Chapter 186 Naval Battle
() "General, general, the Qin army is here!" Han Yong was fully clothed and sitting in the lobby. When he heard that his personal entourage was coming to report, he immediately shouted: "Well done!" With that, he waved his command,
He stepped out and walked out.
On the southern coastline, smoke was billowing. Judging from the number of smoke, the number of Qin warships was just over three hundred, which was exactly within the range he expected.
Han Fu came closer and snorted coldly: "The King of Qin is looking for death, so you can't blame us. With a few to defeat the masses, it may be possible on land, but in a sea battle, huh! Our army is all fighting ships, I really don't know
Should I praise him or scold him?" ..
Han Yong waved his hand: "Okay, don't underestimate the enemy, send the order, board the ship and leave the shore!"
"Dong dong dong~~" The cowhide drum was beaten heavily, and groups of sergeants and sailors rushed to their warships in an orderly manner.
Not long after, the warships left the port in batches and formed a loose formation relying on the water village.
Gradually, Han Fu felt that something was fishy, so he turned around and asked: "Father, judging from the time when the smoke was ignited, the Qin army should have appeared a long time ago. Why hasn't a ship been seen for so long? Is it because Feng Sui's observation was wrong?
, or is the Qin army’s target not us at all?”
Han Yong was also anxious about waiting, but he had no choice. Three hundred ships seemed huge, but the sea was infinitely vast. If he was not careful, the fleet would disappear. Before Han Yong could get the accurate position of the Qin army, he
No matter what, he did not dare to leave the port easily, for fear that the Qin army would come back and take advantage of the opportunity to capture the water stronghold, and he
Although they resorted to tricks in the water stronghold, they were only used as a last resort to kill each other, or to block the enemy's pursuit. They would not resort to it easily. As for leaving some ships to defend the stronghold, Han Yong never considered it at all. Although
He couldn't name the refueling tactic, but he still understood the principle of powerful concentration.
..
Han Yong frowned and muttered: "Feng Sui can't be wrong. The sea surface is not as good as the land, so how can he make a suspicious enemy plan? The problem must lie with the King of Qin." Then he ordered to the left and right: "Send a few speedboats to go out to sea to search.
, let’s see what King Qin wants to do?”
"Yes!" With a wave of flags, three long and narrow speedboats specially used for reconnaissance sailed in three directions.
About half an hour later, the clipper from the middle route was the first to return. He called from a distance: "General, the Qin army has formed a formation on the sea thirty miles east of the water village and is waiting."
"Huh?" Han Fu was startled and couldn't help but said, "What are you trying to do? Are you planning to set up an ambush in the sea?"
Han Yong turned around and glared, saying dissatisfied: "How to set up an ambush in the sea? We are very familiar with this area of the sea. Five miles away from the water village, the water depth is more than 20 feet. How can he sneak into the seabed and set up trip wire obstacles?"
"This" Han Fu was speechless. He really couldn't figure out Yunfeng's intention.
"If you don't understand, don't think about it. I'm afraid he won't be able to achieve anything!" After saying that, Han Yong shouted: "Send the order. The whole army will attack!"
"Dong dong dong~~", amidst the passionate war drums. Nearly five hundred battleships formed a loose formation and galloped towards the sea. Everyone on board was complacent and outnumbered. What's the point of fighting at home?
Worried? What’s more, even if the Qin army can invite Jiang Mingxiang, we can also invite the East China Sea Green Dragon King in the sea!
Riding the wind and waves, the Qin army's fleet gradually became clearer. Han Yong and the surrounding generals were all shocked. The Qin army was not in the dense charging formation they imagined, but in a large loose formation, or in other words,
There was no formation at all, and the gaps between the ships were simply unimaginably large.
"Hahahaha~~" Han Fu couldn't help laughing wildly and said: "Father, you see, King Qin is at a disadvantage in terms of the number of ships, but instead of concentrating all his efforts, he divided the fleet into two formations, the front one was about two hundred ships, and the back one was hundreds.
Is it possible that the habit of coming to a ship and saving one's hand in battle is just a habit developed by riding horses on land? This King of Qin is really looking for death!"
"Hahahaha~~" The generals on the ship also burst into arrogant laughter. In their opinion, Yunfeng did not understand water warfare at all and was a typical layman who commanded an expert.
Han Yong was also very relieved. However, as a general, he still retained some clarity. He pointed forward and reminded: "I always feel that something is fishy. Please see, none of the Qin army's ships are equipped with heavy iron."
The awl, this is obviously his most powerful weapon, but he abandoned it, why on earth did he have it?"
It turned out that after the ballista equipment was put on the ship, Yunfeng ordered the iron cone on the bow to be removed. Since the enemy can be attacked from a distance, why use a hard collision to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred? And remove the big iron cone.
, it can also reduce the dead weight and increase the flexibility of the ship.
Han Fu laughed loudly and said: "Father, besides Jiang Ming's appearance, what else can he rely on? Let's worship the Green Dragon King of the East China Sea quickly and strive for a quick victory. Maybe we won't delay the soldiers' dinner!"
Although Han Yong had fully empathized with Yunfeng's perspective, he really couldn't guess Yunfeng's thoughts, so he simply put it aside, turned around and ordered: "Come here, put the incense table and the boys and girls together."
Please come out!"
