Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

The Donghai Navy arrived at Xiaoyao Island.

As one of the three naval divisions of Dali, the Donghai Division has 120 warships, 600 transport ships and more than 1 patrol ships, with more than [-] soldiers and more than [-] civilians.

Changyang Bolu educated youth is the commander-in-chief of the Donghai Navy.

At this moment, Zhiqing Lu was standing on the observation deck of a large ship, looking at Xiaoyao Island in the south.

As the commander-in-chief of the Dali East Sea Navy, Lu Zhiqing is actually a bit depressed. The children of his Changyang uncle's mansion have always served in the navy, and all generations of Changyang uncles have been military officers in the navy.

And now Lu Zhiqing is also the commander-in-chief of the East China Sea Navy, but the problem is that Dali has never pursued overseas much, and the main tasks of the two ocean navy divisions are only cruising and deterrence, and they rarely participate in battles.

Therefore, Lu Zhiqing was somewhat depressed, and always felt that he had no chance to display his martial arts.

But now Lu Zhiqing is full of excitement, because his opportunity has come.

Your Majesty is going to attack Xiaoyao Island and Qingfeng Island, and their East China Sea Division is the main force doing their part.

When he saw the phantom of Xiaoyao Island from afar, his whole body trembled with excitement.

"Hahaha, it's finally here!"

"Brothers get ready to fight!"

He shouted excitedly, then jumped off the watchtower and landed on the deck.

And following his shout, the soldiers on the deck also became excited.

Fighting seems to be a very distant thing for them. All along, they can only fight pirates in the sea, but those pirates are too weak, making them feel nothing at all.

Now they are going to attack Xiaoyao Island. This is a great battle, a battle that is rare in a century!

How this makes them not excited!

Didn't you see Lu Zhiqing was so excited that he was about to cry?

As warriors, they desire to fight, and as soldiers, they desire war.

They're not war freaks, they're just holding it in for too long.

Landing on the deck, Lu Zhiqing hurriedly came to Ye Gucheng and Huang Yaoshi, looked at them expectantly, and said, "Masters, we have arrived at Xiaoyao Island, should we attack next?"

Ye Gucheng glanced at him calmly, and said: "How you fight is your business, we are only responsible for dealing with the enemy's innate warriors!"

"Really!" Lu Zhiqing's eyes lit up.

"Ok!"

Ye Gucheng nodded concisely.

"Great!"

Lu Zhiqing couldn't help but said excitedly: "You two wait a moment, the general will go to arrange the battle first."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly ran into the ship building.

Chapter 239 Naval Battle, Massacre

The crossbow is the only long-range weapon on the warship. There is no artillery in this world, and naval battles are mostly archery and gang battles.

If two fleets meet at sea, the two sides first shorten the distance and shoot long distances with crossbows. After the two ships approach, they will engage in a gang battle.

Most of the soldiers on board are warriors. Although they are only the lowest rank warriors, they can jump a distance of more than ten meters as long as they are tied with a rope.

Therefore, the gang battle does not require a springboard, as long as the triangular hook and the rope are thrown over and pulled, the two sides can fight the gang.

This way of fighting looks rough, but in fact there are still many skills to speak of, such as taking advantage of the wind direction, and whoever can take the upper hand will have the initiative.

At this time, the East China Sea Division had the upper hand. Although the sea breeze from the north was weak, it also brought a lot of power to the ship.

Just after Lu Zhiqing ran into the cabin, the messengers above the ship tower immediately got busy, and the dull horn sounded, and the melodious sound floated on the sea.

As the horn on the ship sounded, the horns of other ships around also responded.

For a moment, the peaceful sea was filled with humming sounds.

Under the sound of the melodious horn, the fleet that was originally traveling in a straight line changed its formation instantly, with warships in front, transport ships behind, and patrol ships interspersed in the middle.

Standing on the ship tower, Lu Zhiqing looked towards the direction of Xiaoyao Island, and saw the black spots sailing out of Xiaoyao Island in the distance, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Haha, these idiots dare to go to sea to fight!"

Xiaoyao Island naturally has sailors. Although the number of ships is not as large as that of Donghai Navy, their strength is not weak. After all, they are soldiers living on the sea.

But the problem is that at this time, the East China Sea Division has taken the wind, and the opponent still has to go to sea to fight, which is a bit unwise.

The wind direction is the greatest convenience in naval battles, and whoever occupies the wind direction will have the upper hand.

"General, they are here!" A general next to him reminded.

Lu Zhiqing grinned and said, "Start fighting!"

"Here!"

The general responded, and immediately ran up to the observation deck above.

The dull sound of the horn sounded again, this time the sound of the horn was particularly urgent.

With the sound of the horn, the warships in the front responded immediately.

The soldiers on the deck got busy, putting small boats into the sea one after another. The boats were full of hay and firewood. Cans of grease were sprinkled on the boats. The soldiers stood on the side of the boats, holding torches, waiting for orders.

dong dong dong~~

The roar of war drums sounded.

"ignition!"

