Chapter 747: Raid on the Port
Xie Baicheng is an ordinary fisherman in Dengzhou, with a fishing boat of 100 materials, a family of three almost takes the boat as their home, rarely goes ashore, and now it is the peak season of fishing, in order to catch more and better fish, they go very far at sea, Xie Baicheng has been begging for a living at sea all his life, knowing that this season, there are very few big winds and waves on the sea, and it is a good time to go to sea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere are a lot of fish in the offshore waters, but there are also many fishing boats, and there are often disputes over the competition for space, and the fish there are relatively common species, so it is difficult to sell them at a good price, so you can only find better fish and sell them at a better price if you go further.
This year's festival, the days are getting more and more difficult, years of war, so that their taxes have almost doubled, this year there is another war tax, and in order to prevent his son from being conscripted, but also up and down, the cost of which is large, if you don't hit some rare fish species, it is difficult to feed those officials.
The son is twenty years old this year, the family is poor, and he can't marry a daughter-in-law, but the most afraid is to be conscripted to be a soldier, although His Royal Highness King Ning has an order not to recruit an only son, but below, those officials and gentlemen in order to complete the conscription task in full, there are these to take care of, and the old Pei family, who fished with him, is also an only son, isn't it going to be a soldier, not long ago, the army came to report bad news, the son of the old Pei family died on the battlefield, and the old Pei and his family committed suicide by hanging themselves that night, and a good home was gone.
sighed, this world really makes the poor have no way to live.
"Dad, this trip is really not in vain!" The son looked at the fish compartment full of all kinds of rare fish, and smiled from ear to ear, "These fish can be sold for at least a few dozen taels of silver when they go ashore." ”
Xie Baicheng sighed: "It's only enough to take care of those old men, hey, as long as you can stay at home safely, silver is nothing." You can also go out this year, if you are lucky enough, you can marry your daughter-in-law into the house, I and your mother asked a matchmaker to tell you the daughter of the Zhang family, you also know, very good. It is a bride price of fifty taels of silver. I think that girl is quite good at running a house, fifty taels is fifty taels! ”
"It's her!" There was a smile on his face, and it seemed that he was indeed familiar with the daughter of the Zhang family.
"Daddy!" The son suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, his mouth opened wide, "So many boats!" ”
Xie Baicheng turned around, and on the sea level, a dense group of ships suddenly appeared, heading towards this side at a very fast speed, "Is it our sailor from Dengzhou who has returned?" The huge general must have won the battle again. "People who have been begging for a living on the water all year round are no strangers to Pang Jun's name.
The ship sailed closer on the sea, Xie Baicheng's face changed greatly, and he saw the military flag fluttering above the opponent's ship.
"It's Dingzhou people, it's Dingzhou people, run, Dingzhou people are coming!" He shouted hoarsely. As he picked up the oars, he shouted, "What are you doing, row quickly, row to the side, don't get in front of them!" ”
Only then did the young man react, and together with Xie Baicheng, he desperately rowed the fishing boat, but compared to the area spread out by the opponent's battleship, and the speed of rowing with their father and son, they couldn't avoid it at all.
"Wife, throw all the fish!" Xie Baicheng roared.
An old woman, pale, threw the fish out of the cabin into the sea desperately, trying to lighten the weight of the boat so that it could row faster.
The attacking fleet is the Dingzhou Yin Ning fleet, Yin Ning led his sailors to detour from the open sea first, all the way to avoid the opponent's sentinels, and then suddenly went straight to Dengzhou, now it seems that the tactics are extremely successful, he has successfully approached Dengzhou, and the other party has not reacted at all.
Standing on the command platform on the top deck of the Dingzhou, Yin Ning ordered: "All ships go straight to Dengzhou Port, destroy the other party's water village, port, and the remaining ships, and the troop carriers rush to the beach to land, and let the cavalry go ashore to strike in depth." ”
No one noticed that there was a very small fishing boat in front of them that was desperately fleeing, and even if someone saw it, it would not change course for the sake of one of the enemy's fishing boats, and once the battleships lined up in an attack formation changed course, it would have a great impact on every ship behind them. It will even make the ships behind it chaotic and collide with themselves.
Xie Baicheng was desperate to see the other party's ship getting closer and closer to him, even the smallest ship of the other party was several times the size of his small fishing boat, he had already seen the faces of the other party's soldiers on the ship that was coming towards him at this time, but in front of him, there was no end in sight.
The tall ship ran straight over, and in an instant, they were completely enveloped by the shadow of the ship, and the family of three gave up the useless struggle and hugged each other crying.
The next moment, the fishing boat no longer existed, and the huge hull of the Dingzhou warship pressed straight past them, and the white foam flew up, and the entire small fishing boat was directly pressed into the water.
At the moment when he was swallowed by the huge waves, Xie Baicheng regretted it very much, maybe let his son become a soldier, and he could still struggle to survive.
