Li Jianguo immediately boarded the boat and prepared to set off. Just as he was about to set off, he saw Hai Dongguan also boarded the boat. Li Jianguo's face sank and he said, "What are you doing here? Go down." Hai Dongguan didn't dare to disobey the order. Going ashore again, he said to Li Kaiguo, "My lord, after you leave, the last general will seal off Lingshan Island to prevent Zheng's army from attacking. Please take care of yourself."
Li Jianguo laughed, and said: "Ben Fu knows, this battle Ben Fu knows, don't worry. Huang Hailong, come down and go with Ben Fu. Hai Dongguan, you don't have to rush to seal the island. In this way, you Send another sentry boat to follow from afar, and I will ask the sentry boat to inform you when the island will be closed." Huang Hailong was not surprised when he heard that Li Jianguo asked him to follow, he jumped on the boat and said: "The final general is willing to follow your lord to kill the enemy." Li Jianguo smiled and ordered the boat to sail.
Hai Dongguan and other generals knelt down on the ground together, and said loudly: "The last general is waiting for your lord to return in triumph." After the Haicang boat sailed away, Hai Dongguan dispatched six sentry ships instead of one, After ten miles behind the Haicang boat, observe the situation at any time and report back and forth.
The medium-sized warship sailed with the wind at a very fast speed, and it was only noon when it set off, but after three hours of sailing, the Zheng army's fleet had not yet been spotted.Li Jianguo was very strange. According to the speed, he should have already met him.
Huang Hailong smiled and said: "My lord, don't worry, the general is familiar with the tactics of Zheng Jun's navy, I think it's only half a day's journey from Lingshanwei, Zheng's navy is waiting at sea, so that they can approach Lingshanwei without anyone noticing, until tomorrow Before the sun rises, they can land on the vanguard army, which is their usual tactic."
Li Jianguo was surprised.Said: "Landing at night? Are they not afraid of hidden reefs?"
Huang Hailong said: "Returning to my lord, some of the Zheng family's navy are experts in sailing. They all know where there are reefs and where boats can sail in the Daming Sea. Even if they are blindfolded, they can sail the boat to the destination accurately. Landing by boat at night is nothing, not to mention that there is moonlight at night, they only need to go along the seaside where the anchor is not deep enough, for the Zheng family navy, it is not difficult to do this."
Li Jianguo shook his head, he felt something was wrong.Ordinarily, with the large number of Ming soldiers and the depth of their plans, it would never be that simple.At this moment, a sentry ship quickly appeared in the sight of the sea, followed by another sentry ship chasing after it.Huang Hailong picked up the binoculars to watch.Suddenly shouted: "Look, my lord, our sentry boat is in front. Zheng Jun's is behind. They are chasing our sentry boat."
His eyesight was quite good, the sentinel ship was more than ten miles away from them, yet he had already seen clearly.In fact, the sails of Lingshanwei's sentry boat are clean, while Zheng Jun's sentry boat has a Zheng character painted on it.Huang Hailong, big and small, fought hundreds of naval battles with Zheng Jun's navy, not to mention the distance of more than ten miles, or even farther.He is also instantly recognizable.
Li Kaiguo picked up the binoculars and looked at it. It was indeed the same as what Huang Hailong said. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Go up. Save the sentinel boat."
The sailors immediately adjusted the sail and turned the rudder, and the Haicang boat braved the wind and waves to rescue the sentinel boat at a speed of [-] miles per hour.The sailors of the Haicang ship climbed up to the flagpole, waved the flag again and again, and let the sentinel ship come over to facilitate the rescue.In fact, there is no need to raise semaphore, the sentry boat of Lingshanwei is also coming desperately. They also have binoculars on board. When they see their own boat, they are extremely happy. They are closely followed by the sentry boat behind them. Just at the extreme of the headache, according to the rules of the navy, you are not allowed to go back to your lair without shaking your tail.
