The silk felt good to the touch, and the light was very warm. Huangfu Gong was very satisfied with Cui Rong's return gift, and quickly forgot the troubles of being frustrated during the day's battle.

As for the rule that women are not allowed to be brought into the army, and whether Cui Rong's move was a knowing and deliberate offense, he had no time to care.

All the rules of the Goryeo Kingdom are made for ordinary people. The children of their eight wealthy families have already stepped outside the rules from the first day they were born.

"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo -" In the middle of the night, there was suddenly a loud horn sound, which woke Huangfu Gong from his sleep. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed a handful, but the "silk" was still there. Opening his eyes,

He saw a panicked face.

"Sir, there's a fire, there's a fire outside." The girl with skin as smooth as satin cried in a low voice. There were still marks on her collarbone, chest and other places where the two of them had fun before going to bed.

This made Huangfu Gong very confused, and he couldn't tell whether he was having an erotic dream or whether he had just returned to reality from a dream. However, in the next moment, there was a series of more piercing screams, which quickly helped him verify.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack——"

"It's on fire, it's on fire, the Song people are coming to kill us. The Song people are setting fire to the boat!"

"Protect the capital commander, protect the capital commander. Fire the crossbow, fire the crossbow to stop the arson ship from approaching!"

…

"Here comes -" Huangfu Gong shouted, turned over and sat up, hurriedly grabbing his clothes to cover his naked body.

It was the Song Army who took advantage of their familiarity with the local hydrology to launch a fire attack at night! Huangfu Gong remembered that the Song Army had launched the same night attack at midnight the day before yesterday.

However, that time, the target of the arson attack by the Song army was the Chinese squadron directly under Cai Renyuan. At that time, he, Che Li, and Cui Rong tacitly chose to stand by and watch.

But this time, the damn Song Army actually did the same thing to him!

"Protect the young master!"

"Protect the capital commander!"

"Master, be careful..."

Huang Fuliang, the commander of the guards, stumbled into the dormitory with seven or eight brothers. Everyone's face was full of anxiety, "Commander, it's not good..."

"Why are you panic? Help me put on the armor quickly! There are not many people in the Song army. As long as we hold our own, they won't be able to take advantage of it and leave!" Huangfu Gong raised his foot and kicked Huangfu Liang, who was closest to him, and interrupted loudly.

.

This is his experience based on the situation reported by the informants placed around Cai Renyuan.

That time, if Cai Ren could keep his composure and dispatch his troops calmly, the losses could at least be reduced by half.

Even if Cai Renyuan mishandled the response at the time, in fact, the Song Army only burned more than a dozen warships. The remaining losses were all caused by Cai Renyuan's soldiers being too panicked and the warships colliding with each other. They should not be counted as the Song Army's at all.

Result!

"Hey, hey, don't panic, my subordinates don't panic!" Huang Fuliang's soldiers were all worried, but they didn't dare to complain, and responded loudly with a red face. Then he plucked up the courage to remind him, "

Qi Du Commander, it’s different. This time the Song Army came with many ships, really many ships! There are arson ships everywhere in the harbor! Commander Du, please quickly order the anchor to be weighed. Taking advantage of the chaos, my subordinates will protect you and rush forward first.

go out."

"You're talking nonsense! The main force of the Song Army is in Dengzhou! How could they come here!" Huangfu Gong was so anxious that he pushed away the heads of his own soldiers and strode onto the deck.

The main force of the Song army is far away in Dengzhou. On the Daxieshu Island opposite Dengzhou, Cai Renyuan leads a fleet and is watching with eager eyes.

How could they, under Cai Renyuan's eyes, kill them all in Jiaowan without anyone noticing?

Someone must have made a mistake, someone must have been too panicked.

The main force of the Song Army could not rush over, and the number of defenders in Jiaoxi County was very limited. Even a night attack would not cause much damage to the Goryeo Squadron.

While cheering himself up in his stomach, Huangfu Gong raised his head and looked around. In an instant, it was like being doused with cold water!

The surrounding area was already as bright as daytime by the firelight. Without any effort at all, he could see hundreds of fishing boats and sampans, lighting bonfires and moving like barracudas in the harbor.

However, the warships under his command were suddenly attacked and had no time to weigh anchor, let alone dodge.

The brothers who were awakened from their sleep stood on the deck and tried their best to stop the fishing boats from approaching the warships. However, they could not stop this one, but they could not stop that one. In the end, they almost watched the fishing boats and the warships collide.

one place.

"Bang!" Due to the huge difference in size, the sound when the fishing boat and the battleship collided was very slight. However, a dazzling flame rose into the air against the side of the battleship.

The bow of the fishing boat was smashed, and half of the fish oil in the cabin flowed to the sea next to the battleship, and the other half was directly sprinkled on the side of the battleship.

The flames rolled against the sea surface and the side of the ship stained with fish oil, and in a blink of an eye they rolled onto the deck of the battleship. The naked Korean navy soldiers picked up buckets of water and sand and tried to extinguish the fire, but the effect was minimal.

"Weight anchor, weigh anchor. Inform all warships to lift anchor, and immediately row away from the coast after lifting anchor!" Not daring to continue watching, Huangfu Gong opened his voice and shouted desperately, "The water is wide, get rid of the Song army first, and then

The whole team fights back!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Several sentinel boats immediately rowed their oars and rushed around. The messenger stood on the bow of the boat, holding a conch in his hand, repeating Huangfu Gong's order over and over again, striving to make more helpless navy officers hear the commander in time.

