"Boom, boom, boom......" A series of explosions sounded, and as Cao Hong's general order was conveyed, all the artillery fire of the Sea Clan fleet was fired indiscriminately at the sea in front of Prince Tang Feng and the Sunset Kingdom fleet!

General Ma, who was standing beside Prince Tang Feng, was slightly stunned when he saw this, and said, "What is the Sea Clan Fleet going to do?

Prince Tang Feng frowned: "Why do I think this is a conspiracy by the Sea Clan Commander?"

General Ma shook his head and said, "Probably not...... In any case, they are now running for their lives! Stirring up this drainage column will not hinder our pursuit in any way. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Prince Tang Feng subconsciously raised his hand and touched his chin, as if talking to himself: "Perhaps, the Sea Clan Commander's move is not to really stop us from chasing them, but not to let us see some of their movements...... Because after these water columns are raised, even from the position where we are now, we can't see the slightest shadow of the sea clan fleet......

"I don't want us to see some of their movements?...... Prince Tang Feng said unintentionally, General Ma listened intentionally, only to see General Ma couldn't help but be shocked, his eyes suddenly revealed a sense of surprise, and he said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that the Sea Clan wants to ......?"

Before General Ma's words fell, he heard the soldiers on the lookout report and said, "Your Royal Highness, General! Two fleets of the Sea Clan, all composed of small ships, suddenly rushed out from behind the wall of water formed by the water column, and outflanked the two wings of our army on the left and the right!"

"Sure enough, it's indeed a 'ship tactic'...... Why didn't I find out earlier?" General Ma said with annoyance after listening to the soldier's report, patting his thigh.

"Ship tactics?" Prince Tang Feng was stunned when he heard this, and said in some surprise: "General Ma, what is this ship tactic you are talking about?"

General Ma did not immediately answer Prince Tang Feng's question, but directly instructed the soldier on the lookout: "Quickly pass the order, the battleships on the left and right flanks of the fleet will turn their guns and stop the approach of the enemy's fleet with all their firepower!"

When the soldier received the order, he immediately waved the small flag in his hand and conveyed General Ma's order.

After giving the order, General Ma frowned tightly and said to Prince Tang Feng: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this so-called 'warship tactic' was originally invented by Zhou Linggong, the Grand Governor of the Navy of our Tongtian Empire...... Naturally, some of the other tools equipped on the ship can also be used to achieve the true intent of the tactical commander......"

"Oh!" Prince Tang Feng said clearly: "Since this is a tactic invented by the Governor of Zhou, can we be sure that the one who is now commanding the Sea Clan Navy to fight against us is Cao Hong, the city lord of Wanghai City?"

General Ma nodded with some difficulty: "Although I am extremely reluctant to admit this matter, with all the signs at present, there is no doubt that the battle commander of the Sea Clan is indeed Cao Hong...... Because although the Sea Clan is good at naval warfare, they should not use such a typical 'ship tactic', except for our Tongtian Empire, the ships of other forces are generally used for landing operations, and will not be used in large-scale naval battles like the current one......"

"Report to the general!" The soldiers on the lookout interrupted General Ma's words again, and shouted eagerly: "Our plan to turn the muzzle of our guns to attack the Sea Clan's fleet has failed! The speed of the Sea Clan's left and right flanks is too fast, and it has already rushed over!"

"What?!" General Ma was shocked and said, "They actually ?...... so fast"

Speaking of this, General Ma ran two steps closely, came to the side of the ship, leaned on the railing of the ship and looked into the sea, and after a while raised his head and said in a hateful voice: "The commander of the enemy army, oh, that is, the city lord Cao Hong is indeed worthy of being the best among the young generation of generals of our Tongtian Empire! When he ordered the stern to attack our fleet, he must have observed the sea current first......

"Sea current?" Prince Tang Feng, who didn't know much about combat, asked, "What kind of substantial impact will this ordinary natural phenomenon have on the battle?"

General Ma raised his hand, pointed to the fleet of ships that were getting closer and closer in the distance on the left, and explained: "Although the ships are the fastest of all the ships, if you want to get close to us so quickly, you need some other conditions to be able to do it......"

"First of all, it's the direction and speed of our travel, let's chase them at full speed, their ships rush towards us at full speed, so that the time they get close to our fleet is greatly shortened!"

