PS: I'm sorry, but the kid has just returned home from the rehearsal of the dance class...... I forgot to give notice in advance, and it's my fault. Tomorrow Friday, the end of the week, the three days of the weekend will be as late as eight o'clock, and I will explain it again.

Goguryeo itself did not have a written language, the aristocracy used Chinese characters on a daily basis, and as for the low-level soldiers among the sailors, of course, they were all illiterate - in fact, the situation of the Chinese sailors was not much better. It's just that every year they will let the ship go west to Xi'an Ping to trade with Chinese, and there are those who are well-informed, at least know that words are words, not some strange patterns......

But what exactly is that? Where did this ship come from? Why did you come here?

The Goguryeo people can trade westward in peacetime, and Liaodong has its own merchants, and occasionally they will drive small boats up the river - if you really want to enter Goguryeo by land, the nobles and garrisons from all over the country will set up cards layer by layer, which can gnaw you so much that you can't even leave the old book; If you take the waterway, then only Hao Xu's family will stand in the way, although the tax collection is ruthless, there is still something to be earned. Therefore, Wei Yan and the others were able to collect these thirteen small boats suitable for inland navigation in Xi'an Ping and cooperate with the action.

These small boats sent by Hao Xu are mostly big-headed soldiers on board, and there is no heavy general to command - up and down, the commander is lazy, and the generals can't be diligent - and these big-headed soldiers are used to seeing Xi'anping's ships, and when a merchant comes over, they can't react for a while. If he turned around as soon as he saw the flag, it was estimated that it would be difficult for Deng Ai to catch up, but after such a hesitation, when he saw clearly that the ship was full of men in military uniforms, and there was a general in armor who commanded first, and then wanted to turn around, he didn't rush anymore.

Deng Shi took the lead. Standing right on the bow of the first boat. Enemy ships were seen in the distance. He called the oarsmen to move forward with strength, and at the same time the soldiers drew their bows and arrows. As soon as the first round of feather arrows was fired, more than a dozen Goguryeo sailors on the opposite side fell, and the rest shouted, hurriedly pulled the oars and turned around, and some of the cowardly ones jumped directly into the water, intending to swim ashore. to avoid enemy arrows.

This battle was a victory, not only completely destroying the Goguryeo naval division, but also grabbing two small boats. Deng Ai immediately sent a few clever soldiers down the river on an enemy boat to report the news to Wei Yanyu, and at the same time sped up his speed and went straight to the bottom of Marudu Mountain - but unfortunately he failed to capture the prisoners, and he still did not know much about the enemy's fortifications.

Finally, when he sailed to the vicinity of Marudu Mountain, he saw a dense array of trees in front of him, and he went down the village along the river. It has long been prepared-after all, there are Goguryeo soldiers who have swam ashore, and they are familiar with the terrain. ran all the way and passed the news back to Hao Xu's army. Hao Xu was also shocked when he heard the report, and after careful investigation, he only knew that the enemy ships were not big, but in the chaos, no one could see how many people and ships there were. Hearing that the ships of the Wei army were about the same level as their own patrol boats, Hao Xu finally made up his mind, so he assigned his generals to strictly guard the water village, intending to win a big victory to invite merit.

Of course, he didn't dare to hide the military situation, but still passed the news to Pei Zhede, and somewhat exaggerated the size of the enemy army - "There are three big boats, and there are no way to count small boats, and their soldiers are probably more than two thousand." With his experience and poor imagination, he would have been able to concoct such a lie.

When he heard the news, he quickly doubled the report, and sent the horse to report the palace on the west bank of the boiling water, not mentioning it for the time being.

