Li Changjie was also watching Wang Ju and the others.

This is a very good eunuch, although Jiaozhi's national strength restricts his ability to display.

Since last year, he has used to torture to force several Song Dynasty soldiers to betray him. After receiving some news, he began to make arrangements.

The first is a telescope.

In fact, Guo Kui used a telescope when he went south, but Li Changjie was not very clear at that time.

This time it was a test, and Li Changjie immediately sent someone to buy this thing. He couldn't get it from the military, but he could still get it from one place, that is Chameng. Chameng is the only way for many maritime merchants and sea ships, and many maritime merchants are deliberately staying in Chameng.

The telescopes in the hands of these maritime merchants were provided by Wang Ju, and this technology is also being improved. When Wang Ju was in Quanzhou, he gave some of the previously lagging telescopes to each maritime ship for free, and each ship was given one.

The role of this telescope in navigation cannot be underestimated.

The main navigation of the Song Dynasty was to run along the coastline. Even if there was a compass and sextant, it would still run along the coastline. If something happened, it would increase the chance of survival. However, too close to the coastline, there would be a risk of stranding and hitting the reefs. Therefore, in order to avoid the possibility of stranding, the merchants used a stone the size of a watermelon to shoot the eye, tied a rope and threw it to the bottom of the sea to measure the depth of the ocean. There was a little effect, but the effect was not too significant. After all, the ship kept moving when sailing. Especially when it was smooth, the ship was very fast. Even if it was smooth, it could not be measured. If it was stranded, it would have to be stranded. The only way was to find a way to go further away from the coast, so the ocean depth would be deeper. This required a telescope.

There are also special dangers, except for huge side storms that bring huge waves and sink the ship. Generally, there is always some buffer time for ships to sink. Even if they are like a blockbuster in the United States, they will not sink in just one, two or three as long as they are exposed to the wind. Then there is life-saving equipment on the ship, and a telescope to look at the surrounding environment, which will increase the chance of crew members escaping.

How important a sailing is, it is not just the excuse on the books of the Maritime Bureau. The Southern Song Dynasty's sailing alone drove one-sixth of GDP, equivalent to one-tenth of GDP in the world at that time. It can be said that without sailing, the Southern Song Dynasty's economy would collapse, so the Southern Song government sent many naval forces to station specifically in the Strait of Malacca, one for taxation, but mainly to protect the Song Dynasty's maritime merchants and combat pirates.

Even in the late Northern Song Dynasty, it also brought nearly 1,000 guan of profits to the inner treasury every year, which was a direct profit, not GDP. Now, because of Wang Ju's promotion, the navigation has at least approached the level of the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is expected to bring shock to the court.

But the larger the scale, the more important it is.

Not everyone has the same idea as him.

Therefore, at the high price, two illegal businessmen sold the telescopes in their hands to Jiaozhi, and one of them came to Li Dangjie.

This is the first and the second is super hot turmeric oil.

This thing was mentioned in the story of the Battle of King Ju Qingzhou, but Guo Kui did not use it. However, Wang Ju later used it in Yu Qiujiang tributary and burned dozens of Jiaozhi warships. Li Changjie had to pay attention that he could not get this thing unless he could break through Yongzhou City again. Not only did he not get this refined hot turbulent oil, but also did not have the ordinary hot turbulent hot turbulent oil. Liao Kingdom had it, but Li Changjie didn't know it, but he knew it. After finally getting it, there was still a big difference between the two.

But he might as well let him imagine through the battle of seeking Jiang.

First of all, it can burn on the river, and secondly, the fire is very strong.

The fleet was not carried last year, but if it was taken in the Song Dynasty this year, it would be very unfavorable for naval battles.

So how to put it out? Finally, after thinking about it for many days, I suddenly thought of something, sand and soil.

It seems that he really thought it right. Whether it works or not, you will know next.

He knew more than Wang Ju imagined.

For example, through the reports of these traitors, he analyzed that the Kunlun slaves on the opposite side were cowardly. However, except for all races on land, the people on all islands were like this. They were cowardly and cruel. Therefore, when foreigners came, they slaughtered and surrendered together. When Japan came, they surrendered. But if the country or race was good to them, the ones or races that were good to them were called not to blink. If there was no push from Wang Ju, the most kind Han people in the future would become the most tragic group there.

What worries Wang Ju is their IQ, which has a lot to do with it. Without external factors, there will undoubtedly be only two civilizations, one east and one west, and the islands of the South China Sea, including Hei Shu Shu, are difficult to form a high degree of civilization. Even if a large number of Han people migrated there later, the local civilization did not promote much. Therefore, Wang Ju asserted in his previous life that Ah San would never have thought of rushing to the Celestial Empire and his racial IQ was also there. Of course, there were so many people, and there were always a few geniuses, but the overall quality was that.

