Chapter 127: Dog Takes Mouse?
June 30, it was dusk. The red sun is about to return to the embrace of the sea, between the sea and the sky, the sunset is immense, and the beauty is infinite.
Except for two ships that are attached to each other, there is not a single sail in the surrounding sea for half a day.
"Han Gong is really good at finding a place. This is a wasteland on the sea. Li Luo stood on the bow of the Chenggong and said as he watched the sunset.
Zheng He, the superintendent of Haiyong who accompanied him, said with a smile: "Whether it is the Central Plains or the Goryeo Wa Kingdom, their trade routes do not pass through here, except for pirates, they usually don't see merchant ships. The four words of the sea wasteland are very appropriate. ”
Zheng He has a talent for sailing, and he was born in a maritime family, so he already has sailing experience. After a few months of theoretical indoctrination by Li Luo, his progress was simply a leap in the day.
Now in the entire Luoning system, the most proficient in navigation and sail warships is no longer Li Luo, but Wang Kui, who was renamed Zheng He by Li Luo.
"Now that I am on the march, I am in the army, and I should no longer be called a teacher." Li Luo corrected.
He now admires Wang Kui, that is, Zheng He very much, this kid is simply a genius, just learned his general understanding of Zheng He's treasure ships and Western sail battleships, Zheng He restored the details, and found out the real Zheng He's treasure ships and sail battleships in history.
That is, with Zheng He, Li Luo has solved the technical conditions for the creation of Zheng He's treasure ships and sail battleships.
This student is better than the blue. Li Luo's amateur knowledge of navigation and sailing in later generations had already been taught to him. This knowledge, though simple and limited, is the most valuable principle and inspiration.
With these inspirations and theories, Zheng He has a high probability of growing into the world's top marine talent.
"Yes, Camp Master." Zheng He said.
Nowadays, the subordinates call Li Luo differently, which is also Li Luo's intention. Distinguish different systems by a name, and arrange distant and close relatives.
For example, Chang Kaisheng, some people call him the president, some call him the chairman, some call the president, and some call him Jiegong.
In the Luoning system, the students of Yeyuetang call him Mentor, the Jurchens call him the wolf master, the Han officers call him the lord, the township warriors call him the camp master, and the members of the Luoning Society can call him the master.
At the same time, Li Luo also specially stipulated that whoever goes out to fight, no matter who he is, will call himself "battalion master".
A large number of titles fully make up for Li Luo's regret that he has never been a cadre in modern society.
"Camp master, looking at the analysis of the sea chart, Han Gong's lair should be within a hundred miles of the southeast sea. Should the ship be stopped now, or should it be driven for another twenty miles? Zheng He asked. He himself was inclined to stop the ship now.
Li Luo thought for a moment, "Now lower the sails and stop the ship." Wait until it's dark and then set sail. ”
According to the attack plan, the troops took advantage of the darkness to sneak near the pirate island, and suddenly launched a landing operation when the sky was slightly bright.
The reason why I chose to start at dawn was because the fog at sea at that time obscured the sailboats, and the visibility was not high, so it was difficult for pirates to detect a ship approaching.
Second, because it was just dawn, after going to the island, my eyes would not be blackened and I couldn't see anything. You don't need lighting to see the terrain.
Third, pirates are also the time when they sleep heaviest and are the least vigilant.
"Commander, the battalion owner has an order, immediately lower the sails and stop the ship!" Zheng He found Haiyong's commander Liu Tuo and said.
Liu Tuo was also waiting for Li Luo's order. Now the sun has not yet entered the sea, and the sea is still clearly visible, and it is estimated that it is less than a hundred miles away from Han Gong's lair. Drive further and you may be spotted by pirates.
"Lowering the sails!" Liu Tuo issued the order flag.
At sea, whether it is Xiang Yong or the Jurchen soldiers recruited by Yan Duo, they must listen to the orders of the commander Liu Tuo and the sea supervisor Zheng He, the chief officers of the sea brave.
But once landed, whether it was Shui Yong, Lu Yong, or the Jurchen soldiers, they had to obey the command of Xiao Bei, the head of the Xiangyong Regiment, and Guangxia, the regiment supervisor.
The Luoning battalion implements the command system of "two commanders and four chiefs". The chief and the supervisor belong to the two chief officers of the same rank. But there are also two heads, the chief planner and the deputy head of the regiment. The four complement each other and also check and balance each other.
This time, there were 1,300 people who went to sea with Li Luo. Either trained village warriors and private soldiers, or Jurchen warriors, they can all fight when they go into battle. Even the two chief instructors, Du Hunt and Utu, followed this time.
