After having dinner, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on land and water immediately boarded the ship and set off for Changshan Island.
On Changshan Island, Wang Ri and others gathered together to discuss the next move. Jin Wanzai sighed and said: "The Yanyun Army is really well-deserved! The previous legends about the Yanyun Army are all true! Like tigers and wolves, our army is no match for them!" Everyone nodded with deep understanding. Li Yinghao, deputy commander of the army, said: "This place is too close to Tianjing New City and is not suitable for defense. If the Yanyun navy comes, our army will not be able to resist it! It is better to withdraw to Bailing Island." Bailing Island, in Changshan Three to four hundred miles southeast of the archipelago is the most important naval base of Korea on the western sea. Li Yinghao put forward this suggestion to withdraw from Baengnyeong Island, and all the generals agreed.
Wang Ri frowned and said, "If we just run away like this, how can we explain to His Majesty and the people in the country? I'm afraid we will all be imprisoned or even executed!" Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere was very depressing. Li Yinghao asked Wang Ri: "Does the governor still want to fight against Yanyun's army?" Wang Ri said: "Although our army suffered heavy losses in this battle, we also discovered some of the opponent's weaknesses! I saw the Yanyun warship Although the power is amazing, only six strange-looking warships are very fast. The other warships are relatively slow, and to exert their power, they must line up the warships. If our army can rush into their vicinity, we will definitely Can defeat them easily!"
Everyone felt that what Wang Ri said made sense and couldn't help but nodded. Jin Wanzai said: "What the governor said is absolutely true, but how do we get close to them? Their warships can smash us to pieces even though they are far away. We can't get close to them at all! This doesn't even take into account the terrifying situation. The impact of weapons on the morale of our army!" The generals nodded, feeling that although the governor's idea was good, it was difficult to implement it.
Wang Ridao: "I have already thought about it. We can gather all the slow warships, transport ships and civilian ships from the Changshan Islands to form a huge fleet to attack the Yanyun Navy head-on. But this is just a lure. The enemy's bait, the real killer move is those clippers! When they confront the Yanyun Navy in the fleet, they suddenly come out from the side, rush into the enemy's ship array, and attack at close range. We have a great chance to attack. Win this battle!"
After listening to his narration, the generals couldn't help but regain a lot of confidence, and they all expressed that they only obeyed the command of the governor! Seeing that all the generals were united, Wang Ri immediately ordered all the generals to go down to prepare for war, and then sent a sentinel ship to Shandong to inquire about the movements of Yanyun's navy.
The next morning, the clippers sent out rushed back and reported to Wang Ri and others that the Yanyun fleet had arrived. The generals were inevitably a little frightened, but Wang Ri was very excited and said to the generals: "The opportunity for revenge has come!" Then he ordered all the troops to board the ship, and ordered the navy deputy commander Li Yinghao to lead the clippers first. Shan Islands went to the north to ambush, waiting for a signal, while he himself led a large and bluffing fleet out of Changshan Islands to face the Yanyun fleet.
Soon after, the fleets of both sides faced each other on the vast sea. In terms of fleet size, the Korean fleet was still much larger than the Yanyun fleet. Li Yinghao ordered the entire army to advance bravely. The gunboats in Yanyun's fleet immediately lined up, and at the same time, other warships were scattered on both sides to protect them.
Two hundred steps away, countless fireworks suddenly surged on the sea, and then there was an earth-shaking loud noise. The shells fired from the artillery flew towards the Korean fleet like a storm. In an instant, I saw water columns rising into the sky, sawdust flying everywhere, and Korean warships one after another. It was bombarded with holes and sank into the sea. The Goryeo soldiers were horrified, and the scene was inevitably a bit chaotic, but they continued to rush towards Yan Yun's army under Wang Ri's strict order.
Yan Yun's army continued to bombard them, and the Goryeo warships on the opposite side were simply living targets. When the two sides were only a hundred steps apart, the Koreans felt that the opponent's fierce firepower was like a typhoon, making them completely unable to distinguish between east, west and north! The Korean soldiers were so frightened that they ignored Wang Ri's order and turned the ship around to escape. The flag bearer on Wang Ri's ship waved the flag desperately, but it was no longer possible to do so at this moment, and almost no one cared about Wang Ri's order. Ordered.
At this moment, a large fleet of ships suddenly appeared in the north, sailing in the wind at an extremely fast speed with full sails. The Yanyun lookout soldiers discovered this situation and immediately issued a warning. Guan Shan, who was directing the battle, immediately looked towards the north and saw the incoming fleet. He couldn't help but frown and immediately ordered the ships to stop bombarding and turn around to meet the new enemy. Turning the ship array is not a simple matter. The Yanyun navy turned around with more than 600 warships, large and small, which looked a bit chaotic.
