In ancient times, when ghost worship was rampant, the monsters of the sea were of course the protagonists, and there are countless legends about them. And the dragon that can breathe fire and fog and travel clouds and rain is a monster that is both hated and feared. It rejoices in the nectar that comes down from heaven and helps all beings; If he is unhappy, he will overturn the river and the sea, causing the boat to capsize and people to death. What should I do if I can't afford to mess with this kind of thing? You can only offer them up and stay away from them.

Legend has it that there are sea monsters living on the bottom of the sea, and whenever they get angry, they will make waves and overturn passing ships, so the fleet will burn incense and pray and throw sacrifices when they pass here. Today, when the two armies were chasing and fighting fiercely here, they suddenly rushed out from more than a dozen strange things that spit out clouds and mist, and the dragon with spikes on their bodies did not look like a dragon, and the turtle did not look like a turtle, which was already scary enough. But before he could come back to his senses, there was thunder on the sea, and meteors fell from the sky.

The number of Han troops in the Yuan army has been more than half, including many of the original Song Dynasty sailors who defected, but they have heard of the legend of the Qizhou Ocean Sea Monster haunting, plus the emperor of the old country who pursued this time was already a little weak-hearted, seeing these monsters appear, he immediately thought that retribution was coming, so he couldn't help but want to run in a panic, and there were not a few people who had the same idea as them, and the boat on the right wing moved closer to the middle. However, as a result, the spacing between the ships was reduced, and the hit rate of the falling rockets increased, which caused even more confusion.

The dragon ship accelerated closer under the cover of smoke and rockets, and when it reached two hundred paces, the bow ballista began to fire, firing chain shells. After firing, one cannonball will drag another cannonball centrifugal and fly out, so it will tear a large hole in the sail, or tear the rigging, and if you are lucky, you can even tear off the mast and paralyze the enemy ship, mainly to limit the movement of the enemy ship. In addition, chain bullets also have an important role, which is cutting. The fast-spinning chain bullet can easily slice through enemies, making it a terrifying weapon.

However, the role of chain bullets is more reflected in the killing of masts and sails, so the first time to launch chain bullets is to make the enemy ship lose power and reduce the speed, so that the imperial fleet can get rid of the pursuit of the enemy army and get out quickly. On the other hand, the enemy ships in the front team stalled and stopped, and the ships behind did not mean that they could stop if they wanted to stop, and they would rush forward by relying on inertia, and they would collide with each other if they were not careful.

"Good, good fight!" Zhao Yu shouted excitedly, the hit rate of the ballista itself is very high, coupled with the large sail area, and the chain bullet is a large sweep, just one end can cause huge damage. With this single salvo, more than a dozen enemy ships on the right flank were hit, some of the masts were completely overturned, and some of the sails were torn apart by chain bullets. There are also chain bullets that hang on the sail cables, causing the ropes to be mixed together, like a mess, and it is impossible to adjust the direction.

"Turn the rudder to the left, the ship is due north, the lookout compartment is lowered, the roof and the right crossbow window of the top compartment are closed, and the starboard gun is ready for fire. A4, A5 and A6 were loaded with large stone bullets to attack the enemy's side; The rest of the gun emplacements fire crossbow arrows to kill and wound enemy sailors! When the warship was a hundred meters away from the enemy fleet, he received an order to turn to the opposite side of the enemy ship, and Zhang Hao gave the order.

"Well, it's fine." Zhao Hao only felt that after the turn of the warship began, the hull of the warship tilted to the left, but it returned to normal in a moment, and the speed continued to move forward without slowing down, showing the good maneuverability and stability of the dragon ship. He looked out, and some of the ships in front of him continued to fire chain bullets to destroy the sails of the enemy ships, some fired crossbow arrows to attack the enemy soldiers on the deck, and the rear was responsible for checking for leaks and trying to paralyze them after the fleet.

The crossbow window was closed, and Zhao Hao could not see the attack of the ship, and could only watch the battle situation ahead through the front porthole. The stone projectile fired by the ballista is actually a stone, and the outside is wrapped in porcelain clay and fired into shape, which can ensure that the size is basically the same, which is convenient for firing and ensuring accuracy; Second, after hitting the target, the stone projectile can still hurt people after it explodes into fragments, so as to expand the killing range. At a distance of eighty paces, the ballista can be aimed directly, so the hit rate is very high, and the power is also exerted to the extreme.

"Lower the depression angle and hit the waterline of the ship!" Zhao Hao shouted loudly. He found that the stone projectiles fired by the ballista were enough to penetrate the gunwales of the enemy ships, but it was somewhat regrettable that it was difficult to sink the ships, and some of the enemy ships suffered several attacks, and one side of the gunwald was smashed with more than a dozen holes more than two feet in size, and it was still able to move normally, which made him have to break his silence and give a warning.

"Yes! Lowers the depression angle and attacks the enemy ship below the waterline. Zhang Hao also discovered this problem, and immediately implemented it after being reminded by His Royal Highness.

Zhao Hao had no time to watch the results of the battle behind, mainly because he couldn't see it if he wanted to, he could only stare at the front, only to see the soldiers on the enemy ship fleeing in all directions like headless flies, and the arrow tower and female wall that were enough to resist the bow and crossbow on weekdays could not block the attack of the ballista at all, not to mention the stone bullets, even the large crossbow arrows could pierce the wooden planks two or three inches behind, and hiding there was equivalent to closing the door and being beaten. And it was not safe to escape to the deck, the crossbow bolts fired from the repeating ballistas were not only powerful, but also fast, and the shield covered with cowhide was easily shot through like paper, and after several baptisms, it was already a corpse, and the blood flowed like a river.

While the dragon ships attacked, the rocket ships were still relentlessly firing rockets at the passing enemy ship group. Although this thing has a low hit rate, it can cause a lot of damage if it is hit. Zhao Yu alone saw more than a dozen large and small enemy ships being hit, igniting a raging fire, and the sail had turned into a flaming red flag. It caused great panic in the enemy fleet, and avoided the burning ships for fear of being 'infected', so that the formation was scattered and the speed had been reduced.

"Turn the rudder right, turn due east, and attack the rear guard of the enemy fleet!" In a quarter of an hour, the two flotillas, acting oppositely, had already passed by, and the flotilla again turned to attack.

"The rocket ships are out of battle and ready to intercept the enemy's Chinese army, and each ship will attack autonomously and fight quickly!" Guan Tongshou constantly reported the orders of the ship.

"Damn, the Lord has just arrived!" After the ship turned, Zhao Hao, who heard the report, turned his eyes to the northern sea, and a larger fleet emerged from the horizon, seeing that the flag was the Yuan Army Naval Division, with a rough count of no less than four or five hundred ships, lined up in a wide frontal formation, which should be the main force of the Chinese army.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but take a breath when he saw it, the number of enemy troops was much more than the earlier estimate, and the imperial fleet had already escaped the pursuit, but there was no sign of stopping, but sailed away. If it seemed like an impossible task to rely on their dozen dragon ships to intercept the enemy brigade, shouldn't they continue to attack with the power of the first victory? Zhao Hao hesitated a little...... (To be continued.) )
