The battle did not last long, and the besieged Dashi warships were sunk, only the pointed masts were exposed on the river surface.

"Half?" Famaitu murmured in amazement.

""It's so fast, it's sank?" Deputy General Yaxin opened his mouth wide in surprise, and could hold an egg.

The breath of gunpowder had not dissipated, and only ripples were left on the river. In less than half an hour, seven or eight intact ships actually sank into the bottom of the river under the bombardment of artillery. "So big sea ship was actually sunk by artillery?" The pirates of Song looked at this scene in disbelief. For pirates, sea battles were nothing more than arrow shooting, jumping gang wars and fire attacks. Most of them used jumping ships to solve the opponent's opponent's soldiers to connect. The sea ships were much stronger than ordinary river ships, and the storm was heavy, so it was difficult to use water ghost ships to dig a ship. It was not as cost-effective as the inland river bars. It was neither cost-effective nor possible for pirates. Seeing the seven or eight large sea ships sinking and lowered by the artillery of the official army, the pirates took a breath of air conditioning and felt a sense of fear.

"The iron cannon ship is so powerful?" A layer of yin clouds rose on Qiu Darui's face.

Although he had seen large-scale artillery battles in the north, the power of the navy's artillery was much beyond his expectations. What's even more terrifying is that the hull of the navy warship was so strong. He saw with his own eyes that several round iron bombs hit the side of the official army's warship, but not only failed to penetrate, but were bounced open by the hull. "I fell into a trap! If this continues, why are you still fighting?" Qiu Darui originally thought that the more than 20 warships appeared on the river were just front troops, and there were a large group of warships behind them, but now it seems that just a dozen warships here can make it difficult for pirate ships to get to the big and small battleships. The only chance of victory is to stick them on for close combat, but look at the clean and neat force of the gunship sinking the large man-cannibal warship. As soon as the pirate ship approached, it was probably equivalent to the living target of the official army.

The pirate leaders who were still talking just now stopped talking. At this time, no one could seek death.

"Damn it, coward!" Yasin cursed. His face looked very ugly, but this anger was more like a person. Yasin himself knew that the fierce artillery fire of the Song army warships made him fear. For a long time, he agreed that the warrior's scimitar could solve all problems, whether in the desert, grassland or in the sea. However, in the battle just now, the warship was sunk before the enemy's scimitar could even hurt a hair. The scimitar became useless. What else was more terrifying than this? However, as a warrior, Yasin was particularly angry at the fear he had. Driven by this strange emotion, he pulled out the scimitar and asked for battle loudly: "Your Excellency Commander, let me summon the warriors and defeat the Song people's army!"

The pirates and officers of the Song State of Great Food all looked over, and their surprised eyes were mixed with a little respect.

Yasin's self-esteem was somewhat compensated, while Abad looked at the colleague with a complicated expression, his lips moving.

Yasin is very close to him. He and the commander are from the same tribe. Although he has never mentioned it, Abad speculated that the young adjutant might even be in the same family as the commander. If he had not voluntarily asked for the battle, Famatu would never have let the deputy general take risks. However, it is precisely because of this that Yasin is very popular in the Dashi Navy. Everyone said that this is a noble boy who has experienced in expeditions and naval experience. This time, Yasin did such a heroic act of asking for battle for some reason, which made Abad look at him with admiration. However, the artillery fire of the Song people was too powerful, and the first group of people rushed up were in danger.

Abad did not do such a dangerous combat mission. Yasin's initiative to fight did not bring much response. The fierce artillery fire of the Song army really shocked everyone. The officers of the Dashi Navy usually looked rude and brave, but when it was really critical, they were all cunning like foxes and refused to rush forward. They could not delay such a critical moment, so it depends on what the commander should do.

"Your Excellency, please let me lead the warriors to open a path for you!" Yasin said loudly.

Famatu looked at him silently. The young lion in the family, but the things on the battlefield were not as noble as the bard described. The arrows behind him were more difficult to defend than those of the enemy. His face suddenly became severe. The difficult situation and the young courage of the younger generation awakened the elderly lion from confusion. Famatu looked at the officers and the pirates of the Song State. He understood everything in their minds. Although the Navy of Song State was powerful, he did not believe that the Sudanese navy might not be able to compete with each other.

"Very good, very good!" Famaitu reached out and patted Yasin on the shoulder and whispered, "Your mother and family are proud of you!"

