The Taihu navy fought for their lives. Although they succeeded in charging the formation, it was not easy to board the enemy ship.
In particular, the building where Yuan Gaijia is located is a huge thing on the sea. The hull is also covered with armor. There are nearly 300 sailors on this warship. It is extremely difficult to board this warship.
The Taihu Army obviously also knew that this warship was the enemy's flagship.
As the saying goes, "Capture the thief first, capture the king first." Countless Taihu troops swarmed the ship and attacked with all their might without fear of death.
The Bohai Navy's fleet formation was completely disorganized when it was deployed, and could not form a team at all. When it was rushed by the Taihu Army, it was cut into pieces. In the melee, they could only fight on their own.
The traveling boats and stern boats in front finally turned around and faced the Taihu Army.
Walking barges can still play a big role. The hull itself is not too big. It can pass through the gaps between floor ships, fighting ships and even stern ships. However, the stern ships themselves are not small. Although the speed of travel after determining the direction is relatively small.
It is fast, but its dexterity is far inferior to that of a barge boat.
The barges quickly went to meet the enemy, while the barges could only carefully look for opportunities.
There are too many ships mixed together. There is me among you and you among me. There is no unified command. If the Bohai warships are scurrying around like headless flies, it is easy for their own warships to collide. Therefore, although the battle situation
It was fierce, but the Bohai warships were extremely cautious and did not dare to get too close to each other.
The Taihu Army's rope-climbing skills have obviously been trained for a long time and are extremely skilled. Although it is extremely difficult to climb the building ship, sailors have already boarded many fighting ships and stern ships, and they immediately fought with the Bohai soldiers with a wave of their swords.
However, the Bohai Navy was also brave. Both sides fought hand-to-hand in close combat without flinching.
Numerous archers shot the Taihu sailors with arrows, and rockets were fired at the Taihu army's ships, igniting a fire that could not be extinguished. Many Taihu sailors had no choice but to jump into the sea.
The water in winter is freezing cold.
But the soldiers who fell into the water still swam towards the enemy ship.
The King of Taihu had spoken to everyone, and everyone knew the significance of this battle. Everyone came to participate in this sea battle with a death wish, and if they didn't succeed, they would be benevolent.
Yuan Gaijia looked around, seeing the light and shadow of swords everywhere he looked.
A chill ran down his back.
The Bohai Navy took more than ten years to build and invested countless financial and manpower. Even Yuan Gaijia knew that this was an unrivaled and powerful navy.
In recent years, the Bohai Navy stole the show from the Tang Dynasty, practiced countless formations, and even developed and innovated many combat methods on its own.
But in the end, the Bohai Navy had no chance to show it off.
He found that what he had trained before was of no use at all.
How could the situation develop like this?
The Bohai Navy, which originally had an absolute advantage, is now engaged in a chaotic battle with the enemy.
What's even more terrible is that the number of Taihu Navy troops far exceeds that of Bohai Navy.
In the current battle, the strength of the warships can no longer influence the situation of the battle. What determines the situation of the battle is who has more people and who is more brave.
He now knew that the powerful Bohai Navy was like a wild beast, falling into a trap carefully set by the enemy.
From the beginning to the end, the opponent was always ahead of the enemy.
The Bohai Navy completely followed the enemy's expectations and easily fell into the trap.
At this time, there is no way to advance, and there is no way to retreat.
There is no choice but to fight the enemy to the bitter end.
"Report, Commander-in-Chief, the warships of the Liaodong Army are coming!"
Yuan Gaijia followed the sound and frowned when he saw Zhou Lie's Sea Falcon ship approaching his own ship.
The Sea Falcon is the main warship of the Liaodong Navy. Although it is not as large as the tower ship, it is more powerful than the battleship.
In fact, the only real main warship of the Liaodong Army is Zhou Lie's Sea Falcon ship.
The few warships of the Liaodong Navy also accompanied the army in the battle, but Yuan Gaijia did not trust the Liaodong Navy.
