Chapter 9: The First Battle of the Navy (1)
Dengzhou has jurisdiction over Penglai, Huangxian, Muping, Wendeng and other 4 counties, and governs Penglai.
However, it was said that Sun Li received Shi Jin's order, and with his newly expanded 5,000 soldiers and horses and the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the deputy general Zhu Tong, he marched towards Dengzhou with momentum along the way.
The speed at which this force advances, that's called fast.
Moreover, the army led by Sun Li almost did not encounter any decent resistance, and came to the vicinity of Dengzhou.
Among them, the defenders of Huangxian and other cities that passed along the way directly surrendered one after another.
Sun Li was happy and felt in his heart. At this rate, you will be able to reach Penglai tomorrow, and as long as you take Penglai down again, this Laizhou will be won.
At this moment, Zhu Gui's secret agents sent the latest information.
Sun Li read the intelligence of the spy and ordered his subordinates to camp thirty miles away from Penglai, so that the soldiers could prepare for the attack on the city tomorrow.
In the sea breeze, the lanterns fluttering on the camp fluttered in the wind.
Sun Li, deputy general Zhu Tong and partial generals Sun Xin, Zou Run and others stood on the arrow tower of the camp and looked in the direction of Penglai.
Sun Li turned his head to the deputy general Zhu Tong and said, "General Zhu, what do you think about attacking Penglai tomorrow?" ”
Although he is the main general this time, Zhu Tong's official position is the same level as himself. Moreover, Zhu Tong had a good relationship with the leaders of Liangshan, and Sun Li didn't want to offend this person, so he asked Zhu Tong for a favor.
When Zhu Tong heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hand to Sun Liyi and said: "General Sun, you are familiar with Dengzhou, and I will listen to the general's dispatch in tomorrow's battle!" ”
If Zhu Tong is unwilling to cooperate, or if he has plans to compete for merit, Sun Li is not easy to do. Seeing Zhu Tong so interesting, Sun Li was very happy, he smiled slightly and said to Zhu Tong: "General Zhu, you see that along the way, wherever our army went, this city was surrendered, which shows the prestige of our army. If the governor of Dengzhou is interested and surrenders, I will not embarrass him. But if he resists stubbornly, then our department will attack the west gate, and you will attack the south gate, and see who can attack first and win the first credit! ”
Zhu Tong nodded when he heard it and said, "General Sun's arrangement is proper." However, the last general heard that the king of Nadeng Prefecture was treacherous and cunning, and he was afraid that he would cheat tomorrow. General Sun is still careful! ”
Sun Lihaha laughed and said: "General Zhu don't worry, when I was in Dengzhou as a soldier and horse commander, I knew that he was not a good person. However, no matter how treacherous and cunning he is, he needs to be strong and strong, but now in front of our Liangshan army, those Song soldiers are just shrimp soldiers and crab generals. And I've got a plan to guard against him! ”
Sun Xin also interjected and shouted: "My brother Sun Li was the best military horse in Dengzhou back then. Several times when the grass came to the city, it was only because my brother killed and dispersed that he saved the whole city, but the king saw that we were outsiders, and he didn't reward us for his merits, and he suppressed us everywhere. If he doesn't know him tomorrow, he will have to stab him ten times if he is caught, and the revenge of the day will be resolved! ”
Sun Xin said that, and looked at Penglai City with a hint of hatred.
Hearing Sun Xin's hatred, Sun Li shook his head and said: "The marshal treats these civil officials well, if he surrenders, you must not be reckless, so as not to ruin the reputation of the marshal!" And this time we go back to Dengzhou, it can be said that we have returned to our hometown, but I am afraid that our colleagues in the old days will be afraid, who dares to be disrespectful to us! ”
When Sun Xin heard his eldest brother say this, he thought that after capturing Penglai City, those former colleagues and old friends would be jealous and envious when they saw him. Thinking of this, Sun Xin couldn't help but feel proud.
When you enter the city tomorrow, you must ride a horse and walk through the main gate in front of the people of the city with the support of everyone, showing off!
……
The next morning, Penglai City, which is located on the coast of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, was filled with sea fog, and it looked like an ethereal fairyland from a distance.
However, this "fairyland" is full of the atmosphere of killing at this time.
After the soldiers of the Liangshan Army had a full meal, under the leadership of Sun Li, they slowly approached Penglai City.
Outside the city of the Liangshan army, which had high morale, Sun Xin took the lead and called for the enemy.
Sun Xin didn't scream twice, but suddenly there were a few clicks, the closed city gate opened, and the drawbridge was lowered.
A man dressed in a capital costume, holding the sigil of Zhizhou and the household register of Dengzhou, came to Sun Xin tremblingly.
Sun Xin knew the person in front of him, and heard that he had been promoted to Wang Wen, the governor of Dengzhou.
