After receiving the news that Liu Wenjun's fleet arrived to defeat the enemy and save the search fleet, no new battle situation came. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Although Zhao Hao is very anxious, he can't show it so as not to mess up the morale of the army, after all, he is the 'pillar', if he panics first, the generals will be even more uncontrollable. And he also knew that once it was dark, it was easy for carrier pigeons to get lost in the vast sea, and it was even more difficult to pass on the news, so he had to wait for the sentinel ship to return.

So the only thing you can do now is to wait, but you can't wait. Zhao Yu ordered a letter to Zheng Huchen, asking him to immediately find out why so many enemy warships suddenly appeared, where and how many of the transferred warships were hidden, who was in charge of this naval army, and whether it was to be used in Qiongzhou. In addition, he closely monitored and instigated Du and Liu Shen to find out the movements of the naval army in Guangzhou, and tried to find out whether it was accurate to occupy the city with troops.

The other is to stop the smuggling of the Yuan Water Army, after all, they are more aggressive towards Qiongzhou, and once they fight, of course, the less the better. It is now possible to rely only on sentinel ships to find targets, and then send ships to reinforce the target, which is obviously no longer applicable. One is to increase the danger of the sentinel ship, after all, it is not designed to be used for combat, and forcible behavior will only increase losses.

The reaction speed of the two is too slow, if the enemy ship is close to the coastal side of the main road, and then send a warship to intercept it when the news is received here, it is likely that the enemy ship has already passed through the strait. And this incident is a lesson, if it were not for the fact that the cordon had just been revised, and the enemy ships had strayed in, it would have been difficult to detect at all. The side also exposed the weakness of its slow response, and had to increase its troops one by one, and it became a confused battle. There is also the patrol method of the sentinel ship, although they seem to be very dense and frequent, but the patrol route is fixed, once the enemy finds out the law or there is a loophole to drill, the enemy can avoid the surveillance of the sentinel ship and successfully smuggle in.

Idle is also idle, Zhao Yu discussed with Liu Zhu and his staff how to change this passive situation and weave the net more densely, so that the enemy army has no holes to drill. Liu Zhu proposed that a large fleet of ships could be sent to defend both ends of the strait, and all those who entered would be sunk, but Zhao Yu immediately vetoed it. The strait is so wide, how many warships have to be sent to see it seamlessly. Moreover, the movement of the army is not a trivial matter, people eat horses and feed, the loss of warships and logistical supplies are all multiplied, and it is simply impossible to afford to be stationed abroad for a long time.

Everyone discussed and discussed, and did not come up with a good plan, when the time came, suddenly a sentinel ship returned, the fleet had been defeated, and the enemy army had returned, and it would be half an hour before it could arrive at the port. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and persuaded the little emperor to go back to rest first, and ask in detail tomorrow. But Zhao Hao, who had something on his mind, could sleep, and insisted on waiting for the fleet to return and ask about the situation.

After waiting a little longer, the fleet began to enter the port one after another. Preparations have already been made here, and the wounded will be sent to the medical hospital, and personnel will be arranged to replenish supplies and eat and rest. Liu Wenjun, Dong Yicheng and Chen Renweng heard that the little emperor was still waiting for them, so they only washed their faces and hurried over. After Zhao Hao asked a few words, he asked Liu Wenjun to report on the ......

When Liu Wenjun led his team to the battlefield, it was already too late, and at this time the enemy had already arrived with more than 70 warships. Judging from the current situation, it is not favorable to oneself, because it was not expected in advance to encounter so many enemy ships, and the own warships that arrived here first are small in tonnage and weak in firepower, and the dragon ships as the main force are difficult to destroy the enemy ships with ballistas because they are not equipped with flowering shells, and they have to cover their own sentinel ships, and they cannot exert their mobility, so it is difficult to launch a wanton collision with the enemy in a large enemy formation.

Those small warships are weak in their ability to resist attacks, and at this moment they cannot break into the dead end of their shooting under the fierce bombardment of the enemy's trebuchets, and the biggest threat to them is still the gold juice cannon fired by the enemy, as long as the fire oil in it touches the ship, it will cause a fire, even with water, it is difficult to extinguish. And the oil splashed on the surface of the sea was still burning, and it was terrifying to roll with the waves. As a result, they can only use evacuation formations to evade, and it is difficult to concentrate fire on enemy warships.

Seeing that the scene was a little chaotic, Liu Wenjun immediately raised the flag to take over the command, and ordered Chen Renweng to attack the enemy fleet from the left flank, dragging them to buy time for himself to line up; At the same time, the remaining small warships were moved back to temporarily leave the battlefield, and then organized and then organized into the formation. In his opinion, although his side seemed to have an advantage in the number of warships at this time, the only ones with the most combat effectiveness were the ten dragon ships of the Destroying Front Army and the five medium-sized warships of 2,000 stone that had just arrived, which could barely be called evenly matched.

