337 Murder and heart

It's just four small boats, Li Buqi didn't pay attention to it at all, and Li Buqi saw that Wang Wanshun and a few other people from Tamna Island were the same.

The flotilla sailed north again, encountering two more cochin ships along the way, which sank the incident directly. When the sun was slightly westerly, he could already see the northern coast in the distance, and Li Buqi immediately ordered to find a suitable place to anchor and spend the night. Bai Pinghai asked strangely: "If you go west now, you will definitely be able to reach Lianzhou (Hepu) before dark, wouldn't it be better to rest after killing the Jiaozhi people?" ”

Li Buqi said: "The port of Lianzhou is very large, and the Jiaozhi people must have concentrated many ships there. We have the advantage of large ships and good weapons, but once we get into a melee, this advantage cannot be used. If you can't wipe out all the Jiaozhi people before dark, it is easy to get caught in a melee, and the outcome is unpredictable. Therefore, this risk cannot be taken. Stop the ship and anchor now, wait for a night's rest, and send troops to Lianzhou early tomorrow morning, and end the battle during the day to ensure the complete victory of our army. ”

The pilots were all veteran leaders who often took the route of the Beibu Gulf, and they knew the situation in the Beibu Gulf well, and immediately found a bay after receiving Li Buqi's order. Li Buqi ordered to drop anchor at the entrance of the bay, and arrange small boats to patrol the periphery closely. After a peaceful night's rest, at dawn, the fleet pulled anchor again and set sail, and by the faint morning light, slowly sailed along the coast towards Hepu Harbor.

At this time, in Hepu Harbor, the people of Jiaozhi were still sleeping, and few people were willing to be exposed to the cold sea fog in the morning. But just as the sea fog dissipated, a terrible horn suddenly sounded one after another.

At this time, the Jiaozhi people on the shore were all awakened, and they crawled to the beach to look at the sea, only to see a fleet of more than 20 ships on the sea, neatly floating slowly.

The generals who hurriedly ran to the shore looked more and more suspicious for a while: What is this fleet doing? Judging from the shape of the ship, this is definitely the ship of the Song people. And with such a neat formation, it is obvious that all veterans are operating the boat. But these ships sail so slowly, it doesn't look like they're coming to attack, and they don't look like they're going to go to the West.

After watching it for a while, he couldn't think of a reason, so he simply didn't want to think about it, anyway, he knew that if he could take down these Song boats, it would definitely be a great achievement. The ships built in Jiaozhi were far worse than the sea ships of the Song people, and now the sea soldiers are now transported by sea, and it would be more convenient if they could use the ships of the Song people.

So he howled a few times, which was regarded as an order, and for a while the big and small leaders followed the noise, led the soldiers to jump on the boat, raised the sails, rowed the oars and rushed towards the Song fleet. When the Song boats saw the Jiaozhi boat leaving the coast, they spread their sails and left the shore slowly. How can the cochin people let go of this fat meat to their mouths, and chase after them.

Li Buqi stood on the helm tower of the flagship and was talking to the Jiaozhi eunuch Li Changjie. This is what Li Buqi learned from "Let the Bullets Fly for a While", killing people is not the goal, but punishing the heart.

Li Changjie was tied up with five flowers, and because he broke two legs because he was crushed by a stone in the quarry, he could only sit on the deck crookedly at this time, but there was obviously a look of pride on his face that the conspiracy had succeeded.

At this time, Li did not give up a word, and translated a sentence. Li Buqi said in a flat tone: "Those Jiaozhi people say that you are Li Dezheng's close minister, and you are the first to become an official, and you entered the palace as a eunuch because of meritorious service, so you should have some knowledge." Nong Zhigao attacked Guangzhou, and the storm at sea did not subside, so you returned to Jiaozhi to report the news, indicating that you are really loyal to Jiaozhi and Li Dezheng. A few days ago, an envoy sent by the Great Song Dynasty court went to Yongzhou to reprimand Li Dezheng's son Li Rizun for treachery. But Li Rizun hit a rake, it seems that you Jiaozhi people really think that the Great Song Dynasty is very weak, and you are determined to be the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, right? ”

Speaking of this, Li Buqi withdrew his gaze looking at the western sea and looked at Li Changjie. When Li Changjie saw Li Buqi looking over, he tried to sit up straight and said, "Naturally, you Song people are treacherous. At first, I asked my king to send troops to help you put down the rebellion, but in the end he refused to accept it, and arrested and tortured us merchants. What is not the treachery of you Song people? ”

Li Buqi just smiled: "Barbarians are barbarians, and there is no shame." You first forcibly occupied Yongzhou, Qinzhou, and Lianzhou, and killed my officials and people, and then I ordered the arrest of you spies, which can also reverse black and white, and even sent a crusade against my Great Song Dynasty. But I'm not arguing with you about this today, I'm just going to let you see if the decision made by the people of Jiaozhi is the right one. lest thou die and think that thou hast done a great deed for the sake of his toe. ”

After speaking, Li Buqi waved his hand, and his own soldiers carried Li Changjie down and hung him on the top of the mainmast, so that he could see the naval battle that would take place in a while.

