Chapter 156: Wind and Rain at Sea

Pingzhou, Funing Port

It used to be the protectorate of Anton, and the port was also repaired relatively well in the Tang Dynasty, and there was a corner tower catapult at the port to control the entire port condescendingly. This is a port that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it takes advantage of the land, but Li Qi is also very familiar with this place.

Funing Port is garrisoned by the two armies of the Jingzhou Army, with a total of two battalions and more than 2,000 people.

At night, the Jingzhou sergeant on duty in the corner tower, the vast sea outside, the port was full of lights, as the Han people in the north, there were two kinds of people who acted as the Jingzhou army, one was willing to be the lackey of the Khitan people, relying on the Khitan power to show off his might, and the other was forced to fill the army, and was pulled down as a sergeant in the army for various reasons.

Tan Ying is the second type of Jingzhou sergeant, willing to be a Bohai sergeant, and after being captured, he had no choice but to serve as the Khitan Jingzhou army, fortunately, with such an identity, although it is not bright, but it also allows his family to live a bleak life in Khitan.

Funing Port on a summer night is not busy, Tan Ying, who is on duty, looks around blankly, and then wants to go down to the corner tower to rest for a while, but has no intention of looking at the vast sea, and there is a huge black shadow on the faint face.

On the vast sea, it seemed to be real and illusory, which couldn't help but make him nervous, he was also an old sergeant, vaguely only sailing, a little uneasy.

Merchant vessel? Warship? Liaodong Water Army? He had a little doubt, and he wanted to report it immediately, but when he thought of the face of the capital, he hesitated for a moment.

The black shadow is getting closer and closer, Tan Ying's eyes, a long black line has appeared, standing on top of the corner tower, he opened his eyes wide, looking at it with extreme eyes, but the starlight is dim, how can he be on who it is?

Suddenly, Tan Ying's heart was shocked, and the torches had been raised on the ship, and in a few breaths, the sea was full of fire, and the flag he hung on the ship was the flag of the Bohai Sea Army.

His heart was slightly flustered for a moment, he didn't know what to do, and in a trance, he heard the other sergeants on duty in the corner tower roaring hoarsely.

"Enemy attack! The old army of Bohai is coming! ”

At this moment, Tan Ying also had to ring the golden gong and shout loudly to report to the sergeant resting under the corner tower.

"Whoosh!"

At the same time, more than a dozen small boats also headed for the port, each with fifteen people, which was the land capital of the Sea Wolf Battalion.

Braving the scattered arrows shot from the corner tower, they moved quickly, and rushed to the shore stall in a moment, although they were close to the water, but the equipment of these people was not bad at all, and the short bows and crossbows frantically eliminated the Jingzhou soldiers who resisted in the port.

Other troop carriers at sea also sailed into the harbor, and in almost a moment of incense, the land capital took control of several of the main corner towers of the harbor and allowed other ships to dock safely.

Such a smooth landing battle, in addition to the strong combat power of the sea wolf battalion land warfare, and the main one is the Jingzhou military subordinates stationed in the port, almost rarely resist to the death, and even have the ** sea flag, counterattack, as a guide.

When Cao Zheng arrived at Funing Port, the overall situation of Funing Port was under control, and Li Qi also returned with his own equipment, but this was only the first battle, Pingzhou City had not yet been taken, and there were still many unknown factors.

Although he easily went down to Funing Harbor, Cao Zheng was not arrogant, and quickly assembled the light cavalry of the special warfare capital, and Sertan was also used to appease the surrendered Xi army.

Cao Zheng did not approach Pingzhou City blankly, but quickly prepared Funing Port, played the banner of recovering the Bohai State, everything was carried out as planned, opened a warehouse in Funing Port to release grain, organized and trained the Bohai New Army, and prepared for the attack of the Khitan wolf in Pingzhou City.

……

The next day, Funing Port had been calmed, and on the Bohai Sea, Li Qi finally ushered in the Liaodong Naval Army.

At the moment of encounter, the two sides prepared for battle, and the next moment they entangled with each other and attacked each other, and the battle was in full swing.

Li Qi's old rival Gao Xun was on the ship, commanding the battle, and his ship was also a thousand sea ships, with crossbow machines and gun carriages, and the ship was covered with thick cowhides, and he was not afraid of arrows.

However, this encounter was a bit sudden for Gao Xun, but Li Qi had been preparing for a long time and seized the limelight at the first time, and the eight thousand warships were divided into "Haiqiao", "Hai Storm", "Sea Cry", "Haihui", "Sea Meteorite", "Sea Sin", "Sea Defeat" and "Haikui".

With such a sharp weapon as the "ballista", in the first time, Li Qi knocked out Gao Xun's two frigate battleships, and Gao Xun also returned the color.

The crossbow arrows and stone bullets caused a dense splash on the sea surface, especially those giant stone bullets of the battleship gun carriage of the Liaodong Navy, although the firing time was slow, but every stone that fell made people tremble.

"Whoosh ......"

The ballistae on the main battleships of the eight Hailang Battalions are not vegetarian, and their design accuracy and speed are far superior to those of the Liaodong Navy's gun trucks, and every stone projectile fired by the ballista can fall on the Liaodong battleship, or it can be close to it.

The stone bullets passed through the ship, stirring up the waves, engulfing all the broken ships, and in a moment, only a huge whirlpool remained on the surface of the lake, on which only a few scattered pieces of wood chips floated.

"Whoosh ......"

The terrifying sound of the stone bullet was fired by the whole sea, and Li Qi, who had been prepared for a long time, did not let Bailiu's warships participate in the naval battle, but only relied on eight Haizi Qianliu battleships to entangle with Gao Xun's twenty warships.

Li Qi kept the best distance for the ballista to fire until the stone bullets were exhausted, and when the angry gunner's operation became more and more in a state, the accuracy of the stone bullets made Gao Xun's jaw drop.

Eight thousand warships with the battle flag of the Bohai Sea Army brought sufficient damage to Gao Xun's Liaodong Navy, and this time Gao Xun attacked a total of 26 warships, 10 large ships, and 8 800 500 ships.

However, in the first quarter of an hour of engagement, the two Thousand Grain battleships suffered heavy losses, and after half an hour, the Hundred Grain battleships suffered heavy losses and almost all of them withdrew from the battle.

With such a result, how could the arrogant Gao Xun not be annoyed, and when he found that these inexplicable battleships did not seem to have melee weapons such as shooting poles, he made up his mind to engage them.

Gao Xun commanded eight thousand-material warships on his front ship, chasing and intercepting Li Qiwei, and Li Qi had already prepared for such a situation, and while retreating, the stone bullet still showed no mercy.

One by one, the ruthless stone bullets went towards the pursuing Liaodong battleships,

"Whoosh ......"

A 500-material bucket ship that followed was finally shipwrecked, the bow and stern were raised high, and then slowly sank into the seawater, and the Liaodong naval army on the fighting ship had to abandon the ship and escape.

However, the flying stone bullets may also hit these sergeants who have jumped into the sea again, and the Liaodong battleship in the hot battle cannot rescue these sergeants who have fallen into the sea for a while, so they can only be left to fend for themselves.

This also greatly damaged the morale of the Liaodong Navy Army, and there were hundreds of Liaodong Navy sergeants floating on the sea, as well as broken planks of warships.

As for the eight battleships of the Seawolf Battalion, although they were all wounded, their decks and the outside of the battleships were covered with iron sheets, so that they did not hurt their muscles and bones, and they still fired stone bullets fiercely.
