Chapter 541: The Battle of the Lion City
"ignition!"
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
"put!"
"Swoosh~swoosh~swoosh~"
Projectiles and crossbows shot out, and the target pointed directly at thousands of small warships covering the sea. Whenever they were hit, the warships were filled with wood chips. The soldiers on the ship were hit by these wood chips.
He screamed and was even a little unlucky. He was shot directly by shells or spear-like crossbow arrows, and his whole body was smashed into pieces, and he could not even find a whole body.
These small warships are naturally the naval army gathered by Mo Luoyou and other countries. However, under the attack of artillery and crossbows, they had already sank many warships. The debris and floating corpses on the sea surface were faintly visible in the sea water.
A blood-red ray.
On the main battleship of the Pinghai, Lu Qing held a telescope in his hand. While observing the changes in the enemy's fleet on the opposite side, he ordered very decisively: "Order the three warships of North Korea, China, South Korea and South Korea to break into the enemy's fleet from the left.
To impact the opponent's formation, be sure to make the opponent's fleet mess up!"
"Here!" The messenger next to him agreed and immediately conveyed the order to the flag bearer on his head. Then the Tongguo flag conveyed the order to the three main battleships. The three North Korean ships that received the order immediately raised their sails and accelerated their movements.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the enemy formation, and then the cannons and crossbows on the ship fired volleys, clearing out a large open sea around him. At the same time, the formation of the opponent's fleet was also disrupted.
However, there are too many small warships from the enemy, more than a thousand, and they have received the order of death before coming. Anyone who dares to retreat will all be executed, so even if there are more than a dozen warships already
It was smashed to pieces. But no ship dared to take a step back. Therefore, the three North Korean ships were soon surrounded by ships, and after they lost their speed, they only supported them with weapons such as cannons and crossbows.
It's really dangerous.
But at this moment, Lu Qing sent three main warships to support him. As a result, with the joining of this group of new forces, he immediately killed the regained enemy fleet, and then rushed forward with three warships including North Korea.
The opponent's fleet was quickly cut into two, and the formation was even more chaotic.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Qing immediately ordered the entire army to advance and rush into the enemy's formation while the chaos was in chaos. As a result, the warships of Mo Luoyou and other countries were in chaos. Each warship was fighting on its own and could no longer fight against Lu Qing.
Their main warships formed wēixié, and finally, under Lu Qing and his powerful ships and guns, the fleets of Mo Luoyou and other countries were on the verge of defeat.
"General Lu is indeed a famous naval general. The method of naval combat command is really eye-opening!" At this moment, a young general with a jade-like face suddenly stood up next to Lu Qing, Pinghai, stood up and said.
"Person Li came from a famous family and graduated from Chang'an Military Academy. I believe that as long as you are familiar with the methods of naval combat, your future achievements are limitless!" Lu Qing smiled at the young man wearing the military uniform of a captain.
This young captain was Li Jingye, one of Li Yan's friends in Chang'an. He and Cheng Huailiang and others had studied in the military academy before. They had graduated two years ago, but because of the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo
The war broke out. Their military academy students who were about to graduate were all sent to the battlefield and experienced the baptism of actual combat. As a result, Li Jingye did not leave until a year ago. Then he came to Taiwan alone, and naturally received a grand welcome from Li Yan.
.
In addition to Li Jingye, Cheng Huailiang, Li Siye, Qin Huaiyu and others have already made a decision. They want to come to Taiwan to help Li Yan, but they are still in the army in Mobei and cannot escape at all.
Li Jingye followed his grandfather Li Ji's path, so he was the first to come to Taiwan.
Li Jingye is a very smart person. After understanding the military structure in Li Yan's hands, he decisively gave up the cavalry major he studied. Instead, he stayed in Taiwan's naval academy for more than half a year and fought a naval battle for himself.
After the basics, he persuaded Li Yan to send himself to the navy and kept learning the art of naval warfare with Lu Qing.
While Lu Qing and Li Jingye were talking, a very fast car and ship approached the Pinghai, and then a commander quickly boarded the ship to report: "Report to General, another enemy fleet has left Mo Luo.
Yougang is bypassing the battlefield and heading towards the Lion City behind us!”
"Hmph, I've been waiting for them for a long time and order the fleet in the port to prepare!" Lu Qing sneered.
The Lion City Fleet has a total of twenty main warships, and they are all fighting with each other here. Although the formation of the other's fleet has been disrupted, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the other party should have no chance of turning the tables, but the other party is one after all.
More than a thousand warships, even if they line up to sink, they will not be able to solve it in a short while.
This was also the trick of Mo Luoyou and other countries. They thought Lu Qing didn't know how many ships they had, so they only sent more than a thousand warships to meet the enemy. Then, after the two armies were in a stalemate, Lu Qing and the others could not escape.
