Li Changjie was also looking at Wang Ju and them.

This is a eunuch who is very good at fighting, although the power of Jiaozhi restricts the use of his talents.

Since last year, several Song Dynasty soldiers have been forced to betray by torture, and after getting some news, he began to arrange.

The first is the 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 verification, and Li Changjie immediately sent someone to search for this thing. You can't get it from the military, but you can still get it from one place, and that's Champa. Champa is the only way for many maritime merchants and ships, and many maritime merchants deliberately stop in Champa.

The telescopes in the hands of these maritime merchants were provided by Wang Ju, and this technology was also improving, and when Wang Ju was in Quanzhou, he gave some of the earlier backward telescopes to each sea ship free of charge, and each ship was issued one.

The role of this telescope in navigation should not be underestimated.

The Song Dynasty sailed mainly along the coastline, even with a compass and a sextant, or along the coastline, in case of an accident, close to the coastline, it would increase the chance of survival. However, if it is too close to the coastline, there is a danger of running aground and running aground. Therefore, in order to avoid the possibility of stranding, the maritime merchants used a watermelon-sized stone, made an eye, tied a rope and threw it to the bottom of the sea, which was used to measure the depth of the ocean. There is a slight effect, but the effect is not too significant, after all, ships are constantly moving while sailing. Especially with the wind and water, the speed of the boat is very fast, and even if it has it, it cannot be measured, and it has to be stranded. The only way is to find a way to stay farther away from the coast, and then the ocean will be deeper. This requires a telescope.

There is also a special danger of encountering, in addition to a huge side storm. Bring up the big waves. Sink the ship in one fell swoop. Generally, there is always some buffer time for ships to sink, even if it is like a large storm in the United States, as long as it is against the wind, it will not sink in one, two, three, then there is life-saving equipment on the ship, and then there is a telescope to look at the surrounding environment, which will increase the probability of escape for the crew.

How important a voyage is is more than just a little bit of extraction on the books of the city. The Southern Song Dynasty sailed alone to drive one-sixth of GDP, equivalent to one-tenth of the world's GDP at that time. It can be said that without navigation, the economy of the Southern Song Dynasty would collapse, so the Southern Song Dynasty government sent many naval troops to be stationed in the Strait of Malacca, one is to collect taxes, but the main purpose is to protect the maritime merchants of the Song Dynasty and fight piracy.

Even at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, it also brought nearly 1,000 yuan of income to the inner library every year, which is a direct benefit. And not GDP. Now because of Wang Ju's push, at least the navigation is close to the level of the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty. can imagine the shock to the imperial court.

But the bigger the scale, the more important security becomes.

But not everyone thinks this way.

Therefore, at a high price, two unscrupulous businessmen sold the telescope in their hands to Jiaozhi, and one of them went to Li Dangjie.

This is the first one, and the second one is Super Fierce Oil.

This thing was mentioned in the story of the Battle of Qingzhou by Wang Ju in the past, but Guo Kui did not use it, but Wang Ju later used it in the tributaries of the Qiu River and burned dozens of warships in Jiaozhi. Li Changjie had to pay attention to it, he couldn't get this thing, unless he broke through Yongzhou City again. Not only could he not get this kind of refined fierce fire oil, but also ordinary fierce fire oil Jiaozhi. Liao has state-owned, but Li Changjie doesn't know, but he knows, and he finally got it, and there is still a big difference between the two.

But let him imagine it by asking Jiang to fight.

First of all, it burns on large rivers, and secondly, the fire is very strong.

Last year, the fleet was not brought, but this year, if the Song Dynasty brought it, it will be very unfavorable for naval warfare.

So how to extinguish it, and finally thought about it for many days, and suddenly thought of one thing, sand.

It seems that he really thought it right, whether it worked or not, and then he will know.

He knew more than Wang Ju could have imagined.

For example, through the reports of these traitors, he analyzed that those Kunlun slaves on the other side were cowardly in nature. However, in addition to the various races on land, the people on all islands in the entire South China Sea are like this, cowardly and cruel, so the foreigners came, slaughtered and killed, and surrendered together. But for the country or race that is good to them, that killing is called not blinking. If there is no Wang Ju to promote, the most amiable Han people in the future will become the most tragic group over there.

And what worries Wang Ju is their IQ, which also has a lot to do with it, if there is no external factor to promote, there are undoubtedly only two civilizations, one east and one west, and the islands in the South China Sea, including Uncle Heishu, are difficult to form a high degree of civilization. Even when a large number of Han Chinese migrated over, the local civilization did not promote much. Therefore, Wang Ju asserted in his previous life that Ah San would never want to catch up with the Celestial Empire, and his racial IQ was also. Of course, there are so many, there are always a few geniuses, but the overall quality is like that.