Seeing the Lingshan sentry boat heading straight towards their own Haicang boat, the Zheng Jun sentry boat chasing after them not only did not retreat, but increased their speed a little bit, obviously not paying attention to the Haicang boat.
Li Kaiguo put down the binoculars, and said in a deep voice, "Load the cannon." Immediately, the four guns were put into four thousand-jin Franco cannons. middle.That is to say, it can shoot farther than five miles, but the hit rate is one in a thousand.
But for Li Jianguo's ability, this is not a problem at all.What a thousandth, as long as it is a cannon fired by a supernatural ability, it can hit one shot with one shot.Seeing Li Jianguo standing in front of the cannon, he adjusted the angle of the cannon.The artilleryman next to him couldn't help reminding, "My lord, they are still six miles away, and it won't be too late to fight when they get closer to five miles."
Huang Hailong was shocked, he pulled the artillery aside, and shouted: "My lord, you're talking nonsense, watch out, my lord, you'll hit every shot." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jianguo had already lit the cannon, "Boom" With a sound, a solid bullet weighing 24 kilograms flew into the sky.
Zheng Jun's sentry boat saw the shell from a distance, and didn't care at all.They are very familiar with artillery, and at a distance of six miles, the artillery can't hit it at all.This one-thousand shot is still talking about the land, even if you hit [-] rounds at sea, you will not hit a single shot, because the waves on the sea are unstable, and there are constant ups and downs, which is a thousand times more difficult than on land.
Just when they ignored the cannonball, the helmsman suddenly shouted: "No, we are going to be shot." While he was speaking, he had already tried his best to move the tiller, but it was too late, and the cannonball was like Like a meteor, it smashed down hard.
There was a loud "bang", and the huge impact force broke the small sentinel boat into two pieces. In an instant, the waves hit, and all the people in the boat fell into the sea.What was even more frightening was that two of the Ming soldiers on the sentinel boat were hit by shells, half of their bodies were cut off in one fell swoop, and a few streaks of blood appeared in the sea water, and then they dispersed.
The sentry boats of the Lingshan Guards were also stunned. They were still yelling just now that the artillerymen on the Haicang boat were pigs, wasting shells for nothing, but in a blink of an eye, the sentry boats chasing them were smashed into two pieces.
A Lingshan guard sailor murmured: "Luck, it must be luck." But the other sailors on the sentry boat quickly picked up their muskets, and shot one by one, all the Zheng Jun sailors who fell into the sea were shot to death.The Haicang boat quickly approached the sentinel boat, and Li Kaiguo poked his head out from the strings of the boat, and shouted, "Where is Zheng Jun's fleet? Is there any news?"
When the sailors on the sentry boat saw that it was Li Jianguo, they were overjoyed immediately.There is no one in the Lingshan Guards who does not know their own adults.Immediately knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Responding to the words of the adults, the little one was about to report back. The Ming army slipped down [-] Ming troops in the Dragon King and went to Lingshanwei by land. The journey is about seventy miles. Another boat The [-] Ming army continued to sail from the sea to Lingshanwei."
Li Kaiguo's face was gloomy, and as expected, the Ming army planned not to leave any way for Lingshanwei to survive this time.They advance by land and sea, and the land route advances along the coast, which is more concealed.If there were no [-] Ming troops sneaking ashore from the Dragon King, and when the Lingshan guards lined up to fight against the Ming troops landing from the sea, they would have fought from the side, which would have been a decisive blow to the outcome.
Li Jianguo threw an iron plate and landed on the sentinel boat.He shouted: "You don't need to report to Haidongguan. Take this token and immediately drive to Lingshanwei, and tell Feng Guoyong that 5 people from the Ming army are attacking from the sea. Let him use the token to call the first The [-]th and [-]th households built a stronghold to defend against the Ming army attacking by land, and the [-]th households served as a reserve army to support them. The [-]th and [-]th households stationed on the beach to defend against the Ming army landing from the sea."
