructions.

Compared with the past, the current Great Zhou Navy, after experiencing a series of battles and accumulating experience in naval battles, is now a completely different place!

Accompanied by the pterosaur riders' vigorous aerial bombardment, the ships of both sides quickly closed the distance.

The Patton warship, whose upper facilities were completely destroyed, was a moving target in front of the Great Zhou fleet. Under the orderly concentrated fire attack of the bed crossbow formation, the Patton warship, whose cabin was flooded with water, lost its ability to move one after another.

During this period, they dropped the assault ships as if in their death throes and launched a further charge towards the Great Zhou fleet.

To some extent, these assault ships are more troublesome.

After all, the target was too small and moved too fast, so it was difficult to attack it directly with the three-bow crossbow. The only option was for the musketeers on the deck to carry out concentrated fire attacks.

After listening to the report from the front and learning the latest situation, Bai Tu looked calm. At present, the whole situation is still under his control.

At this moment, a pterosaur rider who was responsible for outer perimeter surveillance and reconnaissance flew back quickly.

"Report to the Colonel, a large-scale Patton fleet has been spotted in the outer waters!"

Bai Tu frowned when he confirmed the news, but then he reacted quickly.

"Oh, you're playing this on me?"
