Zhuang Shaoyou led the fleet to extinguish the fire while sailing at the fastest speed, and actually rushed out to the mouth of the Mazi Water in one breath, and after entering the sea, he was finally out of danger, and the fleet slowly berthed to the west bank, stopped, and all the soldiers were paralyzed on the boat, and they didn't even have the strength to get off the boat.

Seeing this, Zhuang Shaoyou was also relieved, it was really terrible just now!

If it weren't for the temporary change of formation, it would definitely be too late to turn around, if it wasn't for the patrolman's reminder, I might not have noticed, if I didn't know that it was oil, if it wasn't for the amazing speed of the ship built by the Mo family, if it wasn't for the north wind blowing today, if it wasn't for my own whim to go to the bow of the boat to see, if not......

The more Zhuang Shaoyou thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he almost died in the sea of fire, this Goguryeo is not a good stubble! I am not a god, I can't anticipate the enemy's opportunity, there are too many uncertain factors on this battlefield, and a small detail can determine the outcome of a battle! As a manager, you must always have a heart of reverence for the battlefield, no matter what kind of opponent you face, no matter what kind of results you have achieved, you must be humble and cautious!

If he and his men and these ships were all burned to the fire, the ship would fall apart in an instant.

Zhuang Shaoyou calmed down, and when he saw that everyone had gathered on the deck, they all looked happy for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, Hua Xin was the first to speak: "Congratulations to the general Hongfu Qitian, if you don't die in a catastrophe, you will have a blessing!" Everyone else came forward to congratulate them

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if you are blessed or not, as long as everyone is safe and sound, it is already a blessing!" What about the losses? ”

Ink came forward and said: "General, fortunately, we saw the opportunity early, and the losses were not too big, but there were still more than twenty soldiers who were burned to death while fighting the fire, and the sterns of the four ships were burned, except for this four-masted warship because it was strong so it could barely fight, the other three three-masted warships could no longer fight!" Moreover, the manpower oars of all warships were damaged to varying degrees, which were overused before! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou frowned, he ran so fast that he still made the three ships lose their combat effectiveness, if he saw the opportunity half a minute later, wouldn't it be burned to ashes? But I still quickly sorted out my head and said:

"The three damaged ships stay here to reinforce them, and then go back to the city! The rest of the boats will follow me back to Xi'an Ping to check, and Goguryeo must not be allowed to take the opportunity to cross the river! ”

It is said that Zhuang Shaoyou's boat was burned and fled overnight, and the soldiers on both sides of the strait saw it, Gongsun Yan, Tai Shici and Zhang San all had solemn expressions, and their hearts were very worried, if this sailor was destroyed, then Goguryeo would cross the river again sooner or later, and how to hold Xi'an Ping was really a big problem at that time.

Tai Shici was the first to speak: "General Gongsun, Captain Zhang, before we get the news of General Zhuang, we must strictly guard the west bank, and we must not let the Goguryeo army come over!" ”

Zhang San took the lead in agreeing, and Gongsun Yan thought for a moment and agreed, a few days ago, the Goguryeo naval division was seriously damaged, and the ability to cross the river was weakened a lot, and now there are more than 10,000 people here, and it is not a big problem to prevent the enemy from crossing the river!

Goguryeo camp, Gao Nanwu big tent

Gao Nanwu's right hand slapped heavily on the desk, shaking the things above and shaking, and the ministers below were all silent.

"You say, how did those Han soldiers find out? Did any of you collaborate with the enemy? If I find out, wipe out! ”

Gao Nanxi stood at the bottom, without saying a word, although he lowered his head and made a deferential appearance, but his heart was secretly proud, didn't you say that I was a waste? Now that your 70,000-strong army has been defeated by more than 10,000 people, and has suffered heavy losses, what a foolproof plan has only burned a few boats, now look at where you put your face!

Shi Zhan looked left and right, and no one had the intention of opening his mouth, so he shook his head helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's time to withdraw now!" If we delay outside for too long, they will have any movements, and then we will fall into a two-front battle, which will be a great disadvantage! ”

"No! Lone can't just withdraw like that! When Lone went on the expedition, he swore that he would be ashamed, sweep Liaodong, and defeat Gongsun Du, but now he was defeated without even seeing the shadow of Gongsun Du, where do you put Lone's face? ”

Shi Zhan sighed secretly, and then persuaded: "Your Majesty, you can bend and stretch out your way to be a big husband!" It's not too late for you to take revenge for ten years! We went back to fight hard and fought again next year, this time it was the weakness of the sailors, so that we had tens of thousands of heroes and were helpless!

