Horse on the World

Chapter 750 Attack on Hong Kong
Xie Baicheng is an ordinary fisherman in Dengzhou. He owns a fishing boat full of materials. The family of three almost takes the boat as their home and rarely goes ashore. Now it is the peak fishing season. In order to catch more and better fish , They traveled very far on the sea, Xie Baicheng lived on the sea all his life, knowing that this season, there are very few big storms and waves on the sea, it is a good time to go to sea.Although there are a lot of fish in the coastal waters, there are also many fishing boats, and disputes often arise because of competition for space. Moreover, the species of fish there are relatively common, and it is difficult to sell them at a price. Only by going farther can we find better fish and sell them at a higher price better price.

This year's festival, life is getting worse and worse. Years of wars have almost doubled their taxes. This year there is an additional war tax, and in order to prevent their son from being drafted, they have to go up and down. This will cost a lot, and it will be difficult to feed those officials without catching some rare fish species.

My son is twenty years old this year. His family is poor and he cannot marry a wife, but what he is most afraid of is being conscripted into the army. Although His Royal Highness King Ning has ordered that his only son not be recruited, when he arrives below, those officials will complete the enlistment task in full. The old Pei family who fished with him was also the only son, so he was sent to serve as a soldier. Not long ago, someone from the army came to report the bad news. The boy of the old Pei family died on the battlefield. The couple hanged themselves that night, and a good family was lost like this.

With a sigh, this world really makes the poor have no way to live.

"Father, this trip is really not in vain!" The son looked at the fish cabin full of all kinds of rare fish, grinning from ear to ear, "These fish can be sold for at least dozens of taels when they go ashore. silver."

Xie Baicheng sighed: "It's only enough to take care of those old men. Hey, as long as you can stay at home safely, money is nothing. You can come out this year. If you are lucky enough, you can marry a daughter-in-law for you." After entering the house, your mother and I entrusted a matchmaker to tell you about the daughter of the Zhang family. You also know her. She is pretty good. I just want a gift of 50 taels of silver. I think the girl is very good at housekeeping, 50 taels is 50 taels Two!"

"It's her!" There was a smile on his face, it seemed that he was quite familiar with Zhang's daughter.

"Father!" The son suddenly raised his head, looked into the distance, opened his mouth wide, "There are so many boats!"

Xie Baicheng suddenly turned his head, and on the sea level, densely packed ships suddenly appeared, heading towards this side at an extremely fast speed, "Did our Dengzhou navy come back? General Pang Da must have won the battle again." Perennial People who live on the water are no strangers to Pang Jun's name.

The ships on the sea got closer, Xie Baicheng's face changed drastically, and he saw the military flag flying above the opponent's ships.

"It's from Dingzhou, it's from Dingzhou, run, the people from Dingzhou are calling!" he shouted hoarsely.While holding the oars, he shouted: "What are you still doing, row the boat quickly, row to one side, don't get in front of them!"

Only then did the young man come to his senses, and together with Xie Baicheng, rowed the fishing boat desperately, but compared to the area spread by the opponent's warship, and the speed at which the father and son were rowing, it was impossible to avoid it.

"Old woman, throw away all the fish!" Xie Baicheng roared.

An old woman's face was pale, and she threw the fish into the sea desperately from the cabin, trying to reduce the weight of the boat so that the boat could row faster.

The attacking fleet was the Yin Ning Fleet of Dingzhou. Yin Ning led his navy to detour from the open sea, avoiding the opponent's sentry all the way, and then suddenly went straight to Dengzhou. Now it seems that the tactics were extremely successful. He It has successfully approached Dengzhou, but the other party has not responded at all.

Standing on the podium on the top deck of the tall Dingzhou, Yin Ning ordered: "All ships go straight to Dengzhou Port, destroy the opponent's water village, port, and left behind ships, the troop carrier lands on the beach, and the cavalry goes ashore for a deep strike. .”

No one noticed that there was a very small fishing boat fleeing desperately in front of them. Even if someone saw it, they would not change course for an enemy fishing boat. Every ship in will have a huge impact.It may even cause chaos in the ships behind and cause them to collide with themselves.

Xie Baicheng desperately saw the opponent's ship getting closer and closer to him. Even the smallest ship of the opponent was several times the size of his own small fishing boat. He had already seen the opponent's soldiers on the ship that was heading towards him face, but in front, but there is no end in sight.

The tall ship rolled over, and in an instant, they were completely shrouded in the shadow of the ship. The family of three gave up their unnecessary struggle and hugged each other crying.

The next moment, the fishing boat no longer existed, and the huge hull of the Dingzhou warship crushed them directly, white foam flew up, and the entire small fishing boat was directly crushed into the water.

At the moment when he was engulfed by the huge waves, Xie Baicheng regretted it very much. Maybe he could still struggle to survive by letting his son serve as a soldier.

