August 15, night, full moon.

"Judging from the layout of the water village, Liu Pheasant does have a few pounds and two, after all, he can defeat the South China Sea pirates by relying on merchant ships, and this king will not underestimate the enemy."

Puliuru Ammo looked into the distance and chuckled:

"It's just that no matter how capable you are, you can't match the gap between soldiers and ships."

There was a sharp-eyed and said:

"Your Highness, among the Han army, it seems that some ships are in the form of iron cables."

"Ironway?"

Puliuru Amor squinted into the distance:

"Among the Han army, there should be less than 30,000 sailors, and most of the rest are foot soldiers."

"If you want to make up for the gap in the number of soldiers and horses, you naturally need to use a chain boat."

"In this way, we can let the foot pawn stand still at sea, so that he will not be swept away by the rough waves."

"I have to say, this is also a good plan, the Han army is fierce, if our army is just a ship intersecting, a broadside battle, the other side responds with a chain of ships, but it can also struggle, bringing a lot of casualties to our army."

Yang Zhong braved the wind and cold, climbed onto the deck, and proposed, "Why don't you try a fire attack Your Highness?" ”

"That's nature. It's been blowing lately, but it's all the north wind! ”

Puliuru Ammo nodded at the Han warship opposite with his chin, clasped his hands, and said with a smile:

"Liu Pheasant doesn't have a long memory, how can he not hear about the defeat of Cao Hou's iron rope!"

"Specially sending such a great gift, if this king does not use fire to attack, won't he be ridiculed by the world for not understanding history?"

Emperor Zhaolie's biggest opponent in the Central Plains, Cao Mengde, the last epitaph is written "Cao Hou, the general of the Han Expedition to the West", engraved by Emperor Zhaolie after he ruled the world, so the world is known as Cao Hou.

And Cao Hou's most well-known defeat was a fire in Chibi, which completely cut off the possibility of dominating the world.

When the Donghu generals heard this, they also burst into laughter.

"I also said that Liu Pheasant is Emperor Zhaolie, who began to rise from a fire and announced the hope of the revival of the Han family, but I didn't expect it to be the opposite, completely burying the Han Dynasty!"

Knowing that it was blowing the north wind, the Han army also connected boats, thinking that the Donghu people had not read history and would not set fires?

Even so, there are Han generals in the army, and Zhang Huaiyang, who is familiar with military books, how can he not understand fire tactics!

However, most of them can understand, after all, the Han army has exhausted its donkey skills.

If they didn't use iron cables and put foot soldiers into water battles, how could the Han army defeat the nearly 1,000 ships of Donghu and 100,000 well-trained sailors?

Pu Liuru glanced at Zhang Huaiyang's ship hanging behind him, touched his chin, and said:

"It's better to send people to test it, and General Zhang of the province said that this king is greedy for merit."

Then there was a shipwreck, heading towards the Han army's water village.

The wind was blowing from the north to the south, and from north to south, the ship pulled up the sails, and the speed was much faster.

When the Donghu soldiers on the sea saw this scene, they were all happy in their hearts, you have your serial plan, and I have my big north wind.

God is helping Donghu, and I may also feel that this thousand-year-old Han has lasted too long, and it is time to change the dynasty!

Liu Ke was still on the Gaihai, and the north wind was still blowing at this time, so he could only wait for the opportunity.

Dian Chu stood on the side and looked at the sea, silently guarding.

The water battle is dangerous, and there is nowhere to escape if defeated, Jia Wuji would rather stay in the prison, Xiao Yuanchang also has to be in charge of logistics, and Yue Shaoqian needs to guard against Zhang Huaiyang leading his troops to march by land.

Therefore, the only person around him who has brains and can negotiate is Chen Fujia.

"Chen Qing, in order to appease the important ministers of the court, I have already let out the wind, saying that I will choose a concubine when I return victorious."

"But you say that this battle, can the big man win?"

Chen Fujia was really not sure, and the emperor was asking about the Great Han, not himself:

"With fewer enemies and more enemies, it is nothing more than a plan of fire and water, and we can only rely on the wind at sea to resist Donghu with fire, but now this wind is not conducive to our army."

