Chapter seven hundred and eighty second naval prestige

On this side, Zhu Zhi rushed into the turbulent oil formation under Xu Shu's subordinates and had to make a helpless choice between burying himself in the sea of ​​fire and living a life of silence. Fortunately, it is not a national war, a civil war, and the interests between the nobles are far from the point of life and death. Therefore, Zhu Zhi chose to surrender very poorly, while Gu Yong agreed that this kind of battle can win or lose, and there is no need to fight to the death.

However, both of them had to accept the strong combat ability and deceitful combat strategies of the Xiaoyedao defenders. In the seemingly weak situation, they used the violent blows at the entrance of the port to paralyze Zhu Zhi's thoughts, and then set up a tiny oil plan on the port terminal, and fully calculated the wind direction, Zhu Zhi's mental changes and other factors. Zhu Zhi and Gu Yong had nothing to say if they could be defeated by such people.

As for who his opponent is, he may soon see Zhu Zhi, who was soaked half of his body, and Gu Yong, who was still a little ignorant of fireworks on his face, were busy tidying up his appearance, even if he was a prisoner, he still had dignity!

On the other side, Lu Jun, who was leading a huge fleet in high spirits, was chasing Zhou Tai, who was only one-quarter of his ship. Although Zhou Tai seemed to be blocked by the encirclement and blocked, from the flags of the ships that were lit into torches on the sea, it seemed that Lu Jun's ships were lit.

"The right rudder ten, the main sail is half sail, the back sail is full, pay attention to the side swing of the ship."

"The trenchers are ready for volleys!"

"The giant crossbow fire arrow ignites!"

"Take the trencher, put it!!"

"Giant crossbow, release it!"

"The main sail is full of sails, the left rudder is full of rudder! Pay attention to swaying!"

Zhou Tai was not satisfied with the fact that only the stern trench could exert his power. He used the wind direction to make a sudden turn, then swung the entire army sideways, used the side to carry out a full firepower strike, and then twisted his butt and continued to run. He was bullying Lu Jun with his own speed.

At the beginning, Lu Jun had not noticed this, and he was still in high spirits to command the fleet to intercept Zhou Tai's fleet, but as the battle extended, Zhou Tai's fleet could always slip away in the encirclement at the right time, and then leave some lit torches on the sea.

Lu Jun finally understood that the enemy's strange ships and sails seemed to be much faster than their own big ships, not to mention small boats, on the sea surface. The bigger the ship, the faster the speed. The larger the ship, the bigger the sails. On the contrary, the boats can use larger sails. On the contrary, the boats are more accelerated by paddling, which is OK in a short time. They will be abandoned after a long time.

Now Zhou Tai is using his speed to pull Lu Jun to run. When Lu Jun's fleet caused an increasingly large speed gap due to the inconsistent shape and training level of the ships, the entire formation could not be maintained, and the small boats were even thrown far behind.

Zhou Tai seized this opportunity firmly. He created a short-term number advantage in part and launched a timely counterattack. Huang Zhong's shooting command enabled Zhou Tai's fleet to maintain an extremely high hit and range. However, Lu Jun, a rookie who had not undergone large-scale actual combat, made low-level mistakes and inconsistent orders, and the chaos in the command of the team directly led to the collapse of the formation. In the end, even the ship was lit and had to transfer to other ships.

When Lu Jun's subsequent troops gradually caught up, more than 1,500 large ships in Lu Jun's hand had been lit, and Zhou Tai's efficiency was still very high.

This extremely heavy loss immediately knocked Lu Jun's arrogance back into his butt. Lu Jun, who was just shouting at attacking, is now shouting loudly to defend. All the ships were gathered into a dense formation. Moreover, in order to protect the larger ship with higher value, this guy actually placed the boat on the periphery. This was simply sending himself into a cage.

Zhou Tai was immediately overjoyed. The enemy was banished from his martial arts. If he didn't go up and beat the dog in the water, he would definitely be sorry for himself and for the gods' behavior.

Zhou Tai's fleet was like a beast hunting. He kept shooting oil tanks and fire arrows at Lu Jun's fleet, and ships were ignited one after another, but there were more and more ships on the sea because the sailors and soldiers on the big ship had put down more small boats to escape.

The entire sea was covered with burning ships, choking black smoke, countless small boats, the waterfall struggling to survive with wooden boards, and the snowflakes falling from the sky!

Zhou Tai didn't care about the enemy troops who fell into the water or the enemy troops who were riding on the boat. It was impossible for these people to row the boat back to Jianye with oars. It would take a day to go to Jianye here and sprint sails.

Zhou Tai's energy is all focused on the main fleet chasing Lu Jun. Now Lu Jun is like being peeled by Zhou Tai's oranges, cleaning and igniting the small boats around layer by layer, and then leaving the orange meat in the middle, which looks so tempting.

The Jiangdong Navy, the sailors and private soldiers of the aristocratic clans were now a little desperate. If the battle could not end in a while, tens of thousands of them might die of starvation on the sea. They looked up at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and their hearts were as cold as snow as their bodies.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from a distance: "Fleet! Fleet!"

