"Send an order to form your team as soon as you reach the open sea. After dawn, turn around and attack back to catch the Song army by surprise!" He turned around and quickly counted the number of warships following him, and Huangfu Gong gritted his teeth and ordered.

Although he was badly burned by Song Jun, he has not lost yet!

After all, naval battles are about the size of battleships and the size of the fleet. With hundreds of small fishing boats, the Song army could set fire to make sneak attacks, but they did not have the ability to fight the Goryeo fleet in an upright manner.

"Woo--" The sound of the conch only rang for a moment and then stopped abruptly. His order was not successfully transmitted.

Huangfu Gong was furious and immediately rushed towards the messenger. Before he could question him, he saw the soldier pointing to the sea in the distance and his body shaking like chaff.

"What's going on?" Huangfu Gong immediately realized that the situation was not good, and followed the messenger's finger to look into the distance.

I saw a dozen warships about the same size as my own ship, carrying bright lanterns, rushing towards me. Behind them, there were hundreds of fishing boats and sampans, lit with torches, following closely. Like a

A nirvana phoenix!

The Song army did not come from Jiaoxi City, but came from the sea!

In an instant, Huangfu Gong realized that he had jumped into a huge trap.

Since General Song stationed on Jingdong East Road knew how to create reefs and hidden piles in Dengzhou Port to block the attack of Korean warships, how could he have forgotten Jiaowan, which was only a short one-day boat ride from Dengzhou?

The reason why they did not place hidden reefs and hidden piles in Jiaowan was probably to prevent the Koryo Navy from attacking Dengzhou and then diverted to attack Jiaoxi, thus throwing themselves into a trap!

The waters of Jiaowan are calm, and even sampans do not have to worry about being sunk by the waves. The Denglai navy does not have many warships and soldiers, but along the coast of Denglai, there are many fishermen, fishing boats and sampans.

In addition, the fishermen are all locals and are familiar with the hydrology. Even if they sail in Jiao Bay at night, they will not worry about losing their way or running aground on the rocks.

However, it is impossible for the warships of the Goryeo Navy to stay anchored forever. As soon as the warships of the Goryeo Navy docked and anchored, General Song could command the fishing boats and sampans to pounce on the Goryeo Navy like a pack of wolves.

bloodletting".

He does not need to know water warfare at all, and he does not need many warships and soldiers. He only needs to be willing to spend money and hire fishermen to set fire to the fishing boats and sampans and ram them against the warships of the Goryeo Navy, and he will firmly occupy

Got the upper hand.

The only flaw in this vicious plan was that someone discovered the whereabouts of the Song army in advance. How could Cai Renyuan, who was forced to divide his troops, seriously keep an eye on the Song army in Dengzhou City on behalf of his three ungrateful subordinates?

As long as he was negligent, the Song army could quietly stick to the coast at night and sneak to Jiaowan by boat. Moreover, if he and Cai Ren were willing to change places, Huangfu Gong could not guarantee whether he would even find out that the Song army had something.

If there is any abnormal movement, you also deliberately turn a blind eye?

"Commanders all, be careful, commanders all beware, the enemy ship has already entered within two hundred steps, be careful of the ballistae!" The loyal soldier Dutou Huangfuliang suddenly rushed to the bow of the ship with another soldier, and couldn't help but argue.

After getting up, Huangfu Gong walked towards the center of the battleship.

"Blow the conch and order the warships behind to follow. With my ship as the vanguard, launch a fish-shaped formation! We have many big ships. If we rush out together, we have a great chance of winning!" Huangfu Gongru woke up from his dream and staggered back while being held up.

, while giving instructions loudly.

Although he has fallen into a trap, he cannot sit still and wait for death. He still has enough warships here, and there are only two or three miles away from the exit of Jiaowan. As long as the other warships obey the command, he is still 60% sure, with

Break through the Song army's obstruction and break out of the encirclement.

"Woooooooo..." The conch sound sounded quickly, transmitting Huangfu Gong's order to other Goryeo warships behind. However, before other Goryeo warships could respond, the dozen or so Song warships that were approaching had already

He fired the crossbow first.

