The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Misuti, the governor of the Bosaro province of the Seljuk Empire, did not attract his attention at first after learning that the army had captured Shiguo. It was common for the vassal states in the empire to conquer each other, but when he learned that the enemy army was now

When we headed north along the Persian Gulf waterway, we could not ignore it. So we ordered people to track down the whereabouts of the fleet, but they disappeared as if they suddenly evaporated. Until a few days ago, someone reported that it appeared in the waters outside the mouth of the Arab River.

.

Misuti immediately realized that the enemy wanted to go north along the river mouth and pointed his finger at his city of Bosaro. He immediately rectified the army, recruited slave soldiers, led 200 warships of all sizes and sizes along the river, and ordered them to be stationed in Ukraine.

The navy in the Persian Gulf of Mgaisar Port quickly rushed to join the war. After receiving the order, the Persian Gulf Navy formed 300 warships of all sizes and sizes to meet, and the two armies combined and the total strength of one place reached more than 40,000.

Misuti commanded two ships to form a wide frontal search south. They not only had single-layer galleys for reconnaissance and rapid assault, but also double-layer galleys as main battleships. They also had more equipment

For tall three-layer galleys, a platform is built at the bow, stern and the center of the hull. Archers can be arranged and used as platforms for placing catapults to conduct long-range attacks on enemy ships and crew.

When the sun rose high and dispelled the smog on the sea, both sides discovered each other almost at the same time. Misuti immediately ordered the entire army to quickly lean on to fight the enemy, but found that although the enemy had hundreds of warships,

He did not dare to fight with them, but instead pulled the anchor and turned the rudder to flee south. He hurriedly ordered the huge fleet to follow him and chase him. The two fleets walked against the wind and entered the sea outside the Persian Gulf.

Seeing the enemy's continuous changes in courses, Misuti wanted to get rid of his fleet. But in panic, he seemed to be in a mess, and he actually went to the sky in the daytime. The course turned northwest and plunged into the Abdullah waterway. Misuti

Dale, he knew that it did not lead to the vast outer sea. Instead, it entered a maze, with small islands densely populated and complex waterways, it would be stranded if not properly installed. Large warships have difficulty turning in it, their speeds are reduced, and they cannot be used much.

He would catch up for a long time, so he ordered the fleet to shrink its formation and line up in a closer formation and follow it into the waterway.

Sure enough, the enemy's tall warships began to slow down, and the narrow channel between the two islands entered the Saibie waterway. But the crescent-shaped island of Walbai ahead was crossing the channel, forcing them to re-adjust the formation, so as to

A single column entered the strait. This was the best time to attack. Misuti urgently ordered his warships to speed up and chase after him, but the huge fleet of the Seljuk Navy was also blocked by the island. Although their ships were narrow and long and flexible,

However, because of the large number of warships, they can only be divided into two routes and bypassed from both sides of the island.

The strait is only about one mile wide and only three miles long. The sudden diversion caused the neatly arranged Seljuk fleet to mess up its formation, and everyone rushed into the waterway. For a moment, the narrow strait was crowded with warships. Because of the barrier, the

Each warship of Erzhu Navy installed a long wooden pulp, making the ships more crowded. The ships hit and beat each other, and the elbows were heavier and more chaos. The current frontier fleet finally sailed out of the strait and entered a slightly wider Saibiye.

On the waterway, I suddenly found that the enemy fleet was right in front of them. More than ten warships lined up in a horizontal line, blocking the waterway.

The most important tactic of the Seljuk naval warship is to force the enemy ship to stop. Then the marines hooked the enemy ship and boarded the ship to attack. Now the enemy ship stopped by itself, providing them with the best fighter planes.

But before the Seljuk forward fleet could reorganize its formation, they didn't even have time to prepare for the collision, they suddenly found that there was a sudden flash of flames on the side of the enemy warship, and with a loud bang, countless black iron balls roared and smashed

After entering the chaotic fleet, the battle started at this unexpected moment.

Faced with the whistling projectiles, the vanguard fleet was not timid. They played the flute and drum at the same time and launched an attack in the rain of bullets. But they soon realized that they had underestimated the power of the Song army's guns and found that this was not what they had met before.

The only way to get there was to be slow. The targetless catapult that shot stones was hit by it as hard as winning a lottery. And the volley of hundreds of artillery guns in front of him was an insurmountable barrage.

Its power is several times greater than that of the catapult. It was directly hit by the ship and killed everyone. Even if it was rubbed on the edge, it would fly with wood chips and the masts were broken.

After the attack, the Seljuk Navy's vanguard fleet did nothing and could not advance to the range of the bow and arrow, or even the catapult, but its own losses were extremely heavy, especially the warship hit by the flowering bullet, which smashed through the ship.

The plate fell into the bottom cabin and then exploded violently. It was impossible to avoid the wounds and injuries caused by the small cabin. The casualties caused by the preparatory paddlers were not replenished. The soldiers on the top deck also suffered huge losses, and the enemy ships launched the fire.

