Chapter 620: Pirate Counterattack
It took a long time to recover.
"Check the ship, chase me." Yang Xuangan didn't stand up, but he hadn't forgotten to give the order.
It took a long time to recover.
"Check the ship, chase me."
Yang Xuangan didn't stand up, but he hadn't forgotten to give the order.
But it was too late, Laihu'er ordered the ship to take a suicidal ramming to delay time for the remaining ships, and Yang Xuangan reacted when the distance had already been drawn.
"Keep fighting and go back to Penglai." Yang Xuangan said loudly.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't care about the shock just now, they had lived on the island for several months, and if they didn't go to sea often, they would have been suffocated.
Thinking that they would have to live on an isolated island in the future, they were afraid for a while, and now the enemy they are facing is the Penglai guards, as long as they defeat them, Penglai is theirs, and they no longer have to live on the island.
Their heads were a little dizzy, and they fought hard to be able not to live on an isolated island, standing up and holding on to the ship's mast to look out, and they were ready to join at any time.
Yang Xuangan saw that his subordinates were so positive, and he was more confident in defeating Laihu'er.
The ships that had just experienced a wave of collision on both sides suffered great losses, Yang Xuangan's fleet was not bad, and the large ships of the fleet that came to Hu'er were basically the most damaged.
Now is the time to race against time, the wreckage of the ship is worth recycling, just when Yang Xuangan led people to pursue, the pirates of Goryeo saw the big ship of Sui that was seriously damaged by the collision, and their eyes turned red.
Where did they ever have such a big ship, the first thing they thought about was no longer the richness of the land of the Sui State, but the visible benefits first.
So Yang Xuangan's fleet was divided into the front and rear fleets, and the rear fleet knew that it was a Goryeo pirate without thinking about it.
"I've never seen the world, huh!"
Yang Xuangan was very dissatisfied with the Goryeo pirates, this is the time to drag the big ship, there is no strategic sense at all, if you occupy a few big ships in Penglai, there will be none.
In terms of vital interests, if the damaged ships are not towed now, it will not take long for them to sink to the bottom of the sea, but if they are recovered now and the ships are brought back to the isolated island to be repaired, then their combat effectiveness will increase by at least one level.
The Goryeo pirates couldn't help but be impressed, and 20,000 men were not enough compared to their small ships, and they did not have an advantage at all when fighting.
Yang Xuangan didn't have the time to take care of them at this time, now is the best time to attack Penglai, no matter how powerful the warship is, it's just like that.
So Yang Xuangan had to find the leader of the Goryeo pirates to explain the situation, but the negotiation did not seem to be pleasant, and in the end the pirates agreed.
"Hmph, what a bunch of white-eyed wolves, sooner or later I will settle accounts with you."
Yang Xuangan was a little depressed after the negotiation, and the condition offered by the leader of the Goryeo pirates was that they would ask for five Sui ships after the matter of helping him attack Penglai.
Yang Xuan felt that they were sitting on the ground and raised the price, so he agreed in order not to miss this opportunity, but three of them were seriously damaged ships, and he would provide repairs, but the ships needed to be towed back by themselves.
The leader of the pirate gang agreed, and they didn't say yes because they didn't have the ability to repair ships.
The soldiers and horses who came to Hu'er had reached the shore, and everyone began to be on guard, and the current way of shore defense was to use bows and arrows, and if the ships did not approach them, there was no way at all.
The big ship suffered serious losses, and it no longer had the conditions to go to sea again to meet the enemy.
"Gather troops and horses to defend the port for me." Laihu'er gave the order as soon as he got off the boat.
You don't have to think about it to know that the other party will definitely attack, so if you miss such an opportunity, don't say lead troops to fight.
Penglai soldiers and horses immediately began to mobilize, and now there are 30,000 Penglai soldiers and horses on the shore, and the back defense is the soldiers and horses brought back from Goryeo, and the number is more than the Penglai soldiers.
If he didn't have such confidence, how could he declare a rebellion, it was because of the problem of soldiers' salaries that bothered him before, but now with the support of the imperial court, he has nothing to fear.
Yang Xuangan's 50,000 soldiers and horses appeared quickly on ships, and it was seen that hundreds of ships were very spectacular, because there were too many small boats, and with their intuitive vision, they brought a lot of pressure to the guards.
The archers on the shore were ready, just waiting for the enemy to approach.
Yang Xuangan had already seen the situation on the shore on the warship, and he knew very well that even if the soldiers and horses who came to Hu'er deployed the defense in advance, this battle would be fought no matter how big the sacrifice was.
This battle is directly related to whether he can occupy the Sui State and develop his power, and if he loses, he will always be a pirate in the future.
Anything can happen at sea, and one day his soldiers and horses will become vassals of other pirates, just as the Goryeo pirates are vassals of them now.
Thinking too much was redundant, Yang Xuangan cleaned up his mood and directly gave the order to attack.
The battle for the beach.
The Goryeo pirates were at a disadvantage, with few archers, and their battles were usually dominated by ships, and when encountering merchant ships, they were hooked close to each other for close combat.
They rarely encounter this kind of battle of beach-grabbing and landing, and now they are fighting which side is more brave and good at fighting.
The leader of the Goryeo pirates also fought for the big ship, and they were not stupid, and they would get more benefits than five warships after occupying Penglai.
At least they have a piece of land to live on, and it can be said that their imaginary future is promising.
Yang Xuangan was worried at this time, it was strange that he was not nervous about the future battle.
50,000 soldiers and horses launched a charge, and although there were many archers on the defensive side, they could not withstand the charge of 50,000 people.
Lai Hu'er was in a hurry, he looked behind him from time to time, and asked the generals around him, "Why haven't the mobilized soldiers and horses come yet?" ”
"General, according to the distance, it will take two sticks of incense at the earliest." The subordinate generals led the way.
Lai Hu'er was even more anxious, you must know that the soldiers and horses he brought back were not cavalry, so it would take time to temporarily assemble the soldiers and horses, but the enemy's offensive was very fierce, and it seemed that he would not be able to withstand it.
Yang Xuangan really decided to fight to the death, and even he got off the warship himself.
In this way, the generals and soldiers around him saw it, and they all fought desperately, and the crazy attack of 50,000 to 30,000 made Lai Hu'er retreat.
Lai Hu'er is a famous general who became famous very early, and he did this because he didn't want Penglai soldiers to be buried here, and the other is that retreat is his strategy.
Yang Xuangan relied on the advantage of warships to be majestic on the sea, and now Penglai's warships have suffered huge losses, so that the other party can be more unscrupulous, and if they set up ships to go to sea again, they will have a long time to take them.
Lai Hu'er without a warship was not a threat to the pirates at all, and at that time, the Penglai soldiers would lose their advantage, and those who had no use value would be treated in the eyes of the emperor and the court.