The sentry boat picked up the iron plate.Immediately sent an order to Lingshanwei.Huang Hailong calculated the speed of the road, exhaled, and said: "Fortunately, we have half a day to deploy the troops."
Li Jianguo shook his head and said, "It's not half a day, at least one day. The Ming army can't bear hardships, and they can't catch up with the seventy miles in one day." virtue.But even for one day, it is not optimistic.Originally, it was difficult for Lingshan Guard's [-] soldiers to station on the beach.This time, the troops were divided to deal with it again.It is even more difficult.
Therefore, he had to delay the time for the second wave of ships to land.However, the warships of the first wave of fleets had already sent the Ming army ashore, and the combination of the two waves of fleets would be stronger and more flexible, making it more difficult for him to successfully attack.
The Haicang boat continued to move forward, and finally found that the Zheng Jun fleet, which had unloaded the Ming army, was parked on the sea waiting for the arrival of the second fleet before dark.Huang Hailong counted, and there were indeed ten three-masted warships, 150 small and medium-sized warships, and about twenty wooden ships.
This wave of warships alone is enough to destroy the Lingshanwei Navy.Huang Hailong couldn't bear the fear in his heart, and said, "My lord, what should we do?"
Li Kaiguo snorted and said, "Zheng Zhilong, it really is someone. Go around, let's go find the second wave of boats."
The sailor immediately turned the rudder, bypassed the first wave of warships far away, and continued to sail south.After another moment, the sky finally became completely dark, and only the bright moon was shining brightly on the sea, but the sight was severely blocked, and at most, it could only see half a mile away.
With a bitter face, Huang Hailong reported back to Li Jianguo: "My lord, it's already dark. Even if the Ming army fleet is within ten miles of us, we can't see it. Otherwise, return."
Li Kaiguo smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can't see it, but I can see it. Twenty miles away in this direction, Zheng Jun's fleet is advancing in the dark, and they covered the lanterns with cloth. Come closer You can see it." As he spoke, Li Jianguo compared the direction with his hand, which was about a little west by south.
Huang Hailong was both surprised and delighted. He knew that the lights of Zheng Jun's fleet were always covered with cloth when they sailed at night, so as not to become a target in the dark.Since my lord can say it, it is obvious that he really saw it, otherwise no one in the Lingshan Guards would know this except for those pirates who fought against Zheng Jun's warships.
Immediately, Huang Hailong ordered the Haicang boat to extinguish all the lanterns and head towards the direction indicated by Li Kaiguo.After driving for more than ten miles, finally, even the sailors found tiny lights on the sea.Huang Hailong said happily: "My lord, we found it."
Li Kaiguo sneered and said, "Come on, the two guns on the left are loaded with flower shells, and the two on the right are loaded with chain bombs. After one gun has been fired, it must be reloaded immediately."
The sailors on the Haicang ship responded loudly, and immediately began to prepare for battle.Li Jianguo casually took aim at the artillery equipped with chain bombs, and immediately ignited the cannon. "Tom tom" two cannons rang, and four chain bullets roared through the air.Others couldn't see it in the dark, but Li Kaiguo could see it clearly. After two breaths, the mainmasts of two three-masted gunboats seven miles away were hit by chain bullets with precision, and suddenly broke.
In his line of sight, the speed of the gunboat suddenly slowed down. With only two auxiliary poles, the flexibility of the three-masted gunboat immediately changed from a youth to an 80-year-old man.
The Ming army on Zheng Jun's boat was in a panic, scurrying around like chickens without their heads.They had to panic, they were suddenly shelled in the dark night, and they could only judge the direction by the sound of the shells, but they couldn't find the ship that fired the shells. Soldiers are no exception.Because although they fought a lot of naval battles, they had never fought artillery battles in the dark at all, and they didn't know enough about night battles.
Just when they were in a state of desperation and reported to the flagship immediately, they heard the sound of artillery shells whistling in the air again, and Zheng Jun and Ming Jun shouted: "Hurry up and dodge, the artillery is coming again." Unfortunately, although the warning was issued, it did not way to escape.Because no one knows where the shells are going, how to hide?
