Chapter 1471: Fleet Enters
"Six ships, seven ships! Eight ships?!!"
He glanced around and quickly counted the Great Zhou speedboats that had formed a siege from both sides, and Major Blazer's face instantly lost all color.
"Why are there so many ships on the other side?!"
He was not stupid. He could still tell that the flags flying on all the ships were the same.
Including the one being attacked by their assault ship, there were actually nine ships on the other side?! They were outnumbered in one fell swoop!
However, what Major Blazer did not know was that, apart from the transport ships, their Great Zhou's pioneering fleet consisted of a main flagship and ten speedboats in terms of combat ships.
At this stage, in addition to being able to charge into battle in the fleet, the Clippers can also be used as frigates.
One of their speedboats went back to deliver the message some time ago, so there were only nine ships present at the moment.
Under normal circumstances, the number of ships can directly reflect the strength of a fleet.
The number of ships on the other side is almost twice theirs. How can they fight? "Retreat! Retreat quickly!!"
Without even a moment's hesitation, faced with the gap that was right in front of him, Major Blazer issued the order to retreat extremely decisively. He had no illusions at all about the situation before him.
In a way, he is a decisive person.
At the moment, there were four enemy ships on each side, in echelon formation, arranged diagonally. No matter which direction they went, their route was blocked. Now they only had one choice left, which was to turn around! At the same time, facing this sudden situation, the retreat of the main flagship also paralyzed the four speedboats that rushed up to besiege the Great Zhou ships.
They were halfway through their charge when the command ship in the rear was about to retreat? During this period, the soldiers who had rowed their assault boats to the bottom of the Great Zhou ship and had engaged in a landing battle were in an even worse situation. Because they were too far away, they didn't even know what was happening.
If things go on like this, I’m afraid I won’t even know how I died.
But Major Blazer obviously didn't have time to take care of them. At the moment, the enemy's encirclement had not yet been completely formed. Once the encirclement was formed, they would not be able to leave even if they wanted to!
However, no matter how anxious Major Blazer was, the large ship could only turn around slowly and could not be as fast as the small boat.
During this process, Major Blazer's expression distorted as he watched the enemy ships on both sides maintaining a echelon formation and getting closer and closer to them.
"Send a signal and have our speedboat intercept the opposing ship to buy us some time!"
Having said this, Major Blazer paused, then immediately added a sentence.
"All four ships, push to the starboard side! Our ship will go that way too!"
Upon hearing this order, the adjutant's eyes suddenly lit up.
Although the eight ships that Da Zhou had sent out were numerous and completely overwhelmed them, in order to form a siege, their forces were completely dispersed to both sides, that is, four ships on each side.
Under this premise, if they concentrate their ships and attack one side.
Then, relying on their one large ship and four fast ships, they could temporarily suppress the opponent in terms of fleet size.
If you are lucky, you may be able to escape unscathed!
Obviously, this Major Blazer is not only good at talking, but also has some quick wit in critical moments.
The main flagship sent a signal, and the four speedboats that were halfway through the charge had no choice but to turn back to rescue even though they were terrified by the situation.
As for the assault ships and soldiers that had already rushed out...
They had no choice but to give up, as they no longer had time to wait for the soldiers to return.
The separation of the soldiers and the assault boats somewhat reduced the weight of the clipper itself. At this moment, the rowers on the boat were rowing with all their might.
This is not only to save the flagship, but also to save oneself.
After all, once the encirclement is formed, they will perish together.
At the same time, above the sea, Bai Tu, led by a pterosaur rider and with the "Eye of Insight" activated, could see almost all of the opponent's actions.
[The other side's reaction was quite quick. ]
Just as Bai Tu was thinking this, the voice of the pterosaur rider came.
"Colonel, for safety reasons, we have to land."
At this moment, the pterosaur under them was flapping its wings desperately to maintain its flying altitude, as if if they relaxed for a moment, they would fall on the spot.
Bai Tu, who saw this, did not force it.
"Go down and land on the deck of Ship No. 7."
The pterosaur's carrying capacity is even worse than that of a giant eagle. But think about it, as a giant eagle knight, the wood elves, although relatively slender in body, are at least about the same size as an adult human.
The pterosaur riders are the green lizards named Baltu, who are even more slender than the wood elves, even petite, and generally less than 1.6 meters tall. Just the regular weight they carry is not on the same level.
Now the load-bearing capacity of the two air cavalry units of the Great Zhou Dynasty is very poor. The Giant Eagle is relatively better. On this basis, the Giant Eagle is faster, has stronger burst, and is more swift. The advantage of the pterosaur is similar to that of the velociraptor cavalry, that is, it is more flexible.
In terms of aerial flexibility, they can even be said to completely surpass the Giant Eagle. Once an aerial battle breaks out, they will have a great advantage.
Back to the topic, before the plane ran out of energy and crashed, the pterosaur rider finally brought Bai Tu safely to the deck of ship No. 7.
After landing, the pterosaur with folded wings opened its mouth and drooled with fatigue.
Seeing this, the keeper in charge of taking care of the pterosaur on the deck hurriedly brought a bucket of fresh water for the pterosaur to drink.
It is worth mentioning here that Ship No. 7 is not their main flagship, but a fast ship located on the other side of the battlefield and is carrying out an encirclement tactic.
After all, according to the speed of the main flagship, if the opponent has already fled before the battle officially starts, there is a high probability that it will be too late to intervene in the battle on the main battlefield.
At this moment, Bai Tu, with the help of the escort of the pterosaur riders, landed on ship No. 7. While avoiding risks, it was convenient for him to observe the situation and command the battle.
"Pass my order, have the second echelon change their formation and go inward. There's no need to encircle the big ship on the opposite side. Instead, go and kill the four speedboats coming back for reinforcements!"
As he had just received the news, he simply arranged a counterattack tactic. Of course, the specific arrangements would have to be adjusted after he confirmed the actual situation.
Although Bai Tu himself did not have much experience in naval battles, he did have some battlefield experience, and some of his ideas naturally had something in common.
Just like their main flagship will most likely not have time to intervene in the battle here based on its sailing speed, the other side's main flagship will most likely not be able to escape!
The focus now is on the four Clippers on the opposite side.
As long as those four speedboats are eliminated, the main flagship of the opposite side will instantly become a lamb to be slaughtered in front of their Great Zhou fleet!
