Chapter 129 decisive battle six
The Black Flag Army of the Song Dynasty had ten giant ships of the Wuwei Boat Division, namely "Yangwu", "Zhenwu", "Xuanwu", "Longwei", "Longxiang", "Dragon Scale", "
"Zhenhai", "Zhenjiang", "Zhen'an" and "Zhenfu", each giant ship has hundreds of naval officers and one battleship commander.
On a certain day in July of the third year of Jianwu's reign in the Song Dynasty, the Jin Army's navy took advantage of the favorable wind direction and launched a large-scale attack. Wuwei's navy's ten giant ships and hundreds of sea falcons, flying owl and other hundreds of large and small warships rose up to fight.
The horns were lingering and the drums were beating like thunder. Amidst the thunderous drums and trumpets, each ship raised the white tiger flag. This was the flag of a fight to the death, and anyone who dared to disobey this order would be killed immediately.
At this moment, a northwest wind blew on the surface of the river. The wind direction was unfavorable to Captain Weiwei, but Captain Wuwei was far more familiar with the currents of the river than the Jin Army. Although the water of the river flows from west to east, the underwater
There was a strong undercurrent, forming a wide backwater bay at the bottom of the river. The ships of the Wuwei Navy quickly seized favorable positions, which could eliminate some of the adverse effects of the wind direction.
The Jin Army believed that the iron cables of Wuwei Zhoushi were connected to the river. At this moment, the ships had already unbuckled and dispersed. The ten giant ships were not connected together at first, but they were also quickly dispersed at this time, lining up one after another on the wide river.
Formed a fan-shaped water battle formation to fight against the Jin Army's boat division.
Upon seeing this, the Jin army felt that they had been tricked, but the ships had already launched an attack on Wuwei Marine Division, and the two sides were about to engage in battle. At this moment, could they still retreat?
"Stop the oars on the port side, increase the power on the starboard side, take off the gun jacket, and stick the muzzle out of the cabin, ready to let the dog, the son of a thief, have a taste of the power." Fu Lin, the commander of the "Zhenfu", stood high on the giant ship.
On the high stern, someone with a clairvoyance gave a loud order.
Following Fu Lin's order, the "Zhenfu", like other giant ships, quickly turned its bow and pointed its side at the direction of the Jin Army's navy ship. At the same time, more than a hundred "Shenwei Cannons" fired
The mouth extended outside the cabin.
The black muzzle was pointed directly at the Jin Army's navy ship.
The world's first and most primitive artillery will show off its power on the river.
The principle of artillery is not difficult for Li Sanjian. The difficulty lies in the iron-making, steel-making technology and explosive power in this world. After many years of continuous development and improvement, Li Sanjian, Tang Shun and other weapons supervisors have already made
The artillery that began to take shape was launched, the Shenwei Cannon.
There are more than a hundred divine cannons on the right side of each giant ship, arranged in three levels: upper, middle and lower. The same is true on the left side. Each divine cannon has three gunners. After one gunner has loaded the lead bullet, the other two
The gunner opened the small hatch on the side and pushed the thick muzzle out of the cabin. There are pulleys under each Shenwei cannon. This is the design of Tang Shun and others. When firing, it can buffer the recoil to avoid self-injury and move at the same time.
Convenient, it is convenient to close the cannon, clean it, reload it, etc. You must know that when sailing and fighting in the sea, the muzzle of the cannon cannot be extended all the time.
At the same time, more than a hundred Shenwei cannons are isolated from each other and arranged in their own gun cabins. The four walls of the gun cabins are covered with skin. In this way, if a certain Shenwei cannon injures itself, it will not be damaged.
This will affect other Divine Cannons.
There are more than a thousand divine cannons on one side of the ten giant ships. At this moment, the black muzzles of the guns are pointed at the Jin Army's navy ship.
"Twelve hundred steps, one thousand steps, nine hundred steps, eight hundred steps, General Fu, the captive ship has entered the range.
It's over." A Black Flag Army Wuwei Marine Corps commander holding a distance-measuring cross kept loudly reporting the distance of the Jin Army's warships.
Fu Lin nodded and continued to observe the rushing Jin Army warship with his clairvoyance. In his clairvoyance, the ferocious face of the Jin Army on board was clearly visible.
"Seven hundred steps." The ranging school reported loudly.
"Fire! Fire! Fire!"
As the Jin army's warships entered the firing range, the captains of each giant ship successively issued orders to fire.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Following the orders given by the captains of the giant ships, more than a thousand divine cannons roared one after another. The huge impact shook the giant ships upwards, and huge waves were set off on the right side. The flames erupted from the muzzles were almost
The water in the river was boiled.
The more than a thousand lead bullets that came out of the barrel flew into the air like arrows, drawing more than a thousand wonderful curves and forming a sky net. The scene was spectacular.
When had the Jin Army seen such an earth-shattering scene? The attacking Jin troops almost forgot that they were attacking the Wuwei Marine Corps. They all looked up at the sky blankly, not knowing what was going on.
But it won't be long before the Jin people know what happened.
In an instant, more than a thousand lead bullets poured down from the air, hitting the Jin army's warship head-on.
The lead bullets fell like rain and hit the river, causing huge waves to hit the ships and making loud noises.
How could a wooden ship withstand such a huge impact? In an instant, more than 20 large ships of the Jin Army, such as stern ships and stern ships, were hit by lead bullets. Suddenly, they were smashed into pieces and pieces of wood flew around, torn into pieces, and a huge cloud was raised.
