    Chapter 261 Bloody Battle Liang Hongyu has been very busy, and it was not until three days later that the fleet officially took turns to enter the port for supplies.  Since it is a temporary dock in Goryeo, only one ship can dock at a time.  Or say that not all seasides can build ports.  Of course, it is also possible to transport goods to large ships by small boats, but that is obviously a lot more troublesome.  There are three direct supply terminals in Hangzhou, and there are two in other places such as Haizhou.  This is all done using nature and manpower, which is quite difficult.  On the fifth day, the fleet finally set sail.  As soon as the fleet set sail, Liang Hongyu pulled Ouyang to talk: "I heard that you did something bad." "It's not that you did something bad, but you met a friend." "Friend?" "Well, Wanyan Zongbi." "Everywhere in Hatian Yin Town  Post the portraits of you and Zhan Ming, and Wanyan Zongbi. Wanyan Zongbi caused harm to the Jurchen merchants, and you caused trouble to the Song merchants. Most of the Song merchants were afraid of the Goryeo gangsters, and now the whole Tianyin Town is dead."  Ouyang smiled and said: "I think they still dare to arrest me." Liang Hongyu asked: "But Master Zong Zezong will definitely explain the matter to Li Gang. I'll see how you explain it then." Ouyang said: "Madam,  The emperor means that we are not prohibited from communicating, but we must keep a low profile. Even if the emperor knows about it, he will pretend that he doesn't know. " " Wait a minute.  After Jin Liao, I will disarm and return to the field, so that I can serve you." Liang Hongyu sighed: "I owe you a lot." "Well, it's more than one million yuan." Ouyang said, "I will go to Yangping in August when I have time.  Wife. "" To get to the Binfu Palace, we have to sail around the Korean Peninsula for about ten days.  But what everyone didn't expect was that Liang Hongyu's ten warships ran into trouble after crossing the Korean Peninsula.  It was early one morning, and there was mist floating on the sea.  A sound of gunfire came from the position of the scout ship at the head of the platoon.  Lookouts on all warships were raised.  According to the combat preparedness taught by Ouyang, the sound of cannons means there is an enemy, and everyone must enter combat positions.  But even Liang Hongyu thought it was not necessary and sent only lookouts.  "Engage the enemy." The lookout shouted loudly: "At least seven ships, possibly equipped with firearms." "Drum beating" Liang Hongyu ordered: "Deploy a circular formation." The circular formation is a defensive formation when the enemy's situation is unknown. Everyone will move the flagship  Protect yourself as well as yourself, and wait for the situation.  Ouyang got on the deck and looked from a distance. There seemed to be something in the distance, but it seemed like an illusion.  It wasn't until the sun rose and shone brightly that Ouyang realized that the suspected object he had just discovered was a rail pole.  And it will definitely not be the rails of a merchant ship.  From this point, we can also verify that the earth is round.  Ouyang said to Zhan Ming next to him: "You are lucky. I have been floating on the boat for so long, and this is the first time I have encountered this situation." Zhan Ming smiled bitterly: "You can just say that I am a bad person." Ouyang has not answered yet.  , the lookout shouted: "Reconnaissance on the left and right, there are thirteen enemy ships, equipped with firearms, lined up in a row, looking bad." "Oops" Liang Hongyu was covered in cold sweat, she really engaged the enemy.  At present, I am not only facing the wind but also facing the light. I am in a minority position against the majority, which puts me at a huge disadvantage.  Immediately ordered: "Order, the first ship, the second ship, and the third ship are all commanded by ship No. 1 to seize the limelight. No. 4, No. 3 and No. 5 are the left and right scouts to immediately find out the origin of the enemy ships." Zhan Ming asked in a low voice: "Sir, will you watch?  It can't be General Li Bao who is back. "No, Li Bao is not that ignorant." Ouyang said: "No ships are flying flags."  Maybe they are Jurchens. If they are Jurchens, they should have started building ships earlier than we knew." The lookout shouted: "There are a total of eighteen enemy ships, and five enemy ships have no flags to intercept our ships.  "Sir, what does this mean?" "This means that the other party is hostile," Ouyang said, "If there is no hostility, they will follow the tampering ship and maintain the current status."  That means there is an intention to start a war." "Ah" everyone said in surprise at the same time.  Ouyang was also surprised and said to the confused Zhan Ming: "The wind has stopped." "What does it mean?" Ouyang said: "Unlike inland sailing, which mainly relies on currents and manpower, sailing on the sea relies on the wind. Even now everyone  Unable to move forward or retreat." The lookout shouted: "Inform the No. 1 ship that it has reached the attack range and ask if it will attack." Liang Hongyu objected: "We will not attack for the time being." The layman Zhan Ming asked again.  