Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 491 Shi Lang vs. Liu Guoxuan

Shi Lang not only reported Liu Guoxuan's situation to you Lin Yi in detail, but also focused on introducing to him the situation of Zheng Zhilong's five good generals.

Lin Yi also had some impressions of this Liu Guoxuan before crossing over. Now after Shi Lang, Lin Yi has a clear understanding of Liu Guoxuan. He knows that he is one of Zheng Zhilong's five good generals, and he also knows that there is only one Liu Guoxuan left among Zheng Zhilong's five good generals. You can rely on it, because Shi Lang, Shi Xian, Zheng Chenggong, Zeng De, this is the surrender of the dying.

Now Zheng Zhilong asked Liu Guoxuan to come on stage to pay homage to the commander-in-chief, wantonly carry out reforms, and mobilize troops. It is obvious that he is relying on this person to fight against the Ming Dynasty. If Liu Guoxuan can be cleaned up, Zheng Zhilong can only surrender obediently.

Therefore, after discussing with Shi Lang, Lin Yi decided to use troops against Funing County to defeat Zheng Zhilong's support.

In the sea area of ​​Funing County, Liu Guoxuan's 2-strong navy and more than 200 warships are ready to deal with it. The Qianjin Fulang machine, musketeers and archers on the ship are all ready to go.

Shi Lang's [-] Royal Navy sailed across the sea, and Lin Yi handed over the command of the naval battle to Shi Lang.Because he knew that Shi Lang and Liu Guoxuan were equals in history, just like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

But Lin Yi didn't wait for the battle report in the camp, but climbed up and looked into the distance. Through the single-hole telescope, Lin Yi saw that although Liu Guoxuan's navy team was not strong.However, the military appearance is strict, and all the soldiers of the Southern Army will be full of energy.The naval warships lined up in battle formation, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Liu Guoxuan is really good at leading troops, and his reputation is well-deserved.

Shi Lang boarded the huge ship Yang Wei to personally command the naval battle, and the front of the Ming Fleet took the lead in charging.

More than 300 naval warships of the Ming Dynasty rushed towards the naval camp of the Southern Army.At a distance of hundreds of meters, the artillery of the two armies launched a fierce attack first, hitting the water column soaring into the sky like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.But the two sides did not continue for half an hour, Liu Guoxuan's navy was defeated, and the navy's warship hid in a bay, abandoned the ship and fled after landing.

Lin Yi saw that Liu Guoxuan was defeated so quickly?If this is not in vain?

At this time, Shi Lang commanded the Ming army to pursue all the way, and they chased into this bay, but just approaching the coast, the fort of the Southern Army on the coast roared, and the red-clothed cannon roared earth-shatteringly.Dozens of naval warships of the Ming Dynasty were hit, and some were directly sunk.Some caught fire, were paralyzed, burned at sea, and lost their combat power.

At this moment, Lin Yi's worries were fulfilled. The navy of the southern army, which had been defeated on the shore, came back again. They boarded the warships one after another, shouting and charged towards the Ming army, knowing that the front of the navy was immediately defeated. .

Seeing that Liu Guoxuan was cunning, Shi Lang immediately led the main fleet to kill Liu Guoxuan's men.The Yang Wei opened fire from a distance, and several warships of the Southern Army were hit and sunk immediately.But when Shi Lang's tens of thousands of troops just arrived, the Nanjing Navy had all retreated to the waters of Funing Bay.

Knowing the heavy artillery fire from the southern army on the shore, Shi Lang had no choice but to order the pursuit to stop. So far, both sides have won the battle at sea.

When the battle was fierce at sea, the army on the shore was of course not idle. More than 10,000 Ming troops rushed to Funing County.At this time, Liu Guoxuan's 8 troops were defending instead of attacking. When the Ming army approached the county, the red cannons on the city wall and several fortresses outside the city fired at the Ming army at the same time.

The Ming army suffered heavy casualties for a while and was unable to attack for a long time. The water and land battles continued until dark, and the two sides temporarily stopped fighting.

And so the first day passed.The number of casualties was reported. The Ming army lost more than 40 large and small warships, and the number of casualties on the sea and ashore exceeded 4000.

Lin Yi saw that this Liu Guoxuan was not easy to deal with, and the battleship Yangwei alone could not do it, because no matter how powerful the huge ship Yangwei was, no matter how big the tonnage was, he could only play a role at sea.

Now Liu Guoxiang is very cunning, adopting guerrilla warfare to avoid his edge.

The Yangwei is not omnipotent, this huge ship is incomparable to the artillery fire on the shore, and Shi Lang dare not let the Yangwei approach the coast lightly.

It is necessary to try to destroy the artillery fire on the shore, just like the battle against Shi Lang in the Yangtze River, so that the Yangwei can land smoothly and the navy can log in. To destroy the navy of the Southern Army, it seems that the marines have to be used .

As for the shore, Ji Dong decided not to use his standard battalion, the invincible battalion and these elite troops.Because the southern army is now substituting defense for offense, and does not dare to start a field battle with the Ming army.The elite fear combat power of the Ming army is not easy to display.

But Ji Dong didn't intend to give them a chance to breathe. He used the red cannon to contain the southern army on the shore.

After Lin Yi and Shi Lang discussed the countermeasures, they began to dispatch troops and adjust the strategic deployment...

