As sailors, they were not landlubbers. Although everyone knew a little about swimming, their range of motion was restricted by the hull of the ship, making it impossible to maneuver. Consequently, these men could only struggle in the sea.
"Damn it!"
"Su Yang!"
On the Yangwei, Su Yang ordered everyone to grip the sturdy pillars tightly. The personnel were not significantly affected.
"Come on, keep ramming!"
Once everyone was stable, Su Yang smirked and gave the order again.
He wanted to finish these people off in one go.
Hearing the command, everyone nodded in unison.
"Yes!"
Orders given, action commenced!
In the main cabin, after the operators recovered, they immediately adjusted the direction, backing the Yangwei a certain distance before accelerating forward to ram again.
*Rumble!*
As the Yangwei charged, it randomly locked onto a direction. This time, the unlucky vessel was the Qingcheng Navy's Ship 004!
"Damn it! How can this thing be so fierce!"
"Grab on! Grab the deck!"
However, Qingcheng Navy Ship 004 did not hold on for long before it began to tilt.
With the hull damaged, Ship 004 soon began to sink into the sea, following Ship 006.
Seeing this, Hanslock broke into a cold sweat.
He staggered to the deck.
"Boss, this kind of ramming is like killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of our own!"
Although this method could wreck those ships, it didn't mean the Yangwei wouldn't be damaged.
If this continued, it was likely that not only the Qingcheng Navy but also the Yangwei itself would sink.
Su Yang raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Then what do you suggest?"
Hanslock thought for a moment, "Based on my years of experience, we don't need to ram. We only need to use artillery fire when we get close to the enemy ships."
"Is the recoil from firing not significant?"
"Not at all!"
"Then let's do it!"
Su Yang did not hesitate and handed over command to Hanslock.
"Alright!"
Hanslock ordered the operators to approach the enemy ships, and then a cannonball was fired at them.
"Fire!"
*Rumble!*
The powerful impact exploded towards the enemy ship, and the Yangwei was pushed back tens of meters by the force before it stopped.
The impact was within an acceptable range.
The people on the Yangwei merely swayed.
But looking ahead,
Flames soared into the sky, and a Qingcheng warship was already burning. Everyone on board jumped off and fled.
Soon, the ship sank into the sea.
Witnessing this, the people on the Yangwei rejoiced.
"Professionals do professional work, Hans, you've got this!"
Even Su Yang gave a thumbs-up, signaling Hanslock to continue firing.
"Let's press our advantage and strike while they're down!"
*Rumble!*
At the same time, the enemy ships began to counterattack, and several cannonballs struck the Yangwei.
Several dents were glaringly obvious, but they did not breach the deck.
"Prepare, accelerate, fire!"
Hanslock shouted loudly, and the operators rammed repeatedly.
On the shore, the families of Qingcheng were stunned, having never witnessed such a brutal method of attack.
"This..."
"Is Su Yang crazy!"
"Young people are so arrogant! Even their fighting style is arrogant!"
The Yangwei, relying on its thick steel plates and large hull, directly rammed and engaged in close-quarters combat.
While this method incurred some damage, it ensured stable output. For every three hundred of our losses, you would lose at least a thousand.
This was Su Yang's current strategy!
Tang Ye hurriedly asked, "Dad, if it goes on like this, the Qingcheng Navy will be wiped out!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. We only have commercial ships. Sending them for reinforcement would just be cannon fodder!"
Tang Shanhe, unable to fire at the Yangwei at sea, was also troubled.
"Dad, even if we can't get the Yangwei, Su Yang is openly attacking the Qingcheng Navy. We can report this to the capital.
With the Shangguan family's influence, the capital will surely be enraged and send thousands of warships to围剿 Su Yang. They might even send fighter jets to attack from the air."
Tang Shanhe nodded several times. His son's plan was confirmed: to use a borrowed knife to kill.
"Let's go, we'll go back and prepare the documents, and send them to the capital immediately!"
Tang Shanhe waved his hand and led the remnants of the various families away.
...
At sea.
The Yangwei was under attack from all sides, with multiple areas of the deck hit by cannonballs, creating small holes in some places.
Seawater slowly seeped into the cabin. Su Yang went down to the cabin and directed his subordinates to repair the small holes.
"Chu Tianye, you supervise the work at the stern. Make sure to clear the water inside the ship in a timely manner."
"Yes!"
"Old Mo, go to the bow and check for any areas that need repair. Be absolutely sure no water gets in."
"Alright, I'll go right away!"
Su Yang remained calm in the face of crisis. The amount of water seeping in was not significant, and the Dragon Blood Legion was already clearing it.
As for the holes, spare steel plates were being nailed on to prevent water from entering from the outside.
After continuous enemy attacks, the cabin swayed violently.
Many wounded soldiers of the Dragon Blood Legion were affected and had to stop their treatment.
Liu Shishi, holding her best friend Liang Peiqi, stood aside. The two women had not practiced martial arts and were not strong.
They held onto the iron pillars tightly, barely managing to stay on their feet.
Liu Shishi touched her mouth, "Su Yang, how is the situation outside?"
"It's still very chaotic outside. You two stay here for now!"
"We're both about to throw up."
"If you're seasick, go to Shen Qiu and get some medicine. Never mind, I'll take you."
Su Yang thought of Shi Wuzun's condition and was very worried.
The group turned a few corners and arrived at a secret room.
There, Shen Qiu was holding the unconscious Shi Wuzun in his arms, doing his best to prevent Shi Wuzun from suffering further harm.
Su Yang sighed, "Shen Qiu, thank you for your hard work. Why didn't you call your disciples to help?"
"Boss, the fighting outside is fierce, so I sent them to help. I can handle it here alone. Everyone is trying their best."
"Alright, give them two some medicine, they're seasick. You three take good care of Shi Wuzun later, and absolutely do not let him be jolted again, especially his internal organs."
Su Yang gently lifted Shi Wuzun's clothes. The black spider had already been driven away by Shen Qiu.
However, Shi Wuzun was still very weak, and many of his wounds had not yet healed.
"Okay, we understand."
After giving a few instructions, Su Yang returned to the deck.
At this moment, all the Qingcheng Navy warships had sunk into the sea.
The Yangwei continued to advance, with the Dragon Blood Legion soldiers and all the robots working at full capacity to repair the cabin.
Hanslock wiped the sweat from his brow, "Boss, we've passed the immediate crisis, but the journey is still long. Will they come again?"
"They will definitely pursue us, and other cities have also set up checkpoints. However, we won't go back yet. We'll find a place to dock and rest for a night."
Su Yang looked in the direction of Qingcheng. This time, he would definitely teach the eight major families of Qingcheng a good lesson.
Revenge is best served without delay!
"Alright, I'll go arrange the itinerary!"
