"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
“.....”
If the Wo warships had not chosen to escape after discovering the abnormality, the Divine Armaments and Divine Crossbows on Yang Rui's warships would not have been able to effectively unleash their power. After all, Zhang He's ships were also entangled with them, and it was easy to cause accidental damage.
When the Wo warships retreated, it gave Yang Rui's warships enough space to launch long-range attacks. All the long-range weapons on the warships let loose and threw themselves into the attack.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft … "
“.....”
Although the Wo warships were relatively far away, and because of their smaller size, they were faster. However, due to the delay in changing their course, they were attacked by Yang Rui's warships. Five or six Wo warships were slowly sunk on the spot.
After that, the Wo warships sped up and gradually widened the distance between them and Yang Rui's warships. They were only temporarily safe when they were out of the range of the long-range weapons on the warships.
Even so, about half of the Wo warships were injured, and two or three of them were even more damaged. If they delayed any longer, they would be sunk by Yang Rui's warships.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
“.....”
The range and speed of Yang Rui's warships could not reach the enemy, but Zhang He and his men were full of anger. When Yang Rui's warships attacked, Zhang He had already seen the situation clearly. He organized the remaining half of the warships that could fight and followed the Wo warships.
The Wo warships that were more heavily injured slowed down a little. It did not take long for Zhang He's warships to catch up. Zhang He's men were filled with anger, and it did not take long for them to slaughter all the soldiers on the three Wo warships.
Of course, this was also thanks to the attack of Yang Rui's warships, which caused a lot of casualties on the Wo warships. Even though Zhang He's men were infantrymen, they still annihilated the enemy and captured the three warships.
However, at this time, the Wo warships in front of them were a little far away. When Yang Rui's warships arrived and chased after them with Zhang He's men, the Wo warships were basically out of range.
Yang Rui's warships and the Dragon Soul players' ships met up with Zhang He's men. Even though the warships were not as fast as the Wo warships, they still took advantage of the momentum and chased after them.
This chase created an opportunity. After the two groups of Wo warships in front of them fled toward Prince Beard Island for a while, they realized that Yang Rui's men had been chasing after them. Before they got close to the island, they fled in all directions.
Yang Rui's men had no choice but to chase after four or five Wo warships that were running toward the island. When they got close to the island, they found that a group of Wo warships seemed to be gathering on the shore. Yang Rui naturally would not let go of this opportunity and immediately ordered an attack.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
“.....”
The 20 or so warships that were gathering near Prince Beard Island were a little unprepared. Once again, they were faced with an overwhelming number of thick crossbow bolts. Almost half of them were immediately sunk in one wave, and the remaining ships began to flee in panic.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"Puff! Puff! Puff … "
“.....”
The Wo warships that were gathering were fleeing, and it was impossible for them to increase their speed immediately. After the second wave of crossbow bolts came, more than half of them were left behind and began to sink slowly.
In the end, only five or six Wo warships escaped. They turned around and fled along the coastline of the island to both sides. Including the four or five warships that escaped in front, they had already fled when they saw the opportunity.
When Yang Rui led all his men to Prince Beard Island, the situation they faced was similar to the previous day's sneak attack. Almost all the surrounding Wo warships had fled to various parts of the sea, and there was no way to chase after them for a while.
At the same time, because of the existence of the arrow towers, the defense on Prince Beard Island was still very tight. Zhang San, who was originally full of anger, wanted to attack the island, but he was stopped by Yang Rui.
Zhang San's men had suffered a lot in the previous battle. At this time, almost half of them were lost. Not to mention the morale of the men for the time being, their combat power had been greatly affected. If they attacked the island with this tired army, they might not be able to gain any advantage.
Of course, Yang Rui's troops and players could also participate in the attack on the island. However, the scattered Wo warships were still a problem. If Yang Rui's side attacked the island, the enemy's warships would come out to harass them.
After asking the Dragon Soul to allow some players to tentatively land on the island, Yang Rui waved his warships around the island and chose to retreat again.
Some players in the player group were so anxious that when they approached Prince Beard Island and found that the island was where the first battlefield of the Wo War was located, many players were eager to land on the island and fight.
Of course, Yang Rui could understand the mood of the players at this time. He also explained the situation of the Wo War's defense on the island and emphasized the use of the arrow towers given by the system.
However, Yang Rui's dissuasion didn't have much of an effect. This was especially true for the players who weren't from the major player organizations. Some of them were even rude and unreasonable toward Yang Rui and the Tracer Dragon Soul. Yang Rui had no choice but to let the players organize an attack on the island on a voluntary basis.
This was a last-minute attack and was not part of Yang Rui's plan. Even so, when some of the players attacked, Yang Rui strengthened his defenses to ensure the safety of his rear.
Needless to say, the result of the players attacking the island was obvious. After the dozens of players at the front were killed by the arrow towers, the players at the back decisively gave up on attacking and retreated to the ship without saying anything.
The players who landed on the island were defeated again. The morale of the Three Kingdoms troops was greatly affected, whether it was the NPCs or the players.
However, whether Zhang San's troops were defeated or the players who were not convinced were scared away, it was understandable. In a stalemate, there were victories and defeats for both sides. After this battle, at least most people had a general understanding of the Wo Nation.
Yang Rui ordered the troops to retreat again, and no one had any objections. At the same time, Yang Rui gathered Fang Lan, Zhang He, Feng Ji, the Dragon Soul, and Burning Snow on a warship and began to summarize the gains and losses of this battle.
"I failed at the start of the battle. Please punish me, Governor!"
When everyone arrived, Zhang He was the first to step out and take the initiative to apologize to Yang Rui.
In this battle, Zhang He's fleet had sunk a total of 30 ships and lost more than 25000 soldiers. If Yang Rui's warships could not arrive in time, Zhang He's troops would be wiped out!