No one will feel sorry for this scene. The soldiers on the warship are busy preparing for battle. They are only tens of miles away from the shore. The next moment, the remaining ships on the other side will definitely find their whereabouts. What they have to do now is to speed up. Rush towards Dengzhou Port at the fastest speed, then completely destroy the opponents who are rushing to fight, and finally attack Dengzhou Port directly.

Ten miles away from the shore, Dengzhou Port can be vaguely seen at this time. Standing on the Dingzhou, Yin Ning can even see the panic in the port. Several three thousand battleships are raising their sails and turning slowly.

"Accelerate!" Yin Ning gave an order to the signal soldier.

The speed of the Dingzhou Fleet led by two five-thousand-material warships and five three-thousand-material warships increased sharply, the sea was plowed deeply, and the foamy sea water rushed out wave after wave. On their left and right, Qianliao left and right climbed first, guarded by red horses, and behind them, followed Yin Ning's Dingzhou Wanliao giant ship.

Pang Da is Pang Jun's nephew, and he has followed Pang Jun for more than ten years. He is considered a veteran of the navy. Five warships with three thousand materials are enough for them to deal with any attack, and Pang Da is also very relaxed. Compared with other generals who followed Pang Jun to attack Deng Peng's main fleet, his task is very easy.

When he heard the alarm bell in Dengzhou Port, and after he came out of the barracks, he saw the dark fleet on the sea in the distance rushing towards him. Heishuiyang was defeated, did the Dingzhou fleet take advantage of the situation and attack?But he immediately rejected this idea, even if he was defeated, it should be his uncle's fleet that returned.

But where did this Dingzhou fleet come from?

The Dingzhou Yinning Fleet has been still in Shiwei, and has never participated in any operations of the Dingzhou Navy, which made everyone ignore this team. When the strengthened Yinning Fleet came with the wind and waves, Pang Da Suddenly at a loss.When they rushed all the way to the ships anchored in the port, the soldiers in the barracks were also running towards the ships.

He commanded the soldiers who boarded the boat first to hoist the sails and anchor, and after everything was done, the last soldier rushed to the boat, and the boat slowly left the shore.

Looking at his few lonely ships, and looking at the oppressive opponents on the opposite side, especially the oppression given to him by the huge ship with thousands of materials, he felt breathless.

The Southern Army Fleet also has a giant ship of thousands of materials. Following his uncle who has practiced the battle and defense of the giant ship of thousands of materials countless times, Pang Da knows that even if the opponent has no other ships, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the giant ship of thousands of materials. These [-] material warships of my own are no match for them.

Glancing back at Dengzhou port, Pang Da gritted his teeth and gave the order to evacuate.

Several Southern Army warships turned around and fled to one side along the shore base, exposing Dengzhou Port nakedly to the attack of the opposing fleet.

Yin Ning didn't pay attention to the escaped three thousand warships, his goal was Dengzhou Port.

There was no one on the pier. They never expected that Dingzhou would raid Dengzhou. The defense force of the Southern Army on the pier was pitifully weak. Although there were also fortresses, they were not equipped with long-range strike weapons. When the first wave When the Dingzhou ship was approaching the port, several stone bombs weighing tens of kilograms thrown by several trebuchets looked so ridiculous.

Obviously, the soldiers deployed here are not battle-tested experts. These stone bombs flew up, unprepared, and all fell into the sea water, while those flying from the Dingzhou ship were like rain The stone bombs hit the place where the stone bombs just flew, and destroyed the few trebuchets on the shore one by one.

One team attacked the port, but Yin Ning's Dingzhou led the main force to approach the opponent's water village. This is the focus of the opponent's defense, and there are obviously more troops.The other party's large docks and shipyards are all concentrated in this area.

"Shooting!" A smile appeared on Yin Ning's face. It went so smoothly, which surprised him a bit. In his mind, as the headquarters of the Southern Army Navy, this place should have been heavily guarded.Like Fuzhou Port in Dingzhou, there are many long-range weapons on the shore, and it is impossible to get close to him without paying a huge price.

The troop carrier arrived at the shore smoothly, and the springboard with a width of more than ten meters was pushed off the ship amidst the yelling of the sailors, and landed on the ground. The neighing of war horses sounded, and the Dingzhou cavalry leaped out of the ship. , brandishing a saber and rushing ashore.

At that moment, the few defensive soldiers on the shore were stunned. For the first time, they saw that the naval fleet could carry cavalry to fight. Will also vanished.With a cry, he dropped the weapon in his hand and fled in all directions.

Clanking iron hoofs, beating the stone slabs of the port, cavalry galloped all the way, heading for the water village and shipyard in the distance. Once the water village was broken, Dengzhou Port completely lost its only defensive force, and was attacked on both sides. Under such conditions, how long can the water village last?

Just as the Dingzhou cavalry launched a full-scale attack, a small cavalry group separated from the large group and headed in another direction.
