In Jiangsu, Zhejiang, about a few hundred warships, often cruised on the seas near the coast, mainly because Fang Guozhen often plundered passing merchant ships, which had a great impact, and this time the Yuan court was really angry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Xingze never understood that Fang Guozhen was always active at sea, so why didn't he find a place to live on the shore.

Only then did Fang Guan talk about the cruising of the Yuan army's ships, and he didn't dare to show his face easily, as long as there was accurate news about the merchant ships, the Fang family would dispatch.

The Fang family hid the ship at the foot of Taimu Mountain in Fuding. Qingyuan is mountainous, and at this moment, Fang Guozhen's people and horses are entrenched in Qingyuan's Donggong Mountain.

After the longitudinal horse bypassed Panyang Lake, several people took a boat from Fuzhou Road, all the way down the river to the south, through Jianchang Road, Jianning Road, to Qingyuan.

The mountains on this side of Qingyuan are continuous, the peaks are undulating, and there are many river valleys, but the Yuan army is not very prepared, and they dare not come here easily.

Living in the mountains, it will not be easy for people to come to find trouble, but it also restricts development, after the Fang family was exiled to the sea, the total number of sailors and soldiers recruited was only more than a thousand people.

Li Xingze was puzzled: "Why don't you look for islands overseas?" ”

As soon as he said this, he knew that Li Xingze had never lived at sea, and the Fang family members present all laughed, and the tall and mighty Fang Guozhen smiled and dissuaded: "Li Junshi doesn't understand, everyone don't laugh!" ”

Then he smiled wryly: "Life can't be on an island!" ”

The Yuan Court sailors have blocked the nearby coastline in disguise, and they have to trade ashore for the purchase of necessary supplies, isn't this clearly telling where the Yuan Court people are?

I see, I'm afraid this is Fang Guozhen's idea of rushing to break the blockade, and in this way, there will be retreat and advance.

Thinking of this, Li Xingze didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction, after all, he was ignorant just now, so he asked, "Is there any firearm on Leader Fang's side?" ”

Fang Guozhen glanced at the brothers with an embarrassed face, shook his head and sighed: "Not at all!" ”

Before Li Xingze could speak, Fang Guan came in and shouted: "Dad, the fourth uncle's fleet was discovered by the sailor, and he is in hot pursuit, and we need to come to the rescue!" ”

In the morning, Fang Guozhen sent two warships to observe the movement on the sea, who knows, the Yuan army sailors happened to dock at Qixing Island not far away, and found the two ships of the Fang family, so they followed.

The two warships did not dare to dock at the port of Shadi, and when they were approaching, several good fighters secretly jumped into the sea and swam to the shore to report.

It is normal for a few days at sea, Qingyuan is about a day's journey from Taimu Mountain, although the time is sufficient, but the military situation is urgent.

At that moment, everyone in the Fang family hurriedly rushed over with Li Xingze and Zhang Junbao.

At the foot of Taimu Mountain is the Shadi Port, because the entrance and exit are particularly narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, not conducive to the entry and exit of large ships, since the Fang family broke through here, the Yuan Court did not station the sailors again.

There were about more than 100 ships parked in the harbor, Fang Guozhen and several brothers took sailors and boarded a ship each, and almost a dozen warships left the port urgently.

This is the first time that Li Xingze has 'drifted across the sea' in the real sense, the endless sea, the ups and downs of the warship, and the two of them knelt on the strings of the boat and vomited.

"Senior brother... I wouldn't have come with you if I had known... "Zhang Junbao rolled his eyes and complained.

"I don't want to... "Li Xingze is no better, and his stomach has already vomited.

Fang Guozhen saw the virtue of the two of them, and knew that this was a necessary process, and there were no jokes, just asking Fang Le to say hello.

The two warships pursued by the sailors this time were the team led by Fang Guoying, who guessed that the third brother would definitely set sail after knowing the news, and took the four warships of the Yuan Court to go around Dongyin Island, and then circled back.

"How is Leader Fang going to move?" Li Xingze, who was in contact with naval warfare for the first time, was quite interested, and after sailing for a while, his spirits were better, so he hurriedly asked.

Fang Guozhen smiled bitterly: "We were caught up, it was difficult to run away, the two warships that Guo Ying brought were also four-masted warships, and the speed was the same as that of the sailor!" ”

Li Xingze looked at the sea and suddenly said, "Can you let me look at the chart?" ”

Why can't this be, Fang Le immediately took out a map, and after Fang Le's guidance, he barely understood it, and probably knew the distance and the location of the island.

Li Xingze asked Fang Le only to know that according to their speed and course, they had been sailing south, and they probably met Fang Guoying not far south of the Sibei Islands.

"Then fight with the Yuan Army Sailor on the Sibei Islands!" After thinking for a moment, Li Xingze suddenly shouted.

"Huh?"

You must know that Fang Guozhen is a person who has been floating on the sea all the year round, and he immediately became suspicious of Li Xingze, a rookie in naval warfare, and wondered: "Why is he there?" ”

Originally planning to fight a few brigs if they couldn't do it, they tried to get close to the sailors so that they could engage in a string battle.

Li Xingze smiled and said: "I don't understand naval warfare, but the enemy and us have their own advantages and disadvantages, you see if what I said is right!" ”

Li Xingze pointed to the chart, and then said: "Several of the islands in the Four Ridges are not far apart, I mean the pilot division enters, and then uses the characteristics of the double masg to maneuver quickly to ambush the west side of the exit of this island!" ”

Suddenly appeared next to the four-masted warship of the sailor, and took advantage of his surprise to lean directly on it for a string battle.

