The form of naval warfare in the Cold Weapon period was mainly frontal engagement, with stone-throwing machines and crossbows as long-range weapons to shoot at each other, the surviving ships collided with each other, and then engaged in broadside battles, the attacking side used the slapstick to smash and destroy the protective measures of the enemy ships, killing and injuring sailors, and their own soldiers 'jumped into the gang' to the enemy ships to engage in hand-to-hand combat, seizing or scuttling the enemy ships.

The Jin Shui Army was modeled after the old Song Dynasty Navy and the Liao Navy, and the design and combat methods of the ships certainly inherited their characteristics, but now the Song Army's warship is to meet the enemy with the side of the ship, using artillery to attack from a long distance, and not giving them the opportunity to fight at all.

'Boom, ......boom' Weiyuan's starboard gun began to shoot, and the opposite front-firing ship hit the bullet surface a little, and the slightest deviation would miss, but now it was a shot from the opposite side, the distance was so close, and the other party hit much more than his own size, it was like an awl piercing the sole of his shoe, and if he missed it, he was a little sorry for the military salary that was half higher than that of the infantry cavalry.

The first gun of the 'dong' hit the bow of the enemy ship, and the solid iron bullet smashed directly through the ship's board, turned over several times in the cabin, and came out through the board in the opposite position, leaving a large hole in the port side, and the ship was also crooked a few times, and some sailors stood unsteadily and fell to the ground.

The guns of the Weiyuan fired in this way, leaving one big hole after another in the enemy ship, the female wall collapsed, the mast broke, and the ship completely lost power and collapsed on the sea, but unfortunately the shells failed to hit the position of the enemy ship under the waterline. Although it was heavily damaged, it did not sink.

"Speed up. Ram the enemy ship! "The two ships staggered by, and the gunwales were useless. Behind were more than a dozen small warships, Song Yi ordered again, the drums were rushing, the sailors in the oars were all working together, and the speed of the Weiyuan suddenly increased, rushing towards the flotilla of the Jin army.

Because the plan was to seize the port, the ships of the Jin army were loaded with Jin sailors who were ready to participate in broadside battles or landing operations, and they only had bows, arrows, knives and guns and other weapons in their hands, facing the collision of their Song warships several times that of their own. They were clearly unprepared, and they did not expect that their own ships would be paralyzed and lose cover in just one turn. The Jin army was in a big mess, and shrewdly quickly accelerated its speed to break away from the formation to avoid the Song warships; Still confused, he stared at the huge shadow crushing towards him; There are also those who are not afraid of death, and shoot at the Song boat with bows and arrows, hoping to pull a cushion on their backs when they die.

In a desperate scream, there was a loud bang, and the Weiyuan slammed into a ship that could not be evaded, under the action of a huge momentum. The sharp angle of attack of the battleship split it in half, and the ship sank in an instant, and the Jin sailors fell into the water one after another, and the Weiyuan only paused and pressed over their heads. Reel it to the bottom of the ship. The Jin army had no power to fight back in front of the Weiyuan, and even if it was scratched, it would be the end of capsizing, and it was under its rampage. It has long been dispersed, and everywhere it has passed is a mess. The wreckage of the ship floated on the water, leaving the cries for help of those who fell overboard......

Song Yi was also very nervous at first. In fact, although the Song Dynasty Navy has been established for many years, there are not many opportunities to really participate in actual combat, most of them are engaged in anti-smuggling, escorting, exterminating water bandits and blocking the enemy's waterways, so even an old sailor like Song Yi does not have much actual combat experience, even if he has been hanging around at the door of the enemy country for almost a year, he has not touched the opportunity to fight, and he did not expect this fight to catch up with a big one!

The water army can't really be blamed for this phenomenon, it's just that they are too powerful, and there is no rival in this world. In fact, those who witnessed it know that the navy undertook more of the task of transportation, and it was the marine corps that really made meritorious contributions, and the new navy's naval combat experience basically came from training and exercises and escort patrols.

"The first shot is fired, inserted into the enemy position, and the left and right side guns are fired in turn!" Song Yi saw that he could easily inflict heavy damage on the enemy's capital ship and break through its formation, and his confidence was greatly increased, so he loudly ordered the warship to accelerate again and insert into the oncoming enemy ship formation, disrupt its offensive formation, buy early warning time on the island, and then take advantage of the chaos to break away and choose the opportunity to fight again. But he soon found that his situation was not good, and the prepared enemy warships launched a 'round-up' formation, outflanking him from three sides, and the stone projectiles fired at him became more dense, constantly falling around the battleship......

Wuyan Puluhun, the former commander of the Jinshui Army, originally thought that this mission should be very easy, even with more than 100 warships and nearly 20,000 horses under his command, it was enough to set foot on Mi Island, and he was also worried that the Song army on the island would flee without a fight and let himself run empty. Therefore, he was very angry at the sudden attack on his fleet by the sudden 'Cheng Biting Jin', these Southern Dynasties were too self-conscious, did not surrender and escape obediently, and dared to fight their own ambushes, so he sent a fighting ship twice the tonnage to clean it up. But it can only be said that Uyan Puluhun is 'stupid', and he actually wants to win an opponent equipped with more than a dozen artillery pieces in a one-on-one situation with a battleship equipped with cold weapons.

