Turbulent Times Chapter 1037: Water battle (middle)
After the encounter, a series of changes on the battlefield seemed dazzling. Wang Junlin's navy was cut into two sections, which seemed to be at a disadvantage, but in fact this was a planned adjustment.
Liu Yidong led fifty warships to adjust their direction to the north and extend their flanks to meet the enemy ships, while Luo Chunlai led twenty-five warships to head east at full speed.
The place where the entire naval flank was pierced is actually the joint where Liu Yidong and Luo Chunlai lead the navy respectively.
Wang Junlin adopted such a strategy, naturally in order to minimize the losses of his side.
At the same time, Wang Junlin's hundred master guards had already established a beachhead on the island. Due to the outer warships separating them, and the fact that Chunqiu Nu, Chong Yao, and Zhang Tiangang led hundreds of master guards and there were not many of them, Li Chengkun didn't even notice the existence of the beachhead.
In short, the situation looks chaotic, but in fact it is orderly and everything is going according to plan.
Liu Yidong's subordinate still used a relatively complete formation to let go of the front of the Koguryo Navy ship fighting for the beach in the upwind direction on the west side, and directly oppressed the rear of its side. , out of contact.
After Li Chengkun found out that Wang Junlin's warship was obviously bigger and more aggressive, he wanted to rush to the island and rely on their strength to win the battle, but he didn't see through Wang Junlin's plan at all. It seemed that he was attacking the flanks of Wang Junlin's fleet, but in fact his own flanks were exposed to the twenty-five warships led by Luo Chunlai and Wang Junlin respectively. It is even more merciless to take into account and support the flanks and rear.
Although Wang Junlin and Luo Chunlai each only have twenty-five warships, but one ship is five thousand stone, seven ships are three thousand stone, and the others are all one thousand stone warships. The degree of sturdiness is far better than that of Goguryeo's main warships, especially the various attack methods such as crossbows, spears, and catapults on the ship, which are far stronger than Goguryeo warships. The side and rear formations rampaged, killing the Goguryeo Navy in a short period of time.
After the formation of the Goguryeo navy was completely disorganized, the officers and soldiers of Wang Junlin's side used hooks and pallets to join the board, and rushed into the enemy's ship.
As for Liu Yidong, who first traveled eastward and disengaged from contact, he was to intercept the route of the disintegrated Goguryeo warships fleeing in other directions, and almost forced all the Goguryeo warships to rush to the island in order to survive.
Jin Guofan, Li Zhongyi and the two envoys of Baekje were dumbstruck. They thought Wang Junlin's navy was at a disadvantage. The division came aggressively, but it was so fragile that there was no stalemate, and almost no decent resistance was formed, so it was defeated by Wang Junlin's side.
In a sea battle involving more than 10,000 people, Goguryeo had twice as many troops as Wang Junlin's side and had 1,000 more troops, and the warships were three or four times larger. It didn't take half an hour, and the defeat of the Goguryeo Navy seems to be too fast.
Li Chengkun had already lost control of his warship, until the guards surrounded him and climbed off the boat, climbed to Dami Island, and saw the bright red sun rising from the sea level in the east. On the North Beach in the northwest of Dami Island, the sea water is like blood. I don't know whether it is red with the sun or with the blood. But in a beachhead in front of them right now, the fighting power displayed by the hundred or so people is even worse. It frightened him a lot.
There is a defensive position on the North Beach, there are only about a hundred people, but these people are a hundred master guards led by Chong Yao, Chunqiu Nu, Zhang Tiangang and others. Although the number is small, the worst of these people are all There are one to ten masters in the foundation stage, among which there are no less than 20 masters in the stagnation stage, and there are even masters in the breaking stage such as Chunqiu Nu and Zhang Tiangang, plus the terrifying methods of the insect monster, the same time on the beach. Blood flowed like a river.
No way, although the Goguryeo navy has a large number of people, 10,000 people died in the sea, at most 2,000 people, and 8,000 people rushed to land on Dami Island, but these people were scared out of their wits , and rushing up wave after wave, they did not form a battle formation to kill them, which created great opportunities for the hundred or so masters to kill them one by one.
It wasn't until these hundred people killed more than 2,000 people, and the guards in the foundation building stage were about to relent, that Li Chengkun gathered the remaining 5,000 people and launched an attack in a battle formation Or defense.
At this time, the more than 300 warships they left in the sea have become spoils of war for Wang Junlin's side.
Li Chengkun organized the people, leaving a thousand people to surround the position of a hundred people, and let the others retreat in batches to the middle of Dami Island.
At this time, he thought of a key problem - they didn't have much food on them. To be precise, except for the small amount of rations carried by the generals, the other supplies on board have now become the spoils of war for Wang Junlin's side.
There is no need to count on wound medicine. Except for the small amount of hemostatic medicine carried by the wounded military officer, whether the wounded ordinary soldiers can survive it depends on their own fate.
Wang Junlin stood on the deck of the large aft cabin, looking at the battlefield in Beitan.
The overall situation has been decided, and it is meaningless to exchange casualties for casualties, and it is the most stupid way to fight Goguryeo at this time.
So he ordered a hundred or so people from Zhang Tiangang to hold their positions, and no longer take the initiative to charge the Goguryeo people, let alone stop them from escaping into the depths of Dami Island.
Then ordered to use the long-range crossbows and catapults on the ship to launch a long-range attack on the officers and soldiers of the Koguryo Navy on the beach. A guard rushed out, like a wolf entering a herd of sheep, leaving most of the thousand people behind.
In the end, less than 5,000 people were brought by Li Chengkun to the depths of Dami Island.
Next, Wang Junlin calmly ordered 3,000 navy officers and soldiers to land on the island, and drove the Goguryeo navy officers and soldiers into the depths of Dami Island.
As long as Goguryeo cannot send a fleet capable of suppressing Wang Junlin and his party to the rescue in a short period of time, they will not be able to rescue these nearly 5,000 remnants in a smooth manner. Nojima can endure for a few days.
Anyway, there is not a grain of food on the island, and there are no boats anywhere except the North Beach and the port where they are located. The 5,000 or so Goguryeo people have nowhere to escape if they want to escape.
