Setting sail from Liaokou, it only takes three hundred miles to cross Liaodong Bay and reach western Liaoning. Sea ships travel very fast, and if the wind direction is favorable, this distance can be covered in just one day and night.
Early the next morning, almost at the same time that Gongsun Du saw Li Min, the lookout on the Liaodong Navy's flagship saw the coastline and reported it to Yang, General Liu.
The second general immediately ordered people to land in a small boat to determine the current specific location. When they received the report and found that the fleet was in the area between Tangjiushui and Bailangshui, the second general immediately had a disagreement.
Yang Yi advocated continuing to march westward and occupying Taohuapu, which was later known as Xingcheng Juhua Island. He used the cover of the island to set up an ambush, ambushed Qingzhou's transport fleet, and captured as many ships and sailors as possible. On the one hand, he demonstrated and demonstrated that Liaodong
It has the ability to cut off sea routes and at the same time capture more hostages as bargaining chips.
Of course Liu Yi disagreed.
Although an ambush can be advantageous in the early stage, the responsibility of provoking it in the first place is very serious. According to his idea, the navy's supplies are enough anyway, so he might as well just pull out a blockade in place so that Qingzhou's supply ships cannot
After passing, if someone breaks through by force, they will be detained again and the Qingzhou Army will be forced to negotiate openly.
For this reason, the two of them quarreled fiercely, but no one could overpower the other. Others did not dare to persuade, and they could not do so. They all knew that these two were old enemies and enemies, and they would usually quarrel even if nothing happened. This time
When we attack together, without General Gongsun suppressing us, how can we not make a huge noise?
This quarrel lasted for most of an hour, and the sky was dark and the ground was dark, and it was indistinguishable. If the lookout had not reported back again, telling them that a fleet was approaching, the two would not have given up.
"Fleet? Coming from the east? Are they returning ships, or..." Yang Yi asked in surprise: "How many ships are there?"
"There are twelve ships in total. It seems that they have discovered our army, but they have no intention of avoiding or turning!" the lookout replied truthfully.
"Twelve ships..." Yang Yi nodded, turned to Liu Yi, and asked with a sneer: "General Liu, they came to the door, and when they saw us, they didn't mean to dodge, so they rushed over like this... Hehe, now
What should I do? He is a vulgar and reckless person, so you should come up with a charter."
Liu Yi knew that Yang Yi was just looking at him for a joke, and he was indeed dissatisfied with the Qingzhou Army's arrogant attitude, so his reply was naturally a bit blunt: "If soldiers come to block it, if water comes to cover it, we can't let them get through!"
We have dealt with many Qingzhou military generals. If we meet an acquaintance and have a bad face, General Laoyang will be the one this time."
"It's easy to say, easy to say." After gaining the upper hand, Yang Yi didn't hesitate. He smiled and nodded, strode out of the cabin, raised his arms and shouted: "Blow the drum! Raise the flag! Form an array, go up to us, and take them all!"
"Here!" the Chinese army responded, and the flag bearer waved the military flag vigorously and passed out the order.
Nearly two hundred ships moved upon hearing the sound, with Yang Yi's flagship as the center, stretching out in the east and west directions, like a white crane proudly spreading its wings.
"The Liaodong Navy is indeed elite." Wei Yan smacked his tongue slightly.
The technical content of the ship array is much higher than that of the troops and horses. From the time when both sides see each other to the time when the Liaodong army forms the Crane Wing Formation, there is only one stick of incense. During this period, the distance between the two fleets is
It has just been shortened by half. This alone is enough to show that the quality of the Liaodong Navy is superior to the Qingzhou Navy.
This is not surprising. The formation of the Liaodong Navy can be traced back to the Han Dynasty era hundreds of years ago. It has a long tradition. Even counting from Gongsundu alone, the existence of this navy has exceeded two centuries.
Ten years later, Hecang formed an army. After the formation of the army, the Qingzhou Navy, which mainly focused on transportation, was naturally not the same.
"What's the use of just lining up in an orderly manner? There are two hundred ships, not to mention a crane-wing formation with four different shapes. Even if they line up a deadly scissors, what can they do to me?" Tai Shici sneered.
The generals and sailors of the Liaodong Navy are indeed very powerful, and the Crane Wing Formation they put out can indeed intimidate a layman like Wen Chang. But naval battles are not land battles, and no matter how good the formation is, there is no way to put it to good use.
It's no use coming out.
The Crane Wing Formation is conducive to long-range attacks, and it is also conducive to deploying troops and surrounding the enemy. But the question is, is it possible for the Liaodong Army to have long-range weapons that can exert power at a distance of several hundred steps? In addition, naval battles depend on wind direction and currents;
You can walk in any direction you want to go, but even if you can walk there, you may not be able to make it in time, right?
Unless the opponent is an outsider, this Crane Wing Formation is just a piece of cake.
Taishi Ci smacked his lips and sighed with regret: "My lord is right, the Liaodong Navy also doesn't have much experience in naval warfare. The trouble now is that we can't let go and fight, otherwise it will be much easier. That's good.
, Chief Wen, you stay here to hold the battle, I'll go over and say hello first."
With that said, he ordered the boat to be released, and asked Wei Yan to change the boat and prepare to go forward in a single boat.
"Zhen Ting is watching over here. I have to keep an eye on you. If a fight really breaks out, can't I be a witness in front of the lord in the future?" Wei Yan shook his head as if he was playing a drum, not willing to obey.
