Chapter 257 The Destruction of the Combined Fleet

The banquet in the hall continued, but Li Guan asked to change his clothes and left the seat. When he left, he signaled Wang Chong and Lin Wu and several generals, and asked them to go up and toast Song Xi and others. Song Xi was actually a little overwhelmed. Li Guan specially transported Wuliangye wine from Shamen Town to celebrate the celebration. The 52-degree high-alcohol liquor was not something that these people who were used to fermenting and low-alcohol liquor at this time. Before, Li Guanlian toasted Song Xi three cups, each of which was a big cup of three taels, and drank almost a pound of white wine in one go.

Then Lin Wu and others went up to take turns to toasting, and the good wine was on the rise. Although Song Xi and other generals were all men who had fought on the battlefield, they could not hold on. When Li Yan left, they were already drunk and waved their hands randomly, as if they knew.

Li Yan was also a little bit drunk, but Li Yan was smarter. He didn't plan to really compete with these generals at the beginning. Although the wine he drank was also transparent and clear, it was actually a new batch of new varieties of wine produced in the winery, not made of grain, but made of fruit wine made of wild fruits and fruits. Li Yan just drank one of the fruit wines, and the peach wine brewed in spring was only twelve degrees.

Spring brewed plum wine, strawberry wine, green plum wine, peach wine, loquat wine, bayberry wine, mulberry wine. Summer brewed cherry wine, lychee wine, plum wine, peach wine, wine, nectarine wine, mango wine, watermelon wine, longan wine, passion fruit wine, dragon fruit wine, durian wine, avocado wine. Autumn brewed pomegranate wine, duck pear wine, pear wine, grapefruit wine, persimmon wine,

Winter stuffed tomato wine, orange wine, orange wine, kumquat wine, golden date wine. Four-season stuffed star fruit wine, pineapple wine, papaya wine, banana wine, lemon wine, coconut wine, cantaloupe wine, and cantaloupe melon wine.

There were already fruit wines in the Tang Dynasty, but fruit wines in the Tang Dynasty were also fermented wines. The newly built fruit wine workshop in Shamen Town is divided into fermented fruit wines and distilled fruit wines. There are even prepared fruit wines made by soaking fruits or peels, flowers, etc. in alcohol or white wine to get dew, or using juice and sugar.

These fruit wines range from twelve to twenty-four degrees, and are used to attract people who are not used to distilling high-alcohol liquor. In particular, they mainly focus on the women and children market. The fruit wine is developed to compete for more customers, and the second is that the winery business is booming now. The food consumed every day is indeed too much, and Li Guan is a little reluctant to let it go. The food is getting more and more expensive, so he had to turn his attention to making fruit wine.

After leaving the hall, the director vomited a sip of alcohol, and a spring breeze blew over his face. Li Yan suddenly felt much more comfortable.

"Yanei, Nutao Camp is back!" Li Wei received the news just now and immediately signaled to Li Guan in the hall.

Li Yan wiped his forehead and did not show any strange expression. "What's going on with them?" He just asked in a plain tone.

Li Wei admired Li Yan's calmness of honor and disgrace. Before the battle began, Li Yan had ordered the transfer of Zhenhai Camp and Nutao Camp to the sea to prevent them from participating in the initial battle. From the beginning, he seemed to have long been confident in this battle and was confident. Zhenhai Camp's mission was to recapture it from Shaobing Island. He immediately seized the warships of Da Xie Fort. He then participated in the attack to capture Da Xie Fort.

The Nutao Camp, a sailor camp composed of all the pirates in Zhendonghai, re-mobilized the pirates that had been cut off from the beginning. Except for a portion of the pirates to Zhenhai Camp, the rest were all on board again, and even the Whitebeard brought the retired old thieves back into battle.

Nutao Camp had 100 ships of all sizes, plus nearly 5,000 people from Minzhuang sailed to sea in advance. Instead of fighting, they were arranged by Li Guan to join the aid fleet in Guidao and Duli Town, where they followed Li Guan's orders to ambush the defeated Duli Town fleet.

On the other side of Qingnipu, Li Guan immediately sent people to Li Lingfu after obtaining accurate information. Li Lingfu, an ally, was very reliable. When he was at the critical moment, he immediately led the Qingnipu fleet and brought the second son Juyi and the third son Juli to rescue him. When they heard Li Guan at the sea, he told them not to go to Shamen Town. Instead, they asked them to stay near Guidao Island to meet with Nutao Camp and wait for ambushing the fleeing Duli Town Joint Fleet, the third brother Li Juli couldn't help laughing: "Why is this Li Guan so arrogant? He just fought a few small victories, but he was so arrogant and stubborn. Duli Town and Da Xie Fort attacked nearly 30,000 troops, and Li Guan was only a few thousand troops. They were all new troops. We rushed to rescue him in a hurry. He was not anxious at all, but let us wait for some defeat here."