Because of Yan Da's kindness, he had to settle hundreds of thousands of people into the Central Plains to merge... This idea was a bit radical, but it also proved that he was soft-hearted. Otherwise, if he knew his IQ and his memories of his previous life, how could he agree with Yan Da's request?

But this weakness was seen by Li Changjie.

In addition, Li Changjie also learned that Wang Ju used the people on the other side of the island to train troops, and tricked the people into the ship to harm Jiaozhi. He also knew that Wang Ju also wanted to clear the population on those islands so that the people who migrated behind him could evacuate the dense population of the Song Dynasty.

These have nothing to do with Jiaozhi. Jiaozhi's own population is not quite dense, and there are no advanced ships that sail to the other side.

What he was concerned about was that there seemed to be thousands of soldiers on the other side. Some of these soldiers were not very good at water, but they were all good at maneuvering.

So he had some plans...

In fact, both sides were the same. They both found out some information about each other, but they did not find out some information about each other.

It can only be said that the advantage is on Wang Ju's side. Although Li Changjie is powerful, his national strength is too weak. Although Wang Ju only used two backward powers and overseas powers, he also surpassed Jiaozhi in all aspects.

The fleet approaches.

Li Changjie finally could see the Song Dynasty fleet clearly, and finally he frowned. So many warships?

Because the two huge fleets were approaching quickly, he thought for a while and immediately issued a series of orders.

Wang Ju was also watching them. About a hundred ships. Why are there so many ships? Because most of them are actually small fishing boats, with only a few people or a dozen sailors on them.

Of course, we should not underestimate them. Although these ships are small and have few people, they are more flexible and mobile.

"Shaobao, those small boats are a little different."

The warship, a warship, is a ship used for combat, which is flexible and maneuverable and easy to operate. Therefore, the draft is shallow and the hull is narrow and long. It does not have deep cabins like cargo ships. Especially such small ships, there can almost be no cabins, and people can only stand on the deck.

These small boats did not have deep cabins. However, some cabins were raised on the deck, and there were not many people on the boat. There were boatmen, people who were alert to fight, and people who were ready to fight could squeeze in the boat to grab both sides. At the same time, there were two or three strange black holes on the side of the boat...

The two looked at each other and said at the same time: "Red Cliff."

Yang Congxian immediately ordered Wei Sheng and others to turn the fleet escort the people in the rear and retreat.

"A good idea for Jiaozhi people," Lu Herang also woke up and said.

"How can I underestimate it? Otherwise, I wouldn't be so troubled." Wang Ju said.

Yang Congxian continued to order all warships to be careful of those small boats and not to let them get close.

Wei Sheng and Zhu Tingguang turned the fleet and left the battlefield.

The two warship brigades are approaching.

At this time, the naval battle was generally very backward. They either fought on the opponent's ships, shot at each other, or used large ships to collide or fire attack, but the fire attack was limited in the sea, unless someone continued to twist the fleet together with iron chains.

First, it was a collision. Compared with the Jiaozhi battleship, the various warships of the Song Dynasty were giants, so they forced to crash into the larger ships of the other side.

The Jiaozhi people had to take a boat to avoid it, and for a moment the Jiaozhi people's fleet formation became scattered.

However, Li Changjie had no intention of competing for the formation. He narrowed his eyes and issued an order.

The boats immediately broke out from behind, only a part of them broke out.

Some small boats were preparing to attack the clumsy cargo ships behind the people. As long as dozens of cargo ships were burning, the Kunlun slaves on the cargo ship would become nervous, and the ships would become confused and the battle would be won.

Yang Congxian looked at the enemy's movements and saw that the boat came out, he immediately used a banner to impose orders.

The mutual shooting begins.

For a time, many death soldiers of Jiaozhi fell down by arrows.

Compared with Jiaozhi's equipment, the equipment of the Song Dynasty was too advanced. Even the chain mail was tempered simply by carbon, followed by cold forging and heat treatment procedures. Jiaozhi's nails also had some clumsy heat treatment technology, but they were far inferior to the current heat treatment technology of the Song Dynasty.

The bow in Song Bing's hand is an excellent compound bow.

Moreover, in front of the archers, there was a shield player holding a long side shield to protect the archers behind him.

Wang Ju spent millions of chunks of money just for these equipment.

Not only were these bows and arrows, but also harsh turbulent oil. As the archers in front shot, Song Bing behind also began to operate the tiger-square cannons placed on the deck, throwing small cans on the other party's ship.

"Covering mud and sand?" Wang Ju was surprised.

"It's interesting." Lu He gave in.

However, Yang Congxian was nervously paying attention to the battlefield and continued to give two orders in flag language.

