Take charge of Ascension

280 Sea Battle
The scorching sun was in the sky, and the light was scorching hot. When it swayed to the earth, it brought not only warmth, but also a little hot feeling.

The sea is different. Under the sparkling light, not only can part of the sunlight be reflected back, but also part of it can be absorbed, so that the temperature will not be so high and the weather will not be so hot.

Moreover, on the surface of the sea, there is a gentle breeze, and there will be a cool feeling, which makes people feel very comfortable. Of course, it would be even better if there is no fishy and salty smell blowing towards the face.

At the bow, Zhao Ji sat cross-legged, meditating facing the sunlight, practicing cultivation, the feeling was really good, the bottleneck of the fifth level of innate seemed to be ready to move.

When he was gradually entering the state, the sound of fighting came from the distant sea, accompanied by the sharp whistling sound of sharp arrows, startled Zhao Ji.

"what happened?"

Surprised from the state, Zhao Ji held his breath, stood up, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw the fiery scene.

About two or three miles ahead, there were five sea ships fighting around three sea ships. The battle was quite fierce, and the three sea ships surrounded in the middle were basically at a disadvantage.

The three sea-going ships looked quite like merchant ships, but they were not small in size, and their load capacity should not be weak, but they didn't have any offensive weapons.

The five sea-going ships on the outskirts are much smaller than the three merchant ships, but their combat effectiveness is much stronger. On the sides of the ships, there are many offensive weapons installed.

When Zhao Ji stared into the distance, Liu He and Fang Shiliang should have also noticed the movement ahead, quietly came to Zhao Ji's side, and looked forward together.

"I don't know which pirate fleet this is. It's quite courageous to dare to plunder the caravan within the sea area of ​​​​the country."

After looking at it and identifying the specific things that happened, Liu or snorted coldly, and said murderously.

As the commander of a fleet, Liu He's responsibility is not only to patrol Wu's sea area, but also to severely crack down on pirates who make trouble.

When Fang Shiliang saw the scene in front of him, his complexion also became unsightly. As a civil servant whose mission is to help the world, Fang Shiliang's greatest wish is to hope that the world can be brought into order.

This kind of pirate rampant situation is far from the great order of the world, which made Fang Shiliang sullen and not so polite in his mouth.

"These pirates deserve to be unlucky too. They met General Liu. This time, they should be wiped out."

"Of course, since we have met, how can we turn a blind eye."

Taking a deep look at Fang Shiliang, Liu Or smiled faintly and said arrogantly.

As a powerful general in the navy, Liu Or is quite confident in naval battles. He is sure to win a battle with an equally elite fleet, let alone a group of pirates.

"Pass down the order, get ready, and we must destroy the pirate team in front."

Liu or ordered to the adjutant beside him.

Wu's navy already had an extremely complete combat system. When a flag was waved on the main battleship, the formation of several seagoing ships in the rear immediately changed.

The ten sea boats picked up their speed in an instant, galloping forward at a galloping speed, and the distance between them and the pirates was instantly shortened.

At the beginning, there was a distance of a little over three miles. When the two sides approached and got within the range of Li Xu, the pirate fleet also spotted Liu He's fleet.

The fleet of the official imperial court, ten huge sea ships lined up in a row, the wild scene when they galloped together, the overwhelming momentum made all the pirates on the pirate ship tremble with fear.

Against ordinary caravans with little combat effectiveness, the pirate fleet can be very powerful, but it is obviously not the same as the real court fleet.

When the pirate fleet ran, it was extremely fast, like a sharp arrow, cutting a stream of water and rushing forward, but the speed of the imperial fleet was much faster.

Perhaps because of the better performance, the ten huge sea ships bit tightly behind the pirate fleet at a sprinting speed, and the distance between the two sides kept getting closer.

When the distance between the two sides approached within a hundred feet, Liu Or's eyes became sharper for a moment, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, and he shouted: "Get ready for the trebuchet, get ready for the crossbow arrow to fire."

Once the order was issued, all the ten seagoing ships were ready, and the sound of stringing was heard very slightly.

With a wave of the command flag in Liu Or's hand, huge stones drew a parabola in the air and smashed towards the pirate ship that was still running wildly ahead.

There are not only huge stones, but also extremely thick arrows, which shoot towards the pirate ship in front at a faster speed than the projection of the huge stone.

Although the five pirate ships were not small in size, they were so inconspicuous on the vast sea. When the huge stones fell, many of them missed and fell into the sea water, only splashing. There were waves.

With the sound of "plop", many huge boulders fell into the water, splashing countless water, doing useless work, but there were also a few boulders that happened to hit the pirate ship.

The huge stone, after being thrown, is thrown down, and the force is very huge. When it falls on the pirate ship, it can immediately smash a hole in the ship's plank, and cause the ship to shake violently.

Fortunately, the accuracy of the trebuchet was not too high, otherwise, dozens of boulders would fall together and hit the five pirate ships. After that, there was no need to continue to do anything, and the five pirate ships would probably be silent.

In addition to the trebuchet, the crossbow arrows are also very powerful. The thick and large arrows shot away in a burst of sharp sound, at an extremely fast speed, in a flash. , to the rear of the five pirate ships.

The accuracy of crossbow arrows is better than that of trebuchets. The pirates who were busy on the pirate ship did not hide in the cabin, and many of them were shot by crossbow arrows. They were taken into the sea while screaming, or were directly nailed to death.

Crossbow arrows are very lethal to people, but compared with trebuchets, they are much worse for heavy damage to sea ships.

After being hit by a storm like a storm, the five pirate ships were stunned for a while. Fortunately, there were still capable people on board the pirate ships, who were able to command them well and immediately organized a counterattack.

The attacking weapons on the pirate ship were not as good as those of Liu He's fleet, and the range was not as far. However, when the distance between the two sides got closer, those successive attacks could still cause some trouble to the imperial fleet.
