Three hundred and forty-one Attack again

Now the sailors led by Li Buqi have a resounding name - Guangzhou City Ship Division Patrol Navy. It's nondescript!

Li Buqi really couldn't think of any genius who came up with this idea and assigned such a powerful fleet that is now one of the most powerful on the planet to the small Guangzhou City Bosi. From this name, it can be seen that those people in the Great Song Dynasty still did not realize the importance of the navy, and still regarded the navy as a patrol to catch pirates and check whether merchant ships had evaded taxes. Probably when the war is over, they will no longer be able to maintain this fleet that costs a lot of money, even if this fleet can cut off the sea transportation of the Cochins and go straight to the heart of the Cochins. This is the gap in concept!

However, the concept can be changed step by step, and in the future, as long as the cochins are laid, it will be impossible for anyone who wants to abolish this navy.

Now, although this navy has been aggrieved and has been named by the city inspection department, it does not affect its huge scale. This time, in order to transport the prisoners, the number of Fu ships with more than 3,000 materials alone was increased by four, and the number of clippers was increased by 12 new 12-oared Haigu warships built in Fujian and 6 new six-oared fast boats built in Guangzhou. The bow of the new six-oared clipper in Guangzhou is based on the sharp bow shape of the Arabian sailing ship, and is equipped with ram angles, and the hull is close to streamlined, which can be regarded as a high-tech product of this era. Li Buqi believes that whether in terms of technology or tonnage, this fleet should be one of the best fleets on the earth in this era.

Such a huge scale is naturally not something that the people of Jiaozhi can compete with. After the fleet completed its last replenishment in Qiongzhou, it went straight to the Vietnamese coastal defense, and when it reached the vicinity of Cat Ba Island, the large ships set up a defensive formation and slowly sailed to block the eastern exit of the bay, and then the clipper fleet searched for the Jiaozhi ships along the coast from south to north. Because the sea falcons and six-oared clippers were much faster than the cochin fishing boats, the cochin boats did not have time to raise the alarm.

At this time, there was only one small fishing village in Haiphong, where the Clippers found only a few fishing boats. After setting fire to the fishing boats, the flotilla rushed into Halong Bay from the south.

Here, Wang Wanshun and Gao Qi, who led the clippers, were overjoyed to find hundreds of ships of all kinds scattered around the harbor and in the bay, and immediately commanded the fleet to pounce on them and set them on fire with ballistas, trebuchets and oil bottles.

Last time, the Great Song Sailor didn't dare to enter Halong Bay at all, and the Jiaozhi people never expected that the Song people would be so fierce this time, completely defenseless, and even because they didn't even have a sentry in their own home. When the Jiaozhi people on the shore of the ship found out that it was not good, they had no time to react, and almost watched the ships being engulfed in flames one by one or captured by the Song people. Standing on the top of the hill on Cat Ba Island, Li Buqi could clearly see the black smoke rising into the sky in the distance. He felt a little pity, because Li Changjie was dead and couldn't see all this.

Bai Pinghai stood beside Li Buqi, using Li Buqi's telescope to stretch his neck to look in that direction, but it was still a little far away, and he couldn't see clearly at all. He had no choice but to unwillingly put down the binoculars and said to Li Buqi with a smile on his face: "The envoy is really a clever plan. This time it was bound to be another big victory. The envoy is not only unstoppable on land, but also unmatched at sea. ”

Although he knew that Bai Pinghai was a sycophant, Li Buqi wanted to have a good relationship with him, so he also smiled and said: "Bai Inspector doesn't have to praise me, I didn't fight this battle, I'm just a name, and the credit belongs to your navy." ”

Li Buqi's style of acting Bai Pinghai has been clear for half a year, he knows that Li Buqi will never compete with them for merit if he says this, and this big credit falls on his head, so he can't help but be overjoyed, and said again and again: "Thank you for your care." ”

Li Buqi reminded him: "But there is a sentence here to remind you." You have been at sea for many years and have a lot of experience, but in the future, the scale of this sailor will become larger and larger, the number of warships will become more and more, and the operation will be more complicated by sailors and marines, and experience alone will not be enough. So if you want to do well and make a lot of contributions, you need to support those young people. ”

