The thirty-fourth episode of abdominal rupture and intestinal flow, Lanli invited to fight, lured the enemy into the battle flag
Shi Lang, who landed on Penghu Island, endured the pain and led Yao Qisheng, Wu Ying and others to inspect the new camp in the rain. When they returned to the camp, the sky had cleared. At this time, the wind stopped raining and the waning moon was shining.
, the sea waves are not too noisy, and the islands lying quietly on the sea after the war add a bit of sadness.
"Liu Guoxuan suffered a lot of losses this time, so he had no choice but to flee to Lu'ermen." Shi Lang drank a cup of hot tea and felt better. He said to Yao Qisheng and Wu Ying who were sitting at the table in deep thought: "Today, ten of my ships sank.
Forty-five enemy ships were sunk, and many others were injured. Liu Guoxuan no longer has the strength to fight at sea. But there are many reefs around Luermen, making landing difficult. It seems that there is still a fierce battle!"
Wu Ying held the tea bowl and smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about the army, I am willing to be the vanguard and go to the beach at Lu'ermen!" "We can't fight immediately now." Yao Qisheng's eyes were red from the sting of the sea water, and he looked very tired, and thrust in
Lai said: "Since ancient times, we have killed 10,000 people and lost 3,000 to ourselves. Although our army's morale is high, it is also very tired. Although it is only a day's journey from here to Lu'ermen, the weather is changeable, and food and fresh water need to be replenished.
." Wu Ying said with a smile: "When Liu Guoxuan was defeated and left, Mr. Li had already shipped the grain to the ship, and it will be delivered about tomorrow."
"Li Jinqing has worked hard this time!" Shi Lang sighed, "When he came, I prevented him from getting off the stage. Now I regret it." Yao Qisheng smiled and said: "Brother Shi, don't worry about this, his fame
My career is all about you, so how can I take care of you? I'm afraid he might suspect that I'm instigating him, so I'm following you to avoid trouble!"
This saying is very profound. Yao Qisheng followed Shi Lang into the sea in order to avoid the "gong people" and preferred to be a "gong dog". The "gong dogs" performed meritorious service in the front, and the "gong people" were rewarded in the back. If the meritor gets the full merit
Dog, that's not even a "meritor"! The word "avoiding misfortune" is really apt. Wu Ying didn't understand, but Shi Lang was enlightened and said with a smile: "You are really thoughtful and considerate -
—I understand what you mean, and I feel relieved. The supplies have arrived, and the wounded soldiers have to be transported back to Fuzhou. Let Lan Li and the others go back first!"
"Military Gate!"
Lan Li had already barged in at some point. His face was pale and blue due to heavy blood loss, and his belly was wrapped in cloth and had a bulge, but he still seemed to be in good spirits. Lan Li yelled, saluted and said
: "I don't have the power of size yet, why are you sending me back?"
The three of them were startled. Shi Lang quickly asked Lan Li to sit down, pressed his shoulder and said, "Good brother, why are you here? - Didn't I tell you to lie down just now? - Who said you have no merit?
If you hadn't been resisting at the front, my flagship would have engaged the enemy in hand-to-hand combat! You killed so many enemies and captured their vanguard ship. This is your first achievement! Brother Lan Li, you are so seriously injured.
, even an iron man needs to be welded!" Wu Ying also laughed and said: "Old Lan, don't rely on your strength. Should everyone share the credit if you have any? I also want to get a red hat to wear?"
"I came from a background where I had to do big jobs. I had never had a full meal since I was a child. I was so angry with my foreman! I was building the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City. The emperor promoted me because I was not talented in literature or smarter than others.
Seeing how powerful I am, it would be a pity not to serve the country. Now that I go back like this, I am so ashamed!" Thinking back to the past events of Xiu Taihe Hall, Lan Li's eyes couldn't help but turn red, "...
...How should I tell the emperor? That I lost my own ship and hid on the enemy's ship? That I competed with my younger brother, who risked his life to save me, but I didn't even take revenge and went back to escape? Should I kill him?
Young thief, but all my brothers on the ship were killed in battle, you want me to go and collect the reward alone?..."
