After this kind of crossbow arrow hits the prey, it will be firmly nailed to the prey's body.

Then those large marine creatures will float on the sea with the ship for a long time, and then be cooked to death.

This kind of crossbow is very familiar to the Commons family who have been living at sea all year round. They are not only familiar with it but also use it frequently.

But they didn't use it to hunt whales, but to hunt merchant ships on the west coast.

Once you are shot, the next step is to fight.

Obviously, this is what the Yong Ye Army Leader will do next.

Compared with the large ships of the Commons family, the large ships led by the Yongye Army have no advantages in draft and collision resistance.

But compared to the loading capacity, there is no comparison between the two. The Yongye Army leader ship is three to five times that of the Commons family battleship, just a lot more.

What made the sailors of the Commons family even more dizzy was that they had previously been chasing the main force retreating from Brother Port led by the Eternal Night Army.

In other words, the Yongye Army's lead ship is now carrying their main army.

Under the setting sun, all that shone on the ship was the cold light unique to heavy armor.

Even the brave sailors of the Commons family had no confidence in the close combat with heavy armored infantry.

This is totally cheating.

For people like the Commons family who live on the water all year round, not to mention heavy armor, even leather armor is not much.

Because once you fall into the water, these unnecessary burdens will be fatal.

Those who can buy themselves a suit of sharkskin leather armor are all junior officers with some status. Most sailors go into battle with bare arms.

If everyone is in the same situation, there is no such thing as fairness or unfairness.

But once one side wears heavy armor and boards a warship for a follow-up battle, it will be a disaster for the other side.

From top to bottom, the Commons family battleship was shouting frantically, "Cut the rope, cut the rope, and we must not let them get closer."

Some experienced old sailors had already acted spontaneously, pulling on the rope, sliding down with their swords in their teeth, and slashing wildly at the whale hunting crossbow rope.

The whale-hunting crossbow rope shot from the Yongye Army's leader ship is only as thick as two thumbs put together and does not look very strong. The sharp swords polished by those elite veterans fell on it, not to mention cutting it off by the roots.

After several cuts, not even a single thread was broken.

On the one hand, it was difficult for them to use their strength while they were half-suspended in mid-air, but the other reason was that it was not difficult for the Yongye Army to lead such a rope.

These ropes were specially made by the leader of the Yongye Army, and were woven from the silk of the hunting bird spider, which is a specialty in his territory.

In terms of toughness, it is not much better than steel wire ropes, and it also has toughness that steel wire ropes do not have.

"Burn with fire, burn with fire!" Some smart sailors from the Commons family thought of a new way and replaced their sharp blades with torches.

Some poured kerosene directly onto the whale hunting crossbow rope.

However, the expected spread did not occur. Even after pouring kerosene on it, most of what burned was kerosene. The rope made of bird-hunting spider silk only started to turn red like a steel wire, but there was no sign of breaking or burning.

The ignition point of this kind of rope is unimaginably high. It is difficult for ordinary flames to ignite them, which is somewhat contrary to ordinary physical properties.

This characteristic is naturally not natural, but is cultivated by the leader of the Yongye Army.

As mentioned before, once anything is related to magic energy, it will have characteristics that break the common sense.

The hunting bird spiders bred on a large scale by the Yong Ye Army Leader are, strictly speaking, considered a type of Warcraft. However, due to artificial selection factors, their abilities are not reflected in themselves, but in the spider silk they produce.

.

Improved toughness is just the icing on the cake.

This super fire resistance is what really makes them outstanding, making their practicality and application range wider.

Of course, this kind of ignition point is only relative. No matter how the bird spider silk changes, it cannot change the nature of biological materials. It cannot have the same ignition point as steel. After being calcined by fire for a period of time, it will still become relatively soft.

They can still be cut off with an ax or a machete.

But the problem is that the Yongye military leader cannot give them so much reaction time. Just when they are dealing with the whale hunting crossbow rope nailed to the battleship, more whale hunting crossbows have been fired over, and the distance between the two sides is also increasing.

Keep pulling closer.

In addition to the whale hunting crossbow, there are more hook ropes hooked on the Commons family battleship.

Countless assault warships led by the Yongye Army had already shuttled over like swimming fish, closely leaning against the Commons family warship, and started a ship-grabbing battle.

In the battlefield deliberately created by the leader of the Yongye Army, those small boats were actually more useful than the big ships.

Unable to move, these large warships became unmitigated targets.

As the flagship of the Commons family, the dragon-wreck battleship naturally received targeted treatment from the leader of the Yongye Army, with two large ships heading towards it.