This time, the sailor became the inspector of the city's ship, and Bai Pinghai, the inspector, became the nominal leader of the navy, Gao Qi was appointed as the deputy inspector, and many maritime merchants' sons were appointed as officers, so Bai Pinghai naturally knew what Li Buqi was referring to. He hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry, we know that we will eat a few bowls of dry rice and will not talk nonsense." ”

Li Buqi smiled again and said, "It's not that you can't speak. You have been at sea for 20 years, and there are not many people who have more experience at sea than you, and you have to help these young people think more about many things, so that you are worthy of your inspection. ”

Bai Pinghai nodded again and again on the surface, but secretly wondered in his heart: "What does Li Daguan mean by this?" Did you really involve me in naval planning? When to speak and when not to speak, the scale is not easy to grasp! ”

Li Buqi, like all leaders, said this sentence and left Bai Pinghai alone to tease the boring son. Looking back at Bai Haiping, who looked like he couldn't settle the accounts, Li Buqi could only shake his head helplessly - some things are just not easy to express, and the subordinates can't blame the leader for thinking too much.

In the evening, several fleets of ships that entered Halong Bay came to report that this tourist destination of later generations had been cleaned, and even three crazy six-oared clippers rushed into the Bai Teng River and sank several cochin boats. However, the Clippers were not without losses, one of the 300 clippers was besieged and burned by the Jiaozhi fireboats, and two Haigu ships had to be set on fire by themselves because they ran aground in shallow waters and ran aground because of the pursuit of the Jiaozhi boats.

Fortunately, the results are the main thing, and the results are brilliant, destroying more than 100 large and small ships in Jiaozhi, and it is estimated that there are not many ships in Jiaozhi people who can go to the far sea.

The Marines had set up camp on Cat Ba Island, and the fleet rested for the night in the bay of Cat Ba Island. The next day, Li Buqi sent a fleet of ships south along the coast to search again, and if it came across a Jiaozhi boat, even a canoe would be sunk. If there were no Jiaozhi people at sea, they went ashore to capture the prisoners. Of course, the army on Cat Ba Island could not be idle, and Li Buqi sent out all the marines and a trainee unit that could fight in his hands, and let them go ashore to rob.

Now Li Buqi has two marines in his hands, both of which are mercenaries. One was to pull the soldiers who had come down from the mountains to the sea and let them get on board, and to pick out those who did not get seasick, leaving more than 600 in all. There is another one, but it is a strongman from the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong, who heard that Li Daguan was recruiting troops and horses, not only because he was afraid that he would be suppressed by Li Daguan, but also because he wanted to make a fortune with Li Daguan, so they came to defect one after another, and Li Bu abandoned and formed a marine corps.

These two teams are characterized by fierce fighting, but the discipline is very poor, if the two armies face each other, Li Buqi really does not dare to let them go into battle. But while the enemy is not yet prepared, these people are the best at robbing this kind of thing, and they are more expert than Li Buqi.

As for the internship unit, it was composed of recruited fishermen and conscripted militiamen, which was the team that Li Buqi focused on cultivating. But most of the people in this team are good boys, and they may not be able to do this job well if they are allowed to rob and kidnap people, so they should go ashore to see the world.

In the next ten days, Li Buqi asked at most how many Jiaozhi people he had arrested every day, and someone naturally took care of other things. He sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day, and then either wears a bamboo hat to the beach to pick up seafood, or takes a fishing rod to find a place to fish, which is really a fairy life. Of course, Li Buqi will also complain in his heart about the lack of iced soda and bikini beauties while sitting under the umbrella and drinking tea.

In seven or eight days, the Cochin people no longer rushed to the marines in waves, but came in a large wave, some of which were equipped with armor and weapons, and elephants to help, which seemed to be a serious Cochin army. The marines who were born as soldiers and strongmen resolutely carried out Li Buqi's instructions that they would never touch the hard, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately ran back to the ship and set sail into the sea. The Cochin people basically only have some small sampans now, and they don't dare to pursue, so they can only stare dryly on the shore.

In this way, it is not so easy to land on both sides of the Baiteng River, but the coastline of Jiaozhi is very long. Li Buqi sent two mercenaries to the south to kill the mouth of the Red River, capturing Jiaozhi Qingzhuang along the way. When it was about to enter June, in order to avoid the typhoon, Li Buqi ordered all the Jiaozhi captives who were digging rocks in the mountains to be loaded onto ships, and then plundered all the way along the coast through Qinzhou, Lianzhou and Leizhou Peninsula back to Guangzhou.
