After a rain of bullets, more than a dozen warships of the Jin Army, which took the lead, were sunk, and then the gunners of the Song Army ships quickly loaded. On the Jin army's side, there were hundreds of warships, loaded with more than 20,000 soldiers, including more than 20 large ships, they believed that there were many ships, and the number of soldiers was overwhelmingly superior. Relying on the advantage of the fast speed of the small boat, he desperately paddled the water to approach in order to board the enemy ship.

The unsunken and destroyed warships of the Jin Navy still rushed towards the Song fleet according to traditional tactics, trying to ram and get close to the enemy ships, and then climbed onto the enemy's warships with blades in hand to fight, but the Song army did not give them a chance to get close at all. After two rounds of firing, the Song warships began to rearrange their formations to seize their positions, keeping the column formation unchanged, led by large battleships, and inserting into the gap between the horizontal columns of the Jinshui Army.

The large warships of the Song Dynasty navy were equipped with three masts, on which were hung with spinnakers and sails designed according to the emperor's suggestion, and had enough power to increase the speed of the ship, and could sail both downwind and against the wind. The ship has its own gun deck and gun bay for broadside guns, and the bow and stern are equipped with guns that can attack on all sides, and are staffed by skilled gunners. Medium-sized warships are sail-paddle dual-powered and flexible in operation, easy to intersperse and travel, and suitable for rapid assault operations at sea.

At a distance of 100 paces, the rapid-fire guns equipped on the Song warships preemptively started another round of shooting, sinking a group of enemy ships again, and the enemy's arrows also shot onto the ships, but the Song warships were built to sail in the ocean, with excellent wave resistance and strong hulls, which could resist the attacks of small warships, and the bows and arrows were almost like tickling when they hit the ship, and the gunners and sailors had their own cabins to hide. Unless a marksman can shoot through the cannon window, he can't hurt anyone at all.

The Golden Water Army is the main fleet of the Chinese Army this time. The former army suffered heavy losses during the attack on Minami Island, and the warships suffered heavy losses. Most of them were used as infantry troops by Ali to cooperate with the rear army to seize the island and land on the mainland, and the rest were also stationed in the strait to serve as a guard. The flagship of the rear army was sunk, morale plummeted, and several large ships were lost, but the strength still existed, and in addition to blockading the port of Minmi Island, it also served as an offshore vigilance. It was they who had recently discovered the arrival of the Song fleet.

This was the first large-scale naval battle between the Song and Jin, and Ali did not dare to slack off, he looked at the Song army formation that was quickly inserted in the sails and waves on the flagship, and urgently ordered the rear army to quickly step forward, and the forward turned around, trying to use the two fleets to flank the inserted Song Dynasty fleet and trap them in the formation. However, the Jin army lacked large-scale grouping training, and the problem of inexperience was exposed again, after receiving orders. The two armies in front and rear hurriedly responded, swarming up, as fast as they were, as slow as they were, and all at once chaotic. There is simply no way to maintain the formation.

The Song fleet, which successfully penetrated between the two teams of the Jin army, took advantage of the chaos to open fire, and this round of artillery bombardment was even more intense, and the guns on the left and right sides of each ship fired at the same time. Immediately, gunsmoke billowed and the sound of explosions shook the sky. The two fighting ships of the Jin Army were recruited at the same time. The mast was broken and the belly of the ship was pierced. Immediately paralyzed on the sea, and then sent to the bottom of the sea by the follow-up Song ship, who made them a big target!

The thunderous sound of war drums could be heard for miles, and the Song warships swept through the enemy group, and the second round of shotguns was fired, and the golden soldiers on the deck were killed and injured countless times, and they all hid in the cabin. After only two rounds, the golden fleet fell into chaos, the sea was full of soldiers who had fallen into the water, the dead were gone, the living were struggling desperately in the water, and some warships that had lost their power from bullets kept spinning.

Cheng Xishou, who was watching the battle, saw that the enemy's formation was in chaos, and ordered all ships to cut the enemy forces, completely break up their formations, and entangle the main fleet of the Jin army, and at the same time ordered the escort fleet to cover the transport fleet carrying the marine brigade to approach Linden Island, and seize the island when the Jin army was defeated. After Tian Yang received the order, he sent an order to the front army in the flag language, ordering five brave battleships to attack the enemy's central army and wait for the opportunity to defeat the enemy's flagship; The battleships of the Weizi entangled the other enemy ships in pairs and chose the opportunity to annihilate!

