Without any bells and whistles, more than a hundred warships lined up neatly and began the attack.
As the distance between the two sides got closer, the trebuchets equipped on the Han army's warships began to show their power.
Some of these ships were converted from merchant ships, but all the weapons and equipment on them were brand new.
Especially these trebuchets, these things were made with great difficulty by the lunatics from the Wuhan Institute of Technology.
It's just that some improvements have been made to the original trebuchet. The original trebuchet used all leather ropes or beef tendons when launching.
And the trebuchets they are using now all use springs as power.
Speaking of which, the materials for these springs were accidentally discovered by the craftsmen when they were studying artillery materials.
This kind of steel has excellent elasticity. Although it cannot be used to make gun barrels, it can be made into springs and then loaded on trebuchets, which is even more powerful.
Not only is the power obviously more powerful, but also because these springs are all sealed with a thick layer of butter.
Therefore, they can better cope with extreme weather. Even if it is pouring rain, these trebuchets can be launched freely.
And more importantly, those madmen from the Wuhan Institute of Technology also specially added a limit plate on it.
It can be used to control the strength of the trebuchet. In this way, it can ensure that the trebuchet can quickly switch between high power and fast firing rate.
For the navy that has been fighting at sea for a long time, this is really an unparalleled weapon.
The distance between the two sides was still 500 steps, and the Han army's trebuchets had already begun to show their power. On Min Zhen's side, the trebuchets on their ships had a range of less than 300 steps.
So this also means that the Han army can at least launch 3 to 4 rounds of attacks before them.
After the first round of projectiles landed, not only the Wei navy was completely confused.
Even the Han army himself was shocked and dropped this round.
More than a hundred solid projectiles were fired, and in the end, five enemy ships were directly sunk.
And there are more than a dozen enemy ships, and they are starting to show signs of glory.
This accuracy is really a bit outrageous!
"General, these Han weapons!"
"Shut up! If you dare to disturb the morale of our army again, you will be killed without mercy."
A deputy general was about to speak, but was rudely interrupted by Min Zhen.
It's already reached this point, and they have no way to retreat. They are now within the range of the Han army, and there is no other choice but to rush forward.
After all, all they use are sailboats, and they are now downwind.
If he turned around and ran away, he would be facing a headwind.
The speed will only be slower than now. At that time, it will be a real one-sided massacre.
After a brief silence, thunderous cheers erupted from the Han army's warships.
"No, this won't work. If we continue to fight like this, those grandsons won't be able to run away?"
After the brief moment of joy, Li Tianxing was stunned for a moment, and he quickly came to his senses.
"Then we can't just take a beating and not fight back, right?"
Several generals and commanders nearby said with some reluctance.
"Our mission is to lead them to the deep sea, not to annihilate them here. This place is too close to the land. If they turn around and run away, there is nothing we can do to them. Unless we send all these grandchildren into the sea, We are always a little uneasy on the inland river."
Li Tianxing rolled his eyes at them.
No matter what, the most important thing is to complete the task first.
"Then what should we do?"
"Pass it to me immediately. From now on, when you launch, you will be a little tilted! Don't hit them again! By the way, pass the order down and block the dozen or so broken ships in front, and wait until they all sink. Okay, let’s just turn around.”
Following Li Tianxing's order, the accuracy of the Han army's projectiles suddenly missed by a lot.
Min Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't know that this was done intentionally by the Han army.
He had lost so many ships in just one encounter, which made him, an old fox, feel a little uneasy.
If the Han army's accuracy was so accurate, then he would really be unable to win this battle.
"The distance is almost there, tell the soldiers to prepare to fight back."
It was finally his turn. After being beaten for such a long time, Min Zhen felt an evil fire in his heart.
"Aim at the warships in front of me and be sure to sink them all."
Different from the Han army's tactics, Min Zhen deeply understood a truth.
It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt ten of them.
Especially in naval battles, if the opponent cannot be directly sunk, the opponent will always have the strength to fight back.
After all, the warship is not made of flesh and blood. As long as it can still float, it can continue to fight back.
Instead of damaging dozens of enemy ships there, it would be better to concentrate the firepower and hit them with a few hard shots.
They were now on the sea, and the closer they were, the more confident they were, so he immediately set his target on the dozen or so ships blocking their way.
Listening to the rumbling war drums on the ships, Min Zhen began to sneer in his heart.
Except for the initial wave of these Han troops, which indeed showed a bit of super performance, the remaining attacks did not even hurt their hair. This accuracy was really bad.
"put!"
Following his order, the trebuchets on all Wei's warships were aimed at the dozen or so ships at the front of the Han army.
"Hit!"
"well played!"
The distance had just reached 300 steps. Under a salvo, the three warships at the front of the Han army were directly penetrated through the bottom of the ship.
The soldiers above didn't even have time to struggle before they were already floating on the water.
This can be considered a good start!
The soldiers of Wei's Korea suddenly became excited. Under the command of Min Zhen, they fired several rounds of salvos and all the ten warships at the front of the Han army sank.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining warships immediately began to prepare, turned around and ran away.
"Commander, they want to escape!"
Seeing that the Han army's formation was beginning to become chaotic, the eyes of the lieutenants under Min Zhen were all red.
"It's not that easy to run away. We have a tailwind now! Chase me!"
Although Min Zhen also felt that it was a bit unbelievable that the battle went smoothly, but after all, it was on the vast sea.
The fighter opportunity was fleeting. If he let these Han people run away now, it would be extremely difficult to catch up again.
"Are these people too stupid? Didn't they realize that there wasn't even a single struggling soldier on the sunken ships?"
On Lingxing Island, Han Sanjin couldn't help but curl his lips.
