Chapter 317: The Transformation of Goguryeo (5)

Gao Nanxu was furious, and he suffered losses repeatedly, and the main fleet had already lost nine warships! But for now, you still have the advantage! Just after the engagement, several warships of Zhuang Shaoyou's division were also damaged in hulls and their maneuverability declined. Catch up and kill them!

Not long after, Gao Nanxu saw the mouth of the strait in front of him, and he was ruthless, and ordered the fleet to assault at full speed, four ships in a column, advancing in unison, fighting to lose the first wave of the four ships to rush out, as long as the short combat is connected, you can still win!

Zhuang Shaoyou carefully observed the formation of the Goguryeo army, and immediately ordered that only rockets should be released in the first round, and the Goguryeo strikers should be lit, and the bed crossbows and ballistas should not be launched, and they should prepare to attack the Goguryeo rear team!

Four Goguryeo warships marched in unison and rushed out of the mouth of the strait, and the six warships in the front were launched at the same time, and the rocket ballista fired rapidly, setting all four warships on fire, but the Goguryeo army was not completely unprepared, and the soldiers on board were busy putting out the fire.

The rockets of the second flotilla were also launched, killing many Goguryeo soldiers who were extinguishing the fire, and the fire finally began to burn. But the four ships were separated from the left and right, activated the human oars, and leaned at full speed to both sides, apparently to make way for the rear fleet.

In the second round, four warships came, and Zhuang Shaoyou ordered that the warships should be in full swing to suppress this wave of Goguryeo army! Buy time for the rocket ballista!

The second round of Goguryeo warships thought that there was a scapegoat in front of them, as long as they tried to charge, they would soon meet each other, but they did not expect that they were greeted by even more tragic giant crossbows, although the four warships did not catch fire, but the hull was full of holes, and the water began to leak to varying degrees, and the speed of the ship dropped significantly.

At this moment, after the rocket ballista was loaded, it couldn't wait to land, this time, it was even more accurate than just now, and the slow-moving Goguryeo warship was sturdy and suffered a round of rockets, the horizontal and longitudinal sails caught fire one after another, the hull leaked, and the sails caught fire, and the end can be imagined!

Seeing this, Gao Nanxu flew into a rage and ordered a third round of charge, and this time, Goguryeo concentrated six warships.

Seeing this, Zhuang Shaoyou's expression was solemn, he hesitated, and still ordered the whole army to retreat south! Gao Nanxu is already crazy, don't fight hard with crazy people, it's enough to take advantage of today, let's go!

In the third round of Goguryeo's charge, six warships smashed away the four warships that had lost their ability to maneuver, and then pursued them in the direction of Zhuang Shao's guerrillas, and then the remaining nineteen warships rushed out and pursued them under the command of Gao Nanxi.

But Zhuang Shao's guerrilla army was one step ahead, and the speed of the ships on both sides was the same, so it was impossible to catch up at all!

More than an hour later, the sky was already white.

Gao Nanxu sat on the deck dejectedly, his eyes staring at the sky unwillingly. In last night's battle, under the command of Gao Nan's quick success, the Goguryeo naval division suffered heavy losses, not only suffered a big loss on the eastern front, but also suffered a worse fate on the western front!

"Withdraw, my lord! If the sailors are all here, then our country will definitely be greatly damaged, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to make a comeback! ”

Gao Nanxu roared angrily, "Why?! Why is that?! What the hell am I doing wrong?! Don't go back! I want revenge! ”

"King, if you lose the water master, the 40,000 horses in Red Cliff Town will be in danger! When the time comes, not to mention revenge, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even protect yourself! Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years! Withdraw, my lord! ”

Under the bitter heart of a cadre's subordinates, Gao Nanxu was unwilling to order a retreat.

The Battle of the Immortal Islands has come to an end.

Goguryeo dispatched 62 four-masted warships, more than 100 small warships, and 20,000 sailors! Zhuang Shaoyou's side dispatched 12 five-masted warships, 22 four-masted warships, and more than 12,000 sailors.

In this battle, a total of eight warships of the Goguryeo naval division sank on the spot, four were captured, 21 warships were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness, and the remaining 29 warships were damaged to varying degrees. More than half of the small warships were lost, more than 3,000 sailors were killed, more than 500 were captured, and countless were wounded.