Thinking that the simple task of the battle would be solved soon, Wuyan Puluhun did not expect to touch a hard nail, and there was a chaotic sound of 'bang bang', and his fighting ship became a dead fish floating on the sea, and the sailors who were ready to board the ship and grab the ship became chickens in the soup, and the other party seemed to be not satisfied, and rushed towards his large array single-handedly, which made him angry, and immediately ordered the main warships to form a glaive formation to round up, so as not to escape, and at the same time fired stone projectiles with a catapult to sink it, and the best thing was to be captured with heavy damage.

In the face of the siege of several warships of the Jin army, Song Yi ordered the sail to increase the speed of the ship again, although the sail increased the probability of the ship being shot, but at a long distance they had to rely on 'Meng' to fire their guns and hit the enemy ship, not to mention that the enemy ship was equipped with a trebuchet with a slower rate of fire and adjustment, which might still have some effect on group targets, and if you wanted to hit a single ship that turned off the lights and sailed at high speed in the dark, you had to rely on 'blindness'. The reality is that Jin Jun's character is really not good, and the closer the two sides are, the farther and farther the stone bullet deviates, and the more sparse it becomes.

It turned out that Song Yi was still under the siege of the Jinshui Army and rushed between the second and third fighting ships in the enemy's horizontal line according to the original plan, and as the angle with the enemy ships on the outer edge narrowed, they could not aim at all, and also sent their own people to injure by mistake, so that the Weiyuan successfully broke through their net made of artillery. Seeing this, the two enemy ships immediately moved closer to each other, trying to rely on their large size advantage to flank the Weiyuan and crush it.

"Steady the rudder, keep course, accelerate!" The distance between the two enemy ships in front of Song Yi gradually narrowed, and it was less than a hundred steps, but he still did not change his mind, and ordered loudly, at this time, the drum beat to grasp the rhythm of the oars had already sounded, and the speed of the ship had reached the limit.

"Fire!" The speed of the enemy ship was still slow, and the Weiyuan successfully broke through before the two enemy ships closed together, and the distance between the two sides and the enemy ship was only thirty paces, although it was dark, the faces of the sailors on the enemy ship could be seen clearly, they had steel knives in their backs, ropes in their hands, and were ready to jump on the ship.

'Boom, boom...... the left and right sides of the Weiyuan fired almost simultaneously, and the recoil generated by the firing made the battleship tremble like malaria, and the planks made a palpitating creaking sound, as if the ship was about to fall apart in a moment, but the result was that it did not collapse, and both enemy ships shattered into boards. The Weiyuan was originally smaller than the fighting ships of the Jin Army, of course, it was a big cut, and the oars of the oarsmen on both sides who were close to the enemy ship had to be put together, as long as the cannon could be fired, it would definitely hit.

The Weiyuan gave the two enemy ships a real six guns each, and blew one side of the ship to pieces, and the sea water poured into the cabin in an instant, and the oarsmen inside sank with the ship without even having a chance to escape, and the undead jumped into the sea to escape, but some people were still inevitably swept into the whirlpool brought by the wreck. The Weiyuan shook a few times and then accelerated forward, knocked over the ship behind several Jin Army warships, and came out of the formation. But the scene in front of him surprised Song Yi, the sea in the distance was lit up, and there were no less than hundreds of Jin Army warships!

"Turn southeast and get out of the fight!" Song Yi ordered in a deep voice, it was already very risky to single out the enemy fleet just now, and now the front and rear are full of enemy warships, as the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death, and their own warships can not defeat so many enemy troops, once they are entangled, it will be difficult to get out. And now that the Jin army has dispatched so many warships, it seems that they are really coming, and if they enter the port, they will be sealed inside, and staying on the periphery may also play the role of a surprise soldier, so he decided to leave the battlefield.

"Damn, how can you fire casually without an order!" Just when Song Yi was depressed, there was a loud noise at the stern of the ship, and the tail gunner, who had never had the opportunity to participate in the battle, fired a shot at the enemy group without authorization......

At this moment, in addition to being surprised and angry, the enemy only had one battleship, and in just half an hour, he destroyed two of his own ships, seriously damaged one large fighting ship, and destroyed six ships, and before the battle began, he suffered such a big loss, which made him have an ominous premonition.

'Bang', Uyan Puluhun only felt a shock to the deck under his feet, and looked back to see that the heads of the soldiers behind him were smashed, and the remaining iron bullets passed through the deck and fell into the cabin on the next floor, and he didn't know how many more were killed. This also deserves his bad luck, the tail gunner of the Weiyuan is aiming at the tallest and largest building ship in the fleet, who made it the biggest? What I didn't expect was that if the muzzle of the cannon was a little higher, it would have made a great contribution to killing the former military commander of the Jinshui Army......