Because of Yanda's kindness, he must settle hundreds of thousands of people to integrate in the Central Plains...... This idea is a bit radical, but it also proves that he is soft-hearted, otherwise knowing the IQ, as well as the memories of his previous life, where would he agree to Yanda's request?

But this weakness was seen by Li Changjie.

And Li Changjie also knew that Wang Ju used the people of the islands on the other side to train his troops, and deceived the people into the boat, endangering Jiaozhi, and also knew that Wang Ju was also trying to empty the population on those islands, so as to facilitate the migration of the people behind and evacuate the dense population of the Song Dynasty.

These have nothing to do with Cochin, which itself is not densely populated, and there are no advanced ships to reach the other side.

He was concerned that there seemed to be a few thousand soldiers on the other side, some of whom were not very good at water, but they were all good at navigating boats.

So he had some plans......

In fact, both sides are the same, they both heard some information about the other party, and they didn't hear some information about the other party.

It can only be said that the advantage is on Wang Ju's side, although Li Changjie is powerful, but the national strength is too weak, although Wang Ju only used two backward road forces, as well as overseas forces, but in all aspects also surpassed Jiaozhi.

The flotilla approached.

Li Changjie was finally able to see the Song Dynasty fleet clearly, and finally he frowned, so many warships?

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

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

Of course, these ships are not to be underestimated, although they are small and have fewer people, they are more agile and maneuverable.

"Shaobao, those boats are a little different."

Battleship. As the name suggests, it is a ship used for fighting, which must be flexible and easy to operate, so the draft is shallow, the hull is relatively narrow and long, it does not have a deep cabin like a cargo ship, especially such a small ship, it can almost be said that there is no cabin anymore, and people can only stand on the deck.

It is true that these small boats do not have very deep cabins. But on the deck, a part of the deck was raised, and there were not many people on board. There are people who operate the boat, there are people who are on guard and ready to fight, but those who are ready to fight are crowded on both sides of the ship. At the same time, there are two or three strange black holes on the side of the ship......

The two glanced at each other and said in unison: "Chibi." ”

Yang Congxian immediately ordered Wei Sheng to turn around the fleet of ships escorting the people in the rear and retreat.

"It's a good idea for the Jiaozhi people to fight," Lu Herang also came to his senses and said.

"Don't underestimate it, otherwise I wouldn't be so troublesome." Wang Judao.

Yang Congxian continued to give orders to all warships to be careful not to let them get close.

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

Two warship groups were already approaching.

At this time, naval warfare was generally very backward, either on the other side's ships to fight, or to shoot at each other, or to use the big ships to ram or fire attack, but the fire attack on the sea was limited, unless someone stupidly continued to twist the fleet together with iron chains.

First, they collided, and compared to the Jiaozhi battleships, the warships of the Song Dynasty were behemoths, so they forcibly rammed into the larger ships of the other side.

The Cochin people had no choice but to steer the boat to avoid it, and for a while, the fleet formation of the Cochin people became scattered.

However, Li Changjie didn't plan to fight the formation, he squinted his eyes, and then issued an order.

The boats immediately came out from behind, only partially.

There are also small boats ready to attack the clumsy cargo ships that transport the people in the rear, as long as dozens of cargo ships are burned, the Kunlun slaves on the cargo ships will be nervous, then the various ships will be chaotic, and the battle will be won.

Yang Congxian watched the enemy's movements, saw the boat coming out, and immediately gave orders with a flag.

Mutual firing begins.

For a time, many dead soldiers fell with arrows.

Compared with the equipment of the Cochin, the equipment of the Song Dynasty is too advanced, even the chain mail is after simple carbon tempering, and then after cold forging and stamping, as well as heat treatment procedures, the Cochin armor also has some clumsy heat treatment technology, but it is far less than the current heat treatment technology of the Song Dynasty.

The bow in the hands of the Song soldiers was even more sophisticated composite bow.

And in front of the archers, there was another shield-bearer, holding a long side shield, and tightly protecting the archers behind him.

For these equipment alone, Wang Ju spent millions of dollars.

Not only these bows and arrows, but also fierce fire oil. As the archers in front fired, the Song soldiers in the back also began to operate the tiger cannons placed on the deck, throwing small canisters on the opponent's ship.

"Covered in sediment?" Wang Ju was surprised.

"It's kind of interesting." Lu He gave way.

Yang Congxian was nervously watching the battlefield, and then continued to give two orders in the flag language.

With this order, the soldiers began to shoot rockets.