"There is also a chain ship proposed by His Majesty, which is really a bit risky."

The north wind was blowing strongly, and there was no possibility of making the fire count as few as the enemy.

Moreover, the emperor also connected some of the ships in series with iron cables, so that the foot soldiers could board the ships to fight.

Isn't this waiting for the Donghu people to set a fire and burn them all?

Even if the Donghu fire ship can be stopped with frigates, the number of soldiers under Gan Wenban's command who can not take the serial ship is only 30,000, which is overstretched compared with the Donghu sailors.

Of course, Liu Ke knew what Chen Fujia meant, and the iron cable boat was a god operation with a lot of defeats.

In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was attacked by fire and defeated.

The Eastern Wu Iron Cable connected the boats, blocked the Jin army, and was destroyed by the Jin army.

Nanchen Tiesuo connected boats, blocked the Sui army, and was destroyed by the Sui army.

Zhang Shijie of the Southern Song Dynasty led the Southern Song Dynasty naval army to fight against the army of the Yuan Dynasty, using iron cables to connect boats, was attacked by fire, and unfortunately was defeated.

In the water battle of Poyang Lake, Chen Youliang, who had an absolute advantage, used iron cables to connect boats, and Zhu Yuanzhang used fire attacks, the situation was reversed, and Dayou became defeated.

King Ning's rebellion, also in Poyang Lake, was defeated by Wang Shouren with fire.

Itabaya's Armada was also burned down by a giant fireship.

Liu Ke didn't explain too much, just a joke:

"It's not about winning or losing, it's about living and dying together, if something goes wrong, no one wants to run."

Chen Fujia's scalp tingled when he heard this, this is more ruthless than a broken cauldron and a sinking boat, and the Gaihai under his feet is also connected to some ships!

If something happens, the emperor can't escape!

"Ahem"

Liu Ke coughed lightly before recovering his positive color, and said with a glance:

"No means are foolproof, there are advantages, there must be disadvantages."

In fact, it is not a stupid act, but a battle formation with obvious effects, and Zhang Shijie and Chen Youliang have all gained advantages because of this.

Like Chen Youliang's iron cable, if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't attack, or the wind was better, the Han would have to be unified again.

Zhang Shijie's first iron cable boat failed, but the second time after the fire prevention experience, the iron cable boat did win.

Liu Ke said again: "I quite appreciate what Chen Qing said. ”

"Huh?"

Chen Fujia didn't react.

"Water warfare is not a victory with more boats."

Chen Fujia suddenly realized something, and said in surprise:

"Is Your Majesty deliberately luring the Donghu people to set fire?"

"The north wind blowing now can certainly help the fire, and a fire will burn my Han's iron cable boat to the ground."

"But if all of a sudden, the wind direction changes to the south wind, and the Donghu people are burning themselves!"

Liu Ke nodded, he did have this idea.

It's not enough to burn it yourself, if the Donghu people prepare early and take precautions, they may not be able to burn too many ships.

And finding a way to seduce Donghu to burn it together is different.

Burn on both sides, and then rely on the destiny of [Liuding Divine Fire], wait for the wind to turn, and you can burn the Donghu people into a paste in one breath.

Even though only some of the boats of the Donghu people are connected to the boat, there is no iron cable, but there are nearly a thousand boats, and the boats are densely arranged, and they can't avoid it if they really burn up!

It's just that the biggest problem is the direction of the wind.

Chen Fujia also has this concern, although the emperor once used Liuding Liujia to fool the Donghu people, which looks quite mysterious, but the north wind has been blowing recently, can it really change the direction of the wind and change to the south wind, and since then the attack and defense have changed shapes?

"Your Majesty, there are Donghu ships approaching!"

"Oh?"

Liu Ke looked from afar and saw a ship with sails puffed up, quickly coming towards the water village.

"It should be to test the reality of our army, and give an order for people to intercept it."

What was blocked by the water village was a warship that had been converted from a medium-sized merchant ship.

The craftsmen who were robbed from Yizhou were not idle, and they had been renovating the ships.

Even Liu Ke's Gaihai has made some "small surprise" changes.

