Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 273 Attack Again
Now the navy led by Li Buqi has a famous name-Guangzhou Shipping Division Inspection Navy.Nondescript!

Li Buqi really couldn't think of any talented person who came up with the idea of ​​assigning such a powerful fleet, one of the best in the world today, to the small Guangzhou Shipyard.From the name, it can be seen that those people in the Song court still did not realize the importance of the navy, and still regarded the navy as a patrol to catch pirates and check whether merchant ships were evading taxes.Probably when the war is over, they will no longer maintain this fleet that costs a lot of money, even if this fleet can cut off the sea transportation of the Cochin people, and can go straight to the hearts of the Cochin people.This is the gap of ideas!

But the concept can be changed step by step. In the future, as long as Jiaozhi is laid down, it will be impossible for anyone to abolish this navy.

Although this navy has been aggrieved and named as a patrol inspector by the Municipal Shipping Department, it does not affect its large scale.This time, in order to transport the captives, four Fuchuan with more than [-] materials were added, and the Clippers added twelve newly-built [-]-oared sea falcon warships from Fujian and six newly-built six-oared clippers from Guangzhou.The bow of the newly built six-oared clipper boat in Guangzhou is based on the sharp bow shape of the Arabian sailboat, and is equipped with a ram. The hull is almost streamlined, and it can be regarded as a high-tech product of this era.Li Buqi believes that, both in terms of technology and tonnage, this fleet should be one of the best fleets on earth in this era.

Such a huge scale is naturally not something that Cochin people can compete with.After completing the last replenishment in Qiongzhou, the fleet went straight to Vietnam's coastal defense. After reaching the vicinity of Catba Island, the large ship set up a defensive formation and sailed slowly to block the east exit of the bay. Then the Clippers searched along the coast from south to north. Cochin boats.Because the sea falcon and six-oared clippers were much faster than the Cochin fishing boats, the Cochin boats had no time to sound the alarm.

At this time, there is only a small fishing village where the Vietnamese coastal defense of later generations is located, and the Clippers only found some fishing boats here.After setting fire to the fishing boats, the fleet rushed into Ha Long Bay from the south.

Here, Wang Wanshun and Gao Qi, who led the Clippers, found hundreds of ships of various sizes scattered around the port and in the bay. Start a fire.

The last time the Great Song Navy did not dare to enter Halong Bay at all, Jiaozhi people never thought that the Song people would be so fierce this time, completely defenseless, even because they didn't even have a sentry in their own home.When the Cochin people on the boat found out that something was wrong, it was too late to react, and they almost watched the boats being engulfed in flames one by one or captured by the Song people.Standing on the top of Catba Island, Li Buqi could clearly see the black smoke rising to the sky in the distance.He felt a little pity, because Li Changjie was dead and couldn't see all this.

Bai Pinghai stood beside Li Buqi, stretching his neck to look in that direction with Li Buqi's binoculars, but he was still a little far away and couldn't see clearly at all.He had no choice but to put down the binoculars reluctantly and said to Li Buqi with a smile on his face, "Lucky Shi is really clever. This time it is bound to be another big victory. Not only is Yunshi unstoppable on land, he is also unmatched at sea."

Although he knew that Bai Pinghai was sycophant, but Li Buqi wanted to build a good relationship with him, so he laughed and said: "Inspector Bai doesn't need to praise me, I didn't fight this battle, I just put up a name, and the credit is yours." Everyone in the navy."

Bai Pinghai has become clear about Li Buqi's behavior style in the past six months. He knows that Li Buqi will never compete with them for credit. : "Thank you for your care."

But Li Buqi reminded him: "However, there is one thing I want to remind you here. You have been at sea for many years, and you have rich experience, but in the future, the scale of this navy will become larger and larger, and there will be more and more shapes of warships." , It’s a sailor and a Marine Corps, and it’s more complicated to operate, and experience alone can’t do it. Therefore, if you want to do well and make more contributions, you need to support those young people a lot.”