Li Juyi was a little more sensible, but he was also full of worry. "Is Li Chan too arrogant?"

Li Lingfu was stunned when he first heard this request, but then he laughed and said, "I'm so confident about Li Guan. I think he must have made plans for this battle. We don't have to worry about him in a hurry. Just wait for the defeated army in Duli Town as he asked." However, he said boldly on the surface and believed Li Guan very much, but he was actually full of worry in his heart.

However, the subsequent result made all his worries disappear, and he also made him admire Li Yan and had a more different feeling.

Before dawn, nearly 10,000 people in Duli Town and Nutao Camp were hiding behind a small island and reef in the Turtle Islands. Just as everyone was a little impatient, the scouts on the sea received a return, and the combined fleet of Duli Town escaped. When they arrived, there were only about 60,000 people and more than 100 warships. When they returned, only about 60,000 people were left. It was estimated that the number of people who came back was 10,000 more.

"How did he do it?" Li Juyi was shocked, "Where is the one who defeated the Great Xie Fort?"

"Reply to the words of the Major General, Da Xie Fort was defeated. Hearing that Feng Zhang had died in battle, Feng Xun led the remaining troops to surrender, and Da Xie's army was wiped out. Li Guan had personally led his troops to Da Xie Fort, and the defenders were surrendered without any blood. Now he has taken Da Xie Fort City." The scout returned.

Li Lingfu and his son looked at each other and felt a huge shock. After a long time, Li Lingfu shouted: "Okay, good fight. General Li Guan has retreated and fled back to Duli Town as he said. Whether they can keep them all depends on us. Pass my order and attack immediately, and ask the brothers from Nutao Camp to attack together."

Pei You led the Duli Town soldiers who were barely left with only about 10,000 left to evacuate from Shikou Wharf. He never expected that Shamen Town would be so difficult to crack. At the beginning, he successfully captured Yangtuozi Island, and even took more than half of Shikou Wharf. He saw that he could capture the wharf with another force, and then he took Shamen Town straight. No one expected that at this time, Shamen Town troops were gushing out from the ground, just like the hateful gopher, everywhere and everywhere.

They were caught off guard, and then the crossbows and even the ghost fires became fierce, and they were several times more dense than they began. He suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap. When his subordinates urgently reported that Yang Tuozi had been recaptured by the Shamen Town Army, Pei You immediately understood the disadvantage of the situation. He made a quick decision to order a retreat. However, the Sammen Army's counterattack was even more fierce than he expected. He was equipped with a large number of Modao soldiers. With the help of the chariot shooters and ghost fires, they were defeated step by step. Especially when the arrow towers and bastions on the dock were rushed out of the underground passage by the Sammen Army, they were completely in a disadvantageous situation.

In the end, he was the hero who cut off his arm, abandoned his soldiers to protect his car, and made a promise to reward and provide relief to the families of the soldiers behind the temple, barely leaving 3,000 people to protect the temple and fled from Shamen Island. However, 16,000 people were left, and only 10,000 people left.

"Quick, speed up!" Pei You shouted while standing on the huge warship. Although he had escaped from Shaman Island, he always felt uneasy in his heart. He knew that Shaman Town had a powerful fleet, but from beginning to end. Until now, he had not seen this fleet, which made him very uneasy. Now he just wanted to quickly return to Duli Town and stay away from here.

However, his premonition was correct. Li Guan never thought about letting them go back at the beginning. Although the main goal of this battle was Da Xie Fort, since the joint fleet of Duli Town came, he would not let them go back easily.

As soon as the Duli Town fleet arrived at Guidao, Li Lingfu's Qingnipu fleet and Nutao Camp's fleet all came out to intercept the retreat of the joint fleet. They rushed left and right, quickly crashed into the warship group of the joint fleet, and took the initiative to engage in melee melee, boarding the ships on the sidelines.

Qingnipu and Zhendonghai were 10,000 people compared to Dulizhen, but one side was waiting for it and had high morale. However, the other side was defeated and fled here, feeling panic. The morale was low. The two fought each other, but they fought without saying a word. Li Lingfu and Zhendonghai, one left and one right, killed fiercely, and Pei You could not resist.