Although they knew, Sun Xin still shouted: "Who is here?" ”
Wang Wen said tremblingly: "Adult, the little one is Wang Wen." Back then, I went to the Immortal Tower with you to drink flower wine! ”
Sun Xin heard Wang Wen shouting on the spot about going to the Qinglou with him back then, and Sun Xin almost fell off the horse. He sat down and shouted with a straight face, "What are you doing here?" ”
Wang Wen saw that Sun Xin seemed to be unhappy, and hurriedly said: "My lord, when I heard that General Sun led the army to come, the king of Zhizhou said that as long as you treat the officials of Dengzhou and the people well, Penglai is willing to surrender the city, and I hope the general will be gracious!" ””
After speaking, Wang Wen knelt down on one knee and presented the talisman and household register with both hands.
Sun Xin didn't dare to call the shots in this matter, so he hurriedly ran back to Sun Li to ask for instructions.
Sun Li stepped forward, looked at Wang Wen coldly, and suddenly shouted: "Is it a sincere surrender, don't you want to trick us into the city, and then come to an urn to catch turtles?" ”
Wang Wen shuddered and said in a lost voice: "General, how dare the little one have such an idea?" If you cheat the general and provoke Marshal Shi, the people of Penglai will not suffer in the future! ”
Sun Xin hurriedly said to Sun Li: "Big brother, this Wang Wen has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, forgive him and dare not deceive us!" ”
Sun Li nodded and said, "Get up and speak!" ”
When Wang Wen heard this, he stood up, but still bowed his head respectfully.
Sun Li asked as if casually, "General Wang, let me ask you." How many defenders are there in Penglai City now? ”
Wang Wen hurriedly said: "General Hui, now there are only 5,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in Penglai City, as well as more than 3,000 sailors!" ”
When Sun Li heard this, he estimated it in his heart. He nodded, turned his head to Zhu Tong and said, "General Zhu, for the sake of an accident, you lead your troops and horses to stay outside the city for the time being." When our army has taken over all the four cities, you can enter the city again! ”
Zhu Tong also knew that this was a complete strategy, so he naturally agreed. Immediately shouted: "Order! ”
At that moment, Sun Li ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters and let Sun Xin take the lead in entering the city.
Seeing that Sun Li agreed, Wang Wenwen said flatteringly: "General Sun, the villain will show you the way." In the future, I will ask General Sun to take care of the little ones! ”
Sun Li led the Liangshan army and slowly marched towards the city.
Sun Xin walked at the front of the team, Wang Wen helped Sun Xin lead the horse, and nodded to Sun Xin from time to time to introduce some of the latest things in Penglai City.
The point is who is the most popular number one card in the Xian Building, and what new things are there, etc.!
Although Sun Xin still had a straight face, his face gradually relaxed.
Although the Liangshan Army is strong and majestic, the military discipline is strict, where does Sun Xin dare to violate military regulations, and he is close to women.
After staying in the barracks for two months in a row, I have long been suffocated.
After capturing Penglai City, you must indulge it.
At this time, the city gate of Penglai was wide open, and several soldiers defending the city stood respectfully on both sides of the road.
After entering the city, Sun Li waved his hand, and a group of soldiers hurriedly rushed to the head of the city, preparing to take over the defense of the city gate.
And the large army continued to surround Sun Li and slowly walked into the city gate.
At this time, Wang Wen said to Sun Xin respectfully: "All the big and small officials in this city are still waiting for the news of the villain in the mansion. The villain had gone to inform them and asked them to welcome the general. ”
Sun Xindu thought about fighting a few more tonight, and nodded without thinking much about it.
Wang Wen immediately ran forward quickly, just when he opened a distance with Liang Shanjun.
Suddenly, there was a gong sound.
The Song soldiers guarding the city gate drew their broadswords one after another and slaughtered Sun Li's army.
When Sun Li saw this situation, he immediately knew that it was not good. He was lucky and shouted: "Sun Xin, return to the battle and hold on, as long as you guard the city gate, these young people will have no way to take our army!" ”
But at the same time as Sun Li's angry shouts sounded.
"Bump!"
The jack gate of the city gate immediately fell, blocking the city gate and dividing the Liangshan army into two.
On the city wall, countless Song soldiers ran out of the cave and killed the Liangshan army who was about to take over the city.
On the houses on both sides of the main street, a large number of Song soldiers appeared, holding strong bows and facing Sun Li's troops on the road below.
Under the protection of a group of people, Wang Shizhong, the governor of Dengzhou, came out and shouted: "Sun Li, you dog thief, you have been tricked by me, when will you not surrender at this time!" ”
Seeing Wang Shizhong, Sun Li's face was magnificent, and he roared angrily: "Dog official, you think you are smart. But I didn't expect our army to inquire about your tricks a long time ago, and Lao Tzu would have been guarding against your tricks a long time ago! ”
With Sun Li's roar, Wang Shizhong, the governor of Dengzhou, suddenly heard a noisy noise behind him, and was about to send someone to ask what happened, when a soldier ran over with a panicked face and shouted: "Report!" A group of rebels suddenly appeared in the city, and they were coming this way. General Yang asked the Lord to send some soldiers to help. ”
Before Wang Shizhong could react, another soldier hurriedly ran over and shouted: "My lord, it's not good, someone is attacking the swordfish water village, and Li Inspector asks the adult to send troops to support quickly!" ”
In order to guard against the Liao State, the Song Dynasty built the swordfish village in the north of Penglai City, under the Danya Mountain, Linhai, placed the swordfish inspection, docked more than 100 swordfish wars, and the garrison had more than 3,000 people, which was the most important naval base in the north and the southern gate of Penglai.
