Chapter 410: Encounter at Sea
Sailing out to sea is a very boring thing.
This time, Lu Yao still used the tactics of the last time, sailing away from the coastline to avoid the detection of Chiyang City, and finally found behind the water army of Chiyang City to launch a surprise attack.
The unchanged scenery made Lu Yao's mood irritable. As time passed, he felt more and more urgent about the safety of Xanadu. The family's strong foundation weighed on his shoulders like a mountain.
"Lord Wang, there is an unknown fleet in the sea ahead." Gan Ning hurriedly came over at this time, with a very solemn expression.
Lu Yao's eyes lit up, and he secretly said that it was not good.
Although there are many players settled in Zhuya Prefecture, it is not as good as Middle-earth after all, and the business is still not developed. And his fleet sailed south along the coastline. There will never be caravans in this area. The fleet you encounter is clearly a fleet belonging to one of the player's forces.
Lu Yao hurriedly climbed to the top of the boat and looked up at Gan Ning's instructions. Sure enough, there were some small black dots on the sea level in the distance. However, the distance is too far to see how many ships the other side has.
"Lord Wang, why don't you withdraw temporarily?" Gan Ning's thoughtful proposal.
From his experience, he could see that the opposing fleet was clearly more mature than his own, and the steadiness of the fleet was still able to maintain stability on the rough seas, and there was no sign of a ship being pulled away. This is unmistakably bad news.
Originally, the Xanadu Water Army was newly built, and its combat power was not high. Now the other side is significantly stronger. If you start a war rashly, it will definitely be your own side that suffers.
"Report, they're speeding up." The sailors on the watchtower suddenly shouted loudly.
Gan Ning's face changed, and he hurriedly looked at it. Sure enough, the black spots at sea level have become significantly larger and are clearly picking up speed. To make matters worse, more and more black spots are appearing at sea level.
"Turn the rudder, hoist the sails, and dodge immediately." Gan Ning didn't care to ask Lu Yao's opinion, and shouted at the top of his voice.
The flagship ordered, and the entire fleet immediately raised its full sails, drew an arc on the sea, and quickly fled from the sea. Lu Yao didn't stop it. He knows the dangers of a layman leading an insider. At this time, you should trust Gan Ning's judgment.
On the other side, Blood Sword saw the opposite fleet on the building ship turn around and try to escape, and immediately laughed: "It must be his fleet." Made, I'm not satisfied with the leak I picked up last time, and now I still want to come? Lao Tzu will let you come, you can't leave. Chase, chase, catch up and destroy his fleet, everyone has a reward. ”
There will be brave men under the great reward.
The reward promised by the Blood Sword immediately boosted the morale of the sailors, and they instantly raised a large margin. The huge sails are raised, and the bitter sea breeze pushes the ship to chop the waves. Hundreds of warships cruised around, always guarding the 30 ships to maintain a certain speed.
As the saying goes, God is not beautiful.
The Chiyang City Navy was just tailwind, and its speed was obviously superior. At about two hours, the setting sun hung obliquely on the sea level, and the fleet ahead was already clearly visible. The two sides are less than five kilometers apart.
"Let's see if it's his fleet?" Blood Sword couldn't wait to shout loudly.
Lu Yao also did not play the banner of Xanadu City on this expedition. The purpose is not to hide people's eyes, but the initial establishment of the naval army, and he doesn't want to make a name for himself so quickly, for the sake of this moment. As long as it can be confused, it can be as long as it takes.
When the sun completely submerged into the sea level, the distance between the two sides was less than two kilometers. At this time, some players had sharp eyes and saw Lu Yao, who was also standing on the roof of the ship, and immediately shouted excitedly.
"It's him, Lone Boat. This is his fleet. ”
"Well done." Blood Sword laughed and slapped the fence excitedly.
This expedition was just perfect. Destroy Lu Yao's fleet on the sea. Isn't Xanadu a little girl stripped naked, at the mercy of others?
"Chase, prefix him after dark. Even if he fights at night, he can't be allowed to escape at night. The Blood Sword was excited, and immediately ordered.
In the afterglow, the fleets of both sides quickly closed the distance. Moyo only had 800 meters left, and the well-trained Zhang bow and arrow of the Chiyang City Navy had a brazier next to it, just waiting for it to enter the range and ignite it.
Water warfare, with rockets first. Either side will start with a rocket, striking the opponent first, and then taking advantage of the chaos to catch the gangs and engage in melee combat. It can be said that the side that launched the rocket first has a great advantage.
Seven hundred meters
Six hundred meters
Five hundred meters
……
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the blood sword could even clearly see the panic on the face of the sailor on the opposite side. He was even more satisfied. Although Xanadu City has a navy, it is obviously undertrained, where can it compare to its own well-trained 50,000 sailors.
"Prepare to ......" Blood Sword raised his right hand, intending to personally give the order to start a war, firing the first shot to encircle and suppress the Xanadu forces.
I don't want to be at this moment, the fleet in front of you suddenly turns in unison and rows out into a huge arc. On the direction side, what was originally a headwind quickly turned into a tailwind. The speed of the fleet increased sharply, and it distanced itself from the Chiyang City naval army.
"Turn the rudder, adjust, pull away." Gan Ning yelled at the top of his throat, anxiously urging the rookie trolls under him.
This is a decision he made, taking advantage of the fact that the other party is about to approach, his mind relaxes and immediately turns, so as to take advantage of the trend to distance himself and reverse the adverse factor of headwinds. It would be embarrassing if it was completed by the Chiyang City Navy because of the immaturity of the water army.
Fortunately, the hard training day and night is not without effect. Although there were some minor problems during the period, such as a rookie accidentally tripped over a cable, or a rookie accidentally got too nervous, not only failed to complete the task, but knocked down a colleague and did a bad favor. In short, the fleet turned smoothly and distanced itself from the Chiyang City naval army by the sea breeze.
"Lord, as long as it is night, if you want to fight or withdraw, you can follow us." Gan Ning saw that there was not much problem with the fleet, and his heart was suddenly relieved, and he even forgot his dignity and humility, and laughed casually with Lu Yao.
"How do you fight at night?" How could Lu Yao care about the relationship between respect and inferiority, and hurriedly asked. He only knows a little about water warfare, and he urgently needs the guidance of a famous general like Gan Ning who is proficient in water warfare.
Gan Ning looked up at the sky and said regretfully: "It's dark at night on the sea, but unfortunately the moonlight is good tonight, and it is difficult to raid." After a pause, he smiled and said: "Don't hide it from the prince, all the Jinfan thieves under the last general can see things in the dark." The moonlight is good, within a kilometer, the sky is not good, and you can also see clearly within three hundred meters. ”
Lu Yao understood.
The hidden feature that the Sail Thief can see at night is quite powerful. Water warfare is a matter of first hand. Whoever strikes first has an advantage. Approaching under the cover of night, a wave of rockets passed, and if you were lucky enough to burn the sails of the opposite ship, the other party would be equal to breaking both legs. Bad luck only burns on the deck, and it can be extinguished quickly, but that can also be a great blow to the morale of the opponent.
Lu Yao looked up at the sky, and the corners of his mouth curled.
God, it's getting dark.