It's not that he didn't believe in the position of the Liaodong Navy, but he didn't trust that the Liaodong Navy could tacitly cooperate with the Bohai Sea Navy after the war began. Therefore, he did not let Zhou Lie be in charge of the two wings, but directly incorporated all the ships of the Liaodong Navy into the Bohai Navy.
Among the middle team.
But in order to show respect for Zhou Lie, the Sea Falcon ship that Zhou Lie was stationed in followed closely behind his building ship.
After the Taihu navy rushed into battle, Zhou Lie's Sea Falcon ship and other Liaodong Army warships were also attacked by the Taihu Army. However, the Sea Falcon ship was well protected, and the Liaodong navy was also well-trained. The Taihu Army
It is indeed difficult to board a Falcon boat.
Moreover, the Sea Falcon boat was moving and even knocked over several enemy ships, causing many Taihu sailors to fall into the sea.
It's just that Yuan Gaijia didn't order Zhou Lie to come closer, but Zhou Lie's Sea Falcon boat took the initiative to come closer, which made Yuan Gaijia a little strange.
"Commander, we are here to help you!"
Zhou Lie's voice was like a loud bell, and he shouted towards Yuan Gaijia.
In fact, although the battle between the two armies at sea was fierce, and Taihu sailors had already boarded other warships, the large ship Yuan Gaijia was still very safe.
Not only were there many people on board, but the hull was too huge, making it extremely difficult to climb onto the building.
Although there were many Taihu sailors surrounding the main building ship, and there were many casualties, no one was able to board the building ship. It did not pose much threat to the building ship. On the contrary, there were many brave men and women around the building ship.
The Bohai Sea sailors used bows and arrows or spears to prevent the enemy from boarding the ship, causing considerable damage to the Taihu sailors.
At this time, Zhou Lie came over to help. Yuan Gaijia thought that as long as you could keep your own warship, there was no need to be so polite.
He was condescending and had a clear view. He saw the Sea Falcon ship and his own ship just a few feet away. Zhou Lie was already standing on the side with a big sword in his hand, and many Liaodong sailors on the Sea Falcon ship were gathered around Zhou Lie, densely packed.
It was a large area, and the sailors on the Sea Falcon had already prepared a sampan, so it was obvious that they were going to use the sampan to get across.
As the two ships approached, Zhou Lie made a move with his sword. The sailors had already put the sampan between the two ships, and the Bohai Sea soldiers on the ship knew that the Liaodong Army was an ally and did not stop them.
"No!" Yuan Gaijia suddenly felt something was wrong. A strong intuition made him feel that something was wrong, and he said sternly: "Let them go back, don't let them come over!"
But Zhou Lie was already like a ferocious tiger, jumping onto the sampan first and rushing directly towards the building ship. The Liaodong sailors behind him were also like a pack of wolves, almost all of them rushed to board the Bohai building ship.
The Bohai Sea soldiers on the ship saw that the Liaodong sailors were extremely ferocious, and they already felt that something was wrong. They also heard Yuan Gaijia's sharp shouts. Dozens of Bohai Sea soldiers had already stepped forward to resist. Someone shouted: "The Commander-in-Chief has an order, you guys."
Withdraw, quickly...!"
Before the man could finish speaking, Zhou Lie had already slashed down with his knife. The man never expected that his ally would suddenly use the knife. He was caught off guard and had no time to react. Blood splattered and his head flew out.
The Bohai soldiers were stunned for a moment.
"Brothers, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, capture Yuan Gaijia alive and kill the Bohai people!" Zhou Lie shouted in a loud voice like a bell: "Fight with me!"
As he shouted, he slashed again with his sword, instantly killing two more Bohai soldiers who had not yet recovered.
After the Bohai soldiers came to their senses, the Liaodong sailors behind Zhou Lie all pounced on them like wolves and tigers.
