During the confrontation between the two armies and navies, a hot air balloon suddenly rose from the land. At that height, even the two armies above the sea could see it.

Jiangdong Navy had already been mentally prepared for this scene.

But for the enemy coalition navy, when they saw the hot air balloon taking off, they were stunned on the spot.

The enemy navy, which had some internal disputes at first, whether they were generals or ordinary soldiers, turned their heads and looked at each other in disbelief.

At such a long distance, many soldiers' vision was a little blurry, and the height of the hot air balloon was not as impressive as the close range on land.

But the sight of being able to fly into the air still gave the navy on the sea deep shock and disbelief!

Flying to the sky and escaping from the earth was a myth in ancient times!

……

Lu Meng had been observing with a telescope. When he saw the hot air balloon taking off, he immediately looked at the enemy navy and found that the enemy was in a state of uncertainty.

"General Gan, it's time to attack! Lu Meng said lightly:"It's a pity that the distance is too far and it's not as shocking as on land!""

"In fact, there is no need to play such tricks at all. With the military quality of those pirates, our Jiangdong Navy can defeat them head-on!"Gan Ning said confidently.

Confidence comes from self-confidence, but Gan Ning will never underestimate the enemy. He will never make such a low-level mistake.

After Gan Ning and other generals gave the order, the Jiangdong Navy moved into action again, with a They formed a battle formation and attacked towards the opposite side.

After seeing this scene, the soldiers of the enemy navy who were in a state of shock woke up one by one.

"Don't be dumbfounded! The Jiangdong navy attacks!"

"Archers prepare! After the two sides close the distance, shoot arrows directly at them! Want rockets!"

"Remember not to let them get close! We are no match for the Jiangdong Navy in the boarding battle!"

"The wind is against us! Turn the rudder to the upwind!"

"Our fleet is too poorly equipped. Don't spread out and fight back with more enemies and fewer enemies! If you are defeated, then find a way to retreat!"

"If you can beat me, fight, if you can't beat me, run away! Surrounded by the Nansha Islands, after we ran away. If the Jiangdong navy disperses and pursues them, they can defeat them one by one!"

"Damn it, hurry up! Chirping, turn the sail!"

After seeing the Jiangdong Navy attack, the enemy officers and soldiers took action one by one. Although their military literacy was not good, they were pirates who had been plundering for many years after all.

Each battleship and each fleet was under the command of their respective leaders. Next, they skillfully engaged in combat.

While these enemy navy were busy, a Jiangdong navy had entered the shooting range from far to near. At this range, the enemy navy's arrows It is difficult to shoot, but for the Jiangdong Navy, it is already within their shooting range.

This is the advantage of being well equipped!

This Jiangdong Navy has more than ten warships, with crossbows, arrows, and small trebuchets. Wait, all the equipment is ready.

Just as this Jiangdong naval force was getting ready, other detachments approached one after another and took up attack positions from all directions.

If the wind direction is unfavorable, they will still need to spend time adjusting and driving farther sea ​​surface attack.

After all, when shooting against the wind, the arrow's accuracy will be blown away by the wind speed, which is a waste of time and arrow consumption.

"Light the gunpowder!"

The crossbow arrows of the crossbow, the arrows of the repeating crossbow, the bombs on the trebuchets, etc. are all hung with gunpowder.

Some are tied to the arrows, of different sizes. Some are bombs used as instruments. The fuses on them are all It is very long to prevent it from exploding halfway.

Moreover, the weight of the gunpowder has been strictly calculated. Otherwise, if it is too heavy, it will be difficult to drive the arrow.

"sizzling——"

After the deputy beside him ignited the gunpowder, the operator immediately fired the ballista arrows and trebuchet shells.

Whoosh!

The long and big arrows on the crossbow flew directly through the air. The target is the bulkhead of the enemy warship to destroy the enemy warship.

Those repeating crossbow arrows were densely aimed at the soldiers on the enemy warships. Regardless of whether it can cause too much power, it can at least create a panic.

