Chapter 257: The Fall of the Combined Fleet

The banquet in the hall was still going on, but Li Jing excused himself and left the table. When leaving, he motioned to Wang Chong and Lin Wu and asked them to go up and toast Song Xi and the others. Song Xi is actually a little overwhelmed by alcohol, and Li Jing specially transported Wuliangye wine from Shamen Town today to celebrate his success. The 52-degree high-alcohol liquor is not what these people who are in the habit of fermenting low-alcohol liquor can bear at this time. Before, Li Jing toasted Song Xi three cups in a row, each of which was a big cup of three taels, and drank almost a pound of liquor at once.

Later, Lin Wu and the others also stepped forward to toast in turn, and the good wine was on the top, although Song Xi and other generals were also men who had been killed on the battlefield, but they couldn't hold it at all. When Li Jing left, they were already drunk at all, and waved their hands indiscriminately, which could be regarded as a way of knowledge.

Li Jing is also a little drunk, but Li Jing is smarter, and he didn't plan to really fight with these generals from the beginning. Although the wine he drank was also transparent and clear, it was actually a new batch of new varieties of wine from the winery, not made from grain, but from wild fruits and fruits. Li Jing just drank one of the fruit wines, and the peach wine brewed in spring was only 12 degrees.

Plum wine, strawberry wine, plum wine, peach wine, loquat wine, bayberry wine, and mulberry wine are brewed in spring. Summer brewed cherry wine, lychee wine, plum wine, peach wine, wine, nectarine wine, mango wine, watermelon wine, longan wine, passion fruit wine, dragon fruit wine, durian wine, avocado wine. Autumn pomegranate wine, pear wine, pear wine, grapefruit wine, persimmon wine,

In winter, tomato wine, orange wine, orange wine, kumquat wine, and golden jujube wine are brewed. Four seasons brewed star fruit wine, pineapple wine, papaya wine, banana wine, limoncella, coconut wine, melon wine, cantaloupe wine.

The Tang Dynasty already had fruit wine, but the fruit wine of the Tang Dynasty was also fermented wine, and the newly built fruit wine workshop in Shamen Town. However, it is divided into fermented fruit wine and distilled fruit wine. There are even fruits, peels, flowers, etc., soaked in alcohol or liquor to extract dew. or prepared fruit wine with fruit juice and sugar.

These wines range from twelve to twenty-four. It is used to win over those who are not used to distilling highly liquor. In particular, the main market for women and children, the development of this fruit wine, firstly, is to compete for more customers, and secondly, now that the business of the winery is booming, there is indeed too much food consumed every day, and Li Jing is a little reluctant. Food became more and more expensive, so I had to turn my attention to fruit winemaking.

Out of the hall, the long breath of wine, a spring breeze came to his face. Li Jing suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

"Yanai, the Angry Waves Camp is back!" Li Wei received the news just now, and immediately signaled to Li Jing in the hall.

Li Jing wiped his forehead and didn't show any unusual expression. "How's going on over there?" He just asked in a very flat tone.

Li Wei admired Li Jing's composure without shock, and before the battle began, Li Jing had already ordered the Zhenhai Battalion and the Nutao Battalion to be transferred to the sea, preventing them from participating in the opening battle. From the very beginning, he seemed to have been confident in this fight for a long time. The mission of the Zhenhai camp is to recapture the island of Yaobai and immediately capture the warship of Da Xie Yan. and then participated in the offensive to capture Da Xie Yan.

And the Angry Waves Battalion, a sailor battalion composed entirely of pirates from the East Sea of Zhendong. From the very beginning, the pirates who had been laid off were remobilized. Except for a part of the pirates to the Zhenhai camp, all the rest were re-boarded, and even Whitebeard took the old thieves who had retired back into battle.

A hundred boats of all sizes in the Angry Waves Battalion, plus nearly 5,000 people from Minzhuang, set sail ahead of schedule. They did not face the battle, but were arranged by Li Jing to go to the area of Turtle Island to join the reinforcement fleet of Duli Town, where according to Li Jing's orders, they prepared to ambush the defeated Duli Town fleet.

On the Qingnipu side, after Li Jing got the accurate information, he immediately sent someone to pass it on to Li Lingfu. Li Lingfu's ally is also very reliable, and when he was in danger, he immediately personally led the Qingnipu fleet, brought the second chief Juyi, and the third son Juli, and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to the rescue. When they heard at sea that Li Jing told them not to go to Shamen Town, but to stop near Turtle Island to join the Nutao Camp, and wait for the ambush to defeat the fleeing Duli Town Combined Fleet, the third Li Juli couldn't help but laugh: "Why is this Li Jing so arrogant, just a few small victories, and he is already so blind and self-serving." Duli Town and Da Xie Yan nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses came to attack, Li Jing is only a few thousand men and horses, and they are all new troops, we hurried to the rescue, he is not in a hurry at all, but let us wait for the defeat here. ”

Li Juyi was a little more secure, but he was also full of worries. "Is Li Jing too big?"

Li Lingfu was also stunned for a moment when he first heard this request, but then he smiled and said: "Good spirit, he is so confident in Li Jing, I think he must have calculated in this battle." We don't have to worry about him, just wait here for the defeated army in Duli Town according to his request. However, he was arrogant on the surface and believed in Li Jing very much, but he was actually full of worry in his heart.

However, the subsequent result made all his worries come to naught, and also made him full of admiration for Li Jing and have a more different sense.

Before dawn, nearly 10,000 people in Duli Town and Nutao Camp were hiding behind a small reef in the Tao Dao Islands. Just when everyone was a little impatient, the scout speedboat at sea reported that the combined fleet in Duli Town had indeed fled, with 16,000 men and horses and more than 100 warships, and when they returned, only about 60% were left, and it was estimated that there were 10,000 more people who returned.

"How did he do it?" Li Juyi was full of shock, "What about Da Xie Yan, is it also defeated?" ”

"Back to the words of the major general, Da Xie Yan was defeated, I heard that Feng Zhang had died in battle, Feng Xun led the rest of the troops to surrender, and the whole army of Da Xie was annihilated, Li Jing has personally led the troops to Da Xie Li, and the soldiers surrendered the defenders without blood, and now they have taken Da Xie City." Scout returns.

Li Lingfu's father and son looked at each other in great shock. After a long time, Li Lingfu said loudly: "Okay, good fight." General Li Jing has already defeated Duli Town and fled back as he said, and now it is up to us whether we can leave them all behind. Give me the order and strike immediately. And ask the brothers of the Angry Waves Battalion to attack together. ”

Pei You's rate barely left about 10,000 Duli town soldiers hurriedly evacuated from Shikou Wharf. He never thought of it. Salmon Town is so hard to bite. At the beginning, he successfully captured Yanglizi Island, and even took more than half of the Shikou Wharf, and it seemed that he could capture the Wharf with a little more force, and then take Shamen Town directly. No one expected that at this time, the Shamen Town Army would continue to pour out of the ground, just like the hateful gophers, everywhere and everywhere.

It caught them off guard at once. Then the crossbow arrows, the cannons, and even those ghost fires suddenly became violent, and they were more than several times denser than they began. Immediately he understood that he had been tricked, when his subordinates urgently reported that the sheep had been recaptured by the Shamen Town Army. Pei You immediately understood the unfavorable situation and immediately ordered a retreat. However, the counterattack of the Shamen army was even more fierce than he expected, with strong bows and crossbows, and a large number of Mo knife men, with the help of the cannons and ghost fires, they were defeated and retreated. Especially when the arrow towers and bastions on the docks were recaptured by the Shamen army from the underground passages, they were completely at a disadvantage.

In the end, he broke his wrist and abandoned his pawn to protect the car. After making a promise to reward the families of the soldiers in the palace. Only after barely leaving 3,000 people to cover the palace, he fled from Salmon Island. 16,000 people. Only 10,000 people remained.

"Quick, speed up!" Pei You shouted as he stood on the huge battleship. Although he had fled Salmon Island, he always felt uneasy in his heart. He knew that there was a powerful fleet in Shamen Town, and he had not seen this fleet from beginning to end, which made him very uneasy. Now he just wanted to get back to the town of Tori quickly, away from here.

However, his hunch was right, Li Jing didn't think about letting them go back in the first place. Although the main target of this battle was Da Xie Yan, since the combined fleet of Duli Town came, he would not let them go back easily.

As soon as the Duli Town fleet arrived at Turtle Island, Li Lingfu's Qingnipu fleet and the fleet of the Nutao Battalion fought out together, intercepted the retreat of the combined fleet, rushed left and right, and quickly crashed into the group of warships of the combined fleet.

10,000 people in Qingnipu and Donghai Town against 10,000 people in Duli Town, but one side is waiting for work with ease and high morale. On the other hand, he fled all the way here, panicking and demoralized. The two sides fought, and the results were self-evident. Li Lingfu and Zhen Donghai were left and right, killing and slashing, and Pei You, who was killed, couldn't resist.

