Tari ibn Abi has indeed won several naval battles, in this Red Sea land, he can be regarded as a famous figure, but, in terms of his naval battle tactics, in fact, it is still at the primitive level of broadside warfare, and it cannot be said that it lacks the art of command, but the gold content is really not high, and he can't understand the mystery of the Tang Fleet's arrangement, but there is one thing he can see, that is, the six Datang giant ships lined up in front are warships, and the ones arranged in a dense phalanx behind are all cargo ships. And this is exactly what Tari ibn Abi wants to see, if nothing else, because the reason why he is so tough on fighting this battle is because of the huge wealth brought by the Tang Fleet, and those so-called rude words of the Tang Fleet are just some strong excuses.

As the only naval commander of the Arab Empire, Tari ibn Abi has been smooth sailing for nearly ten years, but since two years ago, when Yazid ibn Abu, the eldest son of the current caliphate, was sent to serve as the governor of Egypt, his good life has come to an end. This made Tari ibn Abi angry, but helpless, who let him and the governor have never been on good terms, in order to subsidize the military, Tari ibn Abi had to hit the idea to the head of the merchant ships, but there was the governor staring at the top, he didn't dare to do too much, he could only blackmail a little, it was really difficult to use, this time seeing the scale of the Tang fleet, he had already been thinking about playing a "three-light policy", Coincidentally, the refusal of the Tang fleet to get soldiers on the ship gave him a reason to go to war, and he would not let go of such a God-given opportunity, and it was inevitable that he would go to war.

"Order: Encircle and destroy the six enemy ships in front, and do not attack the merchant ships behind without an order!"

Although Tari ibn Abi didn't understand the mystery of the ** formation, but he didn't pay much attention to it, in his opinion, his own warships were dozens of times that of the opponent, and the advantage of troops was obvious, how could he not take the opponent, so he confidently issued a general attack order, and in an instant, more than 200 big food warships densely pounced on the Tang fleet like locusts.

"Order: All ships open their shooting holes, use our ship as a benchmark, and prepare to shoot!"

Lin Hu's heart was not to start a war at this time, but since the war was inevitable, he would never retreat, and at this time, seeing that the Great Food Fleet had rushed up, he didn't dare to slack off a little, and issued an order to prepare for war in a loud voice.

With the sound of the horn, Wang Yuanzheng, who was standing on the tall mast, immediately waved the two small flags in his hand and transmitted Lin Hu's order to the ships, but listening to the loud sound of the trumpet, the six ships of "Weiyuan", "Weiwu", "Weishun", "Weining", "Weizhen" and "Weiming" opened the shooting holes of the upper and lower decks almost at the same time, skillfully pushed various types of ballista carts to the shooting position, and the tips of the rows of giant crossbow arrows flashed a little cold light of death in the sun!

The warships of the Great Food Navy are all small and medium-sized warships, all of which are equipped with sails and two rows of paddlers on the left and right, although the ships are small, the speed is extremely fast, especially the short-distance acceleration ability is even more amazing, Tari Ibn Abi's order was issued, with three medium-sized warships as the lead, more than 40 small boats as the two wings of the vanguard warship group has quickly rushed to the distance less than 100 steps away from the Datang Fleet, so close that you can clearly see the hideous faces of the officers and men of the Great Food Navy without a telescope, and the shouts of the Great Food Navy are heard one after another. The sound of the horn kept stimulating the nerves of everyone in the Tang Fleet, Rao is group of people were already veterans of several bloody battles, and they couldn't help but get nervous at this time, but Lin Hu was unmoved, still standing firmly on the front deck, and did not give the order to fire, even if the Great Food Battleship had actually entered the range of the fatal blow of the Tang Fleet at this time.

"That's pretty much enough!" Lin Hu has always been very calm, the more the big battle is imminent, the more he can calm down, no matter how the Great Food Navy roars and shouts, Lin Hu is unmoved, just silently estimates the distance between each other, and after seeing that the Chinese army in the enemy fleet has also crossed the fatal strike line one hundred and fifty steps away from his side, Lin Hu sneered, raised his hand, waved it downward, and shouted loudly: "Shoot!" ”

"Shoot!"

"Shoot!"

"Kill!"

……

With the wave of Wang Yuanzheng's flag, the captains of all ships roared almost at the same time, and the shooters who had been on call for a long time did not dare to slack off, and they all shouted and pulled the thick ** rope bolted to the trigger, but in the sound of the machine spring, one hundred and twenty large crossbow arrows roared out from each ship, cutting through the space like a thunderbolt, with a roar of death, and rushed straight towards the oncoming Great Food Pioneer Fleet.

