In the second year of the Apocalypse, this year was definitely a difficult day for Jiannu, on the one hand, the Ming army of Liaodong Town commanded by Sun Chengzong built a tight defense line on the front line of Guangning, so that the wild boar skin could not find any opportunity to plunder. On the other hand, production was still harassed by a large number of guerrillas.

This kind of harassment has been going on for a long time. The production activities of the upper and lower Jiannu have been greatly hindered, but fortunately, the wild boar skin still has some family background. By sacking various towns on the Liaodong Plain and massacring the Han people in the countryside, wild boar skins obtained a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, food and other materials. These things can be eaten for a long time in the warehouse. In addition, there are Jin merchants who can transport materials with them, and they can still hold on in a few years.

Now the wild boar skin is trying to find a way to find a breakthrough, as long as it breaks through the strict defense of the Ming army and finds another opportunity to plunder, it can be maintained.

After all, it is a gang of robbers, what is the idea of loyalty, what kind of loyalty is a bit nonsense, those Jiannu are willing to follow him, but they can rob together, and they can get it for nothing. As long as a few years cannot open up the situation and find an opportunity to plunder, people's hearts will naturally disperse, and then it is not a question of whether there is enough food, but whether those people are willing to continue to live like this with wild boar skins.

If you want to plunder the Ming Dynasty from the front, you must eliminate the Ming army in Jinzhou and Dongjiang towns, otherwise the Ming army in these two places will jump out like a-stirring stick every time, so that the wild boar skin will not be able to devote most of its strength to attack Quang Ninh.

After half a year of hard work, the wild boar skin still relatively smoothly created a water division in Zhenjiang. The ships of this sailor are nearly five hundred, and they can scare people to death when they say it. However, most of the five hundred ships were very small boats. Many of them are not exaggerated to call them small sampans.

Really got some countertops. That is, more than 100 ships with many materials. Converted to tonnage, it is about 250 or so.

Wild boar skin handed over this sailor to his son-in-law Li Yongfang to lead, Li Yongfang was also very attentive, and continued to practice this sailor in Zhenjiang day and night, which was highly expected by his father-in-law.

After several months of training, the wild boar skin could no longer bear it, so it went to Zhenjiang for inspection.

"Yongfang, how is the sailor's training?" Wild boar skin asked Li Yongfang. Li Yongfang replied with confidence: "Qi Yu sweats, the sailor has almost been trained. It's already ready for a fight. Also ask the Great Khan to go and inspect it. ”

"Okay, Ben Khan will go and see." The wild boar skin had a happy look on his face, and he couldn't wait to go to the beach to inspect the sailors. Li Yongfang hurriedly hugged the wild boar skin and came to the Zhenjiang seaside, that is, the Yalu River estuary, where a group of more than 8,000 Jiannu sailors was already waiting solemnly.

With the sound of the horn, a group of sailors quickly boarded the boats, and then performed a naval battle skill in front of the wild boar skins. It's archery again, and it's gunwale. It was not lively for a while, but it looked neat and orderly.

Drills!

Naturally, this is the case.

But the boar skin is a layman. has been running horses on land all his life, and his eyes are basically dark on the sailor, so he can only follow his feelings. Seeing that the sailor was quite walking, he was immediately overjoyed. Li Yongfang saw that his father-in-law was happy, and then said: "Qi Great Khan, the Ming army also has a water division in Denglai, which was compiled and trained by Yuan Keli, the water master of Denglai. But Yuan Keli's sailors only had more than 5,000 people. And we have more than 8,000 men, and when we meet at sea, we have the complete upper hand in terms of troops. And you also know that most of the soldiers of the Ming army were too weak to fight. Now our Dajin warriors can run horses on land and fight at sea, and now they have overcome seasickness and other problems, and the Ming army sailors are not our opponents at all. ”

"Okay, okay." The wild boar skin was overjoyed, and his eyes when he looked at Li Yongfang suddenly softened a lot, he was really a talent! How wise he is to recruit such a talented son-in-law! Just thinking about it, I began to worship myself, and I didn't want to be proud in my heart.

The wild boar skin was happy, and Li Yongfang was also happy, obviously this time he did not perform badly, and he saved a little bit of his declining status.

"Since we have been able to fight with the Ming Naval Division, then immediately look for the Ming Naval Division to fight, and then cut off the sea supplies from Dongjiang Town and Jinzhou Town as soon as possible." The wild boar skin was happy, and decided with a casual tap of his brain. Li Yongfang was also full of confidence, and knelt on the ground with great ambition, "If you obey the order, you will live up to the expectations of the Great Khan." ”

"Haha, haha!" The boar skin laughed heartily, and his mood was extremely comfortable. In the happy mood of the wild boar skin, Li Yongfang soon began to plan against the Dongjiang Army and the Jinzhou Army, as well as the Denglai Naval Division.

In mid-May of this year, Li Yongfang's sailors began to intercept Ming ships everywhere in the Bohai Bay area, and Li Yongfang really plundered five or six merchant ships, and the Ming ships were soon greatly reduced in the area.

is mainly a Denglai water master, who was transferred to suppress the Wenxiang Sect.

After the Wenxiang Sect was suppressed, Yuan Keli received the news and hurriedly transferred the Denglai sailors back to Denglai, and then boarded the ship to continue to escort the merchant ships.

The confrontation between the two sides at sea soon began one after another, and the result was ...... The sailor of the wild boar skin is simply a failure.

The difference in tonnage between the two sides is there, and although there are many small boats in the Denglai Marine, those small boats are all for special purposes. The main warships have now been replaced by more than 500 tons. A naval gun was installed in the bow and stern of the ship. The sailors of the wild boar skin who came out to plunder the merchant ships, and the escort warships of the Denglai sailors, were simply played to death.