With this order, the soldiers began to shoot rockets.

But this sand covering really played a role. Only a few ships had time to cover the mud and sand and began to burn. The remaining enemy ships were safe and sound. However, those small boats were inserted from behind.

However, Yang Congxian had already issued an order in flag words, and threw small jars into the small boats one by one, and then countless rockets were launched.

Many small boats burned quickly, and Wang Ju said: "Sure enough."

But the Jiaozhi people's tactic also played a role. Although the warships carefully avoided each other and smashed them with fierce tinder oil, and then shot them with rockets, these small boats were too flexible. They still allowed some small boats to approach. The Jiaozhi soldiers protected their teammates with wooden shields, while the soldiers behind them smashed them with big hammers. As the hammers were smashed down, pointed iron cones emerged from the black holes and were inlaid on the various warships at once. Then the soldiers threw down the torches, burned the boat by themselves, jumped out of the sea, and swam to their friend's boats behind.

Yang Congxian turned his head and looked at Wang Ju.

Wang Ju said: "People are important."

It's enough.

Yang Congxian immediately ordered that the soldiers on more than a dozen fired warships were relieved when they saw the flag order and immediately untied their armor. This armor was not like clothes, and it was more troublesome to wear or take off. So it was important for a person to abandon the ship in advance, otherwise it would be too late.

Li Changjie also did not relax his eyebrows. He thought to himself, was the Song army preparing for this naval battle for a long time? Otherwise, so many naval troops would come?

He really guessed it right. As early as the end of last year, Wang Ju selected 25,000 battlefields and asked Yang Congxian to transport them to Guangzhou secretly, and secretly trained between the relatively remote Shangchuanzhou Island and Xiachuanzhou Island. Then he successively selected 5,000 soldiers who were really uncomfortable in the water. The remaining 20,000 soldiers have been training until now. Not only did they train swimming, but they also trained boat training, as well as combat on the boat, as well as various land training, that is, multi-functional troops.

Even without this naval battle, that training would be useful. After all, the Jiaozhi River is densely populated, and it was unexpected last year. I can’t expect Jiaozhi to be unprepared this year. Then, even if I get ashore, wars of various terrain are still unavoidable.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty navy that participated in the war now is not a few thousand, but more than 21,000!

There are more people in Jiaozhi, with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but the ships are behind and the equipment is behind...

Li Changjie looked at the fleet behind again, thinking quickly, and the fleet behind turned around in advance and left the battlefield. However, these ships were bulky and slow, so they could still catch up. However, they had to deal with this navy in advance.

It seems that it is not enough not to pay the price.

Therefore, the order was immediately issued to all the small boats with flammable materials behind them to go out together.

Yang Congxian also looked at the battlefield. Although many small boats were burned, Jiaozhi was obviously well prepared. The cabin contained a lot of flammable materials, but the outside of the cabin seemed to be covered with mud, so it was easy to burn from the inside, but it was difficult to burn from the outside. Although many small boats were burned, most of them were swelling oil on the bow and started to catch fire from the bow.

But for this reason, more than a dozen warships caught fire.

The Song army on the ship had to take off their armor, put on a lifebuoy, and jump out of the sea. But at this time, the warships of the enemy and us were already mixed together. They had to swim in the sea without shields and acted slowly. Many Song soldiers were shot and killed by Jiaozhi people.

If this continues, Yang Congxian looked at the battlefield, was anxious, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat beads. The Song army still had an advantage in the scene, otherwise Li Changjie would not be more worried. The Song Dynasty's ships were large and had even directly knocked over more than 30 Jiaozhi warships, and the ship was more advanced and the ship was faster. However, Jiaozhi's ship was small and flexible, especially this kind of small fireboat, which was even more disgusting. Jiaozhi could not afford to consume, and the Song army could not afford to consume.

While looking at the battlefield and thinking about countermeasures, he finally gave an order. With the flag utterance, the Song Dynasty's warships immediately changed formations, and the two ships leaned together to protect each other, so that the troops could be concentrated on one side. While shooting the soldiers on the boat with all their might, they could only smash their bows with tinder oil, and they could only burn them from the bows.

Some Song ships were still burned, and some Jiaozhi soldiers even died. Their ships caught fire and still forced themselves to move towards the Song ship, trying to pull a Song Dynasty warship into the sea, but the situation was quickly reversed.

Li Changjie looked anxiously, and he looked with a telescope. Suddenly, he ordered that each small boat gather at the main ship where Wang Ju was located under his order.

"Not good." Lu Herang's expression changed.

Wang Ju couldn't help it and said, "General Yang, the ships on both sides of the left and right are also rushing towards the enemy's main ship."

He pointed to the flagship where Li Changjie was located and said.

The melee turned into a beheading battle... (To be continued...)
