Chapter 153: Battle of Diaoyu Island (Part II)

Fang Le walked over and asked softly, "Master Li, isn't our Fang family bad?" ”

Looking at this bright-eyed girl, Li Xingze saw that her expression seemed to be a little depressed, and comforted: "The people of the Fang family are very bold, but the Red Turban Army is in danger right now, and when this happens, I have to leave and go back quickly!" ”

......

The Huangzhou Red Turban Army captured Wuchang Mansion, and then suddenly there was no action, which had already sharpened the knife Several officials in Huohuo almost vomited blood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Bang"

Igulun was so angry that he slapped the table and said angrily: "Then what does Li Xingze mean, we have been waiting for them for almost half a month, and there is no movement at all!" ”

Zilkton echoed, "Yes, didn't the Red Turban Thieves say they want to fight us here?" ”

The soldiers have already assembled, just waiting for the Red Turban Army to come and find trouble, and it is not a problem for so many people to be wasted.

Compared to the impatience of the two, Buha has been sitting there as steady as Mount Tai, sneering: "Why do we have to wait to be beaten? ”

Igu Lunshi and Zilkdun glanced at each other, yes, why, we are the orthodox of the imperial court, they are just a bunch of anti-thieves.

Igu Lunshi stood up and shouted, "Let's go fight Hanyang!" ”

......

After arriving at Lianjiang Port, seeing rows of neat warships, fluttering with the waves, Polo Timur nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How many warships are here?" ”

"My lord, there are all two-masted warships here, and there are forty of them!" The person next to him hurriedly reported it.

Polo Timur never went to sea, and the most common in rivers except for the brig was Monchong, and it was thought that the same was true in naval battles.

The speed of the brigs is fast, and it shouldn't be a problem to chase the thieves. Thinking of this, Polo Timur said happily: "Where is the arsenal, I was going to pick up firearms!" ”

"Report to the general, the arsenal is in Ogilu Town!"

When Polo Timur heard this, his eyes widened and he shouted, "Are you pigs?" How can an arsenal be placed on a peninsula! ”

The steward's face was full of grievances and said: "The general doesn't know, since there was no war a few decades ago, the arsenal has always been there, in order to facilitate extraction!" ”

Before Polo Timur could continue to attack, a soldier suddenly rushed to him and shouted: "General, the thieves have captured the town of Dilu!" ”

......

In order to conceal this raid, Fang Guozhen guided the fleet not to go directly south from the waters of the Sibei Islands, but to detour from the east to the island, and sail from east to west to Ogilu Town.

A small Ogilu town was garrisoned with five hundred guards, and the warship still had some firearms, Fang Guozhen was not afraid of these soldiers at all, and when he saw the Ogilu town that was already lit up in the twilight, he planned to attack it directly.

Li Xingze immediately stopped and proposed: "Leader Fang, we don't need to use a fire gun, we can take it directly with a fire bullet bottle!" ”

"Oh?"

Fang Guozhen said strangely: "This thing can also be used on land?" ”

Li Xingze couldn't help laughing, and then taught these sailors, and by the time they were ready, it was already dark.

The Yuan soldiers had already discovered the warship of the naval division, and thought that they were coming to the arsenal, and they were not prepared, only a few people got up lazily and went to the dock to prepare to respond.

One by one, the warships docked, and the Yuan soldiers held torches and shouted impatiently, "Where did you come from?" ”

Zhang Junbao poked his head out of the string of the boat and said with a smile: "Your ancestor is here!" ”

After that, under the stunned expression of the Yuan soldiers, they did a somersault, one move swallow three water, the sword light swept by, and several Yuan soldiers didn't have time to make a sound, their bodies fell down weakly, and the torches fell to the ground.

The Yuan soldiers in the distance seemed to see something unusual happening here, and hurriedly stood up and ran towards this side.

The sailors on the warship lit the fire bomb bottles one after another, and threw them at the Yuan soldiers.

The fire bomb bottle can hear a sound, see a fire, and the lethality is really limited, this is Li Xingze's first impression of this ancient version of the grenade, this thing is still somewhat useful in the battle on the ship, and on land, it is stronger than the second kick.

So many fire bomb bottles were thrown out, and the nearby Yuan soldiers were blown up and peeled off, and they looked very seriously injured, but in fact, they were not killed, at most one or two were stunned.

The standing garrison was accustomed to living a comfortable life, and when they saw this group of fierce men who didn't know where they came from, they threw fire bomb bottles directly at them, and they didn't even think about it, they just threw down their weapons and turned around and ran.

Fang Guozhen trembled angrily: "I knew they were such a dish, I should have come over early in the morning to fight!" ”

Nima, you are still not happy when people run away, Li Xingze rolled his eyes and urged: "Leader Fang, don't hesitate, move quickly!" ”

"Hmm"

Fang Guozhen reacted, now is not the time to complain, and hurriedly beckoned: "Brothers, go and move things!" ”

Lianjiang Port is not far from here, and it will arrive in less than half an hour, and the people of the Fang family, knowing that time is limited, dare not be sloppy, and after opening the arsenal, they began to move quickly.

"Report! The warship on the other side of the Lianjiang River is coming! ”

While everyone was in full swing of work, the sailors who were inquiring for news in the distance came in small boats and shouted to the people.

Although Lianjiang Port was full of brigs, there were forty of them, and Fang Guobao hurriedly asked, "What should I do?" ”

Ships are only capable when they are maneuverable.