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes as sharp as a knife. Under the gaze of the commander, Saifdin and Abhad both lowered their heads. Famatu was silent for a moment and shouted: "You are all warriors of the Sultan. Since the expedition to the East, countless battles have proved that you are the best warriors, you are a group of brave lions. In the battle to conquer the East, you show the high morale that I have never seen before. You have fought against enemies that are several times more than you, defeated them, and conquered them. More than dozens, hundreds of times, hundreds of times, and hundreds of times pagans trembled before the warriors of the Sultan. Your great achievements are enough to be compared with the great prophets. As your commander, I am proud of you. But now, what do you say? We have fallen into the trap of cunning pagans..."

Famaitu looked at the naval officers and raised his tone: "I am not a shrewd commander, but I believe that the True God is with his warriors, just as I believe in you, my children. Many battles have been lost before the beginning, because one side of the battle gave in his heart, and the cowards always have ten thousand reasons to prove that the battle will definitely lose, the lack of troops, the disadvantage of the terrain, the enemy's trap, and the long front line. But I want to say, this is all nonsense!"

"It's all nonsense!" Famaitu repeated, and the naval officers laughed, and he smiled slightly: "As warriors, what we need to do is not random thoughts, but fight with your firm beliefs like those warriors who follow the prophets! Let us make up our minds and fight for victory, and we will definitely win! I tell you, as long as the true God is with us, no matter what situation is encountered, no matter how cunning the enemy is, we will definitely win, no matter what situation happens, we will definitely win! Victory belongs to the warriors! This is the truth, this is the only unchanging truth in the world!"

The commander successfully aroused the Navy officers' enthusiasm for fighting. They cheered loudly.

"It's right!"

"Victory belongs to the Warriors!"

“The God is great!”

The emotions of fighting have infected everyone, as if they have been looking forward to fighting for a long time.

Everyone was so excited, and many people were secretly ashamed of the cowardly battle just now.

Famaitu pulled out his scimitar, pointed at the Song army warship on the river, and shouted: "This is the epic decisive battle we have long been looking forward to. We will defeat the pagans on the sea first. We must win. Victory will bring us everything, comfortable residences and women, piles of silk and gold and silver, and, to return to our hometown as soon as possible, we must let our descendants proudly recall the great achievements of today. When they mention each of us, they will say, my ancestors were warriors who conquered the East, go, children, fight! The true God is with us!"

The commander's words made the officers shout even more vigorously. After a moment, the officers drew out their scimitars and went to their respective warships to prepare for a decisive battle with the pagan navy. Yasin also said excitedly: "Your Excellency, where is my combat position?" As the deputy general of Famatu, Yasin did not directly control the army. Therefore, if Famatu did not set a specific combat position, he could not leave the commander's side.

"Your battle location is here."

"Why?" Yasin glared in surprise and said in dismay, "Your Excellency!"

"I promised your mother," Farmed Farmer and whispered: "I want to bring you back alive."

Famaitu closed his turbid eyes, and his passionateness when he spoke just now disappeared in an instant.

Famaitu lowered his head and sighed deeply. As the commander of the Expeditionary Force, he was not lacking in passion, nor did he lack brains. The Song army blocked the Pearl River estuary and could not break through without heavy casualties. The suggestion of the merchant Qiu Darui was completely unfeasible. The reason why pirates were strong was because they always had the sea as a way out, and sea ships were the biggest support for pirates. Once the ship was abandoned, the pirates would inevitably lose their fighting spirit. Not to mention breaking through the Dehai City, whether they could compete with the Song army on land was a problem.

The only way for the pirates to retreat is to break through the sea!

The trapped beasts are still fighting! The navy sinks the Dashi warship as if he stabs a hornet's nest. The pirate warships in the waters of Guangzhou quickly began to fight back. Whether it is the Dashi Navy or the pirates of the Song State, they all knew that the retreat was cut off by the Song army, which would be the beginning of the destruction. Therefore, except for a few people including Qiu Darui, the pirates almost instinctively gave up attacking the Hanhai City.

Whether it is war or fleeing, the pirates believed that they must first defeat the Song army warships that blocked the Pearl River's estuary.

Because the Dashi Navy and the Song pirates were not in harmony, Qiu Darui had no hope for the sea route and was unwilling to do his best to do his best. Therefore, although the number of pirate warships far exceeded that of the Song army, the formation and deployment were messy. Like attacking the Dehai City, the Dashi Navy ship was unwilling to take the lead alone, but instead let the Song pirates rushed in front. However, ordinary pirate ships rarely installed artillery, even the big ships. The river surface of the Pearl River was not wide enough, and the pirates rushed in total only five or six artillery pieces. Because there were too many pirate ships and the formation was too dense, the front blocked the view, and the artillery on the Dashi warship behind was also in a situation where they could not fire the artillery and fire the Song army warships.
