Chapter 380
The enemy's Badu ship dealt with the Yiyong's Wuyan ship like a hammer smashing walnuts, but for the dragon ship it was equivalent to hitting the iron plate. They could not pose a threat to it at all. Zhao Bing commanded the Warrior to sank three enemy ships in succession, tore the enemy's front line, and opened a gap. Then he commanded other dragon ships to form an inverted "Ser" defense line.? Chen Renweng also commanded the ships to strip the enemy ships that were ramming the Yiyong from the chaotic battle group and fight with it. At the same time, guide the Yiyong ships to return to the shallow water area from the gap opened by His Majesty to avoid the collision of the enemy ships, and enter the water camp along the coastal waterway.
"Your Majesty, your crossbows are really amazing!" Liu Shiyong praised the good ship and the good weapons. At this time, in order to stabilize the escape passage for Yi Yong, the warship formed a loose line of defense relatively to attack the enemy ships who were trying to approach with the side cannons. The enemy tried to break through and kept firing bows and arrows to shoot against the Song army. But how could their bows and arrows be compared to the crossbows? They just heard a sound when they shot on the dragon boat. The several volleys of the crossbows made them suffer heavy casualties and kept retreating. The arrows shot fell into the water far away and could not even touch the edges.
"Of course, the crossbows we equipped on our ship can't stop a volley, even the giant whales in the sea. Only these little shrimps are not enough to cook!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.
"Haha, Your Majesty speaks very well, but it's a pity that he can't be a general under his command and advance his strength in front of the army!" Liu Shiyong smiled with a smile, but his smile was clearly bitter.
"Hey, General Liu is a mess. Is it a king's minister in the shore of the land? How could it be said that I didn't do my best for Your Majesty?" At this time, the ship was running smoothly, and Liu Fu became active and came over to speak.
"Oh, even though Governor Liu said that, but a certain family is just an idle person, so how can we do our best!" Liu Shiyong sighed.
"Your Majesty, look at General Liu asking you for an official position!" Liu Fu smiled at His Majesty.
"General Liu is rare, and I want to be an official, but unfortunately, I don't have the final say. It's better for you to recommend it to the 6th Prime Minister!" Zhao Bing also said with a wry smile.
"Shangshu Chen, Your Majesty has an order to recommend the virtuous and kind to the 6 ministers. Do you think there is a suitable position?" Liu Fu turned around and kicked the ball to Chen Zhongwei again, and put on the emperor's hat.
"This... In the past, the head of the court, Su Du and the civilian army were led by the civilian army. Now he has no time to take care of the front army in the palace. But after that, I am afraid that the civilian army will be dissatisfied with it. If General Liu does not despise the humble, we can recommend General Liu to commander." Chen Zhongwei pondered for a moment. He had already seen that Su Liuyi, who was leading the civilian army, not only did not send troops to rescue the camp, but also closed the gates to prevent entry. The civilian army was afraid that it would be no longer as dissatisfied. If it was not done well, it would be a mutiny. Now it was just a favor.
"Oh, there are nearly 100,000 civilian troops in the court. I will rely on General Liu to take care of him in the future!" The Minister of Rites seemed to be on the same level as the other five ministers, but in fact it was half a square higher than them, just like six ministers. Now with the two of them, the matter was halfway. Zhao Bing turned around and bowed to Liu Shiyong.
"Your Majesty, don't make fun of me. As long as you can work for Your Majesty, I will never refuse!" Liu Shiyong hurriedly returned the courtesy when he saw this.
"I can't afford it. What you want to thank for is the kindness of the two adults!" Zhao Bing pointed at them, Liu Fu and the others and said.
"Thank you, sirs!" Liu Shiyong turned around and thanked him again.
"Report to Your Majesty, Commander Chen's signal that they have cut off the contact between the two armies and requested an attack!" The lookout hand reported at this time.
"Accurate, it's time for us to close the net!" Zhao Bing saw that most of the volunteer fleet had entered the safe waters and ordered.
"Notify all ships to gather the formation and trap the enemy. Those who do not surrender will firmly sink!" Zhao Bing said.
Each ship was ordered to follow the Warrior to change its formation, form a moon formation and advance in unison, gradually shortening the distance between them to drive the enemy ship towards Qianwan. At this time, the enemy ships realized that they were not ordinary Song Dynasty naval forces, and they could not fight against them with their strength. Some wanted to use the advantage of their small and fast boats to pass through the gaps between them before the encirclement was closed. The poor Yuan army, who was trying to escape, did not know that the most powerful dragon ships were the corners of the bow, and the crossbows were densely covered on both sides. They had to undergo the baptism of more than twenty crossbows when they passed through the middle of each ship.
The Yuan army warship, who was unknown, rushed into the gap between the dragon boats desperately. Seeing that the enemy did not have time to close the formation, he thought he could escape in the end, but he did not expect that there was a heavy rain stone bullet and crossbow arrows hit him. Some people even shouted without having time to get off the ship like a colander that was smashed and sank into the seabed. There was not much water. Other enemy ships dared not break through again, so they could only retreat desperately to break through.
The Badu ship ran fast, which was compared with other ships. However, it was over when it encountered a dragon ship known for its maneuver power. After several more than ten Badu ships were sank for escape, the remaining dozen Badu ships were trapped in the net. They dived in the dark and had no intention of committing suicide. After hesitating for a moment, they put down their masts, abandoned their swords and guns at their feet, and knelt down to surrender! Zhao Bing ordered two ships to be left to monitor, and the other warships turned to reinforce Chen Renweng's troops, but the battle situation there was also coming to an end. Faced with such a large sea ship with a large size and thick skin, after several battles, they had summarized the response tactics and could fully exert the advantages of the dragon ship.
After the Yuan army was sunk during the battle, the four ships were injured, and the other ships did not dare to be arrogant anymore. They wanted to take the opportunity of the ebb and retreat along the sea current. However, they had turned from hunters to prey. Under the pursuit of the dragon boat, two ships rushed to the shallows and ran aground without knowing the shuiwen. They could only put the masts on the masts and raised flags to avoid the fate of being sunk. Three ships were hit by the dragon boats and sank. The remaining one and the other two were injured. When they saw that the waterway ahead had been intercepted by the Song army, the retreat was gone and there was no retreat!
After the battle, the brave men who escaped from danger returned to the sea to find their companions who fell into the water. The guards also dispatched more than a dozen medium-sized warships to assist, while the dragon boats cruised around the sea to prevent enemy attacks. For a moment, fishing fires on the sea surface fell into the sea like stars. The calm sea echoed with desolate calls to brothers and howlings, as well as the screams of the soldiers of the Yuan army who were hunted by the brave men.
"Your Majesty, I believe it!" Liu Shiyong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said.
"Oh, what do you believe?" Zhao Bing, staring at the sea, asked with a look turned around.
