Chapter 380: Served
The enemy's Batu ship was like a hammer smashing walnuts against the brave Wuyan boat, but for the dragon ship, it was equivalent to smashing on the iron plate, and they could not pose a threat to it at all, Zhao Yu commanded the Warrior to sink three enemy ships in succession, tearing the enemy's battle line, opening a gap, and then he commanded other dragon ships to form an inverted 'er' shaped defense line. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Chen Renweng also commanded the ships to separate the enemy ships that had collided with the volunteers from the chaotic war group, and to fight with them, and at the same time guide the volunteers to return to the shallow water area through the gap opened by His Majesty to avoid the collision of the enemy ships, and enter the waterway along the coast.
"Your Majesty, your bed crossbow is really powerful!" Liu Shiyong praised the good ship and the good weapon. At this time, in order to stabilize the escape route for the volunteers, the bow and tail of the warship formed a loose defensive line against each other, and attacked the approaching enemy ships with gunfire. The enemy army tried to break through, constantly firing bows and arrows to shoot at the Song army, but how could their bows and arrows be compared with the ballistas, shooting on the dragon boat was just a sound, and a few salvos of ballistas in a row caused them to suffer heavy casualties, constantly retreating, and the arrows shot fell far into the water, and they couldn't even touch the edge.
"Of course, the ballistas equipped on our ship can't stop a salvo even if it's a giant whale in the sea, and these few small shrimps are not enough for dishes!" Zhao Hao said with a smile.
"Hehe, Your Majesty is very right to speak to the appetite of the subordinates, but it's a pity that you can't be a general under your command and advance in the Imperial Force!" Liu Shiyong touched his short beard and smiled, but the bitterness of the smile was clearly clear.
"Eh, General Liu is bad, and he is not a prince on the shore of the land, how can he say that he did not do his best for His Majesty!" At this time, the boat was stable, and Liu Huang was also active, and came over to speak.
"Alas, Governor Liu said so, but a certain family is just an idler, how can you talk about doing your best!" Liu Shiyong sighed.
"Your Majesty, look at what General Liu is asking you to do!" Liu Huang smiled at His Majesty.
"General Liu's talent is rare, and I also want to give him an official, but unfortunately I don't count what I said, why don't you recommend it to Lu Xiang!" Zhao Yu also said with a wry smile.
"Chen Shangshu, Your Majesty has an edict to recommend virtuous people to Prime Minister Lu, do you think there is a suitable position?" Liu Huang turned his face and kicked the ball to Chen Zhongwei again, and put on the emperor's hat.
"This ...... In the past, the DPRK was commanded by the Soviet capital and led the people's army, and now he is in charge of the palace front army has no time to take care of it, and after tonight, I am afraid that the people's army is already dissatisfied with it, if General Liu is not too low, we can recommend General Liu to command. Chen Zhong pondered for a moment and said, he had already seen that Su Liuyi, who commanded the people's army, not only did not send troops to rescue the volunteers who defected outside the village, but also closed the gate of the village and did not allow them to enter.
"Oh, now there are nearly 100,000 civilian troops in the Xing Dynasty, and I will have to rely on General Liu to take care of it in the future!" The Book of Rites seems to be on the same level as the other five books, but in fact it is half a level higher than them, as if it is the head of the six. Now that there are the two of them, the matter is half, Zhao Yu turned around and bowed to Liu Shiyong.
"Your Majesty, don't make fun of the minister, as long as you can contribute to Your Majesty, the minister will never give up!" Seeing this, Liu Shiyong hurriedly returned the salute.
"I can't afford it, what you want to thank is the kindness of the two adults!" Zhao Yu pointed at them.
"Thank you, two adults!" Liu Shiyong turned around and thanked him again.
"Your Majesty, Commander Chen has sent a signal that they have cut off the contact between the two armies and asked to attack!" The lookout then said.
"Yes, it's time for us to close the net!" Zhao Yu saw that most of the volunteer fleet had entered the safe waters, and ordered.
"Notify the ships, close the formation, trap the enemy, and resolutely sink those who do not surrender!" Zhao Yu ordered.
Each ship was ordered to follow the Warrior to change formation, forming a glaive formation and marching in unison, gradually narrowing the distance between them to drive the enemy ships towards the shallow bay. At this time, the enemy ships had realized that what they encountered was not an ordinary Song Dynasty naval army, and they could not fight against it with their strength, so some wanted to take advantage of the fact that the encirclement had not yet been closed, and took advantage of the small speed of their ships to pass through the gap between them. The poor Yuan army who tried to escape did not know that the most powerful thing about the dragon boat was the angle of attack at the bow of the ship, which was densely packed with ballistae on both sides, and it had to undergo the baptism of more than 20 ballistae salvos from the middle of the ships.
The unknown Yuan warship rushed into the gap between the dragon ships desperately, seeing that the enemy army did not 'have time' to close the formation and thought that it was a plan, thinking that it could finally escape, but did not expect that the bowstring sounded, a torrential rain of stone bullets, crossbow arrows smashed over the head and face, and some people didn't even have time to scream and sank to the bottom of the sea with the smashed colander like a smashing coland, and there were not a few bubbles. Where did the other enemy ships dare to break through again, they could only desperately retreat and try to break through in a roundabout way.
The Batu boat is running fast, that is compared with other ships, but compared with the dragon ship that is good at mobility, it is over, and a few more eager to escape were hit and sunk, and the remaining more than ten Batu boats were caught in the 'net'. Jumping into the water in the dark night had no intention of committing suicide, and after a moment of hesitation, they lowered their masts, abandoned their swords and guns at their feet, and fell to their knees! Zhao Yu ordered two ships to be left to monitor, and the rest of the warships turned to reinforce Chen Renweng's troops, but the battle over there was also nearing its end. After several battles against such a tall and thick-skinned large ship, they have summed up the tactics of response, which can give full play to the advantages of the dragon ship.
After the Yuan army was sunk and damaged four ships in the struggle, the other ships did not dare to be arrogant anymore, thinking of taking advantage of the low tide to withdraw along the current, but they had already turned from hunters to prey at this time, and under the pursuit of the dragon boats, two ships rushed to the shoal and ran aground in a panic without knowing the hydrology, and could only be put on the mast to raise and lower the flag, so as to avoid the fate of being sunk. Three of the other ships were sunk by the joint impact of the dragon boats, and the remaining one and the other two injured saw that the waterway ahead had been intercepted by the Song army, and there was no way to retreat!
At the end of the battle, the volunteers who escaped from danger returned to the sea to find their comrades who fell into the water, and the guards also dispatched more than a dozen medium-sized warships to assist, while the dragon boats were cruising on the surrounding sea to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack.
"Your Majesty, the minister believes it!" Liu Shiyong, who had been silent for a long time, said suddenly.
"Oh, what do you believe?" Zhao Hao, who was staring at the sea, twisted his face and asked.
"Your Majesty, when I heard that Your Majesty commanded the Qiongzhou Navy to defeat Liu Shen, I had doubts, and it was hard to believe that Your Majesty had such a brave strategy. Liu Shiyong implements a courtesy...... (To be continued.) )
