Chapter 202 Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai (Four)
One month later
Bohai Liaodong Bay
This sea area is located between Liaoxi County and Liaodong County. The largest island in the sea area is called Taohua Island. It was occupied by the Wang family decades ago and a port was built on it.
There are only more than a hundred people on Taohua Island, but at this moment there are a large number of ships, especially warships.
In order to cut off the food route, Wang Yan not only brought two hundred county soldiers, but also brought Wang's personal soldiers and many sailors.
This includes Lu Yanjun's pirate formation.
Fifty men were a ship, a total of seven warships, including six small warships and one medium warship.
Four small warships were led by four Wang family members, each with fifty Liaodong county soldiers, and one small warship was led by Lu Yanjun, with a total of forty-two pirates. Wang Yan personally led the medium warship, with a total of ten personal soldiers and one hundred security soldiers.
"set sail!"
"set sail!"
The seven warships set sail and headed to intercept the grain transport ships in Yuyang County.
...
Yuyang County
Yongnu County
At the dock, dozens of small cargo ships and several medium cargo ships are loading grain and salt to prepare to transport them to the front line.
The person in charge of commanding the fleet of this cargo ship was Geng Yan, the son of Geng Kuang, the prefect of Shanggu County.
Geng Yan is now a 23-year-old young man, full of passion and wants to make achievements.
A few months ago, all the counties in Youzhou, except for Liaodong, had nominally joined Liu Xiu.
Liaodong expressed good intentions and wanted to cooperate with Peng Chong and establish a chamber of commerce, but Peng Chong decided to launch a military strike against Liaodong under the persuasion of many Yuyang powerful men.
Geng Kuang, the prefect of Shanggu County, was Peng Chong's friend, so he sent troops to assist Peng Chong and sent his son Geng Yan to transport sea food and grass for Peng Chong.
"set sail!"
When the food and grass were loaded, the grain transport fleet also set sail and moved along the coastline.
Three days later
The transportation of grain by sea is indeed much faster than that on land. It has arrived in the western Liaoning waters in just three or four days. If it is land, it may take one month.
"Little Liaodong, you dare to hit stones with eggs, and you are overestimating your ability." A grain transport officer in the grain transport fleet said with disdain.
He has seen a bright future in which Liaodong was trampled by the coalition forces of the four counties and countless wealth was robbed by them.
"Haha..." Geng Yan didn't say much. The strength of the two sides was very different, and there was no suspense in this war.
At this moment, many ships appeared on the sea level, which were smaller than their cargo ships.
But those ships were very strange, with very narrow hulls, and iron thorns. They were obviously very small ships, but they were very tall, the same height as their large ships.
"Is it a merchant ship from other counties? But this kind of merchant ship looks very small and cannot carry much cargo?" Geng Yan murmured in his heart, but just in case, he still reminded the sailors to pay attention to prevent the other party from being pirates.
Not long after, Geng Yan saw clearly that the other party had seven ships, six small boats, and one ship about the same size as their cargo ship.
But without exception, they are pointed tall ships, which are very small in size, but very narrow and long, with very high length and width ratios, and there are iron jaws on the bow.
And those ships are not horizontal sails used like the Central Plains, but spinnades.
Those strange ships were very flexible, and they could turn on the sea and rushed towards them against the wind.
"Damn it! There is still a ship that charges against the wind?"
Geng Yan was very shocked. The ships in the Central Plains could naturally drive against the wind, but they could only drive against the wind. It was impossible for them to charge so quickly in the wind.
Seeing the strange ships getting closer, Geng Yan shouted to everyone: "Be careful of the pirates and prepare for battle!"
Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow w
Bang!
Those weird little clutches rushed towards the wind, lined up the surrounding sea water, and hit Geng Yan's main ship.
The iron thorn of the strange boat shattered the hull of the main ship where Geng Yan was located, causing the ship under Geng Yan to leak water.
"No, our hull was broken, jump to another boat!"
