Seeing a heavy shell blasting the target ship so far into the sky, the soldiers on the ship were not shocked.

After the long-range fire strike was completed, the test firing of the thousand-pound Franc machine began, and the battleship was equipped with 30 thousand-pound Franc machines on one side, and the rate of fire of the guns was fast, and the firing range was relatively close, but the power was not small, second only to the red-coated cannons, and dozens of such guns on one side of the battleship roared at the same time, and the gunpowder was filled, and the range within 5 miles of 200 meters could be covered by firepower, and the earth-shattering water poured into one after another.

With such a powerful firepower, the soldiers on the ship will feel extremely shocked.

After the firepower demonstration, Lin Yi ordered to move forward at full speed, pulling up ten large sails on the giant ship, adjusting the sails according to the wind direction, and the 400 sailors in the cabin worked together, which was equivalent to the giant ship driving at full speed and full speed, this giant cleaved the waves, and the sailing speed could reach more than 13 knots. That is, it can travel about 40 miles in an hour, and then turn around, go upstream, and the speed of sailing is not less than 8 knots, which is about the same as the speed of war horses on average, and this power is quite sufficient in the era when there are no machines.

Through testing the water and testing the firepower, Lin Yi was very satisfied with the speed, stability, long-range and short-range firepower coverage and firepower intensity of this giant warship.

The design of 150 meters long, 60 meters wide, more than 4 meters of draft, and 4 stories high, its size and scale are not worse than a large cruiser of later generations.

Therefore, Lin Yi named it Yangwei.

After the trial was completed, all the 3,000 newly trained sailors were displayed on the deck, fully armed, all in good spirits, and their helmets were bright, which were selected from the 10,000 sailors training camp in Bohai Bay outside the Dagukou Fort in Tianjin, and were used to equip this giant ship.

In addition, Lin Yi's 400 hundred marines also boarded the giant ship, including the female battalion officers, they had never seen such a large ship, and they were all proud the moment they boarded the ship.

Inside the ship, they didn't even think it was a ship, as if they had entered a high-rise building.

Another 7,000 sailors boarded more than 100 ships, and these large and small ships were compared in front of the giant ships, and they all became dwarfs, as if they were a fat old hen with a flock of chicks.

In Lin Yi's standard battalion and invincible battalion, including the guard battalion, 20,000 horses and horses, cooperated with the sailors of this giant ship along the Yangtze River, which was a real land and water advance.

After everything was ready, Lin Yi led the battleship formation to set off from Nanjing, and Shi Kefa, the secretary of Nanjing's military department, led a group of staff to see each other off on the riverbank.

More than 100 warships of all sizes, cleaving the waves in the wind, mighty and mighty, pressing down the river, all kinds of flags on the ship hunted in the river wind, and their first stop was Zhenjiang, an important town on the Yangtze River.

Yan Yingyuan has been fighting in Zhenjiang for a year, and it is difficult to stop the tens of thousands of sailors of Shi Fu and Shi Lang's uncle and nephew from advancing here, but the two sides are only facing each other, and the tens of thousands of Ming troops led by Yan Yingyuan are also unable to retreat from the enemy, but only hold on.

Because the rebels' sailors were too powerful, and the old sailors of the Ming Dynasty were not their opponents at all, and they were defeated and retreated, in this case, Yan Yingyuan built an underwater barrage protection net, and the warships of the judgment army did not pass.

Shi Fu led the army ashore to attack the city, Zhenjiang City was defended like an iron bucket, the wounded soldiers were damaged and attacked for several days and did not attack, Shi Lang led people into the water to try to destroy the protective network of the river, but failed several times, so the two sides were so consumed, waiting for the opportunity.

Lin Yi had already understood the battle situation here in advance, and two days later, his Yangwei battleship formation arrived on the river outside Zhenjiang City. Yan Yingyuan, the defender of Zhenjiang, led the generals to line up on the shore to greet them.

Such a mighty and majestic formation of sailors, especially the giant ship Yangwei coming in the waves, made Yan Yingyuan and other soldiers immediately straighten their eyes, and this giant on the sea made them look excited, and they immediately pointed and talked about it.

"Such a big battleship? One, two, three, four......" A soldier said as he counted the layers of the battleship.

"One, two, three, four...... Twenty-one...... Thirty ...... "Some are counting the number of red-coated cannons and jack-frang machines.

"These thieves look good now."

