Chapter 745 Landing in Penglai
In late October, the mighty Tianhua Navy finally arrived at the Penglai Islands east of Dongyang.

The fleet ignored the surrounding small islands and went straight to the main island.At this time, there were hundreds of large and small ships in the sea area of ​​Penglai, trying to resist the Tianhua army and prevent them from landing.

Liang Shicheng, who had fought against the Dongyang navy, knew the attack methods of the Dongyang navy well.Immediately, more than 500 warships were divided into three parts, one on the left and one on the right to encircle, to prevent the enemy ships from spreading guerrillas.Then the [-] warships of the Chinese army slowly approached for a mile, and the artillery on the ship immediately roared, and thousands of shells fell into the Dongyang fleet, destroying nearly a hundred ships in just one wave of attack.

The powerful firepower of the Tianhua army immediately caused panic in the Dongyang fleet, and they turned around one after another, intending to bypass from both sides and disperse the density of ships.

However, the fleets of Tianhua's two wings had already blocked the waterways on both sides. As soon as they approached, they were immediately smashed into pieces by artillery fire.

The Dongyang Army did not give up, and immediately launched a charge, trying to use the small speed of the ship to quickly approach the enemy ship and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

But how could the Tianhua army be as he said, the weapons carried on the warships this time were more sufficient than before; the soldiers and horses they carried were densely packed.When the Dongyang boat approached, it was immediately shot by countless bows and crossbows on the boat.Many small boats, after approaching the warship, the crew on it died cleanly, becoming a floating ghost ship.

Some enemy ships tried to use fireboats to harass the warships, but on the battleships, soldiers propped up countless long poles to push the fireboats out of the cabin. Although the fire was burning, it could not reach the hull.On the contrary, on the Tianhua battleship, flame guns spit out tongues of fire violently, quickly igniting the enemy ship, and the Dongyang army on it had no way to escape and had to jump into the icy sea water.

The battle lasted less than two hours, and the Dongyang navy was wiped out.The Tianhua Navy immediately took control of the harbor, and countless army soldiers disembarked and landed one after another, gathering on the shore.

On the shore at this time, countless Dongyang troops are approaching the port, trying to recapture the port and prevent the Tianhua army from landing on the island.

At this moment, the warships that had surrounded the harbor immediately opened fire on the shore, and countless shells fell into the Dongyang army, plowing out bloody lines.The originally aggressive Dongyang Army suddenly fell into chaos.When the second wave of shelling hit, the tens of thousands of Dongyang troops completely collapsed and fled all over the mountains and plains.

Soon, the [-]-day Chinese army gathered on the shore took the lead in attacking, chasing death and north, and constantly chasing and killing the collapsed Dongyang people.

As more and more troops landed, the vanguard had already rushed to a city not far from the port.This city is called Qigang City, with a population of only tens of thousands, and it is the territory of the Nachuan family, the lords in the west of Penglai.

But under the fierce attack of the Tianhua Army, the small city fell within an hour.

When all the one hundred thousand troops landed, Lin Yifan ordered the whole army to sweep across the entire territory of the Nachuan family, occupying the three cities, and then divide the troops to garrison and rest for a day.

Lin Yifan lived in the mansion of the Nachuan family. As for the Nachuan family, after the defeat, they were captured by the Tianhua army and locked up in the barracks.

At this time, Lin Yifan was holding the information obtained from these captives, and finally had a deeper understanding of Penglai Island.

Penglai Island is not too big, about the size of two counties in the Central Plains, with a population of more than 100 million, which is occupied by more than a dozen lords, large and small.Here, the Nachuan family only controlled three cities, with a population of 20 and tens of thousands of troops, and they were already regarded as middle-level lords on the island.

At this time, Lin Yifan had to consider that the Tianhua Army had only [-] troops in the Eastern Expedition, and it would not be so easy to take this Penglai Island.But his main goal here is to attack the Dongyang Imperial Capital, take down the Dongyang Emperor, and completely disintegrate the morale of the Dongyang people. With no leader among the dragons, the power of the various princes in Dongyang will become more dispersed, and it will be easier for the Tianhua Army to fight against each other. smash.

Therefore, on this Penglai Island, the Tianhua Army cannot stay here for too long.Otherwise, once Emperor Dongyang had assembled all the soldiers and horses from all walks of life, what Tianhua would have to face would be hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.With these [-] soldiers and horses alone, it is difficult to eat them all at once.

Therefore, Lin Yifan summoned Nachuan Xingde, the head of the Nachuan family, to have an audience.

Nachuan Xingde is an old man in his 60s. He is different from the old man who is not angry but powerful. Now he is a prisoner, his whole body is sluggish and slumped, showing his old state, where he still has the majesty of the head of the family.

But after he walked into his former mansion, he bowed forward tremblingly.At this time, he couldn't help but not be afraid, because all he was facing was the Emperor of the Central Plains, who could decide the life and death of him and his family with a single word.

"Sinner Nachuan Xingde, pay homage to His Majesty the Great Emperor." Nachuan Xingde racked his brains to recall the Central Plains etiquette recorded in the book, shouted in a trembling voice, prostrated himself on the ground, pouted his buttocks, and kept kowtowing.

Looking at the funny old man on the ground, Lin Yifan smiled faintly, and then said in a deep voice, "Patriarch Nachuan, I came here to avenge Dongyang for invading our Central Plains. Your family has sent thousands of troops, and in my Central Plains, you will commit all kinds of crimes." , I hate it deeply in my heart, you said, should you die?"

When Nachuan Xingde heard the words, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, kowtowed and cried: "The sinner knows his mistake, and the sinner has no choice but to do so. The Emperor Dongyang ordered, and we can only follow orders. If my family refuses to send troops, The surrounding lords will think that our family intends to preserve their strength and covet other people's territories. In order to check and balance the power of the whole island, each lord has negotiated the number of troops sent by each, so as not to dominate the family. My Nachuan family had no choice but to send troops, but after the soldiers entered the Central Plains, They are no longer under our control, and we know nothing about their atrocities in the Central Plains."

This person really knows how to act, but he has completely ignored the responsibility.Lin Yifan looked at him, smiled coldly, and said that he didn't think about the Central Plains at all, and he didn't believe it at all. "Hmph, I don't care about whether you can't help yourself. If you do it, you do it. If you dare to offend me in the Central Plains, I will not let anyone go."

Hearing this, Nachuan Xingde was shocked. This time, he was really scared.When you meet an unreasonable person, no matter how much he acts, it's useless.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the sinner is willing to work for His Majesty. I just ask His Majesty to let our Nachuan family go." Nachuan Xingde kowtowed heavily on the ground, his forehead was immediately blood-stained, and when he looked up, his face was already full of blood. blood.But he ignored it, kowtowed and pleaded: "If Your Majesty is really determined to take revenge, please kill the sinner and let the rest of our Nachuan family go."

Seeing this, Lin Yifan felt that the fire was almost ready, and immediately sighed, "Patriarch Nachuan did this for the sake of the family. I can't bear it, but if I let you off so easily, wouldn't what I said before become a joke? Nachuan Patriarch Chuan, you are not joking. If you cannot convince me and the soldiers of the three armies, how can I forgive you?"

Nachuan Xingde was sweating profusely, desperately thinking about countermeasures.Suddenly, he seemed to be aware of Lin Yifan's intentions, and immediately shouted loudly: "The sinner is willing to atone for his crime and help His Majesty take down the whole island of Penglai."
