Above the waves, there are sailing ships looking forward to ride the wind and waves.

The Northern Yuan general wearing willow-leaf armor was shouting and shouting to prepare the archers. Looking at the Ming fleet that was approaching in the distance, the palms of Zaihu couldn't help but sweat.

When he found a house, he was like most of the Yuan army generals who were afraid of being beaten by the Ming army. When he saw the Ming army, his calves were trembling.

However, he knew that this was a naval battle, not a land war or water war that the Ming army was good at. Whether it was weapons and equipment, or the quality of the water crew, he must have a more advantage. When he thought of this, he felt as if he had courage.

"Archer is ready! Gunner is ready!"

The flag bearer began to wave the flag, and then he heard shouts from the sea boats.

"Arrowman ready--!"

"The gunner aims-!"

Zha Yihu reached out and grabbed the wooden railings on the building ship. The Mingfu ship in front of him was getting closer and closer and was about to enter the shooting range. He thought that the two armies would charge each other against each other like the naval battles they had fought before, then fired bows and arrows, and a round of artillery bombardment, followed by a collision of the ship and fighting with the gang.

But the Ming army fleet in front of him suddenly separated the formation, and then he saw the ships on the periphery changing the direction of his journey. Of course, it was not a long snake formation.

Zhu Qi also wanted to use the "T-shaped" battle line artillery tactic, but first of all, the artillery technology is not enough to support the range required by the "T-shaped" tactic, because the essence of the "T-shaped" battle line artillery war book is to open the distance and use the zigzag positioning to allow the left and right ships to repeatedly bombard the shelling. If there are still enemies who are not dead, then the string combat will be carried out.

In addition, the maneuverability of the ship is not enough to support the implementation of this tactic. The current lucky ships and the Guang ships are too bulky. After all, one of the disadvantages of hard sailing ships is that they are seriously lacking in agility in the ocean environment.

At least it is necessary to develop the Carac four-masted sailing ship that pioneered the Age of Discovery in the 15th century, or the Garen sailing ship that went further, so that it has enough agility and mobility to support the "T-shaped" tactics.

However, it doesn’t matter whether there is a turtle ship or not or not. Anyway, according to the current naval battle tactics, the turtle ship is really a black technology that is one hundred years ahead of the era.

When I set up a house, I saw that the Congming Fleet rushed out of ten medium-sized ships at a very fast speed, but the style of these ten medium-sized ships was very strange. They looked like a flat box, and they stretched out two rows of oars from both sides, and were paddling at an extremely fast speed.

Za Yihu's eyesight is already very good, but when he first saw these things, Za Yihu was still confused, thinking that he had read it wrong. The boat didn't have a deck?

After the turtle boat was approaching, it was confirmed that it was really a box boat with iron sheets wrapped around it, and it looked like a turtle shrouded.

Liu Yi on the Beiyuan flagship in the distance naturally noticed the situation here. After seeing the shape of the turtle ship, he was a little confused for a moment, and then laughed:

"What does this Liao King of the Ming Dynasty mean? Why did he send ten turtles to come here? His fleet is still circling around. Could it be that he doesn't want to fight our army in a decisive battle?"

The military eyes on the side rolled and said with a smile:

"Sir, this must be because the King of Liao of the Ming Dynasty saw that he could not defeat such a huge fleet and ran far. He simply pulled these ten turtle ships to serve as the palace behind him! Sir, don't hesitate and attack directly. Let's take these ten turtle ships in one fell swoop and catch up with the King of the Ming Dynasty. Success or failure will be the first to defeat!"

Liu Yi was also happy to pat his belly, and then ordered the entire army to attack!

As a pioneer general, Za Yihu naturally saw Lord Pingzhang's order flag. Although he was surprised and had a vague premonition, he still cleared out the slightest premonition in his mind. After all, the current situation is extremely beneficial for the Beiyuan Navy, and there are no variables.

This is a naval battle, not a land battle, there are also ambushers. It is said that a surprise weapon is to fight naval battles, whoever has more ships and whose ship is better! No need to see, is this Ming Navy and my Dayuan Navy at all incomparable?