One of them is the Panshi as the flagship of the Eternal Night Army, or more accurately, the Panshi No. 1, and the one assisting it is the Explorer.

What's more interesting is.

The energy shield of the Dragon Skeleton Battleship is not triggered indiscriminately, at least it cannot react to the arrow rain from the Yong Ye Army Leader.

But for the Whale Hunting Crossbow, the moment it hits, an energy shield will appear, which will directly bounce it away.

Obviously, this difference should be whether it will cause relatively serious damage to the body of the dragon battleship or not. This energy shield is most likely not man-made, but passively triggered.

After realizing that the Whale Hunting Crossbow was ineffective against it, the Yongye Army Leader decisively changed his strategy and directly used a trebuchet to throw the huge anchor towards the dragon-wrapped battleship.

This thing will not cause piercing damage to the body of the dragon battleship. It depends on whether you can still bounce it.

Facts have proved that Commander Yong Ye’s guess was not wrong.

Before the anchor made actual contact with the dragon warship, the energy shield did not appear. It was not until the solid anchor was hit hard that the energy shield appeared belatedly, resisting most of the impact of the anchor.

, but the anchor was still successfully hung on the dragon battleship.

After more than a dozen attempts, the four anchors of the Panshi 1 and the Explorer were hung on the dragon battleship at the same time.

Even if the dragon carcass battleship is a strong dragon crossing the river, it is still a little unable to move at this moment.

While being held back by two large ships, a large number of assault warships swarmed up.

The contrast between the two sides is like an elephant and a hyena.

Normally, an elephant could trample several hyenas to death with just a slight lift of its foot. The size difference between the two is too big.

But the problem is that now the elephant has its four legs tied up, and there are groups of hyenas swarming up to it.

The situation is a little less wonderful.

Even if it turns over, it can still crush a group of hyenas to death, but it cannot withstand a large number of hyenas.

If there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant.

What's more, the leaders of the Yongye Army are not ants, nor are they fighting alone.

Just when the warships of both sides rushed together.

On both sides of the Donau River, countless crocodile tribesmen rushed out pushing their boats, shouting excitedly and rushing up.

You can vaguely distinguish from the wave of human voices, shouts such as "kill them all" and "seize their warships".

Even ordinary Crocodile tribesmen soldiers can tell that this is a rare good situation. Once they miss this time, they will never have the chance to capture the Commons family fleet.

Therefore, these Crocodile tribesmen soldiers marched forward bravely one by one without any encouragement from the Crocodile tribe elders.

They have been suffering for too long.

They lost the west bank of Despair Swamp, they lost Kirigakure Lake, and they lost Brother Port.

Once they retreat to the Andis Mountains behind the Death Channel, they will lose the entire Swamp of Despair, their people, and their homeland where their ancestors have lived for generations.

This is something that every bloody crocodile tribesman does not want to see.

As long as they can capture the Commons family's battleship, they can reverse the situation and reverse the entire war in the Swamp of Despair.

This was what the wise officers led by the Yongye Army told them. They didn't believe it at first, but at this moment, they believed it.

"Captain, break out of the encirclement! We can withdraw one by one. If we continue to struggle, our Third Fleet will be trapped and die here." Bray, the deputy captain of the Dragon Warship, suggested again.

So far, there are only seven or eight warships in the Commons family fleet that are trapped in the siege of the Evernight Army, and most of the remaining ones are still outside the artillery bombardment range on the top of the Evernight Army.

The Commons family fleet previously pursued, but did not gather the entire fleet together. Instead, they divided into two echelons, responding to each other and supporting each other. No matter which echelon was attacked, the other echelon responded immediately.

It's just that the traps prepared by the Yongye Army Leader are too vicious and target the weaknesses of the Commons family warships. This stretch of water has now become an out-and-out water swamp. If one ship comes in, it will fall into another one.

The second echelon of the Commons family fleet rushing in now will not only not be able to help much, but will make the situation even more chaotic. The already extremely congested battlefield will directly become a solid one. By then, not one of the Commons family warships will be able to help.

Can't run away.

The commander of the second echelon of the Commons family fleet was also a smart man. He noticed this immediately and did not rush forward blindly. Instead, he turned the ship around with difficulty to prepare for retreat and at the same time gave the first echelon a stone throw.

and arrow support.

The effect is obviously quite limited.

Before the large-scale rise of firearms, long-range attack methods in naval warfare were quite lacking.

Even the Commons family, which is at the forefront of the shipbuilding industry, is no exception.

The most lethal tactic of their warships is ship ramming.

When this move was abolished, the combat effectiveness of their battleships was reduced by two-thirds.