"The ship is bound to be bulky, Shi Lang and they are all pirates and pirates, I don't know if they can deal with these thieves...... "Some soldiers are worried.

At this time, the battleship formation docked on the shore, and Lin Yi stepped off the deck.

"See Lord Prison." As soon as they saw Yan Yingyuan, he fell to his knees.

The face of this life is red and bearded, and it also makes the big knife, which looks a bit like Guan Yunchang at a narrow glance, with a burly figure and a very majestic style.

"The commander is flat, and there is no courtesy in the army, how is the battle going?" Lin Yi asked him to get up, he valued him very much, this is the second time he has seen Yan Yingyuan, this person is good at guarding, and only he can block Zheng Zhilong's navy, otherwise Nanjing would have been lost this year.

"The subordinates are about to report, the adults are here, the uncles and nephews of the Shi family are fierce and extremely cunning, so that the subordinates are tired of coping on the shore and land, barely supporting, and the soldiers are seriously injured, if the adults don't come again, the subordinates really can't support it for a few days." Yan Yingyuan said with a look of shame.

"To be able to hold Zhenjiang and block the thieves here, the commander has already made a miraculous achievement, and ordered the brothers, dismantle the protective net along the river, see this giant ship, Lin wants them to taste the power of my Daming Yangwei battleship." Lin Yi is confident.

"The subordinates receive orders, and the majesty is mighty, but the thieves are cunning and fierce, and the adults must be more careful."

For Shi Lang Lin Yi has long heard of his name, his reputation was still prominent in the Kangxi era, and his greatest credit was to lead the army to conquer Taiwan and end the situation of long-term confrontation between the two sides of the strait. This person is more complicated, and the grievances and hatreds of the Zheng family are legendary, and he has surrendered several times, although he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he also has the feat of resisting the Qing Dynasty, which cannot be compared with ordinary traitors and thieves.

Before these Lin Yi crossed over, Lin Yi had long known through history books and film and television, and Lin Yi knew that this was a difficult opponent and must not be underestimated.

Yan Yingyuan asked people to immediately dismantle the underwater protective net, and at this time, the standard battalion, the invincible battalion and the guard battalion on the shore also drove outside Zhenjiang City.

With 30,000 horses at once, Yan Yingyuan has the backbone in his heart, this must be Lin Yi's elite, and he doesn't have to be afraid of his Shi family's uncle and nephew on the shore and in the water.

Three days later, all the underwater barrage protective nets were dismantled, and Lin Yi boarded the huge ship, and more than 100 large and small warships lined up on the river, and then advanced as a whole......

At this time, a few miles away Shi Lang and Shi Fu's camp, the uncle and nephew have already been reported, these days their uncle and nephew are worried, this has been a year, tens of thousands of troops have become the end of the strong crossbow here, the war has made no progress, the consumption is so large, how can King Zheng blame it in the future?

But on the shore, they couldn't break through Zhenjiang City, they thought of any way, the Ming army held the city just didn't fight, and their warships couldn't cross the underwater barrage protective net, and they thought of a lot of ways to no avail, how long did it take?

King Zheng wanted them to take Nanjing as soon as possible, but this Zhenjiang was too difficult to fight, all the way was like a bamboo, and the Ming Kingdom was defeated in a row, so it was simply vulnerable, but I didn't expect it to run aground here. The Ming army just held on without fighting, and they had a headache.

The two of them were discussing the strategy of breaking the enemy, someone came to report, indicating that the army came to reinforce the army, and the Ming Supervisor personally boarded the ship to supervise the battle, this time there were about 30,000 people in the Ming army, and among the more than 100 warships, there was a king-size warship, which was simply a giant on the sea. Yan Yingyuan has already dismantled the underwater barrage protection, and it seems that they are about to fight a decisive battle with the Great Commander.

"Hahaha......" Shi Lang couldn't help laughing, "God help me!" ”

Shi Fu was calmer than him, "Don't underestimate the enemy, the surname Lin is powerful, this time the person must not be good, we still send two troops." ”

Shi Lang nodded, and secretly gritted his teeth, did he Lin Yi really dare to fight us at sea? It's just a big ship, I, Shi Lang, will definitely let them go up in smoke!

Then the uncle and nephew divided the labor, water and land went hand in hand, they thought that as long as they could defeat this water division, Zhenjiang would be at their fingertips, and then they would be able to repair any protective nets.