Zaihu originally wanted to order the artillery fire, but looking at the speed of the ten turtle ships approaching, it was unprecedented. I think the artillery must not be hit, and there were only a few cannons on the ship. Don’t waste shells and strength, just wait and hit the flagship of the Liao King of the Ming Dynasty later.

So people shot arrows immediately. Of course, the weather is filled with fire-induced arrows. Although sea ships do a lot of fire prevention treatments and are very difficult to ignite, if they can ignite the sails... Well, these ships on the other side seem to have no sails?!

Forget it, no matter, just shoot arrows first, what if it can ignite the other party's hull?

Soon, I saw a dozen large ships on Zaihu, and soon a scattered rocket was shooting towards the ten turtle ships.

It is naturally impossible to ignite the turtle ship. The turtle ship has no sails. The battle depends entirely on paddlings to get close to the opponent. In addition, the turtle ship is like other sea boats. When it is built in the dock, it has already taken sufficient fire prevention measures. In addition, there is also a layer of iron sheet on the outside of the turtle ship. Although the iron sheet is extremely easy to rust, it is to change the layer after rusting. To put it bluntly, it is to use money to exchange for combat effectiveness.

If you can ignite this thing, what you shoot is probably not a rocket, but a high-temperature furnace?

It is naturally impossible to ignite it. A large number of rockets shot on the turtle ship's "turtle shell" without even a flame. Not only that, it is impossible to penetrate the turtle ship's defense.

In just a moment of archery, these turtle boats had already rowed to the edge of the big boat.

Za Yihu frowned. He didn't expect these ships to be so powerful, but it doesn't matter. Naval battle light fire prevention has nothing to do with it. It's all about the equipment of the ship. He was full of big ships on his side, and he was knocked over by the collision!

"Order, use the bow to hit the boat! Prepare to jump to the gang to fight!"

The order was quickly conveyed. The dozen or so big ships on Zaihu were also moving forward at full speed with the wind. As the turtle ship was getting closer, a huge impact angle in front of the turtle ship also made Zaihu feel his heart condensed.

Isn't this corner hitting, my ship sank? It shouldn't be possible?

But just as I thought about this, I heard a loud noise, and then the ship where a house was riding shaking violently, and the whole ship seemed to hit a hill!

Logically speaking, large ships must have the advantage in naval battles, but for a turtle ship with a low center of gravity and a special angle-impacting flat-bottom ship is another matter. Zayihu has pointed bottom ships. Although there are also angles of impact, the ship is huge and the angle of impact cannot hit the turtle ship at all.

The angle of the turtle ship was able to hit the bottom of the arc bow of the pointed-bottom ship. What a guy, the turtle ship was very fast under the sailors' hard paddle. At such a fast speed, the angle of the collision hit the bottom of the bow of the Yuan army ship, so the destructive power naturally didn't need to be raised.

In an instant, all kinds of wooden debris rushed around, and the surging sea water suddenly poured into it.

One of the large ships was seriously injured and even began to sink directly to the bow.

Fortunately, the watertight cabin technology for shipbuilding in Zhongyuan has become very mature these days. Even if a section of the cabin enters water, as long as a section of the cabin is sealed, the ship will not be completely silent and will still have combat effectiveness.

But if it were just that, this turtle ship would not be considered a black technology.

There are many small holes that can move on the turtle ship. As long as these small holes are opened inside, they can extend weapons, such as spears, muskets, cannons, etc., and of course, they also include - mooring bottles!

This is naturally an epoch-making thing. The distilled liquor technology is so skillful. If Zhu Qi doesn’t give you a full ignition bottle? That’s really a pity for the time traveler’s face!

As for how to make a molten bottle, it is even simpler. Make a bottle, then fill it with flammable high-concentration alcohol, stuff it into the bottle, seal the bottle mouth, and throw it out directly.

Soon, the turtle boats that crashed into the Yuan army's large ships and saw the mooring bottles smashed out. With the sound of bangs, the cabins of which ships suddenly burst into flames.

The frame materials of these seaships do have various fire prevention measures, but many crew members' items, temperament, clothes, gunpowder, etc. in the cabin are all flammable and explosive items. In addition, you have arranged alcohol. No matter how easy it is to catch fire, you can burn it for a while. As long as it burns for a long time, the stones can be burned for you, let alone a ship?