The water mist and sawdust mist raised the smoke to a height of several feet. Large ships and cabins of the Jin Army such as sterns and building ships were blown away, leaving only the bare hulls floating on the river, or broken into several pieces.
Slowly sinking to the bottom of the river, or big holes were made in the cabin by lead bullets, and the river surged in, and the final result would inevitably be sinking to the bottom of the river.
The sterns, turrets and other large ships of the Jin Army Navigation Division were still cruising behind hundreds of small boats preparing for a fire attack, waiting for an opportunity to attack the mighty Marine Division. But who would have expected that the first attack by the Song Army Marine Division's giant ship would be the Jin Army Navigation Division hiding behind?
The Jin army did not know what kind of ordnance the Song army used to attack large ships such as sterns and tower ships. The distance was so far, the speed was so fast, and the power was so powerful.
You must know that the maximum throwing distance of the trebuchet is only two or three hundred steps. Of course, the weight of the stones is different, and the throwing distance is different.
The heavy lead bullets flew quickly with huge kinetic energy and hit the crowd of Jin soldiers on the warship. They immediately created a path of blood. In the path of blood were bloody corpses.
Countless Jin troops were either killed by lead bullets, smashed away, or their warships broke apart and fell into the cold river. The Jin troops either sank to the bottom of the river and fed the fish and turtles, or floated up and down in the river.
Screaming loudly, shouting for help.
In fact, the shocking power of the Shenwei cannon to the Jin army was far greater than its physical damage. The Jin army did not know what weapons the Wuwei boat division of the Black Flag Army of the Song Dynasty used on the opposite side. The Jin army on the Jin army's warship was not hit.
Everyone was so frightened that their souls flew out of their minds. Some golden men even prostrated themselves on the boat, clasped their hands together, and prayed to the sky.
Maybe no matter how tragic the scene is, the Jin people may not be so scared, but people in this world generally believe in God.
Many Jinjun thought that a god came down to earth to help Wuwei Boat Master.
.
.
"Wonderful victory! Ten thousand victory! Ten thousand victory!"
Not everyone in the Wuwei Boat Division of the Black Flag Army of the Song Dynasty had seen the power of the divine cannon. At this moment, they saw it from a distance. After being shocked, they all raised their weapons high, shouted loudly, cheered, and jumped for joy.
"Kill! Kill!"
"I'm just waiting to die today!"
The first thing that the giant ship attacked was the large ships such as the sterns, tower ships and other large ships of the Jin Army that were hiding behind. Therefore, the Jin Army's navy rushed in front, and the hundreds of fire ships that were about to launch a fire attack were basically unharmed. At this moment, in shock, the Jin Army on board
With blood-red eyes, they all sailed quickly toward the Wuwei Boat Master's formation, all aiming at the ten giant ships.
The Jin Army's military law is strict, and returning is a dead end. It is better to rush forward and fight the enemy to the death, and maybe save a life. At the same time, as long as these ten giant ships are burned, the Jin Army can turn defeat into victory.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Jin army wanted to use fire to win, so how could Wuwei's navy not guard against it? So the target of the second round of bombardment by the giant ship was these hundreds of fire ships.
The cannon roared, and countless lead bullets hit the Jin army fireships. However, because the fireships had a small target and were traveling at high speed, not many fireships were hit by lead bullets, but the fireships were hit by lead bullets.
, or were sunk, or broken into pieces, or even overturned by big waves.
However, there were still many fire ships that broke through the barrage of the Mighty Marine Corps' giant ship, and continued to drive at high speed, rushing towards the giant ship. The distance was getting closer and closer. The dead soldiers of the Jin Army Marine Corps on the ship had already ignited the fire starters on the ship.
The faces of the Jin Army's warriors who dared to die showed a look of determination and ferociousness, and they shouted wildly to embolden themselves.
Zhang Kan, who was standing on the "Yangwu", looked at all this coldly. Even the Mighty Boat Master couldn't deal with such a small trick, how could he dominate the sea? He couldn't deal with these former Song Army boats that were surrendered by Jin Zhao.
How can the master or the northern landlubber who is not used to sailing accomplish the ambition of Prime Minister Li Sanjian?
The great ambition of Li Sanjian, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, was to dominate the sea and dominate the mainland.
"Blow the drum, attack!" Zhang Kan then ordered loudly.
“Tum…Tum…Tum…”
"Woo...Woo...Woo..."
A burst of rapid drums and horns then sounded among the Wuwei Marine Corps, and countless loaches, mackerel fish, and flying owl boats rushed out from the two wings.
Many medium and small warships of the Wuwei Marine Division have a huge log tied to the bow, specifically used to ram these fireships and prevent them from getting close to the giant ship.
In the blink of an eye, the small warships of the Wuwei Army Navy rushed in front of these fire ships. The officers and men of the Wuwei Army Navy Boat Division stood firmly on the ship, bending their bows and shooting arrows, while driving the warships towards these fire ships.
With a loud "boom" sound, three Fei Xiao warships that were flying on water collided with a fire ship at the same time. The fire ship was immediately knocked over and the straw, dry firewood and other objects that were lit on the ship were dumped on it.
After falling into the water, there was a hissing sound, and the Jin soldiers in the boat were overturned and fell into the water, flopping and struggling, shouting for help.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Black Flag Army! Ten Thousand Victories! Ten Thousand Victories! Ten Thousand Victories!"
Chapter completed!
