The two of them collided passionately in the room, but one person outside the house was in pain. My wife was made to cry and grab the ground by others, ** again and again, I didn't dare to go out and do something to that 'adulterer'. Park Zhen bit his lip aggrievedly, bit his lip and bit his fingers, and bit his fingers and his clothes. Let the tears and snot be presumptuous.

If Duoduo is still like this, his subordinates are even more unscrupulous. From the Qing army entered Korea from Manpo, burning, killing and looting along the way, doing all kinds of evil.

At the same time, Huang Taiji also sent a large number of troops to besiege Jinzhou, and adopted a long-term siege policy, which was bound to be overcome. The Qing soldiers forced the city to camp and besiege it, and the Ming Jinzhou garrison was in a hurry. For the Ming Dynasty, the line of defense formed by these strongholds was the lifeline of the arch guarding the gates, which must be defended at all costs. In order to save the crisis in Liaodong, the Ming court sent Hong Chengchou to lead the Xuanfu general Yang Guozhu, the Datong general soldier Wang Pu, the Miyun general soldier Tang Tong, the Jizhou general soldier Bai Guangen, the Yutian general soldier Cao Bianjiao, the Shanhaiguan general soldier Ma Ke, the former Tun guard general soldier Wang Tingchen, and the Ningyuan general soldier Wu Sangui and other so-called eight general soldiers and horses, led 130,000 elite soldiers and 40,000 horses to help, gathered Ningyuan, and fought with the Qing soldiers. Hong Chengchou had a certain amount of experience in actual combat, and the Ming army he led was temporarily mobilized by eight border towns. Although the soldiers were elite soldiers, the generals in the late Ming Dynasty were notoriously arrogant, and whether or not they could obey Hong Chengchou's unified orders in battle was the biggest obstacle to Hong Chengchou's ability to give full play to his commanding ability. Therefore, Hong Chengchou advocated slowly approaching Jinzhou, setting up camp step by step, fighting and defending, and not fighting lightly. Hong Chengchou controlled the commanding heights from Songshan to Jinzhou, and severely defeated the Qing army with the Lingli offensive, and the situation in Jinzhou began to improve.

Moreover, after the defeat in the last naval battle in the Yellow Sea, Shang Kexi thought that his ship was small and not conducive to fighting in the open sea, so he planned to build 150 Dafu ships in the Lushunkou of Jinzhou Zhongzuo and in the present-day Dalian Bay Shipyard in the south of Jinzhouwei, and managed to transfer a large number of Hongyi cannons from the military construction. Along with this information, a detailed topographic map of Lushunkou and Dalian Bay was sent to Dengzhou

"Ha~ Jinyiwei is really Jinyiwei, it's really omnipotent." Song Youliang, who saw the information, was drinking with Jinyiwei at this time to calm Wu Mengming, "Big brother, you Jinyiwei are really godly!" ”

Wu Mengming smiled proudly: "That is, when I wanted Lord Wanli to send troops to Korea to conquer the Japanese invaders, our Jinyi Wei sent a detailed map of North Korea to Lord Li Rusong, which marked a trail that the Koreans themselves did not know. Lord Li took advantage of this to burn countless grain and grass in one fell swoop. This is abroad, that place in Liaodong is our own land in the Ming Dynasty, can it still be clear? ”

Under the impetus of Song Youliang, Wu Mengming and his Jinyi guards are quietly transforming. Originally, it was only responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, but now it has also extended new functions such as intelligence gathering, assassination, and sabotage. The destruction of the Maoshan Iron Mine is a case in point

According to Jinyiwei's intelligence, Shang Kexi's main shipyard is in Dalian Bay, and in order to defend this bay, Shang Kexi has also invested enough money to build forts on both sides of the entrance to the bay, and set up thousands of catties of Hongyi cannons. Battleships armed with Hongyi cannons lined up along the mouth of Dalian Bay. In addition to this, the shipyards on the shore were stationed with six thousand elite soldiers.

Wu Mengming looked at the information and said with a smile: "Jun Ma, this Shang Kexi is a fierce sailor under Mao Wenlong back then, how are you going to deal with it?" ”

"Preemptive~" Song Youliang drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp

It makes sense for Shang Kexi to choose Dalian Bay as his main naval base and shipyard, because the southwest headland of Dalian Bay is called Huangshan, the east is called the old dragon's head, and the northeast headland is called Monk Island, and the left and right arches and hugs, and the situation is dangerous. With a width of 11 kilometers, it is the largest bay along the Yellow Sea. At the mouth of the bay, there are three mountain islands in the screen, facing each other across the sea with the Shandong Peninsula, choking the Bohai Strait together, guarding the northeast and the gateway of Beijing and Tianjin, and the strategic position is prominent.

