Chapter 1006 Landing
At the same time, above the sea, looking at the five crashed hot air balloons in the distance, there was no trace of surprise on Bai Tu's face.
Let alone flying five hot air balloons, even if he flew fifty hot air balloons, he would end up with the same fate in front of four pterosaur riders.
After the hot air balloon crashed, Bai Tu naturally saw the fire rising into the sky on the opposite side.
He could probably guess what was packed in the basket of the hot air balloon.
It's great now, I've completely fooled myself.
Bai Tu had no sympathy for him. What he was thinking about now was that this fire might burn down the villages and towns opposite him.
This is not a good thing for them.
Although it is a village, if it can be captured relatively completely, it will be a ready-made stronghold for them.
It would be a pity if it was destroyed by fire.
But Bai Tu didn't dwell too much, after all, the battle in front of him wasn't over yet.
After sinking all the enemy ships that came up from the opposite side, their big Zhou speedboats were reorganized on both sides, protecting the two main flagships in the center and approaching the opposite harbor. .
At this moment, they had obviously noticed the thirty-meter-class ship opposite.
That should be the main flagship on the opposite side. There are also two escort ships on both sides that should be up to fifteen meters in size according to visual inspection.
In this regard, the Great Zhou fleet, which had completely taken the lead through a round of confrontation, did not take the opponent seriously at all.
Maintaining their formation, the Great Zhou fleet advanced steadily without any rush.
On the opposite side, due to the fire at the rear city gate, it was now in complete chaos, and everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Faced with this situation, Bai Tu would not be polite to them. As soon as he entered the attack range of the three-bow bed crossbow, he immediately ordered the main flagship to fire.
The bigger the ship is, the higher the hit rate of the three-bow bed crossbow will be, and the easier it will be to shoot.
During this period, as the party being attacked, they were in a dilemma. Coupled with the fire from behind and the constant shouts from the residents, the soldiers lost their will to fight.
He wanted to surrender, but he was too far away and the other party didn't even know.
With no other choice, the soldiers on the ship simply jumped off the ship, broke away from the battle, and swam towards the shore.
[The opponent seems to have lost the will to fight...]
Bai Tu, who was observing the whole process through the 'Eye of Insight', naturally noticed this situation at the first time.
This made him change his original plan.
With an order, he directly signaled the two main flagships to stop attacking, and then ordered the twelve clippers to approach in an encircling formation.
A good commander must not only win the war, but also win it beautifully.
Winning beautifully does not only mean causing the maximum casualties to the opponent with the minimum loss, but also includes obtaining enough loot.
After all, you won the battle but turned the other side into a pile of ruins. Then the benefits they gained from this victory will be greatly reduced, and even after the war, it will become theirs. burden.
Not to mention the two fifteen-meter-class sea-going ships opposite, the thirty-meter-class ship took a lot of manpower and material resources to build.
If it can be taken as a trophy and relatively intact, that is undoubtedly a good thing.
After that, even if it is used as an ordinary sea transport ship, it will be quite good.
The other side must have really given up resistance. The ship was not far from the harbor now, and the soldiers were now abandoning the ship and jumping into the sea, swimming towards the shore as quickly as possible. This kind of fire started by kerosene cannot be extinguished easily. The wives and children of many of the soldiers are still in the villages and towns. Where can they stay now?
This allowed Bai Tu and the others to easily complete the occupation of those ships.
After all, this was the first naval battle since the formation of the Great Zhou Navy. As a group of novices in naval warfare, including Bai Tu, the soldiers were actually very nervous.
Unexpectedly, the whole process was much smoother than they expected.
But Bai Tu also knew in his heart that this was inseparable from their dominance in ship equipment.
From the start of the fight to now, except for the thirty-meter-class ship on the opposite side, which looked pretty good, none of the other ships could catch his eye. They were not as good as the ships of the Zhou Navy. The boat is incomparable at all. It is at the level of a fishing boat at best, right?
In fact, Bai Tu was right. Those ships were indeed modified from fishing boats.
Although it is a coastal country, if it has never fought any naval battles, then in terms of combat experience, it is essentially the same as their Great Zhou Navy.
"Lieutenant Colonel, do you want the troops to land?"
"No hurry yet."
While speaking, Bai Tu first observed with his 'Eye of Insight' Islanders putting out fires in the distance.
"Prioritize the coastal area and control all ships."
At the harbor, in addition to the previous large ships, there are still many small fishing boats.
After all, their identities are special and they have a hostile relationship with each other. The first thing Bai Tu needs to ensure now is that everything is foolproof.
As mentioned before, the fire caused by kerosene can only be extinguished by covering it with a large amount of sand.
But the burning area is so wide, the other side is busy.
During this period, they just gave the Zhou navy room to operate and successfully occupied an entire port.
After ensuring that the entire port area was safe, Bai Tu began to direct their large forces to land.
Navy soldiers are not only good at naval battles. The moment they complete the landing, they transform into marines one by one.
These naval soldiers themselves were selected from the army, and they are not ambiguous at all now.
The troops quickly formed an array at the port. Facing the islanders who were putting out the fire in the distance, they did not go up to help.
In this situation, approaching rashly is also risky for them.
At the same time, if we really talk about this matter, if they don't add fuel to the enemy's fire now, they have already done a great favor.
The islanders on the opposite side undoubtedly noticed the actions of Da Zhou's troops. When they saw that they were not approaching, they couldn't care less and continued to put out the fire.
After all, from the moment they abandoned the ship and jumped into the sea, they had very clearly given up the fight.
Everyone was almost exhausted before they finally put out the fire completely.
Seeing this, Bai Tu raised his hand and signaled the troops to advance.
This move made the islanders who had just put out the fire quickly become nervous.
The soldiers in front of me looked unusual in their equipment, and I was afraid that they would go on a killing spree in the next second.
For this situation, Bai Tu had already expected it, and he just heard him shout loudly...
"We are troops from the Great Zhou Dynasty! Your ships broke in before We have entered the sea area of Dzhou, so we are here. We have no intention of killing indiscriminately, otherwise we would have done it just now. You should know this in your heart. Now all put down your weapons and surrender!"< br>
