Chapter 492: Shi Lang vs. Liu Guoxuan

Shi Lang not only made a detailed report on Liu Guoxuan's situation to you Lin Yi, but also focused on introducing him to the situation of Zheng Zhilong's five good generals.

Lin Yi also had some impressions of this Liu Guoxuan before he crossed over, but now after Shi Lang, Lin Yi is clear to Liu Guoxuan, knowing that he is one of the five good generals under Zheng Zhilong, and he also knows that now there is only one Liu Guoxuan left under Zheng Zhilong's five good generals to rely on, because Shi Lang, Shi Xian, Zheng Chenggong, Zeng De, this is the surrender of the checkmate.

Zheng Zhilong now let Liu Guoxuan take the stage to worship the commander, wantonly carry out some reforms, and make great efforts, obviously to rely on this person to confront the Ming Dynasty, if this Liu Guoxuan can be cleaned up, Zheng Zhilong can only surrender obediently.

Therefore, after Lin Yi discussed with Shi Lang, he decided to use troops against Funing County to defeat Zheng Zhilong's reliance.

In the waters of Funing County, Liu Guoxuan's 20,000 sailors and more than 200 warships of size are ready to deal with it, and the ship's thousand-pound Franc machines, musketeers and archers are all ready to go.

Shi Lang led the Ming Dynasty with 100,000 sailors and 10,000 sailors coming to the sea, and Lin Yi handed over the command of this naval battle to Shi Lang. Because he knew that Shi Lang and Liu Guoxuan were chess opponents in history, just like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

But Lin Yi did not sit in the camp tent and wait for the battle report, but climbed high and looked into the distance, through the single-hole telescope, Lin Yi saw that Liu Guoxuan's sailor lineup was not strong. However, the appearance of the army is strictly ordered, and the soldiers of the southern army will be in good spirits. The sailor warships lined up in battle formation, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Liu Guoxuan was really good at leading troops, and his reputation was well deserved.

Shi Lang boarded the giant ship Yang Wei to personally command the naval battle, and the front of the Ming fleet took the lead in the charge.

More than 300 naval warships of the Ming Dynasty rushed to the naval camp of the Southern Army. At a distance of several hundred meters, the artillery of the two armies first launched a fierce attack, hitting the water column into the sky, like a mountain roaring like a tsunami. But the two sides did not continue for half an hour, Liu Guoxuan's sailors were defeated, and the sailors' warships hid in a bay, abandoned the ships and fled after docking.

Lin Yi saw that Liu Guoxuan was defeated so quickly? If so, isn't that in vain?

At this time, Shi Lang commanded the Ming army to pursue all the way and chased into this bay, who knew that just approaching the coast, the large fort of the southern army on the coast roared angrily, and the red-coated cannon roared earth-shatteringly. Dozens of Daming's naval warships were hit, and some were directly sunk. Some caught fire, were paralyzed, burned up at sea and lost their combat effectiveness.

At this time, Lin Yi's worries came true, and the naval division of the Southern Army, which had been defeated back to the shore, came back, and they boarded the warships one after another, shouting and rushing towards the Ming army, knowing that the front of the naval division was suddenly defeated.

Shi Lang was optimistic about the cunning Liu Guoxuan, and immediately led the main fleet to kill Liu Guoxuan's men. Yang Wei opened fire from a distance, and several warships of the Southern Army were hit and sunk. But when Shi Lang's tens of thousands of troops just arrived, the Nanjing Navy Division had all faded into the waters of Funing Bay.

Knowing that the artillery fire of the southern army on the shore was fierce, Shi Lang had to order to stop the pursuit, so far the two sides won and lost each other in this battle at sea.

When there was a fierce battle on the sea, the army on the shore was certainly not idle, and more than 100,000 Ming troops rushed to the county seat of Funing. At this time, Liu Guoxuan's 80,000 troops attacked on behalf of the defense, and when the Ming army just approached the county seat, the red-coated cannons on the head of the city and several fortresses outside the city opened fire on the Ming army at the same time.

The Ming army suffered heavy casualties for a while, and could not attack for a long time, and the water and land battles continued until dark, and the two sides temporarily stopped fighting.

And so the first day passed. The number of casualties was reported, and the Ming army lost more than 40 large and small warships, and the number of casualties on the sea and shore exceeded 4,000.

Lin Yi saw that this Liu Guoxuan was not easy to deal with, and he couldn't rely on the Yangwei battleship alone, because no matter how strong the firepower and tonnage of the Yang Wei giant ship were, he could only play a role at sea.

Now Liu Guoxiang is very cunning, taking measures to avoid his edge and carry out guerrilla warfare.

The Yangwei is not omnipotent, this giant ship cannot be compared with the artillery fire on the shore, and Shi Lang does not dare to let the Yangwei get close to the coast easily.

It was necessary to try to destroy the artillery fire on the shore, just as in the battle of Shi Lang in the Yangtze River, so that the Yangwei could successfully land on the shore, and the sailors could log in, and the naval division of the Southern Army seemed to have to use the marines.

As for the shore, Lin Yi decided not to use his standard battalion and the elite division of the invincible battalion for the first time. Because the southern army is now defending instead of attacking, and does not dare to start a field battle with the Ming army. The Ming army's elite fear combat power is not easy to play.

But Lin Yi didn't intend to give them a chance to breathe, and called in the red-clothed cannon to contain the southern army on the shore.

After Lin Yi and Shi Lang discussed the countermeasures, they began to deploy troops and adjust their strategic deployment......

