Chapter 876: Escape

This time, some treacherous Song commanders had already discovered the magic of the ballista, raised the gun mount high, and directly attacked the enemy ship's obvious target.

Just like a shot, the cement bomb was thrown high, and when it fell, it was blocked by the sails of the enemy ships, some of which fell through the sails and landed at the stern, and some of which were intercepted by the sails and fell to the bottom of the mast.

The effect of this attack was extraordinary, and the spectacular scene of dozens of enemy ships catching fire at the same time made Wang Shao in the rear tremble: "Notify the rear army ships and retreat two miles!" ”

At this time, the first batch of enemy ships that caught fire finally burned to the oil tank where the fierce fire oil was stored, and the huge explosion blew the wooden ships to pieces, and the fire oil spread along the sea, and the pirates who jumped into the sea before could only watch the sea of fire approach, and then screamed and were engulfed in flames.

The fleet of the Song army also began to turn, and the gate of the wild goose array opened for some distance, turning into two arrays.

The unfortunate Pu Shi Ma Army was not so lucky, and countless ships that had not had time to lower their sails crashed directly into the sea of fire like moths to the fire.

What's even more tragic is that the explosions of the Greek fire cabinets on the pirate ships that were recruited in the second round came one after another, giving the ships that had just broken into the sea of fire a shocking material.

The fireballs composed of the ship's planks, human bodies, and fierce fire oil with the splash of fire fell on these ships, and soon caused a fire that could not be extinguished, and they were finished on their own without the Song army attacking again.

To add insult to injury, the Song army had already completed its adjustment, and took advantage of the chaos of the enemy fleet to start a free attack.

In just half an hour, hundreds of pirate ships were scrapped on this warm ocean.

Countless desperate ships, with fierce fire, charged the Song army's battle line, hoping to pull the Song ships into this hellish abyss together.

However, in the process of widening the formation gate just now, the Song ship had already completed the turn, and now Wei Shouan's fleet had become walking side by side with them in the same direction!

In this case, it would be very difficult for the pirate ship to get close to the Song ship, and none of them could break into the Song ship within fifty steps, that is, the launch range of the fierce fire oil cylinder.

One pirate ship after another turned into fireballs, and the huge black smoke made Wang Shao downstream, and he completely lost his ability to judge the battle situation.

Seeing the wreckage of the rising flaming ship floating towards him along the ocean current, Wang Shao had no choice but to order the nine schooners to form two formations, sandwiching the area formed by the fireboats, and carefully touching the upwind slowly.

Until he penetrated the smoke-filled sea, the battle ahead made Wang Shao breathtaking.

At the same time, I was secretly glad in my heart that the wisest decision in this naval battle was to let Wei Shouan take over the temporary command.

More than 200 Song ships, with the huge sea bird ship as the core, more than ten small boats as the escort, and the large array as two columns of geese, and at the same time formed a small formation, echoing each other, ruthlessly killing the pirate ship that was squeezed in the center and headless like flies.

The long-range advantage of the Song ship's ballista was brought into full play, and all enemy ships were destroyed before they could get within fifty paces of the Song army's large ship.

The sea within a radius of more than ten miles was full of exploding fireballs and rising smoke, and it was a completely painful scene.

Wang Shao is a grand strategist and an expert in land sports warfare, and he has always looked at the formation of this thing, even if he doesn't care about it.

Today's naval battle made him completely see the power of the formation.

It turns out that in the slow and dull water battle of the formation, once he has the ability to flexibly change the formation, the sailor can become so sharp!

Li Jiyuan's Yuanjiang Naval Division was defeated by a baton mallet like Li Xian, I'm afraid that he can't close his eyes under the Yuanjiang River so far!

Mufuti was now as desperate as Li Jiyuan, but his big ship had turned to success, and he was struggling to get closer to Pu Shima, who had come to meet him.

Pu Shima can't help it, Mufuti has half of his own military strength, and if he gives up, he can only become a sea rogue.

Now with himself, as long as the whole army is scattered and pressed, he can also restrain the Song army's tactics, and he still has enough advantages to defeat them.

