In the early morning, the Yangtze River estuary, and the fog is filled.
The naval divisions of the Xia and Song armies were stationed very closely, the naval divisions of the Song army were stationed in the western part of Xisha Island, while the naval fleets of the Xia army were stationed in the eastern part of Dongsha Island.
Judging from the current situation in this battle, the Jiangnan Naval Division of the Great Song Dynasty has this great advantage in terms of strength and geographical advantages.
At the pier of Dongsha Island, a sailor general reported to Feng Quanyu: "General, all the sailor warships have been prepared. ” "The order is that the whole army will leave Hong Kong and march westward to fight to the death with the Song army."
Feng Quan clenched his fists and said.
Feng Frame knew that this was his only chance, according to Feng Frame's plan, the Xia Army Naval Division was ready to use the cover of the fog to secretly go around to the east of the Song Army's naval division's camp, and then self-immolated part of the warships rushed to the Song Army's warships to take advantage of the situation to attack Xisha Island and engage in a land battle with the Song Army.
Under the leadership of the flagship Jiang Long, nearly 350 warships left Dongsha Island and secretly headed westward, because the fog on the river was very low and the visibility was very low, so the sailors on the ships of the Xia Army's naval division could not see much at all, and the fleet was going upstream, the speed of the ships was very slow, and it was easy to get lost in the fog.
"General, look at the ship."
The lieutenant general pointed to the shadow of the sail emerging from the fog ahead.
Feng Frame immediately realized that it was not good, and immediately ordered: "Command the drum to meet the enemy" The war drums of "knock, knock, knock" sounded in the fog.
On the other side, on the flagship of the Jiangnan Naval Division of the Song Army, Li Bao also found the Xia Army Naval Division led by Feng Frame, Li Bao looked at the Xia Army Naval Division that was getting closer and closer, and said: "It seems that the commander of the Xia Army's Naval Division thought of going together with Ben Shuai, and also used this fog to carry out a sneak attack; Since there is no need to cover up now, the whole army is ordered to meet the enemy head-on. ” "But Marshal, now that the fog is thick, we can't see the formation of the Xia army at all, and we can't discern the location of the Xia army's warships, whether to wait for the fog to dissipate before attacking."
"No need, strike first, and attack with full saturation of the waters ahead" "Yes, the last will give the order" But Li Bao was still a step late, the Song army's military order had just been issued, and the rain of arrows, stones, fierce fire and crossbow arrows in the sky flew towards the warships of the Jiangnan Naval Division, and the sound of "bang, bang", "ah, ah" crash and the screams of the soldiers resounded in the Song army's ship formation.
When the rain of arrows arrived, dozens of shield players immediately protected Li Bao in the middle, and the sound of "bell, bell, bell" The sound of the rain of arrows colliding with the shield was clearly audible; Li Bao immediately ordered: "The crossbowmen counterattack" The density of the Song army's arrow rain is several times that of the Xia army, the Xia army has been at a disadvantage in terms of firepower, due to the fog, neither the Song army nor the Xia army dared to attack rashly, but the fog did not last too long, after the sun came out, the fog slowly dispersed, and the visibility gradually became farther away, both sides were able to observe each other, and the two sides were no longer attacking aimlessly, but attacking with the cooperation of tactics.
After observing the formation of the Xia army, the corners of Li Bao's mouth rose to reveal a hint of smugness, and ordered: "Order the fireboat to attack." ” "Flag signal, assault ship attack" "General, look, the Song army suddenly has nearly sixty small ships breaking away from the Song army's ship formation and attacking us."
The adjutant general said to Feng Box.
Feng Huan stared at the Song military ships that were attacking him, and said very puzzled: "What is the Song army going to do, is it trying to carry out a suicide attack, there must be some conspiracy in this?"
"General, what shall we do" "Attack the Song army raiding ship with all your might."
"Obedience" The focus of the Xia army's attack began to turn to the Song army's assault ship, and the assault ship was constantly hit, one of which hit a thunderbolt that was sailing fast, only to hear a "bang", the entire assault ship suddenly burst, and ignited a raging fire, Feng Frame, who saw this scene, was stunned on the spot.
Feng Frame finally understood why the Song army let these small boats attack first, Feng Frame shouted loudly: "Fast ships and ships split and distance, we must not let these Song small boats collide, the Song army wants to attack" The crazy judgment is not wrong, the Song army did want to attack with fire, but it was not to crash into the Xia warship, the speed of the Song army's fireboat was very fast, and it quickly rushed to the front of the Xia army's ship formation, but the Song army's fireboat did not hit the Xia army's warship, at a distance from the Xia army's warship, the Song army's fireboat suddenly stretched out a lot of thick long bamboo poles, the Song army lit the flame and spewed out a large amount of fierce fire oil from the bamboo pole, and a fire dragon burned directly to the Xia army's warship.
Nearly sixty assault ships, enough to form a wide attack surface, all the Xia army warships that were hit by the Song army's assault ships were on fire, Feng Frame looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned, Feng Frame knew very well that if this battle went on like this, the Xia Army's sailors would lose, and now the Xia Army was not just a matter of defeat, but whether it could escape from the Song Army's fire dragon array; Although the Xia army's assault ships are all small boats, small boats also have advantages over large ships, that is, they are fast and flexible, which means that as long as Li Bao is willing, it will not be a problem to leave the Xia army's sailors at a certain price.
"General, what should we do now, our ships will soon be burned to the ground by the Song army's fire array."
Feng Huan closed his eyes and said, "I can only find a way to sink the fireship of the Song army, even if it is directly sunk." ” "The Last Will Understand" Soon dozens of warships of the Xia army broke away from the formation and collided with the Song army's fireboat, the Xia army was completely in a desperate position, although the fireboat also intended to dodge, but the distance between the two sides was too close, there was no time to turn "bang, bang, bang" The sound of impact sounded on the river, followed by the explosion of "boom, boom, boom", the explosion of the crashed fireboat, the fierce fire oil loaded in the ship was sprinkled on the river, and the fire burned on the entire river.
The fire blocked the offensive route of the Song army's follow-up ships, and at the same time posed a serious threat to the Xia army's naval division, once it was engulfed by the fire, the entire Xia army's naval division would be completely finished, and because the fire actually flowed with the river on the water.
Looking at the fire rushing towards him, Feng Frame immediately ordered: "Order the fleet to turn around and evacuate" On the other side, Li Bao, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, said: "Marshal, now that the fire has ignited and blocked the offensive line of our army, what should I do next?"
Li Bao pondered for a moment and asked, "How much fierce fire oil do we have?"
"Yu Da Song, we still have more than 100 assault ships, all of which are filled with fierce fire oil."
"Okay, order them to scatter the fire oil and pour it into the river, and then light it" "What does the big handsome mean?"
"Ben Shuai wants to use a fire to turn all the Xia Jun into roast suckling pigs."
Li Bao sneered: "Order the fleet to follow the fire ten miles away, sweeping the remnants of the Xia army along the way." ” "The handsome and wise, the last general will do it."
Because the fire was too great, the Xia ships could only turn around and flee at full speed; The adjutant general said to Feng Box: "General, we still have thousands of brothers on Dongsha Island, do you want to go with them?"
