Turbulent Times Chapter 1036: Water battle (Part 1)

Jin Guofan was worried that Li Zhong would be ashamed again when he proposed to leave, so he preemptively said: "Who doesn't know that Qin Angong is the commander of Baisheng in the Sui Dynasty, and has never been defeated. How can those Goguryeo sailors be Qin Angong's opponents? So Master Li and I stayed to watch the battle."

Although Li Zhongyi was dissatisfied with Jin Guofan's decision to stay, but since the latter had already spoken, he was the prince of the country after all, so he couldn't say anything more, and he couldn't say anything.

At this moment, the sea eagle's cry sounded high in the sky, and then a big red lantern lit up on the warship where Wang Junlin was, and then a sea eagle descended from the sky.

Soon, Zhang Tiangang personally took the information sent by the sea eagle. After Wang Junlin read it, his expression became serious: "The Goguryeo Navy, led by general Li Chengkun, has 10,000 people heading towards Dami Island at full speed. It seems that I want to attack at night. Send an order to Liu Yidong of Bailing Island to lead two thousand sailors to come to Dami Island quickly."

Zhang Tiangang agreed, and soon a sea eagle soared into the sky and flew towards Bailing Island.

After more than an hour, Liu Yidong led two thousand sailors to arrive, joined with the two thousand sailors of Dami Island, and prepared for the battle according to the previously agreed tactics.

It didn't take long before I heard the long whimpering horn of the warship on the left blowing a long whining horn to indicate that there were a large number of ships approaching from the north, and the beacons of the sentry ships in the distance were all ignited almost at the same time.

Enemy attack! A large number of enemy soldiers attack!

Wang Junlin hurriedly boarded the quarter deck and looked to the north. There are heavy sails and masts covering the sky and the sun. He is afraid that there will be no fewer than three or four hundred warships. In the dark of night, they attacked Dami Island secretly, and even rushed to land on the island.

It's a pity that all their actions were under the watchful eyes of Wang Junlin's spies, and the white-bellied sea eagle rushed to report, but Wang Junlin's side had been waiting for a long time, how could their sneak attack succeed.

"Raise the flag and order Liu Yidong to lead his 50 warships to attack the enemy directly, and Luo Chunlai to lead half of his warships to follow my command ship along the east coast of the island and cut off their way back; The division will go to the northeast of the island to prepare for the enemy soldiers to rush to the island!" Wang Junlin was in high spirits, and he was a little surprised that the battle went smoothly.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and the field of vision was relatively limited. Goguryeo's 10,000 sailors had no idea that the side that was going to attack was already prepared.

Until Li Chengkun, the general of the Goguryeo Navy, heard the police from the watch post on the mast, and climbed up the mast himself, looking south, he turned pale with astonishment.

In the waters on the north side of Dami Island, the naval warships they were going to attack were spread out in a row, and they had already set up their formations, waiting for them to ram them head-on.

Yuan Taizuo personally led Li Chengkun and others to plan for a long time, and the navy gathered in Annan County did not actually gather together. If he did not know the situation of the Goguryeo navy very well, he would not have noticed it in advance. Now The sneak attack at night was also done with great secrecy in advance. They traveled all the way without any contact with Wang Junlin's sentry boats, and under the cover of night, Li Chengkun couldn't figure out how Wang Junlin knew their whereabouts, and he planned ahead of time. The arrangement was made in the North Beach of Dami Island, and it seemed that the navy of Bailing Island was also here. Did they already know that their side was coming?

For a while, Li Chengkun's hands and feet felt cold, and he was a little dazed.

Li Chengkun was also a famous general in Goguryeo. He was known as the number one general of the navy. He wiped out no less than 10,000 pirates. Even if it is easy to catch, it should be easy to defeat the opponent.

However, he didn't think that his actions seemed to be all in the opponent's expectation, which was a big blow to him.

Li Chengkun has rich experience in naval battles, and his tactical skills are also top-notch among the Goguryeo naval forces. Even though he was taken aback, he knew that no matter what the opponent's arrangements were, he could only continue to rush forward according to the original plan.

The distance between the two ship formations is only four or five miles, and the formation of such a large ship occupies a radius of several miles, and the wind direction makes the two sides meet. The established plan continues to advance to the beach and land on the island. With their superior force, they should still be able to defeat the opponent.

"The enemy navy Chen Yu's ship array in the Beitan sea area is a bit thin and easy to penetrate." Li Chengkun was overjoyed.

The fleet of Fanyang County is slowly starting its eastward journey. As a marching fleet, the northward direction is regarded as the flank, so how can it be thick?

Li Chengkun didn't know that this was a bait in Wang Junlin's plan, a loophole deliberately exposed.

Li Chengkun gave an order and commanded the fleet to attack Wang Jun's flank of the Ark Division's fleet at full speed yesterday.

Under normal circumstances, Li Chengkun's entire division attacking the flank of Fanyang County's boat division is undoubtedly the most correct strategy, but unfortunately this was originally a trap.

Beacon fires ignited on the North Cliff of Dami Island. In the clear morning light, black smoke rose straight into the sky, and eight or nine piles of burning beacon fires reflected the dark sky on top of the red mountain.

The two envoys of Jin Guofan, Li Zhongyi, and Baekje finally did not dare to follow Wang Junlin's battleship to rush over.

At this moment, the four of them faintly saw the huge fleet sailing southward in the east, and almost in the blink of an eye, the outposts of the fleet came into contact with Wang Junlin's fleet flanked by the North Beach.

The encounter came so suddenly and violently.

From the perspective of Li Zhongyi, Jin Guofan, and the two envoys of Baekje, although Wang Junlin's ark division has the advantage of warships, when the two armies encountered each other, the formation of the ships was too wide and the flanks were thin , and soon the Goguryeo fleet heading south at full speed rampaged over, with almost no tentative moves, a sea battle with a scale of more than 10,000 people broke out completely in the North Beach waters of Dami Island.

After falling into the melee, the fleet of Wang Junlin and his party was quickly cut into east and west. It seems that the situation is even more unfavorable, and the fleet intercepted on the east side is at a disadvantage. It will be extremely difficult to turn around and counterattack .

The four of Jin Guofan and Li Zhongyi frowned, Li Zhongyi said: "I just said that I gave Wang Junlin three good ships, but now I don't think it is necessary to give them to Wang Junlin, maybe Wang Junlin will soon He led people away in a desperate manner."

"It seems that the name does not match the reality!" Although Jin Guofan was not good at water warfare, he felt that Wang Junlin's side was broken in two after being hit so hard, and it was not far from collapse. In short, Wang Junlin's side The disadvantage of warships is obvious.

Wang Junlin stood on the tail deck with a calm and calm face, and said to Du Haiwa next to him: "These twenty-five warships are now under your command!"

"The humble job will continue to drive the ducks to the island as planned?" Du Haiwa asked.

"I don't mind Li Chengkun fighting a war of attrition with me in the Beitan waters." Wang Junlin said with a smile: "There is no grain left for them on the island, since they are willing to go to the island, in order to reduce our losses, Then send them to the island!"
