Chapter 807: Disagreement and Confrontation
From Liaokou, it only takes 300 miles to cross Liaodong Bay and arrive in western Liaoning. The sea vessels travel very fast, and in the case of a good wind, this distance can be reached in just one day and night.
In the early morning of the next day, almost at the same time that Gongsun Du saw Li Min, the lookout on the flagship of the Liaodong Navy Division saw the coastline and reported it to Yang and Liu.
The second general immediately ordered people to land in a small boat, and first determined the specific location of the present. When they received the report and found that the fleet was in the area between Tang Zhushui and White Wolf Shui, the two generals suddenly had a disagreement.
Yangyi advocated continuing to march westward, occupying Taohuapu, which was later known as Xingcheng Chrysanthemum Island, using the cover of the island to set up an ambush, ambushing the transport fleet in Qingzhou, and capturing as many ships and sailors as possible.
Liu Yi certainly disagreed.
Although the ambush can take advantage of the initial situation, the responsibility for the first provocation is very serious. According to his idea, anyway, the supply of the sailor division is enough, so he simply pulls out a blockade line in the same place, so that the supply ships in Qingzhou cannot pass, and if someone forcibly breaks through, they will be seized again, and the Qingzhou army will be forced to negotiate openly.
For this reason, the two quarreled fiercely, but neither could overpower anyone. Others don't dare to persuade, and they can't persuade them, they all know that these two are old enemies, old enemies, and they usually have nothing to do.
This quarrel lasted for most of the hour, and it was so dark that it was difficult to insolve, and if it had not been for the lookout to report back again, informing them that a fleet was approaching. The two of them still won't give up.
"Fleet? From the east? Is it a returning ship, or is it a ......" Yang Yi asked in disbelief, "How many ships are there?" ”
"There are twelve of them. It seems that our army should have been discovered, but there is no intention of avoiding or turning! The lookout replied truthfully.
"Twelve......" Yang Yi nodded. Turning to Liu Yi, he asked with a sneer: "General Liu, people have come to the door, and when they saw us, they didn't mean to dodge, so they rushed over with such a swagger...... Hey, what now? If you're a vulgar and reckless person, you'd better come up with a charter. ”
Liu Yi knew that Yang Yi was a joke about himself with a pure heart, and he was indeed very dissatisfied with the attitude of no one in the eyes of the Qingzhou army, and the tone of his answer was naturally a little blunt: "The soldiers will block." The water comes to cover the earth, and it is impossible to let them break through! I have dealt with many Qingzhou generals, and if I meet an acquaintance, I don't look good, this time there will be General Lao Yang. ”
"Well said, well said." Having the upper hand, Yang Yi was not too much of a deal, smiling and smiling, and strode out of the cabin. Raise your arms and shout: "Drumming!" Raise the flag! Array, meet up, take them all! ”
"Whoa!" The Chinese army responded to the order, and the standard-bearer waved the military flag vigorously. Pass the command out.
Nearly two hundred ships moved at the sound of the sound, centering on Yangyi's flagship and stretching out in two directions, east and west. Like a white crane proudly spread its wings.
"Liaodong Sailor, really elite." Wei Yan smacked his tongue slightly.
The technical content of the ship array. It can be much higher than the formation of soldiers and horses, and you can see each other from both sides. By the time the Liaodong Army formed a crane wing formation, there was only a stick of incense, and during this period, the distance between the two fleets had just been shortened by half. This hand alone is enough to show that the quality of the Liaodong Navy Division is above that of the Qingzhou Navy.
This is not surprising, the formation of the Liaodong Naval Division, which can be traced back to the Han Wu era hundreds of years ago, has a fairly long tradition. Even if it is only counted from Gongsun Du, the existence of this water division has been more than 20 years, and the Qingzhou water division, which is mainly based on transportation after the formation of the army, is naturally not the same.
"What's the use of just lining up neatly, that's two hundred ships, not to mention a four-like crane wing array, even if they let them discharge a deadly scissors, how can they withstand me?" Tai Shi Ci scoffed.
The generals of the Liaodong Naval Division and the sailors who operated the boats were indeed very powerful, and the crane wing array that was discharged could indeed bluff a layman like Wen Chang. But naval warfare is not a land battle, and even if there is a good formation, it is useless to not be able to bring it into play.
The Crane Wing Formation is good for long-range attacks, and it is also conducive to deploying forces to encircle the enemy. But the question is, is it possible for the Liaodong Army to have long-range weapons that can exert their power from a distance of several hundred steps? In addition, naval warfare relies on the direction of the wind and the current, but you can't go in which direction you want to go, you can get through, and even if you can walk through, you may not have time to go, right?
Unless the opposite is also a layman, this crane wing array is a kind of goods.
Tai Shi Ci smacked his lips and sighed regretfully: "What the lord said is right, the Liaodong Navy Division also does not have much experience in naval warfare. The trouble now is that you can't let go of your hands and feet to fight, otherwise it will be much simpler. That's okay, Wen Chang, you stay here to press the formation, and I'll go over and say hello first. ”
As he spoke, he ordered the boat to be released, let Wei Yan change boats, and prepare to move forward in a single boat.
"There's a thunderbolt staring at you here, I have to stare at you, if there is a real fight, I can also be a witness in front of the lord in the future, right?" Wei Yan shook his head like a drum, how could he comply.
