Chapter 773: North Korea: Another Village of Bloody Rain
Chapter 773 North Korea: Bloody Rain and Bloody Wind Another Village
On the surface of the sea in Busan, the sea of broken wood floating, and the clouds of smoke covered the sky, and the "Second Battle of Busan" on 16 March was far more fierce than the "First Battle of Busan."
It was discovered that it was still an armed merchant fleet, and the number was about the same as last time, whether it was Nian Bin, who led the Shandong Naval Division, or Li Taishen, who led the Korean Naval Division, they all felt that they could repeat a brilliant victory. It was only out of necessary cover that Nian Bin's fleet was still like the first Battle of Busan, and it was no longer full of the flag of the Qingshui Division, but only the flag of the deputy commander of the North Korean Sandao Naval Division exclusive to Nian Bin.
But as soon as the two sides first came into contact off the coast of Busan, Nian Bin secretly shouted that it was not good-Fan Sihai's fleet turned out to be mostly soft sailing ships......
Nian Bin was cleaned up by the British North Ocean Fleet in Jiangnan, and at that time he led the Jiangnan Navy Division to meet Xibao's Xishan Camp Manchu Barracks, and he had a deep impression in his mind that "if there is a soft sail, it will not be able to fight with it".
Looking at Li Taishen's fleet rushing straight up, Nian Bin beckoned his warship to lower the sails and turn the rudder, and seemed to pounce on the side of the enemy fleet, but in fact began to prepare to retreat in circles.
"Leeβ"
On the boat of the commander of the three naval divisions of the DPRK, Li Taishen stood upright on the platform, drew his sword and shouted.
"Shun - ββ! Chen"
The subordinates responded with enthusiastic cheers, and about 30 warships of 400 to 800 materials scattered in the shape of plum blossoms, and rushed straight into the enemy fleet that was advancing in two columns.
In terms of average quality, the Korean naval division was not weaker than the Manchurian water division, and the naval warfare experience of the Imjin Rebellion was very sufficient. Although the shape is different, the principle of the plum blossom battle formation of group battles is very clear.
Li Taishen also regretted that Fan Sihai, the sea coward, had made a comeback too quickly, and the turtle boat that was being built was far from complete. Driving a turtle ship, crashing into the enemy line, one by one the enemy ships sank to the bottom of the sea, and he Lee Tae-sin would become the second of the genuine Yi Sunsin.
The warmth in his heart rippled, and his subordinates reported that Fang Nianbin's fleet was moving differently, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it
There is no way to pay attention to it, Nian Bin is nominally the deputy envoy, but he does not obey his dispatch at all, if he is not familiar with the sea conditions, he will probably be dispatched by Nian Bin. Who let the leader of the council, his brother Li Guangzuo want to use Nian Qianyao to deal with these pirates, in fact, it is enough to rely on the Koreans themselves.
The fierce sound of the cannon dispelled the warmth of Li Taishen, and when the vanguard ship was wrapped in a column of water that was much thicker than the previous naval battle, a chill rose in his heart.
For the Korean naval division, they had already seen the power of Anglo-Chinese artillery in the first naval battle, and they were victorious by relying on the Japanese rebellion, and they all said that they were lucky. The experience of being bombarded when they are close to 100 zhang is still very new to them. Fortunately, it's only a hundred feet, and the accuracy is still very poor.
But now, why is the cannon being fired more than a hundred feet away? Is it still so accurate? The water column is so thick, and the artillery seems to be much fiercer than last time?
Of course, the North Korean sailors headed by Li Taishen did not know that most of Fan Sihai's fleet last time was serious merchant ships running goods, and the gunners were basically temporary workers. And this time it was different, there were a large number of twelve-pound guns, and the gunners were professionals of the two-ocean fleet.
Like a thick and straight stick, Fan Sihai's fleet savagely stabbed into the formation of the Korean sailors, and the warships that rushed in spit fireworks in an orderly manner, blasting the Korean warships between 100 and 200 zhang to the point that the masts of the ships were toppled and the planks of the ships cracked. Looking down from mid-air, the Fresh United Sailor, who was originally gathered into a large battle array, was stabbed by this, and soon split into two small formations, just like the male root double pill that was tearing and flying.
Ichimaru was turning the rudder and heading towards the outside of the battlefield, it was a bad opportunity-, the Nian Bin fleet that made a quick decision, Li Taishen's vision was obscured by cannon smoke and water columns, not only did he not see Nian Bin's movements, but even the surrounding warships could not see clearly. β¦,
"Rush forward!"
Wielding his long sword, he drove the boat to the nearest Haiao ship, and the old red-coat cannon in the bow of the ship made a crisp and empty sound, creating a clear crack in the board of the opposing warship, and the cannonball weakly smashed a wave on the water.
Then more than a dozen artillery pieces roared, like a white epiphany suddenly blooming, and Li Taishen's vision was immediately obscured by raindrops of broken wood and debris, and there seemed to be a cold wind passing by his side.
The hull of the ship shook violently, he subconsciously reached out to support the railing of the platform, touched the air with one hand, no, he wanted to touch it but his empty hand, fell on the deck, and saw that his left arm was only a small bare upper arm, the white bones were exposed in the air, and the blood was spurting, and Li Taishen let out a terrible howl.
Most of the buildings on the deck of the boat were shoveled away by this round of artillery, and the North Korean officers and soldiers who were still alive were holding their heads and screaming.
"It's really damn relieved......"
On the deck of the flagship gun of the Fuhua Company's fleet, Fan Liuxi exhaled happily.
"It's really damn boring, the hard sailboat stays!"
