Chapter 1468 The first naval battle
Ten gunpowder bags as big as millstones flew out in a row. At that time, everyone's attention was on the sky, watching the ten gunpowder bags fly up to the high place and then fall.
boom!
The first explosive gunpowder pack did not fall on the collision ship, but exploded at a height of about a few feet above the enemy ship. A huge fireball quickly eroded around, and the people on the ship were swept away.
The dense clusters of arrows were full of holes, and the collision boat was already carrying dry firewood and other things to hit Daning's warship. As soon as the gunpowder pack exploded, it burned directly before the Sanren lit the things.
Wang Gendong held up his eyes and watched the collision ship being ignited and ordered: "Fu Bo, a formation, sink their collision ship."
In the interval between the ten Wanjun warships, Fubo warships began to move forward, forming formations in front of the Wanjun warship. There were already more than a dozen warships in front of the Wanjun warship as frigates. Now, after the reinforcements of Fubo arrived, there could be thirty or forty warships lined up in front.
The soldiers on the bow of the ship quickly turned the ropes, and the creaking sound made people feel a little excited. The ropes tightened, and heavy crossbow arrows with thick legs were loaded in. When they were loading the heavy crossbow arrows, the second row of gunpowder bags flew out in the sky.
There was another explosion, and three or four collision ships were blown up and sank.
"put!"
With a command, dozens of heavy crossbow arrows on Fubo warships exploded out at almost the same time. Unlike gunpowder bags flying high altitudes, these heavy crossbow arrows flew out straight, with a much faster speed than gunpowder bags.
With one muffled sound, the Sanren collided ship was penetrated one after another. The heavy crossbows used on the warship were different from those used by the army. They were more suitable for breaking through the enemy warships and causing larger holes.
The San people's collision boat began to enter the water, and the sinking speed was very fast.
The third row of gunpowder packs flew out, and most of the collision ships had been bombed and sunk. The nearest collision ship was about one mile away from the Daning warship. At this time, the Daning Iron Rhino warship had moved to the front. They were the fleet's assault ship and the last layer of defense.
More than 20 collision ships of the Sang people sank under the continuous attack of gunpowder packs and heavy crossbow arrows, failing to cause an impact on Daning's sea ships.
"attack!"
"call!"
There were waves of war drums coming from Wang Gendong's Wanjun warship, one by one, like thunder.
The moment the war drums started to sound, the heavy iron rhinoceros began to exert force forward, like a rhino running on the sea, with an extremely domineering momentum.
On the side of the Sangren Fleet, the fleet commander was General Tenghui Sanyu. He had a decisive expression on his face, because not long ago, his two sons died one after another, his eldest son Tenghui committed suicide to his country, and his second son Tenghui was killed in Ningren's baggage camp.
He was the vanguard general of the Sang Kingdom Navy. It was precisely because of his hatred from his two sons that Takaihara named him the vanguard officer. Takaihara believed that such a person could fight to the death for Sang Kingdom.
However, Tenghui and Sanyu were not the only one who had the final say in this vanguard fleet. On his largest flagship Shenmu warship, there was a middle-aged man wearing a royal robe sitting on a chair and looking forward.
He is Takaihara's uncle Takai Yuntai, and was named Prince by Takaihara.
"His Royal Highness."
Tenghui Sanyu strode to Gaojing Yuntai and leaned over and said, "Please return to the back army in a small boat. Ningren's collision boat is coming. For the safety of His Highness the Prince, please leave immediately."
"leave?"
Takai Yuntai was already sixty years old, but he was an extremely warlike man. Takaihara originally didn't plan to let him go out for war at his age, but he refused. He vowed to be the first to ascend to the land of Daning.
"I will not leave the general. Just command your fleet to fight and don't let me down."
Gaojing Yuntai looked at Tenghui Sanyu: "I saw the revenge of Yuwang in your eyes. This is very good. Use your revenge anger to burn the Ningren's warships through and let those Ningren be buried in the sea."
"yes!"
Tenghui Sanyu leaned over and bowed, turned around and walked to the bow of the boat, raised his eyes and looked at the battle situation ahead.
"Detect the second batch of collision ships and stop Ningren's collision ships!"
With his orders, the sound of the horn sounded, and the second batch of about twenty collision ships sailed out of the formation. Except for the Dragon Turtle Warships, the other collision ships of the Sang people were very low in cost. Most of them were transformed with merchant cargo ships, and the number was huge.
In the battle of the Sang people, they were accustomed to using such tactics, filling large quantities of requisitioned merchant ships with burning things, and then mobilizing suicide squads to destroy the enemy fleet in this way. This tactic is cruel, but it is very effective. Moreover, there are many of the Sang people who are willing to die for their country in this way, and there are not many.
The San people believed that suicide attacks in war were an act of glory, and they would become heroic spirits after death.
Dozens of seemingly worn-out collision boats rushed towards Daning's iron rhinoceros. Their goal was to exchange one ship for one ship. Daning's iron rhinoceros cost very high, and they only need to exchange one ship for another to make a profit.
Before the Sang Kingdom was unified, there had been more than one naval battle with the Bohai Kingdom. The Bohai Kingdom's fleet was defeated by the pirates of the Sang Kingdom in this way. The Bohai Kingdom's fleet was obviously larger and was also a regular naval force, but it was defeated by the Sang people with such tactics.