But the sand cover did a good job, and only a few ships did not have time to cover the sand and began to burn, and the rest of the enemy ships were mostly unharmed. But the boats came in from the rear.

However, Yang Cong had already given the order in the language of the flag, and one by one small canisters were thrown into those small boats, and then countless rockets were launched.

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

But the tactic of the Cochins also worked, although the warships were careful to avoid it, and smashed it with fierce fire oil, and then fired it with rockets, but these small ships were too nimble. Still let some small boats get closer. The soldiers used wooden shields to protect their teammates behind them, and the soldiers behind slammed them with sledgehammers, and as the sledgehammers fell, sharp iron cones emerged from those black holes and were set on each battleship at once, and then these soldiers dropped their torches, burned the boats themselves, and then jumped into the sea and swam to their friends behind them.

Yang Congxian turned his head and glanced at Wang Ju.

Wang Ju said: "People matter. ”

That's enough.

Yang Congxian immediately ordered, and the soldiers on more than a dozen warships on fire saw this flag order as if they were relieved, and immediately took off their armor, this armor is not like clothes, whether it is put on or taken off, it is more troublesome. Therefore, if a person is important, he must abandon the ship in advance, otherwise it will be too late.

Li Changjie's brows also did not relax, he thought to himself, could it be that the Song army had been preparing for this naval battle for a long time? Otherwise, there are so many water armies?

really let him guess correctly, as early as the end of last year, Wang Ju selected 25,000 soldiers on the battlefield and asked Yang Congxian to secretly transport them to Guangzhou, where they trained secretly between the relatively remote Shangchuanzhou Island and Xiachuanzhou Island, and then successively selected 5,000 soldiers who were really not suitable for water activities, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers have been trained until now. Not only swimming, but also training boats, as well as combat on boats, as well as various land training, that is, multi-functional arms.

Even without this naval battle, that training would have been useful, after all, the Cochin River network is dense, and last year it was a surprise, and this year it can't be expected that Cochin will be defenseless. Then even if you go ashore, wars on all kinds of terrain cannot be avoided.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty naval army participating in the war now is not a few thousand, but more than 21,000 people!

There were more men in Jiaozhi, more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but the ships were backward and the equipment was backward......

Li Changjie glanced at the fleet behind him again, his mind was thinking quickly, and the fleet behind him turned around in advance and left the battlefield. But these ships are bulky and slow, and they still have time to catch up. However, this water army has to be dealt with in advance.

It seems that it will not work without paying the price.

Therefore, an order was immediately given to all the small boats with flammable materials in the back.

Yang Congxian also looked at the battlefield, although he burned many small boats, but Cochin was obviously fully prepared, the cabin carried a lot of flammable materials, but the outside of the cabin seemed to be coated with mud, so it was easy to burn from the inside, but it was very difficult to burn from the outside, although many small boats were burned, most of them were smashed on the bow of the ship, and they began to catch fire from the bow.

But because of this, more than a dozen battleships caught fire.

The Song army on the boat had to take off his armor, put on a lifebuoy, and jump into the sea. But at this time, the warships of the enemy and us were already mixed together, and they had to swim in the sea, and they had no shields and moved slowly, and many Song soldiers were shot and killed by the Jiaozhi people.

It can't go on like this, Yang Congxian looked at the battlefield first, feeling anxious, and fine beads of sweat were pouring out of his forehead. Now the Song army still has the advantage on the scene, otherwise Li Changjie would not be more worried, the ships of the Song Dynasty are large, and they have even directly knocked over more than 30 Jiaozhi warships, and the equipment on the ships is more advanced and the speed of the ships is faster. But the cochin boat is better than small and flexible, especially this kind of small fireboat, which is even more disgusting. Jiaozhi can't afford it, and neither can the Song army.

While looking at the battlefield, he thought of countermeasures, and finally gave an order, with the flag being issued, the warships of the Song Dynasty immediately changed formations, and the two ships leaned together to protect each other, so that the forces could be concentrated on one side, and while shooting the soldiers on those small boats with all their might, they smashed their bows with fierce fire oil, which could only be burned from the bow.

There were still some Song ships that were burned, and even some Jiaozhi soldiers were dying, their ships were on fire, and they still forcibly approached the Song ships, trying to pull a Song Dynasty warship into the sea, but the situation was quickly reversed.

Li Changjie looked anxious, he looked at it with a telescope, and suddenly ordered that all small boats assemble on the main ship where Wang Ju was under his order.

"Not good." Lu He made this color change.

Wang Ju couldn't help it, and said, "General Yang, the left and right ships are sent to protect it, and they also rush towards the enemy's main ship. ”

He pointed to Li Changjie's flagship and said.

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