Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Fierce Battle on the Sideboard
After another half an hour, more than a dozen high-rise ships sailed out of Zhongshan Kingdom and rushed to the edge of the ship formation formed by Beishan Kingdom. The four edges of the formation of the North Mountain Country are full of short boat sampans. As soon as they were brought aboard, they were rampaged by the big ship, and when they boarded, they covered their underside, as if they were trapped.
The armed armor soldiers on the Zhongshan Guolou ship, condescendingly occupied, and they all poked out their spears and stabs to throw arrows and stones. Strong crossbows and hard arrows, shooting each other back and forth, the two armies for a while, the sound of fighting was loud.
Located at the northern tip of Ryukyu Island, Beishan Province is hilly and longitudinal, with many mountains and wilderness, and the people are fierce. At this time, just because the boat was low, under the engagement with the ships of Zhongshan Country, it was naturally disadvantaged. But Rao is like this, but the soldiers on the boat still struggle to resist and fight hard.
Mo Xueyin and Liu Shaoyang sat on the big tree in Gaogang and watched, seeing the two armies fighting, flesh and blood flying, and they were secretly frightened at this moment.
In less than a few quarters of an hour, the dozens of boats at the head of the Beishan Kingdom had already drifted away and sunk completely. Most of the soldiers and samurai on the ship were also killed. More than ten large ships attacked by Zhongshan broke through the front line of Beishan country's sea ships in one fell swoop. At this time, it did not stagnate, and the golden drum was beating, and it rushed straight to the big ship in the formation of the Beishan Country, and in a moment it was already close to the left.
Seeing this situation, Mo Xueyin couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help but lose her voice: "Brother Shaoyang, there are more than ten warships in Zhongshan Country, and they are so powerful. If this continues, the sailors of the Beishan Kingdom are afraid that they will not be able to survive the darkness, and they will be defeated in an instant!"
Liu Shaoyang heard that she was worried, smiled and said calmly: "Since ancient times, the battle arrays have attacked, and the troops in the front are all elite. Just because the front line collapsed, the rear of the Chinese army went down like water, and it was inevitable that it would not be protected. Now that Beishan Country is unreasonable, he dares to put a small boat and a clipper in the front, and he will inevitably have a back hand. Xue Yin, you just have to take a look, maybe this is a trick to lure the enemy, and we don't know!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the warships of the two armies were already screwed together. On the deck of the big ship on the side of Beishan Kingdom, many burly men in linen clothes appeared, holding bundles of tied reeds in their hands, lit them with torches, and threw them towards the big ship approaching Zhongshan Kingdom.
In an instant, more than a dozen ships in Zhongshan Guo rushed into the formation were all on fire, and black smoke filled the air. The soldiers on the ship were quite arrogant in their killing. At this moment, I was unprepared for this change, and I was in a hurry for a while, and I was sad again and again.
Mo Xueyin looked at this scene, her face was pleased, and she said in surprise: "Brother Shaoyang, you guessed well, Beishan Kingdom first resisted with a small boat and a fast boat, which was really a strategy to lure the enemy." It's a pity that the commanders of Zhongshan Kingdom didn't notice it, and they fell for such a big deal!"
Liu Shaoyang stared at the sea with his eyes, and suddenly shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a good plan, but the time is not right." Wound one of the enemy's limbs, and one of your own arms!"
Mo Xueyin heard it in a fog, and said strangely: "Brother Shaoyang, when is it wrong?"
Liu Shaoyang saw that she didn't understand the reason, and said: "Since ancient times, if you use fire to attack on the water, you have to rely on the momentum of the tailwind to succeed in one fell swoop." Now the ships of Zhongshan are coming from the south, and the Beishan State is in the north. But now there is not a north wind on the sea, but a gentle breeze from the south. If you set fire to the ship at such a time, you may even suffer a backlash!"
When Mo Xueyin heard this, she fixed her eyes on the sea and looked. Sure enough, not only did more than ten ships of Zhongshan Kingdom catch fire, but most of the large and small ships of the Beishan Kingdom were also burned downwind. The soldiers on both sides fought hard while fighting the fire. The ships of the two armies engaged in a fight, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The soldiers on both sides waved their swords and spears, and boarded each other to kill each other. Even the helmsman and boatman also danced oars and sticks, and wrestled to resist. With smoke billowing above the sea, it was a melee.
The central main ship ordered the flag to be waved repeatedly, and on the one hand, the ships in battle were ordered to turn the rudder and return to the formation, and on the other hand, they urged the entire sea ship to gallop forward in several formations. I saw that the flag flipped and waved its fingers, and dozens of ships in front of it scattered into a fan shape, and they headed straight north first. The battle array of sea ships of Zhongshan Kingdom attached itself to it, and slowly moved with it.
At this time, seven or eight of the more than ten Zhongshan Guolou ships that were lured to the Beishan National Formation were already damaged and destroyed due to the fire, and they were sunk in the waves. Only four or five ships barely put out the fire, and when they saw the order of their own ship, they turned the bow of the ship and withdrew from the formation.
On the side of Beishan Country, only because the wind was not good, there were also more than a dozen ships of all sizes that lit fires, which were difficult to extinguish for a while. When the rest of the ships saw the enemy ship retreating, they rowed out of the water array to chase after them. The ships in the front line that were in contact with Zhongshan Kingdom caught up, and the two sides were attacking each other with stray arrows and boulders, and the arrows and crossbows were all shot, and many warriors and soldiers were folded against each other.
At that time, the red sun was close to the thin open sea, and the sky was gradually gray. The Beishan Kingdom saw that the enemy's ships were strong, and the Zhongshan National Formation also saw that it was difficult to win for a while, so they each waved their flags and slowly retreated backwards.
