Turbulent Times Chapter 1038: Water War (Part 2)

Seeing nearly a hundred Goguryeo warships damaged by hitting the reefs due to beach grabbing, Wang Junlin secretly cried out that it is a pity that these should have been their trophies, at least they can be eliminated by Huang Shaoqiu to the Fanyang County Navy and exchanged for a big one. money.

To drag these damaged warships across the sea to Snake Island, the repair cost is too high, unless Wang Junlin can build another repair dock on Dami Island.

At this time, two envoys from Jin Guofan, Li Zhongyi and Baekje came to meet Wang Junlin in two ships.

Under the fierce attack of Wang Junlin and his party's warships, all the remnants of the Goguryeo side at sea have been destroyed. Except for the remnants who rushed to the beach and fled to the depths of Dami Island, there is no way to fight back at sea. The large number of Goguryeo corpses in the shallow sea shocked them greatly.

"Congratulations to Lord Qin An for another great victory!" Prince Jin Guofan of Silla came on board, and he rushed to congratulate him, "The last time I was an envoy to the Sui Dynasty, I heard that Lord Qin An was good at fighting. See, it really lives up to its reputation.”

"Predict the enemy first, and the Goguryeo people underestimated the enemy. This battle was easy." Wang Junlin smiled and said, "And this battle was mainly fought by the officers and soldiers below. In fact, it has nothing to do with me. Big."

"Qin Angong is being modest. This is mainly due to Qin Angong's command and training of such a strong army!" Li Zhongyi leaned over with a flattering face and laughed, "In the future, the navy sent by Qin Angong will Goguryeo people don’t dare to behave wildly anymore!”

"Oh!" Wang Junlin glanced at Li Zhongyi noncommittally, the change in his attitude was really disgusting.

"There are still 5,000 Goguryeo remnants who fled to the island. How does Qin Angong plan to deal with them?" Jin Guofan interjected.

"Surrender, don't kill, don't surrender, kill." Wang Junlin said lightly. In fact, he has another purpose, which is to surround the spot to fight for aid. Thousands of remnants, only when he defeats all the Goguryeo naval forces that he will aid in the future, can he lead the navy to directly destroy the opponent's harbor military stronghold, making the Goguryeo people unable to attack Dami Island and Baengling Island again within a year or two.

However, before the Goguryeo reinforcements arrive, these five thousand people will have to kill some more, but the premise is to wait for these people to starve for a few days and become weak before sending people to the depths of the island. Easily kill or capture most of these people, and the rest is bait.

The two envoys of the Baekje Kingdom were delighted at this time.

After today's battle, the Goguryeo people will naturally put a lot of energy and attention on these two islands, so that the pressure on Baekje, which is the closest to here, will be greatly reduced. Wang Junlin's naval forces were so vulnerable in front of them that they more or less regained some confidence in defeating the Goguryeo people.

At this time, Li Zhongyi regretted that he was too stingy before the war, but he couldn't go back on what he said. Seeing that Wang Junlin didn't intend to keep them, he could only go back to Silla with Jin Guofan depressed country.

The two envoys of the Baekje Kingdom also left, and they wanted to tell the good news to the country.

Just now the naval battle was won easily, Wang Junlin's side had almost no casualties, and the following casualty statistics soon came up, and they lost more than a hundred people in this battle, and they wiped out no less than 5,000 prisoners and soldiers in this battle. The remaining 5,000 remnants are already meat on the chopping board.

But a piece of news from Bailing Island made Wang Junlin's face change.

Bailing Island fell, not because Yuan Taizuo sent another navy to attack, but because two thousand people appeared from nowhere on the island, and sent Liu Yidong's one hundred subordinates who stayed on the island to him. Killed, the centurion responsible for staying behind sent the news with a sea eagle before he died.

Wang Junlin pondered for a while, then immediately called Luo Chunlai and said, "Luo Chunlai, your people stay here and continue to grind and kill the remaining enemies on the island according to the original plan. Remember to let them starve for two days first, Go to the island to kill the enemy, now that Baengling Island has fallen, there is no way to continue to surround and fight for aid, and after two days, except for the Koreans who surrendered, they can stay, and when the construction of the island requires a lot of coolies, all others will be killed."

Luo Chunlai took orders and left.

Without waiting for Wang Junlin to say anything, Liu Yidong ran over and knelt in front of Wang Junlin, with a face of shame, he said: "My lord, this subordinate neglected his duty and let two thousand thieves hide on Bailing Island without knowing it."

Wang Junlin shook his head and said, "Let a hundred of our officers and soldiers die in battle for nothing. There is a crime of dereliction of duty. But now is not the time to pursue your dereliction of duty. Now think about what these people have hidden before. Where did it escape the search of two thousand of you."

Liu Yidong gritted his teeth and said, "Beizhi thought about it just now. There should be a very large underground cave on this island, otherwise it would be impossible to hide so many people."

Wang Junlin nodded and said: "That's right, order me down, let the people below eat something, and hurry up to rest. You take off four hundred sets of clothes from the corpses of Goguryeo, my hundred guards, and then you Then select 300 elite soldiers to replace them, and then select 20 intact Goguryeo warships, let these 400 people take the boat, and the few officers and soldiers who can speak Goguryeo language trained before are ready to be interrogated by the enemy soldiers on Bailing Island."

Liu Yidong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Excellency is wise, I will make arrangements for my humble position."

After Liu Yidong's side was ready, the 400 people took more than 20 Goguryeo warships to go first, and the remaining 1,700 people took 50 warships, led by Wang Junlin to follow and pursue.

In this way, two fleets, one fleeing and the other chasing, sailed towards Bailing Island.

Baeknyeongdo Island is smaller than Dayi Island, but they are all bedrock islands. Together with Dayi Island and several islands to the northeast, they are the two larger islands in the east-west island chain in the south of Koguryo.

At this time, nearly two thousand Koguryo troops were entrenched on Baekryung Island. Wang Junlin and his party appeared in sight, chasing and fleeing.

The boat disguised as fleeing Goguryeo people specially chose a boat with a shallow draft, and rushed directly to the beach on the northeast corner of Baengling Island. A hundred masters and three hundred elite soldiers wearing blue-gray Goguryeo naval uniforms carried With all kinds of weapons, they trekked and landed in the shallow water with the help of rope ladders. After a little formation on the beach, they spread out in a cone-shaped formation and attacked the enemy's formation. Now, go back to the prison city..."

The leader of the Goguryeo army on Bailing Island looked at the situation and felt a little suspicious. He wanted to prevent the four hundred people from approaching, and shouted loudly: "Who is coming, the leader comes out and speaks..."