Before they had time to arrange themselves, those Korean clippers had already rushed in front of them. Guan Shan didn't bother to arrange the ship array, and hurriedly ordered all ships to use full firepower. A loud rumbling sound appeared above the sea again, and a hail of bullets fell into the middle of the enemy's fleet, causing considerable damage to the enemy. However, immediately the enemy warships with full sails slammed into Yanyun's ship formation. The Goryeo navy fired arrows in all directions with crossbows. Some Goryeo warships were too fast to turn and crashed into the Yanyun warship. Some Goryeo navy howled and jumped onto the Yanyun warship. , the navy forces from both sides started a fierce hand-to-hand fight! The battlefield was in chaos.
When Wang saw that the Clippers successfully broke into the Yanyun fleet, he was very excited and quickly ordered all the ships to follow him to attack the Yanyun fleet. So the Goryeo warships that had originally fled gathered together, and under the leadership of Wang Ri, they once again rushed towards the Yanyun navy. The battlefield situation is very unfavorable for Yan Yun's army!
Guan Ping, Lu Ming, and Wen Ren Shichong immediately led a team of clippers to rush into Wang Ri's fleet. They ignored other warships and attacked Wang Ri's flagship! The Korean people were shocked when they saw Yan Yun's army coming so violently, and the entire ship formation seemed a little panicked. The pointed warships that Guan Ping, Lu Ming, and Wen Renshichong were riding in hit Wang Ri's flagship first. Wang Ri's flagship shook violently. Many people became unstable and fell to the ground. Wang Ri was no exception, and some even fell directly into it. Into the water.
Lu Ming, carrying a steel sword in his hand, jumped onto the enemy ship first, and slashed down two Korean sailors who came up to him with a swing of his sword. Guan Shan, Wenren Shichong and other naval officers jumped onto the enemy ships one after another and killed them fiercely with their swords. At first, the Goryeo navy tried to repel the Yanyun army who jumped on the ship. However, after a fierce battle, they were killed countless times by the Yanyun army. The luxurious Goryeo warship was covered with corpses on the deck and blood was painted on the masts. The Korean naval forces were frightened and abandoned their ships one after another to escape. Wang Rijian, the commander-in-chief of Goryeo, couldn't resist anymore and jumped into the sea without taking off his armor. Upon seeing this, Guan Ping and Lu Ming immediately jumped after him.
As soon as Wang Ri emerged from the water, he was pushed down by Guan Shan and Lu Ming. Wang Ri struggled desperately, trying to get out of trouble. As the commander of the navy, he was also very good at water. However, Guan Shan and Lu Ming were both big insects in the water. Under the two attacks, he could not get out of trouble. Instead, he was exhausted and dying. . Guan Shan and Lu Ming dragged Wang Ri onto the boat. When the surrounding Goryeo troops saw that their commander had been captured, they were greatly frightened and turned around to flee for their lives. The Yanyun navy pursued and killed countless prisoners.
Seeing that Guan Ping and the others had successfully repelled Wang Ri's Koryo fleet, Guan Shan felt relieved and immediately ordered his speedboats and all ordinary warships to move out to resist the Koryo fleet. The ordinary warships and speedboats of the Yanyun Army rushed into the Goryeo fleet and fought fiercely with the Goryeo fleet at close range. The two sides exchanged crossbows and flames, and the warships were burning fiercely. There were countless corpses floating on the river. The soldiers of both sides jumped on each other's warships and fought bloody battles. The sailors of both sides who fell into the water were still fighting desperately, shouting and screaming. The sound echoed across the vast sea, along with the loud beep-bop-bop sound of burning flames!
The Yanyun Army gunboats took this opportunity to break away from the chaotic battlefield, set up their formation and immediately sent out a signal. The Yanyun navy, which was fighting fiercely with the Goryeo army, saw the signal and broke away from the Goryeo army and ran away. Only then did the Goryeo army realize that the Yanyun gunboats were already lined up in front of them, and they were shocked. Li Yinghao became desperate and ordered the fleet to rush forward. Almost at the same time, the Yanyun gunboats opened fire together. With a huge roar, a storm of bullets swept through the Goryeo fleet. In an instant, the sea surface churned and the warships were destroyed! In just the first round of volleys, the Korean army had already suffered heavy losses and was frightened!
