Six hundred and thirtieth eight chapters showdown of the clouds and waters three
Chapter 638: Duel between Famous Commanders: Cloud and Mist Waterway (3)
Fu Jianglou knew the characteristics of the Yunwu Waterway, and Kato Takashi knew it even better. Although he didn’t know when the combined forces of Goryeo and the Hetao Navy would come, Kato Takashi would definitely be prepared. Especially since he had been monitoring the Goryeo Waterway all the way.
Therefore, it is certain that Fu Jianglou will launch a fierce attack on this full moon night.
The Yunwu Waterway is usually full of clouds and fog, and the winds and waves are high, making it difficult for ships to enter and exit. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to set up ambush on the rocks on both sides of the waterway. However, it is different on the full moon night of every month. At this time, the clouds and fog
There will be a brief period of tranquility in the waterway, not only the wind and waves will be reduced to the lowest point, but the clouds and fog will disappear, and the visibility will be greatly improved.
According to Kato Takashi's prediction, since the Hetao naval coalition forces are preparing to launch an attack on a full moon night, they will definitely wait until the weather is calm before entering. At this time, the Japanese pirates ambushing on the rocks on both sides of the waterway can completely
Use the trebuchets in your hands to cause huge damage to the Hetao Navy Coalition Forces. Even if they can't sink the Hetao Navy Coalition Forces warships, at least the possibility of the opponent hitting the rocks in a panic is greatly increased.
In order to avoid hitting the rocks, the coalition forces of the Hetao Navy must slow down their passage, and the Yunwu Channel can only accommodate four warships traveling side by side. In this way, the coalition's strength advantage cannot be used at all. Every time they pass through
Only four warships can enter the inner waters. At this time, Kato Taka only needs to wait for half of the naval warships in the Hetao to enter the inner waters, and then the warships inside launch a fierce attack. They will definitely be able to defeat the unstable and weak warships.
The vanguard force of the Hetao Navy was eliminated. At this time, the 30,000 elite naval forces wandering outside the Yunwu Waterway launched a surprise attack on the follow-up troops of the Hetao Navy, and they would surely win a complete victory.
Back then, Fu Jianglou fell under this trick.
However, the person leading the troops today is still Fu Jianglou, but he will never be so careless again. Fu Jianglou knows very well that if he waits until the sea calms down before passing through the waterway, he will definitely be attacked by the Japanese ambushes. And in the huge waves,
The Dongwa Navy could not clearly see the situation in the waterway, and they did not expect that the Hetao Navy coalition would launch a fierce attack under such circumstances. If they were careless, they would be caught off guard. And with the help of the wind, the warships were traveling at a faster speed
It is at least four to five times faster than driving carefully. Although the possibility of crashing into a reef ship and destroying people will be greatly increased, and the number of damaged battleships will not be less, it is at least faster than the loss suffered by the Japanese ambush.
It is much smaller, and it can catch the opponent off guard. Fu Jianglou will still calculate this deal.
It was precisely because Kato Taka misguessed Fu Jianglou's plan that he never expected that the always cautious Marshal of Goryeo would take such a big gamble this time, so he specially dispatched many men to ambush both sides of the waterway. As a result, such consequences
Hundreds of small, unmanned Japanese boats were destroyed by the Korean Navy's attack.
As for Dekonzozov's 30,000-strong naval force that he deliberately ambushed outside the waterway, it did not play any role at all. No one expected that the Hetao naval coalition would take such a risk. As a result, it would have taken at least three hours to completely defeat the enemy.
The passage of the 200,000 allied troops actually took only two quarters of an hour to complete. Now, not only was the Dong Japanese army at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, but also the strategic plan was disrupted, the morale of the soldiers was in confusion, and defeat was only a matter of time.
The total destruction of the small speedboats not only broke the sharpest claws of Dongwa, but also made it impossible for the Dongwa Navy soldiers on the shore who were originally preparing to ambush the Hetao Navy coalition forces on both sides of the waterway to board the battleships and Hetao quickly.
All the large warships have now been restrained by the Hetao. After the Goryeo Navy has swept away the small speedboats, it will be the end of the Dongwa Navy.
For this victory, Fu Jianglou deduced it in his mind no less than ten times. He, who was already in low spirits, became even more haggard. Sitting on his chair, Fu Jianglou only felt that his whole body was sore and weak.
My eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and even my life force seems to be constantly draining from my body.
"Commander!" Fu Jianglou struggled for a while and shouted with all his strength.
