The key to naval battles is the direction of the wind and the trend.

If you can seize the upper air outlet, it can not only increase the projection distance of weapons such as crossbows, catapults, etc., but also prevent the opponent from using fire to attack the ship or using a corner to hit the ship.

However, everything in this world has its advantages and disadvantages. After seizing the upper air outlet, under the influence of the wind, the upper air outlet warship pushed its warship to the enemy without any resistance, and there was no time to retreat. If you want to survive, you could only move forward and fight bravely to the enemy.

This is what is called putting it to death and then resurrection!

On June 2nd year of Chongning, Song Dynasty, Sima Wei, general of the Wuwei Zhoushi Division of the Song Dynasty, led a sea falcon warship and dozens of fish, while patrolling the waters of Quanzhou, he encountered four pirate ships looting at the sea.

With one against four, although the size of the ships on the other side is not as big as the Song army's warships, they have a great advantage in number.

There are two choices for Sima Wei. One is to fight with the enemy and save the looted merchant ship, the other is to escape, flee back to Quanzhou Port, and allow the pirates to plunder the merchant ship.

"Rise the Seven-Star Flag! Take the upper hand and prepare for the fight!" Sima Wei stood on the high crossbow tower, pulled out his waist knife, and ordered loudly.

If you retreat without fighting, you will be dealt with by military law. This is the first battle of the Wuwei Zhoushi, the Black Flag Military of the Song Dynasty. If you escape without fighting in the first battle, you will seriously undermine the spirit of the Zhoushi, you will definitely be severely punished by Li Sanjian.

Therefore, while Sima Wei asked a small boat to return to the port to seek help, he loudly ordered to seize the upper hand and prepare to fight with the pirates and plundering ships.

After receiving the order, the Song army, who was traversing in the cabin of the Haixia, was commanded by a general and desperately stepped on the water truck in the ship. The water truck paddles hit the water, making a deafening sound.

At the same time, dozens of oars of the Sea Falcon warship extended out of the hull, which was very rhythmic, hitting the water surface one after another, driving the warship towards the upper air outlet.

"Rise the flag! Ask the other party to stop the ship for investigation, otherwise it will sink immediately!"

After the Haixia warship quickly seized the upper hand, Sima Wei ordered loudly.

Several school schools responsible for the orders raised their flags after receiving the orders, and ordered the other party to stop the ship for investigation.

After seeing the flag, the two chased merchant ships quickly broke down and stopped on the water surface of the lower right side of the Haixia warship, waiting for the Song army to board the ship to investigate.

But the four medium-sized pirate ships were still slashing the waves and heading towards the merchant ships quickly, chasing them relentlessly, as if they did not take the Song army warships seriously.

"Zhi Niang Thief" Sima Wei cursed and ordered: "Let the whole team change the formation in a northwest shape, stop the port side oars, accelerate the starboard oars, crossbows are rolled, catapults are placed on the fireballs, and the sea falcon ships are staying on the spot, ready to face the enemy."

After receiving the order, the school continued to wave the flag and issued orders to other ships.

The wind direction at this time is from west to east, and occupying the northwest corner not only prevents the opponent's fire attack, but also prevents the impact of the opponent's large ship.

The Haixia warship turned to the side of the ship to face the opponent with a large ship for the side of the bed crossbow. The catapult was easy to attack and stayed on the spot was also for this purpose. The accuracy of the catapult when moving the bed crossbow and the catapult would be very poor.

After the sea falcon warship quickly seized the upper air outlet, it faced several pirate ships that were coming quickly. At the same time, more than a dozen small fish boats cruising around the sea falcon, guarding the sea falcon warship.

"Three Crossbows"

Scare! Let it go!" Sima Wei waved his knife and ordered loudly after seeing the opponent's ship entering the range of the crossbow.

"Bang bang bang!" With Sima Wei's order, the three pairs of three-bow crossbows placed on the bow made three loud noises. Three thick crossbow arrows flew into the air, and then the arrows sank and flew quickly towards the first ship that rushed over to the other side.

This kind of "bed crossbow" is called "bed crossbow" or "bridge cannon". A crossbow is often equipped with two bows or three bows, and uses the combined force of multiple bows to launch arrows, and the force is extremely strong. The structure of the multi-bow bed crossbow is very clever, and the setting of the bow string may use pulleys.

There are many kinds of bow crossbows, among which the most powerful three-bow crossbow is also called "Eight Ox Crossbow", which requires dozens of people to open the strings. The arrow "Mugan Iron Feather" is known as "one gun and three sword arrows". The arrows are like javelins, and three iron feathers are like three swords.

The range of the bed crossbow is also extremely long, ranging from hundreds to thousands of steps, and the best range is about five hundred steps.

There are three pairs of three bows and crossbows on the Haixia warship, and there are more "Shenzhou" warships in the Quanzhou Marine of the Song Dynasty.

It is not easy to build a bed crossbow. Quanzhou Prefecture has only created dozens of bed crossbows in more than a year.

Three crossbow arrows flew into the air, and when they fell, they made a terrifying "whimper" sound, and rushed straight to the pirate ship in front like a galloping horse.

One of the crossbow arrows fell into the sea, and the other two crossbow arrows accurately hit the pirate ship.

