Chapter 754: Meeting at Sea
Zhong Xiang had a smooth ride in the first half of his life, but since he met the Dingzhou army, he began to be unlucky, and it was unlucky, coincidentally, he had a few times in front of the Dingzhou army, and they were all in the same place, Lianshan Island. For the first time, it was designed by Zheng Zhiyuan, the little-known general of the Dingzhou Naval Division, and the Bozhou Naval Division was annihilated, only to be spared, this time, the commander of the army came, thinking of revenge, but since the start of the war to today, in addition to the large army finally landing on land, Lianshan Island is still in the hands of the other party, and the intensity of resistance has not decreased at all. Moreover, the opponent had somehow defeated the 5th Battalion of the Naval Division, and even two 5,000-odd warships had been taken away, and this fleet had been wandering ghostly behind him all day, so that he had to sleep with one eye open.
The fifth battalion learned from the past, Zhong Xiang strictly ordered his generals to only expel this fleet, and definitely not to chase it deeply, anyway, it seems that this fleet is impossible to attack itself head-on. As long as they gnaw on the hard bone in front of them, they will become the source of no roots, and there is no second way to go except to run away with their tails between their legs.
Huo Qi, Mu Chao's two marine battalions are now more than half of the casualties, and they are full of resentment in the face of Zhong Xiang's attack order, and Hu Bin's troops, who had high hopes for sneaking into the island, saw Hu Bin's body hanging high on the island within a few days, which seriously frustrated the morale of the entire army.
Zhong Xiang could only draw manpower from the sailors and integrate them into Muqi, and Huo Chao's marine battalion participated in the attack on the island.
At this time, Zhong Xiang didn't know that on the Heishui Ocean, Deng Peng and Pang Jun's two naval divisions had a vicious battle in the storm, which ended in a defeat for both sides, and a large number of ships on both sides were either sunk or capsized by a typhoon after nightfall that day.
At dawn, the wreckage of ships sunk or shattered by wind and waves and the corpses of soldiers drifted along the sea for hundreds of miles. Appalling.
Deng Peng, who returned to the division of the whole army, was very happy in his heart, even if his fleet also suffered serious losses, now this fleet is more than half damaged, and Qiyuan and Kaitai are also scarred, especially Qiyuan, in the fight with the opponent Ningzhou, the bow of the ship to Ningzhou itself rammed, it is no longer a shape. But they can afford to lose, and Pang Jun is different, they no longer have the Dengzhou shipyard, and from now on, the problem of replenishing ships will greatly trouble them. Sea vessels are different from inland waterway vessels in that not everyone can build them.
What Deng Peng didn't know was that on that night, the giant ship Ningzhou, which had been consistently attacked by the Dingzhou Army during the war, was extremely damaged.
capsized in the ensuing wind and waves, the only two huge ships of the Southern Army's naval division have already lost one, if Deng Peng knows the news now, he will definitely not be able to stop himself from singing loudly on the ship.
Rectify the army, pay tribute to the fallen soldiers, and then wave the division back, now, it is time to return to Dingzhou.
Zhong Xiang didn't know that a huge danger was approaching him, and after Yin Ning's naval division attacked Dengzhou Port, he did not attack Bozhou as originally planned, but waved his army straight up, and after beating Anshun Port to a pulp, the whole division went straight to Lianshan Island.
At this time, the fast boat sent by King Ning to convey the order to Zhong Xiang was only half a day's ahead of Yin Ning's sailors.
Black Eagle is very depressed, the pleasure of the fifth battalion of the naval division of the Southern Army has long been worn out in these days, originally with wishful thinking, can contain a part of the enemy naval army to chase after him, which can also reduce the pressure on Lianshan Island, but the other party simply ignored himself, in addition to preventing himself from launching a surprise attack, he let himself wander around the periphery, they are concentrating half of their strength to attack Lianshan Island, seeing that the war on the island is raging, and the sound of killing is shocking, but they can't help at all, and they are annoyed, I couldn't help but be very worried, seeing that the southern army had already gained a foothold on the island and was approaching the island step by step, Lianshan Island could not be lost.
There was a loud eagle chirping in the air, and the black eagle raised his head, watched the eagle he was raising glide from the air and rushed down, and quickly stretched out his arm to stop it on his shoulder.
The eagle looked back at the sea, kept chirping, and spread its wings from the black eagle's arm again and again, but circled in the air and fell again, and the black eagle couldn't help but change color on his face, which was telling him that above the sea, the fleet had been found again.
All at once, Black Hawk quickly ordered his fleet to sail in the direction the eagle was pointing, and it would be terrible if it was enemy reinforcements.
Hurriedly wrote down this situation on a piece of paper, tied to the eagle's talons, pointed to Lianshan Island with his finger, shook his arm, threw the eagle out, and watched the eagle spread its wings and fly to Lianshan Island, Black Eagle then reined in his thoughts, damn, if it was an enemy army, he would really have to escape this time.
After half a day's voyage, in front of the Black Hawk fleet, a ship suddenly appeared, and while the Black Hawk was in good spirits, he couldn't help but be puzzled, didn't the Big Eagle tell himself that there was a whole fleet, why was it just a lonely one? Could it be that this is the other party's sentinel ship, but when you look around, there is no shadow of a ship on the sea, and no sentinel ship will be so far away from the brigade?
Without Black Hawk's order, several small ships had already sailed out and outflanked the ships on the opposite side, and at this time the two sides were closer, and they were indeed ships of the Southern Army. The Confederate flag fluttering above has already told Black Hawk.