Footsteps approached quickly, but it was not the messenger, but the deputy general Fu Yishan.
"Commander, what are your orders?"
"Sign up and ask He Bugui and Zhang Yuewan to come to the Polu immediately!" Fu Jianglou groaned and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Fu Yishan was shocked and shouted loudly: "Military doctor! Military doctor! Where is the military doctor?"
"
However, after just two screams, Fu Yishan felt a hand gripping his arm tightly. The force on the hand was astonishing. When he lowered his head, he saw that Fu Jianglou was staring at him intently.
"Yishan, don't scream! So as not to disturb the morale of the army!" Fu Jianglou gasped and said, but with every word he said, blood seeped out from the corners of his mouth.
Fu Yishan was heartbroken, but he did not dare to disobey Fu Jianglou's order, so he could only nod his head with tears in his eyes.
"Yishan, listen, you must remember what I am saying now!" Fu Jianglou said: "My life is not long. The reason why I have been struggling all these years is mainly to avenge my defeat in the war.
This is a great feud. If nothing happens now, Kato Taka will be doomed. Our Goryeo still has the national master and Ruoshui here, so Goryeo will have no worries."
Fu Yishan said with tears: "Commander, my subordinates know." He also knew about Fu Jianglou's physical condition, but he knew that he knew, but seeing Fu Jianglou in such a condition, he still burst into tears.
"If this commander dies, the morale of our Korean navy will be greatly reduced, and Kato Taka may take advantage of it! Therefore, before the battle is over, you must not announce the death of my commander. Raise my general's flag.
, to show the intention of fighting to the death!"
"Yes, I understand!" Fu Yishan nodded honestly.
"The command of the Goryeo Navy is handed over to Zhang Yuewan. The final war will not end in one day. She will be your supreme commander in one day!"
"I obey my orders!"
"Hetao will soon land in Dongwa. Please inform His Royal Highness the King and the Imperial Guards as soon as possible, and they can dispatch 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers from the country to accompany them to avenge me for the bloody vengeance of Goryeo!"
"yes!"
"Also, tell Ruoshui that our future in Korea depends on her."
"My subordinates will definitely inform the eldest princess as soon as possible."
These words seemed to have exhausted all Fu Jianglou's energy. Fu Yishan felt that the hand holding him was getting weaker and weaker, and Fu Jianglou's face became paler. A big wave hit, and the Polu boat bumped.
After a moment, Fu Jianglou's right hand suddenly fell from Fu Yishan's arm. Fu Yishan was shocked and raised his head, only to find that Fu Jianglou's eyes had lost their luster.
"Commander!" Fu Yishan pushed the golden mountain over the jade pillar, hugged Fu Jianglou's right hand with both hands, and cried loudly.
He Bugui and Zhang Yuewan were directing the battle on the Dinghai. When they heard that Fu Jianglou had called for them urgently, they both felt that the situation was serious. They quickly slid down the mast and took a small sampan to float to the Polu. The two of them felt that the situation was serious.
Just as he jumped onto the deck, he happened to see Fu Yishan directing the soldiers to raise the commander's flag. He Bugui suddenly smiled: "Could Commander Fu be preparing to fight to the death with the Eastern Japanese? But they no longer have this qualification, right?"
However, Zhang Yuewan was attentive and observed carefully. Suddenly, she ducked in front of Fu Jianglou. Looking at the pale Korean marshal in the wheelchair, her face suddenly became solemn.
At this time, Fu Yishan had already raised Fu Jianglin's flag and walked slowly up to the two of them. His face was ashen and even his voice was a bit sinister: "General He, Your Royal Highness, my commander has already gone.
Before leaving, the commander-in-chief asked Her Royal Highness the Princess to take over the command of the Goryeo Navy until the end of the final war."
Zhang Yuewan was shocked and looked at each other with He Bugui, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. Although they also knew that Fu Jianglou was in poor health, they never expected that he would die at this time. Before leaving the army.
A quickie dies first, which makes a hero burst into tears! That's about it!
The best naval marshal in the history of Goryeo, this legendary general who went to war at the age of fourteen and single-handedly defended the security of Goryeo, actually died like this. Two of the three famous generals in the East China Sea were gone, but the remaining
This must be difficult to escape today.
However, Zhang Yuewan was more interested in the words "The Last War". This Goryeo marshal did have a long-term vision.