The northernmost of the four archipelago is the largest, in the shape of a long cone, the end of the cone is in the northernmost, and the bend is about two miles, which is suitable for ambushing these dozen or so warships.

Fang Guozhen looked at Li Xingze in surprise, this person is really not simple, the first time he came into contact with naval warfare, he could think of this, they had done this with the sailors of the Yuan army more than once before.

admired at the moment: "What Li Junshi said is extremely true, then let's do it!" ”

Looking at Li Xingze, who was standing confidently in the sea breeze, Fang Le was also confused for a while, is this still the man who ate in the restaurant.

When a few slender masts appeared on the coastline in the distance, Fang Guozhen immediately shouted: "Lower the sails, turn the sails, and the left full rudder!" ”

Several sailors scrambled up to the top of the mast, untied the rope with their hands and feet, and with a 'bang' sound, the ship's mainsail shook down, and at the same time steered the steering sail into the wind, and then the three helmsmen who supported the rudder wrenched the rudder to death.

'Squeak'

The old sea ship made a tearing sound as it turned.

When Fang Guoying's fleet approached, Fang Guozhen's fleet also made a turn, and the sailors quickly pulled up the mainsail again. The sailors of the Yuan court followed closely behind, and the distance between the two sides was only about two miles.

Fang Guoying, who was walking side by side, waved a burst of flags.

Fang Guozhen hurriedly explained the way of fighting and asked the flag bearer to tell Fang Guoying.

Fang Guoying was confused now, looking at the meaning of the third brother, he probably wanted to find an island to fight with the Yuan Court sailors, obviously he could fight here, why did he want to run away.

According to Li Xingze's statement, Fang Guozhen may have to capture a few more warships this time.

At that moment, Fang Guozhen ordered everyone not to use things that ignite fire.

The naval battle was really cruel, and when he saw how Fang Guozhen commanded the ships to fight for a while, Li Xingze couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Why is Junshi Li embarrassed?" Fang Le, who was on the side, was puzzled.

Li Xingze looked back at the four warships of the Yuan Court Sailors, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really difficult to make a living at sea, and under this kind of fighting, there must be a lot of casualties!" ”

Fang Le pursed his lips and chuckled: "Why does Li Junshi have to be a woman, isn't it the same when fighting on land?" ”

When Li Xingze heard this, he was immediately stunned.

.......

Several four-masted islands not far away came into view, and Fang Guozhen commanded the dozen or so ships to keep a distance, allowing the two-masted warships to enter first, and then the four-masted warships used as cover and rushed in behind.

The Yuan Court sailors did not doubt him, thinking that the Fang family's fleet planned to rely on the island to get rid of their pursuit, and still entered the archipelago with full sails.

As everyone knows, in order to confuse the Yuan army, Fang Guozhen had already ordered several four-masted ships behind the palace to quietly lower the main sail into half sails, gradually shortening the distance between him and the Yuan court sailors.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only about a mile, and the 'bang' sound on the Yuan Court sailor's boat, which could not be resisted, flashed the fire at the mouth of the front of the ship, and the iron ball with a large bowl fell not far from the stern of the Fang family.

Li Xingze knew that the effective distance of the firearm was limited, and even if one or two iron balls landed on the deck now, it would not be effective to damage the warship.

However, he still stared at the iron ball flying in the distance, for fear of being smashed into a pulp.

'Plop'

Another iron ball flew and almost hit the left chord of the ship, splashing a column of water on the side of the ship, still startling everyone on board.

Several of the Fang family's four-masted warships were slowly approaching the northernmost edge of the Sibei Islands, and soon the corner of the cone tail could be seen.

Fang Guozhen caught a glimpse of a dozen brigs that had already completed a U-turn not far away, and quickly rushed towards the mouth of the archipelago from west to east along the place where the Yuan army behind him could not see.

"Full sails, full rudders!" When he was about to leave the island, Fang Guozhen suddenly shouted.

In an instant, the sails were blown up by the sea breeze and a large bag, and many things on the deck rolled to the other side as the hull tilted.

All the sailors held down the starboard side of the warship that was upturned, that is, Zhang Junbao and Li Xingze did not expect that they were thrown to the ground and rolled to the ground.

The sound of 'plopping' sounded continuously, and the fire of the Yuan Court sailor just now opened fire almost at the same time, and all the projectiles fell into the sea, raising bursts of water.

Li Xingze, who was tightly holding the strings of the boat, had a gleam in his eyes, and the timing was just right.

Coincidentally, the naval warships of the Yuan court had already reached the position of the mouth of the sea, and they did not watch out for the brigs rushing over with full sails on one side.

"Boom"

For a time, more than a dozen brigs collided with the naval warships of the Yuan Dynasty, and the sailors on both sides were all thrown to the ground by the force of the collision.

Caught off guard, the unprepared Yuan army had not yet gotten up, and the sailors of the Fang family had already thrown out hook ropes one after another and caught the Yuan army's warship.

"Kill!"

The sailors on the brig climbed along the rope one by one, and the Fang family's four-masted warships rushed back head-on after completing their U-turn. The sailors on the ship drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows rained down on the Yuan warship.

With the cover of arrows, the sailors quickly climbed onto the Yuan army's warship and fought with the Yuan army, which had already been dizzy after being thrown on the ship. (To be continued.) )