Li Yinghao's desperate spirit was gone at this moment, and he quickly ordered the fleet to turn and escape. The ships turned around in panic, and many warships collided with each other. There was a huge collision and shouts of anxiety and annoyance! At this moment, the Yanyun gunboat fired another salvo and destroyed many Goryeo warships.
The Goryeo warship fled toward the northeast in a hurry, while the Yanyun warship kept bombarding. The huge roar of the artillery fire lasted for a long time, and it did not stop until the Goryeo warship escaped from the range. At this time, all the wreckage of Goryeo warships and the corpses of Goryeo sailors were floating on the large sea surface in front of them.
Guan Shan gathered all the warships and pursued them. At this time, on the sea seven or eight miles behind the battlefield, the Yanyun Army's transport fleet set sail again. On the largest building ship, the general standing on the deck like a female war goddess was none other than Yang Peng's wife, Yelu Hanyu.
In the evening of that day, the Goryeo warships fled into the Changshan Islands in a panic. But before he could even get off the ship, an alarm came, and the Yanyun fleet followed. The Koreans were in chaos, scrambling to escape from the port, but were blocked by the Yanyun fleet and bombarded indiscriminately. The entire port seemed to be boiling. Countless Korean warships sank into the sea, and the Koreans jumped into the sea one after another. Escape to the shore.
Some Korean ships outside the port that had returned late were so frightened when they saw this situation that they hurriedly turned and fled in the direction of Baengnyeong Island. Yelu Hanyu led the transport fleet to the scene and saw that the enemy troops had been wiped out. She immediately ordered the Yanyun navy to stay on the sea and be on guard, while she personally commanded more than 10,000 infantrymen to land.
On this day, the King of Goryeo was discussing with his ministers in the main hall the matter of sending more troops to Shandong. Not long ago, they received a message from Wang Ri, thinking that their Goryeo army had completely defeated the Yanyun Navy and captured Tianjing New City. Therefore, the Goryeo monarchs and ministers were discussing whether to send the more than 200,000 troops assembled in the country immediately. , in order to occupy the entire Shandong area as soon as possible. The king and ministers were all complacent, thinking that the prototype of the Great Goryeo Empire had been formed.
At this moment, a Privy Council official rushed up to the main hall in a hurry. He did not bother to salute and said urgently: "Your Majesty, no, it's not good!..." The King of Goryeo frowned and said displeased: "What's not good? Already?" The privy officer swallowed hard, "I just received a military report from Bailing Island..."
The King of Goryeo chuckled, "Did another good news come?" The privy officer shook his head, "Our navy was defeated!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. The King of Goryeo came to his senses, glared and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have just received a military report that our army has won a great victory, the enemy's army has been defeated, and the entire Shandong Province is at our fingertips! How could there be a sudden defeat?"
"I dare not say nonsense, the Privy Council has just received the military report from Bailing Island!" He then took out the military report and held it up with both hands. The eunuch beside the emperor immediately ran down, took the military report and turned around to present it to the King of Goryeo. The King of Korea quickly took it into his hand, opened it, and looked at it quickly. The ministers saw that the king's face turned pale in an instant.
The emperor felt dizzy, "Why, how could this happen?" The military report the emperor received at this moment only said that the navy was defeated, and did not say anything else. Shortly afterwards, more detailed military reports came one after another, first saying The navy commander Wang Ri was captured, and then the bad news came that the entire army of 100,000 soldiers was annihilated. The Goryeo court was horrified and in disbelief. Some even suspected that this must be false news spread by the enemy to shake the morale of the Goryeo army. However, the facts are facts after all, and wishful thinking cannot cover up the cruel facts. They, Goryeo, were indeed defeated miserably. Not only the 100,000-strong army was wiped out, but even the powerful navy that the Goryeo people relied on suffered a devastating blow. , 80% of the 100% were lost, and the rest were some frightened remnants of defeated generals.
Immediately, a very serious problem was posed in front of the Koryo people. How could the Navy resist the Japanese who had long coveted them after suffering such a devastating blow? ? Look back. Yelu Hanyu effortlessly occupied the Changshan Islands of the Khitans, plundered all the supplies stored by the Koreans, and then left. The fleet returned to Tianjing New City with countless trophies and more than 10,000 Khitan and Korean prisoners. Back in Tianjing New City, Yelu Hanyu sent messengers to report victory everywhere. Half a day later, after the navy had replenished supplies and ammunition, they rushed to Yingzhou under the leadership of Yelu Hanyu.