Let's say that Deng Ai took advantage of the victory and went straight to Goguryeo Water Village. The soldiers looked at it from a distance, and there were no less than 20 ships lined up outside the wall, and the soldiers were about 500 people, and it was estimated that there would only be more in the wall, and they couldn't help but feel timid. Deng Ai loudly boosted morale and said: "If the enemy crosses the water and the village, I will not be able to move forward." Now I am guarding the village and the village, so why be afraid? ”

If the Goguryeo people had taken precautions and set up checkpoints in the narrow area of the Mazi water, there would be no need for "iron ropes across the river", whether it was Deng Ai or Wei Yan, all the large and small ships would not be able to drive through, so they could only turn around and turn back. But now that they are only building a village under the city, the Wei army has too much room for maneuver - Deng Ai said, let's first arrive under the enemy's capital, and this alone is a great achievement.

According to the original plan, Deng Ai ordered the ships to move closer to the south bank, intending to abandon the boat and land on the shore and erect a fence to threaten the Marudu Mountain Castle on the opposite bank. But as soon as the order was given, the water gate on the opposite side was wide open, and countless ships rushed in.

Although Hao Xu is known as the general of the water division, he has never fought a water war very seriously, but he always has basic common sense. Seeing that there are not many enemy ships, and they are going up against the wind, then as long as they let the ship go over, the other party will inevitably collapse - how simple and down-to-earth this battle is. Therefore, he immediately ordered the whole division to come out and destroy this morning food!

Seeing this, Deng Ai knew that there was no time to close the shore, so he immediately ordered: "Reverse oar!" "Let's not turn around anymore, just retreat.

To say that Hao Xu has never fought much in a water fight, Deng Shizai even got on the boat for the first time, and it was the first time to lead the troops to see the battle - of course the small-scale weapon fight in the tun in the past can't be counted - although he liked military things when he was young, "every time he saw the mountains and Daze, he pointed to the military camp premises", but after all, he talked about the army on paper, and there was no family history, and the pure wild road was not as good as Zhao Kuo, the horse service of the year.

However, this young man has a strength, that is, he is humble and studious, and since he was assigned to the South Road to listen to the use, he has been looking for old soldiers to talk to the sailors every day, listening to them tell stories about water battles, and asking for experience. To say that Wei Yansuo led the East China Sea Division, in addition to the old soldiers of Youzhou and Wu Hui, there are also many people and horses he brought from Huainan, although there is no big war on the sea, these veterans have long seen the battle with the Eastern Wu Navy on the Yangtze River. Therefore, although Deng Ai was in charge of the fleet for the first time, he knew a lot about water affairs—otherwise he would not have the courage and face to carry out this risky plan.

So seeing the enemy ship rushing towards him, Deng Ai rolled his eyes and already had an idea. He knows that hard work can't be fought, not to mention the disparity between the outnumbered, his own side is against the current, the other party is downstream, and he may break his own position just by colliding. For now, there is only a temporary retreat, and if the problem is to turn around in front of the enemy, it is estimated that there will be no rush - simply, it is better to use the stern as the bow directly.

The shape and quality of the ships on both sides were not too different, and theoretically speaking, the Chinese ships were more advanced and sturdy than the Goguryeo ships. On the Goguryeo side, there were no less than 50 large and small ships, carrying nearly 2,000 troops; In terms of numbers, the Wei army was less than a quarter of it. It stands to reason that one side rushes forward and the other side retreats, and the speed should be about the same, but the head of the forward rusher is sharp, and the stern of the retreater is flat.

Moreover, the Wei army rowed hundreds of miles to the river, and the Goguryeo side waited for work, and it was estimated that it would not take dozens of miles to start a fierce battle, and the Goguryeo side would win more than seventy percent.

It's just that the Goguryeo sailors are uneven, both the old and the bad, and there are more new soldiers who are fighting for the first time - that is, a group of logistics soldiers, who are in charge of transportation or business, where have they ever fought. Deng Ai belongs, but they are all carefully selected pawns by Xiahoulan and Wei Yan, either with big shoulders and round waists, one person can copy an oar, or the arrows on the boat can reach sixty paces away, and the accurate head is no different from the flat ground. Therefore, while Deng Ai retreated, he organized a salvo of bows and crossbows, and when he gave an order, several people fell on the enemy's first ship. The rest of the Goguryeo soldiers panicked, and even the helmsman was busy holding his head and squatting down to avoid the arrows, and the ship immediately turned sideways, and then the rear ship crashed into it with a "bang", almost capsizing both ships.

