"Wait a little longer." Song Wumian felt a little dangerous at this distance and was easily killed by the other party.

"Let's go sideways, prepare to fire!" Song Wumian carefully calculated the distance, pulled a little away from most of the other party, and immediately ordered.

Seven warships turned sideways, and twenty-one dark muzzles aimed at the Wu Chao navy chasing.

"Bang~bang~" Another loud noise. The nearest warships were less than two miles apart. At this distance, the artillery's accurate head was extremely high, and they directly destroyed the opponent's mast cabin. Another warship was hit near the waterline. As the waves surged, the ship had already entered the water, and the Wu Chao navy officers and soldiers on it were in chaos.

Under Song Wumian's command, the warship continued to turn around and launch artillery bombardment. The gunner who gradually mastered the rhythm greatly improved his hit rate and achieved remarkable results.

Li Yuanlong has been so frustrated in his life. Until now, his troops have suffered huge losses and have not even attacked the other party.

"I'm going to kill him." Li Yuanlong lost his mind. There was just a caravan on the other side. He couldn't stand this humiliation. He wanted to completely defeat the other party and let them crawl at his feet.

"General, the opponent's weapons are weird. We might as well recall the Clippers and retreat first." The navy captain on the warship suggested that since the war started, they have already broken seven large ships, including Li Yuanlong's flagship.

"laugh!"

Li Yuanlong pulled out his long sword and stabbed it directly into the other party's body.

"Throw down and feed the fish, and if you question the general's order, you will be killed without mercy!"

"If you pass the order, the one who boards the other's ship first will reward a thousand taels of silver, kill one person, and reward fifty taels of rice, and each person will sink the other's ship. "Li Yuanlong didn't believe it anymore. He could not kill him at just a little distance.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Li Yuanlong's orders were passed to all ships, and they all wanted to take the lead first.

Song Wumian was not impatient and directed the fleet to continue moving forward, leaving enough time for the gunner to install ammunition.

......

Half an hour passed, and Song Wumian commanded the fleet to launch another three rounds of attacks. Almost half of the entire Wu Dynasty naval fleet had lost its combat power. However, they also shortened the distance to within one mile, and the crossbows and catapults on the ships also began to fight back in scattered areas.

"Captain Song, prepare for the battle on the side." Chen He suggested that if he continues to turn the hull, if the other party hits the side, he will suffer a great loss.

"Continue to move forward and load the shotgun!" Song Wumian was not afraid. This shotgun was the last method given to him by Sun Yu. He had never seen the power. Sun Yu explained at that time that he had to get close to him to use it, otherwise it would have no effect.

Li Yuanlong finally let go of his heart. He saw a warship under his command, which had already been launched by the crossbow, grabbed the other party's ship's side and was approaching quickly.

"Brothers, the reward is right in front of me, follow me to kill!" The generals under Li Yuanlong were shouting loudly. With their combat power, it would be impossible to compete with these sailors. I just didn't know what other party's methods were, and I suffered a loss in the attack distance.

More than a hundred people were crowded on the deck, waiting for the ships on both sides to lean together and kill them, and many of them were wearing armor.

"Aim!" All ships have now received orders to fight on their own, and the gunners will

The cannon filled with shotgun aimed at the opponent's deck.

"ignition!"

The fuse burned rapidly, and the gunner was in a nervous look and penetrated the cannon body.

"Bang!" A loud bang scared the officers and soldiers of the Wu Chao navy who were trying to kill him. They saw a black iron egg rushing overwhelmingly, without even hiding, and the armor became a decoration.

After one shot, there were only wailing on the deck, and basically everyone was injured, and there were only a few intact.

Li Yuanlong, who originally planned to lean over the ship and immediately took people to kill the opponent's warship, had to take two steps back when he saw this situation. This was too scary. Even if the Mingguang Armor had good defense, there was something that could not be stopped.

"Bang~" Another cannon sound, and each ship used shotgun to aim at the nearest enemy ships to fire artillery, striving to kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent.

"Hurry up, stand up a shield, hide your body as much as possible and hit it!" Li Yuanlong ordered, "How can we give up when we are close to each other. If we take down the opponent's warship and analyze the mystery of the weapons, why don't we let ourselves hang out on the sea?

"Deputy Commander Chen, please send orders to the front desk to fight. The gunners are not allowed to leave their posts and continue to wait for opportunities to fire the gun. The helmsman is ready to turn around at any time and create more opportunities to fire the gun." Song Wumian drew out his long sword, and he still had to fight hand in hand.

Seeing the ships blazing fire and approaching the opponent's warships, because their ships were small, they set up a ladder to climb to the opponent's warships, Li Yuanlong felt relieved. His brothers were all elites in a hundred battles, and those who survived the harsh battles were not comparable to those of the sailors raised by the other party.

Song Wumian handed over the command of the battles of each ship to the battalion command of each ship. He and Chen He stared at the big ship that the other party was leaning over, with their chief general Li Yuanlong on it.

