"Start up and get on!"

Seeing that the fleets of both sides were about to contact, Muaweiye began to give various orders with excitement.

For the soldiers of the Great Food Empire, once the ships from both sides approach, it is time to let people from other countries see their courage.

"Swoosh swish swish!"

Before Mu Aweiye's voice could be heard, a thick crossbow arrow passed by him, and strung the two soldiers who were carrying swords and ready to rush to the other ships on the wooden board at any time.

Then, with a scream, the two of them were directly taken out of the deck by thick crossbow arrows and fell into the water.

It is obvious that the lives of these two soldiers have been completely lost.

This scared Muaweiye.

How did Tang Jun do this?

Your own ship is at least one hundred steps away from the other party. Normally, it is impossible for the bows and arrows on the sea to shoot so far.

Not to mention arrows as thick as children's arms, they shouldn't appear on their side.

"Be careful, General!"

Before Mu Aweiye could figure out this problem, a soldier who was more aware of the Qu stood in front of him with a giant shield, blocking the arrows that might come again for him.

However, there were not many such giant shields on the ships of the Dashi Empire.

Because on the sea, the wind and waves are relatively strong.

The ship kept shaking, and the shooting accuracy was very poor.

Therefore, in the eyes of the cannibals, there is very little time for bows and arrows to shoot in naval battles, and everyone is basically too lazy to do such useless work.

However, when we came into contact with the Tang Dynasty, we found that the past practices seemed to be inapplicable.

"Swoosh swish swish!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Even with a giant shield blocking it in front, Muaweiye felt the threat brought by the other party's arrows to his side.

There were screams coming from time to time around.

Although the screams were not particularly dense, the experienced Muaweiye knew that he had lost very few people.

But when two armies fight, morale is very important.

Although the staff lost are very small, it has a great impact on morale.

The feeling of someone else hitting you, but you can't fight back is really bad.

This naval battle that the great cannibal encountered before was completely different.

"Hasan, how did Tangren shoot these things? Why did they have such a great effect at such a distance?"

Muaweiye looked at Hasan next to him with a serious expression.

The situation today is a bit different from what he thought.

"I...I'm not sure, but I heard that there is a powerful weapon to defend the city called the bed crossbow in the Tang Dynasty.

As long as the crossbow is installed on the city wall, even if the enemy is still hundreds of steps away, you can still shoot.

But I heard that this kind of crossbow is very bulky and has very low shooting efficiency. I don’t know how they installed it on the boat.”

As a merchant who has a good understanding of the Tang Dynasty in the Dashi Empire, Hassan obviously knows more than just a commercial point.

"Let the soldiers work harder, rush over, and then lean on it, and then judge the outcome by sword."

Muaweiye felt a little relieved when he saw that the ship counted was very close through the gap of the giant shield.

Fortunately, although it was not good to go to the army, the losses were still very limited.

...

"Qiwa, these ships from the Great Food Empire still look quite brave. Although they were attacked by our crossbow, they had no intention of retreating at all."

Zhou Erfu, who was standing on the "Nanyang Invincible", looked ahead calmly.

The soldiers on the deck have made all preparations, but at this time, he doesn't need to do anything like him.

Just grasp the time point and order the crossbow arrows to be fired.

Although the improved crossbow has become much lighter and has improved its launch efficiency, it is still relatively bulky and has a lower efficiency.

So if you really want to kill someone, you still have to look at the crossbow.

The Tang Dynasty is not short of money now, and steel production is rising again.

Therefore, there are many crossbows installed on both sides of the deck of this special warship.

The crossbow with a crossbow box is used to change the crossbow box, and the shooting efficiency is very high.

You can shoot out all the crossbow arrows in the entire box in just a short time.

"The Cannibals are a little different from those of other vassal states. Although the land they live in is not very fertile, due to the special incentive system, they have very different military systems and beliefs, which are difficult to deal with.

It is impossible for them to retreat if the little blow brought to them by the bed crossbow.

However, they can quickly give it a try on the smell of the crossbow.

Their deck is full of people, and it is best for crossbows to exert their power."

Yang Qiwa took a deep breath and made the final preparations for the battle.

"Well, this special crossbow is indeed a rare weapon for sea combat.

Even if the accuracy has decreased, as long as there are enough crossbow arrows, the lethality will be very high."

Zhou Erfu obviously knew the power of the crossbow, and he murmured a second of silence for the people from the Great Food Empire.

"General, the Tang people's crossbow arrow has stopped."

The big cannibal was finally relieved after being hit by the crossbow.

"Okay! Everyone is ready to fight. After rushing to the Tang people's ship, don't leave any armor, don't live!"

Muaweiye wanted to double the aggrieved moment just now.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Accompanied by Muaweiye's order, the cannibals immediately waved the big sword in their hands and prepared to fight.

However, before they were happy, a gust of wind whistling by, and everyone was covered with dark shadows.

Then there were screams one after another.

"Swoosh swish swish!"

"Ahhhh!"

A crossbow arrow shot at the cannibal ship like a rainstorm.

Although many of them shot into the hull and a group of them shot into the air, a large number of crossbow arrows were still shot on the deck.

In this way, those big food soldiers who have almost no protection ability will be in trouble immediately.

Armor is a rare object for the navy.

On the one hand, things like this are too easy to rust and are not practical at sea.

On the other hand, maritime combat is often fought in relatively narrow spaces, which requires higher physical flexibility.

Therefore, whether it is the Datang navy or the Dashi Empire, except for a very few generals, they almost never wear armor.

With a distance of dozens of steps, the penetration of the crossbow is completely fine.

In an instant, the big cannibal fell on the deck in pieces, his face full of disbelief.

Although Muaweiye escaped, he could not believe the scene in front of him.

how so?

Why did the Tang people’s tactics completely different from what they imagined?