A large number of arrows were fired from the ship, and they flew towards the East Beard.

However, the Donghu people were prepared, raised their shields in a formation, blocked the arrow attack, and at the same time, with the help of the north wind, the speed did not decrease at all to rush towards the Han warship.

Soon, the two ships collided, and there was a large amount of tung oil hay on the Donghu Wagon, and with a whoosh, a burst of fire broke out, and then took the opportunity to throw all the tung oil hay onto the Han warship.

Driven by the wind, the fire spread rapidly.

And these trained Donghu soldiers jumped into the sea one after another.

The soldiers of the Han army on the ship wanted to shoot arrows to kill, but they harvested, but they delayed the time and failed to put out the fire, and saw that the ship under them had been ignited, so they had to abandon the ship and leave.

Those East Lake soldiers who fell into the sea can even look back from time to time, which is quite arrogant.

Jingle Bell –

Suddenly, there was a bell sound.

"Where do the rats dare to bully me?!"

"Brothers, do it!"

I saw a swordfish boat accompanied by a series of bells, sailing out of the water village, although it was going against the wind, but the speed was not slow, and it caught up with the Donghu soldiers who jumped into the sea.

Then he jumped into the water and grabbed one by one, and Gan Wenban took the big knife, and even cut eight people in a row.

"Brothers, don't forget what we did before, these days, who hasn't heard and seen the fireworks and songs on the Donghulou boat?"

"Tempted? Tempting! If you are tempted, go and grab it! ”

Gan Wen forbade the brocade clothes to be opened, the waist hung Jin Ling, the big knife was on the shoulder, and he stepped on the bow of the boat, full of gangsterism, with a number of heads, and quickly sailed back to the water village.

He is seasick, and he can sit all the way and vomit all the way on the upstairs boat, but as long as he takes a small boat and the boat is fast enough, he can't faint, not only can't he faint, but he is even more violent!

But it still couldn't save the medium-sized merchant ship.

By the time the boat sailed back to the water village, it had already burned half.

Chen Fujia tightened his brows and paced back and forth on the Gaihai:

"Your Majesty, this is just a temptation by the Donghu people, if it comes to attack in a big way, I'm afraid it's not good!"

The soldiers on board were also nervous.

The Donghu people only sent a small boat to attack with fire from the north wind, and they were able to replace the medium-sized ships of the Han Dynasty.

And the big han doesn't have much to counter it yet.

Although Gan Wenban is brave and invincible at sea, his subordinates are in the middle of the arts, and there are less than 30,000 sailors and soldiers who can fight freely on the water.

In other words, only less than 30,000 people can go out of the water village to intercept the ships that Donghu is constantly attacking.

If you let those foot soldiers who are on a chain boat run into the Donghu fire boat, there is only one end.

Ashes.

On the other side, the Donghu soldiers were smiling.

I didn't feel sorry for the little ship and the soldiers on it at all.

Although twenty or thirty people died, they burned a medium-sized ship of the Han army, and obviously made a lot of money!

However, Puliuru Amor still sighed:

"Careless, I thought that in the South China Sea, only Sun Zhien and Jiang Tai could be regarded as brave and good at fighting, but I didn't expect that this Gan Wenban is also a brave person, so he must be guarded against."

A member of the Puliuru Warrior General rubbed his hands and said:

"It is said that Gan Wenban was still a general of our department back then, and later lost to Sun Zhien, so he voted for pirates, and now he has joined the Han army.

Puliuru Ammo shook his head and said:

"I don't have to think about it."

"Our army is united, you are all familiar with water warfare, our ships are several times larger than the Han army, and we also have the help of the north wind, this time and place are favorable, and the battle is not too much to think about."

"This king's preparation of these fire-burning things can be regarded as useful."

"The order of the king of this book, with Pu Liuru Guluo as the spear, will surely break through the Han army's water village and burn them to ashes!"

A burly general with a different appearance from ordinary people immediately received the order:

"Your Highness just looks at the water village on this ship, watching the water village soar into the sky, stretching for thousands of miles!"

"Yes!"

The generals also responded together.