The southern warship turned around and fled, but they set off from Ningzhou, and they were already exhausted after more than ten days of sailing, and there was the opponent of the Dingzhou sailors who were recuperated and had sufficient physical strength and nowhere to vent, but with a pillar of incense, this southern warship was surrounded by three Dingzhou ships, and the dense bows and arrows on the side of the ship, revealing the hideous stone cannons, were all aimed at the little sheep who fell into the tiger's mouth.
A moment later, Black Hawk led a large number of warships to arrive, and the desperate Southern warships also raised the white flag at this moment.
"Board the ship! A school officer gave an order, and the figures on the Dingzhou boat that was slowly approaching the other party jumped up and jumped onto the opposite ship.
"Who are you? What is the role in the Yugoslav Army? What's the matter with rushing to Lianshan Island? Black Hawk stared at a Confederate officer who was escorted in front of him, who was not wearing a navy uniform.
Forced to his knees on the ground, the officer's face turned pale, "General, the villain is an officer of the Ningzhou City Guard, who was ordered to go to Lianshan Island to convey orders to General Zhong Xiang."
"What order? "Black Hawk's eyes lit up, and by coincidence, he actually caught a big fish.
"Your Highness asked General Zhong Xiang to withdraw his troops immediately! "
"Oh? "Black Eagle is overjoyed, Xindao knew this for a long time, and Lao Tzu let you go, "Why did you let Zhong Xiang withdraw his troops?" "
"Dingzhou Navy Division raided Dengzhou and other places, the entire Dengzhou has almost been broken, His Royal Highness King Ning is worried that the opponent will attack Ningzhou at any time, and on the southern coast, our army has almost no water division to defend, so we have to withdraw to Zhong Xiang's department."
Black Eagle was shocked, Dingzhou Water Division, where did a Dingzhou Water Division come from?
"Which Dingzhou sailor attacked Dengzhou? "
"General Hui, it's Yin Ning's water division, the main general Yin Ning! "
Black Eagle is not familiar with Yin Ning, he has returned to Shundingzhou as one of the sailors, and has never returned to Dingzhou, but stayed on Lianshan Island. But he knew that Dingzhou still had a naval division as a mobile force at this time, so the victory of this war would almost be nine out of ten.
"The lord is a good means, there is such a trump card hidden in his hand, not to mention the opponent, even us, can almost be hidden." Black Eagle was overjoyed.
"General Yuan, discover the fleet, discover the massive fleet! A school officer rushed in, almost shouting to Black Hawk.
The Black Hawk jumped up and rushed to the top of the ship, and on the horizon, a large number of black dots appeared, which were rapidly moving this way, and one of the black dots was particularly large, compared to which some of the other black dots were simply negligible.
"Ten thousand ships! Black Hawk muttered.
"Get ready to fight! Black Hawk shouted."The whole division turned left and headed for Lantau Island!" "
The black eagle looked nervously at the opposite side, and sure enough, the other party also spotted them, and from those black spots, more than a dozen black spots were separated, and they galloped towards them.
Black Eagle didn't dare to run to Lianshan Island, which would expose him to the enemy, so he could only retreat to Lantau Island, which was closest to him, where the hydrogeography was more complicated and more favorable to him. He was turning left, but his opponent was able to accelerate straight and the distance between the two sides was quickly close.
Above Diao Dou, suddenly there was an extremely loud cheer from the signal soldiers."General, general, it's our own fleet, our own fleet!" Dingzhou military flag, I saw the Dingzhou military flag! "
Black Hawk shook his head desperately and rubbed his eyes, "Did you see clearly?" "
"See clearly! "
"Wave the signal flag and ask who the other party is? "
After a period of chaos, Black Eagle finally confirmed that the other party was Yin Ningshuishi, who had rushed to attack Zhongxiang on Lianshan Island, and a pounding heart finally calmed down.
The two fleets approached slowly on the sea, and on top of the ships, all the soldiers poured onto the deck, waving their weapons and flags, shouting and jumping, and greeting each other.
Black Eagle was also excited to step on the huge hull of the Dingzhou, and as soon as he stepped onto the deck, he saw a familiar figure, wasn't that Director Qingfeng, why was she here? When I think of the time when Qingfeng was on Lianshan Island, I was worse than dead? However, the carrier pigeon cultivated by himself is now very popular in the Dingzhou army, and for this, the lord has made a great contribution to himself.
"I've seen Miss! Black Hawk took a few big strides and scurried in front of the breeze.
"It's Black Hawk, what a coincidence! The breeze still wrapped around his face smiled slightly.
"Miss, the last general knows that there is a large fleet coming at sea, and I don't know whether it is friend or foe, so I came to find out the truth, but I didn't expect it to be my own family."
"Your eagle told you again? Qingfeng smiled.
"Yes, Miss! "
Qingfeng looked back at an old man sitting on a chair beside him and said: "Dean Li, this is the Black Eagle I mentioned to you, and the carrier pigeon used in our Supervision Institute is the first generation of the carrier pigeon that he bred, and trained a large number of carrier pigeon training talents for us, General Yuan Gang, nicknamed Black Eagle, but everyone is used to calling him Black Eagle. Black Eagle, this is Dean Li Zonghua Li."
"I've seen Dean Li! "
"This is General Yin Ning."
"I've seen General Yin! "One by one, the black eagles came forward to pay their respects.
