Chapter 468: Zheng Zhilong and Li Sunsin (6,000 words)
"Put down the boat."
Zheng Zhilong instructed the sailors to lower the rowing boats used for shoal operations.
Sailor soldiers and sailors turned the winch, and the oared boat slowly fell to the sea. Soon, there were hundreds of rowing boats floating on the sea, each with only a few or more people.
"Attack!"
Zheng Zhilong personally took charge of a 400-hundred-lucky ship, and the mighty Fubo army sailed to the port of Jeju Island.
The expedition to Jeju Island consisted of 400 warships from the Ming Dynasty and fighting ships, warships, and walkers from the Han Dynasty.
"But my lord, I heard that the Liaodong Army fought in Yizhou, killed 80,000 of our soldiers, and dozens of adults were executed by the Liaodong Army. The heavenly power of the Liaodong Army is not something that our Goryeo Kingdom can bear. ”
The Goryeo official on Jeju Island wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He had already heard that Mingguan, who was too guarded by Liaodong, personally led 200,000 Liaodong troops to invade Goryeo, and that the northern border of Goryeo had been captured by the Liaodong army, and only some rebels were rebelling against Mingguan's rule.
Ming about the battle of Uiju City, the pit and killing of 80,000 Goryeo soldiers, aroused the fear of countless Goryeo generals and ministers, even the southernmost Jeju Island, heard the horror of the Liaodong Army, and couldn't help but feel a chill in the bottom of their hearts.
Mingguan is terrifying, second only to the big demon kings at the level of Bai Qi and Xiang Yu.
Due to the current naval command of the Goryeo Kingdom, Yi Sunsin was transferred by the lord Choi Jae-sun to Jeju Island to transport war horses and support Choi Jae-sun.
Choi Jae-sun gathered all the resources of the Goryeo Kingdom and took advantage of the terrain to fight with the Liaodong Army.
Although Choi Jae-seon was defeated and won less, he still resisted stubbornly, and the rebels of Goryeo continued to support Choi Jae-seon.
The terrible thing about Myeongguan is its elite cavalry, and even if Choi Jae-sun recruits the naval hero Yi Sunsin, he can't change the strength contrast between the Liaodong Army and the Goryeo Army.
The population of Liaodong and Goryeo is almost the same, but they are facing Liaodong Taishou Mingguan, which even Chutian is not very willing to provoke.
Myeongguan regarded Goryeo as its vassal, and it was necessary to enter the Guannai in the future just a group of Goryeo servants, otherwise Myeongguan would face the problem of insufficient population.
Liaodong's annexation of Goryeo is almost the same as the population of the entire Youzhou.
Yi Sunsin, a naval general, only shook his head in the face of the erosive and uncertain situation in Goryeo, saying that he could not do anything.
"Although Jeju Island produces horses, if it continues to be consumed at this rate, I am afraid that all the horses will be instigated and used as military horses. But it is also necessary to leave a group of good horses as stallions. ”
Officials on Jeju Island once again expressed their concerns.
"Just do what your adults tell you to do. Now that our country of Korea is in ruins, we are desperate to expel foreign enemies. ”
Yi Sunsin looked at the vast sea.
Suddenly, several black spots appeared on the surface of the sea.
In addition to Yi Sunsin's newly formed fleet and scattered fishing boats, there could not have been any other large fleet nearby.
Yi Sunsin suspected that he had a mirage-like delusion, so he closed his eyes. When I opened it again, the black dot gradually became clear, it was the sail of the warship!
"Assemble the people!"
Yi Sunsin ordered his subordinates to bang the gong and urgently gather all the sailors.
He wasn't sure if the other party was friend or foe, as Choi Jae-sun might also send other fleets to Jeju Island to speed up the transport of war horses.
The number of black dots increases, gradually forming a black line, and the sails become clearer and clearer.
This is not an ordinary fishing boat, but a warship for naval warfare!
Aside from the lack of firearms, the sheer size of the hull and the hard ramming angles of such a ship were enough to sink enemy ships along the way!
Directly crushing with a big ship, this is a tactic often used in the era of cold weapons.
At least the ships of the Han Empire were in the eastern seas, and their size should be the largest among all civilizations.
The sailors of Goryeo discovered that it was not their ship, but most likely from the suzerain.
The arrival of such a fleet of the suzerain's country does not seem to be friendly and cordial......
All the scouts of the Goryeo Kingdom were sent to deal with the Liaodong Army, and they were completely defenseless against Xuzhou, and they did not expect that Chutian would travel thousands of miles to send a fleet to attack Jeju Island.
