Chapter 48: Retribution
The sky was slightly bright, but the wind still did not stop, and the entire Jiaoxi Bay was still immersed in silence.
Wang Xian staggered to his feet, kicked a few soldiers on the bunk next to him, and shouted listlessly: "Get up, get up, get on the boat!"
Several soldiers rubbed their eyes, got up and put on their clothes, followed Wang Xian, and went out of the room of the barracks.
After getting into the boat, the king straightened up, commanded the soldiers, and rowed the boat towards the port.
"That'...... What is it?"
Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the shore in front of him and shouted.
The king raised his head first, and with the rest of the soldiers, looked in the direction of the sea that the soldier was pointing.
In the sound of the waves, countless black shadows like mountains and mountains rushed to the face, and when they were close, Wang Xian and others could see clearly that they were huge warships, and the banner of the word "Song" on them was clear.
"Get up, get up! Song soldiers are coming!"
Wang Xian and the others were dumbfounded, and then shouted heartbreakingly.
The sound of the "bell" sounded, breaking the silence of the early morning, and the entire puppet Qi sailor camp began to be chaotic.
The Song army's warship ignored it and just crashed straight into it. Wang Xian's warship was small, slow, and unable to dodge, and was suddenly overturned by the big ship. Wang Xian and the others fell into the sea one after another, struggling desperately.
Countless officers and men of the Pseudo-Qi Navy Division ran out of the barracks, and they hurriedly boarded the ships and prepared in a hurry.
The trumpet-shaped Jiaoxi Bay is 60 miles long from north to south and nearly 60 miles wide from east to west, so there is no problem even if thousands of ships are berthed.
The sailors and warships of the Loyal and Righteous Army raced into the bay and headed to the west, where the Pseudo-Qi warships were concentrated. A group of warships quickly moved forward, and hundreds of warships docked on the west bank clearly appeared in front of everyone.
"Row over, don't use rockets, load ammunition, aim at the barracks on the shore!"
On the puppet Qi warship, many soldiers found the swarming loyal warships. They hurriedly rowed and hoisted their sails, trying to sail out and avoid being surrounded on the west shore and becoming turtles in urns.
A distance of a few miles, in a blink of an eye. Seeing that the opponent's warship stopped two or three hundred meters away from his own ship, it swung horizontally, the gun window on the side of the ship opened, and the cannon of one door was pushed out, and the black muzzle of the gun was aimed at them.
The pseudo-Qi soldiers panicked, and the feather arrows shot from the boat, but they fell into the water one after another. At a distance of two or three hundred meters, it is tantamount to a fantasy to shoot at the loyal soldiers on the opposite side.
More than a dozen puppet Qi warships sailed out and crashed into the ships of the Loyal Army. The puppet Qi sergeants on the ship stretched their bows and crossbows, and many soldiers hurriedly prepared bed crossbows, artillery and other things, ready to take on the side for close combat.
"Open the cannon, first knock down the thieves on the ship, the grenadiers follow, and destroy these dog thieves for me!"
Li Bao was furious, and he was so justified as a "traitor". was surrounded, and even resisted stubbornly. When fighting against the Jin people, how did I not see them have such courage.
"Pong! Disheveled! Ponto!"
Hundreds of cannons opened fire together, the air was torn apart, and a piercing scream was released, and countless iron bullets whistled and fired straight towards the approaching pseudo-Qi ships.
Caught off guard, the pseudo-Qi sergeants on the deck fell down, and the gunners and bed crossbowmen who were exposed on the deck were basically swept away, and the iron bullets smashed everywhere on the ship.
Several pseudo-Qi generals hiding behind the side of the ship, still immersed in the experience of previous naval battles, waved their arms and shouted loudly.
"Brothers, these Song dogs are just relying on the power of artillery, and once they fight in close quarters, they will immediately fart! Brothers, mark it!"
The Pseudo-Qi sailors rowed their oars hard to get away from the ships of the Loyal Army
As they got closer and closer, some of the Pseudo-Qi sergeants who had just been shelled stretched out their heads, stretched out their bows and arrows, and prepared to attack.
