The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 746
On the second day, the Nachuan family who surrendered to Tianhua were finally released from the prison.Under Lin Yifan's instruction, Nachuan Xingde summoned the remaining 2 troops to join the [-] Heavenly Chinese Army, and began to crusade against the nearby lords.

With the Nachuan family as the leading party, the Tianhua army was invincible all the way, capturing several cities one after another.But the rest of the lords were not as lucky as the Nachuan family. Neither Lin Yifan nor Nachuan Xingde hoped that these lords would still be alive.

At the same time, Lin Yifan led the army and set off again to Yingzhou Island in the north.

Yingzhou Island is only about three hundred miles away from Penglai, and it only takes two days to sail.At this time, the imperial capital already knew about the war on Penglai Island.When Dongyang Emperor learned that hundreds of warships on Penglai Island were wiped out in less than two hours, he could not help but take a deep breath.It seemed that he had greatly underestimated the strength of the Tianhua Army.

Now there are thousands of large and small warships gathered in the Izumo Port of Yingzhou, but Emperor Dongyang knew in his heart that most of these warships were actually civilian ships, and there were three to four hundred real warships.There is no other way, this western expedition has requisitioned more than half of the empire's warships, but the result is that the entire army was wiped out, which greatly weakened the empire's naval battle strength.

Emperor Dongyang no longer expected these warships to defeat Tianyun, he could only hope to prevent the opponent from landing. After all, he only had 10,000+ troops at this time.And this is already the maximum force that can be recruited on Yingzhou Island.It is impossible for the princes of all walks of life on Yingzhou Island to contribute all their own troops in order to protect themselves.

A day later, on the sea to the south, a black shadow suddenly appeared, slowly approaching Izumo Port.

The Dongyang water army sailed out of the harbor immediately, spreading out in a fan shape on the sea surface, the ships were far apart, covering the entire sea surface.The information from the south made the Dongyang army fearful of Tianhua's artillery, and never dared to attack with a dense formation.

Contrary to the Dongyang Navy, the Tianhua Navy gathered together, the warships were arranged on the periphery, and the transport ships all hid in the circle, forming an elliptical formation, and began to speed up towards Izumo Port.

The Dongyang Army took action immediately, and the warships that were originally scattered in all directions sailed towards the formation of the Tianhua Army, trying to launch harassment tactics against it, disintegrating the formation bit by bit.

But before the warship approached, it was about to meet the baptism of artillery.When they got close by luck, there was another dense wave of crossbow arrows raging, and various long-range sharp weapons kept beckoning them.

Dongyang ships were sunk one after another, and there was no way to stop the Tianhua Navy from approaching the port.Even if a ship approached the Tianhua Warship, it was blown up and sunk by the opponent's gunpowder before it could react to the overwhelming blow.

As time passed, thousands of Dongyang navy ships, like hungry wolves, frantically rushed to bite, but found that they couldn't even bite the opponent's skin.Except for a few ships that were damaged, none of the Tianhua warships were sunk.

Standing on the high platform, Emperor Dongyang watched his fleet being beaten helplessly by the opponent, his hands trembled involuntarily, and secretly regretted that he should not have agreed to the Cao family's alliance in the first place.If you don't provoke such a terrifying opponent, you won't be in trouble today.

Today's Dongyang Navy is no longer the former Dongyang Navy.As the entire army was wiped out during the Western Expedition, many excellent crew members had already died in the belly of the fish.Most of the remaining crew members are fishermen, and they have very little experience in naval warfare.So much so that in the big battle just now, they just swarmed up and became the opponent's target.

In fact, not only Dongyang Emperor couldn't believe it, but Lin Yifan and Liang Shicheng also found it incredible. Is this still the brave Dongyang navy back then?The opponent was just coming together to die, and the combat power was completely different from that of the Dongyang navy that day.

At this time, the Dongyang navy began to appear unstable. Seeing more and more ships sinking, the others began to panic, and no one wanted to rush forward to be bombarded.As a result, many civilian ships that were called up temporarily began to retreat slowly, fleeing the battlefield.

"Bastards, these bastards, I must punish them, arrest and kill them all." Dongyang Emperor looked at the fleeing ship, and immediately cursed.

As more and more ships retreated, the speed of the Tianhua Army began to increase, gradually approaching Izumo Port.

"The whole army is ready to defend Izumo Port." Dongyang Emperor had given up any hope for the navy, and immediately ordered tens of thousands of troops to move to the port to resist the enemy's landing.

Izumo Port is located in a large fjord. At its intersection, the two peninsulas are almost closed together, leaving only a channel with a width of more than 20 meters.

Therefore, on the two peninsulas, a large number of troops and long-range equipment were placed to guard the entrance.

When the Chinese Navy approached the entrance, countless giant crossbow catapults flew in front of them and landed in front of the fleet.

At this time, Tianhua's artillery began to show its power, bombarding both sides of the strait non-stop, countless shells raged on the island, destroying a large number of long-range weapons and causing great casualties.

However, the Dongyang Army is still tenaciously defending the two islands, showing no signs of collapse.If they risk passing through at this time, the Tianhua army may suffer great casualties.How could Lin Yifan be willing to do this?

Therefore, Lin Yifan asked Liang Shicheng to dispatch a group of scout ships to bypass Izumo Port to see if there were any other places where they could land.

Several hours passed, and the scouting ship came back to report that within a radius of fifty miles, there was no place to land.

Lin Yifan carefully checked the topographic map of the coast drawn by the scout ship, and was suddenly attracted by a cliff.Pointing to the cliff, he asked, "How far is it from here?"

"Your Majesty, this place is thirty miles east of our side." Liang Shicheng picked up the drawings, compared them, and immediately said in doubt, "However, this is a cliff as high as twenty feet high, which cannot provide us with Conditions for landing."

"Hehe, if you think so, the Dongyang people must think so too." Lin Yifan laughed, "Then no one here will notice. If our army can land here quietly, we can sneak in behind the enemy's back." Make a knife."

"Here, Your Majesty, this cliff is so steep, how can our army climb it?" Liang Shicheng said with a embarrassed face.

"Don't worry, in the army, there are many people who can climb rocks and walk over walls." Lin Yifan said with a smile, "Do you still remember the first time when the two Western countries attacked Tianjiguan?"

Liang Shicheng suddenly realized, and nodded quickly, "I remember, that time, thanks to the placement of explosives on a cliff, which cut off the retreat route of the two coalition forces, there was a big victory."

"That's right. Later, I became interested in this kind of ability and asked each division to train at least one special brigade capable of carrying out special missions." Lin Yifan grinned, "Unfortunately, my personal expedition this time , brought a thousand unicorn guards, who are fully capable of this mission."