The large number of soldiers on the Jin army's warships only had bows and swords, but how could the range and power of bows and arrows be compared with artillery, and the cold weapons and artillery could only be beaten in the confrontation. Despite this, the warships of the Jin fleet still risked being sunk and launched a brave charge again and again. Some of the ships approached the Song warships, and after the two sides joined the side, they found that the Song warships were so high that the soldiers of the Jinshui Army could not climb up at all. When the artillery could not fire, the condescending sailors of the Song Army grabbed machine guns and muskets one after another to shoot at the Jin army who tried to board the ship, and relied on these firearms to beat the soldiers of the Jin Army who jumped into the gang so that they could not raise their heads and fell into the sea......

Seeing that his front was scattered by the Song army, Ali fell into a state of fighting on his own. He realized that because the Song army's ships and high ships were strong in defense, and the small size of the Japanese ships was not conducive to attacking the fortification, as soon as the warships of the two sides came into contact, the Jin army was immediately at a disadvantage, and urgently ordered the warships to withdraw to their own team, trying to gather the team and restore the formation, but it was no longer possible, but it caused greater chaos, some ships got the order to move closer to the Chinese army, some were entangled by the Song army and could not get out at all, and some wanted to stay away from the Song ships so as not to be sunk.

At this time, the wind direction suddenly changed to a northerly wind, blowing more and more violently, hundreds of Jin army warships were pushed by the waves in a corner east of the linden island in the Korean Bay, squeezed together, the fleet was difficult to move in the narrow bay, could not advance, had no way back, collided with each other, made a mess, and it was difficult to rush out of the river to meet the battle. However, it also made the Song army's warships unable to maneuver and was squeezed out of the battlefield, but Tian Yang did not want to let go of this opportunity, and commanded the fleet to withdraw and fired incendiary bombs at the enemy.

The fire borrowed the wind, the wind helped the fire, and the hundreds of warships on the Jin army set fire one after another, turning into a sea of fire, and the burning Jin soldiers jumped into the sea one after another, and countless people drowned. Seeing this, Ali knew that the battle had been lost, so he ordered a retreat, and fled southeast first, passing through the narrow sea channel between Linjima and Minmi Island, and hiding in the narrow strait.

The Jin army was defeated, and Cheng ordered the fleet to turn to Linden Island and several small islands around it, at this time, when the tide was rising, they approached the coast with ten Yongzi ships, and the island was bombarded with naval guns. An artillery brigade of the Song Army is equipped with no more than 100 artillery pieces, but there are nearly 100 guns on a large warship, and the firepower is equal to that of an artillery brigade. The Marine Brigade then transferred to a small boat and landed on the island, the island was quiet, the soldiers of the Jin Army stationed on the island were already dead, and the living ones were also dull-eyed and trembling, and they were already frightened stupid.

The battle ended in one morning, and the outcome of the battle spoke for itself, with the Song army defeating the Jin fleet with fewer victories and few losses of its own. The defeat of the Jin fleet was due to the backward performance of the warships and the backward combat weapons, and from then on, the naval battle will no longer be two ships ramming each other, firing bows and arrows, throwing javelins, stones, and fighting with each other, but long-distance artillery bombardment, and it depends on whose artillery is powerful and has a long range, which also represents the arrival of a new era......

After this battle, the Jin army's navy was beaten and scattered, and its strength was greatly damaged, and what was more serious was that their Song army cut off the sea route back to the Yalu River, and could only shrink in the narrow strait, and if they wanted to go back, they could only detour the entire Korean Peninsula, or abandon the boat and go ashore, turning the navy into an army and walking back.

On the other hand, after the Song army landed on the islands such as Lindijima, they were able to control the sea surface in this area, gain a foothold, and encircle the rear army of the Jinshui Army guarding the port of Shenmi Island. When Chi Zhanhui heard that the Chinese army had been defeated and the surrounding islands had been recaptured, he thought that he would not be able to compete with the Song army for the port with a few small boats of his own, so he simply took advantage of the fact that the Song army was still coming to the door, and he took advantage of the darkness to lead the fleet to slip away, and took the west of the island to join the main force, and the siege of Mi Island was relieved.

The next day, Cheng Xishou's flagship sailed into the harbor to join the defenders, and the ships took turns to enter the harbor to replenish supplies and ammunition. There is enough food for 10,000 people to eat for a month, and a large number of weapons and ammunition are hoarded for war, which is one of the reasons why Zhao Ta set up this base......