"Pong! Disheveled! Ponto!"
The sound of artillery rang out one after another, and countless iron bullets covered the entire Pseudo-Qi ships that came to them.
A pseudo-Qi general had just exposed half of his body, and iron bullets whistled. The officer screamed and flew out, his upper body was covered with holes in blood, lying in a pool of blood, and he howled out from the heavens and the earth.
Countless puppet Qi officers and soldiers lay on the deck wriggling, moaning, and screaming, while the others hid behind the deck, not daring to show their bodies. Some of the sergeants on the ships turned pale and lost the courage to move on.
More than a dozen sea ships approached, the soldiers smashed hundreds of grenades, the sawdust on the ships flew, and the pseudo-Qi soldiers screamed again and again, Li Bao led the soldiers to rush up, and quickly controlled the dozen or so warships.
"Pong! Disheveled! Ponto!"
Walls of smoke rose from the warships of the Loyal and Righteous Army, but this time they were aimed at the military camp on the shore of the Puppet Qi Army. Solid iron balls are flying in the air, and the momentum is really terrifying!
The military camp on the shore is already in chaos at the moment. Iron balls smashed into the crowd, bringing up countless casualties and blurred flesh and blood. One by one, the barracks collapsed, and the puppet Qi soldiers in the houses suffered heavy casualties, and they fled from the houses one after another, scattering in all directions, not knowing where to flee to.
Xu Wen woke up from his sleep, and before he had time to get dressed neatly, he ran out of the barracks. Seeing the corpses outside in a mess, he realized that his fleet had been attacked by the Loyal Army.
"Hurry up and get the boat down! Otherwise, sooner or later, you'll be playing with eggs!"
Seeing that his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, Xu Wen was furious and drove the officer to the ship to command.
The puppet Qi soldiers on the shore braved the artillery fire and boarded the warship. Under the command of the generals, they wanted to row the boat out of the bay, but they were already surrounded by the other party, and it was difficult to move.
"The heavy artillery is aimed at the thieves on the shore, and the small artillery is in charge of the ship. The whole army is ready, ready to fight hand-to-hand at any time!"
Seeing that his soldiers were pressed and beaten, with heavy casualties, Xu Wen was anxious and angry. If it continues like this, it won't take half an hour, and I'm afraid that my sailors will be wiped out.
The other party's artillery was so fierce that Xu Wen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, this was definitely not the navy of the Great Song Dynasty, and they didn't have such combat power.
"These patrol guys, all fucking damn good!"
Xu Wen scolded fiercely. I don't know how these stupid pigs patrol below, the other party's fleet entered the harbor, and no one detected it.
Xu Wen has served as the admiral of the Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years, and he has never seen any kind of vicious battle, but it is the first time that he has encountered such an encounter today.
The key is the firepower of the other side, powerful and terrible. In order to win this war, the only way to win this war is to engage in hand-to-hand combat, taking advantage of the hand-to-hand combat with the other side, and then arrange for other ships to take the opportunity to sail out of the harbor. Otherwise, if the other party is allowed to shell like this, it will definitely be a dead end!
"Xu Dutong, it was Liu Hu who took refuge in the Song army and brought them in!"
The soldier stepped forward to report, Xu Wen jumped like thunder, and scolded loudly: "Liu Hu of this dog day, if I catch him, I will cramp and peel the skin, so that he will not die well!"
He looked at the other party's ship, and the banner of the "Loyal Army" fluttered in the wind, which made him stunned.
"Let all the warships raise their sails and rush outside, or today will be a dead end!"
Xu Wen settled down, and understood in his heart that the other party was here to take revenge, and there was no advance or retreat today.
His eyes were red, and he said viciously: "If anyone dares to shrink back, Lao Tzu will cut off his head immediately!"
Under the continuous shelling of the loyal and righteous army, Xu Wen's subordinates suffered heavy casualties, and many ships were no longer commanding generals, leaving them to the other side
Indiscriminate bombardment.
