Wuhu Sea is a sea area located outside the Bohai Bay, east of the Liaodong Peninsula. To the south, you can reach Dengju and Laiju in the Silk Country, to the west is Beisha City, an important port on the Liaodong Peninsula, and to the east you can reach Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo.

At this moment, there is a huge fleet driving on this sea area, which is the sailor sent by the Silk Country from Qingzhou to reinforce Chang Miao, the capital of Liaodong.

The fleet consisted of thirty-five foreign warships, forty loach ships, and one hundred and fifty small warships of various types. In addition, there are 200 grain ships and more than 300 small clippers of various auxiliary kinds. Excluding the necessary sailors, the battleship alone could carry up to 41,500 soldiers. The ships of the Silk Country are second to none in terms of tonnage, smoothness of navigation, and solidity, and such a large ship is comparable in speed to other small ships, so if this fleet were called an invincible armada, I am afraid that no country's fleet would dare to jump out and say nothing. The only fleet in the world that can compete with it is in the Silk Country, and that is the South China Sea Naval Division in Quanzhou.

The reason why the Silk Country wanted to establish this huge north and south fleets was to prevent pirates from invading maritime trade. Since the Qingzhou Naval Division was in charge of trade with Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, while the Quanzhou Naval Division had to ensure trade with the South Seas countries, the Nanhai Naval Division was larger in scale.

At this moment, the commander sitting on the flagship is Zheng Menglong, the commander of the Qingzhou Naval Division. This year, the general is in the prime of his life, with bronzed skin, pale green eyes, and a slightly brownish beard that shows that he is not a purebred national of the Silk Country. His mother was from the distant land of Sindra, and his father was a true sailor from the Silk Country. It is said that when her mother was pregnant with him, she dreamed that a white dragon flew into her belly. Hence the name given to him. And Zheng Menglong is also true to his name, he has shown his love for the ocean since he was a child. Some people who don't like him talk behind his back. If this man hadn't happened to encounter a sailor recruit at the age of eighteen, he would have become a headache for a pirate leader. This is enough to show that he has a talent for water warfare. As long as he is on the ship, he is like an eagle with wings spread, and as long as he is there, the pirates will not have time to retreat, lest he be caught, it will be a dead end. With his twenty-two years of military experience, he was able to rise from a sailor to the supreme commander of one of the two major naval divisions of a large country, and it was not a strong backstage, but all of his achievements in crusading against pirates.

Therefore, there is no doubt about the combat ability of Zheng Menglong and his sailors, but that is only at sea. This time, when he was supplying supplies to Beisha City, he received an order from the capital protector Chang Miao, asking him to take this fleet to eliminate the resistance of the Goryeo naval division, go all the way to Uiju Castle at the mouth of the Yalu River, land on the water to conquer the city, and then go up the Yalu River to cut off the supply line of the domestic city, and at the same time transport the army of the Silk Country across the Yalu River.

Zheng Menglong's only concern about such an order was that although his soldiers were all good men at sea, siege warfare was not what he was good at. Therefore, he also made full preparations, and equipped all the warships and loach ships with long-range catapults, and in addition to sailors, they also carried a large number of ballistae, with these siege weapons. A small town of Uiju should be no problem. Zheng Menglong knew Chang Miao's intentions very well in his heart, he could have captured Yizhou City without his sailors, but Chang Miao gave such an order, the purpose of which must have been to let his sailors accumulate experience in attacking the city. The next step is probably to go south and land on Goryeo territory by sea, and cooperate with the land forces to flank Pyongyang City. With the experience and confidence of this siege, the sailors will be more comfortable when attacking Pyongyang City.

"Newspaper. The sea ahead has spotted the traces of the Goryeo sailors! ”

The herald's words interrupted Zheng Menglong's train of thought. Zheng Menglong came back to his senses and asked, "How many ships does the other party have, and what type of ship is it?" What is the formation of the platoon? ”

"Returning to the commander of the envoy, the other side has six flat-bottomed warships. Twenty-five medium-sized warships were lined up in a crane wing formation. ”

Zheng Menglong smiled coldly. The flat-bottomed warship was the largest tonnage ship in Goryeo, but it was one-third smaller than the loach ship, not to mention the outer ship warship, and the medium-sized warship was not even comparable to its own small warship. With this amount of troops, forming a crane wing formation is simply self-defeating. He sighed and said, "Let Commander Zhao lead the vanguard fleet to fight and break through from the front!" In addition, ten clippers were sent to search the nearby waters to prevent the enemy from ambushing, and the rest of the ships followed up, and ordered the commander to take another forty small warships to outflank the enemy in a fan shape, and not let go of a single one! ”

The herald took the order and left. Zheng Menglong rubbed his forehead, stood up and walked onto the command platform on the ship - although his own arrangement had eliminated any means of the Goryeo army, as a commander, he still had to stand on the command seat and look at the overall situation, in case something unexpected happened.

The battle situation was just as he expected, the vanguard fleet led by Zhao used three foreign ships to break through the center of the Goryeo army's crane wing array, and the five loach ships that followed quickly spread to both sides, and the small warships behind went straight to the two wings of the Goryeo army, taking advantage of the time difference to attack the Goryeo army at the same time. The Goryeo navy was cut off from the waist and attacked from three sides at the same time, both in terms of tonnage, the solidity and number of the ships were all at a disadvantage, and soon began to be unable to support, and one flat warship was directly knocked out of a big hole by the foreign warship, and soon began to sink, and nearly half of the remaining ships were on fire and fell into a situation of immobility. The rest of the ships knew that there was no hope of victory and began to look for a way to escape, but what awaited them was an encirclement of small warships led by the commander! Before you know it, the Goryeo Naval Division has fallen into a heavy encirclement, and the large army of the Qingzhou Naval Division is slowly approaching with a thunderous momentum!

"My lord, the clipper reported that no other Goryeo sailors were found in the nearby waters. Our army has already won! The adjutant general spoke on the side.

"Of course. Okay, the winner has been decided, and the rest is up to you. The old rule, those who surrender are taken together with the ships, all the resistance is killed, and the ships are scuttled together! After Zheng Menglong finished speaking, he strode down the command platform.

Everyone around them stared at the commander with bated breath. If there was one drawback to this lord, it was that after each victory, he wiped out the recalcitrant ones along with the ships. That's why some would say he was a natural pirate leader. (To be continued......)