The main force was eight hundred Jurchen warriors, who had only trained in the queue and organization for a short period of ten days, and had only eaten good food for ten days. But almost all of them were veterans who fought hard battles with the Yuan army back then, and there were a lot of warriors among them, and if they only talked about personal bravery, they would not be much worse than the Mongols.
Moreover, in addition to the three hundred iron armor, Li Luo also got five hundred Goryeo leather armor!
Ten pairs of silver bottles of heavy gifts were not given in vain, Li Ruoyu, the "eldest brother" who was an official in Bing Cao, really used his power to approve 500 sets of leather armor "A tickets", Li Luo had Bing Cao's A ticket approval, and he successfully bought back the leather armor from Wang Jing's armory at a price of 25 per set.
Li Luo knew that the "eldest brother" Li Ruoyu hated himself in his heart, and he didn't expect to really get five hundred sets of armor approvals, but it was estimated that there were two or three hundred sets of top heaven, but who knew that he really got it.
Don't think about it, this matter must have been known by "uncle" Li Sign. Li Qian instructed Li Ruoyu to help as much as he could, and only then did he get a lot of approvals.
Goryeo leather armor is an imitation of the Tang Dynasty "pill helmet", although it is not iron, but it is also well-made, and it is thicker than the leather armor of the Song army, because the top of the helmet is a "trident", commonly known as "trident pill helmet". In general, the beauty of Korean things is quite reliable.
If it weren't for the help of the Li family, he wouldn't have been able to buy this batch of armor at all, and it would be a capital crime to buy it.
However, according to the law, although the money was spent by him, the armor was not his Li Luo's, not Lee's, but the "Great Goryeo Kingdom" Ganghwa County's Baosheng Jingyong Army (Xiang Yong).
So theoretically, as long as Li Luo, the official position of the Jianghua regiment's training envoy, is replaced, then these five hundred sets of armor, including all the village warriors, will no longer have anything to do with him.
However, as long as "uncle" Li Qian helps, no one can move him as the training envoy of the Jianghua Regiment.
Now, Li Luo has eight hundred armor on his ship, and the armor rate must far exceed that of Han Gong. But to win this battle, there will still be a lot of costs.
Fighting against Han Gong and fighting against Shengfan are completely two concepts.
Fighting with Shengfan, just like the British army and the Qing army, is a dimensionality reduction strike. And fighting with Han Gong is like fighting between the Japanese army and the Russian army, it is a battle between two tigers, and the odds of victory are unknown.
Han Gong's pirates numbered thousands, and many of these people were former Japanese samurai, Goryeo sailors, and Song army sailors, all of whom were pirates from civilized countries.
And the other party also has a geographical advantage.
On my side, I really want to talk about the advantage, that is, the queue military formation and organization are stronger, and there are more people.
This is the first tough battle faced by the Luo Ning battalion, and it is also a real one, and the previous battle against Shengfan is not counted at all.
Hopefully not too many people will die this time.
The last time he left Haidong, Li Luo asked Fang Huan to draw the production drawings of the Western Xia Divine Arm Bow, and after returning to Goryeo, more than a dozen of them had been produced during this time.
More than a dozen divine arm bows can be regarded as a killer weapon in a battle of thousands of people.
The two large ships stopped, and more than a thousand people began to rest and relieve the symptoms of seasickness.
"Supervisor Zheng, look at this day, is there a strong wind on the sea at night?" Commander Haiyong said to Zheng He.
Zheng He said: "Although it is the hurricane season in the waters of the Three Kingdoms, there are many strong winds at sea. But generally from south to north, from east to west, the wind and waves are in turn. Strong winds are usually preceded by southerly or easterly winds. ”
Liu Tuo nodded and said, "Yes." Now the wind is light, and it is still northwesterly, and it doesn't look like a hurricane. ”
Zheng He said with a smile: "We are a thousand great fortune ships, as long as the sails are lowered and the bow and the wind direction are consistent, ordinary hurricanes can't help us." ”
Liu Tuo said with a smile: "Han Gong, I never thought that we would be able to find his lair." ”
Zheng He also smiled, "He couldn't have imagined that it was not the Yuan Army Naval Division that exterminated him, not the Japanese and Goryeo Naval Divisions, but a completely irrelevant regimental training envoy." ”
What the two said was right, Han Gong really didn't expect that a group training envoy would come to exterminate himself, isn't this a dog meddling with a mouse?
