27. The Battle of Sanmen Bay

"Attack."

With Li Gongzuo's order, the standard-bearer immediately issued the order in flag. The forward ships of the Song army, which had entered the battle distance, took the lead in attacking the Jin army.

The Song army's fleet was divided near Dongtou Island off the coast of Wenzhou. Li Gongzuo led 262 large and small warships to launch an attack on the Jin army and naval forces in Sanmen Bay. The offensive fleet consisted of two large Shenzhou, ten small Shenzhou, sixteen 2,000-material warships, 180 1,000-material warships, 14 ironclad ships, 36 500-material warships, and 16 500-material warships. The generals of the navy include Long Haishan, Liang Bin, Chen Wan, Xu Hai, Xu Jiang, Meng Lanjun and others.

The rest of the warships, led by Zhang Yuan, Feng Rong, Zheng Sihai and others, were more than 30 miles behind, turned northeast in the waters of the Taizhou archipelago, and sailed into the Yushan archipelago to ambush, preparing to attack the reinforcements of the Jin army.

The Song army discharged a spindle array, with two small Shenzhou and four 2,000-material warships at the beginning, and at this time, the meridian was less than 300 paces away from the three warships at the forefront of the Jin army. This distance entered the range of the Song army's attack.

The sharp sound of "woo, woo, woo" broke the sky all over the sea, and nearly 100 arm-thick crossbow guns from the first round of the six Song warships roared across the sea and fired towards the Jin army's warships. Half of them fell into the sea, and most of the remaining ballistas hit the side of the ship, plunged deep into the hull, or hit the sails, passed through the sails, and landed less than twenty on the deck.

But this was only the first wave of blows from the Song army, and then the second and third waves, and more and more crossbow guns followed and fired again. Some of the Jin soldiers who were shot by the ballista fell into the sea, and some were pierced by the ballista and firmly nailed to the deck of the ship, but due to the distance limit, the Jin army could not return fire for the time being. Although the casualties were not large, Yijing caused a lot of pressure on the Jin army, and the Jin soldiers on the deck found various shelters to hide. The captain kept urging the sailors who were rocking the waterwheel and rowing the oars below the deck to hurry up so that they could get closer to the Song army so that they could return fire.

After seven or eight rounds of crossbows, the three large building ships in the front line of the Jin army finally entered the attack range, and also began to fire crossbow guns at the Song army. And more and more ships joined the warband.

At this time, the Song army fired not only crossbow guns, but also firearms within a distance of 200 paces. The six warships at the forefront of the Song army took the lead in firing together, shooting dozens of smoke balls, thunderstorms, thistle fireballs, and heavy oil bombs, and flew towards a large building ship of the Jin army that had entered this attack range.

Because the blows were too concentrated, the large building ship of the Jin Army immediately let out a dozen huge roars in a row, almost covering the roar of the crossbow guns piercing the atmosphere. In the flying wood chips, countless Jin soldiers were hit by the iron pieces shot out of the explosion, and died, and on the side of the ship, on the deck of the ship, and on the ship's floor, several holes were blown open by the thunder, and there were fires in many places, even the sails were burned on both sides, and the entire hull was shrouded in smoke.

The Jin army on the ship did not care about attacking the Song army at this time, and was like a swarm of headless flies scurrying around, braving choking smoke, extinguishing fires, pulling sails, and rescuing the wounded. The commander of this ship, General Jin, was sweating profusely, and he couldn't stop shouting and shouting orders.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone under the deck shouting: "Oh no, the water has entered, the ship is leaking." ”

Hearing this voice, the golden soldiers on the ship were even more confused, and the main general was so anxious that he shouted: "Block, block, we must block the leakage." ”

After hearing the order, the Jin army on the deck hurriedly ran below the deck to plug the leak, but the sailors below the deck ran to the deck again in order to escape for their lives.

At this time, someone screamed: "Can't stop it, the gap is too big, and the ship is going to sink." ”

…………

Immediately afterwards, the Song army aimed the spearhead at another building ship, and at this time, the Song army had two more warships into the firing range, and the eight warships fired together, and fired nearly 100 smoke balls, thunder, and tribulus fireballs in a row.

Although it was on a warship, Moran Sqita still subconsciously took two steps back. The two armies have not yet fully contacted, and they thought that two large building ships were completely lost by the Song army, and this result could not help but wipe out the beggar tower to feel a little frustrated, but he did not expect the Song army's firearms to be so powerful, and the density of the attack was obviously much greater than the last time in the East China Sea War.

After the Jin army captured Lin'an, it captured a group of craftsmen, although it also imitated some throwing firearms such as thunder and oil bombs, but the number was limited, and all of them were distributed to the land army, and the navy has never been the focus of the Jin army, so none of them were distributed. At present, the main firearms of the navy are still firearms such as rockets and fireballs. However, rockets and fire crossbows are only effective if they are within a hundred paces. It was only at this time that he was a little skeptical that his decision to go to war with the Song army was too rash.

