Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Chapter 1004 Locking the Target

The report from the pterosaur riders was like a shot of adrenaline for Bai Tu, who had been living an extremely boring life these days and had even become a little numb mentally. It quickly cheered him up.

"Have you seen the city on the opposite side? What size is it?"

"Report to the colonel, I have seen it, but it is more like a relatively large village than a city, and the outer protective wall is not made of stone, but wood."

It must be said that this situation was a bit beyond Bai Tu's expectations.

According to his idea, a force that has the strength to build that kind of sea ship should have a decent city at the very least.

As a result, there is only a village? The outer protective wall is still made of wood?

This surprised Bai Tu.

Of course, this cannot directly conclude that the opponent is not strong enough. It may also be caused by the lack of stone on the island.

"How far is it? How long does it take for the fleet to get there?"

The flying speed of the pterosaur is not at the same level as the sailing speed of the fleet.

After working together for some time, the pterosaur rider had a rough idea of ​​the fleet's moving speed. After a rough estimate, he quickly gave the answer...

"It will take about nine to eleven hours for the fleet to get there."

There are many factors affecting sailing on the sea.

If there is a tailwind, they will put down the sails and sail with the wind, and the moving efficiency will become very high.

On the contrary, if there is a headwind, they can only put down the sails and row the boat by manpower, which is inefficient.

These are just two general situations. The specific situation is related to the size of the wind, the specific wind direction and other factors. It is not easy to explain in a few words. There may be an error of two or three hours in the middle, which is really not a casual talk.

After understanding the situation, Bai Tu pondered for a moment and then ordered...

"Pass my order to send a fast ship back and bring the second fleet over!"

"Yes!"

Obviously, Bai Tu did not intend to take risks. He wanted to directly gather all the naval forces of their Great Zhou and not allow any mistakes in the next battle.

With the position confirmed, the ships of the Great Zhou could travel at full speed, which improved their mobility efficiency.

Especially when the fast ships returned, they did not need to match the sailing speed of the large ships, which was really faster.

However, even so, it still took a full seven days for the second fleet to arrive successfully and successfully joined the first fleet.

Fortunately, when the first fleet set out, it was mainly for reconnaissance missions, and it was mentally prepared for a long time at sea. With a premise of bringing fewer soldiers, it loaded enough supplies on the ship, otherwise this wave would not be able to bear such a wait.

During this period, in order to ensure that they would not be discovered by the other side, Bai Tu also specially asked the first fleet to withdraw half a day's journey, and in disguised form, it joined the second fleet in advance.

After that, after letting the second fleet, which had just arrived, take a day of rest and adjust its status, on the night of the second day, they took advantage of the night and approached the enemy's seaport.

At the same time, on the island...

This should have been an ordinary day, but with the appearance of ships at the end of the sea level, this day began to become extraordinary.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"

At that moment, the alarm bell quickly spread throughout the entire harbor.

As early as the encounter with the fleet of Da Zhou, the emperor here had already ordered to strengthen the patrol and vigilance of the maritime border.

However, after all, it has been a while since then, and the border patrol troops are inevitably slack.

Now outside the border, the sudden appearance of an unknown fleet has immediately plunged the entire island into chaos.

At this moment, it can be clearly seen that many soldiers are wearing equipment while rolling and crawling towards their warships docked in the harbor. It can be seen how chaotic the scene is.

In this process, Bai Tu will not be polite to them.

Listening to the urgent alarm coming from the distant harbor, orders are constantly issued from Bai Tu.

After receiving the order, the speedboats rushed to the harbor. If there was a chance, they would not give the other fleet a chance to leave the harbor, and directly crush them to death in the harbor. Bai Tu would never be polite to them!

But it must be said that as a force that lives on the sea, the navy on the other side is indeed quite capable.

In such an emergency, they actually controlled the speedboats to rush out urgently and intercept their fleet.

Seeing this scene, Bai Tu was not in a hurry to rush to the harbor.

Under the premise that the other party had already reacted, forcing the harbor would not be of much advantage to them.

He simply changed the plan and directly signaled the messenger to send a signal with the sound of the horn.

After receiving the signal, the speedboats that were still charging a second ago quickly changed the mode and dispersed to the two wings of their fleet formation, leaving the empty space in the middle.

In this process, as the main flagships of the first and second fleets, the two large ships had already turned their 60-meter-long hulls to the side.

Indeed, compared with the clippers, the two large ships are huge and clumsy in movement, but large ships also have the advantage of being large ships, and that is the firepower advantage that the clippers do not have at all!

At this moment, only a signal was heard, accompanied by a series of sharp air-breaking sounds, and a whole row of giant crossbows burst out at the same time, sweeping towards the enemy ships that were intercepting them.

It was a three-bow crossbow! The three-bow crossbow fired! !

The existence of the three-bow crossbow itself is equivalent to a cannon in the cold weapon era. It is just right to be carried on these large ships.

The battle at this time was even bigger than any time they used the three-bow crossbow before the Great Zhou!

The powerful giant crossbow arrows penetrated the wooden hull on the opposite side at the moment of hitting the target. How could the destructive power be blocked by wooden boards?

The naval battle mode of the opposite side was obviously still in the area of ​​boarding battle close to the target, and had never seen this kind of crossbow weapon.

Two of the enemy's speedboats were hit by multiple giant crossbow arrows in succession and were sunk on the spot!

However, the overall hit rate of the three-bow crossbow was still a little bit off. During this process, several enemy speedboats quickly approached their two main flagships!

The main flagships were relatively slow in action, and Bai Tu naturally didn't want the enemy to get close easily.

With another horn sound, the three-bow crossbows deployed on the main flagship immediately stopped firing. At the same time, the Da Zhou speedboats on both sides seemed to have heard the charge horn, and they all charged at full speed, launching a cross-flanking attack on the enemy speedboat in the middle!