Attacked from the sea, Yi Sunsin could not have predicted such a situation at all!
He did his best to gather his troops, only to find his troops in disarray, sailors and sailors rushing aboard, and horses piled up on the docks neighing restlessly, exacerbating the tension.
"Only by going to sea can you repel enemy ships!"
Yi Sunsin led his own soldiers to board the turtle boat.
It is one of the few behemoths in Goryeo, with a length of 35 meters, a width of 12 meters, and a height of 5 meters.
There are 10 oars on the left and right sides of the turtle boat, more than 70 hollows, which can accommodate hundreds of sailor soldiers.
"Anchor!"
The sailors struggled to put the anchor up and cut the thick rope tied to the wooden stake of the dock.
If the ship loses its flexibility, then it is just a pile of waste wood lying in the harbor.
Yi Sunsin was attacked by an unexpected surprise attack by the Fubo Legion, and with his commanding ability and characteristics, he temporarily commanded a group of warships to go to sea to fight, buying time for the chaotic sailors and soldiers in the rear.
As long as he can hold Zheng Zhilong back, then the sailors and soldiers in the rear will adjust in time and will continue to go to sea to reinforce him.
The turtle ships were larger than other Goryeo warships, and not only were they expensive to build, but they also came at a cost of losing some of their mobility.
When Zheng Zhilong ordered the shallower draft warships such as rowing boats, sterns, and fighting ships to attack at full speed, the turtle boats did not have time to leave the harbor.
"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”
The soldiers of the Fubo Legion moved in unison, roaring slogans, and shuttling between the waves like sharp arrows! The sea crashes against the warship, and the waves splash!
This is the slogan formulated by Chutian for the surprise attack on Jeju Island.
Although the officers and men of the Fubo Legion did not understand what this meant, they shouted the slogan neatly, as if full of blood burst out in their throats!
The first expedition of the Fubo Army, the Fubo Army, which usually has nothing to do, finally has a chance to win the battle!
"General, it seems that there is a Goryeo naval division stationed on Jeju Island, and there is a discrepancy with the intelligence, do we still want to continue the attack?"
"Destroy them."
Chung Ji-ryong also could not have imagined that Yi Sun-sin, the commander of the naval division of Goryeo, would be ordered by Choi Jae-sun to transport horses to Jeju Island at this time.
But Zheng Zhilong, as the king of ships in the late Ming Dynasty, crisscrossed the four seas, and would not give up the expedition just because he met the naval division of the Goryeo Kingdom.
Led hundreds of ships to attack Jeju Island, how could he easily retreat!
The king of the ship has the arrogance of the king of the ship!
"General, what kind of monster is that?"
The captain of the Naval Division discovered Yi Sunsin's ship, the Turtle Ship.
Zheng Zhilong was also the first time to see such a monster, and his pupils shrank.
The turtle boat is like a huge turtle on the sea, which is terrifying.
"The characteristic ships of the Goryeo Kingdom, the turtle boats, have strong defensive power, and the general of the Goryeo Navy Division on Jeju Island is likely to be the hero of the Goryeo Kingdom, Yi Sunsin."
Among Zheng Zhilong's generals, there are also strangers.
Chutian treats strangers and local talents equally, and he can be in a high position if he has the ability and qualifications.
A group of seafaring talents will be born among the players, and those with great talent and luck may become master sailors.
Players are all too familiar with the special warships of the Goryeo Kingdom.
"No matter what kind of ship it is, as long as it is made of wood, it will sink into the sea in the face of my fire."
Zheng Zhilong's eyes reflected most of the naval battlefield, and the ships and walkers in the front had already begun to emit black smoke!
Zheng Zhilong's best tactic is fire attack!
As a precaution, he opened the way with a fireboat, and in one breath, paid a hundred small boats as the price for defeating Yi Sunsin!
The ship took advantage of the waves and rushed towards Yi Sunsin's fleet, and the sailors had already jumped into the sea after lighting the fireboat.
It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen!
Yi Sunsin's fleet was blocked in a narrow harbor, and there was no way to avoid it!
The fireboat was engulfed in flames and struck the ships in the harbor, and the fire spread rapidly. The fire was reflected in the entire sea, billowing black smoke for a hundred meters!
The harbor of Jeju Island was reduced to a sea of fire, and the defenders of Jeju Island watched in horror as the fire consumed most of Yi Sunsin's ships.
The Han army has reached Jeju Island!
Is this the Han army of the Liaodong Army, or is it the Han army from where?
The minds of the defenders of Jeju Island went blank.