"Click" sound.The mainmast of another three-masted gunboat was broken by chain bullets.The entire Zheng Jun fleet immediately boiled, and there were sirens everywhere.Zheng Zhihu had just entered the alley with two beauties, and was about to pick two holes with one shot, when he suddenly heard sirens everywhere, as well as the whistling of shells.Immediately jumped up, naked body and ran out.He shouted: "Where is the enemy ship from?"
A confidant immediately took a cloak.Help him put it on.Someone replied loudly: "Second leader, the bombardment came from the east sea. I have sent a boat to check it, and I will report back later." , but a breath of effort.The mainmast of another three-masted gunship was interrupted.
Zheng Zhihu was startled and angry. He had experienced hundreds of sea battles in his life, and he had never fought a night battle at sea, because even on land.Fighting at night is also extremely dangerous, let alone at sea.And things are very strange, listening to the sound of the guns, the enemy has only one ship, and it is several miles away, but every gun is sure to hit.Zheng Zhihu immediately issued an order and shouted: "Order all the warships to disperse and outflank the east, and the enemy ships must be found."
His order was carried out immediately, and the semaphore could not be used in the dark, so he used lights and shouts, and saw the lights on the flagship's mast flashing continuously, which was the semaphore soldiers issuing orders to the ships.
Looking at the flashing lights three miles away, Huang Hailong was so happy that his teeth were about to fall out.My lord is my lord, and with just a few shots, the flagship was forced out.Huang Hailong immediately pointed to Zheng Zhihu's ship and said, "Look quickly, my lord, that is Zheng Jun's flagship, sending a signal."
Li Jianguo sneered and said, "Come on, let's mess them up, otherwise even if those 5 people stand in front of us, they won't be killed by [-] cannonballs."
Huang Hailong smiled and said: "With adults around, anything can happen. There are only twenty ships transporting troops. If you fire a few more shots, you can send them all to the sea to feed the fish."
Li Jianguo laughed, and said, "Stop flattering, go to the rudder and look around, don't go in the wrong direction." As he spoke, he fired four cannons in a row, and the four cannons rang out, this time the cannons The fire at the mouth was finally discovered by the Ming army on Zheng Jun's ship.Just three miles away from them.Immediately, dozens of cannons rang out, and countless shells flew from Zheng Jun's fleet. This was Zheng Jun's warship fighting back.It's a pity that the Haicang ship is too small, and it is advancing at full speed into Zheng Jun's fleet, but Zheng Jun can't see it in the dark, he just guesses the position of the enemy ship, and most of them extend farther away, so dozens of shells all hit far away , all fell to the back of the Haicang boat.
Just after Zheng Zhihu gave the order, he saw four cannonballs flashing in the distance, which made him overjoyed. He finally found the enemy ship, and suddenly he felt something was wrong. Hearing the sound of the cannonballs roaring, it seemed that they were coming towards him .
There was a flash in his mind, and immediately he jumped into the cabin and hid in the corner.Just when he had just hid, he heard dozens of gunshots from his own fleet, and then he felt a violent shock under his feet. Two explosions sounded on his own ship, and the cabin he lived in was suddenly destroyed by countless shell fragments. The sound was endless, followed by a piece of shrapnel across Zheng Zhihu's arm, he only felt a heat in his arm, and then heard the screams of his brothers on the ship and the sound of two masts breaking.
Zheng Zhihu was terrified in his heart, what kind of cannon is this?How could it be so accurate?Every cannon has a hundred shots and a hundred hits. If there are a hundred such gunboats, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?He knew that this time, the Zheng family's fleet had hit a hard nail.
Zheng Zhihu has always been brave and resolute, with superb martial arts skills. Although he was terrified in his heart, he was not in the least confused.Both the main mast and the secondary mast were broken, and the flagship could not move, obviously useless.He immediately rolled out and told the soldiers on board to hide to avoid the shells. The artillery kept firing, not seeking to hit the enemy ship, but only for self-defense.And he took a small boat to another intact gunboat and prepared to use it as the flagship.
