At that time, both teams were lined up in a line on the river, and when the two sides were three hundred paces away, the Tatar navy saw that the opponent had dropped sails in the center of the river, and had also fallen on the rocks...... They were so happy, they were waiting for me to hit them!

Hurry up, rush up and cut them all down the water!

When they were almost two hundred paces, they saw the opponent's navy busy on the boat, doing everything. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the Great Song Navy Army had been trained for more than a month, they were still a little panicked when they encountered actual combat.

Although they defeated the Tatar bandit group once, the prestige of the Tatars was still prominent, and those Han sailors who had grown up by the river followed Liu Cheng into the Tatar navy, but they had momentum in morale!

In fact, this psychological transformation can be studied as a psychological subject.

When the power of civilization is not enough, clinging to evil can make people feel incomparably stronger.

The Great Song Navy is a little chaotic, but their helmsman is the highest level in this time and space.

The helmsmen of the three sand boats immediately lowered the triangular balance rudder a bit, which gave the helmsman more control over the bow of the sand boat!

The balance rudder invented by the Great Song Dynasty could be raised and lowered to accommodate navigation in the deep sea and anchoring in shallow bays, and European shipbuilders in this time and space only learned about the rudder from the Arabs in the 10th century, and it was not until the 18th century that the balance rudder began to be used.

The fan of this balanced rudder has an unequal triangular shape, and the rudder rod is placed in the rear half of the fan.

The unequal triangular shape can reduce the swing moment of the rudder fan plane, which can make the rudder more labor-saving, and has a better effect on controlling the course of the ship.

The bows of the three sand boats of the Great Song Navy were always facing the direction of the Tatar Navy on the river, which was conducive to the two stone cannons on the bow of the ship!

The Thunderbolt gunners seemed to be more proficient in practice, and they quickly pulled down the shaft, which was quickly lifted up by a 200-kilogram block of lead at the tail of the shaft.

Wait until the other person is in a similar position. The gunner shouted, "Light the fuse!" ”

The deputy immediately lit the lead on the thunderbolt with the fire rope, and then they slammed down the trigger that held the drawstring, and with six rumbling bangs on the deck, six round thunderbolts flew towards the three Tatar ships in succession!

The gunners didn't care if their thunderbolt hit, and immediately loaded the next ...... But the sailors on the sand boat were different, and they looked in the direction of the six thunderbolts with anticipation. Some people even shouted, "I want to be hit, I want to be hit!" ”

During the usual exercises, of course, they have seen the power of the thunderbolt cannon, and they have also launched it in actual combat on the Han River, as long as they launch more, there is always a chance to win...... However, this time it was missed, and all six thunderbolts fell into the water!

Everyone sighed in unison. The sound was loud enough to reach the shore.

And there were people on the other side of the shore watching.

Six thunderbolts fell into the water on the bows of the three Tatar battleships, causing a wave to fly a foot high!

This frightened the Tatar sailors, and if this iron ball hit the ship, it would kill people!

They were able to put stone cannons on the ship, no wonder they stopped the ship like this!

Their helmsman was also highly skilled, and hurriedly turned the rudder, trying to separate the array farther away...... But it was too late, and the second wave of iron balls hit. Two of them smashed into the boat, but luckily they flew slower. The Tatar sailors had already dodged away, hehe, they didn't hit......

Everyone looked at the iron ball rolling on the deck and wanted to laugh, it turned out that it was not heavy, but it couldn't smash through the two-foot-thick deck, could it be hollow?

Those with sharp eyes saw that the iron ball seemed to have smoke...... But before he could call out. With two booms, two large red fireballs rang out on their warship!

Even though it was only at the level of black fire/medicine, the shattered pig iron shards were like sharp scythes, destroying the surrounding objects one by one, and even harvesting lives!

In front of living organisms. It has the right of first refusal......

The third, fourth, and fifth waves came, and all three ships of the Tatar Navy were bombed, and the ships whose helmsmen were killed soon became directionless and drifted down the river, and the sail ropes of some ships were blown up, and the mainsails fell with a bang, so that they increased the probability of being beaten......

After eight rounds were played, the captain of the three sand boats of the Great Song Navy shouted loudly and asked the helmsman to beat the sand boat horizontally.

It's time to use the five-bed crossbow on the side side...... At this time, the two sides were less than 100 paces away.

In fact, they have been drifting along the river all the time, but the warships of the Tatar navy have not dropped their sails, and their speed is faster than them.

The helmsman of the Great Song Navy immediately lifted the lifting and balancing rudder for a while, half out of the water...... At the same time, with a smile and a slogan, the ingot lifters quickly pulled the stone pier up; The sail drivers, shouting slogans, raised the sails with joy, and they found that it was the same as the usual exercise...... The Tatar navy is no match anymore!

Taking advantage of the wind, they made a sideways turn on the river, and by this time, their bed crossbows were ready, and watching as the deputy lit the fuse, their crossbowmen smashed the trigger with a mallet!

At this time, the two sides were only a few dozen steps away, and because of the continuous explosion just now, the sailors on the warship, some of them ran around, some hid in the cabin, and some ran into the river, and they could see that they were desperately swimming towards the shore......

A dozen bolts as thick as the boy's arm and a bamboo tube flew towards the three warships of the Tatar navy!

At this distance, there are basically no misses, except for one or two missing, the others are either stuck on the deck or on the side of the ship......

Seeing this, the captains of the Great Song Navy immediately ordered them to leave, and there was no need to shoot a second batch of crossbow arrows...... If they catch fire right away, they'll hurt themselves!

A few helmsmen struggled to pull the balance rudder, quickly turned their heads, and at this time changed to a smooth sail, he was far faster than the three warships that were basically out of control!

Not far away, two of the three Tatar ships caught fire, and the sailors on one of them extinguished the fire!

Then they came again...... This is where the benefits of balanced rudders come into play, as they are far easier to operate than other rudder classes.

They drew zigzags on the river, carefully avoiding the two warships that had already landed, for if they were allowed to come together, they would be doomed to the wooden ships.

They ignored the sailors who jumped into the river, and the target was the ship that had already extinguished the fire...... Then the boat landed, and they lowered the boat and went to catch the sailors who were diving.

Some of the sailors who swam fast ran ashore, and those who were still in the water were caught by the boats they had put down!

In short, they won a big victory.

There is no artillery on both sides of this time and space, and in real history, the earliest artillery will have to wait for another ten years, and it is the first equipment of the naval army commanded by Zhang Hongfan, or the one that is loaded with stone bullets and hits at most 20 meters, at this level, it also wiped out the last naval army of the Great Song Dynasty.

If it weren't for Zhang Guoan and others, the Tatar bandit group, a nation that had just come out of tribal culture, could take the lead in completely defeating the Great Song Dynasty with the most advanced weapons in this time and space by virtue of the development of war, which is really speechless.

At this time, the news of their first victory reached the nearby city of Ezhou.

Wang Wan, the ruler of the Ezhou naval army, was very envious of the equipment of the naval army of Jinghu and the envoy Lu Wende. (To be continued.) )
