The next day, Jiang Huanyan led fifty warships to the outside of the Song army's water village to call for battle, and Shi Luosheng and Ling Zhen came out with ten speedboats and twenty warships to meet the battle.

Jiang Huanyan saw Shi Luosheng and said, "General Shi, if you can't win later, won't you run away again?" But it doesn't matter if I run, when I turn around and take Penglai Port and take Anyang City, I will go to your Xianghu Lake to see how you run. ”

Shi Luosheng didn't say anything, and commanded the warship to rush over directly, as soon as the two armies came into contact, Shi Luosheng knew that Jiang Huanyan was really not in vain. The Great Song Dynasty's naval army was trained by Dong Liang, and the reason why Shi Luosheng proposed Dong Liang to serve as the commander of the naval army was also because Xiao Daocheng and Deng Yuanjue did not attach importance to the naval army, and were unwilling to transfer elite soldiers to form it in the future, and most of the naval army was composed of mountain bandits under Dong Liang's previous subordinates.

Most of Dong Liang's training methods are the same as the previous training of mountain bandits, while Jiang Huanyan was taught by Nu Jiao Gang Lu Xinghai, and Dong Liang is too far behind when compared with the two. The Song soldiers were already small, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Qi army, so they were taken away by the Qi army as soon as they clashed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shi Luosheng hurriedly ordered a retreat. Jiang Huanyan naturally refused to let go, knowing that his warship had no advantage in speed, so he preemptively sent his lieutenant general with ten warships to go around to the front to intercept Shi Luosheng's retreat.

Shi Luosheng also asked Ling Zhen to block the front with a speedboat to prevent the Qi navy from approaching his warship.

Ling Zhen led the speedboat to open the distance, and dozens of soldiers with excellent arm strength selected by Dong Liang from the army stood at the bow of the ship and shot towards the Qi army with strong bows.

The Qi army fought back with bows, but there were not many strong bows prepared on the warships, and most of the arrows fired fell into the sea. The Qi army was caught off guard for a while, and Shi Luosheng took this opportunity to rush out with the warship.

The warships of the Qi army could not outrun the speedboats of the Song army, but now the Song army also had twenty warships on the battlefield, and Jiang Huanyan ordered to chase these twenty warships.

Stumbling all the way, relying on the cover of Ling Zhen's speedboat, and after losing a few warships, Shi Luosheng gradually distanced himself from Jiang Huanyan.

Jiang Huanyan couldn't help but sigh when she saw that Shi Luosheng was about to escape again, and was about to give the order to stop the pursuit, when she suddenly found a thin layer of crude oil floating on the sea.

Jiang Huanyan secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered to leave quickly, where was there still time, several rockets were shot over, igniting the crude oil on the sea, and instantly ignited a sea of fire and wrapped Jiang Huanyan's fifty warships inside.

Jiang Huanyan's face was pale, desperate to retreat, Shi Luosheng and Ling Zhen also turned the bow of the boat, bypassed the sea of fire, and prepared to cut off Jiang Huanyan's retreat.

After all, Jiang Huanyan had seen a big battle, and she was a little flustered when she saw the fire at first, but after stabilizing it, she also understood that the fire was just looking big, but in fact, what was burning was just crude oil floating on the sea.

Thinking of this, Jiang Huanyan found the two Angry Jiao Gang elders on the boat, asked the two of them to jump into the sea, and used internal force to push the sea water in front of them to both sides, so that the crude oil attached to the sea water would also flow to both sides with the sea water.

The two elders jumped into the sea to transport their internal strength and gave it a try, and it worked. The two of them continued to urge the internal force, and the water ripples slowly dispersed, although the ripples were very shallow, they could also push the top sea water to both sides, and the fire on the sea surface was also torn apart. Jiang Huanyan was overjoyed and hurriedly led the warship to rush out.

Shi Luosheng and Ling Zhen in the distance were also surprised to see that Jiang Huanyan was able to escape, although this fire also caused the Qi army to lose nearly twenty warships, but in comparison, the Song army was still at a disadvantage, and Shi Luosheng did not dare to order the pursuit.