Soon, the sergeants carried the incense case and put it on the bow of the ship, followed by twenty young children with their hands tied behind their backs, ten men and women, all with handsome features and less than ten years old. At this time, their faces were full of expressions
He was full of fear, as if he had foreseen his own tragic fate.
Han Yong led the generals to kneel down to the desk, muttering something in his mouth, with a very pious expression. After a short while, everyone stood up one after another. Han Yong coldly swept away the boys and girls, and shouted: "Sacrifice to the East China Sea.
Azure Dragon King!"
Forty sergeants immediately rushed forward, two of them lifted up and walked towards the side of the ship. In an instant, there was a loud cry!
"Help, let go quickly!"
"You bad guys will be punished!"
"Mom, where are you? Niuniu is so scared! Wuwuwu~~"
The pleading child's voice had no effect at all. There were hundreds of people on the boat, and no one's face showed signs of unbearable, struggling, or helpless. Instead, they were full of expectations, as if the Green Dragon King of the East China Sea had accepted the sacrifice.
It seems that I will bless them.
"Plop! Plop!" Splashes of water splashed, and the cries were instantly drowned by the waves. Through the clear sea water, one could see young bodies gradually sinking toward the bottom of the sea in the rolling waves.
"Beast!" Xun Guanniang, who was holding a telescope, couldn't help shouting angrily: "The Han Yong dog thief actually sacrificed a young child to the sea. He really deserves to die!"
Yu Wenjun was also angry and clenched his fists tightly, and said bitterly: "General, we cannot let Han Yong run away, we must let him suffer to death!"
Yun Feng nodded fiercely, with a cold gleam in his eyes, and turned around and shouted: "Give Xie Shang a signal, this battle must annihilate all the Korean and Yonghai pirates, leaving no one alive!"
The flag message was immediately sent to Xie Shang's command ship. The scene of Han Yong sacrificing a child to the sea also fell into the eyes of Xie Shang and Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan was better off. After all, he was mature and prudent. Although his face darkened, he could control his emotions, while Xie Shang's slightly dark face had turned blood red.
Jiang Yan immediately reminded: "The way to be a general is to have a calm mind, be calm and calm, and also to look in all directions, listen to six directions, and not be moved by the local situation. Han Yong committed a heinous act, and the retribution is right in front of him. General Xie cannot
I’m distracted by him!”
Like a basin of cold water that extinguished the raging anger, Xie Shang turned around and saluted: "What Old General Jiang said is true. Shang has learned his lesson."
Jiang Yan nodded, stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "General Xie, there is no need to be polite. I am old after all. In the future, I will have to rely on you. Okay, the enemy ship is about to enter the course. General Xie, please prepare!"
Xie Shang showed a trace of gratitude in his eyes, not only for Jiang Yan's selfless guidance, but also for the opportunity given by Yunfeng. He understood that Yunfeng's intention was not only to allow him to take revenge, but also to help him become a qualified person.
Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.
To this day, Xie Shang still vividly remembers the surprise and fear he felt when Yun Feng promoted him as Navy Commander three years ago. At that time, he was only fifteen years old and a fair-faced young man who knew nothing.
However, during his three years as a naval officer, he found that he had become deeply
Falling in love with the ship life, especially the fiasco last year, made him feel like he was reborn from the ashes. He devoted his whole heart to the navy. If he were asked to change the command of the infantry and cavalry at this time, he would be extremely
Not used to it. Xie Shang can no longer leave the ship.
The thought flashed away, and the number of enemy ships became more and more clear in his eyes. The ferocious face of the soldier on the bow, the black mole on his face, and even the black hair on the mole were all visible. Xie Shang was pleasantly surprised.
I found that I was not nervous at all, and had truly entered a state of tranquility!
Xie Shang's tone was calm, and he turned around and ordered: "Send the order, fire oil bombs, and be sure to keep a distance from the enemy ships!"
The messenger sent out a burst of flags.
"Buzz buzz~~" Groups of burning fireballs rose into the sky, flying nearly a thousand steps with a faint black smoke, and hit the Han Yong fleet!
Although the turbulence of the ship's hull and the excessive distance caused the kerosene bombs to miss their target, and most of them fell into the sea, there were always a few unlucky ships that could not hold up the opposite ships. The kerosene bombs hit the sails and immediately ignited.
The fire soared into the sky and hit the deck. The flying kerosene swallowed everything within a few feet into the sea of flames. Some of the kerosene that hit the side of the ship would stick to them, spitting out tongues of flame and burning the hull.
"Thump, thump!"
Figures covered in fire stumbled into the sea one after another, and soon after, extremely miserable screams came from the sea. Although the sea water can extinguish the flames, the wounds have been soaked in salt water. How can the pain be experienced by ordinary people?
Can you bear it?
Hearing the shrill and tragic howl of a slaughtering pig on the sea, Yu Wenjun looked relieved and cheered loudly: "You deserve it! I asked you to sacrifice a child to the sea? Now it's time to taste what it's like to jump into the sea.
, beat, beat hard! All jump into the sea to feed the fish!"
Xun Guanniang was so shocked that she couldn't believe it for a long time: "How is this possible? How can such a small trebuchet be so powerful?" She is still used to calling the crossbow a trebuchet.
Although it is on the bow of the ship and can be seen every day, the name cannot be changed.
Yu Wenjun corrected him: "Master, this is not called a trebuchet, but a ballista! It is a new weapon made using new techniques."