Just as the lion flag representing the decisive battle was raised and the pirate fleet began to slowly disperse, on both sides of the thick smoke ahead, the shadows of nine huge schooners emerged from the black smoke like hellish djinns.

The huge hull does not affect their agility in the slightest, the schooner takes a zigzag route, and the speed is not even inferior to that of the downwind, and the smallest one is larger than his own King Kong, which can't help but make Pu Shima's heart split.

He saw it, and so did all the pirate ships.

Before he could change his flag, dozens of warships behind the palace suddenly turned around and fled towards Macheng!

In front was the huge pressure of Song Sheng's reinforcements, in the middle was a sea of fire of the front army, and behind was the crazy escape of his comrades.

Pu Shima was dumbfounded, jumping on the boat and scolding, but to no avail.

What was planned to be a chaotic battle turned into a real chaotic escape.

Mufti witnessed this change and closed his eyes in despair: "Raise the lion flag, turn the rudder, fight a decisive battle, and win back the time for the king to reorganize the army!" ”

In the Song army, Wei Shou'an saw the appearance of nine giant ships, and he was also beating his chest, Master Wang came too early, Pu Shima must retreat, this battle will not be finished!

However, the change in the situation made him stunned in a blink of an eye, and the direction of Pu Shima's escape was not the open sea, but was led by a small fleet of dazed boats, and they all fled to the inner harbor!

Slammed the railing of the shipbuilding: "Good! How did you forget this kid! Sun Neng, you get on the boat and go to the Taishan, tell the bachelor to leave this place alone, pass directly on both sides of us, lead the schooner fleet, and block the pirates in the harbor! ”

Mufuti didn't know why the Song army was so agile, and the reinforcements were not affected by the battle in the slightest, just like two slippery moray eels, following towards Pu Shi's horse in the war zone.

"It's over!" Mufouti's heart sank into the bottomless abyss, and today's naval battle completely subverted his perception of naval warfare.

Song Jun's sharp firearms, superb command, and flexible response were as if the true god was looking down on the sky and then easily controlling the chessboard.

On the sea, several small Song boats passed through the last defense and pounced on themselves; In the sky, several strange stone balls began to fall towards the huge sails of the Shingon.

……

Pu Shima knew that his former army was finished, and his good brother, the bearded man who wandered to Macheng from Dashi, muttered the true god all day long, hoping to one day spread the glory of the true god all over the South China Sea, was finished.

Now his only thought was to rush back to Macheng, punish the boy who had disrupted his position with the most cruel punishment, and then fall into the cage in front of the harbor to dry.

The sea is the land of pirates, and the land is nothing.

If it weren't for him, he would at least have been able to take the fleet to the open sea, or to the Sriwijaya on the other side.

It only takes a few cities to loot and you can grow again.

That's right, while the open sea is still fighting, as long as Mufuti drags the Song people until night, he can take advantage of the night and his familiarity with this sea area to sneak out of the encirclement.

There are still opportunities, but only if you bring the remnants of your fleet and the wealth you have accumulated over the years.

Only he knows how many accidents have passed in the middle to become the king of the South China Sea, and he really has to start from scratch again, even he himself does not have this confidence.

There is a good truth in Mufouti's frequent remark – even if the true God is very kind to you, take care of your camel.

However, when Pu Shima returned to the port, he couldn't help but be furious.

Outside the port, all ships of all sizes were blocked together, and they did not enter the inner harbor at the mouth of the Mahe River in an orderly manner!

This is to completely expose yourself to the upcoming ballistae of the Song army!

Leaned on a small boat, grabbed his hands and asked carefully, but it was the first Jiaozhi person to come back, and more than 30 sea boats anchored at the mouth of the river and went ashore, completely blocking the way into the port!

The subordinates are still complaining: "The Jiaozhi people were so frightened that they fled to the shore before they even dropped the sails!" ”

Pu Shima jumped like thunder: "All the ships are evacuated to the open sea and go west!" Send someone to cut the sail rope on the handover boat and pull me into the inner harbor! We only have half a day! ”

"Cowardly as a rat escaped from the battle, and now he is blocking the estuary, catch that kid, hang me and roast him!"

At this moment, at the mouth of the river ahead, a series of explosions suddenly sounded, followed by a sky-high fire.