Luo Wugui on the helm platform put down the binoculars, and felt very unhappy, this enemy has no professionalism at all, resist more, and scream more. The battle line only cleared the field once, and seven or eight ships were destroyed, and the Koreans were in dire straits, and the Shandong naval division slipped away before the battle began.
The Koreans are still second, Fan Sihai and Luo Wugui and others hate the Japanese first, and the second hate Nian Bin. The Japanese have already made arrangements, the Koreans are too weak, and all the anger is gathered on Nian Bin.
"Other ships, chase!"
Luo Wugui gave an order, and the soft sail battleship turned out of the battle line and pursued towards the Nian Bin sailor in the distance.
How could Da Qingtou run past the sea carp ship, and after a short time, Nian Bin's sailor was embellished, and he had to use the golden cicada shelling trick again and again, Nian Bin was able to get rid of the pursuit, rushed ashore, and rushed into the depths of the interior.
"It must be the Nanban Marine! Pretending to be a merchant ship, invading other countries, bastards, scoundrels, and liars......"
Nian Bin complained hatefully, and there were pieces of ice slag in his heart, it was over, the dream of the North Korean crow film general merchant was over.
The subordinates comforted: "The eldest prince, North Korea can't grab it, but the north can sell it." β
Nian Bin, who had become a soup chicken physically and mentally, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to shake his head and sell it to Shandong Zhili? The father will not allow it. But then he tasted it again, and the light gradually rose in his eyes.
Even if you only earn one or two taels of silver a catty, this is what a huge profit, my father is suffering from the barrenness of Shandong, and there is not enough money and food, as long as he does not cause harm in Shandong and sells it to Zhili, it will be much more profitable than North Korea.
Another subordinate said: "Don't think about it, we don't have Fushou ointment." Nian Bin said in a deep voice: "Shut up! This kind of thing can be discussed casually!
drank his subordinates, but Nian Bin said in his heart, what happened without Fushou ointment? Japanese people can sell! The Japanese are unreliable, so they can't plant in North Korea and Shandong? There are already poppies in the north, as long as you get a recipe to boil, hum......
The fleet was almost lost, but with such a clear idea, Nian Bin was no longer half frustrated, he couldn't beat Fan Sihai in the battlefield of blood and fire, but the crow film was another battlefield. As for his father's explanation about North Korea, although he was unlucky, the North Korean sailors were finished, and Li Guangzuo was also unlucky, but it was a great opportunity, and it depended on whether Zuo Weisheng, who was in Seoul, could seize the opportunity.
"The Three Sailors are destroyed!? Lee Tae-sin lost his arm and retreated to Busan, and the Haikou was cleaning up the coastal forts everywhere!? β
In Jingdeok Palace, Li showed his true feelings in front of Li Guangzuo for the first time, shock, fear, anger, all kinds of emotions were wrapped together, and they were all wiped on his face. And the gaze that forced Li Guangzuo was more like a steel knife, as if he was going to split Li Guangzuo in two. β¦,
The reason why he was willing to be supported by Li Guangzuo, and even tolerated Nian Qianyao's sailors entering the Korean seas, was that he had the ambition to get rid of the Qing Dynasty and establish himself as the emperor. The risks he had to take for this were all he expected.
Unexpectedly, first the crows entered North Korea, and then the Anglo-Chinese "sea bandits" entered the chaos. The first time was to run away, and now it's coming back and sweeping away the three water divisions! Thirty warships were damaged, 2,000 officers and men were killed and wounded, hundreds were captured, and Li Taishen was seriously wounded by the command of the Sandao Naval Division.
The "Haikou" also said through the released prisoners that soon after, an Anglo-Chinese angel came to the DPRK to inquire about the crime and investigate the crime of colluding with Nian Qianyao to loot the goods of merchants. He was looking forward to the arrival of the Yinghua envoy, but it was never at this time, and it was never so intentional.
He was subconsciously angry with Yinghua and deceived people too much, and the Celestial Empire allowed businessmen to sell crow pieces into North Korea! But then he felt that this must not be Yinghua's fault, and it was not the intention of the Holy Dao Emperor. It's all Lee Kwang-zuo's fault, and these things only appeared after Lee Kwang-sak came to power......
"What are you going to do now?"
Li hated Li Guangzuo and asked sarcastically. When you went to Jeolla Province, didn't you say that you would be captured? When you recommended your clan brother to be the commander of the three sailors, didn't you mean that Li Sunsin was the second, and he would never allow the pirates to invade and plunder? When you introduced the Nian Qianyao Sailor into the country, didn't you say that there would be no trouble? How many of the things you promised have been accomplished?
Li Guangzuo was bombed in Suncheon, injured his lungs, his body was very weak, and his voice seemed extremely empty: "It's just that the Haikou is in turmoil, and you can't go ashore, don't worry about it." β
Peng's voice, Li smashed the small case and stood up: "Don't worry!?" The angel is coming, what are you going to do? How will I explain North Korea!? You say! β
For a moment, Li directly called out the word "angel", Li Guangzuo raised his eyebrows and scattered, and then lowered his head to ask for guilt.
After giving Li Guangzuo a beating, Li did not take charge of government affairs, so Li Guangzuo could only arrange countermeasures by himself.
Back in the dormitory, Li felt that his life was like a year, and he wanted to make a move, the Manchu Dynasty had been controlled by Li Guangzuo, and he didn't dare to trust others, so he secretly recruited Huang Yuan, and asked him to inquire about Li Guangzuo's behavior outside.
The next day, Huang Yuanhui reported: "King, after Li Guangzuo left the palace yesterday, he went straight to Shang Yuanjun's residence. β
