The sea was blowing a whistling north wind, and the turbulent waves pushed the warships of both sides to rise and fall, and the naval warships from Lushun did not cause much damage to the ships of the floating water division

The people who were injured by the floating water division were all soldiers on the small No. 1 warship, as well as the sail mast of the warship. The hull of the No. 1 Daifuku ship was too tall for the opponent's artillery to reach, and the soldiers on board were not affected.

Cheng Yousheng led the naval fleet to sea alone for the first time, after all, he had no experience in naval combat, and when he encountered enemy ships, he ordered the warships to discharge the attack formation to fight, but ignored the howling north wind on the sea, which was extremely unfavorable to the Fushan fleet sailing against the wind.

In this case, the fleet should change course, and the naval warship should go around the flank of the opponent's naval division and seize the opportunity to attack, so that the defense of its own fleet can be guaranteed, and it can also attack and damage the opponent's warship in a larger area.

In the face of the enemy's warships not grasping the timing and not judging the situation and giving the order to open fire from the artillery, so that they were attacked by the other side, insiders could see at a glance that the commander of the floating water division fleet lacked experience in naval warfare.

Faced with the other party's sudden attack, Cheng Yousheng broke out in a cold sweat.

Cheng Yousheng needs to accumulate these sea combat experiences slowly, but there is no time for introspection now.

As soon as the opponent's artillery fire passed, Cheng Yousheng immediately waved his binoculars and shouted: "Send the flag, all the warship artillery will be launched immediately!" ”

The artillery of the Floating Mountain Water Division Fleet stayed by the artillery and suffered a lot, and the firing order was delayed, but the opponent's artillery fire was ushered in.

Just now, a round of artillery fire from the opponent's warship made people feel that the power of the opponent's artillery was not very strong, many artillery soldiers thought. Under the same conditions, the power of the artillery of the Fushan fleet is definitely much greater than that of the opponent.

Received an order to fire artillery. The gunners reacted quickly, and the deafening sound of artillery resounded over the sea.

A total of six Hongyi cannons were installed on the six Daifuku ships of the Fushan Water Division's fleet. In addition, the guns of the No. 2 Fu ship and the sentinel ship are all Western artillery, and the artillery of the floating water division is fired, and the rear guns of both sides are highly powerful.

The Hongyi cannon on the ship of the floating water master Daifu can reach a maximum range of five miles, and each shot can be transmitted for several miles, and once it hits the target, the harm caused by it is also shocking.

Now the warships of the two sides are at most one mile apart, and the Hongyi cannons on the six Daifuku ships roared almost at the same time, only to see a burst of fire from the muzzle position accompanied by a burst of gunsmoke.

As soon as the first ammunition was fired, all the gunners immediately began to clear the chambers. Prepare for the second launch.

When the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, I saw that several warships on the other side were hit by Hongyi cannons, and the warships that were hit were in a mess, the mast of the warship was stopped and hit into two sections, and the warships that lost their mast sails began to spin on the sea, and the warships had severed limbs and arms, and there were casualties of soldiers everywhere.

One of the Haicang ships had a large hole in its hull, and the hull began to tilt as the sea water rushed into the hull. A few soldiers on the Haicang ship jumped into the sea in a panic, ready to swim to the nearby warship to be rescued, and most of the surviving soldiers cried and cursed, but did not have the courage to jump into the icy water.

Lushun's vice-admiral Chen sometimes stood at the head of the command ship. The sudden appearance of the sailor fleet was suspicious, and the other party's more than 30 warships actually owned six No. 1 Daifuku ships. The worst of the rest of the warships are also sentinel ships, although the number is small, but their combat power is incomparable to the miscellaneous warships led by themselves.

In the entire Dongjiang Town, even under the command of the chief military officer Huang Long, there was no such powerful naval fleet. The only possible fleet of this sailor is the Denlai sailor fleet.

Dengzhou is controlled by Kong Youde, and the Denglai Sailor should fall into his hands. But at present, it seems that the situation is not right, and the other party seems to be coming violently to fight against the sailors led by himself.

Did something go wrong? The more Chen thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and Kong Youde's idea of defecting to Dengzhou was shaken.

Originally, he and Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others belonged to Dongjiang Town, but after the chief soldier Mao Wenlong was unjustly killed, these soldiers under Mao Shuai went their separate ways.

Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Li Jiucheng and other generals led the crowd to defect to Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, while Chen Shi, Mao Chenglu and other generals continued to stay in the garrison.

Huang Long took over as the chief military officer in Dongjiang Town, and the generals left behind on the islands did not take it seriously at all, and disobeyed his military orders.

Huang Long, the chief military officer, used military salaries as a threat, and the generals who obeyed orders could get enough food and salary, while those who were unruly tried every means to deduct military salaries, resulting in two military rebellions in just two years.

Chen was sometimes the deputy general of Lushun, of course, he was also detained by Huang Long, and he had no choice but to swallow his anger under the low eaves.

Lushun is divided into two cities in the north and south, the north city was demolished by the Houjin slave soldiers in the third year of Yaoqi, Chen is stationed in the south city at present, the city is 300 steps in one week, the moat is two feet wide and five feet, there are only two gates in the north and south, 3,000 officers and soldiers are stationed, and in fact only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers are stationed.

Just a hundred miles north of Lushun City is the Jinzhou occupied by the Later Jin, which has been under the control of the Later Jin for three years, and is stationed here under the Houjin Blue Banner.

Because of the smooth sea route of the Ming Dynasty, troops could be transported to Lushun by sea at any time to launch an attack on the hinterland of Houjin, so Houjin had to allocate a large part of his forces to defend Lushun in Jinzhou and Fuzhou.

On the contrary, if the Ming Dynasty gave up Lushun, once the Houjin occupied this strategic place, Denglai and other places close to southern Liaoning would become the first choice for the Houjin to burn and loot, and there would never be peace.

It can be said that Lushun was controlled by the Ming Dynasty, which formed a huge constraint on the Later Jin regime, and the importance of its strategic position is self-evident.

However, even for these soldiers in their early 1,000s, it is still difficult to guarantee the supply of food and salary, and they are often deducted by the chief military officer Huang Long.

Because the Han people around Lushun were all killed by the order of the Houjin old slaves, there were no people around for thousands of miles, and the Lushun guards had nowhere to start if they wanted to go out to rob.

can only rely on people's breath, all food and salary supplies rely on external supplies, and the officers and soldiers stationed here can only barely eat and wear, so the officers and soldiers stationed in Lushun City have long complained.

Upon learning of the information that Kong Youde had occupied such a strategic place as Dengzhou, Chen sometimes couldn't hold back immediately, and after packing up and preparing for a few days, he led most of the officers and soldiers of the Lushun guards to Dengzhou to defect to Kong Youde. As for the consequences of Lushun being occupied by Houjin, he has long been ignored.

The two water masters meet. Each side fired a round of artillery, and the gap was immediately apparent. The powerful power of the opponent's warship is not comparable to that of his own miscellaneous warship!

Seeing that the six castle-like ships of the sea led by the other party rampage towards their own naval warships with coercion, and their own warships really had no way to hide, they could only let this behemoth knock over the warship.

Chen was terrified in his heart, these more than 1,000 people were the foundation of his foothold, and if he was eliminated in a daze, he would become a lost dog in the future and have nowhere to stay.

At this time, the desire to compete with the other party in my heart has long been gone, and it is important to protect the people in my hands from being wiped out first.

Urgently ordered the flag soldiers to signal to the other side, asking the other side to suspend the attack. The two sides held peace talks and ordered their artillery to stop firing again.

The flag soldier sent a signal, and soon the opponent's sailor responded, and the opponent asked himself, the commander of the sailor, to come forward to communicate, and the opponent could temporarily stop the attack.

Watching the other party's castle-like warship on the sea slowly slow down, Chen Suowen's nervous beating heart calmed down a little.

He ordered his boat to sail out of the sailor's queue and dock with a No. 1 Daifuku ship opposite, and after the two warships approached, Chen sometimes stepped out of the bow position. I saw a young man standing on the opposite warship with a telescope in his hand, staring at him.

Although Chen is sometimes a third-rank military attaché, he can't figure out the identity of the other party, and now his own sailor is threatened by the other party. If you can't say it, you have to put your posture lower.

Standing at the bow of the ship, he bowed slightly to Cheng Yousheng and said: "This official is Lushun Deputy General Chen Shishi, I don't know why the general on the other side has a big name, why did he intercept and attack us?" ”

Cheng Yousheng grinned. This is really the Lushun chief soldier Chen Shishi, listening to him to avoid the important and light. Instead, blame their own side.

To deal with this kind of trickster, Cheng Yousheng has the best way. There was a hint of playfulness at the corner of his mouth: "Since you are the deputy general of Lushun, why did you go to Dengzhou to guard against the Houjin slave soldiers in the administrative office?" ”

Chen was sometimes swallowed by Cheng Yousheng's words, and said, "This officer is leading his soldiers to patrol the sea......"

Cheng Yousheng immediately interrupted: "Can you use your deputy general Lushun to go out in person for maritime patrols?" Do you need all the soldiers in Lushun? Do you need to be sneaky and dare not hang the flag of the sailor? I think you're going to defect to Kong Youde's rebels! ”

Cheng Yousheng's words were shocking, and Chen Shi's face immediately changed greatly, and he shouted with a little weakness: "You are talking nonsense, and you say that this official has taken refuge in Kong Youde, but you have no basis for it!" ”

The corners of Cheng Yousheng's mouth showed a cat-and-mouse smile and said: "I don't need evidence, if you don't accept it, I have my own cannon to deal with you." Now I will give you two ways, one is to follow our naval fleet back to the military port to wait for processing; The other way is a duel between the two sides, and let our warships sink all of your motley sailors in the sea. ”

Chen sometimes couldn't be frightened by Cheng Yousheng's words, he took a deep breath and said: "This official sees that the warships and ships led by the general are strong and artillery, and only the Dengzhou Naval Division has such strong strength in this Liaohai Sea, and the general and his subordinates are not the Dengzhou Naval Division?" ”

Cheng Yousheng did not shy away from saying: "Yes, what I led was the Dengzhou Navy Division's warships, and when Kong Youde's rebellious troops captured Dengzhou, all the warships of my Dengzhou Navy Division were safely transferred, cutting off Kong Youde's back road." ”

He groaned and said: "Our garrison said that you have an old relationship with Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others, and it is very likely that you have come from afar to defect, and now the matter has come true." ”

In front of outsiders, Cheng Yousheng naturally wanted to call Feng Jian his official position.

Chen was really disappointed sometimes, he originally hoped that Kong Youde would occupy Dengzhou City, and he, the old brothers of Dongjiang, would get together again and run Dengzhou into an independent kingdom.

It can be said that the reason why Chen sometimes defected to Dengzhou was that the most important thing was the Dengzhou Naval Division, and even if Dengzhou City was captured by the imperial army, he could also use the Naval Division to retreat from the sea.

Suddenly, when I heard that all the warships of the Dengzhou Navy Division had been transferred, and Kong Youde and the others only got an empty water city, they were naturally extremely disappointed in their hearts. (To be continued......)
