Kingdom of Goryeo, Ganghwa Remaining Division, and the sea area near Wolchodunburg.

"Inform the helmsman to kill the rudder stock to the right, lower the half-sail, and use broadside artillery to attack the enemy's cabin fleet! In addition, order the flagman to send a flag to the other three ships to keep them with our ship. At a corresponding distance, wait until the enemy's cabin boats turn and come towards us, then turn again and attack the enemy ships with broadside artillery. Be careful not to give the cabin boats a chance to get up close and engage in hand-to-hand combat with us..." On the stern of the flagship "Adventure" sentry ship, the deputy admiral of the fleet, Lin Ah Shui, commanded Ruoding without any panic. Not only did he order the flag bearer to convey the order to follow the battle to other ships, he also ordered his subordinates to raise the flag with his surname. He boarded the mainmast to show that he was the commander of this naval battle, hoping to attract the attention of the Koreans and create an opportunity for the sloop and centipede ship still hiding in the dark to sneak attack the enemy's auxiliary fleet!

“??????,????????????????????????.??????????????????? ??????.????????????????????????????????????(Cui Shuai, that is the pirates' flagship, they They are coming towards us, shall we fight immediately?" On the largest wooden boat of the Goryeo Crusade Army, the armor-clad commander, the judge Cui Mingji, also put up an awning with his hands and looked into the distance, and he At this moment, a group of officers and soldiers were surrounding him, all of them looked solemn and nervous. In fact, we can't blame them for their poor psychological quality before the battle. In fact, the Kingdom of Goryeo has been at peace for many years, and the officers and soldiers have been inferior to each other from generation to generation. Those who are slightly capable of fighting They were all transferred to the Bibian Division to fight against the Eight Banners soldiers under the command of the Jurchen Great Khan Shuerhaqi. The only ones left here were stinky salted fish and rotten sweet potatoes. I have to thank the female soldiers for being able to gather 3,000 soldiers and horses so quickly. The Uyghur Government has mobilized troops from all over the country to defend the capital. Otherwise, given the procrastination and push-back style of the Goryeo government, it will not take three to five months. Even if Taizu Taizong appears, he still wants to do it so quickly. Just gather all the troops and go to war, you are just dreaming!

"????????????????????????????????????,???????????? ????????????????,????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????? (Four cabin boats go over to fight. Remember, just hold them back. The other warships will escort the auxiliary boats through along with the general's boat. ocean)!"

Cui Mingji, named Ziqian, was born in the Cui family of Quanzhou's wealthy family. He served as an official Cao Banshu during the Bingzi chaos. He was an important member of the Western People's Party. At the same time, he was also the representative of the Yangming School in Goryeo. He was always respectful and loyal. , won the trust of Goryeo King Li Zhu! This time, he was ordered to lead an army to attack the newly emerged Japanese pirates from Ganghwa Island. He did not become blindly arrogant and directly marched his army to fight against the Japanese pirates. Instead, he humbly listened to the advice of his generals and played a steady and step-by-step manner. He first established an advance base and sent out a large number of elite scouts. Expelled and eliminated the Japanese pirates who were active in Mount Mangsu. They rested for another night to allow their soldiers and horses to regain their strength. It was not until the early morning of the next day that the army was assembled to cross the sea by boat and look for an opportunity to fight the enemy's main force! When he heard the report from his generals, Cui Panshu immediately raised the red-haired monocular telescope in his hand that was a gift from the Songshang merchant in the capital and observed the aggressive Japanese pirate fleet!

“??????????????????,??????????????????????????? ,???????????????,?????????????????????(This is not a Japanese pirate, a Japanese pirate is not like this, look Why do their ships look a bit like Ming Dynasty warships?" However, just by looking at it, he saw something was wrong! Cui Mingji and Cui Banshu put down the telescope in their hands, with a suspicious look on their faces. He had seen Japanese pirate ships before, but they didn't look like this at all. They looked a bit like the ships of the Ming Dynasty! And among these Japanese pirates, if only one or two ships were open boats, it would not matter. Maybe these audacious bastards robbed Ming Dynasty merchants and robbed other people's ships, but all of them were open boats, which is a bit unreasonable. Co-authored, it can’t be that the Japanese pirates robbed the coastal guard station of the Ming Dynasty and captured it from the Ming Dynasty soldiers. This does not make sense both emotionally and rationally. It is really strange!

“?????????,???????????????.?????????????????????? ???????????? (Master Banshu, the enemy's ship is coming, what should we do next, please give us instructions quickly)..." Cui Mingji and Cui Banshu couldn't figure it out here, but But the war cannot be delayed for even a moment! Yin Gongshan, the fully armed adjutant beside him, saw that his commander suddenly fell into deep thought, and the Japanese ship rushed towards his own fleet menacingly. He couldn't help but panic. After thinking again and again, he still interrupted the former's deep thought! If you don't react, the lead bullets of the "Japanese pirates" will soon hit your head!