Seeing that the Ming army had withdrawn, Liu Guoxuan began to reorganize his troops and horses, and strengthened the city defense in Nanjing at night to prevent the Ming army from projecting or counterattacking, so as to facilitate another battle.

At this time, Yang Cheng, the general in charge of the command of the sea operation, came to see Liu Guoxuan and said: "Marshal, the strength of the Ming army's naval division is strong, if it is not for the commander's good command, our army will definitely be defeated." In particular, their Yangwei pick-up can be called the overlord of the sea, and it is the first time to see such a mighty warship in the summer vacation. ”

Liu Guoxuan smiled lightly, "If they can defeat Shi Lang and the Dutch Hongmaozi Sailor Fleet, what they are counting on should be this giant ship formation, the funny thing is that later the Dutch Hongmaozi, with hundreds of warships, came to fight them violently, but as soon as he saw their formation, Hongmaozi fled in fright, and he didn't dare to stand, hahaha......"

Both men burst out laughing.

"What kind of sea overlord, in the eyes of his subordinates, these red-haired people are just vain, and the sailors commanded by the commander are veritable invincible at sea."

At this moment, Li Hu came and saluted Liu Guoxuan: "See Dashuai." ”

"What's the situation going on your side?" Liu Guoxuan nodded to her and asked him to sit down.

Yang Cheng and Li Hu were two lieutenants under Liu Guoxuan, one was responsible for commanding the water division and the other was specifically responsible for the patients in Anyang.

"Hahahaha. Happy, Dashuai, what Ming army is invincible in the world, this time they have suffered a lot, not to mention the frequent punishment to us, helpless, unable to advance an inch. "Li Hu is quick to talk, likes to shout and laugh in the mountains.

"What about your specific casualties?" Liu Guoxuan was in high spirits.

"Back to the commander's words, our warships suffered more than 30 casualties, and according to preliminary statistics, the casualties did not exceed 2,000. The Ming side suffered at least twice as many casualties as ours. ”

"Haha, this battle is too painful," Yang Cheng's voice just fell, Li Hu took the words, "Marshal, our soldiers defending the city and the soldiers in the fortress suffered fewer casualties, only a few hundred people, and the Ming army attacking the city fell down in rows, it is estimated that there are about five or six thousand, plus the casualties of the sailors, today's battle annihilated nearly 10,000 Ming troops, I haven't fought such a happy battle for a long time, Your Majesty heard the good news, how happy you are." ”

Liu Guoxuan also looked proud, but he did not get carried away, but warned Yang Cheng and Li Hudao: "You two must not underestimate the enemy, Shi Lang is not easy to deal with, and the neighboring prison country should not be underestimated, they suffered losses in the aftermath of the day, and they must beware of stealing camps and robbing villages, especially the water master." ”

"Please rest assured, guarantee that nothing goes wrong."

"General Mo has already prepared for them, as long as they dare to come, Guan Bao will make them worse than during the day."

Liu Guoxuan was very satisfied with the words of the second general, and then took the two of them to visit the wounded and sick, and then to see his city defense and naval division camp, the morale of the southern army was high, and the ammunition and garrisons were replenished in time.

A few days later, fierce battles broke out between the Southern and Ming armies in the Funing area, including the naval division and the troops on the shore.

The 100,000 Ming army sailors charged and pressed down Liu Guoquan's sailor fleet. In order to preserve his strength, Liu Guoxuan still adopted an active defense, defending instead of attacking, taking the initiative to retreat when encountering a strong enemy, luring the enemy into depth, waiting for an opportunity to attack, and destroying the enemy's living forces by means of mobile warfare.

But this time he couldn't play, and his playing style had been spotted by Lin Yi and Shi Lang. Just when Liu Guoxuan's main force retreated to the shore, the ships of the Ming Navy Division did not pursue. Although the artillery fire on the shore of the Southern Army was fierce, the naval divisions of the Ming Army were not within the range of their artillery fire.

Liu Guoxuan saw that Ming Jun had learned well this time. If you don't come to pursue, we won't take the initiative to attack, so let's just spend it like this, and see who can consume whom.

Seeing that Liu Guoxuan's sailors were not moving, Shi Lang ordered the fleet to move forward for a while, and the Yangwei fired a few more cannons at Nanjing's sailors and the shore, and when the artillery fire on the shore of the southern army roared, Shi Lang quickly ordered the fleet to withdraw from the range of artillery fire on the shore.

After several repetitions, the Southern Army figured out the intentions of the Ming Army, which was teasing them and wasting their ammunition, so the artillery on the shore of the Southern Army did not open fire easily.

Just when these two sailors were paying attention to their own strategies, the Ming marines had already quietly dispatched.

Nearly 400 famous generals put on their unique Marine uniforms and brought water splitting knives, divided into two groups, about 200 people each, and began their armed swim crossing, a distance of about five miles.

These girls took out the real skills that Lin Yi usually taught them, swam in the sea for a while, buried their heads in and snorkeled, and quickly pressed towards the naval fleet of the Southern Army and the batteries on the shore like hundreds of swimming fish.

Now these southern troops have become blind in the daytime, because their eyes are aimed at the naval warships of the Ming army, and they have not noticed the movement in the sea water at all.

More than half an hour later, the two Ming army squads of about 200 people had already approached the target.

Then the squad in the water divided the labor, with a small flag as a unit, that is, a small flag commander led 10 teammates to be in charge of a warship of the Southern Army.

After the division of labor, they suddenly jumped out of the water and boarded the enemy's warship. At the same time, another team of 200 people suddenly jumped out of the sea and began to land on the beach......