So he chased for more than ten miles, the retreater was orderly, the pursuer became more and more chaotic, and the distance between the two sides not only did not shorten, but gradually lengthened. Deng Ai immediately ordered the oarsmen to slow down so that the enemy ships would not get out of range of their bows and arrows, a term that would later be used in the Internet called "hanging".

When Hao Xu saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel very frustrated: I had known that I would have put the enemy closer first, and then go out of the village to meet the attack-he didn't think that the other party would dare to approach his own water village with such a few boats and soldiers--if he continued to chase, it was estimated that he might not be able to catch up with the Wei boat until dark, and his bow and arrow almost failed to hurt anyone, and the other party had already shot over more than ten of his own soldiers, and caused the two small boats to capsize. The generals under him all persuaded Hao Xu to withdraw from the army, Hao Wenjun spread his hands, how to retreat?

When marching is downwind, retreating is against the wind, you see that the enemy is like kraft candy, and does not take the opportunity to fly far, just keep a certain distance, use bows and arrows to gradually weaken their own side, then don't ask, once they turn around and retreat, they will inevitably follow the trail and chase.

After thinking for a long time, he finally ordered to gradually slow down and re-form the formation, and then left a dozen small boats in front to block the enemy, and he took a big boat, led the main force, and directly turned around and returned to the water village. As soon as Deng Ai saw the other party slow down, he immediately ordered to change the direction of the oars and close the distance between the two sides again-the Goguryeo people want to escape, we must chase the general.

The distance between the two sides got closer and closer, arrows flew sideways, and the Wei army began to suffer casualties. Deng Ai saw clearly that most of the enemy army had retreated, leaving only a dozen small boats broken. So he put down his bow and arrows, and in his left hand he held a wooden sign in front of him, and with his right hand he drew the sword from his waist. Just waiting for the two ships to approach, his subordinates hooked the enemy ship, Deng Shizai let out a long howl, bent his legs, and jumped over first, and then opened two short spears with his left hand, and the sword in his right hand flashed, and the enemy soldier in front of him was slashed over.

The Wei soldiers followed one after another, jumping ship to fight. Those Goguryeo sailors shot with arrows from afar, and they still had a trace of courage, and when they encountered a short encounter, they died instantly, and most of them panicked on the spot. Almost Sancheng jumped directly into the water, Sancheng fell to the ground and begged to surrender, and the rest was just holding up his weapon and being stunned with the boat......

When Hao Xu returned to the water village, it would be late, and after waiting for a while, the ship would return after not seeing the break - it was estimated that he would not be able to come back. So he wrote a battle report and sent a fast horse to the mountain castle of Marudu. The war report said: "There are no less than hundreds of thieves today, coming to attack the water village, and the rest of the soldiers are the first, out of the village and fighting, the arrows are flying like clouds in the sky, and the pride of our army is like a rainbow in the sky." After a short battle, the Wei thieves were broken, and their boats were destroyed by more than a dozen, but the thieves were stubborn, and no one surrendered, and they refused to be captured, and they all threw themselves into the water to die......, "Otherwise, I have to come and ask me for a prisoner, or the corpse of the enemy, where can I dig him out?"

“…… The thief ship retreated, and our army could not catch up, and also lost more than a dozen boats, killing more than 100 people. It is expected that the thief will come again tomorrow, although I have frustrated its sharpness, after all, I am outnumbered, I am afraid that if there is a mistake, the country will be in danger. It is to close the village and guard it, look at its lower place, and please send the land division to copy the ......" (to be continued......
