The 121st Goguryeo Naval Division
As soon as Yan Qing entered Gao Shengnan's bedroom, the breath of true qi held in his body suddenly dispersed, and the person fainted before he could even say a word; Seeing Yan Qing come in for the first time, Gao Shengnan was still curious about why Yan Qing suddenly came back. Yan Qing fainted at this time and found that his chest had been red with blood, but he was not very conspicuous when he was dressed in black and didn't look carefully.
Gao Shengnan hurriedly ran forward, took away Yan Qing's hand covering his chest, carefully uncovered Yan Qing's clothes, and a bloody and hideous wound on his strong chest appeared in front of him, Gao Shengnan hurriedly covered his mouth to prevent himself from exclaiming.
She subconsciously looked left and right, pondered for a while, and used her strength to drag Yan Qing into her inner room, after doing all this, Gao Shengnan cleaned up the blood stains dripping from the house, and called the maid loudly, "You go to the internal hospital to call Chen Dianyao, just say that I am a little uncomfortable."
Chen Dianyao is worshiped by the royal court and is also an old man in the Gaozang Mansion, and Gao Shengnan now trusts only this person to save Yan Qing.
Yan Qing was safe, but he found that Beisha City had increased the intelligence of the ships, and he was unable to inform Di Feng because he was injured and hiding in Gao Shengnan's dormitory.
After receiving the news that Goguryeo was going to attack Wuhu Island from Su Zhen, Di Feng reported the news to Guo Beifeng in Dengzhou as soon as possible, and asked Guo Beifeng to send a sailor to help Wuhu Island, but after waiting for a few days, neither Dengzhou replied nor saw the sailor come, in desperation, Di Feng continued to urge Guo Beifeng to send troops quickly, and on the other hand sent a message to Li Ji in Yingzhou, explaining the situation on Wuhu Island.
Wuhu Island has done everything it can do. But time waits for no one, if the reinforcements are not available, the Goguryeo naval army will arrive first, and the more than 4,000 people on Ewuhu Island will not be able to resist the Goguryeo army attacking the island; For the sake of today's plan, everyone's opinion is to send the Ningzhou Navy Division to the sea, and first drag the Goguryeo Navy near Beisha City, as long as it can win enough time. As soon as the reinforcements arrived on Wuhu Island, there would be no more danger; But Li Duoqi and Tian Yangming are both generals immediately, and if they don't talk about naval warfare, they can't bear the halo boat, so they have no choice but Di Feng and Jiang Zhongshi, two leaders who know naval warfare, to go to sea, leaving the army to defend Wuhu Island while waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from Dengzhou Naval Division or Li Ji.
Tian Yangming and Li Duoqi were responsible for the protection of the two islands in the north and south of Wuhu Lake, Di Feng and Jiang Zhongshi led the Ningzhou Navy to go to sea to ambush the fleet of Goguryeo, and everyone dispersed according to the division of labor, and Di Feng organized sailors to board the ship on the one hand. On the one hand, scout yachts were sent to the sea to investigate first.
In the face of the vast sea, even the experienced Jiang Zhongshi could not accurately predict the route of the Goguryeo navy, and the four yachts could only fan forward to view based on their own visual distance.
The fleet of the Ningzhou Navy followed closely behind the yacht according to the battle formation, and the bow and sword were unsheathed and ready for battle at any time, and when the fleet went to sea, in the sea area twenty or thirty miles away from Beisha City, the yacht sent by Di Feng finally saw the Goguryeo Navy fleet.
Di Feng and Gao Sheji met, but both were dumbfounded; Di Feng didn't expect that there were so many ships sent by Goguryeo. It's not the two dozen or so mentioned in Su Chen's intelligence at all. And there are more than a dozen large warships, but it is too far away to see what type of ships it is;
And what Gao Sheji didn't expect was. Tang Junzhoushi will suddenly appear in the sea off Beisha City, and his first reaction is that Tang Junzhoushi is going to attack Beisha City, "Could it be that his judgment is wrong, and Li Ji is going to do it in advance without preparation?" This fleet was a fleet of Goguryeo with the support of Quannan, who transferred almost all of Goguryeo's warlike ships, hoping to take Wuhu Island in one fell swoop. Let Li Ji's army have no food and can hold out until the beginning of spring next year, there is no doubt that the Tang Army's naval division is strong, and if he is disabled by the Tang Army's naval division here, then his plan will all fall through.