Suspense? There is no suspense! On the distance of less than sixty steps between the two sides, with the power of the Tang ballista, a thick steel plate can shoot a big hole, not to mention the wooden boats of the Great Food Navy, in front of the giant crossbow arrows, it is almost like a paper paste, but whoever is shot, all of them are torn out of a huge wound by the powerful impact force, if you are lucky, you can barely sail, and if you are unlucky, you will immediately break into two, especially the three medium-sized warships that are the lead ships are even more unlucky to get home- There are thirty giant crossbow arrows aimed at them, in such a short distance, the long-trained ** archers will not have the possibility of missing, the shipwreck is an ironclad fate, the difference is only the number of giant arrows in it!

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The sound of the giant crossbow hitting the target is not pleasant, it is just a burst of muffled sounds, but the scene it brings is extremely spectacular, like a ceremonial flower exploding, countless sawdust, corpses flying all over the sky, blood rushing to the sky, the tragically ravaged big food fleet was completely stunned in the first shot, countless people who fell into the water howled miserably loud to the sky, and the more than 20 forward warships that were lucky enough to survive were all panicked, not daring to advance, and squeezed on the sea without retreating, and it became a big mess.

"Hiss......"

Tari ibn Abi never thought that his forward fleet had been beaten to half-crippled without even touching the side of the Tang fleet, and forty-eight warships had attacked, and twenty-one had been sunk in one blow, and seven or eight were also wounded of varying severity, and the entire sea was full of the heads of the soldiers who had fallen into the water.

"Get on the arrow! Get on the arrow! ”

Taking advantage of the chaos that the Great Food Navy had not reacted to, the captains of the Datang ships shouted and ordered the loaders to quickly add crossbow arrows, but this time the addition was no longer a unified standard crossbow arrow, but nearly half of the special crossbow arrows equipped with fire oil bombs - the so-called special crossbow arrows are also simple to say, that is, the fire oil bombs are fixed on the crossbow arrows with special groove devices, because the fire oil bombs are flammable and explosive, when installing such crossbow arrows, you must be 120,000 careful and cautious, Fortunately, most of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are good at sailors, and they have all undergone a long period of strict training, and all of them are very sharp in their hands and feet.

"Herald: Spread out, surround on all sides, and kill!"

Tari ibn Abi was not an ordinary person in the end, although he was a little dazed by the head of the Tang fleet, but he soon came to his senses and did not dare to attack in a group charge, and instead ordered the whole army to disperse and attack, trying to use the advantage of his small and flexible ships to get close to the Datang giant ship, so as to start a broadside battle.

"Order: All ships attack freely, pay attention to the flanks and rear!"

Although the first battle had been won, Lin Hu did not dare to be careless at all, this time he saw that more than 70 warships in the rear of the Great Food Navy began to circulate, and the remnants of the Chinese army and the front army scattered rapidly, and he guessed what the intention of the Great Food Navy was, his face instantly became solemn, and he hurriedly waved his hand and gave an order in a loud voice.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

The change of formation of the Great Food Navy is certainly fast, but at this time, the front and middle parts are still within the range of the deadly attack of the Tang Fleet, and no matter how they turn, it is difficult to escape in a short time, and the archers of the ships who have loaded the crossbow arrows will not let go of this great opportunity to beat the water dogs, and they have unceremoniously pulled the thick hemp rope on the trigger, but listening to a scalp-numbing sound of breaking the air, more than 100 giant arrows roared out again.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Although the performance of the crossbow arrows of the Datang fleet is amazing, although the hit rate is not as high as the previous one because of the turn of the Great Food Navy, the results are not worse than the first attack, but listening to a muffled sound and explosion, more than a dozen huge fire balls rose up in the chaos, and more than a dozen small warships and two medium-sized warships were all on fire, so shocked that the big food sailors on each ship all roared, hurriedly trying to extinguish the fire, but they didn't expect that once the fire oil bomb ignited, The water cannot be extinguished at all, and what is even more terrible is that wherever the fire oil is stained, the fire will burn wherever it goes, and many officers and men who are anxious to extinguish the fire will fall into great bad luck when they land, not only fail to extinguish the fire, but set themselves on fire, and they will be burned to the bottom of the extremely painful ground, and the ship will run around, and the result is that more fires will be triggered, and the fire will be together, and the black smoke will bille, and the scene will really have the grandeur of covering the sky and the sun......
