Chapter 1503 Situation Changes
At the same time, on the side of the Great Zhou fleet, after the sentry reminded him, Bai Tu was observing the movements of the five speed ships throughout the whole process.
The other party's intention was too obvious. It was obvious that they wanted to take a shortcut to intercept them.
But Bai Tu didn't care, and the original tactical arrangements did not need to be adjusted.
Now that they have already come in, a full-scale confrontation with the North Sea Fleet is inevitable.
At the same time, now that they have already sunk three opposing clippers and then made them lose their attack capability, is there any need for them to avoid it?
At this moment, Bai Tu's aggressive side gradually emerged.
The enemy ship was in pursuit all the way, and under attack from three-bow crossbows, the cabin was flooded with water. The enemy ship that was at the rear and acted as a shield was soon overwhelmed and began to sink.
But the sinking of a ship is basically a slow process, it does not sink instantly.
This situation directly resulted in the sinking enemy ships blocking the path of their Great Zhou fleet.
With no other choice, they could only go around it, which delayed them a lot of time.
Just when Bai Tu was thinking about whether to adjust the tactical arrangements, he looked in the direction where the remaining two enemy ships fled, and saw two ships that were obviously larger in size slowly approaching this side in the distance.
Needless to say, it was the two remaining large warships of the North Sea Fleet! At this moment, the two large warships were not concentrated in one place, but one on the left and one on the right, supporting each other, like left and right guards, setting up a formation and advancing steadily.
Although in previous reports, Bai Tu had complained a lot about the slow movement of large warships and their inability to keep up with the current tactics of their Great Zhou fleet.
But at the same time he had to admit that large warships were not entirely useless.
At least it works well when defending one's own waters.
If the enemy wants to capture your port, the enemy fleet will have to rush in, and the large warships only need to stay in the port and wait for the enemy to tire themselves out.
The disadvantage of its slow speed can be completely avoided, and instead the advantage of its fierce firepower can be fully utilized.
From this point of view, he is simply the god of defensive warfare.
This was also the main reason why Bai Tu left two large warships for Lin Youshu to defend.
There are also two large warships on the opposite side, and Bai Tu is not unaware of this.
But when we really face each other, the inner pressure is really a lot.
At the same time, he suddenly realized that this large warship was really tricky! If he sent a clipper to fight against the large warship, the opponent would be tougher and have more firepower, and the clipper would most likely not be able to withstand it and would not be able to fight against the opponent.
If we change the method and let the pterosaur riders conduct aerial bombing...
In the battle with Charles' fleet, the pterosaur riders fired three rounds of bombs before they finally flattened the upper facilities of a large warship and destroyed the enemy's attack capability, but they were still far from sinking it.
There are two large warships on the opposite side. It will take six rounds to blow up the upper facilities alone! Using the simplest method to calculate, it can be seen from the previous battle that the limit state of the pterosaur riders is to make the nine speedboats lose their attack capability.
They have already destroyed six ships now, and if they destroy three more clippers at most, the Pterosaur’s strength will run out.
Taking into account that there was a break in between, after a while of relaxation, if we grit our teeth, we might be able to blow up one or two more ships, but it's hard to say for sure.
But catching two large warships and bombing them six times in a row was undoubtedly beyond their physical limit. Even if they wanted to kill them, they couldn't do it! At this moment, Bai Tu's brain was working at high speed. He had multiple choices and was weighing them. Which choice would be the most beneficial to him? At the same time, his eyes were constantly looking around the battlefield.
As soon as the two large warships appeared on the opposite side, the five enemy speedboats that were originally preparing to intercept them immediately changed their action mode and had already started to go around them.
From the look of things, you can tell that they're trying to outflank them.
Five Clippers is not a small number. Once they are successfully outflanked, it will be difficult for them to escape.
The situation before him did not give him time to dwell on it. The whole process took only the blink of an eye for Bai Tu to make a decision.
"Pass my order. Have the pterosaur riders attack the speedboat in the front. The entire fleet should rush to the outer sea area at the fastest speed!"
After receiving the order, the pterosaur riders, who had taken a break, perked up and flapped their wings to take off.
With the distance shortened to this point, the other side finally discovered the presence of the pterosaur riders.
"What is that?"
"It looks like a large flying bird..."
"Damn it, they're flying towards us!"
“…”
For now, the discovery has only made them more confused.
The aerial bombing of the pterosaur riders will not be affected much by this.
The previous rounds of bombing had already consumed a great deal of the pterosaurs' physical strength. Now that they were flying over the enemy ships, they could hardly wait to loosen their claws and let barrels of explosives fall onto the ships below.
As the explosions sounded, Patton's navy finally knew what had happened to the six ships in front.
At this moment, the three enemy ships in the front were subjected to ruthless bombing. While the upper facilities were completely destroyed, the shock caused by the explosion and the sound also caused the three bombed enemy ships to lose control for a time.
Many Patton Navy soldiers jumped into the sea to survive.
"Emergency evasion! Emergency evasion!!"
The captain of the second fleet yelled at the top of his lungs.
During this process, the two speedboats chasing behind were also implicated and almost collided with their own ships! For a moment, the scene was in chaos.
And this is undoubtedly what Bai Tu wants to see.
At this moment, their Great Zhou fleet has turned around and rushed towards the outer waters at the fastest speed.
The large enemy warships that were originally closing the distance with them were once again widened by their turnaround charge.
Since large warships are difficult to deal with in a head-on confrontation, it is better to simply avoid a head-on confrontation with the enemy.
Don't forget, they have aerial bombing forces.
At worst, he could just retreat temporarily. After two days, when the pterosaur's strength had recovered, he could directly sink the two large warships from a long distance!
During this period, standing on the deck of one of the large warships, the Governor of the North Sea apparently guessed this possibility.
This time he was so anxious that he was jumping up and down.
However, no matter how anxious he was, it was of no use. The speed of the large warships was there. The other party's speedboat fleet did not fight you, but turned around and ran away. You could not catch up at all.