But now it was too late to retreat, and his mind was in a hurry. He hurriedly ordered more than a dozen large ships in his rear to withdraw from the battlefield, bypass the Tang Army's boat division, and continue to attack Wuhu Island. And he himself has already made up his mind to die, even if he dies in battle, he will drag this Tang army fleet, so as to buy enough time for the dozen or so large ships that sneak attack Wuhu Island.
Gao Sheji's plan at this time was to use his own fleet to drag Di Feng and let the large ships continue to attack Wuhu Island; In this way, as long as Wuhu Island is taken, no matter what the purpose of the fleet in front of him is, once the grain and grass of the Liaodong army are destroyed, Li Ji will not be able to withdraw his army and go back to gather grain and grass from the new one, hundreds of thousands of troops, people eat horses and feed to raise enough grain and grass, I am afraid that they can only wait until next autumn harvest, with more than a year of respite, Goguryeo can also make up for the deficit caused by years of war. The Tang army attacked again, and Goguryeo also had the strength to resist.
Gao Sheji's move can be said to be to exchange his life for Goguryeo's time to breathe and recover, and when the big ship withdrew from the battlefield, Gao Sheji no longer hesitated, he gave an order, and the one hundred and thirty ships led by him rushed to the Di Feng fleet in a swarm.
As soon as the enemy ships rushed towards them, Jiang Zhongshi gave an order, and formed a defensive formation composed of building ships and new-style sea falcons, interspersed with the cooperation of ships and fighting ships, and the fleet was like the name of Jiang Zhongshi, which was as steady as a rock in the torrent of enemy ships' attacks.
Goguryeo's ship-making technology is far less developed than the Tang Dynasty, and it is not obvious in the distance, the advantages and disadvantages of this proximity are fully revealed, the smallest ships of the Ningzhou Navy are more than a circle larger than the main battle ships of Goguryeo, not to mention the building ship and the large new Haigu ship that Di Feng is riding, and the small boat in Goguryeo is set off off the downstairs ship and the new sea falcon is like a giant; Deck protection is incomparable to those shoddy "fishing boats" in Goguryeo, although Goguryeo also learned from the Tang Dynasty to build a few building ships, but they were all withdrawn from the battlefield by Gaosheji to attack Wuhu Island.
Jiang Zhongshi stood on the ship tower and watched every change in the details of the battlefield, Goguryeo as he expected, don't look at the Goguryeo ships, but this Goguryeo is the same as the Wa State of the year, the ships can be poorly equipped, not even equipped with fire oil, let alone cannons and gallows, although each small boat in Goguryeo is equipped with throwers, torches and other arsons, but these throwers have become a live target for the crossbowmen of the Ningzhou Navy under the focus of Jiang Zhongshi. Occasionally, torches were thrown onto the deck, and were quickly extinguished by sailors, posing no threat at all.
The crossbowmen of the Ningzhou Navy were condescending, taking advantage of the terrain, and the archers on the Goguryeo boats under the dense rain of arrows could not raise their heads, and the Goguryeo boats that tried to forcibly approach the Lou ship to prepare for boarding were also knocked over and capsized one by one by the ships and fighting ships interspersed back and forth, and the ships and fighting ships were covered with cowhide as armor, and they would easily use the fire cabinet to set a fire close to the area where the enemy ships were concentrated.
Jiang Zhongshi saw that the enemy's formation was in chaos, and it was no longer possible to give full play to the advantage of squeezing each other, so he nodded with satisfaction and said to Di Feng: "General, the Goguryeo naval army has been in chaos, so many ships are crowded together, but it relieves the pressure on us, we only need to use gun carriages and winches to destroy the enemy ships in the distance, and this great victory is within reach." ”
Di Feng didn't say anything when he heard this, because at this time, his attention was all attracted by a Goguryeo ship in the distance. (To be continued.) )