However, they also had an advantage, and the five medium-sized warships of the mobile fleet led by Liu Wenjun were equipped with heavy ballistas and rocket launchers. The rest were all thousand-stone warships, including 20 rocket ships, 20 gunboats equipped with medium-sized ballistas, and 3 baggage ships equipped with self-defense weapons, so they had an absolute advantage in firepower.

Due to the lack of winds in the current season, the warships of both sides were driven by oars, and of course whoever occupied the upper reaches of the current had the advantage of the situation. Liu Wenjun took advantage of the time for the dragon ships to block the enemy ships, and quickly seized the upstream with the advantage of being familiar with the sea conditions, and he lined up two horizontal columns with rocket ships in front of the formation, and then lined up the gunboats in five columns led by five medium-sized warships, and the rest of the sentinel ships cruised in the formation to deal with the small enemy ships inserted into his own battle formation.

As soon as the battle formation was formed, Liu Wenjun ordered Chen Renweng's Destroying Front Army to quickly turn south and leave the battlefield, and at this moment, the enemy ship formation had been completely chaotic under the rampage of the dragon ships, at least seven ships were sunk, and some were not sunk by the impact, but they had to withdraw from the battle. However, the dragon fleet also paid the price, although their tops were covered with iron sheets, and the hull was covered with cowhide to prevent the enemy's fire attack, but they could not help the continuous burning of the fire oil, and the roofs of two ships were already on fire, the masts were burned, and the side sides were also on fire, and it was difficult to fight again.

After the Destroyer Army broke away, without waiting for the enemy to breathe, Liu Wenjun ordered the rocket ship to fire rockets at the enemy formation. At present, the armies have been equipped with new types of rockets and have also undergone training in live firing, but the scene of so many rockets firing together in a salvo has not yet been seen, and even veterans who have participated in several naval battles are shocked. At present, rockets use multi-tube launchers, and each rocket ship is equipped with four, and a salvo of 20 rocket ships is nearly 500.

In the midst of the loud bang, everyone felt that the warship trembled, and their ears could not hear anything except the 'buzzing' tinnitus, and the entire fleet was shrouded in the smoke of gunpowder in front of them, and nothing could be seen except the rapid flashing orange-red tail flame. After more than a dozen breaths, the continuous explosion sound sounded on the sea surface in the distance, Liu Wenjun saw through the thick gunpowder smoke that the flashes of explosions thousands of steps away were connected, and the sea surface was reflected red like a sea of fire, and then a column of water several feet tall rose on the sea, and then a strong wind rolled in with the hot air on the face, and even the warship swayed with it.

When the smoke cleared slightly, Liu Wenjun looked through the binoculars and saw that some enemy ships were hit and caught fire, and the crew and sailors jumped into the water to escape; And some of them, although they were not on fire, but also blew up, turned on their backs and lay on the ground; The most unfortunate thing was to hit the fire oil tank stacked on the deck, and the explosion spilled the fire oil everywhere, and the unlucky egg turned into a fire ship in an instant. As far as the eye could see, at least 20 enemy ships were sunk or wounded, and as much as 30 percent of them were damaged, but he thought that this round of rocket bombardment had caused more psychological shock to the enemy, and some enemy soldiers were so frightened that they did not know what to do, and the warships were jumping around on the sea and colliding with each other.

Although the results of this round of battle were not small, the old problem of low rocket hit rate was still there, and most of them still fell into the sea and bathed the enemy ships, Liu Wenjun knew that this was because the enemy ship formation was washed away by the dragon boats and was too evacuated. Gritting his teeth, he ordered another volley, but his heart was trembling, dealing with such a few ships, he consumed nearly a thousand rockets, His Majesty must be distressed to jump straight to his feet, and if he didn't skin him, he would be hit twice.

After the second round of rockets was fired, Liu Wenjun immediately ordered an attack at full speed, and in the third round, he would never dare to release it again, otherwise His Majesty would have to pinch himself to death. The enemy had not yet woken up from the first round of attacks, and another round of rockets hit, and the tiger guts just now immediately turned into rat galls, and those who did not win the bid turned around and turned around, and this was the time when the ships were the most sluggish, which happened to be the target of the Song army's attack on the fleet.

Liu Wenjun ordered the heavy ballista in the bow of the ship to attack the enemy ship equipped with a stone thrower at a long distance, destroy its long-range weapons, and open a way for the follow-up ships. The gunboats he led were all equipped with flowering shells, which were much more powerful than stone bullets, and as long as they hit, they would be destroyed and killed.