Although it was fun to set off the fire two days ago, just watching from the side is not enough. Looking at the Liaodong Army's mobilization of troops, it will definitely be difficult for a few days. If Tai Shici is allowed to go alone, the fight will start again.
, can’t I just watch the fun again?
Taishi Ci couldn't resist him and didn't bother to say more. He waved his hand and gave instructions simply: "Send the order to Xiaowei Chen. I'll leave it to him here. If anything happens, he will be beaten according to the established plan. A certain and Wen
You will find your own way out, don't worry too much."
The Qingzhou fleet slowed down in response. Except for Taishi Ci's flagship, which accelerated and rushed forward, the other ships all lowered their sails and formed a line, following behind and advancing slowly.
…
"Here we come..." Yang Yi took a deep breath.
"Who is coming?" Liu Yi raised his head and asked the lookout hand.
"The ones coming are the Qingzhou Yinwu Army, with two general flags, one written on Taishi and the other on Wei..."
"His!" The two generals gasped in unison, and Yang Yi's reaction was even more extreme. Before the lookout man finished speaking, his order was already shouted out: "Don't let them continue to come closer, let them stay.
Stop the ship within a stone's throw and order the guards on the left and right to protect the flagship!"
Liaodong is relatively isolated. Although the Qingzhou generals are famous, they are not well-known in Liaodong. However, Taishi Ci is different. He spent several years in Liaodong and became quite famous with his martial arts skills.
First, two days ago, he attacked Yan Rou at night and defeated Yan Rou's 7,000 army with 500 warriors. His reputation has spread throughout Liaodong.
You know, Yan Rou is a famous tycoon in the fortress, and his archery and martial arts are famous both inside and outside the frontier fortress. Just by defeating Yan Rou, Taishi Ci is famous in Liaodong.
In water warfare in this era, there are only a few routines to go back and forth. When you are far away, you can use bows and arrows. When you are close, you can ram with boats, or you can jump off the boat for hand-to-hand combat. The power of bows and arrows is limited, and it is difficult to kill a large number of enemies. There is a risk of ramming with boats.
Big, low hit rate, most efficient in hand-to-hand combat.
The load of the ship is limited, and the scale of local hand-to-hand combat usually does not exceed two hundred. After all, the ship is very large, and two ships attacking one is considered the limit. One ship has more than fifty soldiers, and three ships are two
Less than a hundred people.
In a battle of this scale, the role of a strong general will be brought into full play!
If there is no strong hand in charge, Tai Shici may be able to wipe out a warship by himself.
At present, there is a huge disparity in numbers between the two armies. Although Yang Yi is somewhat confident in his martial arts, he is not so arrogant that he thinks he can compete with Tai Shi Ci. And there is Wei Yan on the opposite side - although Yang Yi doesn't know much about Wei Yan, but what can I say?
The latter is also a person with the same status as Taishi Ci. How can he not worry that Taishi Ci will help him capture the thief before he captures the king?
Liu Yi felt that this was a bit self-defeating, but thinking that now was not the time to argue, he could only acquiesce.
The flag was waved, and the Liaodong Navy's formation changed again. Two rows of oars stretched out from both sides of the flagship, and they paddled hard. The hull slowly retreated. Five warships on each side moved forward together, forming two rows.
The flagship was firmly protected. On one of the ships at the forefront, someone shouted loudly: "Stop the incoming ship, first state your identity before proceeding forward!"
"Taishici of Donglai and Wei Wenchang of Nanyang are here. Qingzhou and Liaodong belong to the alliance. Your army is not in Liaodong. Why did you suddenly come to Liaoxi and block our army's path? Why do you act so guilty and cowardly?
"
Taishi Ci shouted loudly with all his strength, and the sound spread far away, echoing endlessly on the open sea. It was actually heard by most of the Liaodong fleet, and everyone who heard it changed their expressions.
Yang Yi was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do for the moment.
His energy was not that strong. Even if he shouted after retreating a certain distance, the other side might not be able to hear him. Moreover, Taishi Ci saw the opportunity too quickly. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Liaodong flagship to retreat, he asked a question, and he asked it with confidence and momentum.
Hong and Yangyi couldn't explain the twists and turns in public, and explaining it would be useless to counterpress the other party.
Of course, seeing that morale was so low was not an option. He turned to Liu Yi and asked: "General Liu, what should we do now?"
"There is no way." Liu Yi shook his head, very dissatisfied with Yang Yi's fierce look. If he hadn't retreated in such a hurry, he wouldn't have let others have the upper hand with just one sentence: "To restore the situation, only one of you and me can do it."
, I went to Taishi Ci’s boat for a walk. How about it? You go or should I go?”
"This..." Yang Yi looked embarrassed. He was not afraid of going to war with Qingzhou, but he valued his own life. How could he dare to send a sheep into a tiger's mouth?
Liu Yi knew this would be the case. He flicked his sleeves and said with emotion: "Forget it, I'll just go and take this trip." After saying that, without even looking at Yang Yi, he ordered the boat to be put away and prepared to negotiate alone.
Yang Yi was so angry at Liu Yi's last look that she couldn't care less for a moment and said angrily: "Don't look down on people, General Liu, I'm going with you! Let's see who has more heroes in Qingzhou or I, a native of Liaodong."
Have courage!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