Just when he started to issue the order, nearly [-] warships of the Zheng family kept firing, and nearly a thousand cannons kept blasting towards the place where the enemy ship's gunfire flashed just now.But they didn't know that the Haicang boat that Li Kaiguo was on had already sneaked into them by taking advantage of the darkness and taking advantage of the mobilization of Zheng Jun's fleet, which was chaotic everywhere.
The Lingshanwei sailors on the Haicang boat looked at the huge gunboats that were close in front of them, and they were constantly firing projectiles that were destined to fail.Little did they know that the enemy ship they were looking for was on the side of their ship, right under their noses.This gave the Lingshan Guard sailors a different kind of excitement, as if at this moment, they became god-like people, able to play with the enemy in the palm of their hands.
Li Jianguo said coldly: "Turn a little to the left." His voice immediately awakened the sailors' lust and obscenity.By the way, my own adults are gods, omnipotent gods.Even though they had already worshiped Li Jianguo very much, tonight they discovered that their lord made them adore him on a deeper level--Chongxin lord is a god, he is indeed a god, an omnipotent god.The sailors have no hesitation about Li Jianguo's order now. Even if there is a big whirlpool ahead, Li Jianguo said to drive in, they will follow suit. (To be continued..)
Thanks to the book friend 'Fearless So-called' for the reward, thank you!
Li Jianguo immediately boarded the boat and prepared to set off. Just as he was about to set off, he saw Hai Dongguan also boarded the boat. Li Jianguo's face sank and he said, "What are you doing here? Go down." Hai Dongguan didn't dare to disobey the order. Going ashore again, he said to Li Kaiguo, "My lord, after you leave, the last general will seal off Lingshan Island to prevent Zheng's army from attacking. Please take care of yourself."
Li Jianguo laughed, and said: "Ben Fu knows, this battle Ben Fu knows, don't worry. Huang Hailong, come down and go with Ben Fu. Hai Dongguan, you don't have to rush to seal the island. In this way, you Send another sentry boat to follow from afar, and I will ask the sentry boat to inform you when the island will be closed." Huang Hailong was not surprised when he heard that Li Jianguo asked him to follow, he jumped on the boat and said: "The final general is willing to follow your lord to kill the enemy." Li Jianguo smiled and ordered the boat to sail.
Hai Dongguan and other generals knelt down on the ground together, and said loudly: "The last general is waiting for your lord to return in triumph." After the Haicang boat sailed away, Hai Dongguan dispatched six sentry ships instead of one, After ten miles behind the Haicang boat, observe the situation at any time and report back and forth.

With a bitter face, Huang Hailong reported back to Li Jianguo: "My lord, it's already dark. Even if the Ming army fleet is within ten miles of us, we can't see it. Otherwise, return."
Li Kaiguo smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can't see it, but I can see it. Twenty miles away in this direction, Zheng Jun's fleet is advancing in the dark, and they covered the lanterns with cloth.

A confidant immediately took a cloak.Help him put it on.Someone replied loudly: "Second leader, the bombardment came from the east sea. I have sent a boat to check it, and I will report back later." , but a breath of effort.The mainmast of another three-masted gunship was interrupted.
Zheng Zhihu was startled and angry. He had experienced hundreds of sea battles in his life, and he had never fought a night battle at sea, because even on land.Fighting at night is also extremely dangerous, let alone at sea.And things are very strange, listening to the sound of the guns, the enemy has only one ship, and it is several miles away, but every gun is sure to hit.Zheng Zhihu immediately issued an order and shouted: "Order all the warships to disperse and outflank the east, and the enemy ships must be found."
His order was carried out immediately, and the semaphore could not be used in the dark, so he used lights and shouts, and saw the lights on the flagship's mast flashing continuously, which was the semaphore soldiers issuing orders to the ships.
