Chapter 739: Naval Battle (1) Second Update
"The banner of Yangzhou, the banner of His Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou!" The boatmen and porters shouted loudly, lest others would not hear, and the others were also rushing to the ground, as if they were all cheering.
As the ships got closer and closer, everyone's eyes widened and their mouths widened, for the three ships at the head of the fleet were too big.
Everyone opened their mouths wide and could fit two fists into them.
No one has ever seen a ship of this size, if the previous ships in Yangzhou are big enough, and compared with the current three warships, it can only be regarded as a small thing.
On the Huaxia ship, Gan Ning took the binoculars in his hand and looked at the reaction above the Liaodong port over there.
"General, look, those Liaodong people over there are quite funny!" Liang Chen also had a telescope in his hand, and said with a smile at Gan Ning.
"What Liaodong people, they are all the people of my Han Dynasty!" Gan Ning said angrily to Liang Chen.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Yang Chen on the side was not a general, so he didn't have a telescope, so he could only listen to the words of the two on the side, but Gan Ning remembered, "Lord Yang, give you clairvoyance!" Gan Ning's hand handed over the telescope, Liu Mang kept saying that this thing was a telescope, but both the army and the navy said that he was clairvoyant, because how could ordinary people see so far, it couldn't be changed, Liu Mang simply shouldn't be.
"Thank you, General Gan!" Yang Chen was not pretentious, took the telescope in Gan Ning's hand and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the terrain of Liaodong that he was familiar with.
"Bring it!" Gan Ning stretched out his hand and shouted to Liang Chen on the side.
"Huh?" Liang Chen was stunned for a moment, pretending not to hear, and continued to observe the Liaodong port over there, and was directly slapped in the face by Gan Ning.
"Pretend to be stupid! You make me stupid, bring it! Gan Ning's slap made Liang Chen unwillingly hand over the telescope.
It's almost close to the port of Liaodong over there," put down the sails. Cruising on the shore! ”
"Yes!" Soon all the sails from the Huaxia battleship were lowered.
"Take it!" Gan Ning handed the telescope to Liang Chen. Liang Chen was ready to continue to observe Liaodong over there. I thought in my heart that the boss was very good this time, and he returned the glasses to himself so quickly.
As soon as he put it on his eyes, he slapped him again, "Don't hurry up and go back to your own battleship!" Gan Ning scolded Liang Chen.
Liang Chen is the captain of the Dahan of the Sovereign-class battleship, because he tore half of his forehead and pasted it to the other side, so this cargo is a thick face and a two-skin face, so he has stayed on Gan Ning's flagship until now.
On the way, Liang Chen could stay on the flagship Huaxia, but this was about to start a war, so he naturally had to return to his own warship.
"Hey, hey!" Liang Chen got off the Huaxia with a hippie smile. Got on the boat and headed for his battleship.
"Lord Yang, how should I fight, attack the port directly?" Gan Ning asked Yang Chen on the side, Yang Chen was the commander-in-chief this time, and Gan Ning would fight wherever he wanted. This port in eastern Liaodong is really the first port to eat cannon eggs.
"No, you don't need to attack the port directly, salute first and then soldier!" Yang Chen stopped Gan Ning.
"Salute before soldiers?" Gan Ning didn't understand Wenchen's ways, so in his opinion, he could just hit him directly, but Gan Ning didn't object. Yang Chen asked people to put down the boat on the battleship and sent a Yangzhou naval sergeant. Wandered straight towards the harbor over there.
On the port of Liaodong, those coolie porters are all looking forward to it, hoping to get work from the Yangzhou fleet over there.
The bigger the ship, the more cargo it can carry, so they naturally have something to do.
"Those Yangzhou ships are still not docking!" There was a coolie footman who was puzzled, and these large warships were cruising in the coastal waters of Liaodong after they arrived in Liaodong, but they did not dock.
"Do you think it will?" Some people are still very worried, because the eldest prince Gongsun Kang was not kind to people in Yangzhou, could this be a war?
"How is that possible! Maybe those ships are too big, and we don't have a place to dock in our harbor, so they're waiting! Prevent stranding! Someone shook his head.
"Yes, the ship is bigger, and you have to think about it more!" Someone agreed.
"Look, look, the boat has come down from that big ship! This little boat is heading for us! "Some of the people saw the boat coming slowly towards them." I must ask our officials to find a suitable place for him to stop! "The people's doors are all music halls.
