Goryeo, Ganghwa Strait, the war is in full swing.
Taking advantage of the flagship "Adventure" sentry ship to be entangled with two enemy wooden house ships, the eight-foot centipede ship under the command of General Qin Lin fiercely pounced on the panicked Korean auxiliary fleet. He wanted to take advantage of the enemy's wooden house boats. The best fighter planes whose ships are temporarily unable to come to the rescue, try to damage and sink those Korean auxiliary ships full of land combat soldiers as much as possible! Although he only has one ship, and the equipment on the ship is only some Ye Gong Shen guns that fire six-pound cannons and four-pound cannon shells, and large Folang machines, he is confident that he can crush the Goryeo servicemen who lack firepower in terms of strength. Ships and auxiliary ships. The only obstacle standing in his way now is that there are not enough sailors in the cabin of the ship, so it is impossible to truly take advantage of the eight-foot centipede ship "Hundred Foot"'s greatest advantage, speed!
However, for those slow-moving Koryo auxiliary ships, this was enough! No matter how short of oarsmen the eight-foot centipede boat "Hundred Foot" was, its speed was increased to six or seven knots by the efforts of twenty or thirty former Japanese pirates. Now, with the efforts of the free oarsmen, this speed was enough for the latter to easily penetrate those who lacked oarsmen. Went among the Korean auxiliary ships with heavy firepower! Next, the galleys with low freeboards and four or five bow guns began to look at the Korean auxiliary fleet where the small boats were gathered. If these bastards encountered smaller flat-bottomed boats, they would directly ram them with all their strength. Go up there and sink other people's houses; and if you encounter a larger ship with archers and musketeers stationed on it, you will use the four or five cannons on the bow to attack. Ordinary auxiliary ships are no better than carefully built wooden house ships. As long as the key parts are hit by a heavy and powerful cannonball, they may capsize! Therefore, with the continuous waving of the long oar, the eight-foot centipede boat continued to rush forward at a speed that was unbelievable to others. Seeing this situation, all the boats encountered on the way gave way. Some of the slower ones had no time to escape. In an instant, It would be hit by a few heavy cannonballs, and then the cabin would fill with water and slowly sink to the bottom of the sea! In view of this, Goryeo's auxiliary fleet soon began to collapse under this attack. The total number of medium-sized flat-bottomed boats and small flat-bottomed boats was as high as thirty or forty, so that they would not be overtaken, damaged, or sunk by the enemy's strange ships. Escape! For a moment, ships collided with ships, people bumped into people, and everything in the strait turned into a complete mess! The initiator, Chiyang's eight-foot-long centipede boat, slowly continued to pursue those poor Goryeo flat-bottomed boats. They didn't care what the unlucky Goryeo people were thinking. As long as a boat appeared in their sight, they would wait for it with a barrage of cannonballs until it hit them. Beat the latter until he cries for father and mother, without even the slightest bit of temper!
“???????????????,???????????????????????????,?????? ?????????????????????,????????????????????????? ?????????. (The enemy is too powerful, hurry up and withdraw your troops, the big ship can get rid of the entanglement with the enemy, and cover the small boat to retreat towards the camp)!" On the ship, the navy general of the Goryeo Crusade Army tidied up his appearance again. After Cui Mingji and Cui Dabanshu witnessed the ridiculous scene of his auxiliary ships being chased by a strange enemy ship, he immediately and decisively ordered that his deputy, General Yin Gongshan Yin, sounded the button for retreating. Then, several wooden house ships that were entangled with the Chiyang Fuchuan and the Bird Boat began to retreat backwards. They continued to shoot arrows and loose particles, trying to get rid of the contact with the former, but the Chiyang Expedition had already gained the upper hand. The fleet was not willing to let them leave safely. Not only did the artillery fire continue, but a large number of musketeers were also dispatched to shoot at the Korean navy soldiers who were stranded on the deck. What's more, Kang Lin was left in another deserted port. The crab boat also appeared on the chaotic battlefield after receiving the former's flag signal! This four to five foot long boat did not pursue the fleeing auxiliary ships. Instead, it relied on its low hull to go behind the enemy ship and attack the enemy's stern rudder with artillery and oil tanks. For a time, because the enemy's attention was focused on the big ship, it also managed to capture one or two cabin boats. Later, the Koreans learned a lesson. When they saw a sneaky dwarf appearing near their own ship, they concentrated their archers to fire rockets at it to interfere with it, and then drove the incomparable enemy away from them!
However, even so, the situation on the battlefield is still slipping in an uncontrollable direction! Although most of Chiyang's seven large and small battleships were hit by some arrows and cannonballs, it did not affect the battle at all. However, the situation of Goryeo's warships was just the opposite. Except for two unlucky ones whose stern rudders were broken and they were completely lying down. , the other six wooden house boats were all hit by various numbers of cannons, from lead and iron cannons weighing one or two kilograms to stone bullets weighing twenty kilograms, as long as Chiyang had any kind of bullets, they had tasted them all , thanks to the fact that the wood used in the wooden houses and ships are all hard ship materials, plus Conlin wants to capture these ships for his own use! Otherwise, even if the Korean wooden house boats are made of pig iron, they will be turned into powder under the attack of Chiyang's artillery! In view of this, as the Goryeo commander Cui Mingji issued the army order, most of the Goryeo generals immediately ordered their ships to start retreating, and this undoubtedly gave the Chiyang expedition fleet the best opportunity to attack! After all, anyone can beat up a drowned dog, especially when the initiative on the battlefield is controlled by one's own side. The flag soldiers used all their skills to beat the opponent hard, leaving more than half of the wooden houses and boats in the narrow It’s finally over in the Ganghwa Strait!