A crossbow arrow was inserted into the deck of the pirate ship, and a loud "bang" sounded, smashing a big black hole on the opponent's deck.

Another crossbow arrow shot on the other side's sail, and the sail fell down with a "wow".

The pirate ship that had lost its power then hit the sea not far from the Sea Falcon warship.

The pirates on the ship were frightened and bursts of exclamations.

"Three crossbows, catapults shot!" The pirate ship that rushed to the front lost its power and stopped on the sea not far away, and had become a static target. This was a fighter plane. Therefore, Sima Wei decisively ordered that all long-range weapons on the sea falcon warship attack together.

Opportunities must not be missed, and no more mistakes will come!

With Sima Wei's order, three pairs of bed crossbows and three catapults shot crossbow arrows or fireballs at the pirate ship that was struck horizontally.

Three crossbow arrows flew towards the opponent's ship like lightning, and three fireballs shot by the trencher also flew into the air, like three meteors, dragging their long tail flames and hitting the opponent's ship.

In an instant, the crossbow arrows and fireballs almost all hit the pirate ship. The crossbow arrows almost broke the ship, and the fireballs hit the opponent's ship, and a raging fire broke out.

The pirate ship that lost its power ignited a raging fire. At the same time, water flowed into the cabin, and half of the hull was immersed in the water. The pirates on the ship screamed and dived to escape. In an instant, the sea surface was filled with people or ship wreckage.

The remaining three pirate ships, two of which also went horizontally to the sea falcon warship, shot stones or fireballs at the sea falcon warship, and one pirate ship accelerated toward the sea falcon warship, intending to hit or jump to the melee.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!" The stones or fireballs thrown by the pirates kept falling on the boat or in the sea, falling into the water, splashing countless waves, and making loud noises after loud sounds on the boat.

The Song army's sea falcon warship was at the upper air outlet, so the sea

The hit rate of the thief throwing is extremely poor, only a few stones or fireballs hit the hull. The small stones are irrelevant to large ships. The only thing that is troublesome is the fireball. If the fireball falls into the ship, if the fire cannot be put out in time, it will burn the entire warship.

Therefore, the "hidden fire soldiers" among countless Song army navy took various fire extinguishing equipment, regardless of the rain-like arrows and flying stones, and quickly put out the fire ignited by the fireballs.

"The general of Fu team, I ordered you to lead the water ghost to go into the water and sink the opponent's ships. The general of Fudu team, please be careful!" Sima Wei commanded the crossbow and the catapult to shoot against the opponent, while ordering the head of the Quanzhou Navy of the Song Dynasty, Fuding Ding, the head of the Duke of the Duke of Quanzhou, the Duke of the Duke of the Fuding Ding, to lead the water ghost to go into the water and fight with the opponent.

Although Fu Ding was young, around 30 years old, she was the third uncle of Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou. Therefore, Sima Wei did not dare to be careless, and he was repeatedly instructed...

Fu Ding answered the order loudly, took off his military uniform, revealing a body of black flesh like a hard lump. He held a steel knife and was naked, and jumped into the sea first.

Dozens of Song army sea ghosts followed the talisman and jumped into the sea.

When a water ghost is chiseled, it not only has to face the other person's water ghost, but also has to face underwater torrents or undercurrents. The undercurrent is like an arrow. If the water ghost is not able to drown before it approaches the other person's ship, it will be drowned. Therefore, not all waters can be transported to the water ghost to drill the ship.

However, the water ghosts of the Song army were recruited from "公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公

The same was true for dozens of water ghosts in the Song army. After entering the water, they were like fish in water, diving into the water, swimming towards a ship that was shooting stones and crossbow arrows.

The water ghosts on the pirate ship saw the Song army's water ghosts coming into the water, and they also jumped into the water to fight with the Song army.

Soon after, waves on the water surface surged, and blood-red sea water rose, and some human tissues floated on the water surface.

The fierce battle underwater was in full swing, and a pirate ship on the surface braved the opponent's rainy arrows and stones and impulsed to the sea falcon warship.

In an instant, there was a loud "boom", and the huge bronze-wrapped corner hit the right hull of the Sea Falcon warship. Wood chips flew up and broken wood flew everywhere.

If it was a small ship, it would be overturned by such a fierce impact, but the hull of the Falcon warship was huge and it was just shaken for a moment, making it as stable as Mount Tai.

"Kill!" The pirates on the ship had blood red eyes and a ferocious look on their faces. After throwing several soft ladders to the Haixia warship, they climbed up the soft ladders, trying to capture the Song army warship.

"Shoot the arrow!" Sima Wei calmed down and directed the crossbowmen on the ship, holding various crossbows, and shooting arrows at the pirates climbing the ship.

The Song army crossbowmen held the crossbow and divided into three teams. They were calm and calm, using the cover of the female wall on the ship to take turns firing feather arrows downwards.

For a moment, arrows shot towards the pirates who climbed the boat like locusts.

The pirates were caught in the arrow and screamed in pain, thrown into the sea. Some pirates rushed up were stabbed under the ship by a burst of guns.

The boats of the Quanzhou boats in the Black Flag of the Song Dynasty also moved quickly among the fierce battle ships, looking for a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy, or set off arrows or set fires, and fighting fiercely with the enemy.
