Chapter 130 The Sea Battle at Lion’s Mouth 1
When the horse and the enemy general passed each other, Liu Xinang threw the short spear towards the general with his left hand. The strength of his arm and the momentum of the horse made the short spear as fast as lightning. The general did not even react at all, and was penetrated by the short spear in the chest. The barrel of the gun was half submerged in the ground.

Then the general was hit in the chest and abdomen by the second row of cavalry horses. He flew backwards in the air, landed, and was trampled by the horse formation.

After the coalition forces were charged twice by the cavalry battalion, no general dared to organize a breakout, and all the coalition soldiers scattered and fled for their lives.

Seeing that the victory was determined, Liu Xinang couldn't help but said to himself: "It turns out that we are already so strong."

He quickly recovered his thoughts and loudly ordered his own cavalry again:
"Use the brigade as a unit to sweep each other and eliminate the organized enemy troops."

After hearing this, the cavalryman next to him shouted the order loudly to the outside, so that the order was transmitted to the outside world on this noisy battlefield.

Soon, the cavalry battalion was divided into eight groups, sweeping away the fleeing enemy troops in all directions.

"Surrender without killing!!"

"Surrender without killing!!"

Shouts spread from every corner of the battlefield.

……

Liaodong Peninsula.

There is a mountain less than ten miles northeast of Tieshan called Jiguan Mountain.

The location of Jiguan Mountain is very unique. The entire mountain basically penetrates into the sea independently. If viewed from the air, the plane shape of Jiguan Mountain is like a small tadpole. The head of the tadpole is bitten on the peninsula, and the entire body of the tadpole is floating on the sea. The locals will The position of the tail is called tiger tail.

Jiguan Mountain and the curved coast of the peninsula surround a sea area six miles long and four miles wide, leaving only a one-mile wide outlet at the tiger's tail.

This is a natural port, a gift from nature, and it was called Lushunkou in later generations.

Historically, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty sent two generals, Ma Yun and Ye Wang, to cross the sea from Penglai and land here to regain Liaodong. Because the sea journey was smooth sailing, the place was renamed Lushunkou.

Now, this place is called "Lion's Mouth".

June 26, 10 o'clock.

The second fleet sailed to the Tieshan Waterway, and Liu Xinqi arranged for a transport ship to send the two hundred infantry battalion soldiers back to Penglai.These infantry battalion soldiers did not play a great role in naval battles, but if they were sent back to Penglai, they would be able to increase Penglai's guard strength to some extent.

After seeing off the soldiers of the infantry battalion, the fleet sailed around Iron Mountain and continued to sail northeast along the coastline. It took more than half an hour to sail thirty miles of sea route, and finally saw the "Lion's Mouth".

After Ye Chuan arranged the exploration ships along the way and at Shizikou, the fleet sailed into Shizikou and stopped in this natural port.

Noon on June 26th.

The ships of the first fleet also returned from the north and hid in the lion's mouth.

A total of thirteen warships from the two fleets were hiding here, and other county-level sand ships (cargo) were either exploring outside or transporting captured items back to Penglai.

The captain of the first fleet, Zhao Liang, did not come to see Liu Xinqi on board the Mizhou. Before leaving for Liaodong, he had already made a detailed battle plan. Now he only needs to follow the plan. The most important thing for Zhao Liang at present is to command the fleet to fight.

It was not until the end of the day (15:[-]) that the third fleet arrived at the Tieshan Waterway and followed closely behind the warships of the Jin Guo Navy.

After receiving the information, all the warships in Shizikou began to prepare for the battle.

According to the plan, after the third fleet passes through the Tieshan Waterway, it will lead the Jinguo Navy to sail northeast along the coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Another half an hour later, Liu Xinqi stood on the bow and saw the third fleet sailing toward the northeast from the sea outside Shizikou, followed closely by the Jin Kingdom Navy fleet following behind. "Combat out of port."

Liu Xinqi ordered.

The flag bearer on the ship began to convey orders to the surrounding ships through semaphores.

The ships in the lion's mouth one after another weighed anchor and sailed outside.

"Looking at the time, there may be a night battle." Cui Wu said standing next to Liu Xinqi.

"It's better to fight at night. We have soldiers and the advantage is greater." Liu Xinqi replied.

Warriors with a general card have their physical attributes greatly increased, and their night vision is much better than that of people of this era.

As soon as the first and second fleets sailed out of Shizikou, they were discovered by the Jin Kingdom Navy. The Jin Kingdom Navy knew that they had been ambushed, and the fleet immediately adjusted its sails to slow down and prepare for battle.

The third fleet at the front also began to turn around.

Liu Xinqi stood on the Mizhou, the flagship of the second fleet, watching the two fleets getting closer and closer.

"Prepare rockets!" Liu Xinqi shouted.

This rocket was improved by Liu Zhimu. After the arrow hits the target, the sticky combustible matter on the arrow will splash around and ignite a large area.

This time Liu Xinqi planned to fight a battle of annihilation, so he planned to use rockets to burn all the sails of the Jin Navy warships so that they could not escape, and then fight until night, taking advantage of the soldiers' good night vision.

When the Mizhou was thirty steps closer to the outermost ship of the Jin Navy, Liu Xinqi ordered loudly:
"Shoot the sail!!"

The rockets on the Mizhou were shot towards the Jin warship, and the giant crossbow on the ship also fired crossbow arrows.

Arrows were also shot from the opposite ship, but they were not rockets.

With Liu Xinqi's eyesight, he could clearly see the rain of rockets fired from the Mizhou. Dozens of rockets hit the sails of the enemy ship. The sails were oiled and made of bamboo chips and burlap. It was immediately ignited, and the fire burned bigger and bigger.

On the Mizhou, because all the fighting sailors wore rattan armor, there were not many casualties under the rain of arrows from the enemy ships.

Due to the long distance, neither ship had a hook line, and the ships passed each other. The Mizhou continued to sail towards the second enemy ship.

When the two ships approached, the Mizhou fired another rocket, setting the enemy ship's sail on fire.

Three ships were set on fire. When they were shooting the fourth ship, they were caught by the hook rope thrown from the ship and had to start fighting with each other.

Liu Xinqi, who was standing on the top deck of the Fuchuan, looked at the entire naval battle battlefield, and saw that the Jin Guo Navy was fired by the rocket tactics of the Xinghan League Navy, and more than twenty ships were ignited, causing these ships to lose power and destroying the Jin Guo Navy. Warship formation.

The hook rope pulled the Mizhou closely together with the enemy ship. Liu Xinqi took this opportunity and immediately ordered the use of the racket.

I saw that the strings on the two racket heads on the side of Fuzhou were cut off with a knife. The racket hit the deck of the enemy ship heavily with the help of the counterweight of the club head. This enemy ship was a sand-searching ship with a flat deck. , The station was full of officers and soldiers of the Jin Guo Navy.Dozens of people were knocked down by the racket all at once.

After using the racket, the Marines on the Michigan rushed over the side of the ship and onto the deck of the enemy ship with their shields and swords raised.

Seeing that the melee had entered, Liu Xinqi returned the command of the Mizhou to Ye Chuan, and he drew his sword and gun to join the hand-to-hand combat on the deck.After all, he is the "number one master" of the Xinghan League and cannot waste it.
