The golden sunlight poured on the sea, shaking people almost unable to open their eyes.
A fleet of more than 50 ships of various sizes, such as ships, fighting ships, and building ships, bypassed Chengshan and went straight to Haizhou on the Goryeo Peninsula across the Yellow Sea, intending to cut off the Tang army's supply route by sea.
Soon, the movement of the Han army fleet was detected by the Tang army scout ships, and they went east at the fastest speed to Bailing Island, which was fifty miles away, and reported to Li Sunchen, the governor of the Tang army's naval division, who was lying in ambush there.
Baekryeong Island is an island between the Jiaoju Peninsula and the Goryeo Peninsula, and is named because it looks like a white feather feather when viewed from the sea.
With an area of about 50 miles, the island has dense vegetation, abundant fresh water resources, and a suitable coastline of suitable depth, which can accommodate thousands of warships to moor, and has important military value.
Li Shimin and Li Sunsin calculated that Zheng Chenggong's sailors would cut off the grain route from the sea, and this Bailing Island was a necessary place, so they hid more than 200 warships on the island early, with a total of 30,000 sailors ready to attack, and when the Han ships passed, they would ambush from the island.
"The whole army boarded the ship, listened to my orders, and when the Han ships approached Bailing Island, they would encircle and suppress them with a formation of wild geese, and be sure to completely annihilate this Han army's naval division."
With Yi Sunsin's order, the horns on the sea whimpered, and 50 tortoiseshell ships were the mainstay, supplemented by 150 large and small ships such as warships and fighting ships, all of which were full of sails, bows and arrows, and were ready for battle.
An hour later, the Han Army's naval division, composed of more than 50 warships, slowly appeared in the sight of the Tang Army, and when they got closer and closer, a terrible horn suddenly sounded, and all the ships turned their bows one after another, and turned back to the west along the way they came.
Li Sunsin stood on the deck of the handsome ship, letting his beard flutter in the sea breeze, waved the handsome flag in his hand, and ordered loudly: "It seems that the Han army has discovered our traces, beat the drum for me to chase, even if we chase to the Jiaozhou Peninsula, we must swallow this fat to the mouth."
With Yi Sunsin's order, the drums on the sea rumbled and shook the sky.
Under the guidance of 50 tortoiseshell ships, a total of more than 200 warships, large and small, sailed out of the islands and reefs, full of sails, and chased after the Han ships that were like frightened birds.
"Soldiers of the Han army, you guts rats, there is a kind of stop and fight to the death" More than 30,000 Tang troops drove ships in pursuit, while shouting loudly, trying to provoke the Han army.
Seeing the Tang army ships pouring out, Liu Renliang secretly rejoiced on the Han army's handsome ship, and said to the generals: "Li Sunsin really fell for the trick, let's let him taste the taste of the ambush, and the soldiers of the whole army will scold me back."
Under Liu Renliang's order, the Han army ships rushed westward with full sails, the helmsman rowed the oars desperately, and the soldiers on the boat put their palms on their mouths and scolded: "You shameless Tang army, what kind of heroes are if you don't rely on your many ships, you won't dare to chase after you."
"If you have the ability, don't run, we only use the turtle boat to fight against you, and the one who escapes is a coward" Tang Jun was not to be outdone, and scolded loudly.
The Han army laughed in unison: "The turtle boat is not the boat on which the turtle is ridden, and the other feudal gangs are untrustworthy, how can our army fall for you, and have the ability to catch up with us."
In this way, the sailors of the Han army fled at sea, the warships of the Tang army pursued closely, the two sides insulted each other under the scorching sun, the noise came and went, and the disturbed seagulls fled.
"General, this Han army is fleeing and insulting, it seems that they have come to lure the enemy" After an hour and a half of exhaustive pursuit, Yi Sunsin's lieutenant gave advice with a vigilant face.
Yi Sunsin stroked his beard and laughed: "Haha, I will be at sea for many years, how can I not see that this is the Han army's strategy to lure the enemy, but the tortoiseshell ship I personally supervised is a unique warship in the world, in terms of solidity, if we call it second, who dares to call it first, since the Han army wants to ambush us, then we will have a naval battle with them happily."
The two sides continued to chase on the sea, and after more than two hours, the sun sank in the west, and the sea where the sunset shone was red.
Liu Renliang suddenly ordered to turn the bow of the ship, directly hit the edge of the Tang army, and had a sea duel.
