Chapter 254 Favored by martial arts, Liu Rengui’s choice

As the ichthyosaur banner rose, all the soldiers of the Anbei Navy roared with excitement, and their military spirit boiled, gradually covering the sky between the canyons.

The war is at war and the counterattack begins!

In the first wave of collision, the formations of both armies were in chaos, leaving plenty of room for the Anbei Navy to break in.

More than fifty small warships with unique shapes were quickly launched. They were the latest products of the shipyard, red horse boats, sterns, and yachts from the Great Yan world.

The characteristic of this type of small boat is that it can carry a small number of people, but its hull is narrow and long, and it is highly maneuverable, making it easy to conflict with enemy ships.

The frigates in the Dingguo Navy tried to stop them, and rained down cannons, rocks, and arrows. With their dense coverage, they destroyed seven or eight yachts, causing many casualties.

It is said that because of the vastness of the Tianjiang River and its tributaries, Daxu has always admired dragon ships. However, due to the cost and difficulty of construction, the most deployed warships in the naval forces of various regions are still fighting ships.

For a fighting ship, a mid-length wall is installed on the side of the ship, with a tapper hole at the bottom; a shed is built as a parapet on the side five feet long, and the battle layout is arranged in a battle pattern without a belly or back. There are flags, flags, and golden drums at the front, rear, and left.

It can carry hundreds of personnel, deploy small and medium-sized dragon-shooting auxiliary crossbows, and has the ability to hunt ordinary dragon beasts on its own. Fighting ships are the main warships that are truly widely used.

Facing the encirclement and suppression by the fighting ships, the dozens of small boats of the Anbei Navy had little resistance, and they just relied on their speed to dodge and sprint.

In the end, after losing 20% ​​of the ships and soldiers, they finally entangled their respective targets, the dozen dragon ships that Dingguo relied on.

Many soldiers on fighting ships and dragon ships don't understand, what's the point?

One of our own dragon ships has at least a thousand sailors, and it also carries infantry, complete with bows, crossbows and armor, and abundant troops.

And a small boat like yours that I have never seen before, although it can run fast, can only carry dozens of soldiers at most, so what can it do?

Of course, if they had seen the fate of the flagship Three Hundred Elite Trial before, they might not have such thoughts.

Liu Rengui still adhered to the mainstream ideology of big ships and giant crossbows, but the enemy ships carried elite soldiers, which made him feel something was wrong.

Then he saw the Demon-Conquering Flag and the Ichthyosaurus Banner on the flagship opposite fluttering wildly, and dozens of small boats leaping in, and he became somewhat enlightened.

"Report, the flagship of the Third Squadron has fallen!"

"Report, the flagship of the Seventh Squadron has fallen..."

The efficiency of the Anbei Navy's small boat formation was so high that Liu Rengui had just issued the alert order, but bad news came one after another.

Each ship should prevent Anbei soldiers on small boats from clinging to the hull, avoid close combat, and try to take advantage of the large ships' giant crossbows.

No one would have known that the semaphore of this order would be remembered by the naval fleets of many countries in the future.

"Uncle Anbei is here in person!"

"Uncle Anbei is on the boat, and those dancing men are demon subduing soldiers!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, fish-dragon flags were raised on the highest points of four dragon boats in the distance.

Even though there was still a considerable degree of resistance on board the ships and shouts of killing continued, but according to the rules of naval engagement, these four dragon ships had already fallen by default.

These dragon ships are the flagships of each small formation, corresponding to the command of local battlefields, and their influence is not small.

Until the flag of Dingguo is raised again and the liaison officer confirms the recovery, the ships under the command are not allowed to obey its flag orders.

Usually at this time, the other dragon ships have to take over the command authority.

But at this time, except for the dragon ships a little further away, which could still send out flag orders and integrate the fleet, most of the dragon ships had nothing to do but take care of themselves.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining more than a hundred small and medium-sized ships of the Anbei Navy quickly followed up. Judging from the number of escort battleships near the Dingguo Dragon Ship Fleet, they could not stop them at all.

The attack launched by more than fifty fast boats against the dragon boat fleet destroyed most of the dragon crossbows, but only the remaining small part still posed a great threat.

In this wave of close encounters, more than 30 warships were hit, especially the main crossbows, which basically resulted in sinking.

The Anbei Navy inherited the regular fighting ships from Ruinan Jiedu, and it can be said that the entire army was wiped out.

Thousands of navy soldiers died unexpectedly. Among them, the demon-subduing soldiers, who had not suffered major casualties for a long time, were killed by dragon crossbows because they could not dodge.

You must know that the Demon-Subduing Army is currently at its peak of physical training at worst, and many ordinary Demon-Subduing Soldiers have accumulated Qi and blood, and have developed Houtian Qi.

But in front of the dragon-shooting crossbow that even the dragons of the three realms can't stop, relying solely on the mortal body can only lead to being shattered into pieces, and there is no way to save him.

However, the destruction of the Anbei Navy's main battleship was the finale of this battle. The Dingguo warships that had been scattered earlier suddenly slowed down in their approach to support.

They watched helplessly as the more than a hundred small boats were like dog-skin plasters plastered on friendly warships. Whether they were dragon ships or fighting ships, they could not escape the fate of being engaged in battle.

That long and narrow red horse boat can only carry a few soldiers after expansion. In normal wind and rain weather, any big wave in the Ningjiang River may overturn it.

But in full view of everyone, this little red horse boat actually managed to win a battleship by virtue of jumping combat...

Zhao Wu was born in a collateral line of the Zhao family of the Liang Kingdom. If he was cheeky, he could also be called a sibling of the Marquis of Liang, Zhao Qi.