Shi Lang saw that the big man was so moved that he stood up. After a long while, Fang sighed: "The emperor has mentioned your matter to me. I know that you have been deeply favored, and now you feel that you owe others a debt of friendship—— But I’ve seen your injury, and it’s useless!” “Speaking of injuries, don’t you...” Lan Li choked up and said, “Since the army knows that I have been deeply favored, they should let me see Long live the Lord. I have something to say!"
The matter was settled like this. Two days later, 250 warships replenished their supplies with firewood, grain, rice and fresh water, and weighed anchor and arrived at Luermen. Luermen is a large island in the southern part of the Penghu Islands, leading to the North Gate Port of Taiwan. Liu Guoxuan set up a second line of defense here to protect Taiwan's mainland. After several years of operation, the island was connected with villages, the Luzhai elevated road, and the dense reefs around the island made it a dangerous place. Shi Lang's fleet was half way from the Lu'ermen port. They anchored and camped far away, and tried every possible means to lure Liu Guoxuan into battle, but Liu Guoxuan just stayed on the shore and fired fire bombs and rockets into the sea. The remaining one hundred ships stayed in the bay and refused to come out. Feeling poor.
Sure enough, the wind picked up on the third day, rolling up huge waves more than ten feet high and hitting the water village. Veterans with many years of experience became seasick. Some ships were hit by gunfire and penetrated the water tank. The situation became tense.
"This can't go on like this!" Shi Lang stood on the deck, observing the situation of the Luermen defenders, and said decisively, "The wind is so strong that it won't stop for a day or two. We must defeat the enemy today and tomorrow!"
Yao Qisheng's face turned pale from vomiting, but he still managed to hold on and said: "If the tide does not rise at Lu'ermen, the boat will not be able to reach it! We have to try to lure them out of the boat... before we can do it!" Chen Mang took a step forward and said loudly: " Military Gate, I am willing to lure the enemy!" Shi Lang gritted his teeth and thought for a long time, then said: "From now on, until I come back, the entire army will be commanded by Yao Qisheng!"
Everyone was immediately shocked. Yao Qisheng said: "You are the coach, so why not? If you want to go to me, I will go!"
"How can you do this? We are all acquaintances with them. We have been waiting for us to meet each other for many years." Shi Lang smiled and said, "I personally took the flagship and pretended to be on the beach. I will definitely lure him into battle!" Yao Qisheng even forgot about seasickness. He asked anxiously: "Is it stranded?" Shi Lang said: "If we don't run aground, we can occupy a foothold on the shore. Liu Guoxuan dare not ignore it - if it runs aground, Liu Guoxuan will send ships to besiege our ship. Then you guys This will cut off his retreat, and he will have no choice but to surrender!"
"Do you have to go?" Yao Qisheng's voice trembled slightly.
Shi Lang nodded and said nothing.
"Commander!" Wu Ying and Chen Mang knelt down on one knee at the same time. "There is no need to touch your children here!" Shi Lang scolded sternly, "Get off the sampan and get on the rear ship! If my ship sinks, or Stranded, you immediately raise the flag and take command!" Seeing the three people getting off the sampan with tears in their eyes, Shi Lang drew his sword in his hand and yelled with an angry look: "The flagship and the Chinese frigate anchored and attacked the Lu'ermen beach!" At this time, the cannons covering the back were covered. The sound has already sounded.
Sure enough, when it was more than thirty feet away from the beach, Shi Lang's ship really ran aground on the beach. The ten beach-guarding cannons on the fort came over headlessly with muskets and shotguns, but they were quickly defeated by Wu Ying's artillery. Pressed down. After a while, the sound of drums was heard on the shore like heavy rain. More than ninety warships rushed out of the harbor and outflanked Shi Lang without hesitation. The artillery fire on the sea immediately sounded like a pot of porridge. ——Yao Qisheng saw that he had succeeded in luring the enemy, and waved the red flag in his hand. The flag on the Shi Lang ship fell with a "whoosh", and a brand new dragon flag on the Wu Ying ship slowly rose. ——Lan Li straightened his sword upright on the bow of the ship, leading twenty The remaining ships rushed to meet Shi Lang. Another one hundred and fifty ships turned around and rushed towards the port. In an instant, the sea, sky, clouds and water were filled with flames of war in all directions.