"???????????????????????????????????????,?????????? ?????????????????????,???????????????????????????? ???(Send half of the large ships to block the Japanese warships, and the other ships to protect and support the fleet and continue to move forward. After half an hour, everyone must board Ganghwa Island to fight the enemy)!" Suddenly the sound of Lieutenant General Yin Gongshan came to my ears. After hearing the report, Cui Mingji, the commander of the Goryeo army, finally put aside the doubts in his mind and focused his attention on the "Japanese pirate" warships coming from far and near. At the moment, instead of searching for the true identity of the enemy, it is better to think about how to deal with them. That’s right! With this thought in mind, under his command, four wooden house boats loaded with Koryo naval forces quickly began to turn with the efforts of the oarsmen and helmsmen, aiming directly at the "Japanese pirate" fleet that continued to go north!

"Show the flag and order the Haicang ship to follow our ship to meet the enemy. The bird ship is wandering aside to attack. Let's go to meet the Korean cabin ship!" As the oars and sails moved forward, the distance between the two sides continued to shrink! Lin Ashui, the ship's chief steward, held onto the wooden railing of the poop and loudly issued combat orders to his flag troops. The next moment, under the command of the captain and the sentry commander, the flag troops quickly made all preparations before the battle. They removed all the things on the deck that would affect the battle and laid thin sheets on it. Huangsha, and also prepared buckets in advance to extinguish the fire. As for the artillery that could help them defeat the enemy, they had already been loaded when they discovered the Korean ship. As soon as the distance got closer, they would light the match rope and give the opponent a hard blow!

"General manager, all flag troops and artillery are in place, ready for your orders at any time!"

"Very good, let's estimate the distance with our hands. When we get within the range of our artillery, we'll give him a hard hit!"

"Manager, the distance is about 500 steps (about 800 meters)!"

"Manager, the distance has been shortened to 400 steps (about 640 meters)!"

"Boss, it's 300 steps (about 480 meters)!"

"Master Lin, Master Lin, the distance between us and the Koreans is only 200 steps (about 320). Well, the enemy is still accelerating. Sir, the enemy is still accelerating..."

"Attention, everyone, fire two volleys at the leading coffin boat first to knock off their arrogance!" Facing the enemy's fleet of cabin boats that were getting closer and closer, Lin Ashui hit him with a wave of his hand. Yan Ling Dao gave the order to fire! The next moment, with the help of Yan Si's disciples and grandsons, a Ye Gong God gun and two large Folan guns on the bow of the "Adventure" were adjusted at high and low angles, facing the getting closer and closer. The cabin boat spewed out thick smoke and hot shells!

"????,??????????????????,????????????????????.(not good, The enemy ship has opened fire, quickly find a place to take shelter!" In the early morning in the Ganghwa Strait, the light mist is dissipating, and the air is exceptionally fresh. I should have been looking for friends, taking a small boat, talking about the world, and traveling around the mountains. It's a good season for playing in the water, but now, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by the sudden sound of gunfire! On the Goryeo wooden house ship, a few sharp-eyed navy veterans saw a flash of fire on the enemy ship, followed by thick white smoke, and knew something was wrong. A lazy donkey rolled around and hid next to the wooden box and barrel. ! Sure enough, in the next moment, three large or small cannonballs plunged into the seawater less than twenty meters away from the wooden house boat with a dull sound of breaking through the air. The high water column they shot out was so high that all the Korean sailors could see it. My scalp is numb and my face is pale!

"Adjust the height, aim at the enemy ship, and fire another round!" However, what is even more shocking is yet to come! After seeing that the first three shells all missed, General Manager Lin Ashuilin immediately ordered the gunners to adjust the artillery, load the gunpowder, and fire another salvo at the enemy ship! This time, due to the closer distance, one of the three shells fired by the picket ship's bow gun finally hit the port side of the house ship and flew to the starboard side of the house ship! And this lucky six-pound cannonball not only smashed a big hole in the side of the wooden house boat, but also knocked down a large area of ​​the densely packed Korean navy on the boat! So in an instant, there was a cry of mourning on the ship with wooden houses in front. Many soldiers with broken arms or broken thighs held their wounds and began to roll around on the deck. For a while, gurgling water flowed out. The blood even dyed the entire deck blood red, making people tremble with fear and make them want to vomit!

"The helmsman will hit the rudder stock to the right, and a few more people will stick out the big oars from the bottom to help the ship turn. Let's use the broadside cannon to deal with them!" Taking advantage of his illness, he killed him. When he saw the second round of shooting, there were shells hitting him. The enemy ship, the "Adventure" immediately burst into cheers! Next, under the command of the ship's chief steward, navigator, and boatswain, the flagship of the Chiyang expedition fleet even turned around and aimed its side full of gun ports at the Korean plank house ship, and the latter, after seeing Chiyang, After seeing the power of the Yang Cannon, they immediately gave up the idea of ​​competing with the enemy in firepower. They just urged the oarsmen to pull the heavy oars and speed up towards the "Adventure". These Sun Tzu wanted to use their own skills Defeat your opponent in hand-to-hand combat, and then complete the battlefield counterattack!