Seeing that the Ming army had withdrawn, Liu Guoxuan began to reorganize his troops. At night, Nanjing reinforced the city defenses to prevent the Ming army from projecting or counterattacking, so as to facilitate another battle.

At this time, the general Yang Cheng, who was in charge of commanding operations at sea, came to see Liu Guoxuan and said: "Commander, the navy of the Ming army is strong. If the commander hadn't been able to command well, our army would undoubtedly be defeated. Especially their Yangwei, which can be called a naval vessel. The Overlord, such a mighty warship, is the first time I have seen it during summer vacation."

Liu Guoxuan smiled softly, "They should be counting on this giant fleet to defeat Shi Lang and the Dutch Hongmaozi's naval division fleet. What's ridiculous is that the Dutch Hongmaozi brought hundreds of warships and aggressively He wanted to come to a decisive battle with them, but when he saw their formation, the red-haired boy ran away in panic and didn't even dare to stand, hahaha..."

Both of them laughed out loud.

"What kind of overlord of the sea, in the eyes of the subordinates, these red-haired boys are just a vain name, and the navy commanded by the commander is truly invincible at sea."

At this moment Li Hu came and saluted Liu Guoxuan: "See you, Commander."

"What's the specific battle situation on your side?" Liu Guoxuan nodded to her and asked him to sit down.

Yang Cheng and Li Hu are two lieutenants under Liu Guoxuan, one is in charge of commanding the navy, and the other is in charge of patients in Anyang.

"Hahahaha. Have fun, Commander. The Ming army is invincible. This time, they suffered a lot. They didn't tell us the usual punishment. They were helpless and couldn't make any progress." Say and laugh.

"How about your specific casualties?" Liu Guoxuan was in high spirits.

"Returning to the commander, our warships suffered more than 30 casualties. According to preliminary statistics, the casualties did not exceed 2000. The Ming army suffered at least twice as many ships as ours."

"Haha, this battle was fought so happily," Li Hu took over Yang Cheng's words just after he finished speaking, "Marshal, our soldiers defending the city and those in the fortress suffered fewer casualties, only a few hundred People, and the Ming army that attacked the city fell down in rows. It is estimated that there are about five or six thousand. Including the casualties of the navy, nearly ten thousand Ming troops were wiped out in today's battle. It has been a long time since I fought so happily What a battle, Your Majesty is so happy to hear that the news is uncertain."

Liu Guoxuan also looked complacent, but he did not get carried away, but warned Yang Cheng and Li Hu: "You two must not underestimate the enemy, Shi Lang is not easy to deal with, and the prison country next door should not be underestimated. Yu Zhan and the others have suffered, so we must guard against them stealing camps and robbing villages, especially the navy."

"Please don't worry, Marshal, I promise nothing will go wrong."

"Mo Jiang has already prepared for them. As long as they dare to come, it is guaranteed to make them worse than during the day."

Liu Guoxuan was very satisfied after hearing the words of the second general, and then took the two of them to visit the wounded and sick, as well as his city defense and naval camp.

A few days later, the southern army and the Ming army launched a fierce battle in Funing, including the navy and the army on the shore.

The 10 Ming army navy charged forward and suppressed Liu Guoquan's naval fleet.In order to preserve his strength, Liu Guoxuan still adopts active defense, substituting defense for offense, retreating when encountering a strong enemy, luring the enemy to go deep, waiting for an opportunity to attack, and using mobile warfare to eliminate the enemy's vital forces.

But this time he couldn't play well, his style of play had already been figured out by Ji Dong and Shi Lang.Just when Liu Guoxuan's main force retreated to the shore, the naval ships of the Ming army did not pursue them.Although the southern army's artillery fire on the shore was fierce, the navy of the Ming army was not within the range of their artillery fire.

Liu Guoxuan saw that the Ming army had learned well this time.You don't come to chase, and we don't take the initiative to attack. We just spend it like this, and see who can spend more than whom.

Seeing that Liu Guoxuan's navy was silent, Shi Lang ordered the fleet to move forward. The Yangwei fired a few more shots at the Nanjing navy and the shore. Get out of range of shore artillery fire.

After so many repetitions, the southern army found out the intention of the Ming army, which was teasing them and wasting their ammunition. Therefore, the cannons on the shore of the southern army did not open fire easily.

While the two naval divisions were paying attention to their own strategies, Daming's Marine Corps had already quietly dispatched.

Nearly 400 famous generals put on their unique uniforms of the Marine Corps and brought water splitting knives. They were divided into two groups, each with about 200 people, and started their armed swimming. The journey was about five miles.

These girls took out the real skills that Lin Yi taught them, swam for a while in the sea, buried their heads in diving, and rushed towards the navy fleet of the Southern Army and the forts on the shore like hundreds of swimming fish. .

The current southern army is blind in broad daylight, because their eyes are aimed at the navy warships of the Ming army, and they don't notice the movement in the sea at all.

After more than half an hour, these two Ming army squads of about 200 people were already close to the target.

Then the team in the water divided the work again, with a small flag as the unit, that is, a small flag leader led 10 teammates to be in charge of a warship of the Southern Army.

After the division of labor, they suddenly jumped out of the water and boarded the enemy's warship.At the same time, another team of 200 people suddenly jumped out of the sea and began to land on the beach...