If the shotgun happens to hit the front of the warship, it will often sweep away the soldiers on it. The thick gangway board, the thick shield and the armor on it cannot block the flying tiny projectiles.

As the loss increased, the forward fleet was unable to support it and had to start retreating. However, the subsequent warships that had just bypassed the island were not clear about the situation of the battle ahead. They were as righteous as rainbows and rowed desperately to speed up to join the war, and the forward retreating

The forward fleet collided. Hundreds of Seljuk warships were crowded in the strait that was only two or three miles wide. Even the commander could not control the chaotic situation, and the subsequent warships in the strait were still desperately moving forward.

Crowd, making the situation even more confusing...

Misuti, who was still struggling in the middle of the strait, stood on the flagship and kept shouting loudly, wanting to understand the situation ahead and restore order and fight again, but all his efforts were in vain, everyone was like crowded in a small can.

It is difficult to turn over, and it will collide with each other when it moves. However, the enemy still seems to think the scene is not lively enough. I don’t know when the troops have landed on Walbai Island. They did not go into the sea to fight, but kept using artillery to drive some

Porcelain bottles and jars were ejected into the strait. These fragile jars immediately broke when they hit the warship, splashing out a black and viscous liquid that emitted a pungent smell, but no one knew what this was.

The Seljuk Navy soldiers not only had to avoid the collision of their colleagues, but also avoid the jars that fell from the sky from time to time. They were all busy and didn't care about the seemingly harmless liquid that flowed out for a while.

I just complained that after returning to the flight, I had to spend my energy to remove the 'black oil' that fell on the deck. I was careful to be stabbed by broken porcelain pieces, but at this moment I could only let them flow around. Of course, I couldn't help but avoid the walking individuals.

It is stained with some unknown liquids, and more liquids pollute the warship or flow into the sea water.

The sudden change in the plot is that someone suddenly discovered that the "black oil" would stick to Mars, and a flame would rise up to the sky and spread along the flowing traces. Being attacked by the enemy's fire is not new, but

However, Seljuk Navy soldiers found that whether it was to slap or splash sea water, these effective methods in the past could not extinguish them today, especially after pouring water, it would trigger larger flames.

There is no most unlucky, but even more unlucky. Those who had been stained with black oil on their bodies could not extinguish the flames on their bodies even if they jumped into the sea. Some people didn't even have time to jump into the sea and were swallowed by the flames. They howled and rolled until they were burned to black.

The charcoal disappeared. Wooden warships themselves are prone to burn, and in order to prevent seawater from erosion, they will be painted with anti-corrosion, which will increase the fire. The fire inevitably spreads, and the crowded ships are even more averted.

Inevitably, they were lit one by one like a lit firecracker. What was even more terrifying was that a fire ignited on the sea stained with black oil.

"Greek fire..." Misuti was stunned by the uncontrollable fire in front of him, and it also made him suddenly think of this terrifying weapon. The Greeks once defeated the arrogant Persians with it and brought them from thousands of ships.

The huge fleet of warships burned clean. Persians called this terrifying flame that could not be extinguished by water as 'hell fire'. Unexpectedly, this mysterious weapon that had disappeared for hundreds of years appeared here and was fortunate to touch it.

Get on.

Seeing this naval battle, Misuti was frightened to realize that the defeat was irreversible, so he had no choice but to order the fleet to retreat. However, it was not easy to withdraw from the crowded strait. After receiving the order, the remaining warships crashed east and west but were difficult to rush.

After being surrounded by one's own people, some fired warships became fire and spread the fire everywhere.

Misuti didn't care much about it, and directed the flagship to use its tall ship to sank several of its own warships that blocked the way, and fought out a bloody path, so that he could escape from the strait and stay away from the battlefield. At this time, the west of the settling sun was

Misuti, who escaped from birth, did not have a trace of joy of escaping from death. He looked back at the strait, the whole sky was red with flames, and thick smoke enveloped the entire battlefield, and the sea was filled with undercurrents.

Dead corpses, broken boat boards and broken oars. Seeing the tragic situation, he couldn't help crying, gathering the remaining troops who escaped from the strait and heading east!

The fire in the strait burned overnight before it gradually faded. A naval force that had been scattered across the Persian Gulf for hundreds of years turned into ashes and sank to the bottom of the sea. After a day of fighting, the Song army sank hundreds of enemy ships.

More than 300 enemy ships were burned down, more than 30 were captured, and only more than 40 enemy ships escaped, while only dozens of casualties were killed and none of them were destroyed, creating another glory of new warships.

Results!

When the Song Dynasty fleet appeared again at the mouth of the Arab River the next day, no one could stop them from entering. The fleet formed two columns and rushed upwards, rushing straight to the city of Bosaro, an important city in the Seljuk Empire...
