In just the first confrontation, the Dongnae Navy had the advantage on the battlefield. Under the leadership of two six-slot ships, any Baekje ship that dared to confront them was defeated.
In just an instant, three of the ten large ships in the Baekje Navy were damaged. One of them was hit in two by the round ram of the Dongnae Navy's six-tank ship and capsized on the spot. The other two were also hit. The horns and rackets shattered the hull, and it was only a matter of time before the ship was flooded and sank.
On another large Baekje ship nearby, the leader of the Baekje navy, Jie Chou, was shocked to see how ferocious the enemy was. The ship of the Jin navy was obviously stronger than the Baekje navy. After being attacked by the Baekje navy, After the impact, it was only damaged at the location where it was hit, and did not fall apart like the Baekje Navy ships that were hit hard.
Jie Qiu knew that these Jin ships must have used fine old wood and better craftsmanship. To compete with the strength of the ships, the Baekje navy's hulls, which had too short a time to sink and dry, were no match at all. Not only were the two large ships difficult to deal with, but even the other slightly smaller ships were not at a disadvantage in the naval battle due to the flexible control of the enemy sailors.
It seemed that it was necessary to limit the advantage of the enemy's ships and experience. Jiechou immediately ordered the flag to be raised to prevent the surrounding Baekje naval forces from fighting with the enemy. He immediately began to stick to the enemy's ships and start fighting in gangs, using his own numbers. Advantage.
Soon, Yi Zhong, who was experienced in naval battles, saw through the Baekje people's intentions. He ordered the Dongnae navy to raise the sails to full, and used the wind to sail diagonally southward from the center of the Baekje navy, only attacking where the sails were. A Baekje ship carrying the flag of the commander-in-chief.
The formation of the Dongnae Navy was like a diamond, with the largest ships at the front and on both wings, guarding many smaller ships behind them.
This huge arrow, opened by the strong tank ship, smashed into pieces all the Baekje ships that tried to intercept along the way, and a large number of Baekje navy fell into the already cool sea water.
At the same time, several Baekje ships traveling in the same direction relied on their lightness to catch up to the Dongnae navy ship. A large number of Baekje navy ships gathered near the ship's gang. Hook the pedal, prepare to approach the Donglai ship, set up the pedal and start fighting in gangs.
Just as the Baekje ship and the Dongnae ship were getting closer and closer, many huge long hooks suddenly appeared on the deck of the Dongnae navy ship. The length of these long hooks was far longer than the pedals used by the Baekje sailors to jump. , the iron hook was nailed deeply into the wooden planks of the Baekje ships, thus tightly controlling the distance between the two ships, and making it impossible for the Baekje navy, which was already preparing to join forces to fight, to advance or retreat.
Baekje ships are also equipped with racket poles and other weapons, but they are much shorter than those of Dongnae Navy, and now they cannot reach the opposite ships at all.
At the same time, the three upright racket poles on the Dongnai navy ship also started moving, and the Dongrai sailors actually tied the racket poles to longer hammer heads.
As the three racket poles were changed from short to long by the Dongnae sailors, the sailors on the Baekje ship screamed in panic. They knew clearly that when the three racket poles with huge hammers tied to the top fell, their ship would be destroyed. What fate will there be.
The Baekje sailors on the ship fled in panic, trying to escape from the three death places where the rackets were about to fall. They crowded and pushed, and many Baekje sailors were trampled and fell.
As the ropes fixing the racket poles on Dongnae's ship were untied, three racket poles as thick as beams suddenly fell down, and the heavy hammer heads hit the Baekje ship hard.
Some Baekje sailors who were unable to escape were smashed together with the planks. Three shocking large gaps instantly appeared on the hull. A huge amount of seawater poured in, causing the Baekje ships to tilt around due to the impact. The Baekje sailors on the ship were even more panicked. scream.
Subsequently, the extra-long iron hook gun on the Dongnae ship was released, and the Baekje ship began to slowly tilt and capsize.
In this situation, between the two rounds, the Baekje Navy destroyed two more large ships. The other Baekje ships that followed were much lower. If they wanted to join the gang, they had to attack the strong Dongnae ships. The Baekje Navy The army did not dare to approach any further, so they could only launch arrows and rockets from a distance. However, they were easily resisted by the Dongnae navy, which had been well prepared, and did not cause much damage. Instead, they were fired by a huge crossbow machine from the Dongnae ship. The rockets set fire to the sails of several Baekje ships.