Ouyang explained: "Our fleet formation has not yet been deployed, and we don't know when the wind will blow or what kind of wind it will blow. Ship No. 1 still has room to adjust."This kind of naval battle cannot be fought with just one ship, it must allow the large force to have a better attack posture.  Now most of the enemy's ships have deployed, but we are still defending in a circle, so we will not attack for the time being.  " The deck was very busy, but on both sides of the deck, two groups of soldiers squatted neatly, with hand cannons, torches and flints beside them. After all, they were a long-distance voyage force, and they had a few points against the enemy. Ouyang whispered: "If the enemy ship  With heavy artillery and firearms like ours, this battle would be brutal.  Even if they steal the limelight, it is difficult to win completely due to the opponent's numerical advantage.  " Zhan Ming asked in a low voice: "Is it possible to be completely defeated?  " " Quite possible.  Ouyang said: "Our ship is an army, and we will definitely receive special care when we fight."  There is also a supply ship that has no combat capabilities and is probably also a target.  ***, the Jurchens are so quick.  " What Ouyang didn't know was that Wanyan Loushi, commander of the Jurchen warships on the opposite side, was also dumbfounded. These ships were not used for decisive battles with the Song Dynasty fleet. They were used to rob merchant ships and ports everywhere. But in the current situation, both sides  Not daring to retreat easily from the battle, Wanyan Loushi was also a famous Jurchen general who had captured Yelu Dashi alive. If the Song people attacked first, they would fight to seize the Song warships to make up for the possible losses in the Jurchen battle.  The ship was conceived as early as Wanyan Aguda, and its purpose was not for strategic purposes, but for plundering merchant ships or plundering people. This was also the beginning of the Song Dynasty's Temasek piracy and fleet patrols.  The barbaric behavior of the sea greatly inspired the Jurchens, but Ouyang did not know that one year after the battle at Hubugang, three Jurchens came to Japan and plundered more than 200 people (historical records).  I had already made up my mind about the ocean. But something more strange happened. Due to ocean currents and other reasons, the No. 1 ship was slowly approaching a Jurchen ship. This situation made the captains of the two ships extremely nervous.  The crew prayed that the wind would pick up soon, but the sea was like this. It might be windy all year long, or there might be no breeze for two or three days. When the sun was strong, the distance between the two ships was only a hundred meters, and both sides could clearly see each other's ship.  The appearance of the soldiers, as well as the side guns that had been pushed out to expose the muzzles, both sides had changed from solid bullets to incendiary bombs. The lookout reported: "There are twenty guns on one side of the enemy ship, and about one hundred and twenty to one soldiers."  One hundred and eighty people.  " Ouyang was shocked. The shipbuilding plans might have been leaked. It is not difficult to build a ship with the blueprints and craftsmen. According to the report, the performance of the cannons on our side is relatively good, the range can be dozens of steps farther, and it is more durable. But the enemy has a large number of enemies.  Advantage. This time we really encountered a tough battle. When Ouyang went to the captain's room, he saw Liang Hongyu frowning and said, "General Liang, can we not fight?"  "    "Do not hit?  Liang Hongyu shook her head: "I'm afraid the other party doesn't think so."  Let me ask you, you have eighteen warships, the opponent has ten, and one is a supply ship. Do you want to fight?  " "of course.  "Ouyang Khan. Liang Hongyu stood up, pulled Ouyang to the window and whispered: "What?  Scared?  " "Don't be afraid, but this battle will be tragic.  "    "kindness.  Liang Hongyu said: "If the wind blows, I will probably see red. I am very happy to have you by my side."  "    "I am also very happy.  Ouyang said: "Even so, you can't give up your escape plan."  " "" Liang Hongyu was speechless. Escape is impossible. There is no precedent for the Hangzhou fleet to escape, and it must not be started by itself. Through the long voyage, the fleet's self-esteem and sense of honor are much stronger than those of the land forbidden army. In addition, the fleet is an individual  With the cohesion of everyone, we are like brothers and sisters. How could we watch a friendly ship being attacked and escape by ourselves? Liang Hongyu said: "I would rather die in battle than retreat.  " "Bullshit" Ouyang was dissatisfied. "You taught me.  Liang Hongyu smiled and said: "You told me that it is a way to cultivate the navy's sense of honor."  There is something about the Navy that the Army can never match.  " "" Ouyang said helplessly: "I mean, pull off my balls."  " "You are going to die.  "Liang Hongyu stuck her head out and shouted: "I told you to make rice, you must eat it.  " The wind still didn't rise. After the meal, the situation became more tense. The No. 1 ship was only twenty meters away from the enemy ship. The crews of the two ships looked at each other quietly. They had not eaten and were on guard. Thirty meters  It was already far enough to dock. Although Ouyang could not see clearly, the lookout kept reporting the situation of the two ships. Ouyang believed that if anyone moved, the two ships would be in a life-and-death struggle. Liang Hongyu also stood on the deck and asked:  "The Jurchens have no flag bearers, how can they give orders?  Which is their flagship?  "It has been clearly seen that they are dressed as Jurchens. A staff officer reported: "There is reverberation of gongs and drums on the enemy ship. It is a good guess that the gongs and drums are signaling orders.  Their flagship cannot be confirmed.  ¡±   "Let the scouts on the left and right find out." "Yes" Liang Hongyu asked Ouyang: "What do you think?" Ouyang has experienced a lot of battles, and he has cooperated with famous generals, and he has also made great achievements.  " "Do you want to spend money to buy a boat?  Ouyang smiled bitterly and said, "If you have to fight, then strike first to gain the upper hand."  Don't wait for others to open fire before taking action yourself. According to psychological research, regardless of the tension between the two sides, at this stage both sides are the most relaxed.  "For example, when fishing, keep looking at the buoy. If you look at it for a long time, you will become numb. You will only come back to your senses when the buoy moves. But when you just start to lower the buoy, the buoy will move immediately, and the reaction time will be greatly accelerated. "Notify the No. 1 ship to prepare for battle.  "Liang Hongyu ordered: "The first round of incendiary bombs should be raised as high as possible to the attack deck.  After two rounds of the hand cannon, it avoids arrows and engages with the short blade.  " The flag message was quickly spread. The lookout hand of Song's flagship held the red flag high and did not put it down, waiting for the order from the deck. The lookout hand of the No. 1 ship also stared at the red flag of the flagship. Zhao Yu ordered: "Hit" and the lookout hand of the flagship decisively lowered it.  With the red flag, the No. 1 ship started a life-and-death struggle. Obviously, because of Ouyang, the No. 1 ship took advantage of the attack with one round of cannons and one round of hand cannons. After the second round of hand cannons passed, the soldiers in the front row were awakened.  Liang Hongyu raised her shield and blocked most of the arrows, but she didn't expect that the enemy ship also had a small number of hand cannons. She quickly closed the distance between the two ships by hooking the rope.  At the same time, the Jurchen gunners' first round of cannons hit almost all of the side of the Song ship, hitting more than a dozen holes. However, apart from the gunner casualties and damage to the hull, the other damage was not serious. "  Don't charge the ship, don't light the hand cannon, just throw it as hard as you can.  " This order was quickly conveyed, and the Song army immediately raised their shields in the first row, and threw injured hand cannons wildly in the rear row. And other soldiers moved out boxes of deadly grenades. For a while, the Jurchen ship was in full bloom. Although there were a few  Not afraid of death, they rushed through the flames to reach Song's boat, but they were caught in the tiger's mouth. All the Song troops carried short blades, and they were easily eliminated in groups of three. "The wind is blowing." Liang Hongyu hurriedly looked at the flag. It was a northeast wind.  The fleet occupies the west, and the Jurchens occupies the due east, so don't think that everyone is a cannon. The wind is very important. The time it takes for the upwind ship to turn the rudder is much less than that of the leeward ship.  This ensures that one's side is exposed first, and one can calmly control whether to engage the enemy's side, giving him a great deal of initiative. Furthermore, the cannonballs can hit farther downwind and escape quickly. Liang Hongyu ordered: "Ship No. 1 disengaged.  , for heavy artillery.  Number two and number three gain the upper hand.  The left and right scouts immediately identified the enemy flagship.  " So the first large-scale naval battle began. Four Jurchen ships and two Song ships began to seize the northeastern position. Although Liang Hongyu's main army suffered a loss, the positions of ships No. 2 and 3 were very good, and the two captains were also people with combat experience. Arrived  The two ships turned their rudders left and right and used the favorable wind to attack the enemy ships coming upwind. The two ships used the favorable wind to turn their rudders and fired most of the twenty cannons at the enemy's bow.  Hit the enemy ship. After three consecutive rounds of bombardment, the enemy ship was not only blown open, but the deck was severely damaged.  "The Song ship turned again and used its boat to absorb the bombardment of the Jurchen ship. The side of the Jurchen ship that had been preparing to wait hit the side of the Jurchen ship that had finished firing and was loading ammunition. This round of fighting was more fierce. The Jurchen ship  One side basically lost its combat power, and the hull began to sink. After each of the two ships destroyed half of the ship, they turned to the other two ships and crossed each other.  At the same time, the two ships immediately became entangled, and then began a deck battle. Seeing this, the two disabled Jurchen ships did not dare to fire, so they could only try to get closer to the side, but the hulls were seriously damaged and it would take a long time.  There were five Jurchen ships in the battle, and Song had three. However, due to proper tactical arrangements, the Song army had a slight advantage. At this time, the Jurchen forces began to approach the supply ship behind the flagship, but they were not sure which ship was the flagship.  The supply ship will never make a mistake. The two sides are preparing to fight. Except for the scout ship taking advantage of the wind, Liang Hongyu is not optimistic in all aspects. The only advantage he can use is less wind power than the enemy.  The army had the number of hand cannons, but the Jurchens had rockets. Liang Hongyu shouted: "The scouts on the left and right should not go into battle, and be aware of the flagship attack.  "The lookout hand reported: "The scouts on the left and right are looking for arrows.  " "Too close.  "Liang Hongyu sighed and said: "I ordered that the two ships protect each other.  " Zhan Ming said: "My lord, please be careful. If you look at this posture, you will be on the other side.  "He also saw that the Jurchens wanted to seize the ship. "Don't worry.  Ouyang said: "You have to be careful yourself too."  "As Zhan Ming and most people thought, the Jurchen thirteen ships and the Song Dynasty's six war ships, including the scout ship, had one supplyThe boat was all tangled up.  Naturally, the Song people did not want to join the Jurchens, but because they were at leeward and the performance of the two ships was almost the same, the Jurchens took the opportunity and took the initiative to force the ship to join the ship.  The hook ropes entangled all twenty ships.  The Song army's large shield and hand cannon took a lot of advantage.  Coupled with the short blade equipped, it can move freely.  There are only about two hundred people on a ship, and the battle deck is so big that four hundred people can't swing the sword even if they are crowded together, so the short blade has a lot of room for movement.  But the Jurchen archery is really powerful. Several Jurchens were on the lookout, shooting down the Song army like snipers.  The weapons of the Song Army were beyond their reach, so they had to blow up the rail poles first.  The Jurchens were brave, but not as accustomed to fighting on board as the Song army.  These are all people who have been on long voyages. Over the years, their lives on board have been n times longer than on land.  But the Jurchens were too numerous.  Even Ouyang participated in the battle.  Ouyang had never been exposed to weapons, so he used a hand cannon.  Under the protection of four large shields, safety is still guaranteed.  The most dazzling person in the audience was Zhan Ming. This martial arts master took advantage of every step in the battle.  There is not enough space, so he grabs the back of the knife and kills people. His hands and feet are all murder weapons.  Driving all the way, the Jurchens were all timid, and they had no generals under their command.  His deadly weapons always appear at the enemy's vital points from the most suitable angle.  The captains of two Jurchen ships have died under his hands.  Ouyang was very dissatisfied with the Jurchens. In the West, the captain died and everyone else stopped fighting.  How could it be that the captain was dead and everyone was clamoring for revenge.  I took the time to look at my wife. Her weapon was not a short blade, but a spear.  It is extremely vicious when swung around, and can even kill someone in a corner.  Although the Song army had a partial advantage, that was because not all the Jurchen ships had approached, and the soldiers of the five ships had not yet joined the battle because they had not fully joined the ship or because there were too many people to squeeze in.  Seeing this situation, Liang Hongyu finally gritted her teeth and said: "Hold on until dark." There was still hope of breaking out after dark, but it would take another two hours.  Song Fleet¡¯s blind arrogance finally paid the price.  Although they knew that the enemy was building ships and had the armed capabilities of nearly twenty ships, they only sent ten ships to check.  This cannot be blamed on Yue Fei, because he had no ships to send.  He was responsible for picking up soldiers from Hebei East Road to Goryeo, repairing ships, and transporting supplies.  Almost all of his supply ships were drafted as transport vessels.  Because his boss believed that there was no powerful fleet in the waters near Song Dynasty, not even relatively large fishing boats.