The Clippers sailed some distance south before turning east, almost windwardly. In this way, the advantage of the small size of the cochin boat and the greater proportion of the oars in the power was revealed, and the distance between the cochin boat and the Song army was gradually narrowed. At this time, the Song army's clipper began to release the cannon, and the Jiaozhi people who caught up also found that there were a little sail shadows further east. They thought that this was the Song people's instigation, and they were asking for help, and they rowed harder to catch up.

After hearing the cannon, Wang Wanshun ordered all the ships to sail slowly in a half-moon formation facing the Jiaozhi fleet, and soon met the temporal fleet that lured the enemy. The Clippers passed through the gap at the bottom of the half-moon formation and began to turn to plug the gap. The cochin man didn't know why, and crashed headlong into the pocket array.

There is really nothing to describe the whole battle, that is, the ships fired at the leading Cochin boats. Far away, firing javelins with sackcloth and oil-soaked in sackcloth from ballistas, and firing oil shells and crossbow arrows with trebuchets when they got closer, the Cochin fleet was immediately enveloped in a rain of fire.

However, it can be seen that the training of sailors is still not enough. It was almost impossible to shoot at a long-range Cochin boat on the bumpy deck, but as the Cochin approached, it was again a concentrated fire, and soon several Cochin ships were on fire. At this time, the cochin boats hurriedly dispersed and pounced on the surrounding Song boats.

The Jiaozhi ship was short, and the Song ship was tall, and when they approached, the sailors on the Song ship condescended to pour crossbow arrows, javelins, ash bottles, and fire oil cans on the Jiaozhi boat. The Jiaozhi people attacked on their backs, and they couldn't see the situation on the deck of the Song boat at all, so they could only use wooden planks and rattan cards to desperately cover them. But the Cochins were also very brave, some climbed on the mast to shoot arrows, and some prepared their grappling hooks to prepare for hand-to-hand combat. But at this time, a huge crossbar stretched out from the side of several tall Song boats rushing in front, which made the Jiaozhi people immediately scream. At the end of the crossbar hung a stone more than a man high, which was unkind at first sight.

Sure enough, when the Jiaozhi people wanted to get on the side of the Song boat, the first thing they encountered was the crossbar on the Song boat that stretched out of the side of the boat three or four meters and slowly rotated. The boulder was adjusted to the right height and slammed head-on into the cochin boat.

It should be said that compared with a hundred years ago, the shipbuilding technology of the Jiaozhi people has also made great progress, which is embodied in the fact that the boats of the Jiaozhi people are larger than the boats that the Jiaozhi people could build in the Tang Dynasty, so the "slap rod" inherited from the Tang Dynasty ships can no longer smash the Jiaozhi boats at once. However, Li Buqi used the clapstick flexibly, so that when the two ships approached, the boulder first cleaned the superstructure and personnel of the Cochin ship, and the ash bottles poured from the height made the Cochin people unable to open their eyes, and the fire oil tank ignited a fire on the surface of the ship, making the cabin of the Cochin ship close to the Song ship even more like a hellish scene.

The only threatening counterattack was to throw a grappling hook in an attempt to climb onto the Song boat for hand-to-hand combat. But the sailors and sailors on the Song ship may not be able to fight hand-to-hand, and it is not a problem to cut a hook, right? The clippers of the Song army, which protected the big ship, also acted as the spearhead, and the two wings of the big ship constantly fired crossbows and threw javelins at the Jiaozhi people, making the Jiaozhi people overwhelmed.

Although most of the people in the Great Song fleet were on the battlefield for the first time, it was inevitable that there would be all kinds of ridiculous problems, and there were chaotic scenes for a while, but there was no suspense at all in the naval battle when the strength of the two sides was huge. After more than an hour of fighting, most of the Jiaozhi ships were either sunk or burned, and only two or three ships escaped from the pursuit of the Song ships.

And Song Chuan basically had no losses. Li Buqi ordered the boat to be lowered to salvage the people who had fallen into the water, and then ordered someone to put Li Changjie down. When Li Changjie was mentioned in front of him, Li Buqi still asked Li Changjie, who gritted his teeth, lightly: "Was this battle just now exciting?" You should be able to see that the Great Song Navy has an overwhelming advantage over your Jiaozhi naval army, even if it is on the shore, I can easily burn all your Jiaozhi ships. Do you know why I lured the Cochin Navy to the sea and then annihilated it? ”
