Chapter 158: Sea Attack
The water camp of the Liao State is now only left with two of the Jinzhou Department and the Laizhou Department.
Originally, there were three branches of Chenzhou, Suzhou, and Kaizhou in Liaodong, but as Liaodong was captured by the Jurchens several times, the soldiers of these three water battalions died, those who fled, and those who surrendered.
As for those who escaped, they were merged into the Jinzhou Ministry, so the Jinzhou Water Camp had more people and boats than the Laizhou Water Camp.
Jinzhou Shuiying departs in the morning, can arrive in Laizhou in about two or three hours, and then rest in Laizhou for a while, eat something, walk around, and then return to Jinzhou in the afternoon, and can arrive when it is about dark.
In these days, Jinzhou Water Camp has done this, and today is no exception, starting early, riding the wind and waves all the way, and arriving in Laizhou.
There is nothing to say about coming to the state, anyway, there is no need to entertain, the water battalion soldiers in Jinzhou eat and drink at their own expense, and as for the willingness to go ashore to hang out, they also spend their money in Laizhou, and they are not happy to come to the state.
At present, there are more than a dozen sea ships and more than 1,300 sailors in the Jinzhou water battalion, which is a collection of remnants of the Liaodong side, otherwise according to the Jinzhou water battalion system, there are only eight sea ships and 500 soldiers.
Now the ship is all over, but there are only nearly a thousand soldiers, and the rest are stationed in Jinzhou City, in a half-rested state.
The commander of the Jinzhou Water Camp is a Khitan, named Yelu Lianheng, who is Shu Yelu, who has nothing to do with the royal family, and he is sitting on a big chair on the deck in a daze at the moment, wondering when this kind of hard life will end.
The Khitans didn't like water very much, let alone sailing on the sea every two or three days, which was a painful ordeal for him, and he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had ridden a horse on the grassland.
But they had to sail back and forth like this, they couldn't defeat the pirates, and they couldn't evacuate all the people ashore, and when they all went ashore, the dozen or so ships were all gone, and this boat was not like a fishing boat, and it could still be dragged to the shore, and this kind of naval war ship could only be parked in the water.
Yelulian Hengyue thought about it and became more and more upset, sighed and looked at the sky, and felt that the time was almost up, so he asked the soldiers to notify the small battalions, and then after less than half an hour, the Jinzhou water camp fleet began to set sail and sail back.
It was afternoon, and a dozen or so ships had not gone far into the sea, but could see the shore at a distance.
There are no other cities between Laizhou and Jinzhou, and at first you can still see the sparse fishing villages on the shore, but after driving for more than an hour, there are more sea cliffs and cliffs, and only waterfowl, gulls and herons are fishing and flying.
Yelulian was sleeping in the cabin, and was dreaming back to the grassland in a daze, when suddenly there was a loud "boom" outside, and then the hull of the ship trembled violently.
He sat up from the ground suddenly, looking dazed, but then his expression changed greatly, and he staggered up, and before he could get out of the cabin, a small soldier came to report: "Command, yes, there is an enemy attack!" ”
I'm really worried about what's coming, Yelu Lianheng frowned, what else can there be any enemy attacks here, it can only be those pirates who have come over, what he is most worried about these days is that he will be attacked by pirates back and forth, but he didn't expect to really encounter it.
"Pass my order, turn around, and hurry up and turn around and return to the state!" Yelu Lianheng hurriedly ordered, he was dissatisfied with these pirates at first, he had never seen such a thing as pirates in his life, even if it was some old sailors in the water camp who had long gone home to retire, he had never seen pirates in his life, where did the pirates come from in Bohai Bay?
But after two hard encounters, he found that these pirates were simply Jurchen soldiers on the water, and they couldn't fight at all!
Liao's warships are not as strong as the other party, although they are all of the same size, but it is obvious that the other party's is stronger and better to use, the two ships collide, and the warships of Liao's are not opponents at all.
The navy army is not as good at fighting as the other party, although the other party's pirates have less protective armor, but they are all extremely fierce, not to mention the martial arts, but they are all like madmen who don't want to die, and the water nature is far better than the Liao navy.
There is also a special weapon for these pirates, similar to the bed crossbow of the Song Kingdom, but it is not the same, it is very powerful, not only can hit stones, but also can shoot spears, and if you hit too much, there will be cracks in the hull, and if one is not good, it will crack.
Yelulian wanted to run out sideways, he wanted to see how many pirate ships there were outside, if there were fewer ships on the other side, there was still some hope to run away, if it was similar to his own, then he could only fight hard.
At this moment, there was another "boom" sound from the hull of the ship, and Yelu Lianheng was almost shaken to the ground, and his arm slammed into the wooden wall of the building, and a crack appeared in the wooden wall with a rattling sound.
Lingbing ran down again with a crying voice: "Commander, you can't run away, you can't turn around and come back to the state at all." ”
Yelu grabbed the placket of the soldier's shirt horizontally: "Why can't you turn your head?" ”
The soldier said with a panicked face: "Command, outside, outside......"
He was speechless in panic, and Yelulian pushed him to the side fiercely, and he quickly ran out of the cabin to take a look, and suddenly there was a "buzzing" sound in his head, and it was blank, and he saw that the sea outside was full of pirate warships on all sides......
More than half an hour later, Yelu Lianheng was tied up and knelt in front of Zhao Tan, he was covered in blood, and there was a deep scar on his face, and he was turning out the scarlet flesh at the moment.
The Jinzhou water camp was completely annihilated, and more than half of the nearly 1,000 sailors died, and the remaining four or five hundred people were all captured.
The pirates were also injured, dozens of people were killed and more than a hundred wounded.
But this result was somewhat unexpected by Zhao Ta, in the face of the Liao soldiers, who were far superior to their own in terms of number and strength, under the bombardment of the ballistas, they did not choose to surrender at the first time, but instead had a round of fighting with the pirates, until the last knife and gun were on the neck, and then they threw down their blades and fell to the ground.
These Liao soldiers want to run when they see the enemy at first sight, and if they can't run, they will fight hard, and then surrender, Zhao Ta thought about it, if it was the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, the second step would probably be omitted, but the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty didn't know, after all, he hadn't really come into contact with the Western Army, and those were all Fan Fan miscellaneous soldiers when they were in Longyou.
"What's your name?" Zhao Ta looked at Yelulian Hengdao in front of him.
Yelu Lian crossed his neck and said, "Yelu Lianheng!" ”
Zhao Ta looked at him with an angry expression, but answered his own question, couldn't help frowning, and continued to ask, "What official position do you hold in the water camp?" ”
Yelulian said: "Commander of the Jinzhou Water Camp Army, if there is anything else to ask, just ask it together!" ”
Lei Laohu next to him said: "Childe, this Liao people are also strange, they look stinky, but they ask what to say, isn't this sick?" ”
Zhao Ta shook his head and sighed: "But you don't understand, it's not that you are sick, it's hard to subdue them, that's why they are willing to say it, otherwise, even if he catches him with a trick, he won't say it so easily." ”
Lei Laohu wondered: "Childe, didn't you say that you should convince people with virtue?" Why do these Liao people rely on fighting? ”
Zhao Ta said: "You don't know, some countries eat this set in foreign countries, so don't talk to them about virtue, just beat them hard, hurt them, and they can obey you, Yelu Lianheng, am I right or not?" ”
Yelu even twisted his head: "You can't beat you, naturally everything you say is right!" ”
Zhao Ta looked at him with a smile and said, "Yelu Lianheng, let me ask you, since you have been captured by me, do you want to die or live?" ”