Moreover, despite the heavy casualties on their side, the other party did not stop their posture, and it was clear that they wanted to massacre on a large scale.
Xu Wen took the lead, and his subordinates drove the remaining more than 200 warships and rammed into the outside on a rampage.
At the same time, several large sea vessels, having raised their sails, sailed along the north coast, trying to reach the mouth of the bay.
"Brothers, rush over, Song Gou can't help us!"
Xu Wen shouted loudly, standing on a big boat in the middle, commanding these big ships, and moving forward. As long as you escape from the harbor, there is an endless sea outside, and the other party wants to pursue you, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
In the bay, more than 200 Pseudo-Qi ships under the command of the Pseudo-Qi officers marched forward bravely, seemingly wanting to stick to the ship in close combat and make a last stand.

"Pass the order, let the east side get out of the gap, and there is General Cai at the mouth of the bay to deal with them!"
Seeing several large ships heading east, Li Bao gave a military order to the outermost warship.
Xu Wen was also stunned when he saw that the other party's ship got out of the way. However, at this moment, the war situation is critical, and he cannot be allowed to think about it carefully. Several warships quickly headed towards the harbor.
Soon arrived at the port, Xu Wen commanded his subordinates to drive several large ships, turned eastward, and went straight to Chenjia Island.
The port is less than four miles. As soon as Xu Wen's several large ships arrived at the port, he saw more than a dozen large ships on the opposite side lined up side by side, and the guns on the ships were aimed at the port.
The arrow was ready to be sent and had to be sent, and Xu Wen also knew that there was no way out at this time. He said loudly: "Don't stop, break out, fight with Song Gou!"
"Pong! Disheveled! Ponto!"
Countless iron balls rushed straight towards the several pseudo-Qi ships that came forward like a raging storm.
The sound of artillery was endless, and Xu Wen and the others on the big ship couldn't raise their heads. Just as they were still thinking about how to fight back and how to escape, a rocket from the opposite side fired.
The oil sails on the warship were most afraid of catching fire, and the opponent's rockets were whistling, and the long sails on the big ships were on fire, and the speed slowed down suddenly.
With the help of artillery suppression, more than a dozen warships took advantage of the wind to move forward, and a few of them even crashed directly into the warships of Xu Wen and others.
The puppet Qi officers and soldiers on the warship fell one by one. Before they could get up and raise their heads to fight back, the other party had already hooked the boat tightly with a hook and boarded it.
Xu Wen was brave and brave, and forced the loyal soldiers who attacked him with a knife. He struggled to slash the two of them, but the three soldiers on the other side did not avoid or retreat, and the spears flew like flying, rushing towards all the key points on his body.
"Straight lady thief, among the Song people, there are still such soldiers who are not afraid of death!"
Xu Wen secretly complained in his heart. Before he could cut off his long knife, he had already suffered a blow on his leg, and he couldn't help the pain, and suddenly knelt on the deck.
One spear pierced Xu Wen's armpit, and the other spear pierced his throat directly. The two loyal soldiers were expressionless and drew their spears.
Xu Wen knelt on the deck, clutching his neck, but he couldn't stop the blood, and soon his chest was red.
Xu Wen collapsed on the deck with his eyes open. In a blur, he saw his men being stabbed over, kneeling on the deck full of his soldiers, all shadows fading away, and he fell into the infinite darkness......
"The native chicken tile dog also dares to plunder the sea ship and kill my soldiers!"
In one part of the bay, Li Bao found two original sea ships with a little sulfur on them. The sea ship can basically be used, and it can be regarded as a complete return.
On March 28, the 2nd year of the Great Song Dynasty Jianyan, the Loyal and Righteous Navy destroyed the Puppet Qi Navy, captured countless warships, and Xu Wen, the commander of the Puppet Qi Navy, was killed in battle. At the same time, the Loyal and Righteous Army occupied Haizhou, Mizhou and Jiaoxi City, and the entire Haizhou and Mizhou were under the control of the Loyal and Righteous Army.