Li Xingze looked at the arsenal that had only moved a small part, and felt full of regret, but in desperation, he had to grit his teeth and say, "It's blown up!" ”

"Boom"

With a loud bang, the armament depot placed by Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in Dilu Town came to naught, and the flames splashed everywhere, illuminating the Fang family's fleet that was anchoring on the coast.

At the same time, the Fang family's fleet also saw that not far away, the two-masted warships of Lianjiang had arrived rapidly.

Under the starry night sky, a bright moon was like a guiding light, illuminating the two fleets that were sailing rapidly in the waters of Dongyi Island.

"Is it a big deal?" Li Xingze looked at the warships dispatched from Lianjiang Port that followed closely, there were still quite a few, about dozens, and asked nervously.

Fang Guozhen pouted and said: "The warships docked at Lianjiang Port belong to inland warships, and if there is a big storm at sea, it will not work!" ”

These two madmen, in the East China Sea, didn't even want to get rid of the Yuan army, and even thought about fighting with each other, everyone was speechless, the other party had forty warships, and they only had ten, and the difference in number was too big.

Now that both sides are in the near sea, I am afraid that the Yuan army will come to help when they are fighting here, and it will be troublesome at that time.

Thinking of this, Fang Guozhen's eyes narrowed, and he sneered: "Sail to the east, Diaoyu Island will fight with them!" ”

Fang Guan immediately said urgently: "Dad, what if you alarm the Penghu Sailor?" ”

Fang Guozhen shook his head and said: "Penghu sailors rarely go to Diaoyu Island to inspect, it shouldn't be a big problem!" ”

Since the head of the house has spoken, everyone has no choice but to do so.

At night, the offshore winds and waves are stronger, and it is not until dawn that the winds and waves are a little lighter.

Polo Timur, who was almost wet from the waves on the deck, took a breath, his whole body was soaked, and the warship was so jolted that he almost thought he was going to die in the belly of a fish.

The two sides have never distanced themselves, and they have been chasing like this, when is it a head. Polo Timur angrily grabbed a soldier and shouted, "Why are you dissatisfied with the sails? ”

"My lord, our ship doesn't dare to be full of sails, the sea breeze is together, and the ship can't hold it at all!" The soldiers are about to cry in fright, just play in the near sea, your old man ordered to chase all the time, this is all to the far sea, a little careless, the boat capsizes, everyone has to be eaten by fish.

Polo Timur thought that the wind and waves were too strong, so there was no full sail, and he was naΓ―ve enough to think that full sail would catch up, who would have thought that this two-masted warship was so unbearable at sea, and immediately kicked the mast a few times in anger.

Now I've chased here, and if I don't want to chase it, I have to chase it.

This naval battle is different from land warfare, seeing that the two sides will inevitably fight to the death, it is impossible to flee from the wind, and above the vast sea, there is only life and death, and there is no temporary shelter from the wind.

At this moment, it has bypassed Pengjiayu in the south and is not far from Diaoyu Island. Fang Guozhen ignited his ambition and shouted: "Left full rudder, ready to fight!" ”

Several ships exchanged flags and began to make a U-turn around the big bend, and all lowered their mainsails.

When Polo Timur saw this moment, he said in his heart that he was finally about to start, and immediately sneered: "Prepare for battle!" ”

At this time, the two sides were already less than five miles apart, and they were all in position, and the two wings of the Yuan Dynasty warship began to advance first, while the middle road lagged behind.

Suddenly, Fang Guozhen suddenly turned around and asked, "There are no firearms on the brig warship, right?" ”

......

"What?"

When he learned that there was not a single igniter on the brig, Polo Timur saw that there was nothing on the entire deck except for bows and arrows scattered all over the ground, and there was not even a single thing that looked like a firearm.

At this time, Polo Timur really wanted to die, and he didn't bring the necessities of naval warfare with him, so he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Notify all ships and prepare for the battle!" ”

Zhang Junbao, who had excellent eyesight, stared closely at the brig that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly said loudly: "There is no firecracker!" ”

Made, I didn't expect that.

Fang Guozhen shouted angrily: "Inform all ships, sail, direction northwest!" ”

In this way, it is only necessary to distance themselves from the brigs and slowly grind them to fight.

The change in the course of Fang Guozhen's fleet did not escape the eyes of Polo Timur, even if they wondered, what they wanted to do.

The first thing the fleet came into contact with was the left flank of Polo Timur, and seeing that it was almost two hundred zhang, Fang Guozhen roared angrily: "Open fire!" ”

'Knock knock'

The guns of each ship rang out, and the projectile with the mouth of the bowl flew towards the left wing of the Yuan ship.

For a time, the various warships that were knocked down by the iron ball were in a mess, and the sea on each side of the ship's string splashed water columns from time to time, and the damage was not serious.

As soon as the direction changed, it was not easy for the firecracker, and Fang Guozhen, who had made up his mind, hurriedly ordered to sail to the northwest and bypass the left flank of the Yuan boat.

This move obviously did not want to connect with the brigs of the Yuan court.

Polo Timur immediately shouted: "All the left rudder, hurry up!" ”

The Yuan Dynasty warships turned around one after another and came in the direction of the Fang family's fleet.

Fang Guozhen sneered, this general was obviously a rookie in naval warfare, and shouted at the moment: "Left full rudder, sail to the southwest!" (To be continued.) )