When we go back, we should vigorously develop the water division, this horse water is the strategic lifeblood of our country, and it is imperative to develop the water division! Please think again, Your Majesty! The major affairs of the country of soldiers, the way of survival in the land of death and life must not be overlooked! ”

"Humph! Why is it that Mr. Shi's words are always so beautiful to say, but always unsatisfactory to do? If it recedes like this, how will my Goguryeo face remain? Brother Huang, the younger brother thinks he should cross the river and fight again! Seeing this, Gao Nanxi on the side hurriedly fanned the flames.

Shi Zhan didn't respond to Gao Nanxi, but sighed in his heart, how come this prince doesn't know the general situation at all, his head is full of intrigues and tricks, and they are all bad ideas! Always thinking about making Gao Nanwu suffer, if such a prince really becomes a king, then Goguryeo is really hopeless! ”

At this moment, a scout entered the big bill and knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty! Liaodong Communication! Three days ago, Gongsun Du didn't know what method he used, crossed the Xiaoliao River, attacked the Wuhuan camp at night, and the Wuhuan army was defeated and returned! King Wuhuan was injured and fled! Tens of thousands of losses! ”

Gao Nanwu was originally very angry, but he was half angry when he heard the analysis of Shihan, he just wanted to find a step down, and when he heard Gao Nanxi's incitement, he was completely sober, this younger brother is really helpless, and he is very talented! Now I heard the battle report from Liaodong again, and sighed secretly, the time has been lost, and I can't fight anymore, so I can only withdraw!

So, Gao Nanwu, who had made a decision, smiled and said to Gao Nanxi: "Brother Wang, you really understand the righteousness, and your suggestion is very lonely!" Aren't you always clamoring for revenge? Then it's up to you to lead the troops to attack Xi'an Ping, defeat the Han army, and avenge the capture last year? ”

Gao Nanxi was immediately furious when he heard this, last year's events were well known in Goguryeo, and it had been a whole year, and he couldn't even raise his head in the royal capital, this damn Gao Nanwu actually revealed his old scars again!

Although Gao Nanxi was angry, he couldn't say a word, and he held back for a long time and popped out two words: "Don't go!" ”

Gao Nanwu glanced at him, and his face was solemn: "Everyone, Gu and Brother Wang agree on the same opinion, revenge must be avenged!" But not now, let's immediately go back to fight hard, develop a naval army, and fight again next year! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou led three warships to the north, and when he arrived at the water near Xi'anping, it was already the morning of the next day, and he was relieved to see that the Goguryeo camp on the east bank was empty, and then landed on the shore to discuss the defense plan and contact methods with Gongsun Yan, Tai Shici, Zhang San, etc., and then rested for a day in Xi'anping, and began to return on March 23.

From the beginning of Goguryeo's attack on Xi'an Ping to the withdrawal of troops from both sides, nearly 100,000 troops from both sides fought fiercely near Xi'an Ping in the lower reaches of Mazi Shui, and there were losses to each other, but they were not too big.

The losses of the Goguryeo side were mainly the infantry on the west bank, and the forward general Yi Chengzhu escaped with wounds, and the 15,000 infantry were annihilated by more than 8,000 people, and the rest were scattered.

The Goguryeo navy lost more than half of its 3,000 sailors, more than 1,500 killed, 20 warships, 17 of its dhows sunk and 3 captured, 4 brigs sunk and 2 captured, and hundreds of ordinary ships were lost.

Zhuang Shaoyou directly captured five warships to Gongsun Yan, the general of Xi'an Ping, Gongsun Yan suddenly had a great impression, and the warships in Xi'an Ping were not even comparable to Goguryeo's, only a few dilapidated dhow warships, which could not fight at all, and now they have finally improved a little, and their tactics can be more flexible.

The losses of Zhuang Shaogu's army were much smaller, the Taishici cavalry battalion lost nearly 500, and Zhang San's infantry battalion suffered very little losses because it joined the battle later, and only suffered more than 100 casualties.

The 5,000 defenders of Xi'an Ping were attacked by Goguryeo for four days, plus the infantry who participated in the encirclement and suppression of Li Chengzhu, a total of nearly 2,000 men and horses were lost, which was a heavy loss.

In the Battle of Xi'anping, the Han army of Liaodong lost about 2,000, and the Goguryeo army lost nearly 10,000, with a battle loss ratio of one to four.