This time, the navy became the inspector of the city's shipping department, and Bai Pinghai, the inspector, became the nominal leader of the navy. Bai Pinghai naturally knew what Li Buqi was referring to.He hastily agreed: "Don't worry, I will eat a few bowls of dry rice, so I won't talk nonsense."

Li Buqi laughed again and said, "It's not that you can't talk. You have been at sea for 20 years, and there are not many people who have more experience at sea than you. You have to help these young people to be more thoughtful about many things. It is worthy of your inspection salary."

Bai Pinghai nodded repeatedly on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart: "What does Mr. Li mean by this? Did you really want me to participate in the naval planning? When should I speak and when should I not speak? It's hard to grasp the scale!"

Like all leaders, Li Buqi left Bai Pinghai alone after saying this sentence.Looking back at Bai Haiping's appearance of being unable to settle accounts, Li Buqi could only shake his head helplessly—some things are just hard to express, and the subordinates can't blame the leader for thinking too much.

In the evening, several fleets that entered Halong Bay came to report that this later tourist resort had been cleaned up, and even three crazy six-oared fast boats rushed into the Bai Teng River and sank several cochin boats .However, the Clippers were not without losses. A [-]-material Clippers ship was besieged and burned by the Cochin fireboats, and two Seafalcon boats ran aground and ran aground in shallow water after chasing the Cochin boats, so they had to set themselves on fire. .

Fortunately, achievement is the main thing, and the results are brilliant. More than 100 large and small ships in Cochin were destroyed.

The Marine Corps has set up camp on Cat Ba Island, and the fleet rested overnight in the bay of Cat Ba Island that night.The next day, Li Buqi sent a fleet to search south along the coast again. As long as they encountered a Cochin boat, even a canoe would be sunk.If there are no Cochin people at sea, go ashore to capture prisoners.Of course, the army on Catba Island couldn't be idle either. Li Buqi sent out all the marines he could fight and an intern unit to go ashore to rob.

Now Li Buqi can fight in two marines, both of which are mercenaries.One is to pull the Dongbing who came down from the mountain to the seaside and let them board the boat, and pick out those who are not seasick, leaving more than 600 in total.There is another group, but the strongmen along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong heard that Li Daguan was recruiting troops. They were afraid of being suppressed by Li Daguan, and they also wanted to follow Li Daguan to make a fortune.

The characteristics of these two teams are that they fight fiercely, but their discipline is very poor. If the two armies confront each other head-on, Li Buqi might not dare to let them fight.But before the enemy is prepared, these people are the best at things like robbery, even better than Li Buqi.

As for the training team, it was composed of recruited fishermen and militiamen. This was the team that Li Buqi focused on training.But most of this team are good boys, and if they are asked to rob people, they may not be able to do this job well, so they should go ashore to see the world.

For the next dozen or so days, Li Buqi asked at most how many Cochin people he had arrested every day, and other things would naturally be taken care of by others.He sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day, and then either wears a bamboo hat and goes to the beach to pick up seafood, or finds a place to fish with a fishing rod.Of course, Li Buqi would also complain in his heart that there were no iced sodas and bikini beauties when he was drinking tea under the parasol.

In seven or eight days, the Cochin people no longer rushed to the marines in waves, but a large wave came, some of them were equipped with armor and weapons, and there were elephants to help them out. They seemed to be a serious Cochin army.The Dongbing soldiers and the marines who were born in the strongman resolutely carried out Li Buqi's instructions not to hit hard. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately ran back to the ship and set sail into the sea.The Cochin people basically only have some small sampans now, and they dare not pursue them, so they can only stare blankly on the shore.

In this way, it is not so easy to land on both sides of the Baiteng River, but the coastline of Cochin is very long.Li Buqi sent two mercenaries to fight south to the mouth of the Red River, capturing Jiaozhi Qingzhuang along the way.When June was about to enter, in order to avoid the typhoon, Li Buqi ordered the Cochin captives who were digging rocks to be loaded on board, and then plundered along the coast all the way through Qinzhou, Lianzhou and Leizhou Peninsula back to Guangzhou .
