The vast blue ocean is constantly surging in and crashing against the side of the ship, splashing large and small splashes and snow-white foam. Facing the boundless sea that is connected to the sky, anyone will sigh at the greatness and vastness of the sea, and sigh at their own insignificance.

After the Youzhou Navy and the Qingzhou Navy converged, they united and headed south along the coast, bypassing the easternmost section of Qingzhou and arriving outside the Lingzhou Mansion.

Because of the great war between the two armies, the Xiaoguo army and the navy blocked the eastern seas, causing the merchant ships on the sea to disappear without a trace. When the huge fleet appeared on the sea outside Lingzhou Mansion, the guard fleet did not notice it at all.

It's not that the Guard Fleet can't do it, the Guard Fleet is a part of the Yangzhou Naval Army. The actual combat power of the Yangzhou Navy is far above that of the Qingzhou Navy Army, because there is the support of King Qi behind them. The navy is powerful, and it also requires someone to be able to command. Tang Xian, the general of the Wuwei Army, after killing Murong Cheng's envoy to the inner government, let his people take over this fleet and transport grain, grass supplies and reinforcements from the rear for himself. There was not too much inspection of the north, which caused the Xiaoguo Army Navy to appear in the sea area outside Lingzhou Mansion, almost close to the Navy Water Village.

Hundreds of warships, large and small, appeared a hundred miles away from the Guards' Water Village, and finally the Guards' Navy's patrol posts were discovered. Suddenly, all sorts of flags and whistles filled the entire water.

Of course, the naval fleet of the Xiaoguo Army, which went down the coast, had no intention of concealing its traces at all, and arrived here with a swagger. This also makes for quick discovery.

After the enemy ship was discovered, the Xiaoguo army immediately adjusted its formation, prepared for battle, and slowly advanced. According to Zhao Xun's meaning, it is better to annihilate them all, of course, it is better to capture them. The two naval fleets of the Xiaoguo Army had nearly two hundred warships, including fifteen huge five-story ships.

This kind of large ship is nearly 20 zhang long, nearly 60 meters long, and more than 10 zhang and more than 30 meters high. There are trebuchets, crossbows, and poles, and there are side walls like walls on its side. At the same time, protective steel plates are installed on both sides of the ship's side

The action of the guards and sailors was also very fast, and they immediately started a decisive battle outside the water village. Runzhou is their largest wharf, they have no way to retreat, only a desperate battle, they can't stay in the water village and wait for death.

Looking through the faint mist, all the building ships and sea ships of the guards were lined up, across the sea, towards the Xiaoguo Army.

The Guard fleet has three large ships with five floors, one of which is the flagship. There are more than 20 warships on the remaining three decks, and the rest are large and small sea ships.

"The lord means to capture as many other ships as possible, especially these large ships, in order to increase his own power. It would be a shame to look at so many ships to really sink them all. Qingzhou Navy General Fang De said with emotion.

The general of the Youzhou Navy and the commander of this operation looked at the sea and said, "I hope so!" "Naval warfare is different from land warfare, if you want to capture the opponent's warship, you also need the opponent to be willing to surrender or board the opponent's warship.

The basic goal of the battle is to achieve victory, and under the conditions of victory, he can capture the opponent's ships as much as possible, if there is no way to guarantee victory. He had no choice but to sink all the enemy's ships in the sea. Although it is more against less this time, most of the Youzhou Navy are new recruits, and the Qingzhou Navy is an old soldier by then, but it is also lazy in training.

The commander of the Guards Navy is Zhou Ze, Tang Xian's confidant, and he has also been a low-level officer of the Navy for a period of time. However, he is not yet a real naval general, but he is loyal to Tang Xian.

This time, the Xiaoguo army was fully prepared for a head-to-head confrontation, gathering not only all the warships, but also all the sailors who could fight hand-to-hand. In broadside battles, these people are needed to board the ship to fight. After all, it is not the era of cannons, and one cannon can sink the opponent's warship, and broadside warfare is still the mainstream.

The sea is clear at a glance. The sky is clear. It's a good time for both sides to fight.

"Come, put up my banner! Let everyone see! Brothers, now we have no way out, and behind us is our water village. We are a dignified Yangzhou naval army, how can we be stopped by a remnant army defeated? Brothers, use the long knives in your hands to tell them that on the sea, my Yangzhou naval army is the overlord. Zhou Ze was full of pride, brandished his command knife, and issued orders to his subordinates passionately.

"Fight to the death!"

The guards were inspired and shouted excitedly.

The warships of the Guards Navy lined up, and from a distance, they looked like a gray-white wall, horizontal on the sea.

"Brothers, this is the water army of the Wei Army, it is they who transport troops to attack Donglai Mansion and attack our Xiaoguo Army. They are the logistics team of the guards, and they are transporting troops and supplies to the guards who are attacking our Xiaoguo army. People say, what are we going to do? ”

You Zhengyang also roared loudly.

