Chapter 391: First Acquaintance with Yingzhou
The waves roll and the sky is wide,
The smoke and clouds are far away.
The bow of the ship is fierce and breaks the waves,
The sail oars drummed and the journey began.
The Kunpeng No. 3, with its huge hull like a mountain, continues to break the waves in the vast sea.
On the bow deck, a green shirt stood firmly on it, unaffected by the undulating hull of the rough waves.
Wow~
The bow of the ship pierced a huge wave, and the water splashed.
A little Mercury falls on the hem of the green shirt and soaks it.
The owner of the green shirt didn't care at all, his eyes just looked at the sea in the distance for a moment.
Long.
A sigh came from the mouth of the owner of the green shirt.
"Hey! According to the map, the land of Yingzhou should have been discovered yesterday, why is it almost noon, more than half a day, but there is still no trace of the land? ”
This person is none other than Zhou Yu.
The purpose of this trip was not elsewhere, but Yingzhou, which Gongsun Yi had abandoned earlier. Yingzhou occupies a very important position in Gongsun Du's plan, so that Zhou Yu can transfer elite sailors, and then hone and improve the tacit understanding, then form an expeditionary force to go south.
Suddenly, a black dot in the distance suddenly appeared in sight.
Zhou Yu's body trembled, and he quickly took out the telescope from his arms.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhou Yu looked at the eye-catching hill, his face was full of surprise: "Although it was late, it was finally here." ”
"Someone!"
Zhou Yu hurried to the cabin and exhaled at the same time.
"Captain!"
"Order, everyone to speed up the boat, and to get as close to the destination as possible before dark. Tonight, be sure to go ashore. ”
Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse is also applicable in the sea. Even if this new warship is driven by a combination of wind and manpower, it can only cover most of the time in an afternoon, and if you want to land directly, you have to sail at night.
However, although the sea is dangerous, as long as it does not encounter storms, it is much safer than land, especially the new warships as vehicles, the defense is much higher.
The wind and manpower were used in one direction, and the speed of the battleship became more than doubled. By evening, more than a dozen warships, and dozens of transports, were less than ten miles away from the previously discovered land.
After a few more miles, night was about to fall. With the last touch of afterglow, Zhou Yu gave a new order-
"Drop the boat and explore the way."
The ship will dock, and the situation on the bottom of the sea will become complicated, which is the experience summed up by Cheng Pu's expedition overseas with his personal experience. When the warships of the expedition were docking, two of them hit the reef and almost sank, but fortunately, they carried enough planks and repaired them in time to save them.
Although small boats are not enough to travel long distances on the sea, they have unique advantages in exploring the terrain of waters, especially in offshore areas.
Less than an hour after nightfall, all the ships were on the surface closest to land, and if they advanced any further, they would run aground.
"Hey, there are so few natural good harbors!"
Zhou Yu sighed secretly, but he still did not hesitate to order people to land and explore the situation within ten miles of the vicinity.
The next day, it was still early, and Zhou Yu was woken up before he got up.
"Captain, there are enemies surrounding our men and horses on the shore."
"Huh?"
Zhou Yu stood up as soon as he stood up, and said while quickly putting on his armor: "Wake everyone up quickly." ”
After leaving the room, Zhou Yu asked again, "How many enemies are there?" Where did they come from, and why hadn't they been spotted earlier? ”
The former point is very important, but the latter point makes Zhou Yu very angry. The Liaodong Army, especially the Navy, has long relied on the advantages of warships and has no opponents, and gradually has a sense of arrogance, and some basic things are not taken into account, just like this very important night defense, which has also been neglected a lot.
In this regard, Zhou Yu is quite dissatisfied, but his qualifications are too shallow, and when he sits in his current position, there are actually many people who are dissatisfied in their hearts, and it is only because the prestige of Master Gongsun Du is too great that no one dares to refute it. But it is precisely because of this that Zhou Yu led the army south to attack Yingzhou.
Merit is something more important than seniority.
As long as Yingzhou is won, there will be enough merit at that time, and even if Zhou Yu is young and has little qualifications, no one will be dissatisfied.
"The enemy is less than three thousand."
"Less than three thousand?"
Zhou Yu couldn't help but pause when he heard this, and immediately continued to move forward, but he slandered in his heart: Just such a little person, dare to surround the camp? Although there are not many soldiers ashore, there are also thousands, and the gap is not big!
With such doubts, Zhou Yu quickly boarded the boat and headed towards the shore.
"This ......"
When he arrived on the shore and saw the enemy, Zhou Yu was almost dumbfounded.
Spear? This can be had, but a pure wooden spear? Is it funny?
Shield? You can have the same, but you don't have a shield with a grinding plate, what's the use? Do you squat when you resist? Isn't that waiting for death?
And this bow and arrow looks like a shoddy thing no matter how you look at it, I really doubt that it can be scratched off the skin, as for killing people, forget it, is it funny?
"That's what you're talking about?" Zhou Yu glanced at the hundreds of enemy corpses on the ground, and asked the soldiers around him in disbelief.
The soldier's eyes were also full of disbelief, and he still hadn't been able to come back to his senses.
"Huh?"
Zhou Yu rolled his eyes and shouted, "Everyone immediately attack and take them down." ”
"Yes!"
The three hundred soldiers who came with them immediately rushed away, although they were naval troops, but there were a lot of armor and blades, that is, there were many weapons used for siege of the city, but it just took time to assemble them.
"Kill~"
The roaring shouts of killing sounded on the seashore.
When the sailors in the camp heard the movement, they also howled and killed.
The enemy, who was armed with inferior equipment, was not afraid, and shouted unintelligible words to meet him, as if he had not yet figured out the essential gap between the two sides.
Crush!
Absolute crushing, as soon as the battle was fought, the naval soldiers under Zhou Yu had the absolute upper hand and pressed the enemy to fight. In less than a stick of incense, the enemy army was defeated and fled. The sailors still did not give up, and rushed to catch up, capturing one prisoner after another.
In just half an hour, the war was over.
No more than 300 sailors were wounded, and all of them were slightly wounded, and none of them were killed in battle. But also, with that spear and small wooden bow, how can you kill a well-equipped naval soldier.
The enemy killed thousands, captured a thousand, and only a few hundred escaped, and all of them fled to the mountains and forests by virtue of their familiarity with the terrain.
Due to the language barrier, even though many prisoners were captured, it was only after a day of interrogation that he learned some information from a captive who barely understood some Chinese.
According to the captives, they belonged to Tsushima, a large tribe near the sea, with a population of about 10,000 people, and a very high voice in the country.
To the south of Tsushima there are many other countries, yes, a lot. Moreover, I heard that further away, the number of countries is even more, I don't know whether it is dozens, hundreds, or even thousands......
Zhou Yu didn't believe these last words, even if a country only has three or five tribes and a total population of only fifty or sixty thousand, but if there are a hundred countries, there will be five or six million, and if there are thousands, it will be tens of millions.
"Yingzhou is only two or three counties so big, there will be so many people? Want to scare people? ”
