Samudan was cautious by nature and used troops carefully. After receiving the order from Ali Hague to lead the two naval forces in Jinghu and north and south, he knew that things were not good. After a closer look, he found out that the warships that the general was preparing to attack Qiong were attacked by Qiongzhou naval forces before they left the port. They were all burned down and the naval forces suffered heavy casualties. In addition, the news that Liu Shen was defeated by Qiongzhou naval forces was secretly circulated.?       ??          w  ww.

It made Samudan realize that the Qiongzhou navy was good at using the tactics of raids and ambush, and he went from Jinghu south to Leizhou thousands of miles away. If he was discovered by the other party, he would definitely use the same trick again.

Therefore, Samudan did not concentrate the Jinghu naval army, but instead allowed the small groups of warships scattered in various water camps to move south in two routes. One could hide the intention before the war and avoid being discovered by enemy spies; the other was that even if the enemy learned the news, it would be difficult to achieve great results. Therefore, since receiving the order, the Jinghu naval army had only been assembled in Yulinzhou for more than a month. He only claimed to the army that it was ordered to clear out the Jiang bandits and pirates on the West Road of Guangnan. Now he would rest first, and wait until the rainy season passed before the battle, and continued to conceal the combat attempt.

Due to the failure of persuasion, Ali Hague ordered the navy to come to Leizhou immediately and prepare to carry out cross-sea combat. Samudan had no choice but to follow the order, but he still delayed the movement for two days in a stormy weather. Because he knew that the storm on the sea would be even heavier in such storms. Even if the Song army learned that he was going south, they could not send back the news. In this weather, the navy could not sail. So he seized the opportunity to brave the wind and rain and traveled hundreds of miles today and arrived at the estuary of the sea and entered Leizhou Bay.

Although the journey was smooth and less than fifty miles away from Leizhou, Samudan still dared not be careless because he had to pass through a narrow waterway at the western end of Donghaizhou on the seaway reaching Haikang Port, where there were many bays and reefs to hide soldiers. If the Song army set up an ambush here, it would be cut off and blocked in this narrow sea area. It would be impossible to advance and retreat, so he could only fight the enemy here. Considering that it was a crossing sea, the sea was windy and storm, and a large number of infantry and horse soldiers were required. Therefore, there were more than 300 naval troops led by Samudan, with more than 1,000 soldiers, and each ship could carry more than 500 soldiers. In addition, there were 100 large ships of 2,000 stones, and the rest were also warships of more than 500 stones.

This time, the Jinghu naval army was all elite, with a total of 20,000 naval troops accompanying him. It seems that there are many people and large ships, and the boating on the sea is also spectacular. But there are also hidden dangers, that is, there are many ships and few people. In addition to the shipboat sailors, there are only more than 100 soldiers on each large ship, but in fact the combat effectiveness is not strong. Therefore, Samudan has been trembling and afraid of encountering enemies on the sea.

"Ali, lead the front army first to see if there is an ambush from the enemy!" Samudan ordered.

"Yes, the governor!" Although Ali felt that the governor was too careful, he still followed the order and got off the ship and took another large ship to lead fifty warships to go first. The two armies were about five miles apart, one in front and one behind and entered the West Bay waters. As long as they passed here, Hikka would be in sight.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, there is no sign of Song army activity when the front army successfully passed through Xiwan!"

"Report to the head of the governor, there is nothing unusual about the troops stationed on Donghaizhou!"

"It is necessary to pass through the main road column, and there is no delay!" Samudan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the patrol camp on Xiwanzhou, the Mongolian military flag was still dancing, and he ordered.

With a command, the Jinghu naval army began to change formations with the sound of golden drums. Since many of the sailors had never sailed in the sea, they were not adapted to the sea conditions here, and they were inevitably a little confused. At this moment, a roar suddenly came. Samudan looked up and saw that he was seeing a ghost in the broad daylight. He saw countless meteors in the air dragging their red tail flames towards the fleet.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack..." At this time, the lookout whistle on the mast dick was shouting with all his might.

"Quick the situation quickly and let the troops pass quickly!" Samudan buzzed his head. The thing he was most worried about was that, but why did the front army and the soldiers on the island not show up in the enemy fleet? Are they all blind? Or did the Song army fall from the sky or emerge from the sea? But he was still safe and secure that the warships would be crowded with knots.

‘Boom, boom…’ At the time when Samudan made his first order, the ‘meteor’ in the sky fell into the middle of the fleet and exploded violently. The wood chips that were hit were mixed with flesh and blood. Those who were not hit were also poured into the water column stirred up by the explosion.

"The chief minister, a group of dragon-headed sea monsters appeared in the waterway between the West Bay and Longwan in the northeast, rushing towards our army, trying to cut off the rear route. A hundred warships in front were inserted between the central army and the front army to block the waterway. There were also Song soldiers on the island, and they were launching meteor cannons." The intelligent soldier Xun Chaming the situation and reported to Samudan.

"Line in line to meet the enemy, line to meet the enemy, and ask the front army to turn around and connect with the enemy, and attack the enemy and open the road!" Samudan immediately realized that he was trapped in three sides, and the coastline on the west side was either cliffs or rocky beaches that could not approach the port at all, so he could only form a formation to fight the enemy on the spot.

But Samudan forgot to give three orders in a short time. First, he changed the array and converted a single column to pass through this narrow sea channel. Then he immediately let the fleet pass quickly after being attacked. Now he has to form a formation to fight the enemy again. Now some warships have accepted the order of the first route and have already left the formation and moved forward to prepare for the formation, while some have accepted the second order and rushed forward regardless of the time to pass. Some have been mobdened, and they don’t know which order to listen to, so they simply stay on the spot to prepare for formation.

As a result, the entire fleet was in chaos. The front wanted to leave, the front army wanted to turn around, the middle went forward and the back were in the line, and the back simply stopped the ship and waited for the orders below. As soon as the battle started, the two sides were already in chaos before the formal battle was formal. But at this time, the second round of meteor showers also caused chaos, and it was even more violent and dense. More ships were hit. Although they would not sink immediately, they were really scary. They would blow up a piece of them. When they hit them, they would fall down and catch fire immediately when they encountered flammable things.