The bombs on the trebuchet, just like in land battles, can cause large-scale strafing of the enemy. If the iron filings and nails are pierced, the wound will be infected in all likelihood.

……

"Damn it! This distance is not within our range at all!"

"Find cover quickly!"

"Boom boom boom——"

"bang bang bang——"

Amidst the commotion of the enemy navy, the ballista arrows hit the battleship bulkhead directly. The fine steel arrows on it penetrated directly, the tail feathers swayed violently, and the gunpowder hanging on the arrows burned sizzlingly. With.

There was a roar and it exploded!

The warship made of wood could not withstand such a powerful explosion, and a hole was directly exposed!

The battleship even heard a violent vibration and was shaking unsteadily!

It was difficult for the enemy navy officers and soldiers to stick their heads out to watch because of the dense rain of arrows falling down.

Those repeating crossbow arrows are mainly about quantity, not quality. It doesn’t matter whether the shot is successful or not, the main thing is to create a panic to the enemy!

The dense arrows were loaded with gunpowder and might not be very powerful, but when they accumulated, they felt like maggots on their tarsus.

Of course, some arrows and crossbows missed due to wind direction and speed.

However, under the simultaneous attack of hundreds of warships from the Jiangdong Navy, most of them still fell on the enemy warships.

The most terrifying thing is the bomb thrown by the trebuchet!

"Dangdang——"

Because the fuse was too long, the bomb fell on the deck of the battleship and did not explode. Because no damage was caused, the enemy soldiers did not pay attention yet.

However, when the fuse burned to the end and the gunpowder exploded, a powerful force swept across all directions. This shock wave carried iron filings and shot out in all directions.

Tuk-tuk-tuk -

A large number of soldiers around them had iron filings and nails pierced into their bodies.

Some of them hit the vital point and died immediately. Some were so injured that the arteries stopped bleeding. Some are just skin injuries, but seeing rusty nails is scary!

As pirate soldiers who lick blood from their swords, they naturally understand that when rusty weapons enter the body, a fatal wound infection will occur.

There are no antibiotics in this era. Everything depends on physical fitness. If you are lucky, you will survive. If you are not lucky, you will die directly.

This caused them to panic!

With the morale of the army unstable, the enemy leaders also understood that the situation was over and chose to retreat without hesitation.

Not all of the crossbow arrows and trebuchet bombs of the Jiangdong Navy fell on the battleship deck, some also fell into the water.

The bombs were extinguished directly by the sea surface, and some happened to burn out and exploded directly. It also caused waves to rise one after another on the sea.

Under this situation, the enemy navy turned around and chose to retreat without hesitation.

At this time, the battleship bulkhead created by the crossbow arrows exploded, and the effect was reflected. After the battleship turned sharply, the sea water soaked in, and the ship sank.

"Why is there a big hole in the side wall?!"

"Was the explosion just for this purpose?!"

"Jump ship quickly! The whirlpool after a shipwreck can kill people!"

The enemy officers and soldiers were like dumplings. After abandoning the boat, they jumped directly into the sea. They had no choice. The shipwreck would be more harmful.

This choice was obviously to seek medical treatment in a hurry. Many people died in panic. On top of this suicidal jumping ship.

But those soldiers who did not jump off the ship and had big holes blown out of the ship wall were not much better. After more and more seawater infiltrated, the ship sank and rolled up. The whirlpool.

Some people were lucky enough to hug the sail pillars on the deck, and some were directly caught in the whirlpool and drowned.

The scene was extremely miserable, and the wailing of the enemy officers and soldiers could be heard all around.

Under this situation, the Jiangdong Navy had no chance. They chose to attack without hesitation. The battleships pursued the enemy, and the Jiangdong Army above shot directly at the enemy's bows and arrows.

Some lucky enemy fleets, perhaps with good leadership and timely response, were lucky enough to escape the attack, but many of them escaped. They were in a state of embarrassment.

The Jiangdong Navy did not intend to let it go. They took advantage of the victory and pursued it, killing the enemy to the point where they abandoned their armor. So far in this battle, the Jiangdong Navy has won a complete victory.