's guidance.

The deck under Huangfu Gong's feet shook, and then began to move slowly. The sailors used windlass and ropes to pull up the huge iron anchor from the bottom of the water to reduce the fetters on the battleship.

More than forty oars were launched into the water at the same time, pushing the warship to move backward and away from the coast. Compared with the fishing boats and sampans used by the Song army to set fire, the warship under Huangfu Gong's feet was a giant. As long as it could increase its speed, it would rise

By raising the sail, you can smash through all obstacles and sail away.

Twenty feet away, another 120-material warship reacted faster than the one at Huangfu Gong's feet. It actually left the coast first, then quickly turned around, turned its bow towards the entrance of Jiaowan, and at the same time weaved bamboo pieces and reeds.

The mainsail was raised quickly.

"It's Cui Rong's new ship!" Huangfu Gong quickly recognized who the battleship belonged to, and his brows tightened again, "This guy has escaped from experience!"

Before he could decide whether to order his ship to pursue him and evacuate side by side with Cui Rong, three sampans suddenly flew past the water.

Cui Rong's ship immediately fired its crossbow to intercept, but because the sampan was too small and moved too fast, it failed to hit any target.

However, the athlete of the Song Dynasty on the sampan decisively used the torch in his hand to light the wooden oil drum at his feet. Then he jumped and quickly plunged into the sea.

The three uncontrolled sampans did not slow down at all and continued to approach it despite the rain of arrows shot from the battleships.

Ten steps, five steps, three steps, bang!

The sound of the impact was still minimal and was quickly drowned out by screams and the sound of waves.

The sampan shattered and capsized, and the burning wooden barrel fell into the water and continued to be pushed by the waves against the side of the battleship. One after another, each time, more fish oil and flames were sprinkled on the battleship.

In just a dozen seconds, Cui Rong's ship turned into a moving bonfire. Cui Rong himself, surrounded by his own soldiers, snatched a ship just like he did when he attacked Dengzhou Port.

Spare the sampan, abandon the ship and flee.

A whole group of fishing boats and sampans arrived erratically. The Song Army officers and soldiers on the boat obviously saw Cui Rong abandoning the ship to escape, but they did not attack him. Instead, they simply ignored him and pounced on another boat that had just started to raise its sails.

The Goryeo battleship.

The tinder was quickly ignited, and three sampans and a fishing boat broke away from the team and pounced on the target, just like a pack of wolves pounced on the cattle!

"Turn left, turn left, avoid fishing boats and sampans." A chill surged from the soles of his feet, and instantly rushed directly into Huangfu Gong's heart. He opened his throat and shouted again.

This time the Song Army was not conducting a small-scale sneak attack, but was trying to destroy all the Korean warships docked in Jiaowan. Oh my god, where did they come from? Why do they have so many fishing boats and sampans?

If there were so many Song troops in Jiaoxi City, why didn't they go out of the city to fight back during the day?

If they came from Dengzhou, why didn't Cai Renyuan send a warship to intercept them, and why didn't he send a sentinel to warn them?

Huangfu Gong couldn't think of an answer, and he didn't have time to think about it.

No matter where the Song army came from, it is a fact that they are launching a fire attack on the anchored Koryo fleet at this moment!

Only by speeding up his own ship before being targeted by the Song army can he avoid being burned to ashes along with the warships. Only then could Huangfu Gong have the opportunity to reorganize his team, launch a counterattack, or rush to the open sea with other warships.

Otherwise, today next year will be the death anniversary of himself and most of the Korean Navy.

"Turn the helm, turn the helm, and paddle to a place with sparse firelight first!"

"Song's military boats are small, and the firelight sticking to the water is them."

"Get away from them, don't let them catch up..."

On the battleship, Huangfuliang and others were shouting noisily. Then they steered the oars and turned the rudder to move the battleship as far away from the fire as possible.

Perhaps it was God's secret blessing. This time, Huangfu Gong's warship moved very smoothly. Soon, it was far away from the coast, avoiding the two groups of incoming Song troops. Then it raised its sails and rushed to the harbor quickly.

Entrance.

A blazing warship suddenly appeared in front. Huangfu Gong did not hesitate to order his ship to ram it, smashing it into pieces.

On a sampan that was escaping, someone waved desperately to the ship. Huangpu Gong didn't even think about identifying the other person's identity, so he directed the ship to rush past the sampan.

Compassion does not control soldiers. At this time, kindness to others is cruelty to oneself.

The situation in Jiaowan was calm, so the Song army dared to run rampant in fishing boats and sampans. When they reached the outer sea, it was dominated by Goryeo warships.

In the open sea, wind and waves alone can overturn a sampan, and there is no need for a Goryeo warship to waste crossbows.

"Send the order, all ships fight independently, rush out of the harbor, and regroup in the open sea!" Seeing that the surrounding sky and sea had turned dark again, Huangfu Gong took a deep breath and shouted the order.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo......

In fact, even without this order, the commanders on most Goryeo warships in the harbor knew what to do in the most sensible manner.

More than one warship threw away the Song Army's arson ship and, guided by the sound of conch shells, moved closer to Huangfu Gong's ship. Soon, a medium-sized fleet of about fifty warships was assembled again.
