Looking at the boulder flying over, Li Bao immediately ordered: "Avoid it immediately" Although Li Bao ordered to evade, but because more than a dozen boulders, all smashed into a ship, even if no matter how to avoid, there were still one or two that successfully hit Li Bao's ship, one boulder directly smashed the mast, and the other was smashed into the rear deck, directly smashed out a big hole, but did not smash the ship through, otherwise the ship may have sunk into the sea, Li Bao is not a person who is beaten and does not fight back, the Song army immediately used catapults to counterattack.
However, the range of the Song army's catapult was limited, and the big stones could not hit the Xia army's warship at all, so they could only be poured with fierce fire, but the losses caused to the Xia army's warship were limited, and with the growth of wartime, the Xia army withdrew while fighting and leading the Song army's sailor warship to the reef, Zhou Hai stood on the deck and looked at the pursuing Song army's sailor warship and said: "Order the ships not to be too fast, don't let the Song army's sailor be lost." ” "Yes, General" On the other side, Li Bao looked at the Xia army and naval division that was fleeing eastward, the two armies had maintained a similar combat distance, Li Bao frowned and said: "The herald orders that all ships do not have to pursue, and immediately withdraw their troops back to the camp." ” "Yes, Boss" "The commander has an order, turn the bow of the ship immediately" "Turn the Bow of the Boat" "General, you're about to see the Song army turn the bow of the ship."
A Xia general said to Zhou Hai.
Zhou Hai said to General Xia: "I saw it, it seems that the Song Army Sailor is really difficult to deal with, so collect the troops and return to the camp."
"General, what about the task assigned by the prince" General Xia asked Zhou Hai.
"After I go back, report to the prince truthfully."
Zhou Hai said to General Xia: "Looking at the posture of the Song Army's sailors, it is impossible for us to lure them all out today. ” "General, should we try again?"
Xia Jiang asked Zhou Hai.
"No need, there are too many temptations, but it's easy to startle the snake, go back to the camp" Li Bao finally decided.
"Yes, General" Zhou Hai led the ship back to the camp of the Xia Army's naval division, and came to the Holy Dragon to report to Li Qingyu, the king of Yan: "Lord Yu, the last general is incompetent and did not lead the Song army's naval division to the predetermined battlefield. ” "Zhou Hai, get up and speak, what's going on" Yan King Li Qing asked Zhou Hai.
"Lord Yu" Zhou Hai told the story of the before and after.
Yanwang Li Qing said: "It seems that this Li Bao is really difficult to deal with, okay, you go down to rest first" "Yes, the last will retire" "Come, prepare a boat for this king, and this king will personally go to the camp."
Yan King Li Qing immediately ordered.
"Yes, Lord Wang" "Lord Wang, ten clippers will be ready soon."
A Xia general pulled down Li Qing in front of the report.
When Li Qing left the Holy Dragon and was about to go in person, he suddenly came to Li Qing in a hurry from Feng Frame, and Feng Frame asked Li Qing: "Lord Wang, where are you going?"
"General Feng, I'm about to lead the army to explore the camp, or you can go with this king."
Li Qing said to Feng Box.
When Feng Huan heard this, he said to Li Qing: "My prince, you are the prince, you are the commander of the whole army, you go to visit the camp in person, this is too child's play, no, no, the decision is not good, this general is resolutely opposed, this is really too dangerous, if you have some accidents, how can I explain to Your Majesty." ” "This king also uses you to explain to his father."
Li Qing said very unhappily: "General Feng is the so-called knowing himself and knowing that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles, but this king only knows himself now, but does not know the other; How do you let this king command his brothers to fight the Song army next, we have already missed an opportunity, and this king must not miss a second time. ” "Since the prince has made up his mind, he will accompany you."
Feng Frame said to Li Qing.
Li Qing immediately objected: "No, you and I are both the commanders of this whole army, if this king unfortunately dies, you have to command a real naval fleet to avenge this king."
"Lord Wang" "Don't talk nonsense, the military situation is urgent."
Li Qing finally said to Feng Frame; "The king is gone."
Li Qing personally led ten speedboats to the Song Army's sailor camp, looking at the heavily guarded Song Army's sailor camp, Li Qing sighed: "Li Bao is really good at leading the troops, you all open your eyes to see how other people's sailors arrange their troops, and learn a little." ” "Lord Wang, what should we do next, do we want to test the attack?"
A Xia military general asked.
Li Qing looked at the Song army's ship formation and said, "The herald ordered the fleet to line up and approach the Song army's ship formation. ” After Li Qing's military order was issued, the war drums of "dong, dong, dong" sounded, Li Qing led ten clippers to the Song army's naval division, and Li Bao heard the sound of war drums on the other side, Li Bao had already been reported on the situation of the attacking Xia army, and several Song army sailor generals were asking for battle in front of Li Bao Li Bao finally ordered: "Order all departments not to attack without authorization, and order the ships of the outer naval divisions, as long as the ships of the Xia army dare to approach, they can shoot random arrows." ” "Dashuai" "Our army has been adrift at sea for more than a month on a long-distance march, let the brothers rest for a few days, ignore the provocation of the Xia army for these days, and wait for our army to recover its combat strength before fighting a decisive battle."
Li Bao said to the generals.
"The commander is wise, and the general understands," the generals said in unison.
Li Qing led ten clippers to force the Song Army's sailor array, seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the Song Army's sailor array, a Xia general reminded Li Qing: "Lord, are we too close to the Song Army's Sailor Array, do you want to?"
"Don't talk nonsense, keep going."
Li Qing said to General Xia: "This king just wants to see how far the Song army's catapults and bows and crossbows can shoot. ” Although yesterday the Xia army and the Song army fought a battle, but for the Song army water division of the weapon parameters, Li Qing did not understand all clearly, this time Li Qing came to visit the camp mainly to see the specific situation of the Song army water division, the distance between the two armies is getting closer and closer, the Song army is ready to go, although the Xia army clipper has reached the Song army's strike range, but the Song army sailor generals did not order the attack, they are waiting for the Xia army ship to get closer, so that the blow is fatal.
Seeing that there was still a stone's throw away from the Song Army's naval division's array, Li Qing, the king of Yan, suddenly ordered: "Order all ships to stop moving forward and return to the cannon to prepare for a large fire." ” The so-called large-scale fierce fire irrigation, rather than a fierce fire oil barrel, the return cannon can throw up a large stone weighing 200 kilograms, and can naturally throw up a 200-kilogram fierce fire oil barrel, these fierce fire oil barrels are wooden barrels, the interior has undergone special treatment, under normal circumstances, there will be no oil leakage, all the fierce fire barrels are installed on a small fierce fire irrigation, when igniting only need to ignite the small fierce fire irrigation, when the wooden barrel collides, it is natural that the small fierce fire irrigation is broken first, The purpose of this is to prevent the wood from being too strong to break.
More than a dozen large wooden barrels rose into the air and flew towards the Song army, and at the same time, the Song army also began to use catapults to fire oil irrigation, stones, bed crossbows, arrows and other objects, the Song army's attack was much more fierce than the Xia army's, and there were many of them, but because the Xia army's ten sea ships were very scattered, it was not easy to kill with one blow