This was truly an unprecedented naval battle. The total number of sailors invested by both sides amounted to more than 40,000, and more than 500 ships were rushing back and forth, some rushing, some blocking, and going back and forth. The sound of killing covered the sound of the waves, and more than 70 warships were on fire.
The sea was crackling and burning, and ships sank from time to time. The burning ships were crowded together, and sailors from both sides jumped into the sea one after another, fighting in the water, and the blood dyed a large area of the water red. They fought until dusk, and the Qing Dynasty
Only then did the army occupy the Luermen port and seize the fort. Only the beachhead position was still in the hands of the Zheng family soldiers.
Liu Guoxuan, who had been fooled, saw that there was no way out, so he ordered the remaining thirty or so ships to gather together. Relying on their familiarity with the water situation, they fought with Lan Li while forcing Shi Lang. Lan Li was eager to save people and led his fleet in pursuit.
They fought fiercely, but were accidentally led to the shallow water beach. In the blink of an eye, fifteen of the twenty ships were stranded. The remaining ships fled in a hurry and were overturned by Liu Guoxuan's cannons in the sea. Liu Guoxuan laughed loudly with his sword.
, said to the left and right: "Although we are defeated, capturing Shi Lang alive is still an achievement!" He pointed at Lan Li and shouted loudly, "Lan, it's ridiculous that a warrior like you is buried here! The tide in Lu'ermen only rises once every few decades, you
Even Nezha's reincarnation can't save your coach. You and Shi Lang can survive tonight, but they can't survive tomorrow!" Then he ordered, "Fortify a stronghold on the water, capture Shi Lang alive tomorrow, and return to Taiwan to fight again!"
The first thing Yao Qisheng did when he landed was to take Wu Ying to the fort. The beach below was still in the hands of Zheng's army. A little further out on the sea, Shi Lang and Lan Li's ships were stranded. The cannons on the fort were all fixed.
, which was designed to attack ships on the sea, but could not be used to suppress the firepower on the beach, so Wu Ying ordered the soldiers to raise the back of the cannon and shorten the firing range to the beach. Once ashore, Yao Qisheng's seasickness improved.
. He held the telescope and looked at the sea for a long time. Then he walked up to Wu Ying, twitched his lips and called out softly: "General Wu."
"Junmen," Wu Ying said hurriedly, "What orders do you have?"
"I can't say it's an order." Yao Qisheng said, "I asked just now and they said the tide never rises here. Is that true or not?"
Wu Ying pondered for a moment and said: "Before going to the sea, Shi Junmen said that it was difficult to attack here. Lu'ermen has not had a high tide for more than 20 years. He said that if there was a high tide, the big ship could go straight to the beach. Alas, I'm afraid it's hard to hope.
ah!"
Yao Qisheng took a step forward, frowned and looked at the sea, then turned around and said: "Wu Ying, this cannon can only be padded half way, let's keep half..." "Why?" Wu Ying looked at Yao Qisheng in surprise,
Then he looked at Shi Lang's ship within the range, and suddenly understood what Yao Qisheng meant. He couldn't help but shudder, took a step back, and asked in horror: "Could it be that you..." Yao Qisheng nodded sadly and said: "The five
The door is reserved for...Shi Junmen...to die for the country."
Wu Ying's face turned completely pale, and suddenly turned red again. He pressed his sword and took a step back, yelling with an angry look: "You...you dare!" Yao Qisheng looked at no one around and smiled bitterly: "Do you think I am willing? Or
Do you want me to take the credit? Let me tell you, if it really happens... like that, I will take the medicine and die immediately! What kind of friendship do I have with Shi Lang? You still don’t understand?"
"Then, why?" Wu Ying was shocked by Yao Qisheng's gaze. She immediately stamped her feet, squatted on the ground with her head in her hands and cried loudly, "No! No no! I can't..."
Yao Qisheng's face was frighteningly pale. He took a step closer and said, "This is the emperor's secret order..."
"Ah?" Wu Ying suddenly raised her head and stared at Yao Qisheng.
"If Shi Lang does something strange," Yao Qisheng said, "I have to take action. The country and the country are the most important thing. Shi Lang's personal responsibility is... light!" He looked uneasily at the darkening sea surface and said slowly, "Of course.
