One Piece of Song Dynasty

In the Goryeo Palace, Wang Ma said: "Han Anren, just now Li Ziqian recommended Tuo Junjing as the coach, why didn't you object? Don't you know the relationship between Li Ziqian and Tuo Junjing?"

Han Anren replied: "Your Majesty, I can't help it. There is no general in the court who can match Tuo Junjing. It would be great if Wu Yan favored General Wu and died a few years later. Besides, Your Majesty, Tuo Junjing is here." Although he is related to Li Ziqian by relatives, it is not impossible to win over him."

Wang Ma sighed and said: "Okay, Han Aiqing, please step back first, and King Rong Gu will think about this matter carefully."

Han Anren cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

In Rifeng City, Ruan Xiaoqi hurriedly found Li Xin: "My lord, there is something unusual at Licheng Port in Gaoli. The number of ships there has been increasing in the past few days."

Li Xin stood up suddenly and said: "Okay, General Seven ordered the fleet to prepare to set sail, and then take the forty ships we captured with us. We are going to lay an ambush in front of the Licheng Port pier and capture the enemy fleet when it is about to leave the port. The enemy blocked the dock and fought."

Ruan Xiaoqi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord."

Li Xin and Ruan Xiaoqi led a fleet of ships to Licheng Port. Still kilometers away from Licheng Port, Li Xin ordered the fleet to stop sailing.

Li Xin called Zhang Rong: "Zhang Rong, you led the water ghost team to capture a few Korean sailors at night and came back. Don't alert the enemy."

Zhang Rong cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord."

In the evening, Zhang Rong quickly captured a few Goryeo sailors and returned. Li Xin said: "General Gao, ask them if the Goryeo fleet is ready and when it will set sail for Jeju Island."

Gao Shuo replied: "Yes, leader."

After a few questions and answers, Gao Shuo said: "Looking back, the prisoners said that the fleet is ready and will leave for Jeju Island tomorrow morning."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, General Seven, order the fleet to continue to rest and wait until : tomorrow to set sail for Licheng Port."

Ruan Xiaoqi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord."

Li Xin said: "Okay, you all go down, Zhang Rong stays."

After the others left, Li Xin ordered: "Zhang Rong, I will give your water ghost team another mission. Now take your water ghost team back to Licheng Port and quietly apply kerosene on the enemy's fleet with a cloth. On the hull, start painting from the periphery of the enemy fleet, and paint as many ships as you can. Each ship does not need to be painted so much, but it must be there, and it must be withdrawn at the last moment."

Zhang Rong cupped his fists and said, "Yes, my lord, I will finally get your order."

At Mao hour, Li Xin ordered the fleet to set sail for Licheng Port on time. At this time, Zhang Rong also led the Water Ghost Team to retreat. Although Li Xin brought a lot of kerosene, it was still not enough. The Water Ghost Team only The outermost ship was coated with kerosene.

When the fleet arrived ten miles away from Licheng Port, Li Xin ordered it to stop. You must know that Licheng Port is now full of ships. There are about ships with Licheng Port as the center and there are ships within a radius of five miles.

When there was still a moment before Chenshi, Li Xin ordered the fleet to set sail.

A quarter of an hour later, Tuo Junjing boarded his ship on time, but the supervisor Zheng Keyong had not arrived yet. Tuo Junjing had to wait for Zheng Keyong, but it didn't take long before Zheng Keyong arrived a quarter of an hour later than Tuo Junjing.

At this time, Li Xin had ordered the fleet to approach Yeiseong Port in a fan shape. The ships at the outermost edge of the Goryeo fleet could already see Li Xin's fleet. After discovering Li Xin's fleet, the Goryeo sailors quickly reported it and Get ready to sail.

After Zheng Keyong boarded Tuo Junjing's ship, Tuo Junjing sarcastically said: "Master Zheng arrived so early."

Zheng Keyong smiled and said: "It's not early, it's not too early. This is the first time for me to get up so early as a supervisor. I hope the marshal won't take offense. The command of this battle depends entirely on the marshal's efforts. I am just a spectator. The marshal does not need to take care of me."

Zheng Keyong was self-aware and knew that he did not understand military matters, so he declared in advance that all rights would be given to Tuo Junjing. Tuo Junjing was relieved to hear what Zheng Keyong said. As long as Zheng Keyong intervened, Tuo Junjing would still have a lot of power. Take Tamna Island with confidence.

So Tuo Junjing clasped his fists and said: "Then I would like to thank Lord Supervisor Jun. After this battle, I will be the host to treat Lord Supervisor Army to dinner."

Zheng Keyong replied: "Okay, then I will wait for the Marshal's banquet."

As soon as the two finished speaking, they heard the messenger say: "Commander, a large number of unknown ships were found outside the pier."

Tuo Junjing asked: "Is there a flag on the ship to identify myself?"

The messenger replied: "There is a flag, but it is a black skull and crossbones flag."

Tuo Junjing said: "Isn't this the flag of the pirates? I don't care about ordering the fleet to set sail first. How can we be blocked in the dock?"

The ordering soldier cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Commander."

After the messenger left, Zheng Keyong asked: "Why are they pirates? Could it be that they were pirates who occupied Tamna Island? No, if they were pirates, how could they eat up the advance fleet and even burn down a dock in a sneak attack?" "

Tuo Junjing said: "Don't even think about it, Bachelor Zheng. Maybe it's the Japanese pretending to be pirates. In short, no matter who it is, our fleet has to go out first. Now being blocked by the enemy fleet at the dock is not good for us."

At this time, Li Xin's fleet was less than meters away from the Goryeo fleet. Li Xin ordered: "General Seven, order the crossbowmen to fire rockets first, and then the fleet will move horizontally and prepare to fire at the enemy ships."

Ruan Xiaoqi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord."

Following Li Xin's order, countless rockets were fired at the Goryeo fleet. In an instant, the outermost ship of the Goryeo fleet began to burst into flames. Although there was only a breeze today, due to the excessive density of ships in Yecheng Port, the fire was still It ignited a group of ships close to the outlying ships.

When Tuo Junjing saw the fire, he was shocked and said: "It's over. Go quickly and send the order to push out all the burned boats in small boats. Open a passage for our boats to get out quickly, otherwise it will be over if they are all crowded together."

After receiving the order, the messenger around him quickly ran out to give the order. The Goryeo soldiers were able to execute orders at an acceptable speed. Soon a fire ship was pushed out. Once the passage was established, the ships at the pier began to move out. However, Li Xin's fleet outside the fire ship was already ready. As long as there was a ship, Greet you with a cannon when you come out.

As a result, the ships rushing out were sunk or damaged, causing several passages to be blocked again, and the fire continued to spread to the surrounding areas.

Tuo Junjing and Zheng Keyong anxiously looked at the situation in the distance, and the soldiers came to report: "Commander, although several channels have been opened, our ship cannot get out. The enemy's ship is waiting outside the fire scene. As long as we have When the ship went out, it was destroyed or damaged by the enemy ship, blocking the channel again. The enemy ship seemed to have an unknown weapon that could shoot our ships from a distance. It was very powerful, and it was not a crossbow or other weapons. .”
