Chapter 335: Naval Battle

When the Wei Han fleet was discovered on the Qin army's side, the Wei Han people naturally discovered the Qin army's fleet a long time ago. The leader of the fleet of the Wei Han people is called Wei Shengjin, Wei Shengjin is the royal family of Wei Han, and he is also the most proficient in naval warfare among the Wei Han people, and it can even be said that he is the most proficient in naval warfare in the entire Korean Peninsula. Goguryeo's ancestors came from the Shang Dynasty, and because they inherited the characteristics of agriculture and animal husbandry from the Central Plains, Goguryeo preferred to live in the city, so among the three Koreas, Goguryeo's generals were more adept at defending the city. And Weihan's land is mostly on the seaside, and most of the Weihan people are fishermen by the sea, and this kind of personnel composition also makes Weihan the most naval among the three Koreas, and naturally the most powerful naval war among the three Koreas. The Mahan people originally lived in the mountains and forests in the hinterland of North Korea, and were accompanied by wild animals in the mountains and forests all day long, which made the Mahan people short and short, just like big horse monkeys, but Mahan was also the most brave and ruthless among the three Koreans.

Wei Shengjin is the younger brother of the king of Wei Han and the commander of the Wei Han Navy, and almost all the navies of Wei Han are in the hands of this person. Of course, to be able to sit in this position, Wei Shengjin does not rely on his royal status, but on his real strength. Before Ma Han and Wei Han did not jointly deal with Goguryeo, it was Wei Shengjin who led Wei Han's navy to defeat the few navies of Goguryeo and Ma Han, which made Wei Han dominate on the sea.

Wei Shengjin personally climbed onto the watchtower of his turtle boat, and standing on the tower, he rubbed his eyes, and then rubbed his eyes, back and forth many times, and after rubbing his eyes red, he was sure that he was not mistaken.

"Damn, this thing isn't easy to chew." Wei Shengjin looked at the Xianyang in the distance, and then at his turtle boat. It's like a little milk dog that sees a huge cow leg bone. I want to eat it, but I don't know where to eat.

Li Chen's Xianyang sail battleship was 100 meters long and nearly 30 meters high. Wei Shengjin's turtle boat is only 30 meters long and only more than 10 meters high. This turtle ship is still the flagship of his fleet, and the turtle ship behind it is even worse than his one. Even his flagship turtle ship was a younger brother in front of Li Chen's Xianyang, let alone a smaller turtle ship. The damn thing is to be able to get up, the height difference between the two ships is a full twenty meters, and his sailors can't fly, even if they want to climb the Xianyang, it has become a problem.

The view of the sea was very good, and Wei Shengjin couldn't help but feel a little toothache as he looked at the Daqin fleet that was getting closer and closer. I have fought naval battles for more than 20 years, and it is the first time I have encountered such an unspeakable opponent. With his years of experience in naval warfare, Wei Shengjin was able to clearly judge the size of the Qin army's ships.

"Surround and avoid the largest flagship, the small boat behind the target." Wei Shengjin said to the herald beside him.

Based on Wei Shengjin's years of experience in naval warfare, he has already made the clearest judgment on this. The gap between their turtle ship and the Xianyang is too huge, but the gap with the Fu ship behind it is much smaller.

Under the command of Wei Shengjin, more than 100 turtle ships of Wei Han began to wrap towards the Qin fleet in a scattered formation. Naval warfare was Wei Han's forte, because the deck of the turtle ship had a round cover like a turtle shell, which could avoid the attack of long-range arrows in traditional naval warfare to the greatest extent. Once encircled by Wei Han's turtle ship, Wei Han's turtle ship will throw out a hook lock and rush up to the deck of the enemy ship to engage in melee combat.

"Stop the ship and fight." Li Chen shouted at the herald beside him.

Whether it was the Xianyang sail battleship or the Fu ship, the Qin army's guns were installed on the sides of the ship. If you want to shoot with maximum firepower, you have to use the side side of the ship to face the enemy, and of course you can not stop the boat. It's just that now the gunners of the Qin army are also useless half-hangers who have not been in actual combat, and the ship can be more accurate when it stops.

"Wei Shuai, why did they stop the boat, and they still used the side to face us, could it be that they wanted to welcome us on the ship." The generals under Wei Shengjin were a little surprised when they saw the formation of the Qin fleet. He had been fighting naval battles for more than ten years, and the former enemy saw that his fleet was quickly pulling away and maneuvering around the sea. It was the first time that he had encountered such a naval battle after so many years of stopping ships and facing his side against the enemy's fleet. You must know that this side is the easiest place to climb, and facing the side side of the enemy is tantamount to leaking out the weak point.

"Maybe it's a suspicious tactic, leave them alone." Wei Shengjin groaned, he didn't understand what Qin Jun meant by putting on a long snake formation like this, and using the side of the boat against the enemy.

However, he will soon know that this is a naval battle formation of two eras, and he still has the naval battle era of cold weapons, while Li Chen is using the way of fighting the enemy in the era of hot weapons.

"Three, two, one."

"Ignition."

"Boom, boom, boom."

With Li Chen's order, more than fifty ships and thousands of artillery pieces were lit, and dense fires appeared on the sea in an instant, and then Wei Shengjin only saw that something seemed to be crossing the sky on the side of the Qin army.

"Whew, whew, whew."

As the things in the sky got closer and closer, the whistling sound of heavy objects crossing the air was already in my ears, and the smell of burning gunpowder was already in the air, and there were tsunami-like vibrations in the air.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Bang, bang, bang."

The salvo of more than 1,000 artillery pieces of the Qin army, that is to say, more than 1,000 shells smashed towards Wei Han's fleet at the same time. Most of Wei Han's turtle boats are wooden, and except for a few large turtle boats, most of them are not even wrapped in a layer of copper. Where can such a turtle boat withstand the bombardment of shells, and if a solid bullet falls on a turtle boat, it will leave a hole in the boat, and the flowering shell will fall on the boat, causing heavy casualties to the Weihan people on board. Countless shells fell on the sea, and most of the gunners of the Qin army were novices, and they were really a little embarrassed. Most of the shells hit the sea, and only a few shells landed on the turtle boats of the Wei Han people.

The losses of the Wei Han people in this round of shelling were actually not too heavy, only seven or eight ships were fatally wounded and were about to sink, and the rest of the ships were either not hit or suffered some minor injuries that did not affect the overall situation.

"Wei Shuai, it's a cannon, a cannon erected on the city wall by the Goguryeo people." One of the admirals of Wei Han shouted.

They have seen the power of the cannon, and they did not suffer less from cannonballs in the great war with Goguryeo, but fortunately, the Goguryeo people did not have many cannons, and it was difficult to affect the overall situation. Being bombarded by so many cannons today is really the first time for the Weihan people.
