"My lord, the sailor has completed the supply and can set off at any time, please show the general!"

"Okay, order all ships to set off immediately, and target the Liaodong Naval Division stationed in Yizhou and Zhuya!"

"Yes!"

After careful preparations, the Funan Naval Division, under the leadership of Fan Li, took the initiative to attack in the name of exterminating pirates, and was determined to sneak attack the Liaodong Naval Division stationed in Zhuya and Yizhou. As long as the Liaodong naval division can be eliminated in the port, the threat of Funan at sea can be completely removed, and the foundation for the future capture of Yizhou can be laid.

Before, Zhuya and Yizhou were just two desert islands, and they were inconspicuous. However, it was not until Liaodong established a port in the two places that many people realized the importance of the two islands.

The reason why the king of Funan took a fancy to Yizhou was that he obviously realized how important the strategic location of Yizhou Island was.

Fan Li stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the undulating sea, full of ambition in his heart, and he was full of confidence in this battle. According to the scouts, the Liaodong Navy Division would return to the garrison at noon every day after its naval training. And as long as he launches a sneak attack when the Liaodong Naval Division's warships return to the port to replenish supplies, he can be fatal with one blow.

On the ninth day of the third month of the fifth year of Jianxing, at noon, the main force of the Funan Naval Division quietly arrived near the waters off the two islands of Yizhou and Zhuya by two routes, and after avoiding a wave of patrol ships of the Liaodong Naval Division, they silently wanted to approach the port in the shortest possible time.

More than half a year ago, when the warships of the Liaodong Naval Division arrived on the two islands of Yizhou and Zhuya with a large number of sailors, craftsmen and materials, it aroused the vigilance of Funan.

Since the two sides have just signed the "Non-Aggression Pact," in addition, ports and bases cannot be built in a short period of time. Funan didn't take it very seriously, but they obviously underestimated Liaodong's capabilities, and only a few months later, Liaodong expanded the two major ports of Sanya and Keelung on the two islands.

Now the two ports have become the biggest reliance of the Liaodong Navy Division to deter Nanyang, and they are gradually threatening the interests of Funan. In addition, Liaodong sent envoys to constantly harass the Nanyang countries, and now I look back at the two bases of Yizhou and Zhuya, so that Funan has a feeling of being stuck in my throat.

In order to eliminate the threat that was close at hand, coupled with the ambition of the King of Funan to occupy Yizhou, Fan Li finally prompted Fan Li to command the main force of the Funan Navy Division and implement a sneak attack plan.

"General, ahead is Yizhou Keelung Port! According to the scout's report, there are hundreds of Liaodong Navy Division warships gathered in the port, it seems that they have just returned from a training mission, as long as they can avoid the patrol ships on the alert mission, the general can command the captain of the fleet to drive straight in, and kill the Liaodong people without leaving a piece of armor! ”

"Okay, that's great, pass on my command: the sailor can go!"

Fan Li stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the harbor with many masts in front of him, holding the hilt of the knife at his waist, and ordered without looking back: "Order all warships to divide into five formations to carry out a surprise attack!" Remember! No one is allowed to make a loud noise during the raid, order all archers to climb the tower, light the rockets, prepare for the attack, and do not attack at will without the order of the general! ”

"Yes, General!"

The huge fleet of sailors slowly approached the Keelung harbor, and at this time, because the Liaodong Sailors had just completed their sea training, the entire port was filled with various sailor warships. The port is usually full of traffic, but at this moment, there are no ships sailing on the nearby sea, except for patrol boats that row across the sea from time to time.

To be honest, without the help of modern satellite reconnaissance technology at sea, it is impossible to easily find the traces of an ancient naval fleet. Therefore, even though the Liaodong Naval Division arranged a lot of patrol boats, it still did not find the Funan Naval Division that was approaching the port step by step in time.

An hour later, Fan Li finally saw the outline of the island looming in the sky, and at the same time, a huge lighthouse towering the sky appeared in front of him. He had never seen such a magnificent and tall building before, and although the lighthouse appeared very early in China, it was really widely used after the modern era because of the ancient Chinese despisance of coastal defense.

Although the people of this era did not know the importance of lighthouse navigation, Wei Shuo knew very well. Therefore, the lighthouse was used for maritime navigation in Liaodong as early as possible, and there were tall lighthouses in Laoshan and Lushun ports. When the Liaodong Navy Division went south to open up the two bases of Yizhou and Zhuya, the lighthouse was the first important building to be built.

