Portable Space Can be Summoned

The two army commanders Zhao Long and Liu Jiwu all got on the boat and arrived at Dongting Lake.

The difference is that Zhao Long's flagship is at the rear of the Qianjun fleet, while Liu Jiwu's flagship is at the front of the Shunjun fleet.

When Shunjun heard that Qianjun was launching a large-scale attack, it was not as usual, and they were a little panicked.

Has Ganjun found a way to win?

Otherwise, how could they launch an attack in the strong wind!

The ominous premonition in Liu Jiwu's heart became stronger and stronger.

He has a deeper understanding of the military than ordinary soldiers, and they will never change their tactics without reason.

Unless they are ready.

"We must fight with all our strength. As long as we hold on until tomorrow, it is impossible for the Gan army to attack the shore."

Liu Jiwu didn't know what tactics Qian Jun would choose, but they didn't have a strong navy army.

As long as this premise remains unchanged, Ganjun's attack can only be sudden. If he defends today, he will still have the advantage tomorrow!

Liu Jiwu's ship was at the forefront, just to give courage to the soldiers of the Shun army.

The commander is with you, kill all those rebels!

On the other side, Ganjun's fleet was very large, three times as large as Shunjun's fleet.

However, the vast majority of the Ganjun fleet are small boats.

There are nearly 200 small boats ranging from ten to seven or eight meters.

These boats all rushed to the front, with only one or two soldiers on board, or even no one at all, relying entirely on the boats in front to lead them.

Although there are not many people on the small boats, they have a deep draft and will not be overturned by wind and waves.

The ship is filled with gunpowder, kerosene, firewood and other kindling materials, and of course the most important fuse. Without it, it would be very dangerous for soldiers to join the army.

Zhao Long had no intention of stealing the limelight. He didn't even want to see the first fire ship igniting, so he sat on the last flagship of the fleet and waited for the battle report ahead.

"Commander, we found Shunjun's fleet."

"how many?"

"A hundred ships are on board, which should be all the ships in Shunjun."

Zhao Long nodded when he heard this. Even if there were some reserve ships on the south bank, there wouldn't be too many.

"Let Zhao Jiang be ready and light the fire when he gets within one mile of Shunjun. Don't get too close."

"yes."

The wind is strong today. One mile is already very close. Any closer would be in danger to the soldiers who set fire.

Zhao Long didn't want to use the lives of his soldiers to attack the Shun Army. That wouldn't be a suicide attack. He didn't bother to do that kind of thing.

When Zhao Jiang received the order, the fleet was less than two miles away from Shunjun. The wind was too strong and it was really difficult to slow down.

If the messengers had been slower, they would have rushed into the Shunjun fleet.

"Go and tell the commander that I understand. Let the ships behind you slow down and don't rush out with the fire ships."

This must be notified. The strong wind blew the fire ship to accelerate toward Shunjun, and it could also blow other ships to rush past.

When the time comes when the enemy burns his own people, it will be a joke.

Zhao Jiang's reminder was quite timely. Soon, the Ganjun fleet was divided into two parts, the front and rear. More than a hundred small boats broke away from the Ganjun fleet and rushed towards Shunjun.

Liu Jiwu, who was standing on the flagship, also saw the changes in the formation of Qianjun's fleet. Although he was not sure what Qianjun wanted to do, he thought it was best to avoid these small boats.

"Get out of the way of the boats!"

Liu Jiwu ordered.

He still trusted his instincts.

Liu Jiwu's order was quickly passed down, but it was not certain whether Shun Jun could avoid it.

Gu Cuan\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;The wind is too strong!

Liu Jiwu's order arrived

"Fire attack! Those boats must be full of fuel!"

"Get out of those boats! Quick!"

"Hurry up and make the boats behind move faster, those boats are coming soon!"

The response of the Shunjun fleet was already very fast, at least they were not connected by iron cables.

As long as they could turn the boat around, the north wind would help them escape the lake.

But Ganjun's boat was less than a mile away from them, and flames began to ignite from each boat, rushing towards the Shunjun fleet like rockets.

Zhao Long's order was to light a fire one mile away from Shunjun, but Zhao Jiang shortened the distance to 300 meters and lit a fire!

There is an advantage to lighting a fire at this distance. The fire takes advantage of the wind. When the fire ship rushes into the Shunjun fleet, the fire will be at its strongest.

In fact, it would be better to be closer, but the danger would increase exponentially, and Shunjun would not just watch the fire ship approach.

Liu Jiwu saw more than a hundred small boats burning with fire rushing towards them, and he knew that the Shun army would not be able to escape intact.

He decisively ordered, "Leave the ships at the front behind and shoot them through with crossbows!"

It is impossible to extinguish the fire on the boat. The only way to destroy the burning boat is to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron and drain the boat!

The crossbow is so powerful that as long as it is shot accurately, a crossbow arrow can sink a small boat. If it hits the center, it can directly break the small boat.

It's just that there are too few bed crossbows in the Shun Army. Even if all the bed crossbows in the fleet are included, there are only more than a hundred. The cost of this thing is not low. There were not many bed crossbows in Nanhu County in the past. Jiwu brought him here when he took office.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing to protect Nanhu County is to protect Dongting Lake. I need a lot of boats and crossbows."

This was Liu Jiwu's request to King Shun before he took office.

The weak King Shun was half lying on the bed. He didn't feel any anger when he heard these requests. He knew that Liu Jiwu was definitely not negotiating terms with him. A clever woman can't make a meal without rice. He wanted Liu Jiwu to guard Nanhu County. He said two things. It is a necessary condition and cannot be omitted!

King Shun agreed to Liu Jiwu's request, and Nanhu County had so many more ships and crossbows.

I just don’t know how much will be left after today.

Liu Jiwu's order was timely, and it quickly spread to more than a dozen Shunguo warships around. They were all large ships, and the shortest ones were twenty meters long.

But the ships farther away had already begun to turn around at this time, and it was too late to turn back.

In the end, only a dozen warships and more than forty crossbows intercepted the fire ship.

The results were considerable, but still too little for more than a hundred fireships.

More than a hundred fire ships joined together as if they were setting Dongting Lake on fire. The Shunjun warships that had no time to turn around and penetrate were quickly overtaken and swallowed up!

"Commander, let's go across the store. It's still too late to leave in a boat. The fire ship will come and rescue you later, but we won't be able to escape!"

The fire will definitely disturb the wind direction, and the ship will not be able to escape the fire.

Liu Jiwu really didn't want to flee hastily, but he didn't want to die in a sea of ​​fire even more. Nanhu County could still defend it if the ship was gone, but if he was gone, Nanhu County would basically be gone.

Liu Jiwu took a few confidants and guards and left the battleship in a small boat behind the ship. Since there was no need to waste time in turning around, the small boat left the fleet before the fire ship caught up.

The fireships filled with fuel rushed into the Shunjun fleet and set fire to nearly a hundred Shunguo warships.

Less than one-third of the Shunjun warships escaped the flames.

After all, a burning ship cannot burn indefinitely. Once it is burned out, it will sink.

Just because Shunjun escaped from the fire doesn't mean they are safe.

A greater danger is approaching!

Qianjun bypassed the sea of ​​fire and surrounded the remaining Shunjun.

Can they still run?
