Before the information from the flying reconnaissance unit could be gathered, the situation had already occurred.
Yang Rui was not far in front of Zhang He's fleet when he saw the two exploration ships sent by Zhang He suddenly begin to tilt. The soldiers on the ships only had time to shout for a while before the two ships sank into the sea.
Yang Rui immediately understood the situation in front of him. The Japanese forces had finally begun to take action. Just as Yang Rui was about to turn around and warn Zhang He and the others, he saw that two ships in front of Zhang He's fleet had also begun to tilt!
At this time, there was no need for Yang Rui to say anything. Zhang He's fleet had also been attacked by the Japanese forces, and two ships had also sunk.
Of course, there were no weapons like submarines in the game background. There was only one explanation for this underwater attack — soldiers who could dive.
At this time, the flying reconnaissance unit on Yang Rui's right just happened to bring back the news. About 20 Japanese ships had gathered about 10 miles away and were rushing in the direction of Zhang He's fleet.
Not far behind, Zhang He's fleet began to panic due to the sudden sinking of the ships. The 20 or so ships gathered by the Japanese wanted to take advantage of the situation!
Perhaps the underwater units that launched the attack were sent by these ships. Otherwise, there would be no foothold for the soldiers nearby. Latest update!
In a hurry, Yang Rui immediately asked the accompanying flying reconnaissance unit to inform Fang Lan of the relevant situation and asked her to quickly come up to support Zhang He's fleet.
"All ships must not panic. Listen to my orders. Shoot arrows indiscriminately into the water around each ship!"
Yang Rui quickly rushed to the top of Zhang He's ship and heard Zhang He giving orders to his subordinates.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh …
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh …
"…"
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the other vassals obeyed Zhang He's orders. The archers among them raised their bows and shot randomly into the water around the ships, stirring up puffs of water. This was a scene Yang Rui had never seen before.
A series of random shots were not completely ineffective. Several ships were surrounded by a string of bubbles, followed by patches of dark red spreading out. Then, one after another, floating corpses emerged from the water.
At first glance, these floating corpses were all pierced by several or even more arrows. They couldn't be any more dead. The inexplicable sinking of several ships earlier must have been caused by these Wo soldiers.
The floating corpses were almost naked. Only some aquatic plants and other things were casually tied around their waists. Their skin was also dark brown, as if there was a layer of something on their skin. Latest update!
If one took a closer look, one would find that there was a large sac around each floating corpse. It seemed to be made from the stomach of a cow or a horse. It was bulging, and some of the floating corpses even had a corner of their mouths.
The soldiers on Zhang He's ships were first surprised when they saw this, and then they began to cheer. The culprits who caused the sinking of the ships had been found and killed. The remaining soldiers of the Three Kingdoms all felt that their hatred had been vented.
Although Yang Rui was far away, he also saw the relevant situation clearly. The sac-like things that floated out should be the special underwater breathing devices of the Japanese soldiers. It was no wonder that these Japanese soldiers could stay under the water for a long time to attack.
Just as Yang Rui was about to warn Zhang He that there were Japanese ships coming from the right, another aerial reconnaissance unit brought another piece of information. About ten miles to the left of Zhang He's fleet, there were also more than 20 Japanese ships gathered together, and they were also coming to attack Zhang He's fleet!
Ten miles above the sea was nothing. It could be covered in the blink of an eye. Although Fang Lan's turreted ship, Dragon Soul, and the other players had already approached in advance, it would take them at least a quarter of an hour to arrive.
Although it was only a short quarter of an hour, it could completely determine the outcome of a naval battle. Zhang He's fleet did not have many warships, and most of them were transport ships.
It was impossible for ships to have the attack power of Yang Rui's turreted ship. Zhang He's original plan was to engage in a boarding battle with the Japanese soldiers, or directly lead the troops to Prince Beard Island. The current situation was obviously very unfavorable for him.
"Hualala …"
Before Yang Rui could warn Zhang He about the relevant information, Zhang He's fleet, which was cheering and celebrating killing the enemy, had another problem. Another ship began to tilt without warning, and soon half of the ship sank.
Not all of the Japanese special soldiers had been killed! The concentrated arrow attack did not affect their attack on the ship at all!
Yang Rui, who was in the air, and Zhang He and Feng Ji, who were on the ship below, realized the problem almost at the same time. The soldiers in Zhang He's fleet were stunned for a moment. The successive accidents in front of them had exceeded their understanding.
"Hualala …"
"Boom …"
"…"
There was not only one ship that was attacked and sunk. Immediately after, two smaller ships of Zhang He's fleet slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
In the short period of time since the beginning, including the two scouting ships that sank before them, a total of seven ships of Zhang He's fleet were buried in the sea!
"Do not panic. Archers, continue to shoot. At the same time, steer the ships forward at full speed!"
Zhang He ordered loudly, waking up most of the soldiers who were still in a daze.
"Wait! Archers, continue to attack. All ships, turn around and retreat at full speed! "
At this time, Yang Rui had no choice but to show himself. Zhang He's intention might not be wrong. Even if the archers could not focus on the target, it was still a huge deterrent.
If the ship moved at full speed, it would reduce the chances of the Wo soldiers under the water to attack. If the ship kept moving, even if the Wo soldiers under the water wanted to destroy the ship, it would be much more difficult for them to do so.
However, Zhang He did not understand the current situation in the sea. At this time, there were two groups of Japanese ships on both sides of the fleet at full speed. If Zhang He's fleet continued to move forward, it would only increase the time it took to meet up with Fang Lan and Dragon Soul, giving the enemy a greater opportunity.
Under such circumstances, Yang Rui showed himself. When Zhang He saw Yang Rui appear from the sky, he was a little surprised. Then, he gave the order according to Yang Rui's intention.
When Zhang He's fleet had just collectively turned around, the shadows of two groups of Japanese ships appeared on both sides. Zhang He frowned when he saw the situation.
The fleet quickly turned around, forming small whirlpools. Under the constant attack of the archers, dark red flowers bloomed on the surface of the water again.