The boat slowly came towards the port, and when it arrived on the shore, it was immediately surrounded by the people, "This little brother, what did His Royal Highness the King of Shu of Yangzhou transport this time, do you want to work hard, I have a lot of strength, one person can pick a few guts, you choose me!" ”
"Wang Erniu, what are you talking about, if you want to say that I have the most strength, where can I get your turn!"
"Go, go!" One by one, they all gathered in front of this Yangzhou envoy.
Fortunately, the official over there soon stepped forward and helped the Yangzhou envoy to clear the people on the side.
"I am a messenger sent by His Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou!" The civil official stepped forward and said to the county lieutenant of Liaodong.
"An envoy sent by His Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou?" Could it be that Yangzhou will still trade with Liaodong? There was a glint in the eyes of the county lieutenant of Liaodong, as long as Liaodong and Yangzhou have maintained trade, then their little minions will naturally have kickbacks, why not.
"Messenger, please take your seat! Come with me, I'll go and inform the county magistrates, and then the county magistrates will inform the Taishou! The county lieutenant of Liaodong was still very respectful to this envoy from Yangzhou.
However, this envoy didn't buy it, he shook his head at the county lieutenant of Liaodong, "You don't have to go to the mansion!" I didn't come to Liaodong as a guest this time, but I came to announce the decree to Liaodong on the order of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, my lord! ”
"Decree?" The county lieutenant of Liaodong was stunned for a moment.
"Exactly!" This envoy of Yangzhou didn't care whether Liaodong was willing to take it or not, so he directly took out the cover and read it out: "The Holy King of the Han Dynasty said: The grandson of Liaodong, the Taishou of Liaodong is for me, and the Han Dynasty is guarding the frontier for one party. He has a son, grandson, and grandson. Disobey the royal way. Don't listen to the holy will, for the disaster of Liaodong for the shame of Liaodong, what's more, to buy and sell for the real robbery, the lonely hearing is very shocked, specially issued an order, so that Liaodong Wuwei general Gongsun Du, righteous extermination of relatives. Kidnap his son Gongsun Kang and send him to the Yangzhou Criminal Department for trial. After speaking, he handed over this holy domain to this Liaodong county lieutenant.
"This, this, this!" This Liaodong county lieutenant is about to cry, what is this called? This is definitely a hot thing, who is Gongsun Kang? That's the eldest prince of Liaodong, the future heir of Liaodong, how could Gongsun Du teach Gongsun Kang out, he believes that if this holy domain is taken back, Gongsun Kang will not be like thunder. If you don't pick him up and don't dare, you won't take the Holy Land. It's not good to be scapegoated.
Therefore, this Liaodong county lieutenant could only tremble and put away this holy domain, and subconsciously asked, "What if my family doesn't send the eldest prince to Yangzhou?" ”
"Hehe, if you don't send it, then we'll catch it ourselves! Give you a day to reply, and tomorrow at this time, don't blame us if you don't answer! This Yangzhou envoy clasped his fists at the lieutenant of Liaodong County and laughed: "Don't send it!" So saying, he got into the boat and headed for the warship on the other side.
"Catch it yourself, what does this mean!" The people on the side of the Yangzhou envoy heard the words, and asked the people on the side with some incomprehension.
"What's the point of coming to catch it in person, it's going to be a war!" Someone's brain spun quickly, and he quickly reacted.
"War? Those ships are not merchant ships, they are war ships! Suddenly, the entire port of Liaodong was boiling.
It's going to be a war, and the Gongsun Du of Liaodong really has a set, like the place near the port, which has not heard of soldiers for several years, and now when he hears that he is going to fight, he jumps up one by one.
"I said it a long time ago, Gongsun Kang Gongzi is the way to get into trouble! It's going to be war again! The people rushed to tell the news, and one by one they dragged their families and prepared to go away from the port.
……
"What!" Gongsun Kang, who was in the mansion of General Wuwei in Liaodong, had just laughed with a maid and was about to pick up his gun and get on the horse, when such a thing suddenly came from there, and Gongsun Kang was immediately not interested.
"That's what the envoy of Yangzhou really said!" Gongsun Kang asked angrily.
"Yes, eldest prince, then the envoys of Yangzhou said that if Lord Taishou does not arrest you and send you to the Yangzhou Criminal Department to be punished, they will personally come to Liaodong and take your dog's head!" This small county lieutenant in Liaodong, anyway, Gongsun Kang is going to be angry, he might as well add another fire, in this way, Gongsun Kang is so angry that he will only think about how to clean up the Yangzhou army, and will not be angry at him, a small county lieutenant.
