Chapter 1494: Everything is under control
All this happened so quickly that the enemy captain was a little slow to react.
In comparison, the Patton Empire's flank fleet was thrown into complete chaos after suffering the aerial bombardment from the pterosaur riders.
With this wave of attacks from both sides, the Great Zhou Navy already has a double advantage in terms of position and manpower. So is there anything else that needs to be said about what to do next?
"Attack! Sink them as quickly as possible!!"
On the side of Fleet No. 1, Lin Youshu shouted orders.
As Bai Tu's adjutant, he now understood what his colonel wanted to do.
The colonel's intention this time is to destroy the entire fleet of the Patton Empire right here!
According to the intelligence they have obtained, as long as the Patton Empire's fleet is completely destroyed here, the North Sea Fleet on the opposite side will have very few troops left.
As a result, the North Sea Fleet itself no longer has the ability to threaten them.
If any subsequent action is to be launched, reinforcements must be mobilized from other waters of the Patton Empire.
Invisibly, it can also buy them a lot of time.
The ambush consisted of a total of nine speedboats, divided into two groups to encircle the enemy from the left and right wings respectively.
At this moment, five of them are being buried in a grand ceremony in the distance, and the whereabouts of the other four are unknown.
At this moment, everyone should realize that something is wrong.
[Fight? Or retreat?! ]
Holding the telescope in his hand, the enemy captain's eyes kept scanning the surrounding waters. With a frantic struggle in his heart, he finally gritted his teeth and resolutely issued the order to retreat.
"Fuck! Retreat!!!"
As mentioned before, he is a cautious person. He felt that the chances of winning were too great, so he took further action, and even the process of the action could not be considered rash.
The result was that he stepped into Bai Tu's trap.
Before it completely fell, the enemy captain had already cut off his arm to survive! The four speedboats that have not been seen yet are probably gone, and the remaining five are now being attacked by the eleven speedboats on the opposite side.
Unless there is external support, they will not be able to escape by themselves if the enemy fleet continues to pursue them! As the "external force" on the battlefield in this sea area, he has no intention of commanding his six speedboats to rescue them.
His cautious character ultimately made him make a conservative decision.
He was afraid of being rescued, so he also sank all six of his own speedboats.
Compared to taking a risk, he would rather lose his arm to survive! But sometimes, even if you lose your arm, you may not be able to survive...
"Major! A strange fleet appeared from the side and rear, with four warships!"
The enemy captain's heart skipped a beat when he heard the report.
"Sure enough, there is an ambush!"
The disappearance of their four speedboats was definitely related to the strange fleet that suddenly appeared behind them! He quickly used the telescope to confirm the flag of the strange fleet.
Looking at the flag that was almost identical to the flag of the fleet behind, the enemy captain's face suddenly turned pale and blue.
"Sly bastard!"
At this moment, while cursing Bai Tu for his cunning, the enemy captain couldn't help but feel a strong sense of powerlessness.
He himself was not a gifted commander, but his many years of military service and rich experience, coupled with his cautious character, allowed him to accumulate enough qualifications to become the captain of the First Fleet of the North Sea.
He believed that if he met any opponent at sea, as long as the size of the fleets was not too different, even if he could not win, he would not be easily defeated.
However, this fight with Bai Tu made him fall into strong self-doubt.
He felt that his every move seemed to be under the control of the other party, as if he was completely seen through by the other party.
However, what he didn't know was that this was not his illusion...
Bai Tu had no intention of concealing the existence of the pterosaur rider.
In this era, the main feature of the air force is that it is useless to know it, it is simply invincible.
There was a chance that we could have discovered it on the other side, but unfortunately the telescope happened to be moved away at that time, so there was nothing we could do.
"Don't worry about them, evacuate at full speed!!"
The enemy captain knew clearly that the other party's purpose in catching up with them was to delay them.
As long as they can slow down their evacuation speed, the main fleet further behind will immediately turn around and catch up after they have dealt with their five speedboats, and cooperate with this fleet.
The ultimate goal is to destroy them all!
Thinking of this, the enemy captain's face became so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.
He had been in the army for forty years, and this battle was a great humiliation. He had never been defeated so thoroughly.
In such a short period of time, nine of his fifteen speedboats were all gone. The opponent's operation throughout the whole process did not even leave him any room to fight back!
Thinking of this, the enemy captain's expression began to distort.
But the rationality in his heart made him not want to turn back to avenge his humiliation, but he led his six speedboats to evacuate at full speed without looking back! "You really didn't even turn your head back..."
On the deck, looking at the six enemy ships evacuating at full speed, Bai Tu asked quickly.
"Can the pterosaur riders be deployed?"
Bai Tu had to admit that when he was commanding the battle now, he really relied on the bombing force composed of pterosaur riders.
Mainly because it works so well.
This is like two armies fighting, you have a Vajra Realm warrior in your hand, but the other side doesn't, so you have to use him like a beast of burden? "No, the pterosaur's physical strength can't keep up!"
Through aerial bombing, nine enemy speedboats were deprived of their ability to resist. Pterosaurs had poor endurance to begin with, and after carrying out such high-frequency continuous bombing missions, each pterosaur was so tired that they rolled their eyes and foamed at the mouth.
There was no way, Bai Tu turned his head and estimated the distance between the two sides, while also weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
Finally made up my mind...
"Release the assault ship!"
As this order was issued, one assault ship after another was quickly lowered onto the sea.
Needless to say, this is a tactic learned from Patton's Navy.
This tactic looks simple, but there are actually some tricks involved.
There is no need to explain the risks involved. In addition, another key point is to grasp the distance.
It's too far to break through, or if they do break through, the soldiers will use all their energy on rowing, and in the end it will be basically in vain.
This area really requires experience and on-the-spot judgment.
Although Bai Tu possesses the highest level of five-star command, he is unable to directly make up for this lack of experience.
But unlike the opposing commander, Bai Tu was always aggressive when fighting! He was more offensive in nature, and when he was in a dilemma, he was more willing to give it a try!