By the time it was almost dawn, nearly thirty percent of the warships had sunk in Duli Town, and three percent were taken away after the defeat of the broadside, leaving less than forty percent of the warships to flee for their lives in the left and right, and they were bitten by the enemy ships fiercely, and chased and fought.

Seeing that they had fled to the vicinity of Wuhu Island, the Combined Fleet was once again surrounded and was on the verge of annihilation. The receiving fleet led by Wang Pu, the lord of Duli Town, finally arrived, Wang Pu led more than 100 merchant ships, and moved a large number of people, who were originally going to Shamen Town to receive the loot and come back. No one expected that when he arrived halfway, he actually saw that his combined fleet had less than twenty warships left, and it was still besieged.

Regardless of the shock of what had happened, Wang Pu immediately ordered the fleet to rush over to respond.

Li Lingfu waited for the naval battle in the middle of the night, and there were many casualties, and at this time, when he saw Duli Town coming to respond, he only saw more than 100 boats, and he didn't know how many falsehoods and realities. Li Lingfu was unwilling to take the risk, so he let go of the remaining dozen or so combined fleet ships, gave the order to leave the battle, and slowly retreated.

Although Pei You, who broke away from the battle and escaped with one life, received reinforcements, he didn't dare to turn back at all. After joining Wang Pu, he hurriedly withdrew to Duli Town with the remnants of a dozen boats and less than 2,000 people. Li Lingfu, Whitebeard and others achieved a great victory, almost completely annihilating the combined fleet of Duli Town in the first battle, killing more than 3,000 enemies, capturing at least 4,500 people, sinking more than 30 enemy ships, and capturing almost 40 or 50 warships.

The victorious Li Lingfu did not return directly to Qingnipu, but accepted the invitation of Whitebeard and led the fleet back to Shamen Town.

"Happy, donkey ball's combined fleet, isn't it just relying on a lot of money, and has always thought that the giant ship cannons, suppressing our Qingnipu can't raise its head at sea, and even bullying our Qingnipu port again and again, often blockading our port. The donkey ball finally capsized in the gutter today, and the fleet of 20,000 people, in just over a month, there were only about a dozen boats left, about 2,000 people, less than one in ten. It's so exciting, it's so exciting. Li Lingfu stood on the deck, a pair of big hands kept slapping the female wall on the ship, looking up to the sky and smiling.

In the past ten years of his tenure, he has been in charge of the past ten years, with offense instead of defense, although relying on the control of the crane army to repeatedly defeat Duli Town, but in the end, they still can't make a fleet that can match the combined fleet, they can only be pressed and beaten, and they are retaliated by the combined fleet blockade of the port in Duli Town at every turn, and the losses are huge.

Now, this arrogant fleet is finally finished.

"Li Jing is not simple! Father, he had already planned in advance, and he was confident that he could defeat the United Fleet and Feng Zhang. Things are as he expected, now Feng Zhang died in battle, Da Xie Yan was occupied by him, the combined fleet of Duli Town was defeated and fled, and he arranged in advance for me to intercept and annihilate him halfway. This Li Jing won the battle before the battle, and he was strategizing. It's a terrible strategic arrangement, and it seems that he has never been defeated since he led his troops. He has been in office for less than half a year in Shamen Town, and he is already so powerful, and given time, it will be even more incredible. Li Juyi said with a sigh on the side.

Even Li Juli, who has always been unruly, couldn't refute these words. In this battle, although they almost wiped out the combined fleet, what made them sigh even more was the arrangement made by Li Jing who had already anticipated all this in advance.

Li Lingfu also sighed in his heart, his three sons are already good, they can go into battle to kill the enemy at the age of ten, and they can lead the army at the age of twenty. But Li Jing is also in his early twenties, but he has already achieved such achievements, and in comparison, the three sons are too far apart.

"Give birth to a son like Li Jiyu!" Li Lingfu sighed, turned his head to his two sons and said, "Fortunately, Li Jing is our ally." Although Li Jing is powerful, I think he is still affectionate. Remember, if you are not a last resort, do not make an enemy of Li Jing. It's best to be friends with him. ”

"But Li Jing is so powerful, with his ability, I'm afraid that little Shamen Town, and even Da Xie Yan won't be able to tolerate him. After he has full wings, I am afraid that he will not be satisfied with the status quo and will have other ideas. "The second son thinks more and thinks farther.

"If Li Jing is really not a thing in the pool, and he turns into a dragon when he encounters a storm, then on that day, we can choose to stand with him." After Li Lingfu pondered for a long time, he said slowly, his tone full of complexity. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
