Tian Di was shocked at first, and then furious!
That damned Mengchang Jun Tianwen was as afraid of the enemy as a tiger and did not dare to fight the Chu army.
It was clear that Xiong Wuliang was already a turtle in the urn, but Tian Wen was still losing his city and land!
If he hadn't led the Laizhou Navy here today... Xiong Wuliang would have escaped back to Chu State by boat!
Doesn't this make me mad?
The almost certain victory of annihilating the enemy was gone, the almost certain Xiong Wuliang's head went back, and the cooked duck flew away.
"You bastard! Mr. Mengchang, you deserve to die!" Tian Di yelled.
"Fortunately, my prince and the Laizhou Navy came to help in the battle, otherwise Xiong Wuliang would have run away!"
"Qi will become a laughing stock!"
The servants were also filled with righteous indignation: "Mr. Mengchang is passive and lazy in fighting. In the future, he will definitely inform the king and deal with it according to military law!"
"Fortunately, our prince has a clever plan. He anticipated Mi Liang's plot early and came with the Laizhou Navy to intercept it!"
"The prince has a wonderful plan! What a wonderful plan!"
Tian Di suddenly stamped his feet, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face again——
Mengchangjun was the first to eliminate Xiong Wuliang on land, and he just followed suit.
But if Xiong Wuliang is eliminated at sea, the victory will be all his own!
Xiong Wuliang, Xiong Wuliang, you are also unlucky.
He actually hit his head in the hands of this prince!
Today’s battle will let you know who is the son and who is the father!
Do you have the strength to compete with me, Da Qi?
Tian Di's ambition suddenly rose, and he turned to look at Ling Bao, who had been silent all this time: "Ling Bao, didn't you say that your naval maneuvering skills have no rival at sea?"
"The opportunity came today——"
"Destroy Chu's fleet! Capture Chu's Marquis Quyang alive! Avenge our Da Qi's repeated defeats!"
Ling Bao looked intently into the distance and made an estimate - Chu's fleet had about fifty ships.
And the Laizhou Navy under his command is huge, with more than 300 large and small ships!
Chu's ships look like they have low hulls and short archery towers.
And the main tower ship in his Laizhou Navy, the arrow tower is tall and powerful, twice as high as the enemy ship!
The Chu army was defeated and returned to the country.
The Laizhou Navy was eager to avenge their shame and pursued the victory!
Not to mention that the Laizhou Navy also has its own proud "iron rope" method of maneuvering the ship, which will definitely exert great combat power.
In a word -
The advantage is mine!
Ling Bao also became excited: "The last general will obey the prince's orders!"
"Laizhou Navy obeys orders—attack!"
Hundreds of Qi army warships accelerated like mackerels after seeing blood, and the iron cables connecting the ships instantly tightened and made a creaking cry. The entire Qi Army fleet moved forward like a huge offshore platform, with purple Qi Army battle flags raised high, and drummers began to beat the war drums rumble.
Tian Di did not follow Ling Bao's advice and hide in the cabin, but stood straight on the deck.
Today, he would watch with his own eyes the great enemy Xiong Wuliang sink into the sea!
As the prince of Qi, he will soon become a new famous general - capturing Mi Liang's Hou Qi as his glory and proof!
…
At this moment, Xiong Wuliang had just walked out of Zhong Hua's room and was in a bad mood.
g.
Zhong Hua lost four fingers on his right hand and was unable to wield a sword from then on.
For Xiong Wuliang, this feeling was like Li Yunlong's precious monk being deposed by the bandits of Heiyun Village.
He has arranged the best doctor for Zhong Hua, and the entire cabin is filled with the smell of steamed herbs...
Quyanghou Miliang pursed her lips coldly, murderous intent steaming in her heart——
Song Dynasty, Ziyan.
Such a stab in the back caused our Chu State to lose the seven hundred miles of fertile land south of Qi that we had in our pocket.
He even sent people to assassinate me!