But now that the war is on the way, it is impossible to stop the warship, so the Taranshi Qita hurriedly ordered the standard-bearer to issue an order, so that all the warships of the Jin army are scattered, and the distance between them and the warships of the Song army is shortened as soon as possible, and the Song army is attacked with rockets and fire crossbows, and at the same time strive to get close to the warships of the Song army, and implement the pedaling force, so as to give full play to the advantages of the large number of people in the Jin army's ships.

It was the first time to watch the water battle, Bi Zaiyu and the others were all concentrated on Li Gongzuo's flagship building at this time, watching the Song army's victory in the first battle, and everyone couldn't help but high-five. Only Li Gongzuo stood on the command platform, closely watching everything on the sea, and it was obvious that the Jin army's water combat capability had been greatly improved compared with before, the formation change was more rapid, and the ability to control ships was much more proficient than before, and it was not unreasonable to win the first battle in the East China Sea at the beginning.

However, despite this, Li Gongzuo was still full of confidence in the victory, and issued one order after another in response to the arrangement of the Jin army, which was passed on by the standard-bearer to other warships.

However, not every ship of the Song army is equipped with a large number of firearms, only Shenzhou, two thousand warships can be equipped with a large number of firearms, although at the beginning of the paralysis of two large ships of the Jin army, but the Song army threw out nearly three hundred throwing firearms in one go, this is just to give the Jin army a dismount, the Song army is impossible to every enemy ship such a random firearms regardless of the cost, most of the 1,000 warships are still rockets, fire crossbows as the main attack weapons.

After seeing that the formation of the Jin army was dispersed, the Song army warships that entered the firing range gradually slowed down to maintain a distance from the Jin army's warships, and they were all launched after the accurate stroke, so as to improve the accuracy of firearms strikes, and the targets used to hit with firearms were mainly placed on the large ships of the Jin army. The other 1,000 warships also filled the gap between the big ships, attacking the Jin army's warships with rockets and fireballs, and preparing to wait for the Jin army's warships to approach and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Although the Jin warships were still hit, the blows were much smaller than the first two warships, and the Song army also began to be hit by the Jin army, so the Jin army still approached the Song army again.

When the fleets of the two sides were about a hundred paces apart, the two sides began to fire at each other with bows and arrows, and for a time the arrows that flew back and forth were like locusts, covering almost the entire surface of the sea. At least half of the rained arrows were rockets, sending out a sharp whistling and shooting at their respective targets. In the rain of arrows, there were countless stones and fireballs, flying in the sky, and many ships of the Song army and the Jin army were burned by rockets, and a large amount of smoke was brought out, and the entire sea suddenly began to be filled with smoke.

The soldiers on both sides fought back against the enemy, and on the other hand, they were busy extinguishing the flames on their ships, firing arrows, pulling sails and cables, and watering and filling the soil. However, because the firearms of the Song army were much more powerful than the rocket fire crossbows, and the distance was closer, and the accuracy was higher, the losses of the Song army were much smaller than those of the Jin army.

At this moment, two convoys suddenly sailed out from the Song army's formation, each with fifteen ships, each headed by seven ironclad ships, with a small Shenzhou, three 2,000-material warships, and five 1,000-material warships, and rowed quickly towards the Jin army's formation.

After this period of trial and error, and after the test of actual combat, compared with the first batch of ironclad ships, the second batch of ironclad ships manufactured by Song Jun is not only stronger, not to mention, more flexible in control, and faster. And there are two kinds of large and small, the small ironclad ship is 1,200 materials, which is the same size as the first batch of ironclad ships, and the large ironclad ships are 2,000 materials, and at the same time, the bow of each ironclad ship is equipped with sharp iron, and the sides are equipped with side blades, which can be used to ram the enemy ship at close range. Now among the twenty-four ironclad ships of the Song army, there are six large ironclad ships, and this time Li Gongzuo brought four.

In Jin Jun's eyes, this is a kind of ship that has never been seen before, the whole body is inky black, that is, there is no shipbuilding, there is no deck, the entire roof is inlaid with several scaly iron leaves, like a huge turtle shell, covering the entire hull, only exposing the mast and sail canopy, and on the top cover and side side, there are also many sharp iron cones and sharp knives, shaped like a hedgehog.

What kind of strange ship is Song Jun using? Although the Schiggar Ta didn't understand it either, the general's instinctive instinct felt that this ship would definitely not be ordinary. The other Jin troops also had the same idea, and these ironclad ships rushed to the forefront of the Song army, so they naturally became the first target of the Jin army, so rockets, fire crossbows, stones, etc., all gathered at once and shot at these strange ships.

But the arrows seemed to be useless to this strange ship, and when they hit the "turtle shell", they made a sound of gold and iron impacting, and they were bounced off one after another, falling into the sea, and even more than ten pounds of stones smashed into it without any reaction, and the strange ship still rushed towards the Jin army's ship formation.

Moran Sqita let out an exclamation, "Is this the Iron Float?" ”
