Lord of the people online game
Chapter 145 Mingliang Sea Battle
"All troops attack!"
Wu Sangui, armed with an iron shield in his left hand and a wild goose feather sword in his right hand, personally led the infantry to attack a town in the southern part of Yangdu County.
The lord who owned the town recruited strong men to defend the city and shouted uneasily: "Qi Xiaobai, we are in the same guild, why are you attacking my territory?"
Qi Xiaobai appeared below the town on a war horse.
He looked at the guild members indifferently.
Following Wu Sangui, he learned a truth. If he chooses to take the road of chasing deer in the Central Plains, he cannot pay attention to the so-called righteousness. Only by putting interests first can he become a hero.
"You didn't even pay attention to me as the president before, so I could only choose to annex your lords. An unreliable alliance is worse than a complete force. Surrender to me now, and you can still survive. Surrender after the town is broken.
, there is only one way to die!"
Qi Xiaobai ordered Wu Sangui to attack the town, which was in danger.
"I...I surrender!"
Seeing that they could not stop Wu Sangui, the lords defending the town had no choice but to surrender to Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai is the largest lord of the Fighting Soul Guild, so Wu Sangui takes command and sweeps away the other lords of the Fighting Soul Guild.
The guild has become a constraint for him, making it nominally difficult for him to annex the territories of other guild lords, but now he has broken ranks with the other guild lords.
"There are still two towns in Yangdu County that have not yet been captured. Once these two towns are captured, we can go south again to attack Kaiyang County and annex the territory of the Wolf Guild."
Qi Xiaobai has great ambitions. Once he unifies the southern part of Yangdu County, he will have the opportunity to go south again to attack Xueyue Town. This time he will not lose again, because his biggest enemy Chutian and his historical generals have all gone to participate in the national war.
.
Xiacheng, City Cao Xia Liang started to open a horse market after Chutian left.
Considering that the horse market in Xuzhou would not be too large, she commissioned a caravan to purchase a drawing of a third-level horse market in Langya City, and then arranged for craftsmen and resources to build it.
At the same time, we need to contact the horse merchants of Langya Kingdom and persuade them to settle in Xiacheng for trade.
The horse market can not only be used by Xia City to purchase war horses, but also can be used by ordinary players to purchase horses.
Chu Tian just gave an order, but the person who executed it had to think through everything.
"I wonder what your lord is doing now? The Koryo Kingdom has lost half of its battles. Next, we will capture Anshi City and we should be able to come back."
Xia Liang holds a brush in one hand and holds her chin in one hand.
Chu Tian was currently observing the city defense of Anshi City under the tall Anshi City.
Anshi City relies on the terrain. Although the city is small, the city walls are extremely strong.
On the tenth day of the National War, the Tang army had defeated Goguryeo's reinforcements and besieged Anshi City with all its strength. The Tang army, which was all over the mountains and plains, occupied the surrounding mountains and dug out rocks and soil to attack the city.
"Most of the time was spent preparing to attack the city."
Chu Tian saw 200,000 people preparing to attack the city. He was not shocked by such a huge scene.
The four earthen hills have been piled four meters high, and the foundation is being laid. According to the plan, the earthen hills will be two to thirty meters high. They are so high that archers can easily see the reality of Anshi City and shoot at the defenders at the same time.
"Our construction of earth mountains also has military merit. Although it is less military merit than killing the enemy, there is almost no loss." Jiujiang Lao Qin was responsible for coordinating the construction of four earth mountains. "In order to prevent the earth mountains from being destroyed by the defenders' catapults, we deliberately
Reduce the number of earth mountains and make these four earth mountains as indestructible as possible."
"Li Shimin definitely didn't want to suffer heavy casualties. It is estimated that tens of thousands of people would be killed and he would give up attacking Anshi City. His interests are different from ours. What he wanted was to capture Anshi City with as little loss as possible."
"At that time, our troops from the Eastern Han District will capture Anshi City no matter what."
A group of Eastern Han lords discussed privately that if Li Shimin gave up attacking Anshi City because he was worried about excessive losses, then they could only rely on their own troops to capture Anshi City at all costs.
When Chu Tian returned to the camp, Hua Mulan had woken up, and Li Lan, the army doctor, was taking care of her. According to Li Lan, Hua Mulan was just in a coma due to exhaustion from the battle and was not seriously injured.
Once Hua Mulan became serious and unyielding, Chu Tian was a little afraid that she would die in battle.
"Lord, leave the next task of siege to me."
When Hua Mulan saw Chu Tian coming back, she took the initiative to invite him.
"The leader of the siege will be Zhou Yafu, and the deputy generals Pang Juan and Li Guang will lead the team. As for you... take a good rest. This is an order."
Chutian would not let the generals of the cavalry department attack the city.
Archers and infantry are generally used in sieges.
