This all happens in just a few seconds.

What made the big eater even more desperate was that at least twenty ships began to take on water.

This means these ships are going to sink.

The crew above jumped into the sea in despair, and some lay on the deck in a mess.

Tang Zijian saw that the cannibal's ship was only about five meters away from the Song army's ship, and slowly stopped.

He originally thought that the man-eating ship would hit him, but now he realized that he was wrong.

Still lack of practical experience.

In a naval battle, as the distance between the ships of both sides decreases, the speed will slow down. This is to prevent the ship from crashing too fast.

Who would just walk to death before the outcome is decided?

Of course, some ships continued to slowly approach the Song warships.

The Song army's attack was not over yet.

After the artillery impact, firecrackers followed immediately.

Each ship is equipped with 100 gunmen, 50 on each side.

They lit the match rope on the fire blunderbuss. The match rope burned and smoke rose, and then the gunpowder in the fire blunderbuss was ignited.

Bang bang bang...

Pieces of iron sand were sprayed towards the man-eating ship opposite.

The concentrated lining up of the spray made up for the weakness of the lack of accuracy. Those giant eaters who were not hit by the artillery immediately tried the power of the fire cannon.

Some people's faces were bruised and bloody, their eyes exploded, and they screamed and fell to the ground.

Some people's chests were hit so hard that their flesh and blood exploded, and iron sand even entered their internal organs, spraying them into sieves.

Even many of the ropes connecting the sails were broken by the impact of the dense firecrackers, and the sails began to deform.

The hull began to tilt, and the giant cannibals on the deck fell into the sea one after another along the slope.

Fireguns are one of the basic firearms of the Song Navy. Every warship of the Song Army is equipped with them, and it is a standard tactic for all warships to use fireguns immediately after firing the artillery.

28 ships, with a total of 2,800 muskets, fired at the man-eating warship one after another.

Intense fire made up for the artillery coverage gap.

The Great Eater never imagined that there would be such a terrifying weapon next.

Many people had no time to escape and died under the fire.

The remaining people either lay on the deck shivering and shouting, or ran frantically towards the hatch of the ship.

When Su Jing and other merchants saw this scene, they were stunned.

The big man-eating warship that was so arrogant just now was beaten into such a mess in the blink of an eye!

Of course, even Song Jun himself couldn't believe it.

Their current state is that their heartbeats are racing, they are extremely shocked, extremely excited, and their brains are somewhat blank.

Istaheli was completely confused.

Some of the man-eating warships were bombarded to the sides and decks of the ships and did not sink.

Those ships were still slowly approaching the Song army's warships, and soon came closer.

In the panic, some of the cannibals who were not hit by the firecrackers raised their knives and shouted loudly: "Attack! Attack!"

They rushed towards the Song army with quick movements.

They were greeted by bows and arrows.

The first group that just rushed forward were shot by bows and arrows.

Immediately afterwards, someone came to kill him fiercely with a knife. Before he could swing the knife, he was hit in the head by the axe-hand of the Song Army who had prepared it.

When the ax was pulled out, there was still sticky liquid and bone fragments on the blade.

All other swordsmen also took action.

The Great Eater himself was severely intimidated by the artillery, and his morale was suppressed. Now that he was forced to approach the ship and fight hand-to-hand, he was no match for the Song army.

The war situation presented a one-sided situation.

Soon, the Song army began to take the initiative. They jumped onto the cannibal warship and began to fight back.

The fighting will of some big cannibals quickly collapsed, and they rushed to the cabin and shouted heartbreakingly: "Evacuate quickly! Evacuate quickly!"

At this point, it's too late to withdraw.

Li Bao stood on the main ship. He calmly watched the cannibal warships on the opposite side sink into the sea, and saw countless cannibals, Persians and Srivijaya being killed.

He knew that he had won this time.

But at this time, he had not yet fully realized that this naval battle would change the pattern of the eastern and western seas.

Even the butterfly effect brought about by this naval battle will have a huge impact on the Jin Kingdom and the nomads in the distance.

Time passed quickly, and at noon, the last resistance of the cannibals was suppressed, and the Song army won a complete victory.

Almost none of the fifty warships of the cannibal could escape.

Nearly half of them sank, and the rest that didn't sink were also devastated.

Istaheli himself was killed by a cannon, and nearly half of his thousands of troops were killed in the battle, while the rest either surrendered or were at sea.

Some of those in the sea were rescued, and some sank into the sea.

At one o'clock, the Song army docked at Linga Port as the winner.

The merchant ships there were all silent.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Song Jun announced his identity and purpose.

This incident spread in the seaport, and all Song merchants rushed to tell each other, and they were all very happy.

After Pu Luoxin settled the remaining cannibals, he went to report to Li Bao.

"Manager Li, I have already reached an agreement with those big cannibals."

"Are they willing to cooperate with you?"

"willing."

"Why should you believe them?" Li Bao said.

"Business on the sea is the livelihood of these people. They cannot give up. Even after Istakhli dies, they will still live, and their families will also live."

"Then how are you going to use them?" Li Bao asked again.

"These people are very familiar with the routes from the Song Dynasty, the South China Sea to Zhunian (the southernmost point of India), Gulin (Sri Lanka), the food country, and Egypt." Prosin said, "This is also a key to their survival.

"Tao, without these, it will be difficult for them to make a living. We need them, and they also need us."

Tang Zijian said: "Manager Li, what Brother Pu said is right. Our Nanhai Trading Company has always wanted to cooperate with this group of people and sent people to follow them on the ship to cultivate a large number of talents to open up the trade between the East and the West."

"How many more people are there?"

"There are still 734 people from the Great Eater, 326 people from the Chariot, and 2,314 people from the Srivijaya people."

"Can the food on the island support so many people?"

"Yes, the food on Lingga Island mainly comes from Sriwijaya."

"But now our relationship with Srivijaya may not be very good."

Prosin said: "So Srivijaya needs to accept this situation as soon as possible."

"Accept?" Li Bao looked at Pu Luoxin and said.

"Accept the change of ownership of Lingga Island."

"What your Majesty wants is not as simple as the small Linga Island." Li Bao said in a heavy and forceful tone. This blow to the cannibal made him realize the true strength of the Song Dynasty's navy.

"The big cannibals of Lingga Island suppressed the Song Dynasty's shipment prices to the West in the past. Now, although we have regained the pricing power, Srivijaya must take a share of it. As far as I know, from Lingya

All merchant ships leaving the country must pay a high road tax. Do you think His Majesty the Emperor can accept this?"
