Chapter 174 Fierce naval battle

The sailors stepped on the slurry of the sea craft and ship in the cabin. There were two in the front and four in the back, and a total of six water wheels. The ship was only forty-five meters and started easily. Thirty ships quickly left the dock, and more than ten miles away from the port. The ship was parked there to hold a pre-war meeting.

Wu Song said: "The gun medicine is sufficient, and there is no waste after leaving Qinghe Island. It just happens to try the power of our general cannon."

Hu Cheng said: "The Zheng family thought that he was the overlord of the sea. If he wanted to fight, he had to teach him a lesson. I was not in charge of war. Erlang commanded him with full authority and we obeyed the orders." Thirty fleets, six warships were guards of three hundred, and there were more than 700 sailors of merchant ships. Each merchant ship had a giant crossbow and dozens of bows and arrows. He was definitely not a vegetarian.

Wu Song said: "Since you want to fight beautifully, the command will enter the wartime state, all sailors and guards will obey orders, and those who dare to violate the situation will be killed immediately. Change the formation, the warships are in front, the merchant ships are in the back, the artillery chambers, the bows and arrows are in the dark, and prepare to face the enemy."

"No." Everyone agreed.

Under the control of the captain and sailors, each ship quickly lined up, and six warships were in front. Six huge general Weiyuan guns were loaded with gun medicine and solid iron balls. After dozens of experiments, the solid iron balls could be four miles away and absolutely stood at the forefront of the times. They can be said to be the farthest cannon in this era. Although they were far away, they had no accuracy and were basically relying on mystery.

The sailor who was in charge of the observation of the flagship hanger said: "The enemy ship has been dispatched, eighteen lucky ships."

Wu Song said: "Military advisor, Tang Bin, do you see it? It's not a question of whether we want to fight or not, they must fight. Since they have to fight, they must fight hard. I think their lucky ship is good, and I will grab it back later and send Li Kui the order to prepare his axe soldier to board the ship."

Gongsun Sheng shook his head: "The life of the sea is really cruel. It is like the fish in the sea, eaten or eaten."

There was no time to sigh. A quarter of an hour later, the enemy ship arrived. The tall blessed ship had a mast like a forest. In terms of the smallest tonnage, Wu Song's sea car and ship were twice as big as the ship was too high, so it was not easy to board the ship.

"Enter the range." The water in charge of observation shouted, and gestured to the lower body.

Wu Song was not in a hurry and had been waiting to enter the Sanli area. Wu Song said: "The flag bearer sent an order to fire the cannon."

Weiyuan's cannon was powerful, and the thick smoke rose everywhere, and the iron ball weighing more than ten pounds hit him.

The Zheng family's flagship was at the front and was in trouble. It was hit by two large iron balls, smashed the mast and got out for a long time. The sailors who were preparing to fight on the deck were injured immediately.

Zheng Jing, whose head was wrapped in white cloth, was protected by the guards. He stood up after the shells stopped completely and said, "What the hell is this? It can hit so far."

Mr. Wang said: "It should be artillery, but I didn't expect that this small caravan actually had artillery."

The Zheng family did not have artillery. The cannon smiths cast a lot, but they were easy to explode, and they were not far away, so they gave up and were still giant crossbows as their main weapon.

"Roar over and snatch their artillery to see if we can imitate it." Zheng Jing said.

The power of the short dragon musket is limited. Zheng Jing was wearing armor and only had five or six iron sands on his face. It was so painful at that time. After he returned, he asked the doctor to take out the iron sand and exploded and resurrected with blood. But the doctor said that a good face might become ugly, which made Zheng Jing extremely unhappy and he was determined to take revenge.

"Weiyuan cannons are replaced with iron sand, long snake cannons are prepared, and giant crossbows are prepared." Wu Song issued an order in an orderly manner.

The iron beads as big as soybeans were put into the cannon chamber, and everything was ready.

The crossbowman of Zheng Jiafu ship was also ready. The giant crossbow arrow more than two meters long was tied with rags soaked with tinder oil in front of it. The sailor holding the torch was ready to light the giant crossbow at any time.

The sea car fleet also started to move forward gently, and soon, it was about 300 meters away.

Zheng Jiafu's giant crossbow with the arm was flying over with a fire. The sailors were prepared to hide and no casualties were killed. However, the ship's injuries were inevitable, and many places were ignited. The sailors used the sand and soil that had been prepared early to put out the fire.

"It's good to fight." The sailors of the lucky boat were all old birds who were experienced in many battles, joking unscrupulously because they knew that the giant crossbow was slow and it was not difficult to avoid and there was no need to panic.

"fight back."

The first one to roar was the Weiyuan cannon. The powerful one-ton cannon was like a landslide and cracking. I didn’t feel the solid shell just now. Now the iron beads are quite powerful. With a buzzing sound, it pounced over like hundreds of angry wasps.

The Zheng sailors of the lucky boat were joking when they suddenly saw a ball of black dots rushing away. They wanted to avoid it, but they were joking. They suddenly felt the pain of hundreds of insects like flesh. It was okay if they were bombarded to death, but the ones who were not dead were screaming.

The sailors who controlled the giant crossbows lost at least one hundred. Although there were only six cannons, they were powerful. In the shock, the sailors avoided one after another, and who would dare to operate the giant crossbows?

At this time, the giant crossbows of sea vehicles and ships also began to show their power. It was not only the Zheng family that had giant crossbows. The Ma Jun of the Machinery Factory was an expert in the research and development of giant crossbows. Each of the six warships had four giant crossbows to attack the flagship where Zheng Jing was located. The sails burned him into a hornet's nest.

"Call the call, charge. Go." Wu Song issued an order.

Because the range of the long snake cannon is only 150 meters to 200 meters, it must rush to exert the power of the long snake cannon.

"Retreat, go back." Zheng Jing issued an order.

Master Wang said, "You are the leader, you can't retreat. The ship is in trouble. It's too late to retreat. If you are so close, you can't retreat. Only by fighting to the death and jumping into the ship, our sailors will be able to win with rich experience."

"What a fight to the death. There are so many people who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers. If I had known this, why would I provoke them?" Zheng Jing cursed.

It was too late to turn the head of the eighteen lucky ships, and the long snake cannon fired. This kind of melee cannon was shot one by one. It was almost difficult to kill people because of its low power, but the person who bombed would lose his combat power and scream.

The six lucky ships at the bottom were almost crippled. Zheng Jing's flagship ran fast because of the many sailors.

Tang Bin led two warships to fire, separating the six behind the brigade from the brigade. General Weiyuan's artillery opened fire and bombarded the lucky ships in front, causing the six lucky ships to gradually leave the fleet far away.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Wu Song issued an order to board the ship.

Li Kui led fifty guards with big axes to take the lead, and turned over the merchant ship through a hooked ladder. He first cut two Pu swords. Li Kui's big axe was separated and chopped over with his backhand. He pushed forward, and three or four enemy soldiers blocking the road were pushed. The axe soldiers came from behind. First, they used flying axes to clear the sailors running around on the deck, and then the team moved forward and quickly controlled the ship. It turned out that the lucky ship was hit too badly by artillery, and there were less than thirty people left by the hundred and ten sailors.
