Chapter 1473 Biological Bomber
Accompanied by a roaring explosion, the explosion continued to spread and easily destroyed the superstructure of the main flagship on the opposite side.
For the first time in this era, the biological bomber initially demonstrated its dominance in the naval battle! Bai Tu didn't want to use this trick. In addition to wanting to seize the big ship on the opposite side, there was another more important reason: the number of explosive barrels they brought out this time was relatively limited.
At the same time, as a "bomber" pterosaur, the gripping strength of its claws is also very limited.
When they were making the barrel of explosives, they also specially equipped it with a ring to facilitate grabbing, taking this problem of pterosaurs into consideration.
But even if this is achieved, it still cannot fundamentally change the pterosaur's grip problem.
This means that the content of explosives in a barrel is relatively limited, and the explosive power is naturally limited as well.
If you want to create repressive force, you can only rely on stacking numbers.
It is far from the point where a single round of bombing could directly sink a large ship on the opposite side.
In this wave, in order to ensure that the opposing ship lost the ability to resist, the pterosaur riders fired three consecutive bombs, completely blowing up the upper deck of the ship.
The wooden hull was directly ignited by the flames formed by the explosion, and thick smoke billowed out.
[Is this about right? ]
Looking at the burning ship from afar, Bai Tu was thinking in his mind.
He was not in a hurry to begin with, and naturally he was even less anxious now.
[Since the bombing has already happened, let's just let the fire burn. If there are still people hiding in this boat, the thick smoke from the fire alone will force them to jump into the sea.]
[Wait until everyone on the boat jumps into the sea, then move closer to put out the fire, and then take over the boat! ]
Even though the upper floors were blown up and were now on fire, as long as the main frame below the deck of the ship was not damaged, it could still retain 50% to 60% of its value, or even higher.
At that time, we can simply overhaul the original frame as a basis and it will become a usable large ship again, which will save money and effort than building it from scratch.
With this thought in mind, Bai Tu's attention was now completely focused on the big ship.
After all, from the perspective of spoils of war, compared with the four speedboats whose hulls had been pierced by their three-bow crossbows and which were likely to sink due to the backflow of seawater, the large ship in the distance that was half-blown by them and was on fire should be their biggest spoils of war this time!
During this period, Bai Tu basically ignored the four speedboats that had begun to sink under the cross-attack of the three-bow crossbows of their Great Zhou fleet.
In other words, there is no need to continue paying attention.
Before their own ships sank, the soldiers on the opposing side jumped into the sea to save their lives.
Bai Tu did not rush to give orders to salvage them, but first sent two speedboats to support Ship No. 5 which was attacked by the enemy assault ship.
As for the enemy soldiers, just soak in the sea first. This will help to drain their physical strength so that they won't behave themselves when you catch them.
After estimating that most of the people on the opposite ship had escaped, Bai Tu gave the order slowly...
"Put out the fire, get closer!"
Before the Great Zhou's ships approached, the pterosaur riders had already quickly scooped up buckets of sea water from the nearby sea and poured them on the still burning ship.
By the time Bai Tu and the second team arrived nearby and surrounded the burning ship, the fire had been basically brought under control.
Seeing this, Bai Tu commanded his soldiers to quickly complete the fire-fighting task, and then asked the soldiers to confirm whether there were any survivors on the ship.
At the same time, the main flagship of their Great Zhou pioneering fleet finally arrived at the battlefield, and it can be said that they perfectly missed this naval battle.
The huge size and slow speed of the main flagship was naturally one of the reasons, but the more important reason was that this naval battle ended too quickly.
Taking the background of the times into consideration, the ship moves slowly, the main weapon has a low attack frequency, and its accuracy at sea is poor. Unless one side stands still and attacks you, otherwise the two sides will deal with each other and keep pulling, and there will be a fight.
Who would have thought that while Da Zhou was suppressing its troops, the power of the three-bow crossbow was even more ferocious, and it blew them up one by one with a wave of crossfire! After the battle was completely over, Bai Tu didn't need to say much, and the navy soldiers under his command naturally began to salvage the enemy soldiers who had fallen into the sea before.
In this era, naval soldiers who can go to sea on ships must have excellent water skills, which is the most basic of the basics.
As long as you weren't seriously injured before falling into the water, nothing will happen at this moment.
The enemy soldiers who were salvaged knew that they had been defeated. In addition, they had been running in the sea for a long time, so they behaved relatively honestly at this moment.
Of course, there are exceptions…
"I want to see your chief, I want to see your chief!"
At this moment, Major Blazer, who was rescued from the sea by the soldiers of the Great Zhou, had completely lost the high spirits he had at the beginning.
At that time, the pterosaur riders bombed their main flagship from the air. Although Major Blazer was not directly hit by the explosion, he was also affected by the impact of the explosion. The spreading flames burned his luxurious military uniform.
Later, in order to save his life, he jumped into the sea and became a drowned chicken.
His originally neatly slicked-back hair was now in wisps, as if a pile of seaweed was piled on his head, making him look extremely disheveled.
However, no matter how embarrassed he was and his clothes were torn, it was not difficult to tell from the remaining golden braiding and his reaction at this time that this guy should be the officer on the opposite side.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't think much about it and tied him up and sent him to Ship No. 7 where Bai Tu was.
Although the dress style of the Great Zhou Navy was completely different from theirs, Major Blazer, who was tied up, still confirmed the identity of Commander Bai Tu at a glance.
"I am Charlie Blazer, the youngest son of the Patton Empire's Blazer family patriarch! My father, Hans Blazer, is the Imperial Navy Marshal. As long as you send me back, my father will definitely give you a generous thank you gift!"
Now that Major Blazer had just been defeated, his fleet was destroyed, and he himself was taken prisoner, he could see the situation clearly. He was no longer tough at all. He immediately stated his identity and brought out his backers.
It was called a thank-you gift, but in fact it was just a nicer way of saying it to save face.
To put it bluntly, the other party was asking them to go to the Patton Empire and notify the other party's father, who was the Imperial Navy Marshal, to come and redeem him.
Of course, it was probably meant to threaten them as well.
Tell them that if I die, they will be in big trouble! (End of this chapter)