When the battle was almost dawn, nearly 30% of the warships in Duli Town had sunk, and 30% were taken away after being defeated on the sidelines. Only less than 40% of the warships were fleeing desperately, and were bitten by the enemy ships behind them, chasing and fighting.

Seeing that he had just escaped to the vicinity of Wuhu Island, the joint fleet was surrounded again and was about to be destroyed. The fleet led by the city lord of Duli Town, Wang Pu, finally arrived. Wang Pu led more than 100 merchant ships, moving a large number of civilians and brave men. He was going to go to Shamen Town to receive the robbery back. No one expected that when he arrived halfway, he actually saw that his joint fleet had only less than twenty warships left, and he was surrounded.

Without caring about what happened, Wang Pu immediately ordered the fleet to rush over to respond.

Li Lingfu and others fought in the middle of the night, and suffered heavy casualties. At this time, he saw Duli Town coming to pick him up and saw more than 100 ships, and he couldn't figure out how many things were. Li Lingfu was unwilling to take the risk, so he let go of the remaining dozen warships of the combined fleet, issued an order to escape from the battle, and slowly retreated.

Although Pei You, who had escaped from the battle and fled for a lifetime, was afraid to turn back at all. After joining Wang Pu, he hurriedly withdrew to Duli Town with less than 2,000 remaining ships. Li Lingfu, Baihuzi and others achieved a great victory, almost wiped out the Duli Town joint fleet in one battle, killed more than 3,000 enemies, captured at least 4,500 or more, sunk more than 30 enemy ships, captured almost forty or fifty warships, and returned with satisfaction.

The victorious Li Lingfu did not go back to Qingnipu directly, but accepted the invitation from Baibei and the others and led the fleet back to Shamen Town.

"Happy, donkey ball's joint fleet, relying on the money, always thought that our giant ships and cannons suppressed us, Qingnipu, could not raise our heads on the sea, and even bullied our Qingni Port again and again, and often blocked our port. Donkey ball's fleet finally capsized in the gutter today. A fleet of 20,000 people, in just over a month, only ten ships were left, two thousand people, less than one ten. It's so satisfying, so exciting." Li Lingfu stood on the deck, his big hands constantly slapped the female wall on the ship, laughing to the sky.

Qingnipu and Duli Town have never gained the upper hand for a hundred years. In the past ten years of his leadership, he has used attack instead of defense. Although the Crane Control Army has repeatedly defeated Duli Town, after all, they still cannot create a fleet that can match the joint fleet. They have been suppressed and beaten. They are always blocked by the joint fleet of Duli Town to retaliate against them, and they suffer huge losses.

Now, this arrogant fleet is finally over.

"Li Guan is not simple! His father, he had planned in advance and was confident that he could defeat the joint fleet and Feng Zhang. As he expected, Feng Zhang was killed in battle, and Da Xie Fort was occupied by him. The joint fleet in Duli Town was defeated and fled, and he arranged for us to intercept and annihilate halfway. This Li Guan was determined to win before the battle and planned to be in a plan. It was simply a terrible strategic arrangement. It seemed that he had never achieved any defeat since he led his troops. He had been so powerful in less than half a year as the general of Shamen Town. It was even more amazing in time." Li Juyi said with a sigh.

Even Li Juli, who had always been rebellious, could not even refute this. Although they almost wiped out the joint fleet in this battle, what made them even more sigh was that Li Guan had already expected all of this in advance.

Li Lingfu also sighed in his heart that his three sons were already considered good. He could fight the enemy at the age of ten and lead troops to fight at the age of twenty. But Li Yan was also in his early twenties, but he had already achieved such achievements. In comparison, the three sons were far behind.

"You should be like Li Jiyu with a son!" Li Lingfu sighed loudly, turned to his two sons and said, "Fortunately, Li Yan is our ally. Although Li Yan is powerful, I think he still values ​​friendship. You brothers must remember that if it is not a last resort, don't be enemies with Li Yan. It is best to be friends with him."

"But Li Guan is so powerful. With his ability, I am afraid that the small Shamen Town and even the Great Xie Fort will not be able to tolerate him. After he is full of wings, I am afraid that he will not be satisfied with the status quo and will have other ideas." The second son thought a lot and thought a lot farther away.

"If Li Guan is not a thing in the pool and turns into a dragon when he encounters wind and clouds, then on that day, we can choose to stand with him." Li Lingfu said slowly after pondering for a long time, his tone was full of complexity.
