Sri Buddha was the most powerful of the four kingdoms, and his king, the dragon spirit, was elected commander-in-chief of the combined fleet.

Seeing that the more than 110 ships of the Tang Army dared to take the initiative to come to stop them, Long Jing laughed at the generals on the left and right: "Although the Tang Army's warships are large, there are only about 100 of them, and our army has more than 2,000 warships and 50,000 soldiers, so why are you afraid of its big ships?" The order went down, and we surrounded the Tang army and fought. ”

It stands to reason that it is a disadvantage for a small boat to fight a large ship in the open sea, and it is quite difficult to win even if there are many ships. The numerical superiority of small boats can only be brought into play in narrow waters where large ships are difficult to maneuver, such as rivers, lakes, and harbors.

But the top of the coalition forces attacked the strengths of the other with their own shortcomings?

It was really the high-level of the four countries that had to do this, and in this battle, their coalition forces were attacking, and the purpose was to defeat the Tang army and drive the Tang forces out of the South Seas so that they had a place to live. Then the coalition forces had to take the initiative to attack, instead of shrinking at the door of their homes and waiting for the Tang army to come to the door.

If the Nuotang Army really comes to the door, then it is not far from destroying the country!

Immediately, the left and right flanks of the four-nation coalition fleet increased their speed to outflank the South China Sea Fleet, and Xue Yao saw the intention of the coalition forces clearly in the telescope, and laughed, and ordered: "All warships lower their sails to meet the enemy." ”

The warships equipped by the South China Sea Fleet are mainly mixed yuan ships built by the Liaodong Shipyard, except for one main sail which is a hard sail, the rest are soft sails and are afraid of fire.

In the case of a large-scale melee at sea, it is better to put away the sails for the sake of safety, and only keep a few auxiliary sails to provide less power, and it is not too late to maneuver before raising the sails.

After all, the soft sail technology of Liaodong Shipyard is still only in its early stages, and the operation tends to be simple and convenient, and it has not reached the advanced technology and complex operation of the soft sail system in the Western Age of Discovery.

Li Yu developed the navy on a large scale, and when the fleet was sailing and fighting at sea, he invented a simple set of flag languages for communication.

The flag-bearers on each ship waved the command flags in their hands to convey Xue Yao's order to the nearby ships, and the ships quickly lowered their sails after receiving the order, and the soldiers operated winch crossbows, fierce fire oil tanks, and the beating poles all over the bow, stern, and sides of the hull of the ship to wait for them.

The Coalition ships were small and paddling-based, with only the larger ships having a simple sail to borrow wind power. In view of the current calm seas, the maneuverability of the coalition warships was undoubtedly demonstrated, and the encirclement of the South China Sea Fleet was completed in less than an hour.

The four countries have done their best to win this battle, and the Aurang Lautes, a maritime nation hired by them, are even more in order to continue to live in Nanyang safely and their clans, so that they will not be driven out and killed as slaves like other ethnic groups in the occupied areas of the Tang Army.

A sea battle in the history of the South Seas has broken out!

The South China Sea Fleet had more than 110 warships and more than 10,000 officers and men fighting against more than 2,000 warships and more than 50,000 soldiers and horses of the four countries in the South China Seas.

The allied warships were like wolves, and after encircling the Tang army, they couldn't wait to start culling.

Painted in battle paint, the Aurang Lauts rowed their oars with a scream, holding a longbow, a strangely shaped scimitar, and a hook rope. Ignoring the flying arrows approaching the Tang warship, he threw out a hook rope to hook the side of the Tang warship, and the Aurang Lauts quickly climbed the rope and climbed up under the cover of their companions.

The Tang warships were in full swing at the moment when the coalition forces attacked, and the long-range winch crossbow shot huge arrows to snipe the enemy ship, and the sampan could penetrate it with one arrow to make it slowly sink into the sea, and the larger ones could still send it to the bottom of the sea at most seven or eight arrows. The short-range fire tank sprayed fire dragons to sweep the surrounding enemy ships, and the fierce Aurang Lauts were swept away by the fire dragon, and fell into the sea with screams and screams covering their bodies burned by the flames. More Tang soldiers armed with bows and crossbows, relying on the tall and sturdy warships, looked down on the attack, and overturned the people killed by the surrounding coalition forces on their backs. Looking down at the distance of only more than ten meters, the soldiers of the Tang Army all turned into archers, almost one arrow at a time.

