In the tent of the Great Song Army Camp on the east coast of Ma Yi, Shi Qiang, the commander of the Right Army of the Great Song Navy, looked at the frightened faces of Fan Zhongyan and An Jun around him, and couldn't help but despise the quality of these generals of the Great Song 6th Army, but Ma Yi, who had 50,000 people on an expedition twice as much as his own army, was actually frightened like this, no wonder the 6th Army of the Great Song Dynasty was beaten by the Western Xia and Liao States in the city and did not dare to come out!

Although he was disdainful in his heart, Shi Qiang, who had already formulated the plan that Zhao Lei had already made, did not dare to disobey, pointing to the flattened map of Luzon Island in front of him, Shi Qiang said to Fan Zhongyan and An Jun in a deep voice: "General An, Lord Fan!" Although there are 100,000 troops on Luzon Island, these people and horses are scattered all over the place, unless they are concentrated, they are definitely not the opponent of our army, but Ma Yi has never paid attention to 6 transportation, and several cities rely on naval contact, once the navy that Ma Yi took as a barrier was defeated by Zhao Daren, the entire Ma Yi country will become a plate of scattered sand, let us, so Lord Zhao's plan is to take here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info//、qВ5\\”

Shi Qiang pointed to the city of Rijami in the central plain of Luzon on the map of Mayi, and said with a smile to the generals who were watching carefully: "Rijami is the most important city on Mayi Island except for Manila, the central plain is not only the only grain producing place in Mayi country, but also the transportation artery connecting various seaports on Luzon Island 6, as long as we can take Legamat, and the Mayi navy is defeated by Lord Zhao, then the cities on Luzon Island will lose contact with each other and let us slaughter!" ”

Shi Qiang's words made Fan Zhongyan and An Jun's eyes light up. I suddenly felt that it was not difficult to take Luzon.

"Then we will attack Legamati now!" An Jun asked Shi Qiang with a smile on his face, you don't have to take much risk to get the credit for expanding the territory, who can refuse this kind of good thing, but An Jun didn't expect that his words would be rejected by Shi Qiang.

"Nope! We're going to Jamaica now, but we can't attack it! Shi Qiang looked at Fan Zhongyan and An Jun with a smile and said.

Fan Zhongyan and An Jun are both capable ministers who are familiar with military affairs. Hearing Shi Qiangdi's words, after thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood what Zhao Lei meant.

"We're besieging the city for reinforcements!" Fan Zhongyan whispered more confidently in his heart.

"Not bad! Don't forget that our army still has 10,000 navies at sea, if you join Lord Zhao's fleet, 20,000 or 30,000 people are enough to threaten Manila, and the two generals surround Legamat, as long as they can draw out the defenders of Manila City, then Lord Zhao will be able to attack Manila, and the two generals will take Legamati again, and lose the cities of Luzon Island on the sea and the two most important strongholds on the 6. I am afraid that there is no other option but to surrender. Shi Qiang admired Su Xun who planned this plan, and said to Fan Zhongyan and An Jun with admiration.

"Good! General Ben led his subordinates to ambush near Legamat, preparing to attack Manila to get reinforcements, and the task of encircling Legamati was entrusted to Lord Fan. An Jun heard Zhao Lei's seamless plan. Knowing that this time it was definitely a victory and no defeat, he immediately made up his mind and began to grab the merit, and handed over the task of encircling Legamati to Fan Zhongyan's new army, and after he led the right Qianniu army to block the reinforcements from Manila, he could also participate in the attack on Legamabi. Two great credits! An Jun has already begun to fantasize about the scene of being promoted to the official position after making such a great achievement.

An Jun's behavior of grabbing merit was seen by Fan Zhongyan and other generals of the new army, but they did not have the slightest way, who made An Jun the commander-in-chief of this expeditionary force. And Fan Zhongyan is the deputy!

Now that the countermeasures have been discussed, Fan Zhongyan, An Jun, Shi Qiang and other Great Song generals immediately returned to their respective camps, and after resting, they prepared to leave for Legamabi early tomorrow morning.