Sometimes the cavalry can dismount and attack the city, which is good, but the cost is relatively high.
Horse cavalry is really nobler than infantry and archers of the same level, otherwise there would not be so-called knights in the West.
Hearing that she couldn't go into battle, Hua Mulan couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.
What a very energetic person…
Chu Tian still assigned some relatively easy tasks to Hua Mulan: "You are responsible for patrolling, guarding, and warmth... just patrol and guard."
After the foundations were laid, the hills outside Anshi City grew even higher, which made the defenders in the city feel uneasy.
boom!
Dozens of stones were thrown from the city and hit the mountains, causing sand and gravel to fly!
The defenders of Anshi City used catapults to attack the Tang Army's Tushan!
"fight back!"
The Tang army brought in catapults and began to bombard the defenders of Anshi City.
Stones weighing dozens of kilograms hit the city battlements, and a corner of the battlements collapsed. A defender on the city wall was unable to dodge and was hit by the gravel, causing his head to bleed.
Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, did not dare to relax, and always led a team of cavalry outside the city to protect the catapults and earth mountains, and did not give the opponent a chance to go out of the city to destroy the catapults and earth mountains.
The catapults on both sides roared from time to time. The soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty continued to pile up mountains of earth day and night despite the attacks of catapults.
Both sides on the battlefield realized that Tushan was the key to breaking the situation.
Once the Tang army successfully built four tall mountains of earth to dominate the city, the defenders in the city would lose their geographical advantage.
In addition, the Tang army also prepared a large number of ladder vehicles, flying ladders, ram vehicles, ram vehicles, and siege towers. The Tang army even began to dig tunnels toward Anshi City, close to the city wall.
There are various signs that the pressure on Anshi City continues to rise.
During this period, the city lord of Anshi City could not bear the pressure and sent people to sneak attack the Tang army at night. However, the noise of them killing pigs and chickens was heard by the Tang army. Li Shimin judged that they would leave the city for a sneak attack, so he was prepared.
In addition to leaving hundreds of corpses behind, the Goguryeo soldiers who went out to attack the city did not get any benefits and fled back in despair.
Anshi City is already in dire straits.
Myeongryang Strait is located at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula. It is about two miles wide in "Lord". The water in the strait is turbulent and unpredictable, making it a dangerous place.
The Tang Dynasty Navy and the three major naval camps of the Eastern Han Dynasty approached this place with thousands of ships.
Liu Rengui, the naval general of the Tang Dynasty, looked at the map in his hand and became more solemn. He led the navy to pursue it from Baijiangkou to here, but still saw no trace of the Japanese navy.
The naval coalition composed of the lords of Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty also wondered where the Japanese navy had gone.
Tongque uses a homemade sextant to check the latitude and longitude.
Because the area of "Lord" has expanded tenfold, the sea surface has also expanded, making it more difficult to use a sextant to determine the location.
"Where are we? Is that island Zhendao?"
Tongque squinted his eyes and looked at the huge island appearing in front of him.
Whether it is walking or flying boats, they are not very suitable for sailing on seas with complicated weather conditions, so the Tang Dynasty navy went south along the coastline, and at this time they needed to pass through the narrow strait between Zhendao and the mainland.
The thousand-meter-wide strait may seem large, but compared to the thousands of large and small ships of the Navy, it appears to be very narrow.
"Japanese navy found ahead!"
The sentinel ship at the front raised the flag that the enemy had been discovered, and the news was spread to the rear layer by layer.
On the horizon of the Myeongryang Strait, warships flying the Japanese flag appeared, forming a vast array of dozens of rows on the sea surface of the strait.
"Finally found them! I didn't expect them to escape here. Go up and teach them a lesson!"
Tongque led the Eastern Han Dynasty navy to pursue them all the way, cautiously, and caught up with the Japanese navy here. His first reaction was to go up and annihilate them all, so as to end the naval battle as soon as possible.
But then he calmed down: "No, why did they choose to fight here? This is... Myeongryang Strait!"
"Mingliang Strait!"
Many lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty exclaimed.
During the Wanli Korean War, the famous general Yi Sunchen defeated a Japanese navy in the Myeongryang Strait.
"It seems that the Japanese lord wants to take advantage of the water conditions in Myeongryang Strait to defeat our big ship."
After discussing with several lords, Tongque roughly judged the other party's intentions.
The opponent attempted to use the narrow terrain to block the Tang Dynasty Navy and the Eastern Han Dynasty Navy.
"They knew there was no chance of winning in a battle with us at the Baijiangkou, so they chose to take a gamble in the Myeongryang Strait. Do we want to accept the challenge?"
"war!"
"It took a lot of effort to catch up with them, but we must defeat them no matter what!"
The lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty understood each other's intentions and had only two choices: confront each other or defeat them.
