Chapter 202 The 28 Generals of Yuntai ([-])

One month later

Bohai Liaodong Bay

This sea area is located between Liaoxi County and Liaodong County. The largest island in the sea area is called Taohua Island. It was occupied by the Wang family decades ago and a port was built on it.

There are only a hundred people on Peach Blossom Island, but there are a large number of ships moored at the moment, especially warships.

In order to cut off the grain road, Wang Bian brought not only two hundred soldiers from the county, but also the soldiers of the Wang family and many sailors.

Among them is Lu Yanjun's pirate formation.

50 people make a boat, a total of seven warships, including six small warships and one medium warship.

Four small warships were commanded by four princes, each with fifty soldiers from Liaodong County, one small warship was commanded by Lu Yanjun, a total of 42 pirates, and the medium warship was commanded by Wang Bian himself, a total of ten Guards and a hundred security guards.

"set sail!"

"set sail!"

Seven warships set sail to intercept the grain transport ship from Yuyang County.

……

Yuyang County

Yongnu County

At the dock, dozens of small cargo ships and several medium-sized cargo ships are loading grain and salt, ready to be transported to the front line.

Geng Yan, the son of Geng Kuang, the prefect of Shanggu County, was in charge of commanding the fleet of cargo ships.

Geng Yan is now a 23-year-old young man, full of passion and eager to make contributions.

A few months ago, the counties in Youzhou, except for Liaodong, had all been attached to Liu Xiu in name.

Liaodong expressed goodwill and wanted to cooperate with Peng Chong and establish a chamber of commerce, but Peng Chong decided to launch a military attack on Liaodong under the persuasion of many Yuyang tyrants.

Geng Kuang, the prefect of Shanggu County, was a friend of Peng Chong, so he sent troops to assist Peng Chong together, and sent his son Geng Yan to transport grain and grass at sea for Peng Chong.

"set sail!"

After all the grain and grass were loaded, the grain transport fleet also set sail and moved along the coastline.

three days later

As expected, transporting grain by sea was much faster than transporting grain by land. It took only three or four days to reach the sea area of ​​western Liaoning. If it was by land, it might take a month.

"Little Liaodong dares to hit a stone with an egg. It's beyond self-control." A grain transport officer in the grain transport fleet laughed disdainfully.

He has already seen a bright future in which Liaodong was trampled by the coalition forces of the four counties and countless wealth was plundered by them.

"Hehe..." Geng Yan didn't say much, the strength of the two sides was very different, and there was no suspense in this war.

At this moment, many ships appeared on the horizon, which were smaller than their cargo ships.

But those ships are very strange, the hull is very narrow and long, and the bow has iron spikes. They are obviously small ships, but they are very tall, as high as their big ships.

"Could it be a merchant ship from another county, but this kind of merchant ship looks very small at first glance and can't hold much cargo." Geng Yan murmured in his heart, but just in case, he reminded all the sailors to pay attention to prevent the other party from being a pirate.

Not long after, Geng Yan saw clearly that the other party had seven ships in total, six small ships, and one ship that was about the size of their cargo ship.

But without exception, they are tall pointed boats, small in size, but very narrow and long, with a very high ratio of length to width, and there are iron spikes on the bow.

And those ships did not use flat sails like the Central Plains, but triangular sails.

Those weird boats are very flexible, they can turn around on the sea, and they can also rush towards them in the face of headwinds.

"Damn! There are still ships that charge against the wind?"

Geng Yan was very shocked. The boats in the Central Plains can naturally sail against the wind, but they can only sail against the wind. It is impossible to charge so fast against the wind.

Seeing those strange ships getting closer and closer, Geng Yan shouted to everyone: "Beware of pirates, get ready to fight!"

wow wow wow-

boom!
Those weird little fast boats charged against the headwind, pushed aside the sea water around them, and bumped into Geng Yan's main ship.

The iron spikes of the strange boat slammed into the hull of the main ship Geng Yan was on, causing the ship under Geng Yan's feet to start leaking.

"No, our hull was damaged, jump to another ship!"

The sailors on the ship ran to the side of the ship in panic, trying to jump to other ships that were not attacked.

The main ship began to leak water and the entire ship listed to starboard. Many people on board failed to stand still and slid directly into the sea to drown.

Some sailors were clinging to the pole of the boat, but they were just dying, and the cargo ship would soon sink into the sea.

"Damn it, where are the pirates who dare to rob our grain ship?!"

Geng Yan cursed secretly, grabbed the rope thrown by the nearby ship, jumped off the ship, jumped into the sea with a "plop", and was dragged aboard by the sailors of another ship with the rope.

"what--"

"help me!"

The dozens of sailors who searched for the ship just now were struggling in the sea. Some of them managed to hold a piece of driftwood, but sank into the sea not long after, and more people drowned directly on the bottom of the sea.

However, it's not over yet.

Those weird boats left the battlefield quickly, and then charged again, continuing to use their iron spikes to crush the food transport ship of the Four Counties Alliance.

boom!
More and more grain transport ships sank into the sea due to the smashed hulls. Many sailors were drowned by the sea, and the sailors who survived were crowded on the few remaining grain transport ships.

"Avoid them!"

"Closer to land!"

Geng Yan ordered the sailors to let the remaining grain transport ships approach the land so as not to sink to the bottom of the sea.

Seeing that the grain ship was fleeing towards the land, those weird boats no longer charged repeatedly, but directly hooked Geng Yan's cargo ship with iron hooks, and then many "pirates" were pulling the iron hooks to separate the strange boats from Geng Yan's cargo ship. The distance is getting closer.

After a while, more and more strange ships hooked the cargo ship.

Some pirates first threw arrows at them, and several cargo ship sailors died under the arrows.

shhhhhh!
"what!"

"Uh--"

"Use a plank to cover it!"

After the rain of arrows ended, the weird ships and the cargo ship stuck together at close range, and then many "pirates" jumped onto the cargo ship to fight.

"kill!"

The pirates wore light armor, jumped directly onto Geng Yan's cargo ship, and wantonly slaughtered the sailors who were only wearing civilian clothes.

clang--

"what!--"

"Don't kill me, I surrender!"

With armor versus without armor, it is a completely one-sided massacre.

Geng Yan's sailors were quickly defeated.

"hateful!"

Geng Yan raised a ring-shoudao and slashed at a "pirate (a soldier from Liaodong County)", killing the pirate.

But then, a female pirate jumped onto the cargo ship and rushed towards him with her sword drawn.

"Women?" Geng Yan didn't quite understand, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly. After all, it is definitely not easy for a woman to be a pirate.

"Who are you? How dare you hijack the imperial court's grain ship!" Geng Yan slashed at the female pirate's shoulder and questioned her.

laugh--

Geng Yan's ring-head knife slashed at the female pirate's shoulder, but failed to cut in, being blocked by the female pirate's soft armor of spider silk.

The female pirate seemed to be injured internally by Geng Yan's powerful force, she let out a muffled grunt, and then slashed at Geng Yan's shoulder.

"what!!!"

Geng Yan was stunned by the female pirate's non-defense and only offensive style of play. His shoulder was chopped off. Since he was not wearing armor, the female pirate's ring-headed knife slashed into his flesh and blood, and even cut his shoulder. into his bones.

"Joke! The imperial court has long since disappeared. Now everyone is doing their own thing. What kind of imperial court are you?"

The female pirate taunted Geng Yan, then drew back the ring knife, kicked Geng Yan on the lower abdomen, kicked the painful Geng Yan to the ground, and said to the other pirates: "These sailors are precious talents. , as long as you are willing to surrender, don't kill!"

Geng Yan curled up on the ground in pain, letting the female pirate handle her, and watching the female pirate recruit her sailors to surrender.

He had also exterminated some bandits before, but they were all small troubles. This time the Liaodong Bay naval battle was the first time in his life, but he didn't expect to lose to a girl.
