Chapter 496: Battle at Sea
The Great Song Dynasty sent troops, which completely complicated the originally simple things. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zhao Shuo began to think about the strength of his side, the Kereh Department was dominated by cavalry, and there was no naval army with Ben. Jin Guo should have some water army, but the strength will not be too strong. Next is the Li Dynasty, and the Li Dynasty must have a naval army, but he doesn't know what it looks like. There is also Siam, and the Siamese naval army will definitely have it, but the strength of Zhao Shuo is also unclear.
In addition, there is Dali, Dali took Bagan, and there is already an outlet to the sea, but Zhao Shuo is also unclear about what the navy will look like.
As for Zhao Shuo's Tiemeng Xixia, Zhao Shuo could only sigh, because Xixia and the sea were not related.
The Great Song Dynasty naval army is heading north, and if there is a fleet swaying in the south, it should be able to scare the Great Song Dynasty, so that the fleet going north will inevitably have reinforcements.
Zhao Shuo scratched his chin. What he is worried about now is who will come out to scare Da Song's fleet.
Although this fleet does not need to be too powerful, it must be terrifying when taken out. Otherwise, it will come out in vain.
Can the Li Dynasty and the Siamese naval army scare the Great Song Dynasty?
This put a big question mark in Zhao Shuo's heart.
When Zhao Shuo was entangled, Zhao Cheng had already fallen into a bitter battle.
When Zhao Cheng came out, he came out in the form of a pirate, and his original intention was the same as Zhao Shuo's thoughts, that is, to sneak attack and run away after the fight.
However, the ending was really unexpected for him.
He led his fleet out to sea, always looking for the Mongol navy, and as a result, he walked around and reached the Sea of Japan. Here he saw the Mongol ships, and, not many, in number.
Zhao Cheng felt that the opportunity had come, so he launched an attack without saying a word. The result, of course, was the annihilation of the enemy's fleet.
With his achievements, Zhao Cheng continued to go deeper, and the deeper he went, the more frequent the Mongolian fleet appeared, but every time, he was simply disabled by Zhao Cheng.
The bigger and more confident, the less Zhao Cheng took the Mongolian navy seriously, and advanced all the way.
The Mongol fleet was constantly being smashed and sunk. The battle was almost one-sided. Seeing this situation, not only Zhao Cheng, but also the whole ship were excited, and they didn't take the Mongolian navy seriously.
At this time, they found some more Mongolian ships. For these unlucky ghosts, Zhao Cheng and his soldiers naturally will not let go.
But this time they miscalculated, and the Mongol soldiers in these small boats turned around and ran away before they could make a move.
Zhao Chengdajun, who was already excited, laughed and played like a cat chasing a mouse.
These small boats were very strong in escaping, so that Zhao Cheng's army wasted a lot of strength to wipe them all out.
But after destroying these boats, Zhao Cheng suddenly found that he had come to a piece of water that he was completely unfamiliar with. Not only that, but there were more than a dozen big ships all around, and depending on the situation, there must be more than a dozen.
With such a large fleet on the opposite side, Zhao Cheng did not dare to attack rashly. So, he prepared to take a detour to leave this sea area and return to the familiar East China Sea.
But not far had passed, and once again a flotilla of a dozen large ships appeared ahead. Zhao Cheng frowned and changed his course again.
As a result, after going around and around in a big circle, Zhao Cheng was speechless and found that there were fifty or sixty big ships around it, and they were wrapped in the middle.
Zhao Cheng was very depressed, because this was not a routine of naval warfare. How can there be a naval battle to dispatch dozens of large ships to finish making dumplings for the enemy.
Zhao Cheng was helpless, and there was no way, after thinking twice, he decided to focus on assaulting one side and breaking through the blockade.
So, the army rushed in the direction of the East China Sea. But before they could get to the big boats, dozens of small boats rushed over.
The small boat was carrying Mongol soldiers, who rushed over with their sabers brandishing and shouting.
"I'm going, I'm really thinking of myself as a pirate." Zhao Cheng was depressed. Hurriedly ordered the soldiers to stop rushing forward and attack the boats with muskets and small shells.
Obviously, the Mongols were planning to rush over and fight with Zhao Cheng in close quarters, how could Zhao Cheng allow such a situation.
The Mongols were strong in individual combat, and Zhao Cheng did not dare to take risks.
Long-distance musket greeting, close, directly greet small cannonballs, as long as the big ship does not approach, Zhao Cheng is not allowed to set artillery. After all, the newly developed artillery is his last killer weapon, and he will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Compared with Zhao Cheng's army, although the Mongolian soldiers held sabers and shouted constantly, they actually carried small cannonballs on their bodies.
It's just that the Mongols didn't expect Zhao Cheng to bring so many muskets. Before they could reach the small shells, many of the Mongols had already been shot and fell off the boat.
Fortunately, the Mongolian soldiers were outnumbered, and relying on this wave after wave of the spirit of not being afraid of death, in the end, some soldiers rushed to the periphery of Zhao Cheng's fleet, and came within the attack range of small shells.
Here, it was the most tragic fierce battle, the muskets of Zhao Cheng's army were fired and thrown together with small cannonballs, and the small cannonballs of the Mongolian army were also thrown.
Ships were constantly being damaged, and soldiers on both sides were overboard.
Zhao Cheng's soldiers on this side were much less than the Mongolian army, in order to maintain combat strength, as long as they did not die in battle, those who fell into the water, Zhao Cheng would all salvage them and continue to fight.
As a result, Zhao Cheng, who was not superior in numbers, fell into an even more difficult situation.
After all, if someone salvags, it reduces the number of people attacking the Mongol soldiers close to them.
Another point is that because of the need to salvage the soldiers who fell into the water, Zhao Cheng's fleet had to stop in place, which also increased the difficulty of breaking through.
There are big Mongolian ships on all sides, and I don't know how many small boats the Mongols have looted, after the small boats in front were sunk, the ones behind continued to attack, one after the other, and there was no end.
"Mongolia has been prepared for this." At this moment, Zhao Cheng had already sensed that something was wrong.
can transfer and command so many ships at one time, even Zhao Shuo may not be able to do it.
It is even more said that such a shameless wolf pack tactic.
Dozens of large ships were guarding the borders, and countless small ships were constantly attacking and harassing regardless of losses, and such a shameless and cruel means of fighting could never have been done without a period of preparation.
It seems that this Mongolia is waiting for us. I didn't expect to be fooled.
Zhao Cheng gritted his teeth and slammed his clenched fist on the boat gang. "Damn."
Now Zhao Cheng has no choice, all he can do is to persevere, and then wait for rescue. He believed that Zhao Shuo would never let them go.
The only consolation for him now is that this time not only is there enough guns and ammunition in stock, but also plenty of food.
If nothing else, it's okay to stick to it for a month.
"Lord Wang, this time, I have to rely on you." Zhao Cheng muttered, and then ordered. "Fight, hit me hard, it won't be long before our reinforcements arrive, and victory will definitely be ours."