The sailors on the boat ran to the side of the boat in horror, trying to jump to other ships that were not attacked.
The main ship began to leak water, and the entire ship tilted to the right. Many people on the ship failed to stand firm and slid directly into the sea and drowned.
Some sailors clutched the poles tightly, but they were just struggling to death, and the cargo ship would soon sink into the sea.
"Damn it, where did the pirates come from? They dare to rob our grain ship?!"
Geng Yan cursed inwardly, grabbed the rope thrown by the ship next to him, then jumped out of the boat, jumped into the sea with a "splash", and then was pulled onto the boat by the sailors of another ship.
"ah--"
"Save me!"
The dozens of sailors who searched the boat just now struggled in the sea. Some people were lucky enough to hold a piece of driftwood, but soon they sank into the sea, and more people drowned directly at the bottom of the sea.
However, it's not over yet.
The strange boats quickly left the battlefield, then charged again, and continued to use their iron jaws to smash the grain transport ships of the four counties' joint forces.
Bang!
More and more grain transport ships were sunk into the sea because of their hulls being smashed, and many sailors were drowned alive by the sea. The sailors who survived by chance were crowded on the few remaining grain transport ships.
"Avoid them!"
"Go to land!"
Geng Yan ordered the sailors to let the remaining grain transport ships approach the land so as not to sink to the bottom of the sea.
Seeing that the grain transport ship was fleeing toward the land, the strange boats no longer charge repeatedly, but directly hooked Geng Yan's cargo ship with iron hooks. Then many "pirates" were pulling the iron hooks to narrow the distance between the strange boat and Geng Yan's cargo ship.
After a while, more and more strange ships hooked the cargo ship.
Some pirates first shot arrows at them, and several cargo ship sailors died unluckyly under the arrows.
Swallowing!
"ah!"
"Well--"
"Cover with wooden boards!"
After the arrow rain ended, the strange ships and the cargo ships were stuck together at close range, and then many "pirates" jumped onto the cargo ships to fight.
"kill!"
The pirates wore light armor and jumped directly to Geng Yan's cargo ship, wantonly slaughtering the sailors wearing only cloth clothes.
clang--
"ah!--"
"Don't kill me, I surrender!"
With armor vs. without armor, it is a completely one-sided massacre.
Geng Yan's sailors were soon defeated.
"hateful!"
Geng Yan lifted a ring-headed knife and slashed at a "pirate (Liaodong County Soldier)" and killed the pirate.
But then, a female pirate jumped onto the cargo ship and also drew her sword and rushed towards him.
"Woman?" Geng Yan didn't understand very much, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly. After all, a woman who can be a pirate is definitely not simple.
"Who are you? You dare to hijack the imperial court's grain ship!" Geng Yan slashed at the female pirate's shoulder with a knife and questioned the other party.
laugh--
Geng Yan's ring-headed knife slashed the female pirate's shoulder, but failed to cut in, and was blocked by the female pirate's spider silk soft armor.
The female pirate seemed to be shocked by Geng Yan's powerful force and groaned, then slashed on Geng Yan's shoulder with a knife.
"ah!!!"
Geng Yan was stunned by the female pirate's way of attacking without defense. His shoulder was cut. Because he did not wear armor, the female pirate's ring-headed knife slashed into his flesh and blood, and into his bones.
"Just! The court has long disappeared. Now everyone is in charge of their own affairs. Who are you in the court?"
The female pirate mocked Geng Yan, then pulled back the sword and kicked Geng Yan's lower abdomen, kicking Geng Yan in pain to the ground, and instructed the other pirates: "These sailors are precious talents. Don't kill anyone who is willing to surrender!"
Geng Yan curled up on the ground in pain, allowing the female pirate to deal with it, and watched the female pirate surrender to his sailors.
He had also wiped out some bandits before, but they were all small-scale fights. This battle in Liaodong Bay was the first time in his life, but he didn't expect to be defeated by a girl.
Chapter completed!