It has been two days since I received the urgent letter from Liu Zhiliang. I wonder what the situation is like over there? The Khitan army's 500,000-strong army attacked across the sea. Can Liu Zhiliang and the others hold on? Two days later, the fleet arrived off the coast of Yingzhou. Looking around, we saw the two-winged flying tiger battle flag fluttering in the wind on the gate tower of Yingzhou, and everyone finally let go of their worries.
Then Yelu Hanyu and others landed ashore. The officers of the Yanyun Army guarding the port learned that King Yan's Madam Yelu was coming, and quickly sent someone to inform General Liu Zhiliang, and then led several of his men to the dock to greet Yelutri and his party.
Soon after, Liu Zhiliang and others rushed to the pier to meet Yelu Hanyu. In addition to the generals who were already guarding Yingzhou, the generals who came with Liu Zhiliang also included Si Xingfang, Yang Bamei and other generals transferred from the south. "Generals, you don't need to be polite!" After a pause, "Did Ye Qi Guanyin not come to attack Yingzhou?"
Liu Zhiliang said with lingering fear: "She almost broke through the defense line!" "Oh? What happened?" "Our army was guarding against her attacking Yingzhou, but we didn't expect that she would choose the target of the attack at the entrance of Luanhe River. Haikou!..." Yelu Hanyu frowned and said: "This is indeed unexpected! The tidal flats there are not suitable for landing!" Liu Zhidian nodded, "Fortunately, a fisherman discovered the Khitan fleet and reported the location of the village. Bao, the local security guard was very responsible and reported the matter immediately. To be honest, we were shocked as soon as we heard the news. The general quickly gathered all the troops and rushed to the mouth of the Luan River. We just happened to catch up with the Khitan army. After landing, both sides fought fiercely on the beaches. The enemy troops were strong and our army gradually could no longer hold up. Fortunately, Si Xingfang, Yang Bamei and others arrived with reinforcements, and they drove the Khitan army into the sea in one go!"
Yelu Hanyu nodded, and then asked: "What happens next?" Liu Zhiliang said: "After that, the Khitan army seemed to be reorganizing their attack, but not long ago, they suddenly withdrew!" He smiled, " I didn't understand what was going on at first, but when I saw my sister-in-law leading the navy, I understood. They must have noticed the news that the navy was coming, and they were worried that their return would be cut off, so they retreated in a hurry!" Yelu Hanyu Frowning, she said: "She ran very fast! What a pity!" Yelu Hanyu actually didn't like the ending that was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. She hoped that when she arrived, Yelu Guanyin was still attacking Yingzhou and others. Land, in that case, we can use the overwhelmingly superior naval force to cut off their return in one fell swoop. In that case, hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops will become turtles in the urn!
Yelu Hanyu entered Yingzhou City surrounded by generals. Immediately, Yelu Hanyu sent an order to the navy and an infantry force to attack Juehua Island. Yan Yunjun entered Juehua Island without any hindrance and found that the entire Juehua Island was deserted. I think it was because Ye Qi Guanyin knew that the Yanyun navy was back and Juehua Island could no longer be defended, so he withdrew all the garrison troops and people from Juehua Island.
Ye Qi Guanyin stood on the coast, looking at the vast sea, and couldn't help but sigh. Then she couldn't help but feel worried. What was she worried about? She was worried about Yang Peng, and she had been worried about it ever since she received the report that the Koreans had assassinated King Yan. "What happened to him?" Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but murmured. She really wanted to rush to Yanjing to take a look. Ye Qi Guanyin loved Yang Peng to the core, but he did not have the determination of Ye Qi Hanyu.
At this time, Yang Peng was leaning on the bed, reading the latest military reports sent from the front line. He smiled and said, "Young sister Yelu did a good job! She wiped out Goryeo's land and sea army cleanly! Liu Zhiliang, Yang Bajie, and Zhan Jinguo also did a good job, and they did not let Yelu Guanyin take any advantage!" Sitting there Chai Yonghui, who was peeling pears by the bedside, said jokingly: "Your Guanyin was defeated, and you are still happy. You are really heartless!"
Yang Peng chuckled, "What do you mean by my phoenix?" Chai Yonghui rolled his eyes at Yang Peng, "Humph, do you think I don't know? Sister Yelu has already told me what happened between you and that Guanyin!"
Yang Peng touched his nose. Chai Yonghui handed over the peeled pear and said angrily: "Humph, you are really hateful! You are always merciful!" Yang Peng laughed and took the pear. Seeing the scarred appearance of the white and tender pear, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Little sister, do you have any grudge against this pear?"