……

Just when An Jun led the expeditionary force to 6 Luzon Island, the fierce battle between the Great Song and Ma Yi in the northern waters of Ma Yi had come to an end.

The sunset on the golden sea, full of the smell of blood, the looming sharks are full of food and drink, lose interest in hunting, and slowly dive into the deep sea to rest, above the sea. Only the navy where Ma Yi fell into the sea, helplessly calling for help, waiting for the humane rescue of the Great Song Navy, the shipwreck, the smoke of gunpowder, and the shouting of killing all disappeared, leaving only Ma Yi's sadness and the excitement of the Great Song Dynasty.

On the flagship of the Great Song Navy, Zhao Lei, Su Xun and others were looking through the post-war inventory and analyzing the gains and losses of this battle.

"Three hundred and seventy-six people of our army fell into the sea, and the navy wearing iron armor could not be found, and the non-commissioned officers without armor were found two when they arrived, and the others were all killed, and more than 3,000 people fell into the sea by the Ma Yi navy, except for some who fell into the sea after a tragic death, and some were bitten to death by sharks, and more than 800 people were rescued by our army." Su Xun looked at the post-war list sent by the logistics general, and frowned at Zhao Lei.

"The Ma Yi Navy is all wooden armor, these wooden armors can make them sink into the sea even if they are unconscious after falling into the water, but the protection is almost penetrated by our bow and crossbow, which is similar to no armor." Yang Jinhua looked at the corpse of Ma Yijun floating on the sea with wooden armor in the water, and said to Zhao Lei in a deep voice.

The issue of iron armor and wooden armor or no armor has been debated in the Great Song Dynasty Navy for a long time, but it has not been conclusive, everyone understands that wearing iron armor above the sea is equivalent to stepping on one leg in the ghost gate, whether it is sunken or falling into the sea, as long as you wear iron armor, there is no chance of survival, but iron armor can greatly increase the protection ability of soldiers and soldiers, and take advantage of it in hand-to-hand combat.

"Do you have a problem, the soldiers and crossbowmen who fell into the water and died on the battleship are all overboard after death, and all the soldiers who fell into the water before death are melee soldiers!" Zhao Lei looked at the battle report, carefully recalled the battle just now, and said to Su Xun, Xiao Ruoruo and Yang Jinhua in a deep voice.

"What you mean is that a standing crossbowman will not fall into the sea unless he dies in battle, and a melee soldier will easily fall into the sea because he has to defend against the enemy's melee or attack the enemy's ship, so let the crossbowman wear iron armor and the melee soldier wear wooden armor! Not bad. It's a good idea! Su Xun heard Zhao Lei's words and quickly thought of the meaning of Zhao Lei's words, and immediately said excitedly and loudly.

After solving the problem of iron armor and wooden armor, Xiao Ruoruo immediately asked another question: "Our army's rockets fired a lot just now, why didn't we burn a single battleship?" ”

"It's the sea, there's not much but water. These ships are very wet, and it is difficult to ignite them with small flames, unless there is a raging fire, it is difficult to ignite a battleship in the sea, and the only function of the rocket is to burn the sails and make the battleship incapacitated. Su Xun looked at Xiao Ruoruo and said with a wry smile.

At this moment, Pang Song's brother Pang Bai, the commander of the rear army in charge of naval logistics, took a small boat to Zhao Lei's flagship, took the sorted out battle report, handed it to Zhao Lei and said: "What a victory! My lord, in this battle, our army sank thirty-nine enemy ships. Thirty-four of them were sunk by Shenwu artillery, the other five were smashed by trebuchets, one hundred and sixty-seven enemy warships were captured, and countless grain and grass weapons were captured, and less than a hundred warships of the Mayi navy escaped. However, the direction of escape is different, and even if they gather, they will not be the opponent of our army. ”

"What about our casualties?" After listening to Pang Bai's words, Zhao Lei began to inquire about the casualties of the Great Song Navy.