On the Liaonan naval division, a total of seven warships suffered heavy losses, among which the flagships of Zhuang Shaoyou and Mo 13, and two five-masted warships suffered heavy losses, because they attracted too much firepower, and the rest of the ships were also wounded to varying degrees, with more than 700 dead and more than 2,000 wounded.

After dawn, Zhuang Shaoyou led the fleet to meet with Mo 13 and Mo Yu, and after some discussion, the captured warship and the seriously injured warship were sent back to southern Liaoning to rest, Zhuang Shaoyou changed a flagship, and led the rest of the fleet to support Hongya Town.

In the early morning of the ninth day of the fourth month, Zhuang Shaoyou's fleet arrived in the south of Hongya Town, and received news that the Goguryeo army had retreated! Soon the news was verified by Xi'an Ping's informant.

Last night, the Goguryeo army suddenly withdrew, and went up the river along the horse, looking very panicked, and the Xi'an Pingshou general Gongsun Yan tentatively attacked the Goguryeo army, but the result was that Goguryeo retreated while fighting, and there was no intention of falling in love with war.

Obviously, something happened in Goguryeo!

Zhuang Shaoyou first landed on the shore to inspect Hongya Town, the deputy commander of the second infantry division defending the city, Zhuang Shaoyou's old general Zhang San and his 3,000 men and horses, the Goguryeo attack Hongya Town for a total of two days and two nights, the three thousand defenders in the city were killed nearly 1,000 people, and the rest were all wounded, and the people in the city spontaneously supported the defense of the city, otherwise it is difficult to say whether it can be held!

In the face of the siege of Goguryeo's 40,000 troops, the three-zhang high city wall of the Hongya Town fortress could not be stopped, this is mainly because the fortress has just been repaired, and many supporting weapons have not had time to be installed, and it will definitely be no problem in another month or two.

Zhuang Shaoyou stayed in Hongya Town for two days, but still did not receive news from Goguryeo. Considering that the Goguryeo naval division still had half of the warships, the combat power still existed, and the Goguryeo army was extremely numerous, so the plan to lead the ships up the Mazao River and attack the Marudu Fortress was dismissed.

Two days later, Zhuang Shaoyou returned to Liaonan City, and the people in the city poured out of the nest to welcome and warmly celebrate the triumphant return of the general!

The first thing to do after returning is to compensate the fallen soldiers and reward those who have made meritorious contributions. After this battle, a total of more than 1,500 soldiers were killed, thousands were wounded, more than 5,000 enemies were killed, and 500 were captured.

The 500 captives stayed in Red Cliff Town to work as coolies, digging in the mountains and repairing the city. In the water battle of Changsheng Island, Mo Thirteen made the first contribution, sank three enemy ships, captured three ships, and severely damaged seven ships, and was promoted to brigadier general, but he still remained as the deputy captain of the second brigade of the naval division. Mo Yu was a second merit, sank three enemy ships, captured one, and severely damaged eight, and was promoted to the captain of the first brigade of the naval division, with the rank of brigadier general, and ink was still the commander of the naval division, but no longer served as the captain of the first brigade.

Mo Yu's originally somewhat resentful mood calmed down a little.

On April 12, Zhuang Shaoyou returned to the city of southern Liaoning on the third day. Finally, a message from the Intelligence Division was received.

Gao Yanwei, the youngest brother of the former king of Goguryeo, Gao Nanwu, colluded with Buyeo to launch a coup d'Γ©tat in Marudu Fortress and occupy Marudu Castle. Gao Nanxi returned to the rescue of the division, and fought fiercely with Gao Yanwei for a day and night, Gao Yanxi's soldiers were defeated and retreated, and led his troops to retreat to Longshou Mountain City in the northwest, and Fuyu sent a large army to meet Gao Yanxi, Gao Nanxi's army was exhausted and unable to fight again, so he could only retreat to Marudu.

After this change, the Goguryeo Kingdom was divided into two, and its vitality was greatly damaged.

