When the sky turned from twilight to white, the sea water changed from indigo to light green, and the warning bell rang on the large-wing warship in the front, which meant that the fleet entered the shallow water from the deep water area. In the early morning, there was a thin sea fog floating on the east coast of the Yellow Sea - this is an inexplicable phenomenon. According to records, there should not be sea fog when entering the Yellow Sea in September, but the fog in front of us was very thick.

"How deep is the water?" Hong Liu stood on the deck of the stern building of Chaos and ordered the measurement of the water depth. As soon as the order was issued, he heard the continuous sound of drums that shook the sky and the earth. Qi Jun was right in front of him, although he could not see it.

The fleet headed to Zhifu Port, and the Dayi warships were rowing along the coast, without any intention of a surprise attack. In the plan of the Grand Sima Mansion, this was a process of gradual pressure: if you disagree, I would seize it; if you refuse, I would start a war. Yingdu must make Linzi understand that the State of Chu has decided to go to war with the State of Qi for the more than 1,700 fishing boats.

Xiang Yan's death not only hit the Zhao faction, but also hit the Qu and Zhao clans who were close to Qi. The Chu people, who were already quite xenophobic, did not have much favoritism towards Zhao Qi. Zhao was the Three Jins, and Chu and Jin fought for hegemony for a hundred years in the Spring and Autumn Period. Qi and Chu were also fighting for a hundred years in order to compete for the land on the Huai River. This is the reason why Qu Yuan would inevitably fail to join Qi in that year, and it is also the reason why Lu had always been close to Chu. King Ling Jiancheng Zhang Huatai, and only Duke Zhao of Lu invited all the princes to come.

Qi has been regarded as untrustworthy and useless by the Yingdu Zheng Dynasty. The general's habit is that once the concept is formed, it will be difficult or even impossible to change. Since the Grand Sima Mansion judged that Qin would attack Qi first and then attack Chu, it would be defeated so that Qin would attack Qi. In this way, Chu could win time to digest the old place that was recovered, and at the same time train new troops.

Now, Yingdu attempted to force Qi to surrender with unconcealed power, but such unconcealed intentions gave Qi troops time to prepare in the military. At the mouth of the Ji River, the Qi army discovered the Chu and Yue fleet heading south. When passing by Changdao, they were discovered by the Qi army Houzhou waiting here. The Qi army warships that quickly gathered in Zhifu did not wait at Zhifu Port under the command of Tian Wu, but went north to meet the enemy in the darkness.

The weather was suddenly cold in September, and the fresh water injected into the Yellow Sea rose and fog, which spread to the near sea. With the rare mist, more than 260 old-style wings of Qi army launched an impact against the drums. The closer the coast, the more dense the fog became. One old-style wing after another rushed out of the thick fog, and rushed to the Vietnam Warship closest to him with all his strength.

The Yue people who were on guard had no choice but to do anything. The big-winged warship was a three-oat warship. With the absolute speed advantage, they hit the Qi army's warship one after another. Each impact could knock the Qi army's warship into two pieces. In September, the waves on the sea surface were over five feet high. If the Qi soldiers and soldiers who fell into the water could not water, they would disappear without a trace if a wave hit.

However, the number of Qi army warships was twice that of the Yue people who were exploring the way forward. After the impact of the Yue people's wings, Qi army warships rushed from all sides. The Qi army soldiers on the deck held a three-meter-long hook sickle and tried to hook the big wing boat. The Yue people kept cutting off these hook sickle. When the hook sickle was slashed, the warships of both sides were tightly stuck together and a bloody hand-to-hand combat broke out.

Chaos-class gunboats had no hand, so they could only rely on ocean currents and spinnakers to push southward, so the gunboats were at the end of the fleet. Because of the mist, the red wall standing on the deck of the stern building could not see clearly that the Yue people's big wing warships in front were engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Qi people, but he could hear the shouts of the soldiers of the two armies in the drums. The big wing warships have always fought by impact, and shouting and killing means that they were surrounded by the enemy and had to start hand-to-hand combat.

Given that the enemy's formation and number could not be seen clearly in the mist, Hong Shu could only order to retreat. The sound of the sound of the ringing echoed above the waves according to his order. Zuo Wuzhu and others were very dissatisfied with Hong Shu's retreat order. However, the Grand Sima Mansion had authorized Hong Shu to command this naval battle. They dared not speak out, and could only lead the warship to slowly retreat.

The enemy warships were fighting in the fog, forcing the Chu army, who had never been defeated, to retreat. The Qi army immediately shouted long live. Except for five of the dozen large-winged warships that were jumped to escape, the rest were attacked and destroyed by the Qi army. The soldiers of the Qi army cheered, but Tian Wi, the general of the boat army, was completely unhappy. He knew that the Qi army had been defeated from the moment the Chu army was Mingling.

"Let the fireboat!" he ordered loudly.

"The general has his life: release the fireboat!" In order to facilitate communication, the Qi army's warships were very close in the thick fog. After Tian Wu's order came out, the fireboats around him were lit one by one. The fireboats were hung with sails dismantled from the fishing boats. Under the southeast wind, the fireboats quickly headed north. Unfortunately, the two armies were not in a state of melee at this time. Not only could these fireboats not chased the extremely fast Big Wing warships, but they could not even catch up with the Chaos-class gunboats and Shaosiming-class seaboats.