"Cut the cable!"

"quick!"

The general on the deck ordered loudly.

The next moment, under the propulsion of the wind, the small boats ignited raging fire and flew forward like rockets.

At a glance, the East China Sea Division actually launched thousands of small boats at one time, and the fierce flames turned the entire sea into a fiery red, turning the sea into a sea of ​​flames.

woohoo~~~

The flames rose and rushed towards the fleet of Xiaoyao Island.

Fire attack should be the most practical method in naval battles. After all, ships are made of wood. As long as the flames are big enough, ships can be burned.

Each warship of the Donghai Navy will be equipped with ten such crude boats. This kind of boat is easy to manufacture and low in cost. It can even be made with some old wooden boards, and a simple wooden sail can be made on it.

It doesn't matter how far they can run, as long as they can run a few hundred meters is enough.

Thousands of ignited boats drifted by mightily, and many boats sank after running a distance of [-] meters. The soldiers on board were not surprised by this. This thing is like this, sometimes a little bigger waves can knock it over.

However, most of the boats still ran hundreds of meters, but only a small part hit the opponent's boat, and most of them floated through the gaps between the boats.

It seems that this trick seems a bit tasteless, but in fact the results achieved are not bad.

But in a short while, more than a dozen enemy ships were set on fire. The key is that when the opponent was avoiding the boat, their own formation was disrupted!

Without Lu Zhiqing's order, the dull sound of the horn sounded again in the sky over the Donghai Division.

The humming sound enveloped the sky and the sea with a chilling aura.

next moment.

The battlefields are full of sails, and they rush forward.

"put!"

A roar sounded on the deck, and crossbow arrows shot out of the air one by one.

There was no overwhelming rain of arrows, because the space between the sky and the sea was too wide, even if thousands of arrows fired all at once, it would not be able to form a dense rain of arrows.

But the sharp piercing sound brought by the thick and long crossbow arrows made people feel chilling.

Dali's crossbow is still very powerful, much stronger than the surrounding royal courts, while Xiaoyao Island and Qingfeng Island are just islands, and their manufacturing capabilities are far inferior to Dali's.

In terms of crossbow range, rate of fire, and accuracy, the Donghai Navy can crush the navy of Xiaoyao Island and Qingfeng Island.

From the beginning of this naval battle, the East China Sea Division was crushing the opponent.

Seeing that the warships on both sides were getting closer, Lu Zhiqing could see the soldiers on the other side's deck, but for some reason, Lu Zhiqing suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.

"not good!"

"Stop attacking!"

"Stop attacking!"

He jumped up suddenly and shouted loudly.

The surrounding generals were taken aback for a moment, but then someone ran up to the watchtower.

Ding Ding Ding! !

The ringing sound of gold replaced the roar of war drums.

But it was too late.

The warship rushing to the front has already made contact with the opponent.

The warships of the two sides were intertwined. Although the number of the opponent's warships was relatively small, many warships were still entangled.

At this moment, clusters of flames erupted from the opponent's warship.

Seeing this, Lu Zhiqing couldn't help shouting angrily: "Damn, these guys actually want to die with us!"

Just now he wondered why the other party went out to sea so recklessly to fight.

Now it seems that the other party obviously wants to die with them.

Once they all rush up, it will burn the whole army.

When the gang battle unfolds, the ships will break down. At that time, the two sides will be entangled, and the ships will not be able to turn or move forward. In the end, they will only be submerged in the sea of ​​fire.

Lu Zhiqing wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, "It's okay, it's okay, this general has reacted in advance!"

He really didn't expect the opponent to be so ruthless, with hundreds of warships as bait.

This trick is really too ruthless.

But he had to admire the other party's decision.

"How many warships we have rushed in!"

Lu Zhiqing asked.

"Here, there are hundreds of ships!" The general next to him replied.

"Depend on!"

Lu Zhiqing couldn't help but swear.

Although this battle is not over yet, the result is already doomed.

All warships rushing past will definitely not be able to return. As for the soldiers on board, it can only depend on their luck.

If they ran faster, they might be able to swim back, or they could swim to the island, but getting on the island would probably be a dead end.

This tactic of killing eight hundred enemies and harming one thousand is really disgusting.

Zhiqing Lu looked at the sea of ​​flames ahead.

As time went by, more and more warships were ignited, and their warships were caught in it, unable to return at all, but the soldiers of the Great Glass Water Division were not cowardly.

Many generals of warships headed straight for Xiaoyao Island when they realized that they could not return.

Only the burnt parts are left, and there is still a chance to fight and maybe have a chance to rush to Xiaoyao Island.

Even if they can't survive, they can fight to death, which is better than waiting here to be burned to death.

Seeing this situation, Lu Zhiqing's face became extremely gloomy. Those were all his soldiers, his warships!

"Go around and log in!"

He said bitterly.

Since this war has already begun, it is impossible to cease the war.

Now he can't care about other things anymore, his only advantage now is that he still has close to [-] warships in his hands, and he can continue to fight.
