Chapter 779 Goryeo Sea Battle (make up last night)
In Luoyang City, Wu Qi led Wei Wu soldiers to enter this new city, and Chu Tian's sphere of influence officially expanded to Luoyang City to the west.
The originally prosperous Luoyang City had been burned down. Before leaving the new Luoyang City, Lao Qin did not burn Luoyang, but chose to keep Luoyang.
Chu Tian didn't know what Lao Qin was thinking, but it was undoubtedly a good thing not to build another Luoyang city.
"Luoyang City has opened a teleportation array, which will facilitate our movement."
Chu Tian accidentally discovered that the newly built Luoyang City by Lao Qin had returned to the scale of a large city, but it was a pity that the Eastern Han Dynasty Palace without Luoyang City was missing.
"Send the prisoners to Kanto to prevent them from escaping. The states replenish the soldiers who lost them."
Chu Tian directly led the Imperial Guards into the teleportation array and headed to Youzhou.
Tongguan, Lao Qin repeatedly strengthened this place, and the city wall level of Tongguan reached the highest and was indestructible. Tongguan divided Heluo and Guanzhong, and to the west of Tongguan was Guanzhong and to the east was Heluo.
Teams of Qin troops held the chief sword in their hands and crossed the majestic Tongguan and entered Guanzhong.
The Qin army was a little depressed and the battle flag seemed to be low.
"About 40,000 Qin Ruishi, 3,000 Golden Fire Cavalry, 2,000 Flying Bear Army, and 100,000 low-level soldiers were killed. Iron Eagle Ruishi and Iron Harrier, the entire army of the camp was wiped out, and Gao Shun, the leader of the camp, was captured."
Jia Xu reported the lost troops to Lao Qin.
Lao Qin couldn't help but sigh: "The Battle of Mangshan lost at least 150,000 soldiers. The 150,000 soldiers were gone."
A team of soldiers and horses were transferred from Xiliang to Chang'an. They were going to go directly to Luoyang to join forces with Lao Qin, but in the end they were one step late.
"Lord, Zhang Dao, who invaded Liangzhou, has been repelled. The Qiang tribe and Di tribe sent 30,000 troops and 50,000 troops from Liangzhou came to pick him up."
Liangzhou Governor Xie Ai led Xu Huang and Pang De to Tongguan to meet Lao Qin.
The Qiang tribe and the Di tribe nobles stood behind Xie Ai and met Lao Qin.
Lao Qin looked at the surrendered Qiang people and Di nobles, among which Fu Jian, the leader of the Di people, attracted Lao Qin's attention.
At present, Chang'an has a deterrent effect on these tribes in Xiliang, but after Lao Qin was defeated, the attitude of these tribes became very important.
Fu Jian said: "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Please don't care about His Highness the King of Qin. Maybe it will be in time soon."
"Stand to defend Guanzhong, and see if there is a turning point in the mountains and rivers. I will hold a banquet in Chang'an and entertain you. Wang Jian is responsible for invading Luoyang, and Wanyan Zonghan invades Hanoi County, making the Xia army unable to move westward to Guanzhong."
Lao Qin slightly restored his confidence and arranged two commanders to invade the two counties of Yin and Hanoi County, Henan occupied by the Xia army, and disturbed but did not attack, thereby slowing down the pace of the Xia army's attack on Guanzhong.
For Chang'an, Luoyang is an outer line of defense. If you lose the outer line, there is also Tongguan and the Yellow River can defend it.
In Chang'an City, Li Si fell into silence after hearing the Battle of Mangshan.
"Wang Lang, you can go back. I will be reluctant to obey the matter of betraying the King of Qin and surrendering to King of Xia."
Li Si rejected the proposal of the envoy Wang Lang sent by Chu Tian.
Wang Lang was Chu Tian's subordinate when he was in Xuzhou. He had been following Chu Tian for a long time and was sent by Chu Tian to lobby Li Si.
Wang Lang said: "Since Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, the Yellow Turbans have been rampant, the world has been in conflict, the country is in danger of being buried, and the living beings are in a hurry. King Xia cleared the six worlds and swept the eight deserts, all the people were in love, and all directions admired virtue. This is not taken by power, but is actually the fate of fate. If the gentleman surrendered with etiquette, he would not lose his position as a marquis, and the country is safe and happy, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
"Don't say more, come and see off guests."
Li Si threw his robe and asked the guard to send Wang Lang away.
Wang Lang left the Shangshu Mansion and shook his head: "These people are so difficult to convince, and it is difficult for me to complete the task assigned to me by King Xia. I wonder if King Xia will blame him."
...
"Wang Lang lobbying Li Si in Chang'an, but Zhu Jun failed."
In Youzhou Zhuo County, because Ji County was surrounded, Chutian could only teleport to Zhuo County, and then set out from Zhuo County to relieve Ji County.
He learned about the results of Wang Lang's lobbying.
"If they were so easily convinced, there wouldn't be so much trouble. But it doesn't mean that they are unwilling to surrender now..."
Chu Tian disagreed.
Lao Qin's losses would not have led to the collapse of Guanlong, 100,000 in Hedong and 150,000 in Mangshan, and about 250,000 soldiers were killed in Lao Qin's battle.
When the Qin army is truly seriously injured, there will probably be more people who surrender.
"It takes ten days to gather troops and weapons, and I hope Jixian can hold on for ten days."
After a great battle, Chu Tian's soldiers were covered in blood and rested in Zhuo County.
...
In the waters near Lelang County, two fleets met. The Fubo Legion's Dafu ship hit the Ming army's ships. With its size advantage, it overturned the Ming army's ships, and the soldiers and sailors on the deck fell into the water one after another.
boom!
