In the early morning of the next day, after everything was prepared, the expeditionary fleet of the Great Xia Empire sailors set off from the port of Naha, 18,000 sea ships covered the sky and the sun, and there was no edge in sight, this was the first such large-scale maritime expedition in human history, and the Song merchant ships encountered by the Xia Navy Expeditionary Fleet were either sunk or captured, and from this moment on, the sea trade routes between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Regions were blocked.
In the camp of the Jiangnan Navy Division of the Great Song Dynasty in Jiangyin, Li Bao, who was the commander of the Great Song Navy Division, had already received the movement of the Xia Army's naval division, and Miao Jiang, who was following Li Bao's side, said to Li Bao: "General, according to the information obtained today, the Xia Army's naval division has attacked our merchant ships, and it seems that they should be preparing to attack." ” Miao Jiang since the defeat of the last Changguo, fled to the shore in a hurry, although Miao Jiang is guilty, but in the past exploits, he has not been punished too heavily, but now Miao Jiang wants to lead an army alone, so he became Li Bao's deputy, assisting Li Bao to manage the entire Jiangnan Naval Division, the most elite naval fleet in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Have you found the lair of the Xia Junshui Master?"
asked Li Bao to Miao Jiang.
Miao Jiang replied stubbornly: "General Yu, according to the information we have received, the hiding place of the Xia Junshui is in Naha Port. ” "Then where is this Naha Port?"
asked Li Bao.
"General, in the open sea."
Miao Jiang continued.
"Where in the open sea," Li Bao asked, looking at Miao Jiang.
"It's not clear yet."
Miao Jiang said stiffly.
"A bunch of waste, the open sea is so big, you let Lao Tzu go there to find it."
Li Bao said angrily; "General Ben will give you half a month to find me the location of this Naha Port, otherwise you, the deputy commander, will not be the commander."
"Yes, the last general commands" Miao Jiang took the military order head-on.
After Miao Jiang walked out of the big tent, he scolded angrily: "Bastard, give this kind of drudgery to Lao Tzu, Naha Port has been looking for so long and has not found it, now let Lao Tzu find it in half a month, isn't it embarrassing Lao Tzu" After Miao Jiang returned to his big tent, he said to the guards beside him: "Go to the Huotou Army and get some wine and food for Lao Tzu." ” "General, Li Shuai has a military order, and no one is allowed to drink alcohol in the camp."
The guard kindly reminded Miao Jiang and said; "Now that Li Shuai is in full swing, let's not touch the mold."
"His grandmother's, even drinking."
Miao Jiang scolded: "Let's take my brothers to Jiangyin City with me, let's have a good drink." ” "General, it's not good to leave your post without permission," the guard said again.
"There's something bad, something happened to Lao Tzu."
Miao Jiang said to the guard.
Under the leadership of Miao Jiang, dozens of cronies and generals under Miao Jiang left the Jiangnan camp; Miao Jiang ran out secretly, and Li Bao naturally didn't know; After Miao Jiang left Li Bao's Chinese army tent, Li Bao wrote a secret letter and handed it to his personal guards, saying: "Send this letter to the Fuzhou camp as soon as possible and hand it over to General Wang Zongze, let him be vigilant and be careful of the Xia army's recent attack on the camp." ” "Yes, I will be ordered," the officer immediately took the order.
After the officer went out, Li Bao looked at the map of the entire Great Song Sea area, on which the route from the Great Song Dynasty to the Western Regions was drawn very clearly, and the islands in various places were clearly marked; Now the crux of the problem is that Li Bao does not know where Naha Port is, and he basically knows nothing about the actions of the Xia army, so strategically Li Bao and the Great Song Naval Division are in a very passive situation, but fortunately, the Great Song Naval Division is better than the ships, and in desperation, Li Bao can only order all localities to strengthen their vigilance and carefully guard against the attack of the Xia army.
For seven days, there was no movement in the Xia Army's naval division, and the Song Army's warships had been drifting at sea, and they didn't even see the shadow of the Xia Army's naval division; The first fleet headed for Fuzhou under the leadership of Feng Huan, while the second and third fleets and landing forces came from the open sea to Ryukyu Island under the leadership of Li Ke, the king of Qi.
On the top deck of the Imperial battleship, Li Ke, the king of Qi, sent someone to find Zhou Yang and Zhou Hai, and Li Ke said to the two: "According to our predetermined plan, now General Feng Frame should have led the main force of the naval division to the sea off Fujian, and the Song military naval division should have discovered them, and it will be up to the two of you next." ” "Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will do his best."
Zhou Yang and Zhou Hai saluted Li Ke and said.
"Yes, this king believes in you."
Li Ke said to the two: "Then we will divide the troops here, and the two of you will lead the troops to speed up, and this king will lead the landing force in a circle and march towards Ryukyu Island." ” "Yes, the last general commanded," the two Li Ke commanded.
After Li Ke's military order was issued, Zhou Yang and Zhou Hai respectively led the Second and Third Fleets to break away from the landing fleet and go to their respective targets.
In order to attract the main force of the Fujian Navy Division of the Song Army, Feng Box led the Navy Division to directly cut off all the sea lanes of the Great Song Dynasty.
Fuzhou, Fuzhou Naval Division.
A general hurriedly ran into the big tent of the Chinese army and reported to Wang Zongzeyu: "Report, report, report to the marshal, the ship report found that the main fleet of the Xia Army's naval division has thousands of warships. ” "What" Wang Zongze said in shock: "It seems that the general's judgment is completely correct, the Xia army really wants to besiege my Fuzhou Naval Division; The herald ordered all warships to go to sea at once to prepare for battle; In addition, he ordered the chicken coop water division to attack the Xia army's naval division warship from behind, and sent someone to inform the general, so that the general could send someone to completely block the Xia army's sailor north's escape route. ” "Yes, the last general will take the order" The general immediately took the order and rushed away; A large-scale naval battle is about to begin.
Off the coast of Fujian, the main force of the Xia Army's naval division.
On the flagship of the Sea Dragon, a general reported to Feng Quanyu: "General Yu, our army has reached the periphery of the Fujian Naval Division of the Song Army, and they have discovered us. ” "Order the sailors to continue sailing to the southeast, and order the reserve fleet to pay attention to the movements in the rear, and beware of the Song army's chicken coop sailors."
Feng Frame gave the military order very calmly.
"Yes, the last general will give the order" The adjutant general immediately took the order and left.
After the vice admiral left, Feng Frame came to the top deck of the Sea Dragon, looked at the entire naval fleet with a telescope, and knew more about the importance of this operation than anyone else, to say that Feng Frame was not nervous It would be false, but for this operation, the Great Xia Imperial Naval Division had already made full preparations.
Looking at all the warships, Feng Frame ordered: "Order all departments to prepare to meet the enemy according to the predetermined plan." ” "Yes, the last general commands" Thanks to the support of book friends, the first update is presented:
