Kai Fu Han

Chapter 94 Uprising 6
Gao Yuan stood on the bow of a [-]-stone sand ship, looking in the direction of the Dengzhou Navy camp. On the sea behind him were twenty former Dengzhou Navy warships and eight Liujiabao cargo ships.

Last night, Liu Xinqi conveyed today's battle plan to Gao Yuan via a cargo ship, and arranged eleven soldiers from Li Cang's squad to support Gao Yuan.

Before dawn on March [-], Gao Yuan organized his manpower to start preparations and selected the twenty warships in the best condition. Immediately after dawn, he set sail and met Liu Jiabao's eight ships in the outer sea, heading towards the landing. The state navy camp was attacked.

Amidst the rapid drumming of the Laizhou flagship, Gao Yuan's fleet rushed into the port. In this short period of time, only six ships of the Laizhou fleet successfully left the dock and rushed towards Gao Yuan's ship.

……

At the Dengzhou Navy camp, when the drums just started ringing, Liu Xinqi led 100 Liujiabao men and [-] people from Zhulang and marched to the gate of the camp.

Leave [-] strong men from Liujiabao to clean up the remaining Laizhou Navy officers and soldiers in the camp, and guard against reinforcements from Penglai City.

Liu Xinqi led Zhu Lang's 100 men, Wei Dou's 150 men and two warrior squads, and rushed towards the six Laizhou Navy warships still docked on the shore.

They rushed to a large sand boat with a weight of [-] stones. The people on the boat were still busy raising the sail and weighing the anchor. When they saw hundreds of people rushing towards the shore, they quickly organized a fight and removed the wooden planks erected on the side of the ship and the shore. .

Liu Xinqi rushed a few steps, jumped suddenly, and jumped directly to the middle of the deck. A small group of soldiers followed him and jumped on the boat. Some of them joined the battle, and some of them re-erected the wooden planks connecting the ship's side and the dock.

The officers and soldiers of the former Dengzhou Navy behind them rushed directly to the ship's deck along the wooden planks. The Laizhou soldiers on the deck were rushed to pieces, and the sails that were raised were lowered again.

The two Laizhou warships with soldiers participating in the attack were completely captured in less than a quarter of an hour. The remaining Laizhou officers and soldiers on board completely gave up resistance, threw down their weapons and surrendered.

The soldiers then moved to other ships that were still fighting. Two-quarters of an hour later, all six ships docked at the dock were captured by Liu Xinqi.

Another quarter of an hour later,
Liu Xinqi organized people to vacate a two thousand stone sand ship. All the Laizhou officers and soldiers on the original ship were driven off the ship, and the ship was replaced by soldiers and Dengzhou sailor officers and soldiers brought by Liu Xinqi.

Since this place was not far from the battlefield, we did not raise the sails and directly paddled towards the battlefield.

……

The entrance to the navy camp.

Half an hour after the battle on the shore started, one hundred officers and soldiers from the north gate of Penglai City were led by a young general and rushed to the entrance of the naval camp. They planned to check the situation inside. When they walked fifty steps away from the door, they found that there were already people behind the camp gate. An infantry phalanx stood neatly, with more than 100 people.

suddenly,

"Whoosh" sound,
An arrow was shot from the battle formation and hit the feet of the young general who was walking at the front. The young general was so frightened that he quickly stopped his feet, causing the officers and soldiers behind him to stop.

A middle-aged voice came from the camp, full of spirit:

"Stop or you will be shot."

"Stop moving forward...

Shouted three times in a row.

This was Liu Lizhen's voice. Liu Xinqi assigned him to lead the clan's young men in battle.

The Laizhou youngster was not intimidated.

"We are officers and soldiers of the Laizhou Battalion. The thieves inside should immediately put down their weapons and surrender."

After the shouting, 20 people were arranged to hold shields in front of them and continue to move forward.

After marching thirty steps, Liu Lizhen shouted: "Shoot!" Two groups of arrows totaling [-] were quickly fired from the camp.

The officers and soldiers in the front row of Laizhou who were holding shields were shot directly through the shields by the first wave of arrows, hitting their bodies, and fell to the ground injured. Then, the following wave of arrows shot directly at the exposed unprotected officers and soldiers.

Before joining the enemy, more than [-]% of our own troops were quickly shot down. The remaining officers and soldiers turned around and fled towards Laizhou City with a "bang", leaving the young general standing alone and looking around. , looked at the wounded soldiers on the ground, turned around and ran away.

"Leave thirty crossbowmen here to watch, and the others will go with me to pack up the warship and prepare to go to sea."

After speaking, Liu Lizhen led more than 200 people and rushed towards the five ships left by Liu Xinqi.

After arriving at the dock, Liu Lizhen organized people to escort all the intact prisoners onto the boat, leaving the injured prisoners on the shore.Then the cables were trimmed, the sails were raised, and more than 200 people reluctantly drove the five ships to move.

Then Liu Lizhen beat the drum that represented the gathering, and the thirty crossbowmen who were left at the door also rushed over and got on the boat.

The five ships slowly circled the naval battle battlefield and headed towards Changdao, leaving the navy camp in a mess and wailing.

……

Naval battlefield.

The 28 ships of the Dengzhou Navy fought against the six ships of the Laizhou Navy. Due to the rush of the Laizhou Navy, the people on board were not satisfied with the number. In addition, due to the influence of Wei Dou's drugged breakfast, even half of the people who could participate in the battle normally were nothing.

There are more than 300 former Dengzhou Navy officers and soldiers here in Dengzhou, plus more than 400 cargo ship sailors, giving a huge manpower advantage.

Gao Yuan, the four hundred households, and a small group of soldiers led by Li Cang, the number of soldiers reached 16.

Under various disadvantages, the Laizhou Navy was miserable.

When Liu Xinqi arrived with his ship, he directly attacked the flagship, captured Qianhu Pei Li, the leader of Laizhou troops alive, hung him on the mast, raised the white flag, and the resistance of the six ships stopped one by one.

After simply cleaning up the battlefield and rescuing those who fell into the sea, Liu Xinqi led the fleet to withdraw towards Long Island.

It was not until an hour after the battle ended that Guo Qianhu of the Dengzhou Infantry Battalion led a thousand militiamen to the gate of the naval camp.

What greeted them was an empty camp gate and wounded soldiers all over the camp.

……

All the ships gathered at the port of Nanchangshan Island and used three small docks to unload all the wounded and prisoners on board in turn. Liu Xinqi also disembarked and came to the port to check. After Li Cang finished counting, he reported to Liu Xinqi:

"This time, 740 three officers and soldiers of the Laizhou Navy were captured, 97 of whom were injured. Twelve warships were captured, not including weapons and armor."

After hearing the report, Liu Xinqi once again explained tomorrow's combat arrangements to Gao Yuan.

Then he began to organize Liujiabao's people to take eight cargo ships back to Penglai Port. He also found a ship and boarded it, leaving Gao Yuan to clean up the mess and renovate the ships on Nanchangshan Island.

When we returned to Penglai Port, it was already dark. We docked overnight and the people disembarked to rest.

Liu Xinqi and Liu Lizhen came to Liu's warehouse, where Zhou Xinyuan was waiting.

"County Lieutenant Luo Cheng came here today. Seeing that you were not there, he wandered around the warehouse for a while before going back." Zhou Xinyuan said: "I feel like he knows everything.