They were shocked by the horror of the other party's fire attack and completely stopped thinking.
"Block the fireship from approaching!"
Yi Sunsin commanded several small boats to protect the turtle boats.
He would rather have a strong man break his wrist than guard this turtle ship and not let it fall into the hands of the Han Empire.
Currently, this is also the only turtle ship in Goryeo.
In order to protect the turtle boat, several Goryeo boats sacrificed themselves to intercept the fireship that was pushed by the wind and waves.
Yi Sunsin stood on the deck of the turtle ship, looking around, surrounded by a sea of fire, and thick smoke billowing with the help of the sea breeze.
The commander of the sailor on the opposite side was too ruthless, and directly took the fire ship as the vanguard and burned the ship that came out of Jeju Island. At least a thousand people were killed and wounded.
The fireship only opened the way, and in the rear, Zheng Zhilong's fortune boats, fighting ships, and ships stepped forward to harvest the Goryeo naval division, and hundreds of ships blocked Jeju Island, and there were no ships to leave!
Rumble!
The turtle boat struck a ship, which was far less in size than the turtle boat, and the hull broke in an instant, and seawater poured in. The soldiers of the Zheng family gave up their ships and escaped by diving.
"Intercept the turtle boat!"
Zheng Zhilong fought against such a monster for the first time, and he felt fierce in his heart. He did not believe that with the number of his warships, he could not destroy the turtle ship.
Under Zheng Zhilong's signal, the two lucky boats attacked the turtle boat on the left and right.
The size of the Four Hundred Fortune Ship is slightly smaller than that of the Turtle Boat, but it is not much smaller. And Zheng Zhilong's confidence lies in the fact that the other party only has a turtle boat, and Zheng Zhilong has a lot of lucky boats!
Rumble! The turtle ship collided with one of the lucky ships, and the two warships shook violently, and the sailors in the cabin staggered.
The turtle ship in "Lord" has a defense bonus, and with a simple collision, the turtle ship is more dominant, while the hull of the lucky ship has cracked.
"Shoot your arrows and break out of the encirclement at the same time!"
Yi Sunsin ordered the archers to shoot outwards from the icy hollow and shoot the soldiers of the Zheng family sailors on the Fu ship.
The turtle ship is like a turtle on a rampage, trying to get out of the encirclement of the Fubo Legion. Because of the turtle's back covered with iron cones, the Zheng family sailors could not jump on its deck and engage in a broadside battle with it, and there was nothing to be done about it for a while.
"Crash! Crash it for me! ”
"Use rockets!"
Zheng Zhilong shook his head when he saw the clumsy turtle boat crash into the two lucky boats that were trying to flank him, so he spared no effort to block the turtle boat!
Zheng Zhilong's trait "Ship King" can make the collision damage of the warship +15%, the damage of the fireship +15%, and the attack power of the sailor class +15%; Trait "Fu Fubune", when leading Fu Fubune in battle, the overall performance of Fu Fu Fu is +5%.
In other words, Zheng Zhilong's Fu ship has a strong combat capability in naval battles.
Soon, seven or eight fortune boats began to encircle and intercept the turtle boats.
Thousands of rockets were fired at the turtle boat, covering this turtle boat.
The turtle ship was too conspicuous in the fleet of the Goryeo Kingdom, so it became the main target of the Fubo Legion!
A lucky ship is even horizontal in front of the turtle ship, and the crossbowmen on the deck shoot rockets at the turtle ship!
Suddenly, a poisonous mist erupted from the bow of the turtle ship, enveloping the front!
More than 10 soldiers of the Zheng Jiashui Division, who were attacked by poison gas, died, and the other soldiers panicked. The turtle boat took advantage of the situation to hit the Fukufune that was in the way, and the huge impact force hit it hard, and the planks on the side of the Fukufune cracked!
"That's the poisonous gas produced when the sulfur burns......"
"It stands to reason that Inhumans can't use sulfur as a weapon, because chemical weapons are also restricted to ......"
"I see, this is most likely the turtle ship's own attack method, just like the arquebus can only be used by firearms!"
Players who worked for the Fubo Legion saw that the turtle ship would also use the poisonous mist to attack, and immediately understood how it worked.
With the help of the player, Zheng Zhilong probably understood that he had to avoid this poisonous gas, and ordered the sailors and soldiers of each ship not to panic.
It is not the poisonous fog itself that is feared by the sailors, but the unknown.
Because of the player's intervention, the sailors and soldiers who knew the reality of the turtle boat were a little relieved and continued to encircle and suppress the turtle boat.
Rumble!