Yuan Gaijia saw Zhou Lie leading his troops onto the building ship with his own eyes, and saw Zhou Lie killing his sailors with his own eyes. He was stunned for a moment and was shocked as never before.
Did the Liaodong soldiers rebel?
Hearing the roar of the killing on the ship, the two hundred or so people on Zhou Lie's Sea Falcon didn't even care about their own warship. Instead, they rushed to the building ship through the several sampans set up like a tide.
The Bohai soldiers on the building boat saw the Liaodong soldiers rushing over and killing them indiscriminately. At this time, they could no longer take care of the Taihu soldiers who were climbing up the building boat. They could only swing their swords to fight the Liaodong soldiers who had already come over.
"Those who are not of my race must have different minds!" Yuan Gaijia pulled out the sword from his waist, his eyes seemed to spurt blood, and said sternly: "Kill Zhou Lie, kill him!"
Compared with the Taihu Army's attack, Zhou Lie's rebellion was obviously more fatal.
Yuan Gaijia knew that the defensive power of his building ships was extremely strong, and even if the Taihu Army was able to kill them in the end, they would definitely pay a heavy price.
But Zhou Lie led the Liaodong soldiers to board his warship easily.
This large ship is the flagship of the entire Bohai Navy. As long as this ship does not collapse, the Bohai Navy can fight the enemy to the end even if they fight independently.
However, once the flagship is lost, the morale of the entire Bohai Navy will suffer a devastating blow, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
The Bohai officers and soldiers on the flagship are the elite of the entire Bohai navy. Of course, they know that their heads can be cut off and their blood can be shed, but the flagship must not fall into the hands of the enemy.
The Liaodong sailors rebelled on the battlefield and drew their swords against each other. The Bohai soldiers were frightened and filled with grief and anger. Each one of them was brave and fearless of death and rushed forward to fight with the Liaodong soldiers.
Each ship in the Bohai Sea was already fighting on its own. Yuan Gaijia's flagship suddenly suffered an accident, and the two wing teams that were extremely far away could not see it at all. Even if they knew that they were currently fighting with the Taihu Army, they would not be able to save it.
The Chinese fleet was facing the enemy and was fighting a bloody battle with the Taihu soldiers. It was difficult to notice the situation on the flagship side for a while, but a fighting ship and two stern ships not far from the flagship heard the killing on the ship.
With a sound like thunder, Zhou Lie's Sea Falcon ship was also seen beside the building ship, and suddenly Liaodong sailors rushed towards the building ship from the Sea Falcon ship. The generals of these ships knew that the situation was not good, and they all
Knowing that the loss of the flagship would have disastrous consequences, they all ordered to move closer to the building ship, thinking of reinforcing the building ship.
Yuan Gaijia watched more and more Liaodong soldiers rushing over. Although the Bohai soldiers on the building ships fought hard, there were only about 300 people on and off the building ships, and they were distributed around the entire building ship. Most of the Bohai soldiers
The soldiers were still blocking the Taihu soldiers from boarding the ship, so there were less than a hundred people who could actually fight the Liaodong soldiers, and their number was even lower than Zhou Lie's Liaodong soldiers.
The two sides fought fiercely on the ship, with the Liaodong soldiers even gaining the upper hand, and Zhou Lie led a group of people forward to slash and kill. Look at their posture, they were actually going to kill the thieves and capture the king.
What's even more terrible is that the Liaodong soldiers rebelled on the battlefield, causing the building ship to require many people to fight. The defenses around the building ship immediately showed flaws. Taihu soldiers took the opportunity to climb onto the deck by hook ropes, and saw the Liaodong soldiers and Bohai
The soldiers were killed in a group. Although I don’t know what happened, the Liaodong soldiers were also soldiers of the Tang Dynasty after all. Those Taihu soldiers did not have to make any hesitant choice between the Liaodong soldiers and the Bohai soldiers. They directly swung their swords and followed the Liaodong soldiers to kill Bohai.