Although the fire was very cool two days ago, it was not enough to watch it from the sidelines. Looking at the posture of the Liaodong Army, it will definitely be difficult to be good for a few days, if Tai Shici is allowed to go over alone, and then fight, won't he only be able to watch the excitement again?
Tai Shi Ci couldn't resist him, and he didn't bother to say much, waved his hand, and gave instructions very simply: "Send the order to Captain Chen, and I will hand it over to him here, if there is an accident, I will beat his mother according to the established plan, and he Wenchang has his own way to get out, so don't worry about it." ”
The Qingzhou fleet slowed down in response, and except for Tai Shici's flagship who accelerated forward, the other ships all dismounted their half-sails and lined up in a horizontal line, following behind and slowly moving forward.
……
"It's coming......" Yang Yi took a deep breath.
"Who's coming?" Liu Yi raised his head and asked the lookout.
"It's the Qingzhou Hidden Fog Army, there are two general flags, and they have Taishi and Wei ...... respectively."
"Phew!" The two generals gasped in unison, Yang Yi's reaction was even faster to the extreme, and before the lookout's words fell, his order had already shouted: "Don't let them continue to come over, let them stop the ship a stone's throw away, and order the left and right guards to defend the flagship!" ”
Liaodong is relatively closed, and although the Qingzhou generals have a good reputation, they are not yet well-known in Liaodong. However, Tai Shici is different, firstly, he has stayed in Liaodong for a few years, relying on his martial arts, and has made a lot of fame, and secondly, he attacked Yan Rou at night a few days ago, and defeated Yan Rou's 7,000 army with 500 strong men, and his reputation has spread throughout Liaodong.
You must know that Yan Rou is a well-known tycoon, and her archery and martial arts are well-known both inside and outside the border fortress. Just by defeating Yan Rou, Tai Shi Ci was enough to make a name for himself in Liaodong.
In the water warfare of this era, there are only a few routines back and forth, using a bow and arrow when it is far away, hitting it with a boat when it is close, or jumping off the boat for white-knuckle combat. The power of the bow and arrow is limited, it is difficult to kill a large number of enemies, the risk of hitting with a ship is high, the hit rate is low, and the most efficient is white-knuckle combat.
The loading of ships is limited, and the scale of local white-knuckle battles usually does not exceed two hundred, after all, the size of the ships is very large, and two flanking one is already considered the limit. One ship has more than 50 soldiers, and three ships are less than 200 people.
In a battle of this scale, the role of the fierce general will be exerted to the extreme!
If there is no strong hand in charge, it is not possible for Tai Shici to sweep away a warship alone.
At present, there is a huge disparity in the number of the two armies, although Yang Yi is somewhat confident in martial arts, but he will not be arrogant enough to think that he can compete with Tai Shi Ci, and there is a Wei Yan on the other side - although Yang Yi does not know much about Wei Yan, but how can he say that the latter is also a person on the same level as Tai Shi Ci, how can he not worry that Tai Shi Ci will give him a thief to capture the king first?
Liu Yi felt that this was a bit self-defeating, but thinking that now was not the time to quarrel, he could only acquiesce.
The flag was raised, and the formation of the Liaodong Navy Division changed again, two rows of oars stretched out on both sides of the flagship, rowed hard, and the hull slowly retreated, and the five warships on each side moved forward in unison, forming two rows, firmly protecting the flagship. On one of the foremost ships, someone shouted: "Come to the ship and stop, first explain the identity of the intention, and then go forward!" ”
"Donglai Tai Shi Ci and Nanyang Wei Wenchang are here, Qingzhou and Liaodong are originally allies, and your army is not at ease in Liaodong, and suddenly came to Liaoxi, blocking our army's way, and putting on this weak and timid appearance, but why?"
Tai Shi Ci shouted loudly, and the sound spread far away, echoing endlessly on the empty sea, which actually made most of the Liaodong fleet hear it clearly, and everyone who heard it changed color.
Yang Yi gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do for a while.
His mid-air is not so sufficient, and after retreating a distance, even if he shouts, the other side may not be able to hear it. Moreover, Tai Shi Ci saw the opportunity too quickly, and took the opportunity of the Liaodong flagship to retreat, and asked a question, which was also justified and imposing, and Yang Yi could not explain the twists and turns in public, and it was not helpful to counterpressure the other party.
Of course, seeing that morale was so low was not a solution, he turned to Liu Yi and asked, "General Liu, what should I do now?" ”
"No way." Liu Yi shook his head, very dissatisfied with Yang Yi's lustful inwardness, if he hadn't retreated so quickly, he wouldn't have let the family have the upper hand with a word: "If you want to turn the situation back, only one of you and I will go to Tai Shici's ship." How is it? Do you go or do I go? ”
"This ......" Yang Yi looked embarrassed, he was not afraid of war with Qingzhou, but he attached great importance to his own life, where did he dare to send sheep into the tiger's mouth?
Liu Yi knew that this would be the case, he flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Okay, it's okay to go this way." As he spoke, he didn't look at Yang Yi, ordered the boat to be released, and prepared to negotiate alone.
Yang Yi was angry when Liu Yi saw it at the last glance, and he couldn't take care of it for a while, and said angrily: "Hugh has to look down on people, General Liu, go with you!" Let's see if it's more heroes in Qingzhou, or if I'm from Liaodong who are more courageous! (To be continued......)