Jiang Huanyan had just escaped death, and the morale of the soldiers was also very low, and he was unwilling to entangle with the Song army anymore.

"This Jiang Huanyan is really powerful, the strategy we deduced all night yesterday was actually cracked by him in an instant." Ling Zhen muttered to himself.

It turned out that Shi Luosheng asked Liu Zixuan to rush to this sea area in advance with the eight generals and the good hands on Changxing Island before the battle, and when Shi Luosheng was about to retreat here, everyone held two barrels of crude oil and dived underwater with a hollow reed in their mouths. When Jiang Huanyan's warship passed, everyone poured out the crude oil, which was lighter than water, and soon the oil floated to the surface. Shi Luosheng let people shoot a few rockets, and there was a fire on the sea, and Liu Zixuan and others also dived back to Song Jun's ship from the bottom of the sea.

Jiang Huanyan can also understand after this battle, why his younger brother with a very high vision admires Shi Luosheng so much. Thinking about it, just take the battle just now, the Song army is inferior to himself except for speed, but relying on this only advantage, Shi Luosheng almost wiped out his entire army, and now I still have palpitations when I think about it.

This is also the most dangerous time that Jiang Huanyan has experienced since taking over the Qi State Naval Army, this time he brought a hundred warships out and fought three battles with Ning Buqu, and then fought with the Song State Naval Army, and now there are less than seventy warships left.

Shi Luosheng over there couldn't help but feel a little pity after returning to the water village, Wang Lun comforted: "Although Jiang Huanyan ran away this time, we are not without gains, and more than 20 of his warships are still secondary, the key is to let people know that the naval army of Qi is not invincible." I hope that in a few days, the major forces in the nearby sea area will know what happened today, and then the general will be able to come to their door to cooperate. ”

After listening to Wang Lun's words, Shi Luosheng turned his head and asked Ling Zhendao, "Teacher Ling, have you dealt with the three islands of Long Beach, Shangchuan and Xiachuan at sea in the past two years?" If I'm going to convince them to join me in the attack on the Qi army, who should I start with? ”

Ling Zhen thought for a while and said: "Among the three pirates, Li Zhixi is the most powerful, he was originally from the Chu State, and later went into exile overseas, and he usually doesn't take the Great Song Dynasty in his eyes, before the Great Song Dynasty formed a naval army, he often went to Xianghu Lake to rob the local residents, and after the establishment of the Xianghu Naval Army, it was only slightly restrained, so it was the least likely to convince him." ”

Ling Zhen continued: "In addition, Niu Qingyuan from Shangchuan Island, he is a native of Yan State, although he is also a force, but on weekdays, he is cautious at best, and timid at worst, you go to him to fight the Qi army together, unless there is a big enough interest, it is difficult to expect him to participate in the war." You see that this time the Qi army is fighting his own country, and he has no reaction. ”

"The last is Huang Songsheng from Xiachuan Island, he is also a native of our Song Kingdom, I have also teamed up with him to fight other pirates, this person is more righteous, and he is also a good hand in naval warfare, I think the naval army under his command is not much better than Jiang Huanyan's, you can still be a little sure of going to him."

Shi Luosheng asked again: "If you come forward to find Huang Songsheng in person, will he sell your face?" ”

Ling Zhen shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, this kind of thing is still useful in small things, jointly fighting the Qi army, one is not careful, the whole army will be wiped out, such a big thing, he will definitely not just look at personal friendship." ”

Shi Luosheng nodded and said: "What the teacher said is also right, then tomorrow the teacher you will go to Xiachuan Island with me first, and the four generals in the eight generals of the day, Wang Chiji, Yin Baoli, Wu Hualiu and Ji Luer, will also be with us, and then call the deputy commander of the naval army of Shangyan State Cheng Bu worry." If we can successfully convince Huang Songsheng, we will also go to Shangchuan Island by the way to see if we can persuade Niu Qingyuan to join the war. After we leave, this place will be handed over to Zixuan and Mr. Wang, and the other four people in the Eight Generals will also be left behind to help you. ”
