Chapter 274 (1/2)
”Boom, boom...” a series of explosions sounded. As Cao Hong's order was conveyed, all the artillery fire of the sea fleet was aimed at Prince Tang Feng and the sea in front of the sunset Kingdom fleet! The water column aroused by the cannonball instantly formed a huge water wall between the two fleets!
Standing beside Prince Tang Feng, the general was stunned and said, ”what is the purpose of the sea fleet? Waste ammunition for no reason? ”
Prince Tang Feng frowned: ”how do I think this is a conspiracy of the navy commander?”
General Ma shook his head and said, ”I don't think so... Anyway, they are all running for their lives now! Arousing this drain column will not hinder our pursuit at all. ”
Prince Tang Feng subconsciously raised his hand and touched his chin, as if saying to himself: ”maybe, the commander of the Hai clan didn't really want to stop us from chasing them, but didn't want us to see some of their actions... Because after the water column jumped up, even from the position where we are now, There is no sign of the Sea Fleet at all... ”
”Don't want us to see some of their movements?” Prince Tang Feng said that he didn't mean it, but General Ma listened intently. He was shocked all over, and his eyes were filled with surprise. He said in a trembling voice: ”is it true that the sea people want to...”
Before General Ma's voice came down, he heard the soldiers on the watchtower report: ”Your Royal Highness, general! The two sea people's fleets, all made up of small boats, suddenly rushed out from behind the water wall made up of water columns and surrounded our two wings from left to right! ”
”Sure enough! It's really a strategy of ”fighting” Why didn't I find out earlier? ” After hearing the soldier's report, General Ma patted his thigh and said with chagrin.
”The tactics of the war?” Prince Tang Feng was surprised and said, ”General Ma, what are you talking about in the end?”
General Ma did not immediately answer Prince Tang Feng's question. Instead, he directly told the soldier on the lookout tower, ”send the order quickly. The warships on the left and right wings of the fleet will turn their guns and stop the enemy's fleet from approaching with all their firepower!”
The soldiers were ordered to wave the small flag in their hands and convey the command of General Ma.
After giving the order, General Ma frowned and said to Prince Tang Feng, ”Your Highness, this so-called” cucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucu! As the name suggests, it is a kind of combat way to attack the warships of the other side by taking advantage of the speed of the boat Naturally, some other tools equipped on the boat can be used to achieve the real intention of the tactical commander... ”
”Oh Prince Tang Feng said clearly: ”since this is the tactic invented by Governor Zhou, can we be sure that Cao Hong, the leader of Wanghai City, is the one who commands the navy of the sea people to fight against us now?”
General Ma nodded somewhat difficultly: ”although I'm very reluctant to admit this, the current signs show that Cao Hong is the battle commander of the sea people... Because although the sea people are good at sea warfare, they should not use such a typical” war technique ”. Except for our Tongtian Empire, the sea boats of other forces are not suitable, It's usually used for landing operations, not in large-scale naval battles like now... ”
”Report to the general!” The soldiers on the lookout tower interrupted General Ma's words again and cried out eagerly: ”our plan to turn the gun to attack the sea people's fleet has failed! The speed of the flotilla on the left and right wings of the Hai clan is too fast. They have already rushed over! ”
”What?” General Ma was surprised and said, ”how can they be so fast?”
Speaking of this, General Ma ran two steps, came to the side of the boat, leaned on the railing of the boat and looked into the sea. After a while, he raised his head and said in a hate voice: ”commander of the enemy, oh, Lord Cao Hong, is really the leader of the younger generation of generals of our Tongtian empire! He must have observed the current before ordering him to attack our fleet! ”
”Current?” Prince Tang Feng, who didn't know much about the battle, asked, ”what substantial impact will the current, a natural phenomenon, have on the battle?”
Ma general raised his hand, pointed to the boat fleet which was getting closer and closer on the left side, and explained: ”although the boat is the fastest of all the boats, it also needs some other conditions to get close to us so fast!...”
”First of all, it's the direction and speed of our two sides. We chase them at full speed, and their boats rush towards us at full speed. In this way, their time to get close to our fleet will be greatly shortened!”
