(The first shift, a little late, the second shift, until the early hours of the morning!) ）

After abandoning the camp fort at the northern foothills, Su Tingzhan led his troops to retreat into the dense forest at the northeast foot of Jinji Mountain, relying on his familiarity with the terrain of Jinji Mountain and the East Peninsula, and still had a few days of rations to support, and he was not worried about the current situation.

Before nightfall, Chen Huawen led his troops to Daheng Island to unite, Lin Tie and Chen Huawen changed guards, and borrowed the Haiyu Township Battalion to defend Daheng Island, and he did his best to board the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army to board the ship and want to go north, Su Tingzhan saw it clearly in the mountains, and naturally guessed that the overall situation in eastern Zhejiang had been decided, so Lin Tie was forced to rush to transfer the elite to stabilize the situation around Chongzhou.

Although Su Tingzhan did not know whether the second prince had made progress in the main attack on Changshan Island on the northern front, compared to the overall situation, the northern line was only a side branch. If the northern front goes well, the second son will just be able to open up the situation on the northern front; If it doesn't go well, the second son will always be in the shadow of the eldest son - for the luxury family as a whole, the impact is not great.

The north cliff sentry post lit the beacon smoke wolf smoke to warn, and Su Tingzhan was observing the movement of the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army's boat division on a branch of the cliff, and he was the first to see the fleet led by the second prince to attack south.

Even if Su Tingzhan hoped that the second prince would suffer some setbacks on the northern front, he didn't expect that he would be so unfavorable, just in time to collide with the fleet of the Jiangdong Left Army Boat Division as it unfolded along the North Beach, and he would not be so passive a moment earlier or a moment later.

Of course, the extravagant flying tiger intended to penetrate the ship formation of the Jiangdong Left Army Boat Division and land on the beach, but from Su Tingzhan's angle, he saw that the second son commanded the fleet to attack the flank of the Jiangdong Left Army Boat Division at full speed.

The flank of the flank of the flank of the Jiangdong Left Army Boat Division was to go eastward along the waters of Beitan, and the flank of the flank of the flank was extremely thin, and the encounter could not be avoided. Even if the warship was weak, the Jiangdong Left Army was a crushing victory if it wanted to win.

Su Tingzhan subconsciously grabbed the saber, and secretly said that as long as the second prince can fight the main force of the northern front with all his heart, and consume the mobile combat power of the Jiangdong Left Army at sea, there will be no strength to compete with the luxury family in the East China Sea, and Pingjiang Mansion, Hailing Mansion, Jiangkou, Huaikou, and the two Huaiyan areas will all be placed under the threat of the luxury family's soldiers.

The great strategic advantage will shake the foundation of the imperial court in the southeastern counties to the greatest extent, and will also reduce the pressure on the luxury family to occupy the two Zhejiang and Jiangdong to the greatest extent......

Soon, Su Tingzhan realized that he had a fork in his mind: the main force of the northern front was exhausted, and the second son's own life could not be guaranteed, and the second son would take care of the overall situation, but he was not the kind of person who could sacrifice himself and die generously for the sake of the overall situation.

Su Tingzhan can't accuse the second son of being bold, so if he is him, he is afraid that he will choose it the same way. Even if the second prince was bent on rushing to the beach and landing on the island to preserve his strength, the arrangement of the Jiangdong Left Army seemed to see through this, Su Tingzhan frowned, and secretly said that the second prince was in danger of this battle, but he had to lead the remnants down the mountain to respond.

************

The beacon fire on the north cliff of Jinji Mountain is ignited, in the clear morning light, the black wolf smoke goes straight to the clouds, and the beacon fire burned by eight or nine piles reflects the dim sky on the top of the red mountain.

Yuan Jinsheng and Miao Shuo took a boat to leave the mouth of Jinji Mountain Bay for eleven or twelve miles, and naturally they could see it clearly. After waiting for a while, the sky was brighter, and I faintly saw the huge fleet of ships that were sailing south in the east, and almost in the blink of an eye, the outpost of the fleet engaged the flank of the ship formation of the Jiangdong Left Army at the North Beach—the encounter was so sudden and fierce.

