The form of naval battles in the cold weapon period was mainly frontal combat, with trebuchets and crossbows as long-range weapons shooting at each other. The surviving ships collided with each other, and then launched a boarding battle. The attacking party used the racket to smash and destroy the enemy ship.

The ship's protective measures are used to kill and injure sailors. Our own soldiers "jump gangs" onto the enemy ship, engage in hand-to-hand combat, and seize or sink the enemy ship.

The Jin Shui Army was modeled on the Old Navy and Liao Navy of the Song Dynasty. The design and combat methods of the ships certainly inherited their characteristics. However, the Song Army's warship now uses its side to engage the enemy and uses artillery to attack from a distance.

, don’t give it to them at all

When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, although my warship is tall and powerful, there is no way to hit it. I am anxious and there is nothing I can do. Seeing that the two ships are parallel, it is difficult to move and adjust the direction of the trebuchet. I cannot use it, so I can only order the crossbow.

His hands kept firing arrows.

'Boom, boom...' The starboard cannon of the Weiyuan began to fire. The impact surface of the ship facing the ship was a point. If there was a slight deviation, it would miss. But now it was a point shot on the opposite side. The distance was so close, and the opponent was bigger than us.

If you hit too much, it will be like an awl piercing the sole of your shoe. If you miss it again, you will be a bit sorry for having a military salary that is half higher than that of the infantry and cavalry.

'Dong' The first shot hit the enemy ship's bow. The solid iron bullet directly penetrated the ship's plank. It rolled several times in the cabin and came out through the plank at the lower position on the opposite side, leaving a hole as big as a door leaf on the port side.

The ship tilted a few times, and some sailors lost their balance and fell to the ground.

The Weiyuan's artillery fired accordingly, leaving large holes in the enemy ship. The parapet collapsed, the mast was broken, and the ship completely lost power and collapsed on the sea. Unfortunately, the shells failed to hit the enemy ship's waterline.

It was in a lower position. Although it suffered heavy damage, it did not sink.

"Speed ​​up and ram the enemy ship!" The two ships passed by each other, and the broadside guns lost their effect. Behind them were more than a dozen small-scale go-go warships. Song Yi ordered again, the drums beat rapidly, and the sailors operating the oars in the middle all exerted their strength.

, the Weiyuan's speed suddenly increased and rushed towards the Jin Army's fleet.

Because the plan was to seize the port, the ships of the Jin Army were loaded with Jin Army sailors who were preparing to participate in boarding battles or landing operations. They only had weapons such as bows, arrows, swords and guns in their hands, and faced the collision of several Song Army warships. They obviously

I was not prepared, nor did I expect that our side would only take one turn.

The warships were paralyzed and lost cover. The Jin army was in chaos, and the shrewd ones hurriedly accelerated to break away from the formation to avoid the Song army warships; some were still confused and stared blankly at the huge shadow rolling towards them; others

Those who were not afraid of death used their bows and arrows to shoot at Song's ship, hoping that they would be able to hold on to their backs even before they died.

Amidst desperate screams and a loud bang, the Weiyuan hit a walking boat that was unable to avoid it. Under the influence of the huge momentum, the sharp angle of attack of the battleship split it into two halves, and the ship sank instantly.

Suddenly, the Jin Army sailors fell into the water one after another. The Weiyuan just paused and then sailed from their heads.

The Jin army pressed forward and rolled it into the bottom of the ship. The Jin army was unable to fight back in front of the Weiyuan. Even if it was scratched, the ship would capsize. Under its rampage, it had already dispersed and escaped.

The place was in a mess. There were shipwrecks floating on the water, leaving behind the cries for help from those who fell into the water...

Song Yi was also very nervous at first. In fact, although the Song Dynasty navy had been established for many years, it did not have many opportunities to participate in actual combat. Most of them were engaged in anti-smuggling, escorting, exterminating water pirates and blocking enemy waterways. Therefore, even if Song Yi was like this

The old sailors didn't have much actual combat experience. Even though they had been wandering around the enemy's doorstep for almost a year, they still didn't have a chance to fight. I didn't expect to catch up with a big one in this fight!

We really can’t blame the navy for this phenomenon, it’s just because they are too powerful and have no rivals in this world. When people see them, they avoid them and don’t dare to fight them. They are so lonely that they seek defeat.

Jian Si looked around and felt confused. Back then

The story of the navy's participation in the Yingzhou landing battle has been rumored for many years. In fact, those who witnessed it know that the navy was more responsible for transportation tasks, and it was the Marines who really made the contribution. The new navy has basic naval combat experience.

It comes from training and exercises and escort patrols.

"Fire the first gun, insert into the enemy formation, and fire the left and right side guns in sequence!" Seeing that Song Yi could easily severely damage the enemy's main ship and break through its formation, his confidence increased. He loudly ordered the warship to speed up again and insert into the oncoming enemy ship formation.

Disrupt its offensive formation and gain early warning for the island.

He then took advantage of the chaos to break away and fight again. But he soon discovered that his situation was not good. The enemy warships that had been prepared launched a "round-up" formation and surrounded him from three sides. The stone bullets fired at him were also

More densely, falling continuously around the battleship...

Wuyan Puluhun, the former military commander of the Jinshui Army, originally thought that this mission should be very easy. Even with more than a hundred warships and nearly 20,000 troops under his command, it would be enough to conquer Shenmi Island. He was also worried that the Song army on the island would not fight.