"We suffered no small casualties, and General Mahathi's forward army was surrounded by enemy ships five times its size. The casualties were the heaviest, more than 5,000 soldiers, and more than 2,200 were killed in the battle. More than 2,400 people were wounded, and 42 warships, 37 of which were damaged to varying degrees, were no longer suitable for long-distance voyages, and needed to be returned to the naval port for repairs; General Zhu Sheng's left army was responsible for pinning down the enemy warships, and the casualties were relatively small, only 370 people were killed, more than 1,200 were wounded, and 11 battleships were damaged and could not sail; And Lord Zhao's Chinese fleet lost seventy-two people. Two hundred and thirty wounded, two ships damaged; The rear army of the last general did not participate in the battle and there were no casualties. Pang Bai looked at the battle report in his hand and read it respectfully to Zhao Lei.

"2,700 people were killed and nearly 4,000 were wounded, this kind of loss is too heavy! Kill 1,000 enemies, and lose 800 yourself! Su Xun heard the final battle report, looked at Zhao Lei in shock and said.

Hearing Su Xun's words, Pang Bai was immediately unhappy, obviously it was a big victory and a defeat for both sides, didn't this veto his battle report just now!

"Lord Su's words are not right, you must know that although Ma Yi has nearly 100 warships escaped, but except for more than a dozen escort battleships around Lisa, the others are seriously damaged warships, the Chinese army and the left army have already gone to chase, the last general dares to say that Ma Yi's 100 warships, can escape to Manila is definitely only 50 people, in addition to these warships, Ma Yi's navy was killed by us nearly 8,000 people, and the wounded reached 14,000 people, it is estimated that the Ma Yi Navy can escape back to Manila alive, not more than 3,000 people, such a brilliant victory, How can it be said that both sides are lost! Pomber looked at Su Xun and argued loudly and unhappily.

"Okay, don't make any noise, immediately order to go down, the dead soldiers will be given a hundred taels of silver, the seriously wounded will be twenty taels, and the other rewards of ten taels of silver per person, as for the pre-battle bounty, it is still valid, not among these rewards!" Zhao Lei looked at Su Xun, who wanted to argue with Pang Bai, and stopped him from saying in a deep voice to Pang Bai.

"On behalf of the admirals, thank you Lord Zhao for your reward!" When Pang Bai heard Zhao Lei's bold reward, he immediately finished speaking to Zhao Lei happily, and turned around to convey the news to the ears of the other soldiers.

"Wait! General Pang, you go to the interrogation, after cleaning up the battlefield, the damaged battleships and wounded soldiers returned to the naval port, and the others followed the officer to Manila, the capital of the Mayi Kingdom! Zhao Lei watched the nearby sea gradually turn from blood red to blue, muttered for a while, called out to Pang Bai, who was about to leave, and said to him in a deep voice.

"My lord! By all means, our army has just fought a big battle with the Ma Yi navy, and the soldiers are already tired and in urgent need of repair, and there are still 20,000 defenders in Manila, and tens of thousands of young people in the city, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture it! When Pomber heard Zhao Lei's words, he thought that Zhao Lei was going to attack Manila, so he hurriedly dissuaded him.

Zhao Lei ignored Pang Bai's words, turned to Su Xun and asked, "Brother Mingyun!" General An and Master Fan, they are estimated to have arrived in Luzon Island by now! ”

"Counting the time, they should have landed on Luzon by now." Su Xun understood what Zhao Lei meant, and nodded cooperatively.

"It will take five days to get to Manila from here, and then it will take at least ten days to join the naval fleet led by Shi Qiang, who is cruising near Mayi, and ten days is enough time for General An to surround Lejami and transfer the defenders of Manila!" Zhao Lei said thoughtfully.

"Not bad! If we had walked more slowly on the road, we might have left Manila without many defenders after joining General Shi Qiang's right naval force. Su Xun continued to nod and said.

It was only then that Pomber understood what Zhao Lei meant, and he no longer refuted, and with Zhao Lei's order, he began to send orders to their respective warships, assemble fleets, and prepare to go to Manila.

Ahn Joon, Ahn Joon! I hope you live up to my expectations and be able to drop the defenders of Manila! Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to make meritorious contributions in this war. Zhao Lei looked at the direction of Luzon Island in the south of the sea, and thought to himself.