The surrounding ships shouted and killed the sky, and from time to time, there were also sounds of artillery fire. Chen He carefully put away the telescope, pulled out his long sword, and stood beside Song Wumian.

A thick crossbow arrow shot, and Song Wumian quickly lowered his body and avoided it. At the edge of the deck, a whole team of crossbowmen hid it closely, and he wanted to give the other party a surprise.

With a loud "dong~", the ship where the opponent's general Li Yuanlong was finally hit, and everyone shook their feet and held the weapons in their hands tightly.

"Roar up and kill!"

Li Yuanlong pointed his sword in front of his sword and his soldiers rushed forward. Compared with the flagship where Song Wumian was, this ship was only a few feet shorter and could leap up. As long as he boarded the opponent's warship, he would no longer have to worry about being hit by artillery.

"Shoot!" Song Wumian shouted loudly, and dozens of crossbowmen suddenly stood up and aimed at the enemy rushing up below, and shot in a volley. The distance between them was only less than ten feet, and the powerful crossbow arrows easily tore open the opponent's armor and pierced hard. Some of the armor-free or even bare-armed men were shot directly toward each other.

Li Yuanlong escaped with his keen sense. As soon as the crossbow arrow was shot, he immediately lifted his sword and rushed forward, killing him before the other party was loaded.

"Kill!" Li Yuanlong crossed the side of the ship, jumped on the other party's deck, and shouted loudly to his soldiers.

Song Wumian and Chen He had already brought their men to form a semicircle in front of the deck. At present, the row was a large shield, and behind them were all spearmen.

"prick!"

"Thorn again!"

Song Wumian ordered loudly, no passionate rush, no individual

Brave and not kill the other side. Some of them are just long spears, recycled, and stabbed forward. The Zhongyong Army's excellent iron smelting and forging technology creates a long spear that easily pierces the opponent's ordinary armor. Even Li Yuanlong's Mingguang Armor was stabbed in a small hole. Fortunately, the flesh was not deep, so it would not hurt his life.

Until now, Li Yuanlong was really afraid. He always thought that as long as he boarded the ship, victory was at his fingertips, but he didn't expect that it would be a road of no return. But as the main general, he was unwilling to give up and went back like this. How should he explain to the king?

"Shoot!" The crossbowmen occupied a high place above the cabin behind. Hearing the orders pulled the trigger one after another, smashing the opponent's last courage to resist.

"It's over!"

A thought flashed through Li Yuanlong's mind. Although he tried hard to block it, the pain from his thigh told him that he was still shot. Although the Mingguang Armor was very protective, the Zhongyong Army's powerful crossbow was extremely powerful at this distance.

He looked down and saw that fortunately the arrow was stuck and did not shoot through the armor. He pulled it hard, threw the crossbow arrow to the ground, and turned around and ran towards his ship. This battle could not be fought. The opponent's ship was large and the attack range was far. Now the close-knit fight was so powerful. This was definitely not a sailor raised by a sea merchant, but it was almost the same as the imperial guards under the king.

Li Yuanlong didn't want to die. As long as he could escape with his remaining troops, he could receive some punishment at most and still enjoy wealth and glory. Moreover, as long as he brought back the news that the Han people had new weapons, he might be able to make meritorious contributions. After all, only he had personally felt the power of the weapon.

The remaining naval soldiers who were still alive were not stupid. When they saw that their generals took the lead in running, they followed one after another, fearing that they would be stabbed to death by a spear if they ran too late.

"Stop chasing!" Song Wumian grabbed Chen He who wanted to rush out. Their spear and shield configuration were only suitable for formation and defending, chasing and killing him, and it was easy to be killed by the opponent.

"Yes, they can't escape. The gunners, bomb their sails, use shotguns, and make me a sieve." Chen He realized that with artillery in his hand, why bother to go up and fight to the death? If he could kill the other party's mast, it would be the fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered.

Considering the current accuracy of the gunner, Chen He found it too difficult and unreliable. If he used a shotgun to smash the other party's sail, it would be much easier. Usually at sea, if the sail is broken, then it would be stitched, but if it is hit by the shotgun, it should be difficult to stitch it well.

Song Wumian admired Chen He's order very much. As long as he destroyed the other party's sail, he would have nowhere to escape. There was time to deal with them slowly. I'm afraid that rushing to be a prisoner at that time would be better than drifting on the sea to starve to death.

"Hurry, turn the rudder, let's withdraw!" Li Yuanlong ran into the cabin in one breath before ordering to retreat. The flag bearer quickly conveyed orders to each ship. The other ships were not much better than Li Yuanlong, and they were all in a mess.

Without Li Yuanlong's order, everyone wanted to run but dared not run. Now that they received the order, they turned around and tried to leave the battlefield as soon as possible.

Compared to the smooth wind, the wind power that can be borrowed when you run away is much smaller, and the speed is pitifully slow.
