Chapter 265: Fierce Battle

The small warship, propelled by a steam engine with a propeller, was a little faster than the Mongol "Falcon". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 At first, the Mongols ignored the windless ships, believing that they were simply being moved sideways by the current.

This time, the Mongolian army sent 3,000 sailors to the south to control Huang Yuan, who was actually a native of the Great Song Dynasty, and later descended to Mongolia, this person was very clear about the naval army of the Great Song Dynasty, he had never seen such a ship, thinking it was a civilian ship.

This time, on the orders of the Mongolian generals, he took 30 newly-built "Falcon" warships down the Yangtze River at the beginning of this month. The second was to cut off the passage of the Great Song Dynasty naval army in and out, and disrupt the richest Sichuan roads in the Great Song Dynasty.

He didn't expect that these strange-looking ships would turn into fierce and hungry tigers in the blink of an eye. When his boat approached about a mile and a half of the other side and ordered the flag to be hoisted, he was immediately attacked from nowhere.

After Huang Yuan ordered the calendar to be hung with the flag, he thought that he was not afraid of even if there were so many people on a few strange ships, even if someone dared to resist, it was not that the chicken egg would break at the touch of a stone, there was nothing to worry about. He sat leisurely on the straw mat in the middle of the deck, leaned back on the large pile of furs and closed his eyes, and sighed: "It has been unfavorable for several days, and today a big sheep finally came to calm the hearts of his men." ”

An earth-shattering loud sound broke out not far away, shocking him to jump up, lowering his head and widening his eyes and sweeping to the left and right: "Is the sky falling and the earth cracking?" What a sound, so loud law. ”

"General, those ships...... Several ships, for some reason, burst into loud noises, and then caught fire. One of his men pointed to the left and reported to him with a pale face.

Huang Yuan glanced at the left, and turned a blind eye to the scene of the two boats in a mess and more than a dozen people falling into the sea calling for help, but he was in a hurry to get the other party's strange boat in his hands first, and shouted loudly: "Leave them alone, grab those boats first, and then talk about it, those two pig-like stupid guys will come back and deal with it." Quickly beckon the ships to move forward, and shoot the people on the monster ships with bows and arrows first, so that they don't get in the way. There are many rewards for being the first to attack the strange ship. ”

Huang Yuan was at a loss for what to do, one of the two warships that exploded and caught fire began to sink, and the other was already more than ten feet behind although there were still a few oars rowing, and it seemed that the situation was not very good. Less than half an hour later, two more explosions sounded on the river, and Huang Yuan saw with his own eyes that there was a column of water three or four feet high next to each of the two boats on the right, and the waves stirred up shook the two boats outward.

At this time, Huang Yuan found out that something was wrong, it must be someone on those strange ships who made trouble, I don't know what kind of demon trick they used to make such a powerful thing to attack their own ship. Could it be the Great Song Dynasty's sailors? Seeing that the ship in front of me was fine, I thought that it would be okay to get closer, and this kind of demon method must not be close, so I didn't do anything to the ship that was closer. Jumped up and shouted: "This is a demon law, it will only act on the distance and not close." Raise the flag quickly, so that the ships hurry forward, and the demon law will not be able to help us. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Yuan suddenly felt that something was "connected" between his feet, and before he could bow his head, a wave of heat rushed upward, and several streams of heat drilled into his body, and the force contained in it threw him into the air. The sound in my ears was louder than the one I had just heard. After a circle, he froze, and he clearly saw that there was a hole more than a foot wide in the place where he was lying just now, and in addition to a few pools of bright red blood next to the hole, there was also a human leg that had been cut off by a blunt knife.

"This leg is very familiar...... Isn't this my leg...... How did it get to the board on its own...... Yes! The pain reached his brain at this moment, and he roared what he thought was earth-shattering, but no sound came out, and he didn't feel anything anymore when his eyes were dark.

The gunboat slowly turned around slowly, allowing the gunners on the main deck to seize the moment to fire another shot, and the four "Falcon" ships that rushed forward first and the three Mongolian ships that were a little later were all wounded by the Tiger Squat cannon and burst into flames, and stopped moving. Three of them were slowly sinking, and the Mongols on each ship were frightened by this long-range blow, which could kill them several or even more than a dozen at once, and they did not think of extinguishing the fire, so they plunged into the water to avoid the fire and escaped, and hundreds of heads and floating corpses were scattered on the surface of the river in a radius of hundreds of feet.

The other Mongol ships were frightened by this sudden turn of events, and did not wake up until the cannon ships twisted their hulls and pressed them in, and the men on the Mongol ships shouted in unison, and turned their bows in a panic to run, and there was no time for a while.

On the high bow of the slow-moving gunship, the turret that was erected more than ten days ago has just been loaded with a tiger squat cannon.

Zhao Er, who had installed the tiger squat cannon, saw from the "clairvoyance" that the Mongolian ship was about to escape, and immediately ordered: "Load the cannon and shoot at the escaped Mongolian ship." "The calm river, the balanced speed of the ship, the distance of only sixty or seventy zhang away, and the artillery master Zhao Er is beside the side, and the gunners can be said to be handy. The first shot was a little farther than ten zhang, the second shot fell five or six zhang short, and the third shot hit a Mongolian ship. This sub-cave fell into the middle of the "falcon" and blew down more than a dozen Mongolian soldiers above, and three Mongolian soldiers were blown up so that they flew out of the ship with erupting blood lines and floated their bodies on the river.

Zhao Er felt the barrel of the cannon with his hand, the tentacles felt a little hot, and he was far from the degree of changing the cannon, and shouted in his mouth: "Keep fighting, if they don't surrender, they will not surrender until they are killed and sunk." ”

At this time, rocket artillery from the latest models can play their role. Li Xiang asked the artillery of the navy to aim the rocket artillery at the Mongolian ships. In the sound of cannons, and then every other moment, they fired rockets at the thief ships that had already begun to flee.

On the other side, the gunboat smaller No. 1 was also intercepting with three tiger squat guns and two three-bow crossbows on the side of the ship. Soon, two Mongolian ships were also hit on this side, and smoke came out, and within a moment the flames ignited.

Most of the generals on these Mongol ships were Mongol soldiers, and although they found that the handsome ships were gone, the ships that had not yet been attacked flew in unison, rowing desperately, trying to escape from the battlefield before they were struck. As everyone knows, the faster and farther away they are, the more they will be cared for by tiger squat guns and rockets.

For more than an hour, not a single Mongol ship could escape the range of the gunboats.

The remaining five Mongolian ships, which were not injured, seemed to have despered and were getting slower and slower. In the end, perhaps the oarsmen ran out of strength, so they simply stopped paddling and waited for the situation to unfold, waiting for God to arrange their fate.

The Mongol soldiers, who gradually sank three ships and jumped into the sea, some people were horrified to see the windless automatic gunboats, as if they were trying to help this way. One of the Mongol soldiers shouted in panic: "What's the matter, the river seems to be flowing towards the big boats, how can those boats come against the water?" (To be continued.) )