In less than half an hour of fighting, thousands of corpses floated on the sea, and the enemy ships lit by the fierce fire tanks ignited a raging fire on the sea, billowing smoke rose into the sky, and the screams of the soldiers who fell into the sea and were injured and not dead were heard one after another, like a terrible ghost howling miserably, making people feel as if they were in hell.

At this point in the battle, the fleets of both sides had no formation, forming a situation of great melee, showing a picture of dozens or hundreds of allied warships besieging a Tang warship, but few of them could destroy the tall and sturdy warships of the Tang army.

Often, when the allied warships braved the dense arrows of the Tang army and fought for huge casualties, regardless of the approach, a scorching fire dragon erupted, and the allied soldiers were suddenly burned, their whole bodies were red, their skin festered, and they fell into the sea one after another with a hissing sound like dumplings.

In the face of the increasingly unfavorable situation in the battle, Long Jing, the commander of the coalition army, was originally confident that this huge army would be able to defeat the Tang army, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water.

The kings of Mora You, Tamoro and the commander of the army of the Heling Kingdom sent people to ask for countermeasures, and Long Jing gritted his teeth and became wise in a hurry, "The warships of the Tang army are also made of wood, and there are many flammable sails on board, which can be attacked by fire." ”

At present, hundreds of miles away from the coast, it was too late to find firewood to make a fireboat to attack the Tang army, so a group of ship archers were organized, and a simple rocket was made by wrapping a piece of dry cloth from the soldiers' bodies around the arrows, and the archers threw it onto the sails of the Tang army's warships, intending to ignite the Tang army's warships.

Even if they were hit by the rockets of the coalition forces, the Tang soldiers on the ship immediately rushed up with buckets full of seawater and poured the entire bucket of water on them.

What's more, Xue Yao had all the sails on the ship wet with water before the war, but there was no flammable grease on it, and it was difficult to be ignited by the rudimentary rockets of the coalition forces.

The fire attack was ineffective, and the coalition army once again lost more than 300 large and small warships, lost more than 3,000 soldiers, and many warriors fell into the sea and drowned alive without help.

An hour later, the ships of the coalition army took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield without the order of the commander General Long Jing to avoid re-contact with the Tang army.

At this moment in the battle, ninety percent of the dead bodies floating on the sea were soldiers of the coalition army, nearly 20,000 people were lost in the sea, more than one-third of the warships were damaged, no more than 20 Tang warships were destroyed, and the Tang army suffered no more than seven or eight hundred casualties.

Whether it is Mora You, the king of Tamara, or the commander of the army of the Horing Kingdom, they all retreated with the scriptures, and the dragon spirit of Sri Buddha, as the commander, no longer has the confidence that he can defeat.

In order to avoid the continuous fighting that would lead to the annihilation of the entire Four-Nation Coalition Army, resulting in no soldiers to defend in the country, Long Jing and other high-ranking coalition forces decided to leave the battlefield and withdraw to their own country to defend the land.

The coalition forces are going to withdraw, how can Xue Yao let them retreat calmly?

Xue Yao drew his sword and shouted: "Order all ships to raise their sails and pursue ......"

The ships of the South China Sea Fleet raised their sails one after another to chase the dead on the sea, and at this time, the northeast wind blew again, and after adjusting the wind surface of the sails, the Tang warships were extremely fast under the impetus of the wind, and soon caught up with the allied fleet that relied on manpower to row the batter.

The paddlers of the coalition army were stunned and couldn't get rid of the pursuit of the Tang army, and they were even more tired and prostrated in the back, and the speed of the ship plummeted, becoming a live target in the eyes of the Tang army, easily destroying more than 600 coalition warships all the way and annihilating 10,000 enemies.

King Moluoyou was even more defeated in the pursuit of the Tang army, and in the end he couldn't even find his body.

The remnants of the coalition fleet finally scattered and fled, only to escape the fate of being completely annihilated by the Tang army.

As the overlord of the native kingdom of Nanyang, the king of Sri Buddha was defeated and returned to his capital Palembang, and counted 20,000 troops and 800 warships, but less than 7,000 soldiers fled back, and only about 200 warships remained. He was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and was bedridden.