This cannot be done unless it is a last resort. But Lao Shi is from there after all. If he surrenders or is captured, Taiwan will have bargaining capital... After several years of preparation and a bloody battle, what can the court lose?
…”
Wu Ying raised her head, looked at the sea with tearful eyes, and walked hesitantly towards the gun emplacement...
"Come back!" Yao Qisheng suddenly shouted, explaining word by word, "Just say that he was guarding Shi Junmen and bombarding Liu Guoxuan! - The military secrets are not secret, and the whole family will be destroyed. You have to understand!"
It was dark. The sea was silent, except for the rhythmic "swishing" sound of the waves that had lasted for thousands of years at Lu'ermen, as if they didn't care about the rise and fall of the world, the joys and sorrows of the world.
There are still three sailors alive on Shi Lang's ship. The corpses of those who died in battle are stacked at the other end of the ship. The inky black sea below is endless, and only the corpses can be vaguely seen floating in the sparkling light.
"It's finally over." Shi Lang smiled bitterly. Not far away was Liu Guoxuan's fleet, and it seemed that he was determined to win tomorrow. Liu Guoxuan was Zheng Chenggong's confidant, and he was also the one who killed his father. He would never let him go easily. Shi Lang
Thinking deeply, Shi Lang took a few steps on the stranded ship. He really wanted to jump off here and die! After thinking for a while, Shi Lang called three sailors and said with a smile: "It seems that this is the place where we will die.
It's a pity that I don't pay more attention to you on weekdays..."
The three sailors were not very old, and their faces could not be seen clearly in the dark. They could only faintly see six bright eyes twinkling. After a long time, an older man smiled and said in a Minnan dialect: "Sir, you are going to die."
Come on, what can't we do? I've cut down six of them today. Damn it, I've already done that! What's there to regret?" Shi Lang sat with his knees crossed, looking up at the stars, and said, "We are here
Be loyal! According to my calculations, there will be a tide in Lu'ermen this year. I don't know if you will encounter it or not. If you can escape this disaster, I, Shi Lang, will definitely praise you - I'm afraid it may not be such a coincidence!"
The four people were silent. Luermen has experienced a surge since the first year of Kangxi. It has been more than 20 years. How can anyone expect it?
But the coincidence was unbelievable. The God of Creation actually came to visit. In the early morning of the next day, the tide rose, and it rose in the misty fog. The tide was more than one foot high, surging and sending out
The whistling and roaring sounds of thousands of troops and horses rushed over from far to near, shaking the mountains and the earth. The first row of waves caused Shi Lang's ship to shake violently.
"Oh my God, the tide!" Shi Lang was startled at first. The heavy fog had already made him lucky. The tide was coming again! While he was in a daze, another tide came over. Lao Gao lifted the ship up and was able to leave the beach and float in the sea.
Swirling freely. Shi Lang, like a sleepwalker, walked along the ship with his legs weak, and suddenly burst into a harsh laugh: "Tide! It's really a tide... hahahaha!" It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
He devoutly looked up at the vast sky and murmured, "The emperor is blessed, and the ancestors are blessed! Shi Langdang played long live today, canonized the God of the Sea, rebuilt the golden body, and rebuilt the temple!" As he spoke, Chen Mang's fleet was already here.
As they drove over to pick up the truck, Lan Li's screams of surprise came from not far away.
Liu Guoxuan did not order any more attacks. He seemed to have been struck by lightning. He stared at the turbulent waves like an idiot. After a long time, he let out a cry that sounded like crying and laughing. His legs went weak and he knelt on the deck, breathing heavily and saying with difficulty: "
The late king started his own business and led his ships to Taiwan to defeat Hongmao. The tide rose at Luermen... Decades later, Shi Lang came to attack, and the tide rose again at Luermen. This is... it is God's will, it is God's will!" After that, he stood up slowly, looking back.
The military guard leader smiled and said, "You lead the ship back to Taiwan and say something to Liu Guoxuan: If Shi Lang is willing to ignore the past grievances, not damage the ancestral temple, not kill the ministers, and not plunder the people..." He choked up, "Then...then...
... Surrender!" After saying this, he pulled the sword suddenly... and his tall body fell into the mad tide. A big wave came over and he was swept away. (To be continued)