Zha Yihu stood on the deck, listening to the sound of shouting from below his ship, and then someone came to shout:

"General is not good! Our ship is on fire!"

"What?!"

Zayihu never expected that he did not ignite the other party, but instead ignited himself. However, Zayihu was indeed a veteran with rich experience in naval battles. He immediately ordered to smash a hole wherever the fire was on, and then immediately closed the cabin.

As long as seawater is poured in, the ship will not be easily ignited. Anyway, with sealing cabin technology, even if the bottom of the lower ship is flooded, as long as the middle and upper decks are fine, you can still fight!

While ordering this and trying to control the fire as quickly as possible, a household began to organize a jump gang battle.

Because he saw that many turtle boats that had been driven over were already planning to change directions, so they could not escape. It was difficult to guarantee that they would hit them again when they changed places. These turtle boats were all made of hundreds of sailors, without even a sail, and did not consider the matter of ocean sailing at all. From beginning to end, they were born for naval battles. In short-term combat, whether it was speed or mobility, they were all sailboats today. No, even if they were pushed back for two hundred years, no sailboat could match!

Of course, after the launch of the Galen ship and the gun range and accuracy are getting higher and higher, this type of turtle ship that focuses on close combat will definitely be unpractical, because it is sunk by a volley before it gets close, which is definitely not possible.

But at least now, the turtle ship is an invincible existence on the battlefield!

Zhayihu also knew the seriousness of the situation and had to quickly paralyze the combat effectiveness of these turtle ships. Otherwise, with its flexibility, these turtle ships would rush again and set fire everywhere like before. Even the most powerful ship would not be able to withstand this.

Soon, soldiers from the Northern Yuan Dynasty tried to jump and grab the ship, but other people's ships still had decks. This was a turtle ship sail, and there was nothing on the deck. It was just a tin shell as a roof, which was like a coffin on the sea.

However, this coffin was not from the Ming army, but was prepared for the Beiyuan Navy!

After seeing the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty jumped onto the turtle boat, they eagerly began to look for the passage to enter the interior, but the passages were locked from the inside. It was impossible for them to enter, and it was impossible to break the defense of the turtle boat wrapped in iron with swords and guns in their hands.

It really seemed like jumping onto a turtle shell and lost all its temper.

At this time, the Ming army was performing. Before the Yuan army could react, they saw that many small holes were opened at the top of the turtle ship under their feet, followed by a long spear, and suddenly pierced out of the small hole. Some of the quick reactions and luck might be fine, but most of the Northern Yuan soldiers were instantly pierced through the soles of their feet.

A huge pain came from the soles of the feet that were pierced, which made these Beiyuan soldiers unable to gain a foothold. Those who were on the edge of the turtle boat jumped into the sea in pain might have a glimmer of hope. As for those who were in the middle or those who didn't jump into the sea, they fell directly on the turtle boat, the next second they were pierced by the spear pierced from below.

In a moment, the ten turtle boats were like meat grinders. One by one, the North Yuan soldiers jumped down and were stabbed to death in an instant. Two batches came in a row, and the rest did not dare to jump at all.

This is a big deal. It’s okay to be killed by the enemy. If you don’t even know what the enemy looks like in this way, you are just going to die!

If they don’t jump the ship, it doesn’t mean that the turtle boat will have no choice but to deal with them.

And the next tactics of these turtle ships were not as expected as they were to set up a house, and they would break up the distance and hit it again.

Of course this is OK, but the turtle ship is not steam power, but human power. It finally hits the big ship, so why bother to keep a distance and then charge again?

If you don’t want to use the 18th method to sink your big ship, you will underestimate the black technology of the turtle ship.

After setting the fire, the turtle ship quickly distanced a little from the big ship, but it was not about to hit it again, but in such an almost close state, black muzzles stretched out from the side of the turtle ship, facing the part of the big ship approaching the bottom of the ship without any defense.

When he saw these sticking muzzles, his face turned green.

There was an idea in his mind, this time - he was dead!