After all, Fu Yishan had been sad for a while. Thinking of Fu Jianglou's last words, he raised Fu Jianglou's sword with both hands, handed it to Zhang Yuewan, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, this is the commander's sword, which represents the hundred thousand of our Korea."
Please accept the highest command authority of the Navy."
After saying that, Fu Yishan put his legs together, bent down at the waist, raised the sword in his hand high above his head, and said with a serious expression: "Your Royal Highness, I have been ordered to hand over the command of Goryeo's 100,000 navy!"
Zhang Yuewan took the sword with both hands, pressed the spring with her left hand, and the sword popped out. Holding the sword in her right hand, she picked out a few sword flowers at random, and said with a serious face: "I accept the hundred thousand navy of Goryeo.
Within the scope of my authority, I will do my best to lead the Koryo Navy to create a more glorious future!"
The two men performed a military salute to each other, marking the formal transfer of command of the Goryeo 100,000 Navy.
"Pass this order from me! The Koryo Navy will immediately turn the helm and join forces with the Jiaolong Army to annihilate the Eastern Japanese Navy!" Zhang Yuewan shouted in a deep voice, pointing the sword in his hand diagonally, exuding an awe-inspiring and inviolable brilliance!
"Bring out the war drum, I will personally beat the drum to cheer for the soldiers!" Zhang Yuewan shouted flatly.
Amidst the rumbling drums, Fu Jianglou's handsome flag was flying high on the top of the mast, which looked even more eye-catching under the moonlight. It represented the Iron Blood Mountain and River Flag of the Hetao Army and the Dragon Sea Flag of the Dragon Legion.
The flags of Fu Jiang Tower were in perfect harmony with each other. Amidst the sound of war drums, all the soldiers couldn't help but look in this direction. They saw the three flags flying high and Zhang Yuewan's majestic figure beating the drums on the moonlit night on the mast's watchtower.
Their spirit and fighting will also rose to the highest peak.
When Zhang Yuewan's figure appeared on the mast, and when Fu Jianglou's handsome flag was flying high, Kato Taka on the Eastern Japanese flagship Blood Massacre could only feel cold sweat dripping from his vest. The geographical location of Yunwu Waterway is quite unique. If at the beginning
If you can't hit the opponent hard at the time, then you can only win with strength later. But now, Dongwa is at a disadvantage in terms of strength. More than a hundred warships have been completely surrounded by Hetao and Goryeo Navy. Kato Takashi has a premonition that tonight, he will
I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape.
"Raise my handsome flag!" Kato Takashi said through gritted teeth.
Kato Taka rarely raised his command flag during naval battles. Even when he fought with Fu Jianglou in the East China Sea, or later in the long-term battle with He Huairen, he rarely raised his command flag because he felt it was unnecessary. Moreover,
Raising the flag means that your flagship will become the opponent's main attack target. This is too dangerous, and Kato Taka does not want to take this risk.
However, things are different now. The troops are at a disadvantage, the opponent's morale is at an all-time high, and the situation is completely under the opponent's control. He must try his best to summon the courage and pride of the soldiers, otherwise, the Dongwa Navy will definitely be in trouble today.
After all, Kato Taka is one of the three famous generals in the East China Sea, and he has unparalleled prestige in the East China Sea, especially among the navy. When his command flag was raised, the spirit and spirit of the East China Sea Navy were
The will to fight has also reached its highest peak.
The final battle!
Both sides of the war understood the importance of this battle.
If the Towa Navy is defeated, then with the 30,000 navy in Dekonsov's hands, it will not be able to cause any trouble. Moreover, Dekonsov cannot compete with Kato in terms of reputation, qualifications, and combat experience.
Compared with Ying. Therefore, once Kato Ying was defeated, the Eastern Japanese would not be able to form a powerful naval force in a short time. If Hetao and Goryeo took the opportunity to attack the Eastern Japanese mainland, it could be said to be a piece of cake.
If the Hetao and the Koryo Navy were defeated, no one in the world could stop the Japanese navy. In this case, not to mention the recovery of the Third Jiangnan Road in the Hetao, the entire coastal and river areas would be harassed by the Japanese for a long time.
Goryeo will also fall into the dark ages again.
Even if Kato Taka's navy escapes, the consequences will be quite serious. Because without the existence of Fu Jianglou, an old opponent who knows Kato Taka inside and out, it is not easy to catch Kato Taka's tail in the vast sea.
?
This battle is related to the control of the entire East China Sea and South China Sea, and is also related to the future direction of the three countries!