"Secondly, it is the current I just mentioned, and the current is now flowing in our direction very unfortunately! In other words, the enemy's shipwrights are flowing downstream! This has also increased the speed of the enemy's troops to a certain extent. ”

"In the end, it was the enemy's seemingly careless shells that didn't hit the target...... These shells fell in front of our fleet, and the stirred up water column formed a wall of water, blocking our view, so that we could not detect the layout and movements of the enemy's ships at the first time, and prepared sufficient preparation for their subsequent attacks......"

"That's why the Sea Clan's shipwives approached our warships at such an unbelievable speed, avoiding the coverage of our warships' gunfire...... Because of the angle, the guns standing on the battleship have no way to attack the targets on their side, which is the so-called 'dark under the lamp'......"

After listening to General Ma's explanation, Prince Tang Feng hurriedly said, "Then what are you hesitating about? Hurry up and come up with a solution! You can't watch our warships being attacked by the enemy's ships, right?"

General Ma's face was bitter, and he said helplessly: "What other way can I think of it? The disadvantage in speed has already determined that our warships cannot avoid the enemy's attack, and all we can do now is to use bows and arrows to fight back......"

"Then you hurry up and give the order!" Prince Tang Feng's voice was already a little out of tune.

General Ma shook his head: "I don't need to order this matter, the commanders of each ship will also order their sailors to do it...... However, my fear is that the bow and arrow attack will not cause any hindrance or casualties to the enemy at all......"

Just as General Ma had predicted, the warships, which had avoided the range of the artillery, launched a final charge towards Prince Tang Feng and the fleet of the Sunset Kingdom! And those warships on the edge of the left and right flanks, without waiting for further instructions from the flagship, could only obey the orders of their respective commanders and use bows and arrows to return fire at the ships of the Sea Clan! For a moment, dense arrows fell overwhelmingly, and from below, it seemed as if a rain of arrows had suddenly fallen......

However, for this kind of dense bow and arrow attack, the ship has an innate defensive advantage, because every ship has a large bow and arrow baffle!

This baffle is located on the heads of the four sailors, and it can be said that it completely seals the angle of the bow and arrow attack! Prince Tang Feng and the Sunset Kingdom shot fiercely, and in the end, they actually found that the enemy was unharmed, and this result directly knocked down their morale!

"Rockets!" shouted the soldiers on the lookouts of the ships: "The flagship has given the order, stop the ordinary bow and arrow attacks, and use the rockets to set fire to the enemy's ships!"

However, the reaction on their side was still a little slower, and the sound of "clang" and "clang" rang out continuously, and many warships had already crashed into their warships!

Although the ship is small, after all, it is also a ship, and it has undergone such a long distance of acceleration, under this collision, these warships on the left and right wings of Prince Tang Feng and the Sunset Kingdom fleet followed by a violent shaking, and the soldiers on the ship were shaken by this shaking, where can they still go to light their bows and arrows?

After such a hesitation, more ships crashed into their warships! You must know that the front ends of these ships were equipped with two iron conical spikes! The purpose of these two spikes was to make the ships plunge into the enemy's warships in the event of a collision!

It didn't take long for Prince Tang Feng and many ships on the left and right flanks of the Sunset Kingdom fleet to be hit by the Sea Clan's shipwives!

"Drop anchor, ignite!" collided with the enemy's warship, and the commanders of all the Sea Clan ships began to give the next battle order.

The purpose of these ships of the Sea Clan is to wait for their ships to collide with the enemy ship, embed in the hull of the enemy ship, throw down the iron anchor to make the enemy ship unable to move, and then ignite their own ship, so that the enemy ship will also be ignited, so that the enemy ship will also be ignited and ignited, so that you can sink an enemy warship at the cost of a few ships!

This is the most terrifying attack method of the so-called 'ship tactic'!

For them who have lived in the sea since childhood, as long as they jump into the sea, it is equivalent to safety, first, the enemy only cares about their own ships that have been on fire, and have no time to chase them, and secondly, they can dive into the water with a fierce son, and then surface when they swim to a safe place away from the battlefield, waiting for the rescue of their own ships, which is not a difficult thing for the sea tribe sailors with good water nature......
