"Boom, boom, boom......"

On the vast sea of the Persian Gulf, hundreds of large and small warships on both sides were intertwined, and the Seljuk naval army, which was completely dominated by small galleys, had no resistance at all in the face of the iron bullets, shotguns, and incendiary bombs fired out by the warships of the Lu Qi Naval Division, and there was no backhand power.

And the Seljuks did not rely on the strength of the ship, relying on their familiarity with geography, they wanted to eat the ambition of the Lu Qi sailors. Just look at the fact that their big ship hasn't shown up yet - they just want to force back the attack of the Lu Qi naval army!

But these did not prevent them from fighting very hard, and hundreds of small galleys and fireboats rushed towards the Lu Qi naval army like crazy. The Seljuk sailors were high-spirited, and everyone seemed to have a burning belief in fighting to the death.

After entering the Strait of Hormuz, the warships of the Lu Qi Naval Division drove along the central channel, and they did not dare to spread the area, because there were no hidden piles of wooden rows that could not be seen by the naked eye.

You must know that when the wind and water are smooth, the speed of each warship can easily reach six knots. If the sails are full, this speed will be even faster. And it is not uncommon for the speed of the sail warship to soar to ten knots. At such a fast speed, it is impossible to stop for a moment.

In the past, when they clashed with the Seljuks, the sailors of the Lu Qi army chased and defeated the Seljuk warships that had fled, but they fell into the trap of others.

The small galleys that can pass through the water safely are actually hidden in the wooden rows. The galleys can pass, but the naval warships of Lu Qi cannot.

It is also thanks to Yang Mi's routine to be steady, and he never sent a warship to pursue alone, so he did not cause big losses.

But such things are also like pouring cold water on them, so that their arrogant hearts will suddenly turn into Buddhas.

If it weren't for such pickled traps that really gave Lu Qi's navy a headache, how could Yang Qi be so peaceful for half a year?

Now that the large force has entered the Strait of Hormuz, the entire land and naval division has dropped half sails and slowed down the speed. Many of the large and small islands that pass by, or are just released by small boats, and it is impossible to inspect them with certainty.

Just like a row of scout ships at the front of the fleet, the hull is not large, it can only carry seven or eight people, the sail and oars are used for both purposes, the draft of the ship is extremely shallow, but after dragging a barrage net that is not two feet and five feet deep underwater, the speed of the ship is not much different from that of a large army.

Adaptable. This is the method that Yang Mi came up with in desperation, using a small boat to test in front of him to mine the warship.

As soon as it is found that something is wrong, it immediately fires flares or smoke bombs to alert the main warships in the rear. You can also cut the rope of the trawl and easily turn around.

But this method is not suitable for today, and the Seljuk naval army appeared directly in front of the waterway. And when the war started, a number of small galleys and fireboats also appeared behind the Lu Qi naval army.

They're pretty standard 'crowd tactics', literally, don't bring in the PLA indiscriminately. The latter's crowd tactics are quite different from what they literally mean.

The Seljuks just relied on the large number of people and boats, and engaged in desperate tactics.

That is, the surface water layer of the Persian Gulf flows from east to west, otherwise they would have released the rafts to the east along the water.

Now they can only bite the elephant and get close to the hand-to-hand combat with the Lu Qi Army's sailor battalion, in order to burn the ship with fireballs and oil, but the Lu Qi Sailor's artillery makes their ideas vain. Of course, that's not to say that they haven't really gained anything at all.

The arrows fired by the Seljuks, the ballistas they fired, whether they were wrapped in oil or powder, and the bullets that were thrown, could not cause serious damage to the Qi sailors. The only ones that can really hurt the Lu Qi warships are their fireboats, and each fireship is like a large torpedo, shooting from all directions, which is simply a 360° saturation attack without dead ends.

The artillery released by Lu Qi's warship, each cannon can easily traumatize the opponent, and even the ballista that Lu Qi carried on the bow of the ship, the explosive arrows released can also inflict a heavy blow on the Seljuks, who called their ship too small. Those small warships are okay, in the end, they are warships, and the fireships are ridiculous, the shipboard is weak, Hugh said that it was hit by a cannonball, as long as it was hit by a shotgun, it could hit a hornet's nest.

"Hit, hit!" Hu Yanqing shouted loudly. This war is a contest of endurance, depending on Seljuk and Lu Qi, who can't hold it first.

Although the Lu Qi naval army has suffered losses, compared to the damage that has been done to the Seljuks, it is obviously superior.

The current situation forced the Seljuks to only confront/block the Lu Qi army and naval division head-on, which was much more comfortable than they could find ways to harass the Lu Qi naval division after they put the Lu Qi army into the strait.

Hu Yanqing and Yang Qi were both afraid before, after the main force of the naval division warships penetrated into the Strait of Hormuz, a large number of hidden Seljuk ships went around their backs to put wooden rafts, which would be miserable.

Not to mention that it will cut off the connection between the main force of the water division and Homos, but it is equivalent to putting down a boulder on the back road.

And now, the Seljuks hope that Lu Qishui can retreat in the face of difficulties, so that they will not use such a method to lose both.

……

The fighting in the Persian Gulf had a crucial impact on the entire Celestial War, but it was cut off from the main battlefield on land, with vast deserts and mountains cutting off the connection. The west was cut off from the news of the Baghdad battlefield, and neither the caliph Muqtafi at this time nor the Seljuk commander Abdul Majid under the city knew about this naval battle with great impact!

As for Emperor Lu, who was thousands of miles away, he was even more unaware, he was now happy for Lu Chuan's new son. Although he is a concubine, he is also a son. Lu Chuan's heirs are not rich, and the concubines are also precious, although the child's father has gone before, his mother gave birth to him peacefully, and it has passed the full moon, which is very happy.

He released nine sons this time, not only there were pregnant women in the backyard of the third child, but in addition to the pregnant woman of the third family, she successfully gave birth to a dragon grandson, and she was also raised until the full moon and was in good health. In the other two back houses, no one dared to play a game that went too far, and the children were born, a son and a daughter. But all of them were weak, especially the baby boy.

Compared with this, Lu Chuan's back house is especially satisfying to him.

No matter how ugly their Lao Tzu is in heaven, he is also working for him. As a result, his son and daughter couldn't be saved, and Lu Qian, the old man, had a very faceless face.

Therefore, he showed his attitude with his actions - he rewarded the three princesses heavily.

Well, yes. does not reward his grandson's mother-in-law, Lu Qian can only reward his grandson's mother-in-law. But when the harem people are rewarded, they can bring the sad child and mother.

Who called her a concubine?

The queens and concubines of the harem also reward the three princesses, and the concubines can only be piggybacked.
