Li Congyi has been heading south every morning for more than ten days, slightly closer to Butterfly Island. In the afternoon, they turned back to the north. What Li Congyi was worried about was that the Mingzhou Sailor was defeated too quickly, so fast that he couldn't catch up. Therefore, calculating the date of the departure of the Mingzhou Navy Division from Changguo Island, the civil war was about to break out in the next few days, and Li Congyi discussed with Zhang Qiao again, and the fleet sailed closer to the southwest.

On the morning of this day, the whole fleet slowly headed south. Li Congyi raised his head, and the blue sky was like a wash at this time, and it was the good weather of the naval battle. However, the wolf smoke that everyone was anxiously waiting for had not risen for a long time. In fact, at this time, the Mingzhou sailors had already begun to land on the island.

By the time more than two hours had passed in the afternoon, the entire fleet began to turn slowly.

At this time, wolf smoke rose faintly from the southwest. It's still far from Butterfly Island, so of course it's not the wolf smoke of Butterfly Island, but the wolf smoke that the reconnaissance ship from the fleet came out of the fleet and lit up after seeing the wolf smoke rising from Butterfly Island.

Full sails, southwest Butterfly Island direction, full speed ahead! Zhang Qiao gave a signal, and the entire fleet quickly went to Butterfly Island to kill.

Li Congyi is still on the way, and in the sea area of Butterfly Island, Tian's battle to encircle and annihilate the main warships of the Mingzhou Navy Division is nearing the end. Four ships of 600 stone had already caught fire, and the non-commissioned sailors had given up their resistance and jumped into the sea. Only Jia Heyi's thousand-stone ship, still supported by the only broken sail, rushed towards the bay with difficulty. But under the siege of the surrounding four thousand-stone ships, the entire above deck was already in shambles.

A bed crossbow came from nowhere, and was blocked by one of the guards, and before it could be exhausted, it was stuck diagonally on Jia Heyu's shoulder, almost nailing him to a supporting pillar in the cabin. Jia Hefu bandaged it casually, and endured the great pain to support it until now, it was the end of the strong crossbow, but he refused to give up. There are not many guards left around, even the bows and crossbows will be exhausted, but the lord will not surrender or give up, and everyone will fight to the death.

Tian's escort fleet had already rushed ahead of Jia Heyu and rushed into the bay. The Mingzhou sailors had already abandoned the ship and went ashore, and there was no counterattack in the bay, and six 600-stone boats scattered and set fire.

At this time, the small fleet led by Han Shi came out. Looking at the more than ten small boats that turned out from behind the stone cliff, Tian Haomiao didn't care, and only ordered the remaining escort fleet to rush up to block the retreat of this small fleet, so as to wipe them out.

In the bay, Tian's 600 stone ships scattered in all directions, giving Han Shi a chance to break through, and immediately divided the fleet into three groups and went to besiege each one.

Tian Zihan is setting fire to the bay. There are more ships in this bay than I imagined. Tian Zihan is also a son of the Tian clan and also served in the Mingzhou Navy Army. At the beginning, the children of the Tian clan knew that they were going to annihilate the Mingzhou Naval Division, but it was also quite difficult, after all, many of the Tian's children had experience in the Mingzhou Naval Division. Although many of the Tian's children have been excluded in recent years, and almost all of the core children have withdrawn from the army, the water division has been a robe after all.

But together with the war, the little unbearable in my heart also came to the clouds. Tian Zihan only ordered that he must set fire carefully so as not to miss a boat. There were rockets again, and suddenly three small boats surrounded him. Tian Zihan saw that the distance was still far away, so he calmly ordered, and the soldiers prepared bed crossbows and bows and arrows to prepare for battle.

At this time, more than 30 crossbowmen on Han Shi's three ships began the first round of salvos, and the distance between one hundred and fifty steps and one hundred steps was the best distance for the Xuanzhou crossbowmen to repeatedly train. At that moment, there was a rain of crossbow arrows on Tian Zihan's warship, and more than 20 people on the deck fell half on the spot. Tian Zihan's heart sank, and he pulled out the iron crossbow arrow less than a foot long from the nearest wounded soldier, Tian Zihan's pupils quickly contracted: This is definitely not the crossbow arrow of the Mingzhou Sailor!

