Chapter 1495: When fate comes, it will naturally happen
On the Da Zhou side, as soon as the assault ship was lowered, the enemy captain knew that he would not be able to easily escape from the enemy this time.
However, facing the tactics they themselves used, he naturally would not let the other side succeed so easily.
The crossbow, as a large weapon, was not very effective against the small and light assault ship, so he simply asked all the crossbowmen on the ship to stand by on the deck.
In a sea battle, long-range attack is a very important means! During this time, Bai Tu opened his "Eye of Insight" and naturally noticed the movement on the opposite deck.
He had neglected this wave. As a Hundred Refining Realm fighter under his command, Lin Youshu was currently in the fleet at the rear.
Otherwise, in this situation, if Lin Youshu could lead the charge, it would definitely reduce a lot of difficulty.
But then I changed my mind and thought that if I wanted this guy to assist in commanding the fleet and also to lead the charge, it didn’t seem like I could ask too much…
At the same time, Bai Tu also knew that Lin Youshu's real talent was in commanding operations as a naval general.
The bravery of that person, who only has three stars, is destined to have limited growth. The strength of the Hundred Refining Realm is just icing on the cake for him.
In the later stage of transformation, it can be used for self-protection in some special periods and that's it. You can't really use it as a strong future force.
In this matter, instead of expecting Lin Youshu, he might as well expect more from Kara, because that is the real good candidate to be a powerful general.
Although Kara is under his command now, there is no guarantee that His Majesty will have any new arrangements in the future.
This made Bai Tu wonder whether he should write an application to keep Kara as a high-end combat force under his command.
Or it would be nice to replace Kara with another powerful general.
Of course, despite all his thoughts, Bai Tu did not forget the important matter at hand.
The lightly equipped assault ships had an advantage in speed. The soldiers paddled hard, and one assault ship after another broke through the waves and approached the enemy fleet at the fastest speed.
After approaching to a certain distance, they quickly raised their shields and held them above their heads. They were imitating others, and they could do it.
During this process, the crossbowmen deployed on the deck on the opposite side also quickly launched an attack on them.
Crossbow arrows flew through the air and hit their shields directly.
The arrow penetrated the shield, but it was not enough to penetrate it completely. The shield wall provided effective protection for the soldiers of the Great Zhou.
Taking advantage of the gap between the two rounds of shooting from the opposite side's crossbow, the two shields at the rear end of the Great Zhou assault ship quickly opened a gap about four fists wide, like a door.
At the same time, a black gun barrel quickly stretched out from the gap...
At that time, on the deck of the enemy ship, a crossbowman who had been rotated forward was preparing to set up a single crossbow and aim to shoot.
In the next moment, there was a muffled "bang" sound, and a flower of blood bloomed directly on his forehead!
The hot blood splattered on the faces of the surrounding soldiers. They didn't even react and didn't know what was happening.
At the same time, after a shot, the two shields immediately closed again, tightly fitting together! Under the shield, the soldier who was responsible for holding the shield couldn't help but ask...
"Did you hit the target with this shot?"
Hearing this, the musketeer leaning against the stern rolled his eyes.
"How should I know? I just use my gun as it comes!"
Those who were able to hold muskets and were assigned to the stern of the ship were all the best in their musketeer corps.
But no matter how accurate his shooting was in other times, now that he was on this swaying assault ship, with two shields blocking his vision and time being so limited, it was difficult for him to muster up confidence.
In the end, he just took a look and then shot based on his feeling.
The shooting technique is based on fate. When the time is right, you will hit the target naturally.
While complaining about this, the musketeer did not stop moving his hands for even a moment.
I saw him clean the gun chamber skillfully and quickly, then reloaded the bullets and gunpowder, waiting for the moment when the shield would be opened again, extending the barrel forward, taking a look, and immediately pulling the trigger!
Keep calm and shoot first, regardless of whether you hit the target or not.
The musketeers on the assault ship had few opportunities to shoot along the way, so how could they hesitate? During this period, the musketeers' casual shooting skills really played a certain deterrent role.
The main thing is that this is not a crossbow. The naval soldiers of the Patton Empire have never seen this method of attack, and the effect when it hits the body is quite scary.
The crossbow arrow would at most penetrate into the forehead, so in comparison, the death was relatively peaceful. But this thing, once it hit the head, the head would explode, leaving no intact body! And it would splatter all over the people around! The visual impact it brought to Patton's soldiers was not a little bit.
For the person who died, the feeling might not be much different, but for the bystanders, the latter was obviously more painful, or more frightening! At this moment, many Patton soldiers even felt a little scared.
Invisibly, even actions become timid.
After all, no one wants to be the next unlucky person with his brain splattered all over the place! As the long-range firepower of both sides was pulling back and forth, the assault ship of Da Zhou had already rushed to the front!
“Bump into it!!!”
Their biggest mission of this trip is to use the metal ram of the assault ship to directly ram a hole in the opposing warship, allowing water to enter the opponent's cabin, slowing down their sailing speed, or even going a step further and making them lose their ability to move!
Faced with the assault ship's desperate and self-sacrificing attack, the wooden hull basically could not withstand it and soon suffered damages of varying degrees.
During this time, flying ropes flew out one after another, and the soldiers of the assault force risked their lives to launch a landing battle! "Kill!!!"
Once the assault ship appears, after entering the landing battle, it is almost unrealistic for the attacked fleet to remain unaffected.
On Patton's navy side, the whole scene quickly fell into chaos.
The more chaotic the scene is, the more advantageous it will be for the Great Zhou assault force.
The chaotic situation will expose flaws more quickly, and as long as they seize the opportunity, they can quickly climb onto the opposing ship!
"Ward's Law..."
Looking at the chaotic deck, the enemy captain's expression twisted.
His sight fell on a Great Zhou soldier who rushed onto their deck. He saw the enemy captain draw the sword at his waist, rush forward, and with a flash of the sword, he instantly cut the throat of the Great Zhou soldier.
"A warrior in the Hundred Refinements Realm, there is a warrior in the Hundred Refinements Realm on this deck!!"
The Da Zhou soldiers who noticed the enemy's presence hurriedly shouted to alert other comrades.
However, in a small-scale armed conflict, the dominance of the warriors in the Hundred Refinements Realm is very strong.
The enemy captain, who was holding back his anger, looked at the Great Zhou soldiers with murderous intent on his face! "I'll use you to vent my anger!"
