Chapter 282: The Battle of Yingkou

The sound of the rattling sea made Tao Ying fall into a memory, but this memory was broken by the shout of a small soldier.

"Report! The enemy sailors are coming to attack Yingkou! ”

After the soldier finished speaking, Tao Ying hurriedly got on his horse and rushed towards the ferry in Yingkou, and when he arrived at the ferry, he stood on a hillside far away, and looked at it, and sure enough, on the vast sea, a fleet appeared where the sun rose.

At the head was a huge wooden battleship with a white cloth mast more than ten meters high. The size of this giant warship was almost the size of the Qingdao, and the huge white warship was followed by five smaller warships, which had four layers, nearly 30 meters long, and 10 meters wide. They were followed by nearly a few hundred small warships lined up towards the port.

It is no wonder that it is recorded in history that after Gongsun Du took office as the Taishou of Liaodong, he recruited troops and horses, opened up the territory, and then seized Liaodong and regarded himself as the king of Liaodong. He fought north against Goguryeo every day, occupied the Liaodong Peninsula, and crossed the sea to occupy some places in Qingzhou. Feelings, he didn't occupy some islands in Qingzhou, because he came to fight him in advance, and his warship hasn't gone south yet!

Tao Yingzhen didn't expect that he actually had so many warships, the Northern Doma War, this Gongsun Du seems to have been prepared for a long time, it seems that attacking Gongsun Du will be a vicious battle!

The horn sounded at the ferry, and in order to remind his military horse, Tao Ying also let people fire a cannon. The sound of artillery shook the sky, and it could be heard for more than ten miles. The soldiers went to report to Marshal Zang Ba, and Zang Ba was busy concentrating on soldiers and horses to guard the ferry. There are also nearly 30 huge cargo ships in the harbor next to the ferry, where there are piles of grain and coal that are still in the future!

If this group of warships breaks through the harbor and burns grain, grass and coal, he will not be able to go back to Xuzhou if he wants to!

So Zang Ba hurriedly asked Han Dang, the commander of the navy, to drive the ship to meet the battle, so after a whistle sounded, when the opposite Gongsun Du battleship was still sailing on the sea level, Qingdao, Xiapi, and Juye had already taken the lead in sailing towards the sea. The three battleships were followed by nine frigates, which were all the sailors of Tao Ying in this northern expedition.

The navy faced the Gongsun Du navy at sea, and Zang Ba asked the soldiers to hurry up and move the things close to the ferry transport ship to the shore. Thousands of soldiers joined the team to carry grain and grass, and Zang Ba asked the soldiers to set up fortifications on the shore and place three generations of Taoling cannons on both sides of the mountain-shaped ferry. If the enemy breaks through the water defense line, these artillery pieces can resist for a while, and then carry dozens of ships of grain and grass ashore.

Standing on the hillside, I saw hundreds of warships meeting Tao Ying's Xiapi in the distance. The Xiapi hummed the hull of the ship, and then when the enemy entered the firing range, the Xiapi took the lead in attacking, and the four cannons next to the hull were fired in unison, hitting three enemy ships in an instant. After the enemy ship was hit, a fire broke out, and the soldiers tried to put out the fire, but the fire was saved with the help of the wind. As a last resort, the soldiers hurriedly jumped into the sea, and the icy sea water was so cold that after a while, hundreds of corpses floated on the sea.

Seeing that the Xuzhou battleship could put such a powerful thing, Gongsun Du's water army was also dumbfounded for a while. After they assembled the water army, they rarely encountered opponents, but they didn't expect to encounter a monster like Xuzhou!

However, after all, it was a navy that was accustomed to sailing on the sea, and after Gongsun Du's navy lost three warships, he hurriedly waved the flag and scattered the warships. In this way, several more cannons were fired, and only one shell penetrated one medium warship, while the other ships were getting closer and closer to Xiapi. In order to avoid entering the range of the opponent's bow and arrows, the Xiapi was busy with the protection of the frigate and retreated to the rear.

Seeing that the Xiapi had retreated, and Gongsun Du's navy came to attack again, Han Dang hurriedly waved his flag and let all the warships cross the water to meet the enemy. For a time, nine warships blocked the front of the Yingkou ferry.

Gongsun Du's naval army also puffed up its sails and sailed to this side, and after reaching the range of the cannons, Han Dang waved his hand, and all the cannons fired, and dozens of cannonballs flew towards the opposite side at a time. So after explaining the twelve search warships, the Gongsun Du warship led by him hurriedly waved the flag and fled towards the sea.

After Gongsun Du's naval army retreated, Tao Ying looked at the billowing wolf smoke burning on the sea, and couldn't help but admire: "If the enemy's naval army is like Gongsun Du in the future, how good it will be!" Arrange them neatly, and then go hand in hand, so that you can just put shells at will, and it is difficult to miss them! If they were scattered to attack, with so many warships, it would be really difficult to guarantee that their warships would not be wiped out! ”

The enemy began to retreat after being stunned, Han Dang saw the opponent's command ship, and when all the warships retreated, this huge command ship hid in the middle, trying to escape, but was blocked by the warship in front. So Han Dang waved the flag and prepared to turn passive into active attack!

Of the three giant warships, the Qingdao took the lead, followed by the Xiapi and Juye, and the rest of the frigates all formed a pyramid shape and pushed forward, all the way towards the local warship group.

Although the loss of fifteen-year-old warships, but there are nearly a hundred warships on the opposite side, the strength still exists, when all the warships chased out, the sea did not know when the fog rose, in order to defeat the Gongsun Du water army in one fell swoop, Han Dang chased into the fog.

Tao Ying stood on the hillside and kept looking ahead, and when the fog cleared, a warship suddenly appeared less than two hundred meters away from him, and the warship was guided by a warship the size of Pengcheng to kill him, and he was followed by at least nearly fifty warships!

Seeing that the enemy ship had returned again, Tao Ying hurriedly sounded the horn and prepared to meet the enemy. The soldiers carried only two ships of grain on the ferry, and at least twenty ships of grain and five ships of coal were stored at sea. If these are burned by the enemy, these battleships that rely on steam engines will not even be able to move in the future! Zang Ba asked people to hurry to transport food, and on the other hand, he asked people to board the transport trucks, and then fixed the cannons on the cargo ship, and the steam engine pulled the cart to the sea to temporarily stop the local warship.

The artillery battalions of the multi-trap camp that will use artillery on the shore, the artillery battalion is responsible for the main attack mission, they are not used to water warfare, and the cannon bar is bulky, that is, the cannon is fixed, and the warships have also rushed to their own ports, and when the rockets are fired, their own grain and grass will not escape the doom.

Tao Ying was a little anxious on the shore. I thought that the other side was afraid of myself, but I didn't expect that the other party was familiar with the weather and came up with a strategy. These are good, Han Dang really fell into the plan, so that people will burn grain and grass and leave, what should I do?
