On the water, dozens of ships, spreading their sails, obscured the view.

As far as the eye can see, there are big ships.

Lin Zhengyang stood on a high platform on the water and watched the battle.

There are three layers of high platform, from top to bottom, dozens of big ships can be seen in the distance, among which the sailors running back and forth, are vivid.

I saw that on top of all the big ships, several layers of iron sheets were added, covering important positions, and they were called ironclad ships.

At this time, the ships were all wooden, and pure ironclad ships had not yet appeared.

Moreover, steel production may not be able to sustain it at this time.

Even with the addition of iron, these ironclad ships can still have an advantage in water battles.

In addition, there are some old ships, temporarily requisitioned, and have not had time to be retrofitted with iron sheets.

It's just hastily repaired.

In general, it does not affect combat power.

The sun shines on the surface of the water.

Faintly, you can still hear the sailors shouting trumpets, and there are heralds on the bow of the ship constantly waving various flags to convey orders.

Lin Zhengyang followed his own soldiers, staring at the sailors to drive the boat.

Look into the distance.

Several ironclad ships in the vanguard have been staggered with the ships under the flag of Wu.

An ironclad ship missed a ship first, and then covered the ironclad with its hull, and slammed into it.

"Whoa," as if hearing such a sound, saw that the big boat had been rowed out of a big gap.

Ironclad ships have mechanisms under the surface that are designed for such ramming.

Many bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, and the river water poured into the cabin.

The ship stopped and sank slowly.

At this time, several ironclad ships were concocted in the same way, and catching an enemy ship was a violent collision.

Or with the bow of the ship, or with the hull, it happened that at this time there was a tailwind, and the enemy could not turn, and they were hit one after another.

In just a few moments, five or six enemy ships were recruited into the water.

After only a few dozen breaths, it sank significantly.

Some sailors abandoned the ship and fled, and in a short time there were many divers on the river.

Lin Zhengyang looked intently.

I saw that this flag was victorious, and the black and red military qi in the air was condensed, and the military qi belonging to the Han army became more and more intense, while the enemy's military qi collapsed a little.

As the battle progressed, the blood of the dead was dispersed into the air, revealing black and red.

The essence of war is blood and fire.

Therefore, the luck of military qi must be stained with blood to cultivate.

Every time you kill an enemy in a battle, you are plundering their blood and life, and they are refining this qi.

The bigger the victory, the more so.

Then, at the place of the Wu army's sailors, there was a herald ship to raise the flag.

From a distance, it's a little hard to see.

Next, the style of the Wu fleet changed significantly, making as many detours as possible to avoid direct impacts.

The ships of the Wu army were all wooden ships, and there were no ironclad ships, and their speed was slightly better than that of the Han army's sailors.

It is true that the impact has happened less after this.

When the ships are staggered, they shoot arrows at each other.

There is a bed crossbow on the Wu army's ship, and once it is fired, it can be chiseled under the action of huge kinetic energy.

There was an ironclad ship, which was unfortunately set on fire, and several shots were made, the ironclad was broken, and a gap appeared in the hull.

However, it did not sink for a while.

On the Han ship, there was a burst of "crackling" gunshots, like fried beans.

Wu Jun's boat suddenly fell as if it was cutting wheat, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Although it was far away, Lin Zhengyang could still hear that it was a classic three-shot platoon gun, that is, a three-stage shot.

This is the arquebus, which is filled with ignition powder in the ignition hole and then ignited with the arquebus, which greatly reduces the reloading time.

It is far more convenient to use here than an ordinary bow and crossbow.

The most important thing is that it takes a short time to train a musketeer, but it takes a long time to train a crossbowman.

The former is more promotable and has quite high strategic value.

The first time I use it, it immediately shows a miraculous effect.

It didn't take long for the Wu army to be knocked down one after another, and the ships were scuttled and sunk.

"According to the level of the musket at this time, it can only be lethal within twenty or thirty paces, which is only a few breaths on flat ground, but on the water, it is just right."

"The two boats are staggered, on this river, the speed of the boat is very fast, although it is five meters and ten meters apart and cannot be approached, at this time, the hand is three consecutive shots, and it is released across the boat, but the power is not small."

"Wait until the ships are staggered, and there is a gap, take the opportunity to load ammunition, and then continue."

"How can there be so much time to reload ammunition on flat ground? Especially at this time, the range of gunpowder is short, so it is not practical on the flat ground, but it is a sharp weapon in the naval army! ”

Lin Zhengyang was satisfied.

With the large number of arquebuses implemented and officially used in water warfare, the power gradually appeared.

The Wu army relied on bows and arrows and bed crossbows, and could still fight back and forth for a while, and even relied on the elite archers accumulated over the years to have a slight advantage in killing.

Here you can see the elite of the Wu Army's sailors.

Maintaining accurate shooting on a constantly moving and shaking deck is not a skill that can be learned in a day or two.

Wu Hou was able to gain a foothold in Yangzhou and repelled the Hu cavalry army many times, relying on the strength of the water division.

On the river, for a time, the Wu army had a slight advantage.

The slightest military spirit was reinvigorated and clashed with the military spirit of the Han army.

Lin Zhengyang saw it in his eyes, and he was not in a hurry, but when he saw the naval division camp below, he kept driving out of the fleet and rushed up.

After several rounds of confrontation, the frequency of Wu army's bow and arrow shooting decreased significantly, while the Han army's firearms still maintained a stable performance.

Gradually, the situation began to reverse.

"Even if it is the archers of the Wu army, after continuously pulling the bow, the state will inevitably decline, and the manpower to pull the bow is limited after all, so it is not as labor-saving as the musket."

"As long as the musket is loaded with ammunition and the logistics are sufficient, it can play steadily········ How much effort does it take to aim and ignite? ”

"Fight for consumption, naturally my side has the advantage."

In fact, this truth is a simple opinion, and those who have played with bows and arrows know that it is impossible to hold on for long by repeatedly pulling away and shooting.

After a few rounds, a dozen rounds, or at most dozens of rounds, there is a significant decline in form and the need for rest.

But in this fierce war, you may face enemy troops at any time, how can you rest?

So at this time, Wu Jun's fast-loading, lightweight, and labor-saving firearms gradually widened the gap.

Lin Zhengyang continued to watch the battle between the two sides.

From time to time, the warships of both sides broke down and retreated.

It's both friend and foe.

Those who were slightly damaged were just that, and some of the ships that had been badly damaged retreated to the shore under cover.

The ships of the Han army were obviously much stronger, perhaps because most of them were covered with armor, and the battle damage exchange ratio was about one to five.

Lin Zhengyang noticed that the morale of the Han army's sailors was high, and it was obviously better than the opposite.

On the water, the Han naval divisions, equipped with new firearms and ironclad ships, continued to defeat enemy ships.

The slightest trace of red qi rushed into the sky, and the vision of red light could be seen in the distance.
