Chapter 154: Battle of Diaoyu Island (Part II)
Polo Timur thought that Fang Guozhen was going to run, the left side was full of rudders, and they were also full of left rudders, where would they have thought that the middle and right wings were turned in place. The flotilla on the left flank followed closely www.biquge.info Fang family's flotilla, and actually headed towards the middle flotilla.
The Yuan court's Lianjiang Shui Division fell into chaos.
At this time, the Fang family's fleet had already copied to the back of the middle of the sailor's road, and the firecrackers were aiming at the fleet in the rear. Fang Guozhen gave an order, and the fire bolt spewed out the projectiles one by one.
The Lianjiang fleet in the middle was instantly beaten and embarrassed, the water column near the hull rose again and again, and the Yuan soldiers were busy turning the rudder, and they couldn't even take care of dodging, and the longer they delayed, the faster they died.
Two rounds of projectiles came down, and almost a dozen or so brigs were beaten into a mess, Fang Guozhen saw that the sailors on the right wing followed just now, and immediately shouted: "Turn the rudder, the direction is southeast!" ”
Now Li Xingze also understood that Fang Guozhen was relying on the advantage of long-distance and constantly seeking fighters around the sailors of the Yuan Court.
The distance between the two fleets was always about 100 zhang, and Fang Guozhen handled it very accurately, which happened to be the effective attack range of the firecracker.
After Polo Timur reacted, he knew that if he continued like this, he would not be able to leave the battlefield, so he said angrily: "Inform all ships, go southwest!" ”
The flag bearer did not dare to hesitate and quickly issued the command from the boat. In an instant, all the Lianjiang Sailors turned their sails and headed towards the Fang family's fleet.
"Hiss"
Fang Guozhen found out that the change of the sailor was in trouble at the moment, and the other party all came in his direction, and after Peng Jiayu was the Ryukyus, and if he was close to the sea, the advantage of the double mast would come out.
Looking at Fang Guozhen, who was not good-looking, Li Xingze also noticed that something was wrong with the situation, and hurriedly asked, "Leader Fang, is there something wrong?" ”
"Hmm"
Fang Guozhen frowned, stared closely at the Lianjiang Water Master who was rapidly approaching him, and hesitated: "I don't know if the other party will give way?" ”
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he immediately hurriedly shouted: "Turn the rudder, the direction is southwest!" ”
According to Fang Guozhen's instructions, the Fang family's fleet drove ahead, moved the firecracker to the ship's tower, and constantly bombarded the ships in front of the Lianjiang Naval Division that were following.
The hit rate during the voyage was very low, and the firearm projectiles shot by the Fang family only rarely landed on the deck of the sailors, and most of them landed on the sides of the fast-moving ships, and water columns rose around the sailors' warships from time to time.
At this time, they were already very close to Peng Jiayu, and if they didn't kill the Lianjiang Water Division as soon as possible, they would be given a chance to breathe.
Thinking of this, Fang Guozhen suddenly asked, "Master Li, what should you do if you are being chased by the enemy and the other party's station is in front of you?" ”
Li Xingze looked at the Lianjiang Shui Division, who was chasing after him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It should break up the team so that they can't find the target!" ”
The advantage is that the pursuing opponent does not know who the target is, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to be divided and annihilated.
Fang Guozhen nodded and ordered: "Inform Guoying and Guomin, divide the troops!" ”
After receiving the message from the ship, Fang Guoying immediately led the three warships to the left full rudder, while Fang Guomin was the right full rudder.
This move allowed the two fleets to attack the left and right flanks of the Lianjiang Naval Division.
Polo Timur is not easy, sneered: "Inform the left and right wings, wait for the opportunity to pick up the string!" ”
Even the left and right flanks of the Jiang Shui Division immediately departed from course, made a detour respectively, and rushed head-on towards the two fleets.
The middle lane sailor bit Fang Guozhen tightly, and he didn't hesitate for a moment.
The initiative on the battlefield has always been in Fang Guozhen's hands.
Seeing that the Lianjiang Sailor was indeed as he expected, Fang Guozhen laughed and said: "Zuo Manrudder, sail to the northeast, go to the north of Guoying!" ”
Both sides are divided into three seas, each fighting its own.
......
Fang Guoying in the northeast was the first to touch the enemy, and the fire gun immediately 'dong dong' rang non-stop, but the opponent had many ships, and the damage caused was not great, and the two rounds of projectiles came down, but the two brigs of the Lianjiang Water Division lost their combat effectiveness.
Seeing that Fang Guozhen's fleet had already approached, and there were only eight of the Lianjiang Naval Division, Fang Guoying's eyes flashed, and he shouted: "Turn the rudder and sail due north!" ”
He actually took the initiative to break away from the battle and headed towards Fang Guomin in the north.
I didn't expect the Fang family's fleet to be so able to run, and even the river division had left the rudder, but Fang Guoying's fleet had already opened up with them for nearly half a mile.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Guoying lowered half a sail, as if waiting for the Lianjiang water division.
Fang Guozhen, who came straight from the southwest, did not hesitate at all, and shouted repeatedly: "Prepare to fill in!" ”
The Lianjiang Sailor who was approaching Fang Guoying realized that something was wrong, and Fang Guozhen's four warships rushed over from their left chord.
At this moment, Lian Jiangshui was dumbfounded, where are the eight two-masted opponents of the seven four-masted, the key is that people still have firearms.
At the moment, he did not dare to hesitate, turned his sail and walked in the direction of Diaoyu Island.
This is tantamount to a disguised departure from the battlefield, and Polo Timur's mid-route fleet is still following behind, although he sees this change, he is helpless, too far away, even if he gives an order, he can't see it.
