Chapter 220 Laying the Wall
At the mouth of Jishui River, the originally endless grassy beach has now turned into a sea of ​​people, cars and horses, making endless noise no matter day or night.

Dozens of makeshift trestles were lined with large and small ships docked on both sides, and people were constantly carrying various supplies onto the ships.

"The Chen thieves are here, with nearly a thousand large and small ships, and they have already invaded Laizhou." Wang Boyan reported to Zhao Gouhui who was enjoying the shade under the shade of a tree.

Qingzhou is close to the sea. In the summer, affected by the warm and humid monsoon, it will be particularly hot and muggy. Zhao Gou has lived in the inland city of Kaifeng since he was a child. He rarely experienced the heat that penetrates deep into his belly. The maid next to him was fanning a huge cattail leaf fan. It doesn't provide any relief from the heat.

"Why don't you come directly to Qingzhou?" Zhao Gou asked feebly.

"I don't know about that." Wang Boyan shook his head: "Do you want to prepare for war?"

"Nonsense, we need to inform the Jin people and ask them to provide support. Whether we can reverse the current passive situation of the imperial court depends on this battle." Waving his hands to disperse the serving maids around him, Zhao Gou waved Wang Boyan to come closer.

"How are you doing with the escape route I asked you to arrange?"

"Don't worry, as long as the war doesn't go well, we will immediately take a boat to go north, bypass the entire Bohai Sea, resupply in the Liaodong Peninsula, then head southeast, bypass the Shandong Peninsula, and go south into the Yangtze River." Wang Boyan replied.

"I don't know why? I always feel that this road will not work." Zhao Guo frowned. Now he only hopes that he can defeat Chen Thief in this naval battle so that he does not have to wander at sea.

……

"Captain, here's a letter. The joint fleet of the Jin people and the Koreans has arrived at Majiazhuang Town, Binzhou, less than a hundred miles away from the entrance of Jishui." Ke Lei found Chen Xun who was racing in Haicang Town.

The war was about to start, so Chen Xun specially pulled Xiao Hei out of the zoo to let him adapt to the climate of the Bohai Bay.

"Okay, this golden man is really ink. He actually traveled two days on a waterway of more than 200 miles." Turning the horse's head, the two of them immediately returned to the port.

Soon, the entire Chen Jiajun navy left Haicang Town and headed towards the entrance of Jishui.

Sunset and sunrise, it was early morning on July [-]th.

First emerging from the sea level, what appeared in Chen Xun's eyes was not the coastline of Qingzhou, but the endless masts.

On this day, the wind was sunny and the water was almost calm. The ship was moving forward slowly under the breeze.

It is obvious that today's naval battles must rely on human oars to provide power.

"You are still in charge today, and I will build the outer wall." Chen Xun ordered towards Ke Lei.

"Take the order, Commander!" Ke Lei performed a standard military salute.

After getting off the flagship, they transferred to the speedboat that had been prepared. Accompanied by ten escorting speedboats, the small fleet quickly left the large force and sailed towards the north.

From a distance, Chen Xun saw that the enemy and our fleets were getting closer and closer. The sails on the Chen family's navy began to slowly lower, and the oars stretched out from both sides of the ship.

One stick of incense later, the small fleet was already more than ten miles away from the main fleet in the north-south direction: "Turn west!" Chen Xun ordered.

After another incense stick, sporadic Jin warships appeared in front.

"Captain, do you want to continue moving forward?" Chen Zhuang asked.

"Continue!" Chen Xun stretched his hand out of the side of the boat, plopping, splashing one after another on the surface of the sea, one after another huge black shadows appeared under the surface of the sea.

"Eight Claws! Take your brothers and clear the way for me." Chen Xun ordered towards the giant squids under the water.

The black shadows were very obedient and immediately gathered into a group and rushed towards the west.Soon, piercing screams were heard from the Jin warship ahead. One by one, Jin soldiers were thrown off the ship and fell into the water, struggling for help.The ship lost control and started spinning in circles.

"Never mind, speed up!" Chen Xun ordered.

According to previous investigations by spies on the shore, the Jin warships did not join the Song warships, but were more than 20 miles apart, stationed in the northern and southern waters of the Jishui River estuary.

Chen Xun guessed that the enemy planned to attack Chen Jiajun in two groups. It was also possible that the Song army would attract Chen Jiajun's attention, and then the Jin army's warships would circle back.

Facing the enemy's tactics, Chen Xun had only one idea: Let him come in any way, I will only go all the way!

The main battlefield was commanded by Ke Lei. While trying to save his own warships, he mobilized the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces to buy time for Chen Xun to lay out the King Squid Wall.

"Captain, we will arrive at the coast soon." Chen Zhuang reminded.

"Turn around immediately!" Chen Xun ordered.

The eleven clippers immediately lowered their sails, turned their bows, and started paddling vigorously.

Heading east there is a headwind and the paddling speed will be much faster.

Chen Xun's hand stretched out the side of the boat again, and more intensive plopping sounds began to sound one after another than before.It's like holding a giant brush with unlimited ink in your hand. Wherever the ship passes, the sea water is dyed darker.

"Don't let any ship pass!" Chen Xun kept ordering from the sea.

Soon, the small fleet sailed back to the place where it had just turned. Without Chen Xun's order, the fleet turned south again and the tired sailors were replaced by new forces to maintain the speed of the fleet.

"Commander, look, they are engaged in battle." Chen Zhuang reminded.

The naval battle in the southwest officially started. As soon as Ke Lei started, he showed all his trump cards. The roar of huge artillery fire came from far away and could still be heard clearly from a distance of more than ten miles.

Chen Xun didn't reply, and concentrated on enlarging the king squid from the zoo. Chen Zhuang said to himself: "It's too far, I can't see clearly."

After sailing to the route that the main fleet had just passed, Chen Xun stopped and looked in the direction of the battlefield.

At this time, the navy of the Chen family had already circled to the south of the Song army's warship, while the Jin-Gao coalition forces were to the north of the Song army, avoiding being flanked by the two enemy armies.

"Send the order to Ke Lei and tell him to slip around and return." Chen Xun ordered.

"Yes!!" The carrier pigeon flew up, and five clippers broke away from the fleet and headed towards the battlefield.

The battlefield is now in chaos, and carrier pigeons may not be able to accurately convey messages. Clipper communications are for an added layer of insurance.

"Let's continue." Leaving two boats as gates, Chen Xun directed the remaining boats to sail south for a mile before continuing to build the wall.

This mile-wide blank area is the passage reserved by Chen Xun for Chen Jiajun's navy.

The current intelligence of the King Squid has only been strengthened once. Chen Xun did not ensure that they could absolutely distinguish between ourselves and the enemy during a battle, so he reserved a passage for the Chen family's navy to pass through, and he would complete this section at the last moment to defeat all the enemies. Circle inside.

After heading south for another ten miles, Chen Xun turned west and continued to complete the last of the three walls.