A lucky ship used the ramming angle as a weapon, and violently rammed the turtle ship from the flank, and the sharp ramming angle directly broke through the cabin, and several sailors in the cabin were knocked to death, and the flesh and blood were blurred!
The two warships stuck together, and the archers on the deck of the Fufu ship fired flat rockets at the turtle ship, and one rocket after another was nailed to its turtle back, and the turtle ship wrapped in cowhide and part of the iron piece was finally ignited!
Rumble!
Another lucky boat collided and scuttled through the turtle boat from the other direction!
Inside the turtle ship, the Goryeo sailors and soldiers were skewed, and the goods and horses were dumped, and it was a mess.
No matter how high the defense of the turtle ship was, in the face of the persistent impact of several lucky ships, it could not withstand the damage in the end, and the hull of the ship was broken and the sea water poured in.
The sailors and sailors of the Goryeo Kingdom turned pale.
It is not difficult to imagine what it means for seawater to pour into the cabin.
Yi Sunsin anxiously instructed the sailors to repair the cracks, but to no avail. The turtle boat is sinking.
"It's a pity a good warship."
Zheng Zhilong looked at the sinking turtle ship and observed a three-second silence, which was regarded as the last respect for a respectable opponent.
The stubborn resistance of the turtle boat was somewhat beyond Zheng Zhilong's imagination.
The turtle ship crashed and sank a 400-material fortune ship, and several fortune ships adopted a nearly unilateral approach in order to sink the turtle ship.
Zheng Zhilong was not distressed.
The national strength of the two countries is different.
Zheng Zhilong can take out dozens of lucky boats, while Goryeo can only take out one turtle boat.
At least on Jeju Island, there is only one turtle boat, Yi Sunsin.
Using a few sixth-order Fu ships that could be mass-produced to sink the flagship of the Goryeo Naval Division, Zheng Zhilong thought it was very cost-effective.
"Capture all the Goryeo sailors, we still need them to row."
Zheng Zhilong ordered all the soldiers of the Zheng family to mobilize immediately and jump into the sea to capture the Goryeo sailors who fell into the water.
There were not many Goryeo sailors who really died in battle, and only one or two thousand people died.
The rest of the sailors' pawns and sailors became prisoners of the Fubo Legion.
Some of the unloyal sailors surrendered directly to Zheng Zhilong.
As long as the strength is strong enough, there is never a shortage of people who are willing to be dogs.
Zheng Zhilong was quite satisfied with the results of the battle, he sacrificed a number of fireships and a few lucky ships, and wiped out the main force of the sailors of the Goryeo Kingdom: "Who is the main general of the other party?" ”
An alien lieutenant said, "It's probably Yi Sunsin." If you can capture him alive and give it to the lord, the lord will definitely be rewarded. ”
Zheng Zhilong's eyes changed slightly: "Li Sunsin, is he the one who commanded the turtle ship and tried to break through?" Thoroughly investigate the Goryeo sailors who escaped from the turtle boat, and identify Yi Sunsin, who can live, and a reward of 100 taels! ”
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and soon Yi Sunsin was recognized by the Goryeo Navy, who knew him.
At this time, Yi Sunsin disguised himself as an ordinary Goryeo sailor soldier and tried to fish in troubled waters and escape.
It's just that Zheng Zhilong's methods made his abacus fail.
"My lord, this is Yi Sunsin, it's definitely him!"
The Goryeo sailors once again identified Yi Sunsin and came to ask for a reward from Chung Ji-ryong.
This is a hundred taels of gold, ordinary people and others will never see so much money in half their lives.
Yi Sunsin's cheeks were blackened by smoke, his hair was disheveled, and he was betrayed by sailors, and he gritted his teeth and longed to eat his flesh raw.
"You are Yi Sunsin, the commander of the naval army of Goryeo? For the sake of your stubborn resistance, join my Fubo Legion, and together we will crisscross the seas and expand the territory. ”
Zheng Zhilong admired this tenacious guy and planned to include him in the Fubo Legion.
The Fubo Legion lacks generals.
The entire Fubo Legion has a total of 50,000 people, but it is full of calculations, and there are only two military generals who can be reused, one of which is Xu Sheng, who often goes ashore to fight, or is transferred to the inland river to engage in grain transportation.
Xu Sheng is not a pure admiral.
Chung Zhi-ryong and Yi Sun-sin belong to one category of people - professional naval commander-type heroes.
Therefore, Zheng Zhilong sympathized with each other and wanted to expand the scale of the generals of the Fubo Legion.
There are many maritime civilizations in the West, and it is easier for them to give birth to navigators, and Zheng Zhilong can only compete with marine civilizations by absorbing as many sailor heroes as possible.
Yi Sunsin refused: "I am a courtier of Goryeo, how can I surrender to Yu'er and wait!" ”
Zheng Zhilong had already thought that Yi Sunsin would be like this, so he was not angry, and let Li Sunsin loosen his ties and treat him as a guest.
For this kind of hard bone, Zheng Zhilong chose to slowly soften.
Isn't that the courtier of Goryeo......
As long as the Goryeo Kingdom is gone, sooner or later it will surrender.
For the sake of a hero, to destroy a country, this kind of thinking Chu Tian is not unprecedented......
Zheng Zhilong's views are also similar to those of Chu Tian.
"The villain, the villain's one hundred taels ......"
The sailors who identified Yi Sun-sin couldn't help but walk on thin ice when they saw that Zheng Zhilong had not killed Yi Sun-sin.
"You still want a hundred taels of gold?"
Zheng Zhilong turned his face and denied it.
The sailor of the Goryeo Kingdom trembled with fright, and knelt on the deck, he heard the dissatisfaction in Zheng Zhilong's tone, and said again and again: "The villain doesn't dare to ask for it, please let the villain go!" ”
"Come, tie these traitors to an iron anchor, and sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish."
Zheng Zhilong directly sentenced this Goryeo sailor to death in one sentence.
As the king of ships, Zheng Zhilong is not a weak person in his bones, otherwise he would not have governed the pirate-like Zheng family army well.
Seeing that the traitor was killed by Zheng Zhilong, Yi Sunsin had mixed feelings, and he had now become a prisoner of the Fubo Legion.
Yi Sunsin asked, "What is the purpose of your attack on Jeju Island?" ”
Zheng Zhilong replied: "This place has been our Chinese territory since ancient times, and I just led the fleet to recover this place. ”
Under the command of Zheng Zhilong, the Fubo Army went ashore with great fanfare, and all the 5,000 defenders of Jeju Island surrendered, and no one dared to resist.
The officials on Jeju Island were terrified, and they threw themselves to the ground, not daring to look up at Zheng Zhilong, who exuded murderous aura.
A fire burned Jeju Island, and Zheng Zhilong became a terrible figure who cried at night, and no one knew whether he would kill a group of Goryeo officials and make an example of chickens and monkeys after he went ashore.
"How many war horses are there on Jeju Island?"
Zheng Zhilong kicked a kneeling Goryeo official, who was too nervous and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and unconscious.
“……”
Zheng Zhilong didn't expect this group of people to be so afraid of him.
"If no one answers, then they all sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish."
"Back to the Heavenly Dynasty, there were more than 300,000 horses on Jeju Island, but later about 200,000 horses were transported, and only more than 100,000 horses remained. Among the remaining horses, the number of war horses may be only seventy or eighty thousand......"
A bold young official took the initiative to report to Zheng Zhilong.
"There are only so few war horses left."
Zheng Zhilong was not very satisfied with the harvest.
This also reflects how tragic the battlefield of Goryeo was. As if he had gone mad, Choi Jae-sun fought against Myeongguan endlessly, transporting most of the horses on Jeju Island to land and forming cavalry regiments.
In any case, after capturing Jeju Island and capturing Yi Sunsin, Zheng Zhilong thought that he could at least surrender to Chutian.
Jeju Island is enough to support hundreds of thousands of horses, including war horses and pack horses, and it is estimated that it will take several years to recuperate in order to restore the scale of horse breeding on Jeju Island.
Zheng Zhilong transported the war horse that Cui Jae-sun was going to leave back to Xuzhou.
When the news of the Han Empire's surprise attack on Jeju Island, the burning of the main force of the Goryeo naval division, and the capture alive of the legendary Goryeo hero Yi Sun-sin, reached the hinterland of Goryeo, the players of Goryeo were in an uproar and filled with righteous indignation.
Even if the Liaodong Army occupied the northern part of the Goryeo Kingdom, even the Central Plains princes of the Han Empire had to intervene.
And the representative hero of their civilization, Yi Sunsin, became a prisoner of the princes of the Central Plains!
At present, the legendary heroes who were captured by Chutian and represented various civilizations include Joan of Arc of France, King Arthur of England, and Yi Sunsin of Goryeo......
It's just that these civilizations are still helpless against Chutian.
Zheng Zhilong set up a fortress on Jeju Island, planted the dragon flag on Jeju Island, and sent a fleet to plunder the coastal area of Goryeo.