The remaining warships carried a large number of army soldiers and bypassed the battlefield and attacked the Lion City. Unfortunately, Wu Meiniang's intelligence system was omnipresent, and Lu Qing was also a resourceful person. How could he not see through the other party's plans?
.
As early as half a month ago, the fifteen main warships stationed in Linyi had already disguised as merchant ships and entered the port of Lion City in batches. Now they are waiting outside the port for the other side's sneak attack fleet. Although there are only fifteen main warships.
However, the sneak attack fleet is mainly transporting troops, and the ship is full of people. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the warships will be greatly weakened. Therefore, when they faced fully armed warships, they were simply a naked massacre.
.
Li Jingye also knew that the fleet had been ambushed in the Lion City, and was waiting for the other party to take the bait. The person who led the fleet was Zhou Long, the principal of the Naval School when he was studying in Taiwan.
Speaking of Zhou Long, he is a talent like a panacea in Li Yan's hands. Whether it is the army or the navy, he can take over as long as people are needed. Although this man looks fierce, he is an all-rounder, charging into battle.
He is not as good as the tiger's strength, he is not as good as Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui, and he is not as good as Lu Qing's opponent in the sea. However, Zhou Long has the advantages of Zhou Long. For example, when it comes to military training, he can be said to be the first military training in Li Yan's hands.
Everyone, in addition, he is very knowledgeable about land and naval warfare.
It is also this characteristic of Zhou Long that he is mainly responsible for military training in the army. Two years ago, Li Yan followed the example of Chang'an Military Academy and opened a military academy in Taiwan, which was divided into two branches of the Navy and the Army, while Zhou Long served as the staff.
The principals of the two branches, this position is most suitable for him. However, this time, in order to completely control Malacca, Li Yan asked Zhou Long to take action again.
In fact, there is no way to do this, because the navy is in a period of extreme talent shortage, only Lu Qing, Zhou Long and others are available to the older generation. Although Zhu Chong and others are the younger generation, there are very few people, so
There are extremely limited talents available in the navy, but after the students in the naval school graduate, I believe this situation will change.
Li Jingye stood behind Lu Qing and carefully observed various tactics in the naval battle. When he encountered some confusion, he would ask Lu Qing, and Lu Qing would also answer carefully, although Li Jingye was still his subordinate now.
A lieutenant, but Lu Qing knew that with the other party’s friendship with His Highness King Qi and the talent of this young man, he would definitely be valued in the future.
Lu Qing used strong ships and powerful guns to deal with these small warships in Mo Luoyou and other countries. It was like a strong man bullying a bunch of babies. What's more, these small warships were mainly engaged in platoon battles, and Lu Qing's hands
However, the warships used artillery and crossbows to face the enemy, and there was no chance for the other party to get close. Therefore, there was almost no suspense in this naval battle.
The naval battle lasted until the Xia Qian, and more than half of the 1,000 warships from Mo Luoyou and other countries lost more than half. Under this attack, the remaining naval forces finally chose to retreat. Originally, if Lu Qing pursued him, he could have achieved greater results.
But he did not do so, instead ordered the fleet to return.
This is not Lu Qing's kindness, but he had received a war report from Zhou Long before. The fleet that sneaked into the Lion City had already fought with them. Although their warships had an absolute advantage, they wanted to wipe out the other side.
, but it is impossible, so Lu Qing chose to attack Zhou Long in front and behind and eliminate the sneak attack fleet.
The reason why Lu Qing wanted to wipe out the sneak attack fleet was mainly to follow the strategy formulated before, because the main purpose of this battle was to eliminate the vital forces of Moluoyou and other countries and lay the foundation for the future occupation of Moluoyou and other countries.
Compared with the fleet that had been crippled by them, the sneak attack fleet in the rear carried a large number of soldiers. As long as they were wiped out in the Lion City, the energy of Mo Luoyou and other countries would be severely damaged and there would be no resistance.
When Lu Qing brought the fleet back outside the Lion City Harbor, he happened to encounter a sneak attack fleet that was about to retreat. As a result, he and Zhou Long attacked each other in front and behind, and wiped out most of the sneak attack fleets. The rest also chose to surrender.
Only a few ships escaped the interception of Lu Qing's fleet by chance. However, when they brought back the news of the annihilation of the ambush fleet, the alliance led by Mo Luoyou felt a bone-like fear, and the entire alliance did not attack.
It self-defeated, and no other force dared to provoke Lion City.
The battle of the outer port of Lion City completely established Li Yan's dominance in Malacca. Li Yan also set up a customs office in Lion City to collect taxes from passing ships. After the ship paid the tax, it could hang a side issued by the Qiwang Mansion.
Shang Banner, with this Shang Banner, their ships can travel between Malacca and the coast of the Tang Dynasty, and no one dares to make things difficult for them.
However, just when Li Yan had just received the results of the Battle of Lion City and was about to gather troops to completely occupy Mo Luoyou and other countries, another news came from the Tang Dynasty. Li Yan was thinking after hearing this news.