Standing on the deck, the commander of the Baekje navy, Jie Chou, also saw the enemy navy changing tricks and beating up all the Baekje ships that tried to approach. For a while, the Baekje navy attacked these Dongnae navy warships. Helpless.
What made Jie Chou even more alarmed was that the enemy's navy seemed to be heading towards his own ship.
Jiechou hurriedly ordered the surrounding naval vessels to come forward to intercept. However, the enemy ships coming in the northwest wind used their hard and huge rams to break a Baekje dhow in half. A large number of Baekje sailors were instantly miserable. Screaming falling into the water.
"Quick, raise the sail! Turn!"
Seeing how powerful the enemy's navy was, Jie Qiu hurriedly ordered the sails to be raised. If he didn't seize the time to turn around and escape, he might be afraid that his ship would follow in the footsteps of his friendly forces.
Jie Qiu shouted orders while entering the oarsmen's cabin, whipping with the whip in his hand to urge the oarsmen to paddle faster.
"You damn Korean barbarians, paddle for me quickly!"
At this time, there was another burst of creaking and shattering sounds of wooden boards outside. Through the window with the oars sticking out, Jieqiu saw two more Baekje navy ships being smashed into pieces by the enemy's angles and blows. serious.
Moreover, Jie Qiu saw that not only the enemy's large ships were terrifying in battle, but their smaller ships also continued to fire stone bullets and rockets with powerful crossbows, which also caused serious losses to the surrounding Baekje navy.
When there was no obstacle between the enemy's terrifying collision angle and his own, Jieqiu's ship completed the U-turn. With its light hull and the desperate rowing of the oarsmen, Jieqiu's ship was finally prevented from being knocked into the air. Broken planks at sea.
However, the six-slot ship of the Donglai navy did not lag too far behind and was still chasing closely behind.
"All oarsmen, return to your oars. The leader of the Baekje bandits must be on the boat in front."
Yi Zhong shouted excitedly and ordered. Because of the approaching battle of the Baekje navy just now, many rowers boarded the deck to participate in the battle.
These Baekje naval forces were so weak, which made Yi Zhong, who was worried yesterday because he was afraid of Liu Yu's blame, feel in a good mood. However, chopping melons and vegetables could not fully demonstrate his strength. Yi Zhong decided to capture the enemy's thief leader alive. to show his face in front of Liu Yu.
"Shoot the thief's sail quickly." Yi Zhong continued to order loudly.
However, the crossbow arrows fired by the Donglai Army were too far away and did not hit the enemy ships in front of them that were fleeing with all their strength. They all fell into the sea.
Just when Yi Zhong was commanding the ship to still pursue them, and seeing the distance between the two sides getting closer and closer due to the better shape of the ship, a shout came from the front mast.
"Uncle, there is a tidal flat not far ahead. We can't pursue it any longer."
This is when my nephew Yiman, who was watching from above, discovered that the seaside was not far ahead. If the pursuit continued, under the influence of wind and high tide, the ship was likely to wash up on the muddy beach and run aground.
Sure enough, as the words fell, Yi Zhong saw the Baekje ship in front of him suddenly stop in the sea, and then a large number of sailors jumped off the ship and swam to the shore from half a person's height in the sea.
"Hey, that's all, that's all."
Yi Zhong did not dare to risk approaching anymore because his ship had a deeper draft than Baekje and was afraid that it would also run aground.
He waved his hand with some pity, ordered to give up the pursuit, and turned around and returned.
At this time, Yi Zhong, who turned the bow of the ship, suddenly discovered that no one of the remaining Baekje naval forces in the distance dared to come to fight, and even began to retreat towards the mouth of the Daishui River.
Yi Zhong was extremely anxious when he saw this.
The losses of these Baekje naval forces were less than 30% and they even thought about escaping. They were worse than ordinary water pirates. We must not let such a good enemy escape.
"Damn it, give me the order, put all the oars in motion!"
Yi Zhong pushed the helmsman away and adjusted the course himself.
he yelled viciously.
"Chase me!"
