Gao Wu and Meng Di glanced at each other, and they both saw a wry smile on each other's faces. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Brother, today we can only be loyal to Guqi City, even if we die, we can't fall into the name of the Chen family." Gao Wu didn't want to fight to the death, but he knew very well that he had participated in the massacre, and it was impossible to end well, so it was better to seek a chance to die on the battlefield, which could be regarded as a relief.

"Well, our brothers are fighting side by side today, which can be regarded as repaying the Duke for his kindness to us. The two of them immediately greeted each other and rushed to the opposite side with many soul masters and grandmasters. Although the masters of the Gucci navy seemed to be numerous, with a total of one hundred and thirty or forty people, their strength was too poor to pose a threat to the masters of the Shouyang navy, and as soon as the two sides fought, the masters of the Gucci navy were shot down into the sea one after another.

When the war was fought in the air, there was no idleness on the sea. The four fleets, under the command of the commander of the detachment, circled around the twenty-four small warships of the Gucci navy. As many of the guns shattered the sails, and some of the masts were even broken, the result was that the speed of the galleons in the Gucci navy was different, and the formation was suddenly chaotic, and the sailing speed was greatly reduced.

"Prepare for broadside battles and capture the opposing ship. Seeing that almost all the weapons on the other party's deck were destroyed, Li Bing immediately ordered to seize the ship.

In the aftermath of the confusion, the captains of the ships began to gather their ships together, trying to rely on the density of the ships for defense, waiting for a possible broadside engagement. Seeing that the other side stopped the attack and got closer and closer, the captains of the Gucci Navy were quite excited, and they felt that the opportunity to turn the tables had come, and the army forces hidden on the ship came up one after another, they hid in the decks and cabins, waiting for the other party to board the ship.

However, when the large and small warships of the Shouyang Navy approached, the soldiers on the deck first encountered a new baptism. It turned out to be the soldiers of the army who had been equipped on the ship, and each of them had a repeater and fired indiscriminately at the decks of the ships of the Gucci navy.

Although the army soldiers in the Gucci navy had found shelter on the deck, the Shouyang navy surrounded them and released crossbow feather arrows from all directions, and the soldiers could not dodge the feathered arrows from all directions, and the army soldiers on the Gucci warship suffered heavy casualties and were quickly defeated.

The gangplanks connected the warships, and the Shouyang Army quickly rushed to the opposing deck, and some even grabbed the cable on the mast and swung straight over. Soon the infantry of the Shouyang Army lined up in formation, and they pounced on the opponent with some sword and shield soldiers in front and crossbowmen in the rear.

The Gucci soldiers never knew that the ship could fight like this, they didn't even wear armor, and they only had a waist knife in their hands, such equipment was no match for the Shouyang army, they were quickly wiped out, and those sailors who were not trained in hand-to-hand combat at all, and did not have enough weapons had to choose to surrender.

Under the cover of dense firepower, the Shouyang Navy quickly occupied all the Gucci warships and took all the prisoners into custody. At this time, the battle in the air had long ended, most of the so-called masters of the Gucci Navy were killed, and the two fleet commanders were captured by Hou Jian.

"Hehe, this is a great achievement, capturing two fleet commanders is enough for us to receive a bonus. "The Army often receives generous bonuses for fighting, which makes the officers and men of the Navy quite greedy, and this time it is finally their turn to receive the bonuses.

"The young master's tactics are really good, I didn't expect to be able to defeat the opponent so easily, I think the naval battle will be like this in the future. Li Bing said with a smile.

"The only problem is that those ballistas are really not working, and their warships are almost sieve, and they are stunned. Hou Jian spread his hands and said: "I think you can simply load the ballista with rockets." ”

"How's that going to work? Li Bing stopped: "If we use rockets, it is easy to cause our own fire, I think it is better to use the magic cannon in the bow." ”

"There is only one magic cannon per warship, so the firepower density is much smaller, and we can't say how powerful it can be. Hou Jian shook his head and said.

"Two commanders, I think it's better for us to sail first. The captain of the Dragon's Tooth reminded: "The other party is handing over, and there will definitely be a fleet return after that." If we don't go back for too long, I'm afraid that the Gucci Navy will be alert, and then we won't be able to carry out the sneak attack on the harbor. ”

"Yes, at their speed, two hundred nautical miles will take about twenty hours, that is, tomorrow morning. However, we are not much faster, and if we don't hurry, it will be difficult to carry out a sneak attack at night. ”

Li Bing nodded and said, "Okay, let the Fourth Fleet guard the prisoners, pull those broken ships behind, and follow the large army forward." The other detachments caught up with the flagship, and we sailed at full speed to the port of Haojie. "In today's tailwind conditions, the warships of the Shouyang Navy can reach a speed of about fourteen knots, so that they will arrive at Haojie Harbor in the early morning, and this is their chance to sneak attack.

The detachments were full sails and headed for Haojie Harbour at full speed, while the Fourth Fleet was much slower because it had to take prisoners and carry the broken sailboats, so they were getting farther and farther away from the main fleet, and were soon left behind altogether.

The improved Galen sailing ship was very fast, and they took advantage of the favorable wind to sail at a top speed of 14 knots to Haojie Harbor, and finally arrived outside Haojie Harbor after more than ten hours. Due to the lack of compasses and charts, their fleet, whether navy or merchant ships, sailed at night.

At this time, Haojie Harbor has fallen into darkness, there is no unloading task at night, so no one will stay here, now the dock seems deserted, there is no figure in sight, only on the cliffs on both sides of the port, there are dotted fires, those are the guards of the harbor, but in such a dark night, it is difficult to say what role they can play.

"According to reconnaissance, the enemy's defenses are very lax, and most of the warships of the Guqi Navy are also assembled in the harbor, how do you think they should deal with it?" Li Bing said with the information that had just arrived. This information is obtained by the Eagle Clan warriors with night vision, who sneaked into the port at night with a sampan to reconnoitre.

"I don't think this port is too wide, and if we let our main warship in, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. Even if a large warship enters the harbor, there is no place to turn at all, and it is difficult to suppress firepower. Hou Jian said.

Li Bing nodded: "Let's think of going together, I think that sending all the Caravel battleships in and letting these small warships set fire to it is estimated that the entire Guqi Navy can be wiped out." ”