No one will be nostalgic for this scene, the soldiers on the warship are busy preparing for battle, only dozens of miles offshore, the next moment, the opponent's remaining ships will inevitably discover their whereabouts, what they have to do now is to speed up, rush to Dengzhou Port as fast as possible, and then completely destroy the opponent who responded in a hurry, and finally directly attack Dengzhou Port.
Ten miles offshore, Dengzhou Port can be vaguely seen at this time, Yin Ning, who is standing on the Dingzhou, can even see a panic in the port, although he can't hear it yet, but it must be a wake-up call at this time, and several three thousand warships parked in the port are raising their sails and slowly turning.
"Accelerate!" Yin Ning gave the order to the signalmen.
The speed of the Dingzhou fleet, with two 5,000 warships and five 3,000 warships as the arrows, increased suddenly, the sea water was deeply plowed open, and the foaming sea water surged outward wave after wave, on their left and right, the first to land and the red horse guard, and behind, followed by Yin Ning's Dingzhou 10,000 material giant ship.
Pang Da is Pang Jun's own nephew, and he has been following Pang Jun for more than ten years, he is a veteran of the Navy, when Pang Jun set off, he was left behind, but also to prevent some water bandits and pirates who did not know the current affairs to pay attention, there were five three thousand warships enough for them to deal with any attack, Pang Da was also very easy, compared to other generals who followed Pang Jun to attack Deng Peng's main fleet, his task was very easy.
When he heard the alarm bell of Dengzhou Port, after coming out of the barracks, he saw the black pressure fleet on the sea in the distance was rushing, and he was a little blinded at the moment, the fleet from Dingzhou from there, could it be that his uncle was defeated on the black water ocean, and the Dingzhou fleet took advantage of the situation to attack? But he immediately rejected the idea, and even if he was defeated, it would be his uncle's fleet that would return.
But where did this Dingzhou fleet come from?
The Dingzhou Yin Ning fleet has always been in Murowei, and has never participated in any battles of the Dingzhou Naval Division, which makes everyone ignore this team, and when the strengthened Yin Ning fleet came on the wind and waves, Pang Da was suddenly at a loss. As they ran all the way to the ship anchored in the harbor, the soldiers in the barracks were also running towards the ship.
Commanding the soldiers who got on board first to raise the sails and lift the anchor, when everything was done, the last soldier rushed to the ship, and the ship slowly went ashore.
Look at the few lonely ships that are weak in their own strength, and then look at the opponents who are attacked by the black pressure on the opposite side, especially the pressure given to him by the giant ship, which makes people feel breathless.
The Southern Army fleet also has a giant ship, and following his uncle who has practiced the combat and defense of the giant ship countless times, Pang Da knows that even if the opponent has no other ships, even if he only relies on that giant ship, it is by no means the opponent of his own three thousand warships.
Glancing back at the port of Dengzhou, Pang Da gritted his teeth and gave the order to evacuate.
Several warships of the Southern Army turned around and fled along the shore base, running to one side, exposing Dengzhou Port to the attack of the opposing fleet.
Yin Ning didn't pay any attention to the few 3,000 warships that escaped, and his target was Dengzhou Port.
The dock was already empty, and the southern army that did not expect Dingzhou to raid Dengzhou was pitifully weak in the defensive force on the pier, although there was also a fortress, but the long-range strike weapons were insufficient, and when the first wave of Dingzhou ships approached the port, several stone bullets weighing dozens of pounds thrown by several trebuchets looked so ridiculous.
Obviously, the soldiers arranged here are not experienced in battle, these stone bullets flew up, unprepared, and all fell into the sea water, and the rain like stone bullets flying from the Dingzhou ship was the first time to accurately hit the place where the stone bullets just flew, destroying the only few trebuchets on the shore one by one.
One attacked the port, but Yin Ning's Dingzhou led the main force to approach the opponent's water village, which was the focus of the opponent's defense, and the troops were obviously more. And the other party's large docks and shipyards are concentrated in this area.
"Shoot!" A smile appeared on Yin Ning's face, so smoothly made him a little unexpected, in his mind, as the base camp of the Southern Army's naval division, this place should have been heavily defended. Like the Fuzhou Port in Dingzhou, there are many long-range weapons on the shore, and it is impossible to get close to him without paying a great price.
The troop transport ship smoothly approached the shore, and the gangplank, which was more than ten meters wide, was pushed off the ship in the shouts of the sailors, and hit the ground, and the neighing of war horses sounded, and the Dingzhou cavalry jumped out of the boat, brandishing war knives and rushed ashore.
At that moment, the few defensive soldiers on the shore were stunned, they saw for the first time that the naval fleet could actually carry cavalry to fight, and when they saw the world-famous Dingzhou iron cavalry swarming in, the only little will to resist also disappeared. With a shout, he threw away his weapon and fled.
Iron hooves clanging, knocking on the stone floor of the port, the cavalry galloping all the way, rushing towards the distant water village and shipyard, as soon as the water village is broken, Dengzhou Port completely loses the only defensive force, and under the attack on both sides, how long can the water village last?
Just as the Dingzhou cavalry launched a full-scale attack, a small cavalry detachment separated from the large group of men and horses and sailed in another direction.