If you choose to delay, the Japanese will win.
"I'm going to discuss with Liu Rengui how to fight."
The bronze bird boarded the Tang Dynasty Navy's tower ship.
The Japanese navy, generals Azumirafu, Abehirov, and a group of Japanese lords faced off against the Tang navy on the opposite side.
"The water in the Mingliang Strait is complicated, but I have done detailed research. We can use fire ships to destroy the Tang Dynasty navy's tower ships. With such narrow and complicated water, their tower ships cannot avoid fire attacks at all."
A Japanese lord told the Japanese naval commander his tactics, and Azumirafu and Abehirov nodded.
"There is movement in the Tang Army!"
The Japanese navy discovered that the Tang navy on the opposite side launched an attack. Twenty large ships and hundreds of small boats sailed into the strait.
"The Tang army has fallen into a trap! Arrange a fire ship attack!"
The Japanese navy sent hundreds of small boats loaded with straw, sulfur and other flammable materials. The men rowed hard and rowed towards the opposite side.
All the lords in Japan were nervously staring at the fire ship approaching the Tang Dynasty.
As long as the fire attack succeeds and destroys the vanguard ship of the Tang Navy, the morale of the Tang Army will decline, and the Japanese Navy will have a certain probability of victory.
"Our small boats are no match for the Tang Dynasty tower ships. Fire attack is the last resort to win. The Battle of Chibi and Liaoluo Bay relied on fire attack!"
Seeing the ship used for fire attack approaching the tower ship, the Tang army's tower ship suddenly anchored, and the flexible sentry ship rushed out from the gap between the tower ship and galloped towards the opposite fire ship!
Almost at the same time, the sentry boats on both sides burst into flames, and the captain jumped into the sea to escape.
The fire reflected on the sea, sparkling, the burning sentry boats collided, and the planks fell apart!
Both the Tang army and the Japanese navy used fire ships in the same strait.
"Japanese people are worthy of being our students."
Tongque and a group of Eastern Han lords were a little stunned when they saw this situation.
Two lords from different civilizations thought of the same strategy.
The fire lasted for an hour in the Myeongryang Strait, and the navies of both sides were still confronting each other. The Japanese navy's fireboat used for the decisive victory failed, and they couldn't help but cry out that it was a pity.
In order to protect the Tang army's large ships, the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty sacrificed their own boats.
Liu Rengui, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty Navy, had been observing the changes in wind direction and water flow and was silent.
As the fireships on both sides burned and gradually sank to the bottom of the sea, the direction of the sea breeze quietly changed.
"The time to win has arrived, set sail and attack."
"attack!"
Liu Rengui's ship raised the flag for a full-scale attack, and twenty large ships, protected by a group of small boats, charged against the Japanese navy on the other side of the strait!
"Full speed ahead!"
When the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty saw that the Tang army's buildings and ships were beginning to attack, they also launched an offensive at the same time.
The grudges between the two civilizations are not easy to explain clearly. Facing the Japanese navy, the lords of the three states of the Eastern Han Dynasty attacked with all their strength, unwilling to be left behind!
"The time has come to bet on the fate of the country. May the fortune of the military be prosperous!"
Seeing that the fire attack failed, the Japanese lords could only rely on the changing water flow and narrow terrain in the strait to consume the Tang army!
Row after row of Anzha boats and wooden boats set off!
The sailors on both sides rowed with all their strength to gain the speed advantage.
Liu Rengui was on the deck when his feet suddenly swayed and his expression changed: "The water flow is too fast and it is changing rapidly!"
The lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty were more keenly aware of the unpredictable changes in the water flow with their stern boats, walking boats, and sentry boats.
A large boat was washed to the edge of the island by the unstable current and hit a nearby reef. The wooden boat was dented and seawater poured into the cabin!
No one knows what the water in Myeongryang Strait is like. This is a trap!
"The only option is to fight to the death! Prepare for a boarding battle!"
At this time, the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty had no chance to know the specific changes in the water flow in the Myeongliang Strait, so they could only rely on their courage to fight with the opponent.
"Use rockets."
Liu Rengui faced this situation, but he was not in a hurry. The walls of the Tang army's ships were high and strong, and the crossbowmen used rockets and raised their heads towards the sky. The rockets in the sky were like meteors piercing the sky and falling into the Japanese navy!
The small boat of the Japanese navy was hit by a rocket and burned easily, and the smoke rose into the sky!
Boom! The tall building ship destroyed the two wooden boats. The advantage of the big ship was fully demonstrated. Not only could it easily crash the opponent's ship, but it also had the advantage of height!
The lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Liu Rengui had already discussed that the key to their victory was fire ships and rockets.
"Japanese ships are prone to catching fire."
Tongque saw the sea of fire filling the sky, and the fire spread across the Myeongliang Strait.