“???????????????,??????????????????????,???????????? ???????. (Light the ship, even if we burn all the ships, we can't give the Japanese pirates any advantage)!" Seeing that Chiyang's warships were bombarding continuously, and his own ships were about to be annihilated, Goryeo general Liu Dongyin finally He made up his mind to turn his ship sideways and block the enemy's path. In order to delay the enemy's pursuit, this guy also led his sergeants to light a blazing fire on the deck. This trick was indeed effective. Chi Yang The expedition fleet saw that the enemy's wooden house ship suddenly ignited a fire, and there were also Korean navy soldiers who kept holding barrels and jumping planks into the sea. They were afraid that their own ship would be ignited by the fire ship if it approached, so they slowed down their pursuit. speed! Only then did Cui Mingji and Yin Gongshan return to Mangsu Mountain Dazhai with three wooden house boats and half of the auxiliary boats. As for the other boats and personnel, they were not so lucky, except for the boat that burned into a big torch at sea. Outside Liu Dongyin's ship, two wooden house boats had begun to sink slowly due to heavy injuries; there were two more wooden house boats because their stern rudders were damaged, so they could only lie on the sea, waiting for Chiyang's follow-up treatment! In addition, at least a dozen auxiliary ships, which accounted for most of the Goryeo fleet, were damaged and sunk by the eight-foot-long centipede ship with full firepower. Most of the soldiers from the imperial camp loaded on them, volunteers from all over the country, were currently in the sea with the sailors. The medium load was sinking and floating, and according to a rough estimate by the Chiyang Banner Army on the Kuai Crab ship, nearly 700 Korean sergeants and more than a hundred Korean sailors were abandoned by Cui Mingji, Yin Gongshan and others. They boarded the Chiyang After the rescue ship, his identity changed from a rebellious sergeant to a prisoner. He will then be packed and transported by the Chiyang Expedition Fleet to Dongyue Island to serve as a coolie to build the latter's forward base!
"General Manager Lin, General Manager Gu and all other general managers, our Chiyang Expedition Fleet has won a complete victory in this battle! Not only did we defeat the Koreans, we also destroyed most of their physical strength. But as a famous saying goes, It is better to use your remaining courage to pursue the poor bandits, and not to use your reputation as an overlord! Everyone, do you still have the energy to follow me to the land opposite to kill all those bereaved dogs?" Witnessing the expedition fleet, with the efforts of all the flag troops, obtained A hearty victory! Kang Lin decided to strike while the iron was hot and personally led his army onto the opposite land to completely drive away those defeated generals! So, under the protection of his personal entourage, this man slowly boarded the flagship "Adventure" and began to command the ship to sail to the other side of the strait. Seeing that the leader personally took action, the other ships also dropped their boats that were still lingering in the sea. The enemy soldiers and warships ignored them, raised their hard sails, rowed their big oars, and quickly chased in the direction of their own flagship! Today, under the leadership of their leader, they will completely defeat and conquer Cui Mingji's land and water expeditionary army!
"Lord Leader, we are willing to die for Chi Yang's sake..."
"Take a sand ship to transport one infantry sentry and one cavalry soldier to spearhead the army. Other sand ships will take the remaining infantry, cavalry and artillery troops. Let's cross the strait and kick the Koreans' butts!" Now that Kang Lin had made a plan, he had Yan Si, Lin Ah Shui, Gu Wen Lai, Fan Hu and other officers responsible for the specific command. In order not to affect the warship's flexibility and firepower, the latter mobilized sand ships for transportation The infantry crossed the strait. Soon, accompanied by the rumbling drums, there were three sentries, one hundred and eleven flag army officers, thirty-six leader's personal guards, thirty-two mixed cavalry, thirty Ming Dynasty Iron Man Army, twenty Four independent artillerymen, 74 reserve troops, plus 111 new Japanese auxiliary troops. Not counting the incompetent Goryeo army, the land combat force that Chiyang can use will definitely not exceed 360 people. , even if the rich sailors and artillery of each ship were barely added, the number could only reach more than 400 people. However, facing the enemy's remaining 2,000 soldiers and horses, they not only were not afraid, but actually dared to take the initiative to draw their swords! Except for the seven large and small ships that fought with the wooden house ship, the rest of the soldiers took sand ships in turn and arrived near Mangsu Camp on the other side of the strait! After Wu Xue landed, they did not immediately launch an attack on the Korean army in the camp. Instead, they calmly organized their troops and rested temporarily under the eyes of the enemy, waiting for their commander's order to attack!
"Sergeant Saliwen, please take twenty light cavalry who are good at riding and shooting and disperse around to guard the surroundings. If there is any disturbance, immediately send flags and rockets to notify the brigade. Commander Yanggushan, please take ten light cavalry who are not good at riding. The light cavalry that shoots will patrol around the formation. If necessary, you can use heavy armor to charge into the formation for the army!"