"Destroy them!" The water army of the Xiaoguo Army also replied with righteous indignation.

"Attack with all your might!" "Attack with all your might!" The coaches of both sides shouted in unison.

Immediately, the warships of the two armies began to approach each other. "Whew!" The first to act was the trebuchet, and one after another stone bullets rose in the air, smashing into the sky above the naval warship, and then smashing down heavily. The stone bullets kept falling on the surface of the water, splashing high columns of water and making a clattering sound.

Because of the immobilization of the warship and the lack of clear and stable coordinates, the trebuchets on both sides were not very accurate, so the stone bullets fell, basically smashed into the air, and the originally calm sea surface was constantly smashed by the stone bullets to raise the high water column, and gradually became agitated and surging, forming a chaotic wave, and the warships on both sides began to rise and fall slightly with the waves.

Of course, some of the sailors' boats were hit by mistake, and stone projectiles fell from the sky, most likely first tearing their sails, and then hitting the deck hard, smashing a large hole in the deck.

It would be bad if multiple stone shells were concentrated on the same ship at the same time, and it happened to penetrate its side. The sea will continue to pour in, knowing that it will sink, and of course, such a scenario is rare.

"Chirp!"

The large crossbows on both sides also began to roar, and one after another arrows screamed and flew across the water, flying towards their targets. The crossbows and arrows of both sides came and went, and the ships on both sides were hit by a lot of bows and arrows. Generally speaking, crossbow arrows do not have much effect on large building ships, and can only try to kill and injure the opponent's personnel. The deadliest of these was still on the sailmen, who were at the top of the masts, completely exposed to the crossbow arrows, and had no place to hide.

The bolts whizzed by, tearing the sails apart, rattling and rattling, and some of the bolts struck directly on the mast. The arrow pierced deeply, and the shaft of the arrow was still shaking violently. Sailors who operated the sails on the mast were lucky enough to dodge one or two rounds of crossbow shots, and unlucky enough to be shot from the mast by the time the first round of crossbow arrows came. After a few rounds of bolts, there is usually no one left at the top of the mast.

Without enough sailors to control the sails, the stability of the ships naturally suffered, making their trebuchets and crossbows shoot accurately. They all had to be greatly reduced, and many of the crossbow arrows did not know where they were fired, and some of the stone bullets thrown out fell in the middle of the battle between the two armies, and they were still twenty or thirty feet away from the target. The commanders of the ships had to use various methods to order their sailors to bravely climb the mast and adjust the sails.

Because stone projectiles were constantly falling on the water, the ships on both sides were trying to perform various maneuvers. The huge hull of the ship stirred the river, causing turbid waves to begin to roll on the water, and the whole surface of the water looked as if it was boiling, and the surging waves in turn affected the stability of the warship.

The river is constantly surging, and the waves are constantly stirring between the boats. In the middle, crossbow arrows or stone projectiles were constantly falling, and then they were swallowed up by the return water, or there were ships sinking, leaving only one whirlpool after another. The bodies and wounded floated away along the current, but the survivors struggled in the river and eventually disappeared without a trace.

If the guard fleet had been commanded by a naval general, it might be possible to close the gap in the number of ships between them. However, Zhou Ze is still not very good at naval warfare, and his own army combat methods are not suitable for naval forces. Gradually, the Guards' fleet, which was inferior in numbers, fell to the upper hand.

"Boom ......" a stone bomb concentrated the sea ship of the first-hand guard navy, directly blew up its mast, and immediately overturned more than 10 people on board.

"My lord, the mast is broken! The ship can't move! The sailor on the ship looked at the empty surface of the ship and said with a dismayed face.

"Fight!" Looking at the Xiaoguo Army warship approaching, the captain of this ship shouted coldly.

"Those who descend will not die!" The sailors of the Xiaoguo Army on the opposite side roared sharply.

"Surrender? My Yangzhou Navy has no kind of surrender! ”

"Yes! Come on, Heaven-shattering Thunder will throw it at me! ”

Immediately, three earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown over, one of which fell into the water and two into the boat.

The "boom ......" explosion sounded, and the surface of the ship seemed to be swept by some huge force, and in an instant, the surface of the ship was half empty.

"Reach in! Grab the boat for me, hum, it can still be repaired! The officer of the Xiaoguo Army said coldly.

"Bang ......" water village burst out with a burst of several high water splashes. Because this water military earth-shattering thunder is to wrap the fuse inside the tarpaulin, the short fuse is directly detonated in the water.

You Zhengyang's way is to use his own advantages to attack the enemy's disadvantages. Use multiple warships to besiege the enemy's warships, force land or conquer the opponent's warships, and gradually weaken the number of local warships until they are completely annihilated.
