A large group of burning fire ships were like rockets, crashing into the Laizhou Navy's fleet with an unstoppable momentum!
The wind direction is also favorable to the Chu army.
In an instant, flames shot into the sky.
It's on fire!
"Get water quickly! Get water! Where is the bucket?"
"Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly!"
"It can't be saved, run away for your life! Abandon the ship... Unlock the chains!" The Qi soldiers were in chaos and ran around.
The warships of the Laizhou Navy were all made of wood, and the fireship prepared by Xiong Wuliang carried a lot of kerosene, which burned at an extremely high temperature. Almost as long as it touched the ships of the Qi army, it could quickly cause flames.
Some of the fireships were sunk, but dozens of fireships still hit the Qi army's fleet.
These fire ships quickly turned into fire, igniting the Qi Army's Laizhou Navy.
Soon, the flames soaring into the sky spread rapidly along the wooden planks laid on the iron cables, affecting more and more Qi army ships.
Ling Bao shouted loudly and gave orders repeatedly, trying to direct the soldiers of Qi to put out the fire.
But it was of no use - his order could not even be effectively transmitted ten meters away, because the entire Laizhou Navy had fallen into unprecedented chaos.
There were also navy soldiers of the Qi Army who spontaneously ran in the sea of fire and tried to put out the fire, but compared to this man-made fire, their efforts were too small.
boom!
The flames on a Qi army warship suddenly rose to a height of dozens of feet. The flames soared into the sky like a giant dragon, lifting the arrow tower on the ship.
The fierce flames instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the battlefield seemed to be quiet for a breath.
The Qi soldiers on the ship howled miserably, their whole bodies burning with flames. They ran while trying to take off their burning armor... and plopped into the sea one after another.
Ling Bao's face turned ashen——
This was the kerosene stored in the Qi army's warships as a backup, which was ignited.
The fire spread extremely fast, more and more ships were set alight, and the kerosene stored in many Qi army warships burned violently, producing an effect that could be called an 'explosion'.
The soldiers of Qi Army were panicked, and many soldiers gave up meaninglessly putting out the fire. Regardless of the obstruction, they jumped from the ship holding wooden boards or barrels.
thump!
thump!
It's as spectacular as dumplings.
The Qi military captains on the ship had livid faces, waving their daggers and slashing down the soldiers who were trying to escape: "Don't run! Put out the fire!"
"Anyone who dares to jump off the ship will be killed without mercy!"
However, this kind of obstruction had no effect. On the contrary, it made the soldiers jump from the ship without hesitation.
In the chaos, someone shouted: "The prince is dead, General Ling is dead! Everyone, run for your lives..."
…
Prince Qi Tiandi's face turned pale. Hearing the shouts on the ship and seeing the chaos in the Qi fleet, he huddled in the corner and trembled.
As a pampered nobleman, this was the first time he had seen such a tragic battle.
The fire filled the air and soon spread to the flagship of the Laizhou Navy.
The billowing black smoke made it difficult to open one's eyes, and the skin seemed to be roasting until oil... Even though he was deprived of oxygen, he did not dare to take a deep breath, otherwise he would feel his chest and abdomen being burned by the hot gas.
"Prince! Prince!" someone called.
Tian Di reluctantly opened his eyes, and was immediately burned by the thick smoke and shed tears - he could vaguely recognize that the person speaking seemed to be Ling Bao.
Ling Bao wiped the dirt off his face, struggled to pick up the field, tied it to a wooden plank, and threw it into the sea.
In front of the fierce fire, even if he is the prince of Da Qi, he is just an ordinary person.
Rather than being burned alive, it would be better to let the fields fall into the sea, and maybe there would be a glimmer of hope of survival.
At this moment, I can only resign myself to fate.
As for Ling Bao...he pulled out his sword and shouted sternly: "Attack the Chu army!"
"I, General Daqi, will never surrender!"
…
Gululu.
Tian Di swallowed a lot of salty sea water, and after sinking for about a foot or two, he felt that the wooden board on his body floated up with his body.
call!
Come to the surface!
The commotion on the battlefield suddenly became clear.
Tian Tian wiped the water on his face in embarrassment, and reluctantly opened his red eyes, but he felt that the sky was extremely dark - no, it was just after noon, how could it be so dark?
The fields raised their heads and changed color.
I saw a huge warship rushing towards me, its towering bow just above the field, blocking the blazing sun.
On the warship, there is a battle flag with the word Chu on a yellow background and red characters.
Tian Tian didn't have time to look further. He exclaimed, drew his sword, cut the rope that tied him to the board, and plunged into the water.
Boom!
Boom!
The Chu army's warships ruthlessly ran over Tian Tian's position just now.
The field floated again, and I was shocked. Looking around, the entire sea area was filled with strong fire and smoke. There were broken wooden boards on the sea surface, and there were densely packed corpses of Laizhou Navy soldiers.
The sea is already red!
The Chu soldiers each stood on the bow of their boat, standing in a row. They fired the crossbows in their hands and ruthlessly shot the Qi soldiers flopping on the water. It was as simple as shooting a target on the school field.
However, the Qi soldiers who fell into the water were unable to organize any effective counterattack.
call out! call out!
Arrows were like locusts, and the Qi soldiers rolling on the sea screamed, howled, and begged for mercy... but they soon turned into corpses, and the blood flowing out of the wounds dyed the entire sea area red.
The Chu army's warships easily rolled over the debris still burning with small flames on the sea, chasing the few Qi army's warships that were lucky enough to be freed from their chains.
The Ping'a navy's tactics for attacking these ships were primitive and simple -
Crash!
The Qi army's ships were all flat-bottomed boats, which were top-heavy and unstable at the bottom. Previously they were relatively stable when held together by chains, but now some of the ships were unchained... and were immediately bouncing dangerously up and down on the sea.
The Chu army's sharp-bottomed warships were able to maneuver with ease.
Use the bow of the Chu army's warship against the side of the Qi army's warship. Just a slight collision will cause the top-heavy Qi army's warship to capsize.
The captains of the Qi army who were still fighting to the death on the ship looked at the Chu army's warships in horror, with disbelief written all over their faces -
Why is the Chu people's ship so stable on the sea?
These Qi army ships that were lucky enough to be freed from their chains were all overtaken by Ping'a Navy and knocked over on the sea.
As for those Qi army warships that have never been able to untie their chains - there is no need to pay attention to them at all.
These Qi army ships that are still connected together will all become fuel.
…
Xiong Wuliang looked at the Qi soldiers struggling on the sea with a look of unbearable expression——
These are all young adults - wouldn't it be wonderful if they could take back the fiefdom and dig sand?
Construction is in full swing in our fiefdom, and there are as many coolies as there are!
However, the Chu army's warships were already filled with 10,000 new soldiers and 800 soldiers from the personal camp, and could not hold any more prisoners of Qi.
Grandma, what a pity!
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand: "Clean up the battlefield and salvage the soldiers of our army who accidentally fell into the water - especially the soldiers who drove the fire ship earlier. They will live and die and see their corpses."
The morale of the Chu army was high, and they shouted in unison: "I will obey the order of my lord!"
