Chapter 1736 The Battle Between the Dragon and the Tiger
The three countries on the peninsula all have sea areas, and they also all have naval divisions, which are called different names, such as fleet army, naval division, water fleet guard and so on.
Chang people used to call Goguryeo's naval forces the fleet army, which was also the most powerful water combat force among the three countries on the peninsula.
Goguryeo had previously claimed that its naval force was invincible in the world, but it did not take Chang's army seriously at all.
In fact, let alone Goguryeo and Yingdao, even amateur players like Baekje did not take Dachang Zhoushi seriously.
During the Di Qinhu era, the Donghai Navy had no sense of existence.
There was a confrontation, but it was just a confrontation after Chu Qing arrived in the East China Sea.
I can't say it was a slap in the face, I can only say it was a slap in the face.
In the past, only Yingdao could compete with the Goguryeo warships.
The warships of two countries are like an environmental protection girl marrying Jiang Jinfu, they are both equal and masters.
Later, Goguryeo's warships were crushed by the new warships produced by the Mohists and were unable to fight back.
When the news reached the country, the Goguryeo people couldn't believe it. It was as if they had learned for the first time that the National Security Team had been beaten by the county brigade. They were completely incomprehensible and unbelievable.
However, Goguryeo also said that they did not use all their strength, which meant that what Changchao's naval division encountered was not Goguryeo's regular army, not their main force.
Today's Donghai Zhoushi is the pride of Chu Qing. They all work in the same industry. They are not the best in literature but not the second in martial arts. They have to distinguish themselves.
But this time it's a matter of life and death.
This is not to say that Chu Qingtian was one step above the ground. The Goguryeo naval force was an "amphibious" force. It could fight at sea when on board the ship, and it could fight on land when off the ship. The overturning of the ship division would not only affect the local area, but the entire battle situation.
In the dark night, the Donghai cruised across the endless sea, and Chu Qing thought quietly along with the swaying hull.
When Huang Laosi first educated Goguryeo, he also sent warships to sweep along the coast and destroyed many warships, but he did not encounter the ace force of the Goguryeo fleet.
The attack on Dachang was so sudden that all the fleet and army went to defend the royal city.
Secondly, not all the warships of the navy are sea-going ships. Many large ships that can only wander on the rivers are also warships. There is also a kind of building ship, which is five stories high. When this ship reaches the sea, it will encounter wind and waves.
Direct rotation and jumping are not suitable for long voyages.
Donghai also has this problem. It is suitable for long voyages and riding wind and waves, but it is not suitable for sailing in water basins. It is easy to lie down when entering offshore areas.
"Cousin."
A Yi came up: "Old man Mo said that he will arrive in Chicheng in less than an hour. Brothers asked me to ask my cousin whether we should fight on land or by sea."
There is a map, and the flag ship has made several trips before.
This is also the difference between naval battles and land battles.
It's all the same routine. You can fight naval battles, but you can also fight land battles.
In a naval battle, Chi Cheng's side will shrink its defenses.
To fight a land battle or a naval battle, manpower must be dispersed.
This is the case for both sides.
It seems that both sides are going to fight together, but there is a central issue involved.
This is equivalent to breaking into someone's home. The other party has two defenses, one is the bodyguard standing at the door, and the other is the door that can be locked.
Kill the bodyguard and the door will be locked.
If you break the door directly, it will be easy for the bodyguards to block the outside and make it difficult to get out.
If you work as a bodyguard and break down doors at the same time, things can go wrong on both sides.
We can only choose one of the two because we don't have enough troops.
Chu Qing waved, and his friends who were preparing to fight in the distance gathered around him.
Wen Ya said: "Then it depends on whether the commander-in-chief wants to annihilate the navy in one fell swoop and severely damage the morale of Goguryeo, or whether he wants to seize the city of Chicheng and defend it."
Chicheng is not the cities that were ruined before. It is a big city and extremely prosperous. In terms of population and scale, it is second only to the royal city of Goguryeo.
"We just need to defeat the fleet. Chicheng is too far away from the sea. The hasty march will take at least a day and midnight. After the battle, we are already exhausted physically and mentally. We have to march quickly and then attack the city. It is open on all sides. It is a hard battle and we can't escape even if we want to.
It’s not necessary.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. There was no need to be greedy for success. Defeating the Goguryeo fleet would have achieved the goal. Everyone's biggest reliance was on the warships. If they captured Chi Cheng and defended it, they would have given up their biggest advantage and the risk would be too great.
The battle plan did not need to be considered by Chu Qing, as his friends had already perfected it to an almost perfect level.
The sails began to slowly furl and the fires of all the ships were extinguished.
Seeing that we were almost reaching the shore, the world was quiet.
The Donghai continued to reduce its speed, and everyone held telescopes to observe the situation on the shore.
Warships of different sizes docked in the shallow sea area, and the cuttlefish enjoyed watching them.
"What kind of ships are these, worthy of being called the Invincible Fleet?"
What the experts said must be reasonable. The boat master had gained such a great reputation that Cuttlefish couldn't help but become more discerning.
To be fair, Goguryeo's warships were not bad, but they were not uniform. There were all kinds of ships, the largest ship could carry forty or fifty of the smallest ships, and some small ships were not as big as the bows of big ships.
In fact, the reputation of Goguryeo's naval force is not only due to its large number of warships, but also its navy sergeants, who are also the elite of Goguryeo.
Everyone knows that Yingdao thieves are not good birds. Privateers are Yingdao's regular warships. Just because we looked down on Dachang Zhoushi before, it doesn't mean we also look down on Yingdao's warships.
The two sides had fought dozens of times on and off, with wins and losses. The characteristic of the Goguryeo warships was that they had gangue drains. Two large iron balls were hung on the boats. When they got close, they would directly use the gangue drains to crash the enemy ship and then join forces to fight.
Being able to face those vicious Japanese thieves head-on and fight back and forth, the sergeants of the Goguryeo fleet army were considered good at fighting.
The sergeants can fight and fight in close quarters, and various types of ships play different roles on the battlefield. Just by bragging, I dare not claim to be the most powerful among the three countries on the peninsula.
"Get ready to attack. Kill the fleet. The coastal area of Goguryeo is our back garden. Not only can we take whatever we want, but we can also establish multiple supply routes to resolve the battle as quickly as possible."
After talking lightly, the friends went to the boat and returned to various warships to take command.
The Donghai is the largest in size and has the most attack methods, taking the lead.
The dull sound of the horn broke the tranquility of the night. Almost at the moment when the sound of the horn was heard, dozens of firelights lit up along the right side of the ship behind the East China Sea. That was the light emitted after the cannon was lit.
Fire, loud noise, and smoke appeared in a three-piece suit, and the twelve warships revealed their sharp fangs in the dark night.
Not all ships participated in the battle. Many ships were used for supply and did not have strong offensive capabilities.
Everything has two sides. The cannon is extremely sharp, but it will flash with fire when shooting, which means that its position will be exposed in the dark.
The Goguryeo ships cruising on the sea did not have this problem. They could travel through the darkness as soon as the torches were extinguished.
It is precisely because of this that everyone knows that close combat is inevitable. Many Goguryeo warships are built-up ships, which are much taller than ordinary warships. Jumping into gangs and fighting will be very disadvantageous.