The princes also experienced the first battle, and the princes' allied forces attacked Luoyang in three ways. More than 70,000 people of the four-way army of Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, Han Fu and Gongsun Zan crossed the river to attack Mengjin, but were blocked by the main force of Dong Zhuo's army headquarters.

Cao Cao, the eastern army, and other princes of Yanyu Prefecture of the Seven Roads attacked Chenggao from the sour dates, but the terrain of Chenggao was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the army of Lu Bu was stationed in Chenggao, blocking the allied forces of the princes of the Seven Roads outside the city.

Yuan Shu and Sun Jian of the South Road had slightly better results, Yuan Shu took Sun Jian as the striker, attacked the defenders of Dong Zhuo in Liang County, and the defenders of Liang County were reinforcements from Xiliang, all of which were small warlords from all walks of life attached to Dong Zhuo's banner, although their combat power was strong, they lacked unified command, so they were defeated and killed by Sun Jian's army of nearly 1,000 people.

At night, Zhuang Shaoyou was still in the study reading the battle report sent by the Intelligence Department, and gradually fell into contemplation.

"Brother Shaoyou, can I come in?"

A sweet voice interrupted Zhuang Shaoyou's contemplation, Zhuang Shaoyou was surprised in his heart, and said casually: "Is it Yingying?" Come on in! ”

Dressed in a pale pink skirt, the light makeup on her face is a little more delicate than usual, obviously after some careful dressing. The chest, which had always been flat, also became uneven. The madness of the past is gone, and only a pair of beautiful eyes with affection and a little shyness remain.

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled slightly: "It's so late, don't go to sleep, what are you doing here?" ”

Gao Yingying's face instantly became rosy, and she lowered her head and played with the corners of her skirt, but she didn't say anything.

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled: "Yingying, if you have something to say, just say it!" I'm still busy here! If it's all right, go back to sleep! ”

Gao Yingying plucked up her courage, raised her head and asked, "Brother Shaoyou, am I good-looking today?" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was stunned, why did he suddenly ask this? immediately said perfunctorily: "It's good-looking, it's so good-looking!" ”

"It doesn't seem to be very sincere!"

"Hehe, how could it be! I do this from the bottom of my heart! ”

"Do you want me, then?"

Gao Yingying lowered her head again. Zhuang Shaoyou was surprised when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Yingying, why are you weird tonight?" Say what you really want to do! Don't mess with this mess! ”

Gao Yingying raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Help my father avenge the king!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou shook his head helplessly: "I don't know how your father died, and I don't know who the enemy is, how can I take revenge?" ”

Gao Yingying said angrily: "It must have been done by a few uncles Wang!" Just kill them all! They're not good people anyway! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou frowned and said: "Yingying, don't mess around, this is a family matter of your Goguryeo royal family, I don't want to take care of it, and I can't take care of it!" ”

"But you're my man too! Goguryeo's horse! ”

Seeing Zhuang Shaoyou fall into silence, Gao Yingying stepped forward, gritted her teeth, fell into Zhuang Shaoyou's arms, and said softly: "Brother Shaoyou, please, now I have nothing, only you can help me!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was still silent, Gao Yingying did not give up, and continued to ask: "Brother Shaoyou, you help me defeat them and send me back to be the queen, our child is the future king!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou pushed Gao Yingying away, and said with a cold expression: "Gao Yingying, let me tell you, I, Zhuang Shaoyou, will never risk the lives of my brothers to do good things for Goguryeo!" There are no doors! Help you unify Goguryeo? Why? After reunification, will Goguryeo invade the Han Dynasty? It's just right to split now! Goguryeo is fighting in the nest, so that there will be no kung fu to invade the Han!

Our children are the kings of the future? Was this helpful? There are so many brothers who turn against each other! Just look at your uncles! Politics is not a trick, and politics is always pursuing cold interests! And the benefit is that you have more and I have less, you live and die! Don't do this in front of me, it's useless!

Also, she is obviously a princess of Taiping, so she has to pretend to be a big girl! Wake up and be yourself! ”

Gao Yingying was reprimanded so cold that her hands and feet were cold, her face was pale, and she ran out crying with a "wow".

Zhuang Shaoyou sighed: "The sixteen-year-old princess already knows how to play so many tricks!" ”