Looking at the flashing lights three miles away, Huang Hailong was so happy that his teeth were about to fall out.My lord is my lord, and with just a few shots, the flagship was forced out.Huang Hailong immediately pointed to Zheng Zhihu's ship and said, "Look quickly, my lord, that is Zheng Jun's flagship, sending a signal."
Li Jianguo sneered and said, "Come on, let's mess them up, otherwise even if those 5 people stand in front of us, they won't be killed by [-] cannonballs."
Huang Hailong smiled and said: "With adults around, anything can happen. There are only twenty ships transporting troops. If you fire a few more shots, you can send them all to the sea to feed the fish."
Li Jianguo laughed, and said, "Stop flattering, go to the rudder and look around, don't go in the wrong direction." As he spoke, he fired four cannons in a row, and the four cannons rang out, this time the cannons The fire at the mouth was finally discovered by the Ming army on Zheng Jun's ship.Just three miles away from them.Immediately, dozens of cannons rang out, and countless shells flew from Zheng Jun's fleet. This was Zheng Jun's warship fighting back.It's a pity that the Haicang ship is too small, and it is advancing at full speed into Zheng Jun's fleet, but Zheng Jun can't see it in the dark, he just guesses the position of the enemy ship, and most of them extend farther away, so dozens of shells all hit far away , all fell to the back of the Haicang boat.
Just after Zheng Zhihu gave the order, he saw four cannonballs flashing in the distance, which made him overjoyed. He finally found the enemy ship, and suddenly he felt something was wrong. Hearing the sound of the cannonballs roaring, it seemed that they were coming towards him .
There was a flash in his mind, and immediately he jumped into the cabin and hid in the corner.Just when he had just hid, he heard dozens of gunshots from his own fleet, and then he felt a violent shock under his feet. Two explosions sounded on his own ship, and the cabin he lived in was suddenly destroyed by countless shell fragments. The sound was endless, followed by a piece of shrapnel across Zheng Zhihu's arm, he only felt a heat in his arm, and then heard the screams of his brothers on the ship and the sound of two masts breaking.
Zheng Zhihu was terrified in his heart, what kind of cannon is this?How could it be so accurate?Every cannon has a hundred shots and a hundred hits. If there are a hundred such gunboats, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?He knew that this time, the Zheng family's fleet had hit a hard nail.
Zheng Zhihu has always been brave and resolute, with superb martial arts skills. Although he was terrified in his heart, he was not in the least confused.Both the main mast and the secondary mast were broken, and the flagship could not move, obviously useless.He immediately rolled out and told the soldiers on board to hide to avoid the shells. The artillery kept firing, not seeking to hit the enemy ship, but only for self-defense.And he took a small boat to another intact gunboat and prepared to use it as the flagship.
Just when he started to issue the order, nearly [-] warships of the Zheng family kept firing, and nearly a thousand cannons kept blasting towards the place where the enemy ship's gunfire flashed just now.But they didn't know that the Haicang boat that Li Kaiguo was on had already sneaked into them by taking advantage of the darkness and taking advantage of the mobilization of Zheng Jun's fleet, which was chaotic everywhere.
The Lingshanwei sailors on the Haicang boat looked at the huge gunboats that were close in front of them, and they were constantly firing projectiles that were destined to fail.Little did they know that the enemy ship they were looking for was on the side of their ship, right under their noses.This gave the Lingshan Guard sailors a different kind of excitement, as if at this moment, they became god-like people, able to play with the enemy in the palm of their hands.
Li Jianguo said coldly: "Turn a little to the left." His voice immediately awakened the sailors' lust and obscenity.By the way, my own adults are gods, omnipotent gods.Even though they had already worshiped Li Jianguo very much, tonight they discovered that their lord made them adore him on a deeper level--Chongxin lord is a god, he is indeed a god, an omnipotent god.The sailors have no hesitation about Li Jianguo's order now. Even if there is a big whirlpool ahead, Li Jianguo said to drive in, they will follow suit. (To be continued..)