Yuan Jinsheng looked at the young armor soldier and asked, "Cousin, do you want to watch the battle?" ”

The young soldier bowed his head slightly, and said: "Yannan won four battles and four victories, some people say that he was lucky to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, so he was able to become famous - there is an opportunity to watch the battle, naturally not to be missed!" ”

This scaly Chinese New Year's Eve is about thirty years old, tall and strong, but he is the son of Liang Xi, the Duke of Zheng Guo, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Liang, the general of Qinyang, and the captain of the upper cavalry Liang Chengyi, he is also knighted in the year of the weak crown, and he is named the uncle of the city, which is two orders higher than the Jinhai County male who is bound by Lin.

Liang family for more than 200 years are military nobles, Emperor Qingyu was assassinated, Liang Empress Dowager and Liang support Emperor Delong to succeed to the throne, there is a meritorious service, the power is heavier, at the peak, the Liang family is full of one duke, two marquis and five uncles, and the Guyuan Cao family can not be compared.

After the Marquis of Jing'an, Su Hu, the Liang family actually controlled the Jiliao border army for ten years.

In the first battle of Chentangyi, the 200,000 border army collapsed, Jiliao lost all the enemy for thousands of miles, and the power of the Liang family collapsed, and Liang Xi, the Duke of Zheng Guo, and Liang Chengchong, the Marquis of Changxiang, were forced to resign from their posts and return to Qinyang Guanyun to live in seclusion.

Even so, the Liang family actually controlled the military power of the military town of Miyang, and its influence on the northern Henan region was very great, and it had close ties with the palace, and it could rise again at any time, and it was a first-class wealthy family in the Dayue Dynasty.

Liang Chengyi was the person who was introduced to represent the Liang family after his father, brother Liang Xi, and Liang Chengchong were forced to retire - no one thought that Liang Chengyi would be in Yudong Palace at this time, and Liang Chengyi certainly didn't want anyone to know that he was here.

The imperial capital was Yanjing, and Qinyang was closer, but if the capital was moved to Jiangning, the geographical advantage of Yudong would be much more obvious than that of Qinyang (northern Henan Province), which was far away in northern Henan.

The situation in eastern Zhejiang collapsed, and Yudong was directly threatened by the luxury family, and only with the help of the Jiangdong Left Army to establish a defense line on the Shengsi Islands, Yudong could be at ease with the flank, so Yuan Jinsheng and Miao Shuo hurriedly came to see Lin Bin. Liang Chengyi was not worried that others would know him, and he also wanted to see Lin Tie, who was famous all over the world in Yannan in the First World War, so he pretended to be the guards of Yuan Jinsheng and Miao Shuo.

Hearing that Liang Chengyi intended to watch the battle, Yuan Jinsheng instructed the oarsman to turn the bow of the ship and sail to the upwind direction in the southeast direction of the battlefield.

Yuan Jinsheng and his three ships were waiting to go to the north mouth of Qingshi Bay, and Chen Huawen also personally led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses of the Haiyu Township Battalion to take more than 20 warships out of the mouth of the bay, planning to sail to the waters of Beitan to help in the battle as soon as Lin Jian was in need.

Although the boat division of the Jiangdong Left Army had the advantage of warships, when the two armies encountered, the ship formation was stretched too open, and the flanks were thin, and soon the main fleet of the Donghai Koubei Line, which was heading south at full speed, rammed over, and there was hardly any tentative action, and a sea battle of 10,000 people broke out completely in the waters of the north beach of Daheng Island.

After falling into the melee, the boat fleet of the Jiangdong Left Army was quickly cut into two sections, east and west, and it seemed that the situation was even more unfavorable, and the fleet intercepted on the east side was in a downwind direction, and it would be extremely difficult to turn around and counterattack.

Yuan Jinsheng, Miao Shuo, Liang Chengyi and others frowned, and Miao Shuo said: "It's a pity to give him three good ships for nothing." ”

"It seems to be a bit out of place!" Although Liang Chengyi is not proficient in water warfare, but in water warfare and land warfare, the principle of arranging troops is the same. If the flank of the infantry formation was hit so hard and was cut in two, it was not far from collapse, and the water battle might be better, but it was obvious that the boat division of the Jiangdong Left Army was at a disadvantage.

***********

Lin Jian stood on the aft deck, hastily engaged, and the impact of the flanks was unavoidable.

The ship formation was cut into two pieces, and Lin Jian was not much surprised, but said to Zhao Qingshan beside him: "Okay, the first water battalion is now back to you to command!" ”

"Ducks to the island?" Zhao Qingshan asked.