"Swish, swish, swish -", the thick crossbow guns soared into the air, roaring towards the Korean warship. The tail of each crossbow gun was trailing a bright flame, and along the way, there were sparks from the gun.

The body splashes down, just like the legendary goddess scattering flowers.

"The mechanism, there is a mechanism on the Song Army's crossbow!"

"Get out of the way, or the sparks will burn the sail!"

"Damn the Song people, they also tied oil cans to the tails of their crossbows!"

…

Shouts of exclamation arose one after another on the Goryeo warships. In the next moment, all the Goryeo warships began to try hard to change their course to avoid being directly hit by the crossbow gun, or being affected by the flames dragged on the tail of the crossbow gun.

The soldiers of the Goryeo Navy were no strangers to the ballistas and crossbow guns used in water warfare. Goryeo warships were also equipped with the same sharp weapons, and some oil cans made of bamboo or wood were fixed on the front of some crossbow guns for easy use.

After firing, set fire to enemy ships.

However, the soldiers of the Goryeo Navy have never seen them burning all the way and dragging a crossbow with a tail of flame. They don’t know how powerful it is. Therefore, each battleship can only follow the instructions on the ship.

Orders given by the highest-ranking officer are followed.

In this way, there is no need to talk about forming a formation to fight. It is rare for battleships to ensure that they do not collide with each other in a panic. It is impossible to continue to cooperate with each other and form formations to fight against powerful enemies.

As a result, the vast majority of Goryeo warships did dodge the crossbows fired by the Song army, but were unable to obey any orders from the flagship. The dozen or so Song warships on the opposite side immediately accelerated forward after firing a round of crossbows.

Pounce, the bow of each warship, the collision angle made of fine iron shines with cold light.

"Woo, woo, woo, woo woo..." The sound of horn-drawing was like the roar of a dragon. Hundreds of fishing boats and sampans also accelerated suddenly with the sound of horn-drawing. Carrying a boat full of dry firewood and grease, each

Search for arson targets.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Each Goryeo warship fired its crossbows decisively to intercept, but the effect was very little.

The accuracy of crossbows is limited. Unless the crossbows on multiple warships are concentrated and fired towards the same area, it will be difficult to hit a moving target.

As for concentrating multiple ballistas, the premise is that the warships can obey the command and fight in formation!

"Speed ​​up, rush out quickly, don't be too eager to fight. The fishing boat will capsize as soon as it hits, don't give them the chance to get close and set fire to it!" At the critical moment, Huangfu Gong showed some heroic spirit, and raised his voice to remind all the Korean soldiers.

This reminder is very correct, however, it is too late.

The messenger had just raised the conch, but before he could turn his reminder into a conch sound and sound it out, a Song Army warship had already rushed to his ship, and was met with another volley of fire.

"Bang!" Huangfu Gong's ship also fired a crossbow gun to fight back. The two crossbow guns passed each other in mid-air, and then each successfully hit the target.

The oil tanks on the Korean crossbows also cracked, and in the blink of an eye, a large "bonfire" was lit on the front deck of the Song Dynasty warship.

The nearby Song Dynasty sailors immediately rushed over with buckets of sand and poured the moist sea sand onto the "bonfire" in turn. Soon, the bonfire became smaller and smaller.

Huangfu Gong's ship was not so easy to deal with. The fire ballistae fired by the Song army passed by the forecastle and hit the main sail.

The main sail made of bamboo strips instantly turned into a huge candle. But the fire crossbow gun hung in the air, and burning fish oil dripped from the two oil storage tanks on the gun body and tail.

Under the mast, there was a large area with flames. The Korean sailors who were trained by Cai Renyuan took turns carrying sand buckets and tried to put out the fire with sea sand. However, one layer was extinguished, and it fell again in mid-air.

A layer of fire can never be made smaller.

While the sailors on the boat were busy, a fishing boat suddenly rushed over silently. With just a slight collision, the fishing boat was shattered into pieces. The grease and dry firewood in the cabin were scattered.

, on the sides and bottom of the Goryeo warship, a vertical wall of fire burned out.