Everyone looked eastward from the sea, and big ships were entering everyone's sight from the junction of sea and sky. After a while, in everyone's sight, this huge fleet had filled the sea and antennas, but the flying flags told them that this seemed to be the fleet of the Miyun Zhen family and Li Ji Shang. In other words, this was the enemy's fleet and he was captured by himself!

However, being captured is better than being frozen to death on the sea and starved to death. What's more, my master has long abandoned me. By letting them surround the periphery, I actually treat them as shields and scapegoats. Therefore, being captured may be a good thing. Although it may not be better to change my master, I finally have an extra chance to be able to leave a master who abandons me at any time. What if I am a good master this time?

These people who fell into the water were salvaged one by one. Each of them sent warm clothes and a large bowl of hot ginger soup, and then they began to register their famous posts one by one. Don’t be told that they are no longer registered in Jiangdong. From now on, they are from Liaodong. Sure enough, they are going thousands of miles away!

This fleet had just transported supplies to the merchant ship on Xiaoye Island. The goods on the ship had not been unloaded yet. In order to avoid Lu Jun's fleet, they had to hide from the sea. Later, Zhou Tai's war went smoothly, but he had no time to take care of the enemy troops who fell into the water, so he had to call the caravan to rescue.

As for the whereabouts of the captives, this was decided by Fang Zhiwen. Although these people were good sailors, they could not continue to stay on Xiaoye Island. After all, they were too close to Jiangdong, so some bad situations were inevitable, so they all went to Liaodong. The Liaodong Peninsula was building a port, and these people could come in handy.

Besides, Zhou Tai was chasing Lu Jun's fleet all the way. At this moment, Lu Jun had completely lost the basic qualities that a commander should have. Apart from escaping, Lu Jun made almost no effective resistance.

After the small boats on the periphery finally collapsed, Lu Jun issued an order to break the tail and divide the troops. He forced himself to escape with dozens of big ships as fast as possible. The remaining fleet was surrounded by Zhou Tai. The continuous failures were enough to dampen morale. Now the coach actually ran away, and the morale was directly reduced to zero. Zhou Tai attacked for a while, and the fleet saw that there was no hope of escaping. He directly raised the flag and surrendered.

At this point, the naval battle on Xiaoye Island came to an end. When Lu Jun attacked, there were more than 3,200 ships of all sizes, totaling more than 200,000 people, and Zhou Tai's troops had 300 warships. The sailors had a total of 45,000 people, and Xiaoye Island had 24,000 Fang Zhiwen's troops. In the end, more than 1,000 ships were sunk and more than 2,000 (including small boats) were captured. More than 140,000 soldiers and sailors were captured, and about 30,000 were killed or missing.

This was the largest sea battle in history. It was also the most brilliant battle. The Jiangdong Navy lost nearly 200,000 young and strong men at once, which was almost a fatal blow to the shipping and navy in Jiangdong. Many Jiangdong clans never recovered from this. Of course, the Zhu family and Lu family suffered the greatest losses. The Lu family's surface power was almost completely destroyed, while the Zhu family lost half of it.

....................................................

"Jun Li, we meet again, but I didn't expect that we would meet under this situation. This is Gu Yuantan, who is famous in Jiangdong? Fortunately!"

Fang Zhiwen greeted Gu Yong with a smile on his face and said hello to Zhu Zhi who had just entered the door. Zhu Zhi was stunned and then smiled bitterly. Gu Yong looked at Zhu Zhi's expression and then looked at Fang Zhiwen.

"Caomin has met General Pingbei, and this is really...hey!"

"Gu Yong has met General Pingbei!"

"You're polite, please sit down. You don't have to be polite, and don't care about the previous misunderstandings. People are inevitably misunderstandings. Sometimes they fight, but that doesn't matter. What's important is that we can all look forward and see ways to accept and compromise with each other. What Junli thinks?"

"What the general said is very much, I'm taught me! This incident is really ashamed!"

"Haha, there is no need. The Zhu family has close economic and trade exchanges with me Miyun. In the past, it will still be the same in the future. As for the Gu family, they may have had less contact with me Miyun, but this time they were not acquainted. They can take advantage of this opportunity to establish a closer relationship. Yuan Tan thought what?"

Gu Yong was stunned and then felt ashamed. Not to mention anything else, just his mind and vision were far away. Gu Yong knelt up solemnly and bowed, saying, "Yong has received teaching."

Fang Zhiwen smiled and waved his hand and said, "This time my navy went south. Why did I tell Junli and Jiangdong families in my letter that even now, this purpose will not change. Jiangdong is Jiangdong from Jiangdong people, and this will not change. But I hope Jiangdong is a more rational and confident Jiangdong, rather than Jiangdong who will only be angry and angry when facing competition and challenges."

Zhu Zhi and Gu Yong looked at each other, and they thought of a question almost at the same time. If Jiangdong is not the Jiangdong that Fang Zhiwen is looking forward to, then how should Jiangdong be changed? Lu family...

"General, may I ask if the battle at sea will have a result, Lu Jun..."

Fang Zhiwen smiled mysteriously and raised his hand to point at Xu Shu: "This matter has made my military advisor Xu Yuanshi explain it to both of you."