"I don't mind if the Luxury Flying Tiger fights a war of attrition with me in the waters of the North Beach," Lin Jian said with a smile, "I also want to test the combat effectiveness of the Jinghai Sea Battalion in confronting the enemy head-on at sea, but the Luxury Flying Tiger has no determination to sacrifice himself for the overall situation of the Luxury Family, so I will send him to the island!" ”

After the encounter, it seemed to be chaotic, and the Jiangdong Left Army's Boat Division was cut into two sections and was at an inferior advantage, but in fact it was not the case—before the hasty encounter, Lin Jian decisively adjusted the deployment, so that Ge Cunxin led the second water battalion to adjust the direction to the north and extend to the flank to meet the enemy ships; The first water camp is eastbound at full speed.

The place where the flank of the entire boat division is penetrated is actually the junction of the first water camp and the second water camp - the first water camp is intercepted in the east and in the downwind direction; The second water battalion is to be intercepted in the west and to be intercepted in the upwind direction.

In the attack on Daheng Island, there were too many casualties among the generals of the First Water Battalion, and the battle loss ratio exceeded 30%.

Although the number of troops was replenished from the townspeople, the number of war auxiliaries of the First Water Battalion has been reduced to less than 1,000; As a last resort, Lin Jian will not send the First Water Battalion to fight a tough battle, lest the First Water Battalion will not be able to recover its combat strength for a long time.

Lin Jian planned to attack Changshan Island with the second water battalion as the main force, and the nine good ships obtained from the Haiyu Township Battalion and Yudong Miaoshuo were also to strengthen the second water battalion, with the original elite war auxiliaries as the backbone, supplementing the village bravery, and expanding the force to more than 2,000 people - since the encounter was inevitable, it was naturally the second water battalion as the main force of the operation.

At the same time, Zhou Tong and Zhao Hu led the Chongcheng infantry battalion and some villagers to land on the island before the luxury Feihu and establish a beachhead. Due to the fact that there are warships on the outside of the war, the luxury flying tiger can't see the landing action on this side at all.

The situation looked chaotic, but in fact it was very orderly, and the 2nd Water Battalion still used a relatively complete formation to let go of the front line of the beach-grabbing boats in the upwind direction on the west side, and directly pressed its flank and rear; Zhao Qingshan commanded the 1st Water Battalion to adjust the sail mast, course north-east, and disengage.

Extravagant Feihu was bent on seizing the beach and landing on the island in order to preserve as much strength as possible, and he did not have the determination to fight at sea, nor did he see through the layout of the Jiangdong Left Army Boat Division at all, and it seemed that he was rushing to the flank of the Jiangdong Left Army Boat Division, but in fact he made his own flanks exposed under the front of the Second Water Battalion, and its front was eager to seize the beach, but did not take care of and respond to the flanks and rear formations.

Although there were only 30 warships in the 2nd Water Battalion, one Jinhai-class warship, five Jiyun-class warships, and nine warships received from Haiyu Xiangying and Yudong Miaoshuo were all superior to the loach ships with Kou Yi as the main warship in the East China Sea.

After the formation is completely scattered, use the inlaid hook and pallet to connect the side and annihilate the enemy on the scattered ship; The first water camp that first disengaged from contact with the eastward and intercepted the escape of the scattered boat owners, almost all the ships that had not engaged in the battle could only be forced to rush to the beach and land on the island at this time in order to survive.

At the same time, Zhou Tong and Zhao Hu led more than 1,000 people to land on the island at North Beach first, attacking the soldiers who grabbed the beach.

*************

Yuan Jinsheng, Liang Chengyi, and Miao Shuo were also dumbfounded, they originally thought that the Jiangdong Left Boat Division was at a disadvantage, where did they think that the main ship formation of the Koubei Line in the East China Sea would be so fragile?

At this time, they also saw that the intention of the main force of the northern line of the East China Sea was to seize the beach and land on the island, but why could Lin Jian see it early in the morning and make such an arrangement? Even in the Donghai Kouwuxin naval battle, its flank and rear ship formations were too fragile, and they almost did not form a decent resistance.

In a battle of 10,000 people, the forces of both sides were equal, and the victory was decided almost as soon as the battle was engaged, and the rising sun had not yet jumped out from under the sea level, and the situation seemed to collapse too quickly.