Preventing the rest of the soldiers from going to the deck again, Tian Zihan ordered the archers to launch rockets from the cabin to destroy the sails of the opponent's ship.

When Han Shi saw it, he could only shoot rockets at the other party, and quickly staggered to find the next enemy ship.

Tian Zihan saw the opportunity quickly, but other ships did not have this good luck, one ship actually fired six rounds with the Xuanzhou crossbowmen, and the dead bodies were strewn on the deck, and they couldn't get off their feet, and as a result, the ship was seriously understaffed, and it was too late to put out the fire, so it fell into the fire like many ships in the bay.

Han Shi circled around the bay, and then burst out again before Tian's second escort fleet reached the bay. According to Wu Feixing's original intention, at this time, Han Shi should go east, find a place in the shallows and grab the shore on the beach. However, Han Shi saw that the crossbowmen of the Xuanzhou soldiers were very good, so he had other ideas.

When the next boat took the lead, he went north, as if he was going to pick up the thousand-stone ship of the Mingzhou sailors.

On Butterfly Island, Wu Feixing, who was nervously following the battle situation, couldn't help frowning. Shi Deping couldn't help but clench his fists, and said anxiously: "What is the big boss going to do?" Instead, Zhao Kai said: "Xu is Han Dang's family has another plan, and wait and see." ”

Seeing that the small boat of the Mingzhou Navy Division was going to save the Qianshi big ship, Tian's escort fleet continued to adjust its course and wanted to intercept the small fleet of the Mingzhou Navy Division.

Han Shi traveled north for a while, but he pressed the speed, and the entire fleet formed a tight formation lined up from north to south, and then suddenly turned to the east. Soon a herringbone shape with the head to the east and the mouth to the west was formed.

Tian Haomiao didn't take this small fleet to heart, but there was one question that he couldn't help but think about, that is, were there any other ships on the island? Could it be that other ships have slipped out to report the news? Tian Haomiao decided to divide the troops, so he ordered four 800-stone ships and six 600-stone ships to stay behind and continue to destroy the remnants of the enemy, and the rest of the warships were to return to Changguo and then start an incident.

In the face of Han Shi's "pocket", the leader of the escort fleet hesitated slightly, and then rushed in, and then was baptized by the crossbow arrows of five small boats, and the ship was blinded at that time, followed by a rocket salvo, and the sailors were about to rush out to put out the fire, but they encountered a salvo of crossbow arrows, and the ship soon died, and the ship slowed down. The second ship did not dare to be besieged any longer, so it could only move slightly north, intending to form an engagement line from the north of Han Shi. However, in this way, the convoy blocked the way of the main ships heading south from the north.

Seeing that the distance was widened, Han Shi no longer fell in love with the war, and led the boats to rush ashore one after another.

Han Shi was the last to jump ashore from the ship, and when he looked back, he saw that on the sea to the east, several masts were sticking out of the water, and his main fleet had finally arrived at the battlefield.

At this time, Tian Haomiao had already received two pieces of bad news.

First, the small boat that engaged in the battle afterwards was not the Mingzhou Naval Division, and it was determined that this could be determined from the fact that those people went ashore after they rushed ashore on the beach, and did not meet with the Mingzhou Naval Division. The second is that a huge fleet has appeared in the east, and it is coming with great momentum.

It is impossible for Taihu Kou to have so many crossbow arrows, it is likely that a certain force has greatly strengthened Taihu Kou, and even Taihu Kou has the support of a certain big force behind it. Thinking about it this way, then the fleet in the east is very likely to be the main fleet of Taihu Kou.