Once the swordfish village is lost, Penglai City will also face the threat from the sea!
Dengzhou Zhizhou Wang Shizhong was shocked when he heard it.
At this time, outside the saury water village. There are no trees on the sea.
The ten sea ships of the Liangshan Navy have such a large formation, far away, and the Song soldiers in Shuizhai can see it clearly.
In this strategic adjustment, Shi Jin must return to Jeju and keep an eye on the movements of the imperial court and Jiangnan.
Therefore, the attack on Dengzhou can only appoint Sun Li.
However, Dengzhou is a big deal and must be taken smoothly. Before setting out on the expedition, Shi Jin gave Sun Li the authority to transfer the Liangshan Navy.
When Sun Li was close to Penglai, he first sent someone to inform Zhang Shun and others in Liu Dao and sent the navy to help.
This Dengzhou Water Village, since the establishment of the village, in addition to fighting with the Liao Navy at the beginning, is now mainly to catch pirates, and the most important smuggling ship. For decades, no one dared to take the initiative to attack him, and the Song soldiers in this water village were very relaxed.
Hearing the siren of the gong, Song Bing was confused for a while before finally taking the initiative to counterattack under the order of Inspector Li.
With the dispatch of one after another swordfish battles, the bay was full of warships for a while.
Although he only has ten sea ships, the enemy has hundreds of swordfish warplanes, which is ten times more than his own. But Zhang Shun is completely fearless!
Li inspected and saw that there were only ten enemy ships, and he was also full of confidence at the moment, so he immediately attacked with a sailor and surrounded Zhang Shun's ships separately.
The swordfish warship is slender and streamlined, and its speed is very fast.
Inspector Li personally stood at the bow of the ship with a knife, looking very majestic and majestic.
Zhang Shun stood on the pole of the boat, and when he saw the Song army's sailors swarming on it, ready to surround him, he laughed for a while.
Zhang Shun immediately ordered his fleet to rush diagonally.
The two fleets were soon approaching under the blowing of the sea breeze, and just as Inspector Li was about to start the battle of the strings, he suddenly saw nearly fifty black iron balls streak across the sky, flying towards his sailors' fleet.
Standing at the bow of the ship, Li Inspector looked at the iron ball in the sky, and was a little confused.
This iron ball smashing on people's heads is a certain threat, but how effective is it like this? Could it be that these thieves still expect to defeat us with these iron balls?
Too arrogant!
Just when Inspector Li was puzzled, a loud "boom ......" sounded.
The iron ball exploded directly in the sky, and although most of them fell on the uninhabited sea, nearly eleven of them still exploded on the head of the swordfish battle, and countless Song soldiers were killed and injured by the scattered shrapnel.
There were even one or two that exploded near the waterline of the ship, directly blowing up a big hole, and the sea water desperately poured in. It didn't take long for the ship to sink to the bottom of the sea.
The bombs that fell into the sea, although they did not hurt anyone, but the air and water waves that rolled up also overturned several small boats.
Zhang Shun stood on the high pole of the boat, and when he saw that the effect of this round of shelling was average, he immediately shouted loudly: "You bunch of rabbits, aim for Lao Tzu!" These are all treasures, and we managed to get less than a thousand shells. Dare to waste, Lao Tzu has hacked you alive! ”
"Yes! Checkmate. ”
Tong Wei and Tong Meng on other ships also scolded their subordinates again and again.
However, no matter how much Zhang Shun and Tong Wei scolded them, without the aiming assist system, judging by the human eye alone, it is impossible to have a high hit rate in the fluctuating sea launch catapult.
Even if the Song army's sailors rushed up in a swarm and lined up in a dense formation.
However, most of the thunderbolts still fell on the sea.
Although the hit rate is not high, under the successive explosions, the Song Army's sailors are in chaos.
Fighting on the water, that idiot soldier dares to wear iron armor, once he falls into the water, he will die!
These sailors, to be better, are holding rattan armor. Most of the sailors were cloth.
As soon as the thunderbolt exploded on the bow of the ship, the iron pieces and iron beads flew in all directions, and the soldiers on the ship either had their heads exploding or their bodies were full of fragments, convulsions and excessive blood loss and died.
These sailors have been comfortable for too long, where have they seen such a terrifying scene, many Song soldiers saw the tragic appearance of their companions, holding on to the side of the boat and vomiting non-stop.
For a time, the Song Army's sailors fell into chaos!