Fang Guozhen was overjoyed and said: "Order, sail due north, and encircle and annihilate the sailors on Guomin's side!" ”
The two fleets converged, full sails against the wind, and headed towards Fang Guomin's direction with great momentum.
"Damn it!"
Polo Timur scolded angrily.
Polo Timur saw this series of changes just now, and he couldn't imagine that the left flank would leave the battlefield first, so that the Fang family's fleet would be reunited, and when he caught up, the right flank would definitely be disabled.
At this moment, it was too late, and Polo Timur sighed helplessly: "Left full rudder, sail due west, return to Dilu!" ”
When the Lianjiang division realized that something was wrong, it was too late, and there were no other reinforcements except for their ten warships. Cruising alone on the sea, the Fang family's fleet had already surrounded them, and the projectiles flying from all directions covered them.
'Knock knock'
For a moment, the sound of being smashed by projectiles sounded on the decks everywhere, and the strings of the ship were muffled by rising water columns everywhere.
Seeing that half of the ten warships had suffered heavy casualties, Fang Guozhen immediately ordered: "Inform all ships and prepare for a battle!" ”
When the Fang family's fleet was about thirty zhang away, they threw the fire bomb bottles on it in a mess, and the Yuan soldiers cried and called their mothers to run around on the deck, adding some casualties. Before the sailors of the Fang family could throw the hook rope, the Yuan soldiers raised the weapons in their hands and chose to surrender.
Of the ten ships of the Lianjiang Water Division, six were damaged on the spot and could not sail, and the remaining four, although some were dilapidated, were able to sail and were captured by the Fang family.
......
"Master Li, it's really hard to say without you in this battle!" The Yuan army withdrew on its own, and the people who returned to Qingyuan began to celebrate again, although Li Xingze repeatedly excused himself from doing anything, but Fang Guozhen stopped and praised.
Li Xingze smiled helplessly, no matter how modest he was, it would be hypocritical, and he said at the moment: "I don't know what the next step for Leader Fang?" ”
Unexpectedly, this time he retreated from the enemy and fished a lot of boats, for Fang Guozhen, it was already unexpected, he thought about it for a while, and said: "I plan to recruit more water masters, I want to fight their Sanmen Bay!" ”
Sanmen Bay is the residence of the sailors of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
Li Xingze admired: "Leader Fang is really heroic, if this is given to me, I will never dare to provoke the Yuan army!" ”
Fang Guan took a bowl of wine, walked over and touched Li Xingze, and asked casually, "Is Li Junshi in such a hurry?" ”
It has been more than half a month since he came out, and Li Xingze, who was worried about the battle situation of the Red Turban Army, nodded, and sighed: "The Red Turban Army is already embattled, and the situation is extremely difficult!" ”
"Poof"
Fang Guan squirted out a sip of wine directly, stared at the round eyes, and said in surprise: "No!" ”
This time, the eyes of many toasters were attracted, Li Xingze glanced at everyone, sighed softly, and introduced the current situation of the Red Turban Army in various places.
Fang Guozhen said in his heart, now he is wondering if it is too early to fight with the Yuan army.
At that moment, Fang Guozhen suddenly said: "Li Junshi, this time I asked Guoying to take Guan Er and Le'er to accompany you!" ”
"Ahh
Li Xingze hurriedly stood up and excused himself: "How can this be done? ”
Fang Guozhen stood up with a smile, held Li Xingze's hand, and said, "I did something wrong to Marshal Xu before, and it's rare that he doesn't care about it!" ”
After a pause, he continued: "There are many waterways in Huguang Province, I asked them to bring half of the brigs to help in the battle this time, I believe that Li Junshi will have a lot easier!" ”
Belonging to the two armies, but being so generous, Li Xingze was immediately overjoyed and immediately thanked him repeatedly.
Li Xingze was immediately relieved, with the help of the Fang family, the battle in Huangzhou would inevitably be much easier.
Fang Guoying lightly touched Guozhen below, glanced at Li Xingze, who was clinking bowls with everyone, and whispered in a low voice: "Third brother, in order to restrain Li Junshi, is it too big?" ”
Who knows, a sneer appeared on the corner of Fang Guozhen's mouth, and he explained in a low voice: "Do you think I will be so kind, as long as Huangzhou attracts the attention of the Yuan Court, my side will benefit both sides!" ”
Several Red Turban Army suffered setbacks one after another, only Huangzhou is currently alone, and has not suffered any substantial defeats, Fang Guozhen wants to cheer Huangzhou, one is to attract the attention of the Yuan Court, and the other is just to increase the bargaining chips for future operations.
Fang Guoying came to her senses at this time, and admired at the moment: "The third brother is still thoughtful!" ”
Fang Guozhen hurriedly advised: "Guoying, when you go to Huangzhou, you must have a good relationship with them, and you must go all out to fight, and you must not slack off in the slightest!" ”
"Third brother, don't worry, am I that kind of person?"
......
"Senior brother, Leader Fang is a good person!" Zhang Junbao was lying in the cabin and suddenly lifted up.
At this moment, the two of them were on the Fang family's warship and were on their way back to Huangzhou.
Li Xingze pouted disappetically: "Do you think they will be so kind, who will do things without benefits, to put it bluntly, we are just using each other!" ”
The two warlords will have a good impression of each other and love each other, and this kind of nonsense is nothing more than coaxing a three-year-old child.
Zhang Junbao immediately nodded and said, "You are not blinded by their enthusiasm, I am relieved!" (To be continued.) )