Escape and let yourself run away in vain. Therefore, you are very worried about the sudden attack of 'Cheng Yaojin' on your fleet.

Angry, these Southern Dynasty people were overestimating their capabilities. Instead of surrendering and running away, they dared to ambush themselves, so he sent a battleship twice the tonnage to deal with it. But it can only be said that Wuyanpu

Lu Hun was so stupid that he actually wanted to defeat an opponent equipped with more than a dozen artillery pieces in a one-on-one situation with a warship equipped with cold weapons.

He thought that the simple task of the battle would be solved quickly, but Wuyan Puluhun unexpectedly hit a hard nail. There was a "bang bang" sound, and his battleship became a dead fish floating on the sea.

, the sailors who were preparing to board the ship and rob it were all drowned, and

The opponent seemed not to be satisfied yet, so he charged at his own formation single-handedly. This made him angry, and he immediately ordered all the main warships to form a crescent formation to round him up to prevent it from escaping. At the same time, he used trebuchets to fire stone bombs to sink it.

, the best course is to inflict heavy damage and capture.

Faced with the siege of several Jin army warships, Song Yi ordered the sails to be raised to increase the ship's speed again. Although raising the sails increased the chance of the ship being hit, they still had to rely on concealment to hit the enemy ship at a long distance.

', not to mention that the enemy ship is equipped with a trebuchet with a slower rate of fire and adjustment.

, it may be somewhat effective against group targets. If you want to hit a single ship sailing at high speed in the dark with its lights out, you have to rely on "blindness". The reality is that the Jin Army's character is really not good, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer.

As we get closer, the stone bullets stray farther and farther away, becoming more and more sparse.

It turned out that despite the siege of the Jin Shui Army, Song Yi still rushed to the space between the second and third enemy battleships in the enemy's line according to the original plan. As the angle with the enemy ships on the outer edge narrowed, they were unable to aim at all.

, they also sent their own men to accidentally injure their own people, allowing the Weiyuan to successfully break through the net they had made with cannon stones. Upon seeing this, the two enemy ships immediately moved closer to each other, hoping to rely on their own height advantages to attack the Weiyuan in an attempt to squeeze it out.

broken.

"Steady the rudder, keep the course, speed up!" The distance between the two enemy ships in front of Song Yi gradually narrowed to less than a hundred steps, but he still did not change his mind and ordered loudly, at this time the drum beat of the oar rhythm

The sound has become louder, and the ship's speed has reached its limit.

"Fire!" The enemy ship's speed was still slow. The Weiyuan successfully broke into the two enemy ships before they got together. The distance between the two enemy ships was only thirty steps. Although it was dark, the enemy ships could still be seen clearly.

The sailors were fooled. They had steel knives on their backs and ropes in their hands, ready to jump on board the ship.

'Boom, boom...' The Weiyuan's left and right side guns fired almost at the same time. The recoil caused by the shooting made the battleship tremble like a malaria, and the ship's plank made a heart-stopping creaking sound, as if the ship was momentarily

It seemed like it was about to fall apart, but it turned out that it didn’t

It collapsed, and both enemy ships were shattered into pieces. The Weiyuan was originally smaller than the Jin army's fighting ship, so of course it was a lot thicker, and the oars of both oarsmen who were close to the enemy ship were much larger.

When they are put together, as long as the cannon can be fired, it will definitely hit.

The Weiyuan hit the two enemy ships with six cannons per person without any bias, blowing one side of the ship into pieces. Seawater poured into the cabin instantly, and the oarsmen inside followed the ship down without even a chance to escape.

It sank, and those who survived jumped into the sea to escape, but some people still did not

In order to avoid being drawn into the whirlpool caused by the sunken ship, the Weiyuan shook a few times and accelerated forward, after knocking over several Jin Army warships, and emerged from the formation. But the scene in front of him shocked Song Yi.

The sea in the distance was dotted with lights, and there were no less than hundreds of Jin Army warships!

"Turn to the southeast and break away from the battle!" Song Yi ordered in a deep voice. It was already very risky to challenge the enemy fleet alone. Now the front and rear are covered with enemy warships. As the saying goes, if more ants kill an elephant, no matter how hard your own warships can fight,

If you are unable to defeat so many enemy troops, once you are entangled by them, it will be difficult to escape. And now that the Jin Army has dispatched so many warships, it seems that they are really coming. If you enter the port, you will be sealed inside. Maybe you can stay on the outside to coordinate.

It could also serve as a surprise soldier, so he decided to leave the battlefield.

"Damn it, how can you fire casually without an order!" Just when Song Yi was feeling depressed, a loud noise came from the stern of the ship, and the tail gunner who had never had a chance to participate in the battle fired a shot at the enemy group without permission...

Wuyan Puluhun was not only surprised but also angry at this moment. The enemy only had one warship. In just half an hour, he destroyed two of his own warships, severely damaged a large warship, and crashed six other warships. Before the battle even started, he was attacked.

Such a huge loss gave him an ominous premonition.

'Boom', Wuyan Puluhun felt the deck beneath his feet shake. He looked back and saw that the head of the soldier behind him had been smashed. The remaining iron bullet passed through the deck and fell into the cabin on the next floor.

, I don’t know how many more were killed. He deserved his misfortune, the tail gunner of the Weiyuan

The target was the tallest and largest building ship in the fleet. Who made it the biggest? Unexpectedly, he was blinded. If the muzzle had been higher, he would have made a great contribution by killing the former military commander of the Jinshui Army... (
