Before Wang Bao could see what it was, the two soldiers standing next to him pulled down the red cloth, revealing the muzzle of the black hole, and the gunner holding Songming was waiting for the command officer's order.

Two small green flags swayed left and right in the flag-bearers on the mast, and according to the distance measured by the observer, the warships of the Song army on the opposite side had already entered the killing range of the Shenyong cannons.

"Put!"

"Put!"

"Put!"

The five battleships that were driving side by side gave the order to ignite almost at the same time, and the helmsman in charge of steering was also preparing in advance, waiting for the first cannon to be fired, turning the ship sideways in the shortest possible time, and continuing to fire with the brave cannon on the side of the side.

"Boom, boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

The sound of the Shenyong cannon was earth-shattering, and the rumbling cannon sound on the wide sea was transmitted at a distance of seven or eight miles, and even Zhang Shijie and the civil and military officials who were commanding on the building ship could hear it clearly.

"What is this sound? Quickly find out and report clearly! ”

Zhang Shijie was shocked, he had a description of the Hongyi cannon in his mind, and as soon as the rumbling cannon sounded, the first thing he thought of was the Hongyi cannon in Guangzhou City, could it be that Zhang Zhensun rebelled, surrendered the Yuan soldiers and carried the Hongyi cannon onto the warship.

Wang Bao's warship rushed to the closest position, and at the same time as the loud bang, the iron balls in the sky shot out, falling on the Song soldiers on the deck like a torrential rain.

"Ahh

"Poof!"

"It hurts!"

"Help!"

The archers suffered heavy casualties, and the shield-bearers who raised their shields for them were not much better, and at once they lay down to dozens of people, and the deck was full of cries and cries for help. A total of three soldiers on the boat were shelled, and the sails were all torn, and Wang Bao, the first of them, was also hit in the shoulder, falling and breaking a leg.

The Gojo Genbing warship made a sharp turn on the spot, and the huge hull twisted ninety degrees, revealing the three fully loaded cannons on the side of the ship.

"Put!"

"Put!"

This time, the sound of artillery came and went, and more than a dozen warships that followed Wang Bao's battleship to meet the enemy happened to have just entered the range of the cannon and were blown up. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty, who had no defense or experience in the shelling, were smashed in the face by the overwhelming iron balls like flying locusts, which was after more than a dozen artillery shots were fired, and the Song army suffered heavy casualties of hundreds of people.

In the bottom compartment of the Yuan army's warship, the oarsmen with big shoulders and round waists are pulling the oars hard, and it is not so simple for the huge warship to turn around on the spot, and it is completely dependent on manpower to operate, so it is conceivable that these oarsmen are sweating like rain.

The Song army's warship was blinded before it could make contact, and the remaining soldiers looked at the Yuan warship in front of them, which was turning around again, panicked, and didn't know how to fight back.

Wang Bao, who was covered in blood, was set up by his own soldiers, moved a Taishi chair and sat on the deck, and issued orders with full of energy.

"Trebuchet, ready to return fire, the giant crossbow is fired at the Yuan soldiers, the Divine Arm Bow tests the range, and the others transfer the wounded to the cabin."

"Yes, General!"

"Trebuchet, get ready...... Put! ”

"Divine Arm Bow Maximum Elevation Angle, Shoot!"

Driven by the morale of the flagship, the remnants of more than a dozen warships began to counterattack one after another, but the hit rate of the stones thrown over was not high, and the crossbow arrows shot by the divine arm bow could barely reach, and they could not penetrate the soldiers' leather armor when they were lightly inserted into people.

At a distance of 100 paces, where the archers on deck had no place to play their role, the unwounded men moved their dead and wounded companions and moved them to the cabin for treatment. Some soldiers had already picked up the iron and other objects launched by the Yuan soldiers, and brought them to Wang Bao with stains of blood.

"General, you see, the things that the Yuan soldiers launch to hurt people can pierce leather armor and chain mail, and they can also penetrate helmets and smash skulls."

Wang Bao knew very well how powerful this thing was, and his left shoulder was smashed, not just a little bit of the front, and his shoulder bone was smashed.

"Raise the flag to the boat behind, promise to pass the military information back, and I will wait for a duel with the Yuan army today!"

Wang Bao was stunned for a moment, and found that the damage caused by trebuchets and crossbow arrows to the Yuan soldiers was too small, and when the Yuan soldiers' warships turned their heads, and the cannon fire came again, the dozen or so ships were all finished.

"Order, everyone into the cabin, replace the oarsman to row with all his might, the helmsman is aimed at the turning enemy ship, accelerate with all his strength to hit me, and then prepare for hand-to-hand combat, no victory!"

Wang Bao's general order, the whole ship was shocked, looking at the main general who had broken a leg and drooped an arm, and was still sitting on the Taishi chair, as a soldier who followed, what else do you have to say!

The cabin was full of shouting captains, organizing their men, and all those who could go into battle were equipped with swords, guns, swords, and halberds, ready to board the ship for hand-to-hand combat. The decks on both sides of the ship are stacked with stacks of bamboo ladders with hooks two or three zhang long, and as long as the two sides are close to each other, countless bamboo ladders will be set up at once.

Zhang Hongfan recognized the effect of artillery naval warfare, and the shortcomings of the cannon were also very fatal, cleaning the gun chamber and filling the gunpowder from the new tamping, and then filling the iron ball warhead inside, this process was delayed for a long time, which seriously affected the rate of fire of the cannon.

The warships of the Yuan soldiers turned around in place, but the warships of the Song army rushed over without their lives, obviously they were going to hit the ship, although the tactics of injuring the enemy 800 and losing 1,000 were not clever, but it was also the only way out for these dozen Song warships.

"! Quickly retreat, accelerate and accelerate, and dodge the Song Army's bow collision! ”

This disrupted the plan to continue the artillery bombardment after disrupting the original body, and the commander immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered the gunboats to dodge and leave the battle, and the warships that followed closely behind them rushed forward to meet the Song warships that intercepted their lives.

It was too late, and then it was too fast, Wang Bao's flagship warship caught up with a Yuan gunboat, and the rapidly accelerating warship collided with the corner and slammed into the right side of the gunboat. The two Valian cannons, which had not yet had time to fire, were overturned on the deck, and the sturdy side and deck were torn open, and the two ships were tightly connected.

"Hahaha, tell you to run, boy, see where you run!"

Wang Bao clenched his knife excitedly, and roared towards the sky: "Brothers, rush to their ship for me and avenge my dead sons!" Kill ......"

The Song army swarmed out of the cabin, hundreds of people picked up the bamboo ladder and set up the opposite boat, facing the flying bow and arrows without fear, even more than a dozen arrows in the body, and did not relax the bamboo ladder in their hands. Many oarsmen didn't catch the weapons they had in hand, so they picked up the blood-stained iron balls on the deck, and cursed and threw them at the opposing soldiers with their arms.

The Yuan soldiers did not show weakness, and countless soldiers drew their scimitars and stood at the place where the two ships were connected, ready to block the Song army that was rushing over.

Wang Baoqiang endured his injuries, stood up from the Taishi's chair with the steel knife in his hand, and roared loudly at his soldiers.

"Kill me, boys! Even if you die, let me watch you die on the ship of the Yuan soldiers! ”