The merchant cargo ships stolen by hundreds of pirates in the Sang Kingdom were ignited by them and rushed straight towards the fleet of the Bohai Kingdom. There were people on each fire ship, not pirates, but merchants or fishermen who were coerced by pirates.
In that battle, the Bohai Navy, which had more than 300 warships, was severely injured and lost more than 70% of the warships. Since then, the coastal defense of the Bohai Kingdom was equivalent to opening the door, and the pirates of the Sang Kingdom wantonly invaded, but the Bohai people had no choice but to do anything.
So sometimes it is difficult to understand the Bohai people. They are afraid of being beaten by black warriors, so they are afraid of being beaten by San people, so they are afraid of being beaten by San people, so they are afraid of being beaten by Daning. However, they still think that the Black warriors and the Sang people can help them restore their country.
So Daning had to reluctantly treat the Bohai people like the Black Warriors and Sang people, which led to the Bohai people who now seem to be so respectful and obedient.
Those who are disrespectful and disobedient are all dead.
More than a dozen iron rhino warships began to accelerate towards the Sang Kingdom's fleet, and what came towards them were more than twenty Bohai Kingdom's collision ships. When the two sides were still a few miles away, the Sang people began to ignite the fire and prepared to use their old methods to defeat the Ning Army.
The ones rushing up with the Iron Rhino warship were Xin Jigong's Qin Bing Captain Goldman Sachs, and hundreds of personal soldiers under his command, who were about to rush to the front.
"Prepare to raid!"
Goldman Sachs saw the fireboat coming and roaring, and the soldiers on the Iron Rhino ship quickly gathered at the bow, then raised the shield in their hands, and they squatted on the shield covering their heads.
boom!
The iron rhino warship directly tore the oncoming fire ship. The iron rhino's horns are similar to the rhino horns, but they are not that curved, with stronger impact and stronger. The iron rhino warship exists to hit the ship.
Come.
The Mang people's fire boat thought it could sank the iron rhinoceros, but found that their ship was like a piece of paper in front of the iron rhinoceros, vulnerable.
It seemed that the iron rhinoceros wearing a layer of heavy armor directly cut the fireboat open, and the flames burned over the soldiers' heads. The soldiers under the shield felt a wave of heat, but soon the heat wave passed.
Goldman Sachs stood up and saw half of the fire boats sinking on both sides of the iron rhino.
"Crash towards their flagship!"
Goldman Sachs shouted in a hoarse voice.
The leading iron rhino adjusted its course and rushed towards the enemy fleet.
"Stop it, stop it with a heavy crossbow!"
Tenghui Sanyu shouted loudly.
As the sound of the horn sounded, the warships of the Sang Kingdom in front began to fire heavy crossbows towards the Iron Rhinoceros. However, the warships of the Iron Rhinoceros were surrounded by iron sheets, which was much stronger than the collision ships of the Sang Kingdom. The heavy crossbow hit the Iron Rhinoceros and wiped out a string of Mars but failed to penetrate.
"General."
A subordinate rushed to Tenghui Sanyu: "General, withdraw your troops and wait for the Dragon Turtle warship to come on to fight the Ning army."
"Get out!"
Tenghui Sanyu kicked his hand away with one kick: "Stop their collision ship, hit them, and hit them from the side!"
It was too late to ignite the fire. At this distance, the Sanren's collision boat did not dare to ignite the fire. The wind was on the Ningren's side, and a fireboat would not be able to burn its own fleet if it was accidentally fired.
Behind the Iron Rhino, ten Wanjun and dozens of Fubo warships followed closely.
With a muffled bang, a large warship of Sang Kingdom, Chongxing, was hit by the Iron Rhino. The heavy star warship was slightly smaller than the Wanjun warship, but it was nearly thirty feet long. It felt like being hit by the Iron Rhino, just like a huge and heavy steel ball hitting a tall building.
The tall buildings look bigger, but the pendulum is unstoppable.
The bow of the Chongxing Warship was instantly smashed, and the tail of the warship was raised up.
"Blow the horn."
Wang Gendong pulled out his black thread knife and tied it to his right hand with a white cloth.
"Melee!"
The whimpering horn sounded, and Daning's vanguard fleet began to accelerate.
As the Iron Ridge opened the way, a Wanjun warship rushed into the Sang Kingdom's naval team. The commander of this Wanjun warship was Xie Jiuzhuan. A Sang Kingdom's heavy star warship was about to drive over beside him. How could Xie Jiuzhuan miss such an opportunity?
"pull over!"
He shouted violently.
The crossbow chariot on the side of Wanjun warship began to show its power. The difference is that the heavy crossbow arrows fired this time were all hooked, and there were tough ropes connected to the heavy crossbow. More than a dozen heavy crossbows shot over to hook the enemy's warship. The soldiers on Wanjun began to turn the ropes. With the squeaking sound, the heavy star warship was gradually pulled closer.
The archers on both ships were shooting arrows desperately, but just after the distance was approaching, the crossbow formation chariot installed on the side of Wanjun spewed out the flames. In an instant, thousands of crossbow arrows with [Zero Zero.] were on the storm. The Sang soldiers on the opposite warship could not even lift their heads. The dodging slowed down were beaten into sieves.
More than a dozen scrambles kept stirring, and the heavy star warship of Sang Kingdom was pulled over.
"kill!"
Xie Jiuzhuo pulled the armor on his face down, grabbed the shield and long sword and jumped onto the enemy's warship. Behind him, countless Daning Navy soldiers rushed up one by one.
Chapter completed!
