In the southeast sea, the fleets led by Liu Rengui and Du Shuang are heading towards Quanzhou Port. Their order is to clear the sea in the southeast sea and ensure the safety of the people along the coast.
After several days of sailing, they were not far from Quanzhou, and they could arrive in Quanzhou in one day for corrections and supplies.
On the flagship of Liu Rengui's fleet, the lookout was standing on the tall mast, looking around. Suddenly, he kept gesturing from above to below.
The sailors below saw his gesture and immediately understood it. They hurriedly ran to the stern of the ship and looked back. They saw a ship approaching them at an extremely fast speed. Through the flags on the ship, the sailors understood the ship clearly. Knowing the purpose of his visit, he hurriedly ran to Liu Rengui and reported: "Sir, Sir Liu Rengui has sent a ship to report something important to you!"
Liu Rengui turned around and looked behind the ship. There was indeed an offshore ship approaching. He nodded slightly and said: "Be careful to protect yourself and let it get closer!"
"Yes, sir!"
After a while, a school captain boarded Liu Rengui's flagship and came to Liu Rengui.
"What is the purpose of Mr. Liu Renyuan sending you here?" Liu Rengui asked curiously.
"Sir, this is the letter Liu Renyuan asked me to give you!" The captain took out a letter written by Liu Renyuan from his arms and handed it to Liu Renyuan.
After receiving the letter, Liu Rengui opened it and looked at it. When he saw what was written on the letter, his expression changed slightly.
But before he could give the order, the sailors were heard shouting loudly after receiving the report from the lookout.
"Sir, there is an unknown fleet approaching, heading northwest, twenty miles away!"
Hearing this, Liu Rengui looked a little ugly and said: "Inform Mr. Du to outflank from the right, we will face the enemy head-on! Don't be careless!"
Orders were passed down one after another, don't pull up the sails, giant crossbow arrows were loaded, and the iron knots on them were ready to be ignited at any time.
Du Shuang also received the news from Liu Rengui immediately, and his expression also changed slightly.
Although it is far away and the invading ship cannot be seen clearly, it can be roughly seen that the invading ship is not a Haiyan, but an organized fleet. Judging from the direction in which it is traveling, the ship is not chaotic at all. , very orderly.
Like Liu Rengui and Du Shuang, when they discovered the enemy, the enemy also discovered them immediately.
On top of a huge ship, an Arab with gemstone rings on his fingers, a large gold chain on his chest, and a white cloth on his head was looking at the fleets of Liu Rengui and Du Shuang that were approaching them.
"This is the ship of this country? It seems that this country is not very good!" the Arab said with disdain.
"Master Abdullah, according to the information we have gathered, this country is still very prosperous, but it is still inferior to us. But isn't this just right? We can plunder their wealth and steal their Woman, take all these back to the Great Food Country, and the Lord of Xiangbi Country will definitely praise you!" A skinny Arab said with a smile.
"You are right. This country is indeed rich. We just plundered some people and gained a lot of wealth, especially the cloth here. If we transport it back, we can sell it for a lot of money." Abdullah hehe smiled.
"Sir Abdullah, we just robbed some ordinary people a few days ago. I heard that Quanzhou Port is even richer. If we can capture it, I'm afraid we will be able to go back!" The skinny Arab looked wide-eyed. Light Road.
"Well, this port called Quanzhou is indeed a big city in this country, and there are many people. If we can capture it, we can indeed go back!" Abdullah said in agreement.
"Master Abdullah, everything is ready, just wait for the enemy to approach!" At this time, an Arab in white came forward to report.
"Quickly deal with them, I don't have time to play with these people!" Abdullah said nonchalantly.
Compared to the Arabs who didn't care, Liu Rengui's face was full of solemnity. As he continued to get closer, the enemy's ships became increasingly clear.
The huge ship was three times their size, and their offshore ships were like children in front of the enemy. No wonder Liu Rengui looked so ugly.
"Is this the ship from the Western countries that your Excellency called? Your Excellency did not lie to us. There are actually such powerful countries in the West." Liu Rengui murmured to himself.
Standing on his own ship, Du Shuang also saw the invading enemy clearly, and his expression was also not very good-looking. It was true that the Arab ships were too big and could not be compared with offshore ships.
At this moment, Liu Rengui sent a signal again to contact Du Shuang. After receiving Liu Rengui's message, Du Shuang analyzed it and immediately issued an order.
I saw two fleets with their sails fully drawn, arranged on the left and right, and circuitously moved towards the rear of the Arab ships.
Arab ships are indeed large in size, but their speed is not as fast and flexible as offshore ships.
Liu Rengui observed this and immediately thought of using his own speed advantage to deal with the enemy. Although they had iron knots and could inflict heavy damage to the enemy, they had to get close to do it. And when they got close, they launched attacks on the enemy. Attack, the enemy is not a fool, and will definitely launch a counterattack against them, which will lead to a lose-lose outcome. He does not want to die together with the enemy.
And according to the information Luo Zhang gave him, their only advantage was the iron knot, so they had to hit it with one blow and cause huge losses to the enemy before they could win.
On the ship in the Arabian Sea, Abdullah was drinking wine and looking at Liu Rengui's fleet ahead, with a joking expression on his lips.
In Abdullah's view, these Tang Dynasty ships were so small that they would be able to scatter Liu Rengui's ships even if they collided with them, let alone using giant crossbows. They were no match for him.
But at this moment, the two oncoming fleets suddenly moved to the left and right, which made Abdullah frown slightly and immediately ordered: "The left and right ships are chasing the enemy ships respectively, and the rear ships are preparing to meet the enemy. We must not let the enemy escape!"
In Abdullah's opinion, this must be because the enemy saw that they were powerful and was preparing to escape.
However, not long after he gave the order, there were loud noises from behind, and then he saw a huge fire burning in the rear of the fleet. The fire shot straight into the sky and dyed the sea surface red.
Abdullah hurriedly looked back, but due to the obstruction of the ship and the fact that they were turning around, he could not see clearly what was happening behind him.
"Hurry up and ask me what's going on, how did the fire start?" Abdullah roared anxiously.