Chai Yonghui blushed and reached out to take it: "If you don't want to eat it, just give it to me!" Yang Peng quickly dodged it, took a big bite, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and sighed: "It's delicious! It's so delicious! ! The pears peeled by my little sister are so delicious!" Chai Yonghui smiled happily, "If you like it, I'll peel another one for you." Then he picked up another pear and started peeling it, peeling off the skin and flesh piece by piece. It's really heartbreaking to drop it.
Yang Peng smiled and ate the pear in a few strokes. Jiang Li hurriedly walked into the room, came to the bedside, and handed over a letter, "Master, this is a military report sent by General Han Bing!"
Yang Peng quickly took the military newspaper, opened it, took out the letter paper, and read it. His brows gradually wrinkled. Seeing Yang Peng's expression, Chai Yonghui couldn't help but ask: "Are Han Bing and the others okay?" Yang Peng put down the military report and frowned: "The battle situation is not optimistic. We must transfer Xingfang, Eighth Sister Yang and the others back immediately!"
At the moment when Yang Peng was talking, the Yanyun Army and the Khitan Army were fighting fiercely over Cizhou, and the fight was fierce! The Khitan army had already crossed the Zhang River and was trying its best to expand its victory, while the Yanyun army, led by its generals, was desperately fighting back. A small hilltop called Queshan on the north bank. Because it controlled two large sections of the river upstream and downstream, the armies of both sides fought repeatedly and changed hands more than a dozen times. The hilltop was completely covered by the corpses of soldiers from both sides. Even the Zhanghe River was almost blocked by the corpses of soldiers from both sides!
As the Khitan general Pa Ba led a fierce attack, the remaining Yan Yun troops on Que Mountain could not resist and retreated. When Han Bing received the news, he became furious and ordered the retreating officers to be executed. He then personally commanded an army to fight back against Paba. Han Bing took the lead and led Yan Yun's army to charge desperately, advancing one after another. During the melee, Han Bing was hit by an arrow, but he broke the arrow and continued fighting, killing the Khitan general Pa Ba. The Khitan army could not resist and collapsed.
At this moment, the Khitan army retreated across the board, so suddenly! Han Bing felt very strange and quickly ordered his scouts to find out the news. Soon after, the scouts brought back news: The Gao Jiajun and Liu Jiajun (Liu Qi) of the southern court suddenly made a large-scale northward advance. The Goryeo Khitan army could not resist it and retreated in succession. Many states and counties were destroyed. The Song army took it away.
Han Bing thought that the court had suddenly enlightened and was very happy. He immediately reported the situation to Yanjing and asked for instructions on the next step. Yang Peng immediately replied, allowing Han Bing to attack according to the situation, cooperate with the Song army in the south, and strive to expel the Khitans in one go.
Shortly after this letter was delivered to Han Bing, the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the direct army and the fifth army that had been transferred to reinforce the north came back. Han Bing immediately made arrangements and transferred all these two forces to Yingtian Mansion, preparing to achieve a breakthrough against the Khitan Army and the Goryeo Army from that direction.
Dalan noticed Yan Yunjun's intention and immediately reported the situation to Brother Ye Qianxiu. Ye Qianxiu ordered the Khitan army under Dallan to immediately rush to the rescue of Yingtian Mansion, while the puppet troops under Liu Lin stayed in place to monitor Duan Zhixian's army in Puyang. As mentioned before, Dalan's 200,000 Khitan army and Liu Lin's 200,000 puppet army were divided into two groups, north and south, to attack Puyang, which is the fork of the Yellow River south of Daming Mansion. Now that Dalan's Khitan army has been transferred, then Duan Zhixian faced only the puppet army.
At the same time, Brother Ye Ganxiu personally commanded 200,000 Khitan troops to go south. At the same time, he ordered Xiao Qianbuli's 200,000 troops who were attacking Chengtian Army Stronghold to send 100,000 troops south to support.
A Khitan army of tens of thousands of people first met the Song army, which was advancing vigorously, at the gate of Shunchang City. This Song army was the Liu Jiajun led by Liu Qi. Although Liu Qi's troops were not as powerful as the Khitan army, they were not afraid. They immediately launched an attack as soon as they encountered them. Everyone moved forward bravely without fear of death. They actually defeated the Khitan army with a small number and defeated them in a row. Soon after, Khitan army reinforcements arrived, and Liu Qi successfully ambushed them halfway, killing the Khitan army and fleeing in embarrassment, abandoning their helmets and armor.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