Two months ago, he was just a small guard leader of a certain Liang Kingdom caravan. Due to resource and skill constraints, he barely reached the Body Forging Realm after his spiritual energy recovered.

After being exposed to the atmosphere of Anbei Buwu's preaching, Zhao Wu chose to stay. Later he learned that only the Demon Fu Army could get the best training, so he persevered in applying to join.

Originally, the Demon-Suppressing Army, as the most "pure" and most loyal private armed force to Zhou Bai, would generally not accept an outsider like him, especially since he was a bloodline sibling of the Marquis of Liang.

Failure is also an identity, and success is an identity. Out of some deep-seated considerations, Zhou Bai gave him a chance.

Zhao Wu did not waste this opportunity. He practiced innate skills and forged his body in seven days, and finally defeated a person at the bottom of the Demon-Subduing Army, and successfully joined the Demon-Subduing Army.

At this point, he has demonstrated his talent and has been able to teach the follow-up innate skills and obtain the most sufficient resources for training.

In two months, he not only pushed his martial arts cultivation to the middle stage of the Houtian realm, but also made military exploits and became a master.

This time, following Zhou Bai on board the ship to fight, it was logical for him to lead his men and act alone in the small boat Red Horse Boat.

Zhao Wu did not aim too high and went directly to attack the dragon ship and block the supporting escort battleships, which was also a great achievement. After all, they only had eleven people.

"Quick, quick, throw the hook, and the divine arm crossbow will shoot the archer above first!"

The specially built hooks firmly adhered to the Dingjun battleship, and then three hooks were thrown from the red horse boat to the railing of the battleship. Zhao Wu led the people to pick up the divine arm crossbow tied to his arm and shoot first.

Sergeant Ding reacted on the deck of the battleship.

"Seize the ship! Follow me, take cover with crossbows!" With a knife in one hand and a rope in the other, he stepped on the hull and jumped up.

Every time an archer tried to shoot them, he was immediately shot to death by the demon-subduing soldiers on the red horse boat. Anbei Kingdom did not have the manufacturing technology to shoot the dragon crossbow, but it did have the blueprint of the divine arm crossbow in the Jingwu Yaolue.

It is not difficult to make, but the difficult thing is that it has extremely high requirements on the person who uses it. Unless you have extraordinary energy and blood strength, you cannot carry it and use it.

The soldiers on this Dingjun battleship reacted too slowly, and most of them were still busy attacking the Anbei warships that were besieging the dragon ship.

Whether it is shooting poles, dragon-shooting crossbows, trebuchets and other equipment, or fully swinging the oars into the bottom cabin, a large number of manpower is required.

The sergeant Ding who was guarding the railing was killed by crossbow arrows, and then Zhao Wu and three others suddenly appeared on the deck, and the captain realized that something was wrong.

"Don't stop attacking. Come with me. The Northern bandits are so rampant. A few people dare to jump onto the ship!"

The captain of the Dingjun army gathered hundreds of people around him. They were the elite infantrymen accompanying the ship. They were originally going to land in Ruinan County to fight.

When the hundreds of elite soldiers gathered and approached, all the demon-subduing soldiers on the red horse boat were already standing beside Zhao Wu, forming a cone-shaped breakthrough formation.

"Good opportunity, rush in and kill the captain, then we can seize the ship!" Zhao Wu shouted angrily in a low voice, his energy and blood rising all over his body.

He really didn't expect such a good opportunity. He shouted to seize the ship before, but in fact, he only expected to destroy the dragon-shooting crossbow, burn the ship and cause chaos.

How should the eleven demon-subduing warriors who are familiar with the battle formation and cooperate with each other perform in the narrow space of the battleship deck?

Next, the Dingjun encounter on this battleship will be revealed.

On average, one is against ten, and the force is like a torpedo. Everywhere they pass is filled with corpses and broken bodies.

The Ding sergeants on the ship, like the demon soldiers, did not wear thick armor, and both sides were fighting in real hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, the martial arts strength and the coordination of the battle formation were perfectly displayed. Hundreds of naked armored soldiers could not stop a complete squad of demon-suppressing troops.

At this time, most of the soldiers on the fighting ship reacted and came to support one after another. Seeing that the fighting ship captain was about to run away, Zhao Wu's energy and blood burned, and his whole body's true energy ran through the soles of his feet.

"Death!" He suddenly jumped up, jumped several feet high, and rushed away.

It just happened that he missed a breath, and his true energy was almost exhausted, so he couldn't kill the target in time.

At this time, a mixed flow of luck descended from the sky and blessed him.

It is indeed a mixture, with the blessing of Anbei Universiade, the support of noble people, and the mysterious military luck...

On the flagship in the distance, Zhou Bai felt a slight change in his luck, as if he was trying to help someone.

Looking along the path of luck, he recognized at a glance that it was Zhao Wu who had taken care of him. He also discovered the strange and weak luck.

It is very closely connected with warriors. Could it be the great luck of martial arts?

Zhou Bai couldn't help but pay attention, and thought silently: It seems that the value of Zhao Wu is not only the initial connection with Liang Hou, but also his own martial arts talent.

Favored by martial arts, not to mention innate talent, even masters can get it.

Zhao Wu didn't know that he was blessed by luck, he only knew that a breath of true energy suddenly appeared in his empty Dantian.

The new force continued, and he took another step in the air to kill behind the battleship captain.

"die!"

With a simple and unpretentious sword, the blade actually exploded and cut off the captain's head in an instant.

"Those who surrender will avoid death! Put down your weapons quickly..."