Another big blessed ship, nearly fifty meters long, hit a ship less than thirty meters. The solid impact angle was embedded in the wooden ship, and the broken wood splashed, and a deep bone-visible crack appeared on the wooden ship, and the sea water poured into the cabin!
"Shoot the arrow!"
Hundreds of rockets of Ming army ships shot out, hitting a lucky ship, and the warship burned on the sea.
Yu Yunwen, the chief commander of the Navy of Fubo Legion, looked around the battlefield and nearly a thousand ships fought in the waters of Goryeo. The dense ships were mixed together, covering the sea, and black.
Mingguan also established a navy army to engage in trade between Liaodong, Goryeo, Japan and Jiangdong.
After the Xia army's navy and the Ming army's navy met in the waters of the Goryeo Kingdom, the evil sides attacked each other.
The ships of the Xia Navy were obviously larger, while the Ming Navy was more flexible. The Fubo Legion crushed the front with its huge hull.
The fleet opposite used flexible maneuver power to dodge large warships, and then fired thousands of arrows at the same time to try to ignite the Dafu ship.
A large lucky ship has been shot by hundreds of rockets, and the barrels and sails were ignited, and the fire spread to the entire ship!
The Dafu ship worth tens of thousands of taels of silver was destroyed in the fire, and the navy soldiers on the warship jumped into the sea!
"The head general of the opposite fleet is not a mediocre person. If he is an ordinary general, he may have been shocked by the momentum of our fleet and has no power to fight back."
Yu Yunwen could see the level of their commander through the reaction of the Ming army's naval fleet.
"Order Zheng Zhilong to attack the opponent's flagship."
The most capable general under Yu Yunwen is the ship king Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Zhilong's big blessing ship had a platoon battle with a large merchant ship opposite. Zheng Zhilong personally led the Zheng family's navy soldiers to jump onto the opposite deck and chopped the enemy soldiers on the deck with a sharp blade. Blood splattered on Zheng Zhilong's face, stimulating Zheng Zhilong's ferocity!
The Ming army navy even used merchant ships to join the war!
Two navy soldiers fought close to each other on the deck. Zheng Zhilong personally cut over several enemy soldiers and quickly occupied the entire merchant ship.
The fishing net flew out and forced the generals who commanded the merchant ship.
Zheng Zhilong wiped the blood on his face and looked around. Black smoke rolled around. The two fleets were still fighting fiercely. Hundreds of warships were burned down. The flames reflected on the sea, burning the cold sea red.
In addition to the most majestic Dafu ship, there are also bloated turtle ships participating in the naval battle. The dragon head sprayed out smoke from the combustion of sulfur, and the turtle ship's mouth shot out rockets and shot at the opposite ship.
The Ming army navy had no idea when facing the turtle ship like an iron hedgehog.
The turtle ship is covered with iron armor and is equipped with an iron cone. Even if the warships on the opposite side want to engage in a battle on the shore, they have no way to start.
The turtle ship commanded by Lee Sun-sen has greatly improved its abilities in all aspects.
Ten turtle ships rushed around the warship and overturned more than twenty small boats.
If it weren't for the Dafu ship's stolen popularity, these ten turtle ships would shine.
The big bowl-mouthed gun set up by the Dafu ship was fired, and white smoke filled the air, and the lead shot through the female wall of the warship opposite. The navy soldier located behind the female wall was shot and killed, and blood holes appeared in the armor!
Although the power of the Big Bowl Gun is not as powerful as that of the bronze cannon, the Big Bowl Gun is already one of the most powerful original firearms.
The big bowl-mouth gun appeared in the naval battle in the east for the first time. The sound of the heavy musket was a terrifying effect, which shocked the Ming army's navy.
The Ming Navy, a general, stood at the bow of a lucky ship, commanding the Ming Navy to deal with Yu Yunwen's legion.
The big bowl-mouth gun exerted its power, which made the main general tremble a little.
"The Xia army's ships are equipped with firearms, and the main general is also one out of thousands."
The generals of the Ming army's naval army were not weak, but the problem was that it was difficult for a good cook to cook without rice.
The economic conditions of Chutian's forces allowed him to expand the Fubo Legion to 120,000 people and thousands of ships in a short period of time, while more than half of the ships of the Ming Navy came from merchant ships.
"General, there is a big ship opposite us attacking us!"
The head of the Ming army naval commander looked in the direction indicated by his subordinates, and Zheng Zhilong's big lucky ship was approaching him.
Zheng Zhilong, the general of the Fubo Legion, was completely red in his eyes and kicked a captured enemy soldier directly into the sea.
The order he received was to attack the warship where the opposing general was located.
Wherever the Dafu ship went, crossbow arrows and big bowl guns were fired together. Any ship close to the Dafu ship was shot by the Dafu ship!
The rolling smoke and the deafening shouts of killing made Zheng Zhilong's blood boil.
"Retreat to Jianghua Island and avoid its edge. Goryeo General Li Chenggui can let us take refuge."
"yes."
The flagship of the Ming army naval division raised the banner of retreat, and after losing 300 large and small ships, it retreated to Jianghua Island in Goryeo.
"A total of more than 100 warships were lost and forty warships were captured. The Grand Commander-in-Chief, the Ming Navy has retreated. What should we do?"
"Go and chase, but we have a good time, and they have a good time, so it's hard to catch up."
Yu Yunwen knew how difficult it was to annihilate the enemy in naval battle, because the sailing ships were at similar speeds.
"They want to return to the port and be protected by troops!"
Zheng Zhilong boarded Yu Yunwen's warship.
"We have completed the mission after burning down all their ships, attacking Goryeo, and delaying Goryeo's troops. Goryeo has at least hundreds of thousands of people. Although Goryeo's troops are not very strong, our navy soldiers are not good at land warfare. We can only say that we meet the opponent when we play the game."