To fight or not to fight? Tian Haomiao hesitated for a moment. Because on the battlefield at this time, the warships of the Mingzhou Navy Division basically sank, and even Jia Heyi's thousand-stone ship was also sinking slowly, and Jia Heyu estimated that he would have died a long time ago. However, Tian's fleet was scattered, mainly divided into three groups. One is the warship led by Tian Haomiao, who is about to leave the battlefield; the other group was chasing the small fleet, which was now turning around and regrouping; Another group also set fire to ships in the bay.

At this time, it is possible to escape and stay up until dark, but what after that? Tian Haomiao did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered all the troops to converge towards him to fight another dignified naval battle.

Looking at the movements of Tian's fleet, Zhang Qiao knew that this battle was finally coming. I was excited at the moment, and I just kept ordering.

"Ten against six, ten against five, the advantage is mine." Looking at the eleven ships rushing on the opposite side, Tian Haomiao was also not afraid. What if I fought for half a day, there were twice as many ships as you!

Tian Haomiao let the escort fleet fight on its own, and only led the main fleet that had been hastily completed to meet the battle.

However, as soon as they fought, Tian Haomiao felt the pressure. One is that the opponent has a lot of crossbows, and the other is that the crossbow arrows are extremely accurate, and the two armies hedge and shoot at each other, and the Tian warships suffer a lot. While Taihu Kou was still fighting with the rear team, Tian Haomiao urgently ordered the front team to turn around and ordered all boats to stick up and fight in close combat.

However, what Zhang Qiao was waiting for was melee combat. Zhang Qiao deliberately slowed down, and at the same time turned slightly to the northwest, so that Tian Haomiao's front team could stick up for melee combat first. Zhang Qiao and Tian Haomiao's respective warships first entered the range of fifty paces, at this time it can be said that they were in close combat, the bed crossbow would hardly shoot in the air, and the bows and arrows were changed to flat fire, and the casualties on both sides increased greatly for a while. Seeing that the front team of Tian's main warship had already pasted up, the rear team turned around on the other side and tried to paste it as well.

Zhang Qiao gave an order, and dozens of black, round things flew out of the ships, smashed on the deck, and the ground shattered, and oil splashed everywhere, and then the fire flashed, and it burned. Tian Haomiao didn't care about it at first, but soon realized that something was wrong. First, the oil was extremely difficult to extinguish, and some soldiers happened to be splashed with oil and were burned alive; The second was that the oil flowed down the crack in the deck, and then a fire broke out in the cabin on the ground floor.

Tian Haomiao's front team withstood two waves of oil tanks, and due to improper response, they quickly lost their combat effectiveness. At this time, the rear team of Tian's main warship was also posted according to the order, and of course there was no suspense in the result.

Tian Haomiao's eldest son, Tian Ziji, at this time, was wearing a cloak, with a crossbow arrow still hanging on his shoulder, holding Tian Haomiao's thigh, and cried: "Dad, withdraw, if you don't withdraw, it's too late!" ”

Tian Haomiao burst into tears, and ten large ships of more than 800 stones were wiped out in an instant. What's the use of escaping into small boats without these big ships? Escape to a small boat, and avoid total annihilation? If you have to go back alone, the Tian clan will not be able to gain a foothold on the Changguo and other islands, and then the matter of the Mingzhou sailor will be turned out, and you will be wiped out!

"I'm not leaving." Seeing that the fire in the cabin was getting bigger and bigger, Tian Haomiao also knew that he couldn't delay any longer, "Let your third uncle lead the fleet to buy you time, and the children of your generation can escape a few times." After going back, Changguo Island couldn't stay, so he went back to Mingzhou City. Tell your second uncle to calm down, just bring some softness and find a way to go to the Song Kingdom. ”

After speaking, he pushed Tian Ziji's hand away and walked towards the cabin on the ground floor, where the stairs had already ignited a fire, Tian Haomiao only took two steps, and the stairs collapsed, and Tian Haomiao disappeared into the flames.

Several guards set up Tian Ziji, and walked out without saying anything, and when the last guard jumped onto the small boat, the deck of the big ship was also burned through and began to burst into flames.