Soldiers versus soldiers, generals. When the flags of both sides were raised, the Blood Slaughter Bafang and Polu couldn't help but start a one-on-one fight. The Dongwa Navy now has both the number of warships and the number of soldiers.
They were all at an absolute disadvantage, and the Hetao coalition easily formed a two-on-one battle pattern. However, there were only two of their warships near the two flagships. This was a sign of respect for the generals and admiration for the warriors.
"Soldiers, charge!" Kato Takashi brandished an ax he grabbed from somewhere and shouted loudly with a ferocious face.
He now has two ways to go. The first is to retreat immediately. However, the warships on both sides are completely stuck together. Even if he has the power to reach the sky, he can only take away ten at most. In this way, not only will he become
He was a lost dog, and his home nest was completely lost to the other party.
Another option is to fight to the end. As long as he can hold on until noon the next day, huge waves will rise again in the clouds and mist waterways. In the clouds and mist, visibility will be greatly reduced. Most of his warships are accustomed to the climate conditions here.
, so he will definitely have the upper hand when fighting. However, it is still early in the day. Therefore, he must improve his own morale as much as possible. The best way is to sink the opponent's flagship. In this way, the opponent's
Morale will inevitably be greatly reduced, and victory is not hopeless.
Let's fight! If a famous commander in the East China Sea flees in such a mess, it will have a great impact on his reputation. Besides, he has lost his shelter and only has more than a dozen defeated ships left under his command. Why should he gain a foothold in the East China Sea?
! Kato Taka thought sadly.
The warships of both sides were all intertwined, and the brutal hand-to-hand combat finally began. Often as soon as the two warships approached, both sides would immediately tie themselves to the other side with lassoes, then swing their weapons and move toward the other side.
The battleships killed them. However, the Hetao and Goryeo forces had the advantage in strength, so in most cases the coalition forces of the Hetao Navy took the initiative to jump over, and then started a tooth-and-nail battle with the Dongwa Navy on the deck.
The basic weapon configuration of the Japanese navy and the army in the East is the Japanese sword with a blade length of one meter and two meters. This kind of Japanese sword requires both hands to hold. When it is danced, it completely combines the strength of the whole body, and the sword is extremely powerful.
However, the Japanese sword is too long, so it can exert great combat effectiveness when on the deck. However, once it is forced to a relatively narrow place such as a cabin, etc., it will be restricted from left to right, and cannot take advantage of the Japanese sword's cutting advantage.
The configurations of the Goryeo Navy and the Jiaolong Legion are basically the same. They both have right swords and left shields. The blade is about two feet long. There is no armor on the body. The left hand is a one-foot-sized shield, which is quite flexible. However, the Goryeo Navy is not like
The thing about the Dragon Legion is that they don't have five javelins on their backs.
The old foundation of the Jiaolong Legion was the veterans and backbone of the water battles of the Jiaolong Legion during the He Huairen era, as well as the naval warriors of the Zhang family in Huai River. Therefore, it was seriously affected by the Qingfeng Navy. As soon as the warships of both sides approached, the soldiers of the Jiaolong Legion pulled out their weapons.
The javelin behind him. He Bugui's training for the navy has always been strict. This two-foot-long javelin was thrown very accurately and with full force. Within a range of 60 meters, almost every throw was accurate. He was hit by the javelin.
The Japanese soldiers were either nailed to the ship's plank, or they broke through the guardrail under the huge momentum and fell directly into the sea.
"Commander, our troops are at an absolute disadvantage, and the soldiers may not be able to hold on any longer!" Nagumo Wolf guard stumbled to Kato Taka and said loudly.
Nanyunlang Guardsman can be regarded as an old man of the Eastern Japanese Navy. He had a record of fighting against He Huairen in Dajiang Shang. Over the years, he has not died in battle. It is obvious that in addition to good luck, his personal qualities are also good.
Absolutely excellent. However, now this old Japanese pirate who followed Kato Taka and transferred from a pirate to a regular navy soldier can no longer hold on, and even his tone is full of fear.
"Retreat? Where should we retreat? Can we still retreat?" A wry smile appeared on Kato Takashi's face. He never expected that the combat effectiveness of the Hetao Navy coalition would be so powerful. Moreover, even the Goryeo Navy had changed its previous attitude.
They were careful to adopt a strategy that minimized casualties as much as possible, and launched a desperate attack on themselves. They were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength. Failure was inevitable.
