Liaozhou City, no longer a few months ago prosperity and prosperity, in Shenzhou Zeng Yifan and the Dingzhou army suddenly turned against each other, and Anshun Port also immediately launched a surprise attack on the Dingzhou Navy Division anchored in Anshun Port, caught off guard, a 3,000 warship moored in Anshun Port and dozens of thousands of warships and a large number of transport fleets all fell into the hands of Zeng, the sailors on the ship were captured or killed, only a few lucky crew members escaped this catastrophe.

Before the people of Liaozhou City figured out how they came back, fierce retaliation followed, and Dingzhou's huge sailors attacked overwhelmingly from the sea, stone bullets weighing dozens of catties flew in the sky, and eight bull crossbows flew whistling, and the Dingzhou Sailor Marine Corps forcibly landed several times, and Anshun Port was destroyed in a mess.
What's going on? Aren't we allies with Dingzhou? Why did the fight start in the blink of an eye? The common people don't understand why the big guys turn their faces faster than turning books, but they know that the war is together, and they don't have a good life, the Liaozhou Navy Division is almost equal to nothing, above the sea, the Dingzhou Navy Division unscrupulously sails by, sometimes it is only a mile away from the shore, and shoots a few rounds of eight-bull crossbows towards Liaozhou City, a few stone bullets, and then Shi Shiran leaves.
Liaozhou City has been in this atmosphere of panic, no one knows when the Dingzhou Naval Division will come to attack on a large scale, without the Naval Division, they can only build a fortress on the shore, densely set up long-range weapons to resist the Dingzhou Naval Division, in order to protect Dingzhou City, as for other places outside Liaozhou City, they really can't take care of it, and they can't protect it.
This directly led to a large-scale influx of people from other places to Liaozhou, the city of Dingzhou was overcrowded, prices soared, Zeng could only order the city to be closed, no longer allowed other fleeing people to enter Liaozhou, and the Dingzhou sailors under the order of Deng Peng, consciously drove the coastal people to Liaozhou City.
When they arrived in Liaozhou, the people who could not enter the city could only build some simple tents according to the city, and the entire Liaozhou city fell into a panic. For these people, the Zeng family could not ignore them, and could only grit their teeth and extract a large amount of grain every day and transport it out of the city, so that the victims could spend the day.
The only thing Zeng could pray for was that Li Qing had already been captured and killed on the front line, so that the Dingzhou Sailor might not be entangled here.
But hope often results in disappointment, and the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and even despair. Although Li Qing was surrounded in Baimadu, the attack on Baimadu was repeatedly frustrated, and now more than ten days have passed, and there is still no progress. And the coastal line of Liaozhou has been destroyed to the point that it is not what it looks like.
On the high guard tower of Anshun Port, the watchful soldier stood up slowly, lifted the gong at his feet, and shouted weakly while striking: "The people of Dingzhou are here again, ready to meet the enemy!" "These days, almost every three or five days, the Dingzhou sailors have to come to harass, and now the sea outside Anshun Port has almost become the other party's back yard, but fortunately, there are only three or five boats each time, and the intensity of the attack is not great. The opposing marines never went ashore again to conduct a surprise attack. This made the Zeng soldiers slowly have a kind of slackness mentality, anyway, you can't go ashore, and Lao Tzu can't go to the sea, across the wide sea, everyone shoots a few stone bullets, and shoots a few eight-bull crossbows at each other, which means good.
The soldiers slowly walked to the fortress to the sound of weak gongs and began to prepare various long-range weapons.
After the soldiers on the watchtower struck the alarm gong for a while, they were about to put down the gong and sleep well, when their eyes suddenly widened, no, there was something abnormal today, and there seemed to be more ships on the other side.
He lay on the watchtower, his eyes widened, on the sea level, one, two, three, slowly, his mouth opened into an O-shape, there were more than a dozen three thousand warships in front of him, but on the sea level, there were still one after another larger ships showing a hideous figure, as for the thousands of boats with positive and negative ones, at this time, he had lost count, on the sea level, overwhelming, full of sailor warships raising the flag of Dingzhou.
After a fierce fight, he jerked up the gong that was thrown at his feet, and struck it quickly and sharply on the spot, "Enemy attack, enemy attack, many warships." ”
In fact, there is no need for him to remind at this time, in the fortress, the garrison along the coast has seen a large number of warships rushing towards this side, this is not a harassment, but a large-scale attack, seeing the scale of the enemy ships, the defenders on the shore immediately understand that they will face a bitter battle today.
"What do you say? The whole army of the Dingzhou Navy Division is attacking? "Liaozhou Marshal's Mansion, Zeng Qingfeng, whose condition has improved slightly, is dealing with a mountain of government affairs, and Zeng Miao, the general in charge of coastal defense, hurriedly ran over.
"Yes, Dashuai, there are now as many as 100 enemy ships that have appeared on the sea, including nearly 50 3,000 warships, and more than 10 5,000 warships.