At 7:00 a.m. on 13 January, the outpost of the Qing Army's naval division stationed on Sanshan Island discovered the mast of the Ming Army's naval division and the sun and moon flag fluttering high.

Shang Kexi was very surprised by the arrival of the Ming Dynasty sailors, because according to common sense, the Dalian area is the East Asian monsoon belt, with northwest winds blowing in winter and southeast winds in summer. The Ming Dynasty sailors were in the south, and if they wanted to attack north, they should also choose in the summer, so that they could come north with the wind.

Of course, it would be unfair to say that Shang Kexi was not prepared for Song Youliang's attack, when he was just in Dalian Bay, he had discussed the possible attack of the Ming army with the generals under his command, and everyone's opinions were almost the same, that is, to line up in battle formations at the anchorage to fight, rather than going to the Hornmouth Harbor to fight with the big ships of the Ming army. The reason for this was that the Shang Kexi navy had suffered heavy losses in personnel after the last naval battle, and the newly recruited sailors were generally undertrained, with a quarter of them under the age of 18, a fifth over 50 years old, and the young and strong ones all requisitioned by the army to attack Jinzhou. It is difficult for these recruits to maintain a correct battle formation on the sea, and Shang Kexi thinks that in the face of an opponent like Song Youliang who likes to take the initiative, it is better to be old and serious, and wait for work, in other words, Shang Kexi is ready to set up an iron bucket formation for Song Youliang. So Shang Kexi lined up the seventy-six Daifuku ships that had been completed, stretching from Monk Island to Lao Longtou. And built a fort on Monk Island and Laolongtou, and set up Hongyi cannons

At 7:35 a.m., when the Ming navy was riding the wind from south to north, Shang Kexi realized that he had made a small mistake, his queue was far away from the old dragon head fort, and could not provide strong support. In desperation, Shang Kexi could only transfer the army stationed at the shipyard to bypass the distance of half a bay to support

Sure enough, the Ming army first carried out a fierce artillery bombardment of the old dragon head battery, and the defenders of the battery put up a stubborn resistance, but they had no way to resist the onslaught of nearly a thousand cannons, and by the time of the unitary, before the sun set, the old dragon head battery was destroyed. In this way, a nail was pulled out of the iron bucket array that was still gratifying. Moreover, the forward of Shang Kexi's fleet also lost cover, which was not consistent with Shang Kexi's estimate, and he believed that the Ming army would attack the uncovered tail of his formation first. However, he was not too nervous, because the sun had already set, and in those days, the navy did not attack at night, and everything would start again tomorrow morning. During the night, he was also able to adjust some of his deployments. He also believed that his bucket array was seamless.

The sky was getting dark, and on the Dingyuan, the flagship of the Ming Army's naval division, Song Youliang was discussing the next battle plan with Gan Hui and Gu Sanmazi. In front of Song Youliang and the others was a sand table in Dalian Bay, and Gan Hui pointed to the direction of the old dragon's head and said: "The fort here has been destroyed, and the right flank of the Tartars has lost its help, so we should attack from here." ”

Gu San Mazi shook his head and said: "I see that the warships of the Tartars are close to each other, and they should attack the Chinese army directly with a light fireboat, imitate the Battle of Chibi, and burn the serial ships." ”

Gan Hui shook his head and said: "The Tartar warships are close to each other, but they are not connected, maybe we can burn a few of them, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to break the bones." ”

Song Youliang was also worried, the front of the iron bucket formation of the Qing army was indeed powerful, and if he relied on his own new warships to fight hard, it was not impossible to win, but the cost was too great. "The two of you will add it up, and I'll go out to get some air~!"

Song Youliang threw down Gan Hui and Gu San Mazi, walked out of the cabin alone, came to the bow of the ship, raised his binoculars and looked at the Shang Kexi fleet in the distance, hoping to find some flaws in it.

"Huh?" Song Youliang suddenly discovered something

It turned out that in order to make the iron bucket array separate and combined, so that there would be no situation like the Chibi War, there was a large enough gap between each warship. Therefore, the warships threw the anchor on one side, so that they could pull the anchor at any time and set sail. In other words, their hulls are not fixed, but drift to the east or to the west with the direction of the wind at anchor. It was now a northwesterly wind, blowing the Qing ship to the east side, so that on the westernmost side of Shang Kexi's fleet, a gap in the length of the ship was exposed. This gap was originally under the protection of the old dragon head fort, and it was inconspicuous. Now, it is this gap that has become the weakness of Shang Kexi's iron bucket array.

"There's a way!" Song Youliang excitedly returned to the cabin, "Gu San, you lead your brothers through this gap~" Song Youliang pointed to the vicinity of the old dragon's head fort, "Gan Hui, you lead the big ship to attack from the front." ”