In an instant, the sound of killing on the sea shook the sky, and fifty Han ships collected their sails, turned their rudders and lined up, fired arrows at the Tang army that was catching up, and used ship-borne trebuchets to throw rocks at the Tang army.
For a time, the waves on the sea splashed, and the arrows were like flying locusts.
"The turtle ships rushed forward, and the other ships flanked them, surrounding the Han ships in the center," Yi Sunsin ordered with a wave of his flag and ordered in a loud voice.
In the sound of rumbling drums, fifty Tang army tortoiseshell boats marched forward in a formation of geese, relying on their solid tortoise shells, braving the arrows and hail of the Han army, and bravely charging forward.
However, after a stick of incense, the ships of the two armies slowly approached each other, ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
"Slamming into the Han ships" Yi Sunsin waved the flag and ordered loudly.
With Yi Sunsin's order, when the warships of the two sides were about to approach, the turtle ships of the Tang army suddenly increased their speed and slammed into the fighting ships of the Han army with a ferocious attitude.
"Boom, boom, boom" For a while, a huge crashing sound like thunder resounded on the surface of the sea, and with the collision of warships, sawdust flew in the waves.
Under the onslaught of the Han army's tortoiseshell boats, at least four or five of the Han army's battling ships were hit by cracks, and even broken caves, and the sea water poured in rapidly, and the ships were fluttering and shaking, and they were about to sink.
Under the setting sun, a huge warship broke through the waves, like a behemoth on the sea, leading more than 200 Han warships Tang Jun Sailors, causing the Tang army to exclaim: "Wow, what a big warship" "Sink all the Tang ships that are blocked in front of me" Zheng Chenggong stood on the deck of the treasure ship, personally beat the war drums, and led the Han army's warships to pounce on the Tang army led by Yi Sunsin.
"Bang, bang, boom" With the entry of Zheng He's treasure ship into the battle, the tide of battle was reversed.
The huge and majestic treasure ship is like an elephant, and the Tang army's ship is as small as an elk, which overturned one after another under the huge impact force of the treasure ship, and the Tang army on the ship fell into the sea like dumplings in a pot, shouting for help one after another.
The rise of Zheng He's treasure ship killing is almost like a god blocking and killing gods and Buddhas, and the ability to destroy small ships is by no means comparable to tortoiseshell ships.
Each collision could overturn the Tang army's ships on the sea, while the tortoiseshell ships needed to hit three or five times in a row before they could rely on their own solidity to damage the small ships of the Han army.
In the duel between the two, the treasure ship completely had the upper hand, and it collided continuously all the way, sinking at least five tortoiseshell ships, which made the Tang army lament.
"The Han army actually has this big ship like a giant, and the whole army will retreat quickly" Yi Sunsin slammed his fist on the board of the ship and ordered the troops to retreat in a loud voice.
With Li Sunsin's order, the horn of retreat sounded in the Tang army's formation, and after being knocked and sunk more than 50 warships of various types, the Tang army fled in confusion.
The sea is vast and the night is deep, Zheng Chenggong and Liu Renliang did not dare to chase after them, so as not to chase the ambush, Mingjin collected his troops and retreated in the direction of Chengshantou.
After counting the warships, a total of more than 30 ships were lost, and they had a slight advantage in this battle in the Yellow Sea.
Just when Zheng Chenggong and Li Sunsin faced off at sea, Li Shimin, who had obtained the information, coerced Yu Wei of Lu Wenlong and led the army to attack the Jiaoxian Navy Battalion, but was blocked by Lian Po and Xin Qiji on the way, and the two sides fell into a melee.
At the critical juncture, Qin Qiong led Yang Yanzhao, Wu Song and others to raise 40,000 troops to kill, joined up with Lian Po's county soldiers, and blocked the Tang army's attack with the dangerous terrain.
The situation was deadlocked, and a few days later, Li Shimin received a flying pigeon from the Jinling scout, and after reading it, he almost fell down: "The news that Liu Wei was hit by the arrow turned out to be false, and he used the trick of defrauding the enemy to attract Meng Tian and Wang Ben to attack the enemy and fall into a desperate situation, and in one fell swoop wiped out more than 400,000 Guishan troops, and returned to Jinling last night.
This guy is so treacherous, I'm afraid I can't get around the opponent in my life."

The truth came out, Liu Wei came back to life, the Han army quickly gathered reinforcements to Qingzhou, and Wei Yan led the army along the sea to recapture Huangxian.
Yi Sunsin's tortoiseshell ships had no advantage in the face of the Han army at sea, and the grain route was in danger of being cut off at any time. t1706231537:
