The Western Expedition to Guishan was in full swing, and the Qingzhou Campaign also entered the moment of bloody battle.

Laizhou Bay, above the misty bay, the 10th Division of the Wu Army's Flame Army and the 2nd Fleet of the Wei Army's Wenpin Army had reached its most intense time after a day and two nights of fierce battles.

Early morning.

The morning sun was like a rainbow, and the light was as bright as gold reflected on the sea surface of the misty bay, and the warships of the two fleets were interspersed, constantly clashing in the ups and downs of the wind and waves.

"Interspersed with the past, surround their warship!"

"Throw stones, sink that defensive ship, and kill it!"

"Block, the Ding Qi warship on the left will come directly and block Wu Guogou's warship outside!"

“……“

On the surface of the sea, the wind and waves were sudden, the shouts of killing were like waves, and all around were floating broken wooden planks, broken sails, floating corpses of soldiers, and red seawater...... It's like the land of regional Shura.

"Damn, this battle can't be fought!"

Wei fleet, Wen Ping's burly voice stood on the main battleship, holding a long knife in one arm, looking at the respectful and fierce Wu army in front of him, his face was as low as water: "Order, the whole army retreats!" ”

Defeated, he was still defeated.

At the beginning, he fought a half-catty and eight taels, but in terms of combat toughness, the Wei army was not as good as the Wu army, and he could still stalemate yesterday, but since last night, he has been at a disadvantage.

In this battle, even though the Wei army had a geographical advantage and a military advantage, it was finally defeated by the Wu navy.

"General?"

"Why do you want to quit?"

"We can still fight!"

When several lieutenants standing beside Wen Ping heard this, their eyes were a little red, obviously unwilling.

"If we don't retreat, what will we do to fight, this battle has been fought so far, we have sunk a whole seven fighting ships. The casualties have exceeded 3,000 erlang, and if they don't retreat, they will all be explained here today! ”

"General, their Wu Kingdom is no less casualty than ours!"

A lieutenant gritted his teeth.

Wen Ping said coldly: "If they are injured, can we get hurt?" ”

The Wei Navy has such a little background, and the training and training of soldiers is okay. If it was really a bloody battle, they would have been wiped out in the first battle.

However, the Wu Navy has a deep heritage, and even if the 10th Division is exhausted, it will not affect the strength of the Wu Navy.

"But General Cai Mao said......"

One of the lieutenants muttered.

"If there is anything, I will personally carry it, where General Cai is, I will personally explain, now. You immediately obeyed the order, and the whole army retreated, withdrawing in the direction of Qianshan Gorge! ”

Wen Ping almost gritted his teeth before he gave the order to retreat.

He also didn't want to retreat, if he could, he would rather die here, and the man would fight on the battlefield, from Jingzhou to Qingzhou, from Chu to Wei. He has experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, and he is not a person who is afraid of death.

Now he had to retreat.

Cai Mao finally accumulated this naval foundation. If the Second Fleet is completely wiped out in this battle, Cai Mao's hard work during this time will be in vain.

They were bent on competing with the Wu Navy, but after the fight, they realized that compared to the Wu Navy, their fleet's ability to fight at sea was still too jerky.

"No!"

When the captains heard this, they hurriedly bowed to their leaders. began to retreat in the direction of Qianshan Gorge with the remnants of the army.

"Division commander, withdraw, they withdraw!"

On the building ship of the 10th Division, there was some ecstasy on the face of the chief of staff. The back of the Wei army, who was watching the desert and fleeing, shouted loudly.

"Good!"

The main general Chen Heng sat on a chair on the deck, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the bandages on his shoulders and back were constantly oozing blood, but he still gritted his teeth to support himself from falling: "Immediately give an order, 3101 Regiment, 3103 Regiment, 3104 Regiment, three regiments, all fleets, as long as the warships can move, immediately pursue, and beat the opportunity to fall into the water dogs, don't let it go!" ”

"Yes!"

Under the blazing battle flags that sounded one after another, the 10th Division began to chase the Wenpin fleet to fight.

"Divisional commander, your injury!" On the boat, Yu Sheng asked a little nervously.

"Can I still survive, where is the pursuit ahead?" Chen Heng was seriously injured, but he was also a tough guy, and he still held on.

"Thousand Mountains Gorge!"

Yu Sheng looked at it and said: "Division commander, we can't chase anymore, although the enemy was defeated in this battle, the casualties of our tenth division are too great, and there are still Wu Anguo's Third Fleet and Cai Mao's First Fleet in Qianshan Gorge, if we catch up, we will wait for the whole army to be annihilated!" ”

"Herald, stop!"

Chen Heng bled profusely, his face was very pale, and with the support of his own soldiers, he stood up, picked up the 'clairvoyance' and looked at the terrain in front carefully: "Send someone to report to General He, chase or not, or ask General He what he means!" ”

"No!"

At this time, above the misty bay, in the layers of mist, the main fleet of the Wu army gradually emerged.

"General, General Chen Heng has a letter, the Tenth Division has forced the Wei Second Fleet into the Qianshan Strait!"

"Well done!"

He Qi's main fleet has successfully crossed the Misty Strait and entered the hinterland of Laizhou Bay: "This Cai Mao is really calm, the second fleet is so defeated, he won't send troops!" ”

He was not surprised that Chen Heng was able to defeat Wenpin's fleet, and in the realm of the navy, no one could compete with the Wu navy.

This is his self-confidence, and it is also Wu Guo's self-confidence.

Even though the Wei Navy now occupies the right time and place, the Second Fleet of the Wei Navy was still defeated by Chen Heng's 10th Division in the Misty Bay.

There are many reasons for this.

First, because at sea, even if the warships of the Wu navy were fighting ships and ships of the same scale, their combat effectiveness, combat equipment, or combat experience far surpassed those of the Wei navy.

The second point is that Cai Mao was only a naval army on the Yangtze River before, and he was somewhat unfamiliar with the way he fought at sea, and the soldiers and horses he trained naturally had shortcomings.

It is a pity that He Qi did not be able to lure out Cai Mao's main force, the First Fleet.

"General. The chief of staff of the 10th Division, Yu Sheng, asked, does the 10th Division need to continue the pursuit? "A herald.

"General, it is enough to stop, there are nine bends and eighteen bends in the Qianshan Strait, and the main force of Cai Mao's First Fleet is waiting for work, and they rush in. There is a possibility that the 10th Division will be ambushed! A staff officer whispered.

"Summoning Chen Heng, poor Kou Mo chasing."

He Qi stood on the deck, his eyes looked at the Qianshan Gorge that was faintly emerging in front of him, and after thinking about it, he ordered: "Let them withdraw to rest!" ”

"No!"

A herald quickly went down to give the order.

Wenpin's fleet was defeated, and it could only withdraw from the barrier of Laizhou Bay, retreat to the Qianshan Strait, and join the main force of Cai Mao's First Fleet.

That's it. Their forces gathered, and Qianshan Gorge became a sea fortress.

"He Ling!"

"In!"

"The Fifth Division takes over the position of the Tenth Division, as the vanguard, and the troops are stationed in front of the Qianshan Gorge!" He Qi said.

"No!"

He Ling's eyes lit up, and his expression was a little excited.

Although his surname is He, he has nothing to do with He Qi, as a native of Youzhou, he entered the Wu Navy in the second year of the Warring States Period.

Before, even if he was a general under He Qi's command. Compared with the three fierce generals, it is not bad, but the temperament is more irritable.

So he was thrown into the Dongzhi Lecture Hall for a year of further study. It was only in May of the previous year that he was transferred back from Dongzhi by He Qi and appointed the commander of the Fifth Division.

The Fifth Division Fleet is one of the four divisions in the Qingzhou expedition this time, but the Chinese army, which has always been regarded as Heqi, is about to become an ornament.

Now that it's finally his turn to play, I'm naturally a little excited.

"Remember, there is no military order from General Ben. You can only guard the outside, and you can't enter the Thousand Mountains Gorge! He Qi instructed.

He Ling is also a fierce general, but this fierce general has a short temper and can't stand provocation, He Qi said coldly: "You dare not listen to military orders." I'll let you teach in Dongzhi Martial Arts Hall! ”

"The last general understands!"

He Ling shrank his head and hurriedly promised.

"Shi Yi!"

"The last general!"

"The 1st Division is ready to land!"

He Qi pointed to the map and said in a deep voice: "He Cai Mao wants to compete with us here, we naturally have to satisfy him, but we can't be led by him, if we want to turn the passive into the active, the first division will be broken into pieces, and all the islands around the Qianshan Gorge will be occupied by me, surround him, I see how many days he can survive!" ”

Among the four divisions that entered Laizhou Bay this time, only the first division was an infantry corps.

"No!"

Shi Yi received the order and immediately went down to deploy soldiers and prepare to land on the small islands around Qianshan Gorge.

"General, the Misty Bay where the Tenth Division has withdrawn!"

An hour later, a soldier came to report: "But the casualties of the 10th Division are very large, and the chief of staff asks for a rest!" ”

"Let Chen Heng come to see me!"

"I'm afraid I won't come!"

A soldier said: "Although the 10th Division defeated the Wenpin fleet, it suffered heavy casualties, and Division Commander Chen Heng was also shot in the shoulder by the enemy's stray arrows, and is now treating his wounds on the medical ship!" ”

"What, the main general's Chen Heng is actually injured? I'll take a look. ”

He Qi's face was ugly, and he stepped off the deck, and walked along the middle bridge towards a three-story ship on the left.

This ship is the infirmary of today's battlefield.

"General!"

Outside the cabin of a medical ship, the chief of staff of the 10th Division greeted him.

"How is Chen Heng's situation?"

"Life is fine, but the military doctor said that if you want to save his arm, you can't go to the battlefield for a month!"

Yu Sheng said with some stalk: "He was injured and stayed up all night, and now he has just fallen asleep!" ”

"How did you get hurt?" He Qi's fists clenched slightly.

"I was already injured last night!"

Yu Sheng said in detail: "Since last night, the battle between us and the Wei army has been one-sided, at this time, the enemy's main general Wen Ping was ruthless, and used two fighting ships in a row to suicidally attack our building ship, using the war ship as a bridge, building a way to kill the building ship, and personally led 800 soldiers to board the ship, wanting to kill the commander of our 10th Division on the building ship.

Although the 3102nd Regiment returned to help and repelled Wenpin's decapitation operation, the division commander was later pierced by an arrow in the shoulder bone.

But the battle was the most intense, he didn't want to shake the morale of the army, and there was no medical treatment, and the military doctor said that if he came half an hour late, his hand would not be saved! ”

"Chen Heng is a good boy of my Great Wu, and he is also a role model for my Flame Army, and he is the first to make the most of this battle!"

He Qi gently opened the curtain of the cabin, and looked at the bearded man lying quietly in the cabin, his eyes slightly red. (To be continued......)
