The firepower of the warships of the Ming army's naval divisions, from the front and both flanks, attacked the turtle ships of the Wei army.

Under the strangulation of artillery on three sides, even the turtle boat covered with iron sheets could not bear it, and the turtle boat capsized from time to time on the river, and the river was full of Wei soldiers shouting for help.

The Wei soldiers were mainly northerners, and most of them did not know water, and even if they knew water, it was difficult to swim across the Yangtze River.

The Ming ships were on the side of the ship, the artillery roared, and thick gunpowder smoke rose on the river, and the orange cannon flames flickered in the smoke.

"Bang!" A cannonball hit Gao Chengxun's boat, the cannonball tore through the deformed iron plate, shot into the turtle boat, and directly hit the Wei army sitting on the deck in a straight line.

The cannonballs smashed over, and the bodies of the soldiers in the front row were torn apart, instantly turning into countless broken limbs, and blood and shredded flesh splattered on all sides, blurring the faces of the soldiers next to them, making people unable to breathe, and leaving a shadow forever.

For a while, the blood mist sprayed on the deck, and the iron bullet was not exhausted, hitting the stern from the bow to the stern, smashing the entire Wei sergeant to death.

On the deck, the wounded soldiers began to howl miserably, their heads broken by the shells, their hands and feet broken, lying in pools of blood, their bodies curled up, shaking violently and spasming.

The red flowing blood, the miserable white stumps, and the colorful intestines, the picture is shocking, and many soldiers who are already seasick vomit wildly.

A cannonball hit the deck caused confusion among the soldiers above, but in the cabins below deck, the sailors were unaffected and did not know what was going on above, but leaned forward neatly, and then leaned back, rocking the oars, rowing the ship, and continuing on.

They didn't know what was going on until blood dripped through the crack and fell on the sailor's face, but it was far from it, and the impact of seeing the ground was shocking, and it didn't have much effect on the oarsman.

"Row, don't stop, or we'll all be buried underwater!" The officer below suddenly let out a sharp cry when he saw that the oarsman was slow.

On the river, the Wei army's remodeled multi-oared Mengchong ship continued to rush forward under the strangulation of three-sided artillery.

Zheng Sen was a little shocked when he saw that in the splashing column of water, the Wei warships continued to move forward in the face of artillery fire.

These ships did not fight back, but just rushed forward desperately, like a bison with its tail on fire.

"Boom!" With a sound, the artillery in the bow of the Wei army fired shells, and the fleets of the two armies were already close at hand.

The Ming fleet, with its side aimed at the Wei warships, and the Wei army's bow aimed at the Ming army, was about to break through the barrier of the naval division and pounce on the south bank.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the side of Zheng Sen's ship suddenly exploded, and an iron bullet swept across the deck with countless pieces of wood chips.

A gunner was on the side of the ship, and was directly hit by an iron bullet, his head was directly shattered, his body flew upside down, a burst of blood mist sprayed on the deck, and the shell hit several people in succession, and finally broke through the side of the ship on the other side and fell into the sea.

"Ah!!h

The screams of bitterness and pain also rang out on the Ming boat.

Although there are many guns on the side of the Ming warships, but the Wei warships, the bow is facing the Ming ship, the bomb area is small, and it is not easy to be hit, although the Wei army only has a gun on the bow, but the Ming ships cross the Chen River, and the distance is close, a round of artillery smashed, it actually caused a lot of damage to the Ming army.

"Guns and rockets are ready!" Seeing that Wei Chuan was like a mad cow that was not afraid of artillery fire, and in the blink of an eye, there were only thirty steps left between the two armies, Zheng Sen immediately ordered.

A large number of Ming gunners poured to the side of the ship, fired a volley of guns, and rockets whizzed towards the Wei warships, trying to burn them, but the muskets hit the Wei ships, only sparks splashed, and the rockets were also talked about into the water.

"Iron Ship!" The soldiers of the Ming army exclaimed.

At this time, on the Wei army's turtle boat, a rod of muskets stretched out from the shooting fear, and the Wei army's musketeers in the warehouse pulled the trigger together, and the "bang, bang" gunfire rang out, and the turtle boat was immediately filled with gunsmoke.

The Wei army's muskets were fired in unison, and the Ming army had no iron plate protection on its side, and they were beaten by mistake and were not in a hurry, and the soldiers who stood by the ship to launch rockets, and the gunners who operated the artillery, were knocked down by the muskets one after another.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, a turtle boat crashed into the side of the Fukufu.

The Ming army's Fu ship was hit and rolled to its side, and the soldiers and artillery on the deck rolled down into the river, and the Wei army Meng Chong raised the bow high, almost pressing on the side of the Ming army's Fu ship, making the Wei soldiers fall backwards one after another, and below the deck, the sailors who paddled were also turned on their backs.

At this time, the ships gradually fell back and separated under the interaction.

Gao Chengxun immediately yelled, "Paddle, rush over!" ”

In the cabin, the sailors steadied themselves in the violent shaking, grabbed the oars, and shook one after another.

The ship that had just fallen back forwarded again and hit the Fu boat again, and the Ming soldiers on board fell down in large numbers, and then quickly got up again and threw fire cans at the Wei army.

The second impact was not as powerful as the first, and the bow of the Wei army did not rush to the side of the Fu boat, but against him, pushing the Fu boat in a horizontal formation, turning ninety degrees on the river, and then passing by.

Zheng Sen slammed his fist on the ship's floor, "Quick, leash them with ropes, don't let them rush over!" ”

Although the Wei army turtle boat could not defeat the Ming army sailors and was in a passive position, his defensive power was amazing, and he only cared about rushing forward, but it also made it difficult for the Ming army sailors to stop him.

For a time, more than 120 turtle boats, under the bombardment of the artillery of the Ming army's naval divisions, some rushed halfway and sank into the water, while others dragged their scarred bodies and rushed onto the river beach on the south bank.

When a turtle boat docked, the iron plate on the bow of the boat was immediately put down, and the Wei sergeant with a musket immediately jumped into the waist-high water, holding a musket, a shield and a war knife, and wading ashore.

On the river beach, the Wei army rushed out, and the soldiers came out of the cabin, and some soldiers also pushed out a small boat from the cabin, and there was a cannon in the boat, and the soldiers pushed the boat out of the cabin, and then waded to the shore.

At this time, as the soldiers and supplies disembarked, the load of the turtle boat was lightened, the boat floated, and the sailors rowed their oars upside down and headed for the north shore.

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, Gao Yihuan stood on the watchtower that was built, saw the Wei army ships with a clairvoyant mirror, rushed to the shore, and in an instant, countless black shadows spread all over the river beach, and his heart became excited.

Gao Yihuan put down the clairvoyant mirror, raised his arms and waved his fist, "Okay!" Rushed over! ”

The Wei soldiers waded ashore on the water, stepping on the river beach on the south bank, and a sense of steadiness came from their feet, but before they could feel it, the Ming army defending on the river beach fired a volley of muskets and artillery bombardment, killing a piece of Wei army!

The Wei troops who boarded the river beach fell down one after another, and the war scene was like Normandy.

Li Yuanyin observed the terrain, if he was pressed on the river beach, the Wei army would inevitably fail, he drew his sword and pointed angrily, "Fire back fire, the killer team will rush with me." ”

After speaking, he jumped up, and the Wei soldiers holding shields got up one after another and rushed towards the Ming army.
