At the same time that the Jiaozhi naval army was slaughtered by the Song army, the Jiaozhi army on land also launched an attack on the landing Song army, but the result was the same as the naval army, they were attacked by the Song army's artillery before they could get close to the Song army's landing force.

Fan Wulao saw that the Jiaozhi army of the brigade rushed out of the hidden bunker and pounced on the enemy, and some hidden stone cannons (stone throwing machines) also began to throw boulders at the Song warships, but the Song warships immediately began to shell, and the stone cannons of the Jiaozhi army only had time to fire once, and the shells fired by the Song artillery fell on the positions of the Jiaozhi army.

Fan Wulao noticed that there was a thick cannon like an inverted bronze bell on the deck of the Song army's sea ship, shooting out one after another huge spherical cannonballs with wooden supports, these cannonballs fell in the position of the Jiaozhi army, and immediately turned into a huge fire ball, bursting out with a more violent sound than when the cannon fired, those stone cannons made of thick wooden frames shattered like paper in front of it, and the surrounding Jiaozhi soldiers flew into the sky covered in fire, and when they fell back to the ground, they all turned into black charred corpses.

"My lord! We...... Hurry back to Beijing to report the news! A guard's frightened voice came from behind Fan Wulao.

"Yes! Your Excellency, we must quickly ask Kokuko-sama to send reinforcements! Another guard said.

Fan Wulao shook his head, he knew that the guards had frightened the Song army's artillery fire, and the news from Longcheng was just an excuse to flee, but he also understood that the situation was very urgent now, and Chen Guojun had to be informed of the news immediately, otherwise Thang Long City was in danger.

Fan Wu's entourage took pen and paper, quickly wrote a short message, he rolled the letter into a small paper roll, put it in a small copper letterbox, and then shouted: "Take the carrier pigeon!" ”

The attendant quickly took a white pigeon out of the cage and sent it to Fan Wulao, who carefully tied the small copper letter to the pigeon's feet, and then released the pigeon.

This kind of carrier pigeon is specially trained by Chen Guojun for the transmission of emergency military information, less than 100,000 urgent, generally will not use it, Fan Wulao used carrier pigeon to report to Chen Guojun The purpose is to attract Chen Guojun's attention, and immediately send reinforcements to come, but he does not know what kind of measures Chen Guojun will take after receiving the report.

Just as the carrier pigeon flew away, the roar of drums and horns was heard again on the sea.

Fan Wulao knew that this was the drum horn of the Jiaozhi army, and he followed the prestige and saw a huge Jiaozhi naval army warfleet appearing, heading towards the Song army's fleet.

What is different from just now is that the Jiaozhi Navy that appeared this time turned out to be all large warships, with more than 200 ships, Fan Wulao saw the flag and knew that it was the army of Ruan Kuai, the commander of the Navy Army, and it was the main force of the Jiaozhi Navy Army.

At this time, several clippers of the Jiaozhi Navy highlighted the encirclement of the Song army, and after seeing the appearance of Ruan Kuai's fleet, they did not intend to join the main fleet, but desperately fled to the open sea, Ruan Kuai's troops were obviously angry at their embarrassment, and some warships tried to intercept these defeated forces, but due to the slow speed, they were unsuccessful.

Fan Wulao saw this extremely humiliating scene, but he didn't care, he stared at the battlefield tightly, hoping that Ruan Kuai's troops would be able to turn the tide.

Ruan Kuai's troops did not witness the tragic battle just now, and the soldiers let out an earth-shattering cry, but as the distance narrowed, Ruan Kuai and his soldiers found that the size of the Song army's fleet was much larger than expected, and the enemy's landing did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, but to attract the Jiaozhi army to dispatch, lure the Jiaozhi army out, and enter their preset battlefield.

On the flagship of the Cochin fleet, Commander Ruan Kuai cursed loudly for the mistakes of the scout's intelligence, while hastily adjusting the deployment of the fleet. And the Song army also seemed to have discovered that it was the main force of the Jiaozhi Naval Army, and also began to adjust the formation, four large sea ships took the lead out of the array, facing the Jiaozhi Naval Army, and then some medium-sized warships also sailed out one after another, following behind the four large sea ships.

After several course corrections, the warships of the two armies began to move in opposite directions, getting closer and closer. At this time, Fan Wulao rushed to the top of a small hill, overlooking the entire battlefield.

The more than 200 large warships of the Jiaozhi naval fleet (in the eyes of the Jiaozhi people were large ships, much smaller than the Song great warships) spread out in the shape of goose wings, and the Song warships lined up in a straight line, and at the forefront of the line were four large ships equipped with powerful artillery.

Ruan Kui seemed to judge the strength of the Song army's firearms from the wreckage of the Jiaozhi naval warship that caught fire on the river, so he lined up in a goose wing formation, wanting to give full play to the local numerical advantage, melee combat with the Song army, and capture the Song army's warship as much as possible.

At this time, Sun Hui stood on the top of the flagship mast of the Song army, quietly watching the battlefield on the sea, watching the Great Song fleet he had built single-handedly against the main force of the Jiaozhi Naval Army.

After the two sides approached, the warships of the Jiaozhi Navy took the lead in firing with stone cannons (stone throwers), and the guns of the four Song warships immediately began to roar.

Sun Hui knew that the routines of naval warfare in the current era were nothing more than long-range artillery bombardment, medium-range gunfire and crossbow fire, close-range ramming and hand-to-hand combat, but the Song fleet had a clear advantage in terms of the number of artillery and firearms and the average tonnage, while the configuration of the Jiaozhi fleet was much behind. In his opinion, there is not much suspense about this naval battle.

Under the bombardment of the Song army's artillery, more than ten Jiaozhi warships that rushed in front quickly capsized and sank, Ruan Kui was shocked, but now the formation of the whole army has been expanded, and it is impossible to retreat immediately, he ordered the gunners of the stone artillery to return fire as soon as possible, and at the same time commanded the fleet to adjust the formation to avoid the artillery fire of the Song army, so the formation of the entire Jiaozhi fleet became more loose, and further extended to the two wings. As the distance approached, the Song soldiers began to cast fire guns and crossbow arrows, and for a time the steel fire rain cover composed of iron projectiles and rockets was directed towards the Cochin naval warship, and whenever the helmsman was knocked down, the whole ship fell into disorder and staggered, and the Cochin soldiers on the ship became an excellent target for the Song army.

Seeing that the entire Cochin fleet began to fall apart, Fan Wulao's heart tightened, although the Cochin naval warships also tried their best to fight back, but many stone bullets only grazed the sails of the Song army's warships, and most of them deviated from the target. This was due to the fact that they relied so heavily on ramming melee that they retained their large ramming angles, so that the hull was unstable and the stone cannon firing was interfered with.