Qi's fire ships were next to each other, forming a dense chain of fire. The anger of Zuo Wuzhu and others who witnessed the fire ship disappeared without a trace. If the red wall did not have a sound, the two armies would be fighting together at this moment. Even if the fire ship could not burn the warship, they would probably have to be in a hurry to get rid of the dual attacks of the Qi army's warship and fireship.

Seeing that the fire ship Zuo Wuzhu and others had relieved their anger, the red wall couldn't help but chuckled. The two men used all their tricks, but the losses they brought to their own side were minimal. As long as the sun came out, the fog dissipated, they would be pressed and beaten. When he chuckled, the Chaos, equipped with a full sail, was retreating at full speed. The fire ships were very close at first, but the back became farther and farther away. When no one was driving the sail, the fire chains formed by the fire ships were either broken by the wind and waves, or they were sucked and sucked into each other until the entire ship burned out and sank into the not-deep seabed.

When the fog finally dissipated, when the Chaos Sails went south again, Zhifu Mountain was already in the red Lu Li Mirror. The mountain was covered with fiery maple leaves, and the foot of the mountain was Zhifu Port several times larger than before. During the fishing season, fishing boats were densely docked in the harbor, and some even dragged to the shore, and the boats were on the beach.

The sea far away from the harbor was the Qi army warships that had just fought in the fog. Now they were arranged in extremely densely, with the bow facing the north, trying to fight against the impact of the large-wing warships of the army. These warships were covered with feather flags, and on the deck were soldiers holding hook sickles. At the end, there were flags hanging in the middle of the warships. That was the Qi general Tian Wu's ship.

The Chaos was on the Red Bull, and the Lu Lijing looked at Tian Wu on the warship, and the Tian Wu's Lu Lijing also looked at the Chu Yue fleet getting closer and closer. He was familiar with the Yue people's big wing warship, and he was also familiar with the Shaosiming-level sea boat, but he didn't understand the Chaos gunboat: If the Chaos was a supply sea boat that transported food and fodder, why did the Red Bull flag hang on the supply sea boat? If the Chaos was a warship, how would the sea boat that could not see the weapons fight?

The Chu and Yue fleet was approaching. The six Chaos-class gunboats lined up a thin horizontal formation like infantry arrays. On both sides of the horizontal formation were the large-winged warships of Yue people. They gathered together like hedgehogs, controlling their speed of advancement in parallel with the Chaos-class gunboats. Behind the horizontal formation were one big and two small, three Shaosiming-class sea boats. Zuo Wuzhu and others looked at the Qi army warships in the distance, and at the same time watched every move on the Chaos.

Since Goujian, the people of Yue have been both close and afraid of Chu. It is because Chu often wins over itself and gives it many benefits; but they are afraid that Chu can give it benefits, and backhand can also bring it nightmares. Shaosiming-class sea boats, large-wing warships are better than all other sea boats and warships, but now Chu has built an unheard of gunboats. Twenty-four cannons are loaded on a ship, which is more and larger than the artillery equipment of an infantry division. How can such a weapon be seen carefully?

The shoulder pole formation of the Chuyue fleet was getting closer and closer under the push of the sea current. When the two sides were only four hundred steps away, Tian Wuqi, who didn't want to wait, pointed in front of the flag flag, and the drums on the warship sounded again. As the soldiers shouted, the dense formation of Qi army rushed forward, and the formation gradually became messy.

Lean up! Only by leaning up and jumping to fight against the Qi army can you have hope of victory.

The Qi army rushed over. The red wall on the Chaos did not order to attack the large-winged warships on both wings, but instead ordered them to stop advancing. The military orders were like mountains, and the warships and the Yue soldiers could only watch the six Chaos-class gunboats transformed into cone formations left and greeted the Qi army's warships that rushed towards them.

The old-style large wings of the Qi army did not hit the corner. Seeing the Chu army's sea boats rushing alone, they burst into cheers. When the two armies faced each other, the Chu army's large wing warship stopped in place and did not dare to rush in. This was obviously a sign of cowardice. Unfortunately, the Chu people's sea boats were too high, and even if they were not squeezed away, they could not jump to the gang.

They could only shoot arrows, or hook the freeboard of the sea boat with a hook sickle to try to board the Shanghai boat, but this effort was futile. The distance needed for the armored soldiers to climb was too long, and they were hit by the spears stretched out from the sea boat or the arrows shot out of the sea.

From Tian Wang's perspective, the six sea boats that were approaching him in a cone-shaped array looked like six giants, surrounded by a circle of dwarfs. They wanted to climb the sea boat but couldn't figure it out, so they could only passively follow the sea boat back.

"Father, the people of Chu must be cheated!" The sea boats got closer and closer, and the cone formation gradually turned into an unstandard column. Tian Pu next to Tian Wu felt strong uneasy. When he spoke, he felt that the red walls deep in the Qi army's boat formation were ordering in a deep voice: "Open the cannon door."

"Open the gun door!" The order was passed to the artillery deck, and the gun doors on both sides of the ship opened one after another. Before the gun door was opened, the Qi people on the warship thought it was a paddle hole. They stabbed the hook sickle several times but did not open it. At this time, the gun door opened, and the hook sickle immediately hooked the lower end of the gun door. It was not as tall as the freeboard here, so it was easy to climb up.