After a burst of heavy fire, there were only more than ten enemy ships left that could escape, Liu Wenjun ordered small warships to search the sea surface and capture the enemy soldiers who had fallen into the water, and he led the fleet to continue the pursuit. When they chased to the sea of Guantouzhai, more than 30 enemy ships rushed out to respond, but several were sunk as soon as they saw the surface, and Shuizhai was also destroyed by the rockets fired by the Song army.

When the two sides fought and walked until the time of unitary, when they sailed through the headland of the Xuwen coast, more than 200 enemy warships suddenly appeared on the sea, and most of them were large sea ships. In this way, the situation between the enemy and us has changed again, and Liu Wenjun is also a little confused, when did the enemy gather so many warships? Defeat a group, come again, I don't know if there is anything else.

And if they escape, the enemy ships are large and numerous, and it will be difficult for them to hold out until they return to the camp; If you don't leave, you have already gone to sea for a day, and you are attacking with all your might, and you are already sleepy, and I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on until dark. And just as the other party was eager to try and prepare for a counterattack, Liu Wenjun hesitated between advance and retreat, the Chengmai naval army support fleet arrived under the leadership of Dong Yicheng......

Although Dong Yicheng did not engage the enemy along the way, it was also extremely hard. After receiving the order to go to sea for reinforcements, he hurriedly mobilized ships, replenished supplies, and formed a formation composed of ten large warships, thirty medium-sized warships, and dozens of gunboats and rocket ships to go to sea. In this era when there is no wireless communication, they can only search the area where yesterday's incident occurred according to the instructions in advance, and at the same time inquire about the situation from the sentinel ship they encountered.

It was not until noon that I learned from the information from the nearby sentinel ship that the enemy ship that had attacked our sentinel ship had been found in the sea area of Guantouzhai. And their position was two hours away from there, even if they advanced at full speed, but Dong Yicheng did not hesitate to order the whole army to rush there. On the way, I received news from the sentinel boat, saying that more than 70 enemy reinforcement ships had arrived on the battlefield, and our sentinel ship was in distress and asked for reinforcements.

The military situation was like fire, Dong Yicheng urged the army to move quickly, and by the time they arrived with great effort, the battle on this side had ended, leaving only the broken ships and broken boards floating on the sea and the corpses of the enemy. After inquiring about his own warships cleaning the battlefield, he learned that Liu Wenjun had already led the reinforcement fleet that arrived in the lead period to pursue the enemy, and he did not dare to slack off and then pressed their course to keep up.

Dong Yicheng chased all the way, holding his breath all the way, and he rushed over with great difficulty, except for picking up a few enemy soldiers who fell into the water, he didn't even see the enemy ship, let alone exchange fire. It wasn't until Xu Wen chased Xu Wen that he found that the two armies facing each other were a big scene, and after they joined, the two sides had gathered nearly five hundred warships, distributed over the sea for more than ten miles, which was very spectacular in the afterglow of the sun, but the air suddenly became tense again.

Dong Yicheng and Liu Wenjun are both commanders of the navy, which can be regarded as equals, but the scale of the Chengmai Naval Division is much smaller than that of the Baisha Naval Division, although he has many ships now, he is automatically under the command of Liu Wenjun. After the two armies met, Liu Wenjun gave a briefing on the battle situation and the current situation. This made Dong Yicheng very surprised, the enemy army had gathered so many warships under his nose, and what was even more uncomfortable was that he didn't know if there were any left.

The two had an urgent consultation, and Dong Yicheng ran around for a long time, of course, wanting to fight. But Liu Wenjun thought that the current enemy situation was unknown, and he didn't know if there were any reinforcements from the enemy; And they are far from the base, but the enemy is close at hand, and reinforcements can be sent at any time; In addition, it was getting late, and it was very difficult to defend and attack, especially if they did not receive any assistance in a short period of time.

Therefore, Liu Wenjun advocated evacuation, and it would be decided by His Majesty after renegotiation, because this level was no longer under their control. Although Dong Yicheng felt unwilling, he also understood the truth of what he said, so he agreed that he would lead the army to break off and cover the return of the army. However, he still ordered the rocket ships to fire a salvo, one was to disrupt the formation of the enemy army to deter and cover the turn of his fleet; The two are to vent the depression in the heart.

The flotilla slowly turned under the cover of Dong Yicheng and headed north, and the enemy did not seem to have any intention of pursuing. But Liu Wenjun was very worried about Dong Yicheng's 'stupid' behavior, but he was very happy to think about the multiple escorts he was tied up when he was scolded......