"Damn, damn!" Sure enough, Gongsun Kang was completely provoked by the envoy from Yangzhou.
"Liu Mang'er, I am bound to kill you, I am too much to deceive people!" Gongsun Kang's eyes were full of killing intent.
"Who are you going to kill!" A majestic voice sounded, Gongsun Kang looked up, and it turned out to be his father, Gongsun Du.
This former king of Liaodong is really still full of majesty.
"I'm going to kill that Yangzhou Liu Mang child!" Gongsun Kang saw that although the killing intent in his father's eyes had disappeared a little, the hatred was not less at all.
"Kill Liu Mang, the king of Shu? Hehe, it's up to you? Gongsun Du sneered at his son, "Not to mention that Yangzhou is 108,000 miles away from Liaodong, just say that His Royal Highness the King of Shu fought in the battle of Wancheng, and the enemy was 100,000 troops of Sun Ce in Jiangdong. It's up to you? "Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou, is not a general person now, but very famous, because Liu Mang, the king of Shu, has basically not been defeated in a big battle, and what about his grandson Kang, what is his record.
"I've also defeated the Buyeo army!" Gongsun Kang said unconvinced.
"Hehe, Buyeo army?" Gongsun Du sneered at his son and poured cold water, when the army of Fuyu was less than 20,000 people, in order to increase the prestige of this son in the army, he Gongsun Du gave him 50,000 soldiers and horses, as well as Goguryeo on the side to help, that is, 80,000 troops fought 20,000 soldiers and horses, and this is how his precious son also fought a one-to-one battle loss.
It's just a loss of life, although he won, but Gongsun Du was embarrassed to take it out and say it, but he didn't expect to be given a treasure by Gongsun Kang.
"Eighty thousand troops fight twenty thousand?" Gongsun Du was not polite to his son at all.
"What's the matter, in the end, it's not a win, and the thirteen cities of Fuyu will be cut to us!" Gongsun Kang said unconvinced.
"That Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou, is called the king without a tiger and a monkey in the mountains, if my Liaodong relies on Yangzhou, he will definitely let Liu Mang know what is called the art of war, what is called marching and fighting." Gongsun Kang is about the same age as Liu Mang, so he has long been dissatisfied with Liu Mang for obtaining these Chen at such a young age.
"Humph!" Gongsun Du snorted coldly and didn't bother with his son. "I asked you to leave Yang Chen behind, but now there is a disaster! That Yangzhou Navy seems to be with! "Gongsun Du's spies have already sent him the news, and it is the battleship of Yangzhou that has appeared on the sea.
"Father, isn't it the Yangzhou Water Army? Look how I break him! Gongsun Kang saw what was written on the intelligence, there were forty-two warships in Yangzhou, three huge ships, thirty-nine small boats, thinking about its waterline, thirty-nine were troop carriers, and half of them were empty.
There are a total of 42 search ships, 39 search ships are troop carriers, just three warships, these three warships are enough for a fart, half of the troop carriers are empty, according to a boat of soldiers and horses in about 300 people, that is to say, the soldiers and horses sent by Yangzhou are 6,000 people.
Three warships, six thousand army troops, and nothing like a bed crossbow has been found on these three battleships.
"It's like God helping me!" Gongsun Kang laughed proudly, although the three warships are big, but how much can you protect, and they also have a fleet in Liaodong, including forty warships equipped with bed crossbows, your big ship is powerful and I have ten left, and the other auxiliary warships are nearly a hundred. Such a fleet against a fleet protected by three warships, isn't it a credit to the door?
"Father, don't worry, I will let them all fall into the sea to feed the sharks!" Gongsun Kang is full of confidence, he is the commander of the navy, "Pass my military order, let the navy An Zaixu immediately send troops to Liaodong Port, and all the Yangzhou troops will be left!" If there is any escape, ask him! "Gongsun Kang is full of confidence.
"Yes!" Soon someone quickly whipped towards the Liaodong Navy camp, the main general of the Liaodong Navy camp An Zaixu, this person is not a Han, but a Goguryeo, but when he was in the country, he was framed, his wife and daughter were all killed, and after Gongsun Kang avenged him, he stayed in Liaodong and trained the water army for Gongsun Kang.
"Pass my military order, the army will leave the camp, and the target is Liaodong Port!" (To be continued......)