"Let's go, let's see!" Zeng Qingfeng didn't care about the fact that his body had not healed, and dragged his heavy footsteps to the city wall of Liaozhou and walked towards the water village of Anshun Port.
On the sea about five miles from the coast of Liaozhou City, the big ships have already dropped anchor, waiting for the order to attack, while the small boats under the expectation are shuttling back and forth, unscrupulously sailing into the water wall of Anshun Port not far from the city wall.
When Zeng Qingfeng panted and boarded the wall of the water wall, the scene in front of him made him speechless in shock, dense ships covered the entire sea, and one of them was a super ship he had never seen before, and the five thousand warships around him were like a small toy ship under his huge figure.
Zeng Qingfeng snorted, his eyes were black, and he almost fainted, Dingzhou actually built a sea giant like a big ship.
Deng Peng was standing on the bridge of this giant ship at this time, looking at Liaozhou City not far away, although the purpose of today's attack is not to conquer Liaozhou City, but also to give Liaozhou people a hard lesson, the naval division and land combat strength is insufficient, although it can give Liaozhou a heavy blow, but it is impossible to completely take him, although the current naval division and marine corps has expanded to 10,000 people, but the comprehensive combat strength is probably not as good as the previous 5,000 people.
"The fleet was ready to shoot, and after three rounds of rapid fire, the marines rushed to the beach. Three thousand warships approached to cover! Deng Peng gave the order.
"Yes!" Zheng Zhiqiang of the Marine Division excitedly took the order and left.
"General Zheng!" Deng Peng's gaze turned to Zheng Zhiyuan beside him.
"The last general!" Zheng Zhiyuan bowed.
"The real purpose of our attack this time is to pick up the marshal safely from the city of Liaozhou, after the landing of the marines of the navy, you lead a small detachment up the river for thirty miles, there is a small port, which can allow thousands of warships to dock, the port is backed by the mountains, the road is relatively steep, and it is not suitable for a large group of men and horses to land and fight, so only hundreds of Zeng's troops are stationed, and after taking this port, the marshal will board your ship there and bring the marshal back safely, you are the first hero of this campaign.
"The last general obeys!"
"In order not to attract the attention of the enemy, you can only bring a few ships with you, but I will equip you with the best sailors, the most skilled marines, and strive to strike a blow and fight quickly, and if it drags on for a long time, the consequences will be difficult to predict. General Lee will go with you. As soon as Deng Peng's voice landed, a person flashed behind him, hugging his fist towards Zheng Zhiyuan and saying, "There is General Lao Zheng!" ”
Zheng Zhiyuan returned the salute, but he didn't know the person in front of him, and when he was confused, Deng Peng introduced: "This General Li is the person next to the marshal." ”
Zheng Zhiyuan suddenly realized, he had long heard that there were a group of shadow guards with extremely high kung fu around the marshal, and it seemed that this General Li was one of them.
The first stone projectile was fired from the warship, which was equipped with a trebuchet tailor-made for him, the range was almost comparable to that of the trebuchet used on land, and only this kind of large ship could be equipped with such a huge weapon, the soldiers shouted to lift a stone bullet weighing dozens of pounds onto the trebuchet, twisted the cable, shouted, released the buckle, the huge arm of the trebuchet was raised high, and the stone bullet broke out of the air with a whistling sound.
On the shore defense line, the soldier on the watchtower was extremely unlucky, this random aiming stone bullet actually flew towards his watchtower, watching the huge stone in the pupil getting bigger and bigger, in the smashed into the flesh or falling into the flesh, the soldier made a difficult choice, howling and jumping down from the high watchtower, with a terrible scream, accompanied by the loud sound of the stone bullet hitting the watchtower, like a ball slammed on the ground, bounced up, and fell down again, Hands and feet flicked a few times, and a life whimpered.
With the launch of this stone projectile, the trebuchet on the 5,000-material warship also began to start, and then the approaching 3,000-material warship began to shoot, and on the sea, it was suddenly covered with large and small, polished round stone projectiles flying, and on the shore, a fierce counterattack also began.
At the beginning, Dingzhou had provided a large number of weapons to the Zeng clan, and now they finally played an important role, at least in terms of range, the shore did not suffer at all, and the three thousand warships were completely within their range.
The thousands of warships of the Marine Corps of the Marine Corps were shooting towards the shore like arrows, Zheng Zhiqiang held the knife, half-squatted on the bow of the first warship, and kept urging: "Hurry up, hurry up." Rush ashore and kill them all! ”
From time to time, transport ships were hit by stone bullets and sank to the bottom of the sea, but many more warships flew above the surface and quickly approached the shore.
The hull of the ship shook and stopped suddenly, Zheng Zhiqiang knew that it was impossible for the warship to move forward, so he jumped off the bow of the ship, stood waist-deep in the water, and shouted: "Brothers, rush! ”
By this time, they could clearly see the face of the enemy behind the first line of defense on the shore. When the ship ran aground, the sailors on board jumped up, quickly set up their scorpion cannons, or wielded bows and arrows, and began to cover the landing of the marines.