When the man at the lighthouse saw a large fleet rapidly approaching the harbor in the distance, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and he immediately lit the wolf smoke and sounded the alarm bell in the tower. In the blink of an eye, the port, which had been silent just now, suddenly became lively.

As soon as Fan Li saw the wolf smoke fluttering high, he realized that the sneak attack plan had been discovered by the Liaodong soldiers who were in charge of guarding the lighthouse, and he immediately ordered the fleet to speed up the march. He nervously observed the reaction of the Liaodong people in the port, and silently calculated the distance between the fleet and the port in his heart.

When the fleet arrived less than three hundred meters away from the port, Fan Li took out the long knife at his waist and shouted: "The warriors of Funan have set up their warships and rushed into the port with me!" Kill! ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The huge shouting and killing sound suddenly broke the tranquility of the entire port, and Keelung, which had just been leisurely, suddenly became boiling and lively. Many members of the marines of the Liaodong Army took up arms one after another to prepare to meet the enemy, and many sailors jumped on the warships and tried to start moving, regardless of their own safety.

"Shoot! Archery! ”

Fan Li took advantage of the fact that the Liaodong army had not yet reacted, and immediately ordered a rocket attack, as long as the Liaodong warship was burned in the port, Funan would be invincible. Suddenly, thick smoke billowed in the port, and many anxious Liaodong sailors rescued the warships in the port. After three successive waves of arrows, almost every ship in the entire harbor was covered in fire.

"All soldiers take up arms and go out to meet the enemy, be sure to block the enemy's attack!"

At this time, the officers and men of the Liaodong Naval Division, who had already reacted, quickly launched a decisive counterattack, and many soldiers drove warships to start a white-knuckle battle with the enemy, trying their best to resist the attack of the Funan Naval Division.

Wei Shuo, who had just arrived in Yizhou not long ago, looked at the chaotic scene in the port, and showed a few wry smiles, he didn't expect that he would encounter a sneak attack from Funan as soon as he arrived in Yizhou. It seems that the people of Liaodong really underestimated the Funan people, and no matter how much they lost after this battle, the loss of the spirit of the Liaodong Navy Division will inevitably have an adverse impact on future operations.

"Lord, Funan really has two brushes, and the subordinates really didn't expect Funan to dare to carry out a sneak attack!" Feng Yi and Wen Qiao said worriedly.

"It's too late to say anything now, whether you can survive this catastrophe or not, then it depends on the performance of the sailor!"

Although the Liaodong Naval Division was suddenly attacked and suffered a little for a while, after all, the Liaodong Naval Division was well-trained, coupled with Liaodong's leading technology, and large bed crossbows were scattered around the port to guard the safety of the port.

After the defenders blocked the first wave of the offensive of the Funan Naval Division, Mr. Liu, who was sitting in the rear, had the opportunity to rescue the warships and rearrange the defensive line. In addition, the two-box sailor marines stationed in the port were also ready to attack, and Chen An, Duan Wenyang, Ji Tang and other fierce generals were all gearing up, waiting for the order to attack.

Soon, the enemy and us entered the brutal white-knuckle battle, although it was the first time that the Liaodong Naval Division experienced such a battle, fortunately, there were sailors selected from the Xiang Army and the government soldiers to help. These veterans of the Xiang Army, who were selected for the Marine Corps, have rich combat experience in each case.

In the first period of time, most of the positions were occupied by Hun Funan, and many people were killed. But later, under the command of Mr. Liu, Duan Wenyang, Chen An and others, and with the help of crossbows and ballistas in the port defense bed, the sailors began to stabilize their positions. Where did the Funan sailors encounter such a rigorous defense system, and they were killed and retreated for a while.

"Report! The big thing is not good, the Liaodong defenders in the port have stabilized their position, and now they are sending an infantry phalanx to slaughter our army! When our army faced the Liaodong army formation, it could not advance at all, and was killed and retreated again and again, and most of the warships and positions occupied before had been lost. The brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and what to do next, please show the general quickly! ”

Fan Li frowned, he never expected that a sneak attack that he was determined to win would gradually turn into an anxious battle. He completely underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong people, and in desperation, he could only urge his subordinates to speed up the attack, and strive to defeat Liaodong as soon as possible and take the port.