In long-range strikes, the boar skin is only inferior in archery. And the Denglai Naval Division had artillery, as well as muskets. The broadside battle was also completely intimidating, the ships of the Jiannu Sailor Division were too small, and once the broadside battle broke out, the number of combatants would be inferior to the wild boar skin.

The sailors of the Denglai Naval Division are all well-equipped, and they are of the same grade as the Beijing battalion. The pikemen poked a few times in front, and Jiannu couldn't stand it.

Such a sea encounter is simply like torture and killing.

In less than half a month, the Jiannu Naval Division lost thousands of troops and more than a dozen warships. At this time, Li Yongfang couldn't sit still, feeling that such a small-scale encounter at sea would not be able to take advantage of the Jiannu sailors at all. There is no way to give full play to the superiority in troops. It must be centralized. Look for an opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Denglai Naval Division. It would be even better if you could grab some ships.

With this idea, Li Yongfang dispatched the main force of the sailor on the sixth day of June of this year to Guanglu Island to seek a decisive battle with the Denglai sailor.

Hiroshima Island is a military base that the Denglai Navy Division has just selected to defend against the Jiannu Navy Division. This base has not yet been completely built.

At this time, the Jiannu Sailor took the initiative to come over to seek a decisive battle, which made the Denglai Sailor feel stunned at the same time. I was overjoyed.

Sun Yiguo, the commander-in-chief of the Denglai Naval Division, immediately decided to face the battle. Hundreds of warships of the Denglai Naval Division sailed out of the Hiroshima Military Port one after another, and were far away from the Jiannu Naval Division at sea.

The boats of both sides had begun to make contact and were attacking each other.

Sun Yiguo picked up the binoculars and carefully observed the situation of the Jiannu Water Division.

"Jiannu boats are the majority, and they have to maintain a dense formation, if they rush to close combat with them, although they don't suffer too much, the casualties will inevitably be not small, and they can be broken by fire." Sun Yiguo is very experienced in sailors. When Sun Yiguo was young, he fought naval battles against the Japanese at sea. It was a sailor talent cultivated by the anti-Japanese time, and Yuan Keli became the governor of Denglai. He appointed him as the chief soldier of the Naval Division. Sun Yiguo observed it and quickly determined the tactics.

On Li Yongfang's side, after discovering the main force of the Denglai Naval Division, he immediately waved his hand and ordered the whole army to accelerate forward and engage in a broadside battle with the Denglai Naval Division.

But Li Yongfang didn't find it at all, he thought too simply, or he didn't have any experience in naval warfare at all, and fought naval battles as land battles, thinking that as long as the soldiers overcame the problems of seasickness and broadside battles, they could sweep the Denglai Navy Division with their superiority in strength.

Soon, Denglai Sailor vividly taught Li Yongfang a lesson: naval warfare is not so simple.

The Jiannu sailor continued to move forward, but as a result, the Denglai sailor seemed to be frightened and 'scattered' on the spot, which made Li Yongfang overjoyed. Standing on the bow of the boat, he laughed and shouted: "The Ming army has been scattered, and we will eat them one by one." ”

But at this time, the retreating main warships of the Ming army opened fire.

The cannonballs hit mercilessly, and the dense Jiannu sailors were simply huge targets, and these shells smashed on those small boats, and the boats disintegrated on the spot, and the Jiannu soldiers on them suffered heavy casualties. smashed on those big ships, it was directly a flurry of rice crumbs, but the ability to resist hits was much stronger.

The Ming army did not have many naval guns, only hundreds of them could fire, and white-haired shells were on them...... Then pull it with a hook claw, and then drag it back and slash it to win. Li Yongfang thought happily, he was still very confident in the hand-to-hand combat ability of the soldiers of the Jiannu Water Division.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, but at this time, some soldiers of the Jiannu Water Division found out. The small boats that were scattered just now actually ran to the upwind position and gathered in the process of their pursuit of the main warship of the Denglai Naval Division. Then, at great speed, groups rushed towards them.

I saw these small boats, but they were divided into two parts, front and rear, more like two ships connected together. This is the mother and son ship of the Ming army, and the sub-ship in front is full of fire oil and firewood. It's a pity that the Jiannu sailors don't know this kind of thing, and they are wondering and laughing at how this group of small boats suddenly rushed over to die. These sub-mother ships were already less than 100 meters away from the Jiannu Naval Division's warships.

At this time, the sub-ship was ignited by the Ming army on the mother ship, and a raging flame ignited in an instant, the flame rushed up several meters high, and then under the blowing of the sea breeze, the tongue of fire pressed forward several meters. And the mother ship behind, because it was hiding behind the wind, these flames had no effect on them.

"Fire, fire......" shouted the Jiannu soldier in horror, "row the boat!" ”

"Stop them, stop them."

"Ahh ~”

The formation of the Jiannu sailors was in chaos on the spot, a group of warships dodged in panic, the scene was simply a mess, and the panicked warships collided with each other like headless flies.

Jiannu couldn't stop these 'terrorist attacks' at all, and more than 200 mother-of-nails ships directly crashed into Jiannu's formation with the help of the wind.

The spike in front of the sub-ship crashed directly into the warship of the Jiannu Marine Division. In an instant, the flames burned to these warships, and in the face of such a terrifying cauldron, the Jiannu on the warships were helpless. It was impossible to extinguish the fire, there was not so much water on the ship, and the flames were blown by the sea breeze for several meters, so it was impossible to get close to these sub-boats, which stuck to their warship like a dog's skin plaster, and the Jiannu soldiers could only watch as the warships were ruthlessly ignited.

After the sub-ships successfully collided with the enemy ship, the mother ship behind directly released the connecting device, and then stepped on the oars to quickly evacuate. (To be continued......)