"Spill the mud, pour the mud!" Several of them shook their heads and shouted at the top of their lungs to give the order. When the nearby sailors heard this, they immediately lifted the barrels filled with mud and dumped them at the location of the fire.

It is common sense to use mud to deal with fish oil fires. Every trained Korean soldier is convinced of this.

However, what they couldn't believe was that when the mud and the flames met, the latter actually jumped up against the mud, and in the blink of an eye, it spread to the deck.

Every flame emits a strange light, like a ghost rushing out of the underworld, dancing on the deck.

They were indeed ghosts, bright red on the outside but blue-green on the inside. Pouring more mud on them not only failed to extinguish them, but made the flames jump higher and wilder.

"Fierce fire oil!" There was no shortage of knowledgeable people around Huangfu Gong, who shouted loudly, "Don't pour it on, just put dry sand. This is fierce fire oil, the fierce fire oil from the Western Regions! The more you pour it, the more vigorous it will be."

"

"Pour out the sand, pour out the sand!" Countless people repeated in a panic. Then they went around looking for the wooden barrels to store the sand. After finally controlling the fire, there was another loud noise from the bow of the ship.

,"boom!"

The Song warship coming from the opposite side actually hit the front half of the Goryeo warship. The sharp collision angle directly disemboweled the Gao warship.

The deck shook, and countless Korean soldiers around Huangfu Gong were thrown to the ground. Although he luckily did not fall due to the support of Huangfu Liang and others, he was still shaken dizzy.

Before he had time, he ordered the brothers on the battleship to stand up and face the enemy. Several flying claws dragging ropes had already roared from the Song ship. In the blink of an eye, they were pulled out between the two battleships.

There are seven or eight ropeways.

A young Song general with a slender body eight feet away held a knife in one hand, pulled the ropeway with an iron hook, and fell in the air. As soon as his feet came into contact with the deck, a sudden autumn wind swept the fallen leaves, and they were far away from him.

The nearest Korean soldier was cut into two pieces at the waist.

The three Goryeo soldiers who came back to their senses screamed and rushed towards the young Song general, trying to avenge their companions. The Song general was not afraid. He let go of the iron hook on the ropeway and rushed forward, aiming at the person who was rushing towards him.

The Koryo soldiers in front of them came out and slashed Mount Huashan with great force.

He moved so fast that the blood-stained blade drew a streak of red lightning in mid-air. The oncoming Korean soldiers had to raise their swords to block, and were immediately shocked and staggered back.

"Dang!" Young General Song quickly put away his sword, turned around and raised it diagonally, knocking away the blade that was slashing at him from the left. Then, he suddenly stretched out his right leg and struck an old tree root, grabbing the third place.

Before the Korean soldier struck him, he swept the opponent into the air and threw him half a foot away diagonally!

Without giving the fallen man a chance to stand up again, the young General Song quickly chased after him and chopped off his head with a knife. At the same time, he distanced himself from the other two Goryeo soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, he ran forward three more steps, stepped on the side of the ship with his feet, moved quickly, bent his knees, and jumped up. The whole person actually flew upside down in the air by relying on the side of the ship. The steel knife in his hand was like a long whip, and was thrown out as the body moved.

, hitting the neck of the second Korean soldier who was chasing him.

The neck was cut off, and blood spurted out wildly. The Koryo soldier who had been stabbed circled on the spot, raised his hand and grabbed it in the air, but couldn't catch anything. He fell down with his eyes wide open.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the third Korean soldier turned around and ran away. The young general Song strode after him and chopped the man directly into the sea from behind.

"Surrender and avoid death!" He suddenly raised his knife and shouted, regardless of whether the Korean soldiers on the deck could understand. Then he walked back to the ropeway and opened the way for Pao Ze who was following him one after another.

land.

More officers and soldiers of the Song Army jumped onto the Goryeo warship with the help of the ropeway. They quickly formed a formation beside the young General Song. "Surrender and avoid death!" they shouted in unison, and then quickly moved forward. In the blink of an eye, they were from the bow of the ship.
