Chapter 1493 Ward Law.
"Took the bait!"
Lin Youshu was delighted when he confirmed that the opposing fleet had turned back to pursue.
At this moment, he was not in a hurry to order his fleet to turn back. He wanted to let the enemy chase him first and lure them in.
During this period, the enemy captain did not notice anything unusual.
From the perspective of the enemy captain, he only has six speedboats on the surface, but now he is directly attacking the eight opposing ships. To put it bluntly, he is not pretending anymore.
As long as the other party is not stupid, he should realize that there is a problem.
Right here, when the enemy fleet hadn't figured out who the fool was, on the decks of the warships on the Great Zhou side, their biological bombers had already taken off!
On the flank battlefield, four enemy speedboats tasked with encirclement were advancing at full speed.
Their target of encirclement was the First Fleet of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was located on the front battlefield.
In their opinion, the entire operation went very smoothly.
They had quietly completed the flanking mission and were just waiting for a signal from the front battlefield. They would then immediately enter the battlefield and cooperate with the flanking fleet on the other side to form an encirclement and cut off all the enemy fleet's retreat routes.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the naval soldiers standing on the deck suddenly felt a series of dark shadows flying past.
They subconsciously looked up, but before they could see the dark shadows clearly, wooden barrels tumbling and falling in the air appeared in their field of vision.
Then, without any warning, an astonishing amount of energy exploded from the barrel. The navy soldiers only heard a loud bang! Along with the flying wood debris, the rapidly spreading explosion swept the flames and instantly engulfed everything around.
And this is just the beginning! The pterosaur riders flew over the four enemy speedboats, dropping barrels of explosives one after another. The size of these speedboats could not be compared with that of large warships.
After only two rounds of bombing, the upper facilities of the four speedboats were basically flattened, and even the decks were completely blown through.
The Patton Empire's naval fleet had never faced an attack of this level before. No matter how rich their naval battle experience was, it was useless. There was no place for them to show their abilities. They were simply blown to pieces!
During this period, the Second Fleet where Bai Tu was located had been dormant for a long time. Seeing an opportunity, the four speedboats of the Second Fleet rushed out at the fastest speed.
While approaching the four speedboats on the enemy's flank, they skillfully switched to a trapezoidal formation that was more convenient for shooting with three-bow crossbows.
"Be careful to keep a safe distance. They still have the ability to attack and move! Don't let your guard down until they are completely sunk!"
Bai Tu's reminder was correct. The bombing by the pterosaur riders only destroyed the upper facilities of the four enemy ships.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the lower-level rowers do not go on strike, the ship will still be able to move. In even more extreme cases, they can even directly launch a self-sacrificing ramming attack, trying to make the half-destroyed speedboat crash directly into the enemy ship!
The clippers of this era were all equipped with metal rams for the purpose of this kind of collision.
Once it hits, the destructive power will be much more severe than that of a crossbow.
But unfortunately, the Patton Navy was obviously stunned by their own barrels of explosives, and there was chaos inside. Facing the rapid approach of the Great Zhou Second Fleet, they were unable to even make much of a reaction.
"attack!!"
The moment they entered the range of the three-bow crossbow, Bai Tu gave an order and giant crossbow arrows burst out one after another.
The Patton Navy, which was stunned by the explosion, now became a living target for the Great Zhou Navy at sea.
The continuous attack of the three-bow crossbow soon sank the four enemy ships one after another, and this was the key step of Bai Tu's tactics in this round!
Once the four speedboats of the Patton Navy sank, the military advantage of their Great Zhou Navy suddenly rose.
"Keep making a detour! We are going to outflank the enemy's fleet on the front battlefield! Pterosaur riders, cooperate with the first and third fleets, and sink the five enemy ships deployed on the other side as quickly as possible!"
With one successful strike, Bai Tu went straight into snowball mode! During this period, due to the vast sea battlefield and the fact that all this happened on the periphery, the main fleet of the Patton Navy had no idea that one of their fleets had been completely sunk.
At this point in time, they were still pursuing the First Fleet led by Lin Youshu.
The five enemy ships that were encircling the enemy on the other side were now gradually entering the field of vision of the First Fleet led by Lin Youshu, and were preparing to make a big move.
I never thought that at this moment...
"Everyone, pay attention! An enemy ship appears behind the port side!!"
On the lookout pole, the lookout kept ringing the copper bell hanging on the side while shouting. This sudden situation caused chaos among them! "Fuck! Where did those three ships come from?!"
While cursing, they soon discovered that the Great Zhou First Fleet, which had been retreating the entire time, was now pressing towards them in a fan-shaped counterattack posture.
In just a moment of turning around, Admiral Patton on the ship felt dizzy.
What the hell is going on? Shouldn't the enemy be the ones being surrounded? How come they are the ones being surrounded?! During this time, the enemy captain holding a telescope undoubtedly also discovered this situation.
The opponent also had a trick up his sleeve, which was not beyond his expectations.
After a quick check of the size, I found that there were only three Clippers, which was not enough for the opponent to reverse the situation.
You know, the one he had left behind was a total of nine speedboats! Nine! ! The only problem now was that the enemy's eight speedboats on the front battlefield and the three speedboats ambushed on the periphery formed a pincer attack on their North Sea Fleet's five speedboats.
With eleven against five, the situation was still very dangerous. If we were not careful, we would lose two or three more ships.
[If the four speedboats on the other side can arrive in time and form a counter-attack on the front line, it is not impossible to stabilize it. ]
With this thought in mind, the enemy captain subconsciously raised his telescope and glanced to the other side.
As a result, he found that the four speedboats he had arranged on the other side were nowhere to be seen.
This situation made him feel a little uneasy.
Before he could think about it, a series of loud noises and explosions suddenly came from a distance.
By the time he heard the noise and turned back with the telescope in hand, a round of bombing had already ended and thick smoke was billowing from several Patton warships.
"What just happened to Wardfa?!"
The enemy captain looked at his bodyguard standing nearby with an expression of disbelief.
The guard was confused by his question and couldn't help cursing in his heart...
[Fuck, you can't see it clearly with a telescope, how can I see it clearly with my naked eyes?! ]