That assassination was the closest to death in Xiong Wuliang's two lifetime experiences.
If I don’t avenge this revenge, I, Xiong Wuliang, swear not to be a human being.
When my army safely retreats to the fiefdom, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed!
"My lord, we have discovered Qi's fleet... suspected to be Qi's Laizhou Navy! They are chasing our army!" Shaohu hurriedly walked over and reported.
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand: "Don't worry about them."
Now Xiong Wuliang only wants to take revenge on Song State, but he has no intention of killing Qi State.
Moreover, the fifty boats are now filled with New Army soldiers - even if the water battle can be completely won, as long as one ship sinks, hundreds of New Army soldiers will die in the sea.
It's so tragic.
Xiong Wuliang didn't want to take this risk.
Half an hour later, when he could hear the Qi army's war drums still beating back and forth, Xiong Wu's conscience aroused and he walked out of the cabin.
Logically speaking, the Chu army's new 'Ping A boat' should be faster than the Qi army's old flat-bottomed boats.
But at this moment, these ships are full of soldiers and are heavily loaded. The speed is not much different from that of the Qi Navy fleet.
Xiong Wuliang put up an awning with his hands and looked in the direction of the Qi army fleet. He was startled for a moment, and then started to think...
The Qi army's sailing formation... is a bit weird.
Hundreds of boats are connected with iron ropes, with wooden planks in between...
It seems that I have heard of this kind of boat maneuvering technique somewhere before...
Xiong Wuliang instantly became murderous and waved his hand: "Send the order—Ping'a Navy, prepare for battle!"
I didn't want to fight anymore.
However, the opponent insists on giving away his head.
Zhao Hua immediately dissuaded him and said: "My lord, there are many enemy ships, several times larger than our army."
"The Ping'a Navy has not been established for a long time, and the sailors on the ship are far inferior to the Laizhou Navy in terms of actual combat experience..."
"There seems to be something wrong with hastily accepting the challenge."
Xiong Wuliang glanced at Zhao Hua and spoke concisely and concisely——
"No need for actual combat experience."
"Give me an order - prepare a number of small boats, carry fodder for horses and other flammable materials, and coat them with kerosene..."
"Choose men who are good at water and dare to die, hold torches, sit on the boat and wait for orders."
Zhao Hua's eyes lit up when he heard this! The eyes looking at Xiong Wuliang were full of admiration.
This is a fire attack strategy!
Cao Jun... Ah no, the Qi army's warships are all connected together. If one ship catches fire, it will surely affect the entire army.
The Lord just glanced at Qi Jun's fleet from a distance and immediately came up with such a wonderful plan to defeat the enemy. He was truly a genius.
Shaohu took the order and immediately led a group of sergeants to the cabin - there were piles of fodder, all used to feed the horses pulling the chariot.
There are also several barrels of kerosene - torches used at night need to be coated with kerosene to burn for a long time, so kerosene is also a necessary material for army expeditions.
Shaohu waved his hand, and the sergeants took out the small wooden boat used for escape, stuffed the boat with fodder, and poured a lot of kerosene into it randomly.
"The Lord wants to burn the entire fleet, but are there any soldiers who are willing to die?" Shaohu asked.
All the sergeants in the cabin raised their hands.
Shaohu randomly named a few people: "You guys, get ready."
Those who were called out were all happy - if they could come back alive, they would be richly rewarded; if they were unfortunately killed in battle, the orphans could study in the academy without taking the exam, and their families would also receive huge pensions.
And based on their understanding of their lord, Marquis Quyang, who loves his soldiers like a son, they will definitely do their best to avoid their casualties.
After preparing the fireship, Shaohu came to the deck again. Looking around, I saw that the surrounding Chu army ships were all waving their flags regularly, indicating that they were ready.
Shaohu turned to Xiong Wuliang and said, "The fire ship is ready!"
Xiong Wuliang nodded and ordered: "Send the order - the fleet slows down so that the Qi navy who are looking for death can catch up closer!"
