Turbulent Times Chapter 1042: Returning to Dami Island

The more than a hundred warships of the Koguryo people in the outer port faced the first wave of attack array led by Wang Junlin. Although the number of warships was superior, they were at a huge disadvantage in terms of size and attack power.

Before they got on board, the Goguryeo people were attacked by fifty long-range crossbows and fifty catapults.

When you get closer, short-range crossbows and clay pots filled with kerosene come together. When they got to the ship, the hundreds of warships of the Goguryeo people in the outer harbor were routed and fled in panic.

There are more Goguryeo warships in the inner harbor.

The inner harbor is surrounded by long headlands protruding from the coastal hills, and the inner and outer harbors are more than 200 steps wide. Originally, in order to turn around, the Goguryeo people collided several ships and blocked the port, making it even more difficult for the Goguryeo warships behind to get out.

Wang Junlin's eyes were bright, and he saw the situation clearly. He let go of the Goguryeo warships fleeing in panic from the outer port, blocked the inner port, and mobilized a thousand stone warships who were good at close-to-board combat to break in from the port. Completely wipe out all the Goguryeo water army trapped in the port.

There are about 3,000 Goguryeo people who have already landed on the island, but Wang Junlin led the fifty warships to come too fast, and they were entangled by Liu Yidong's men, and they were helpless in the fierce battle at sea. Seeing the defeat of their own naval forces, the Goguryeo people on the shore knew that they could not attack Dayi Island, so they gave up attacking, retreated, withdrew their troops to the depths of the island, and joined the remnant soldiers led by Li Chengkun on the island...

Half an hour later, the battle near the port of Dami Island was completely over. More than 1,500 Goguryeo people died and more than 400 surrendered.

At this time, in the depths of Dami Island, there were no less than 7,000 people after the two waves of Koguryo people converged. Man obviously didn't have much confidence in himself in the land battle. After fighting in close combat, he found that he was far from being an opponent of Wang Junlin's side, so he only cared about running away.

Wang Junlin and others boarded Dayi Island from Changjiao, Outer Harbor, and Luo Chunlai hurried over to meet him.

Luo Chunlai's right arm was wounded. It can be seen that the fight just now was extremely dangerous. If they hadn't arrived in time, they destroyed all the warships that came to rescue the navy with a devastating force, and wiped out nearly half of the Goguryeo navy that was still on the warships. The more than 2,000 Goguryeo sailors who were so frightened to land on the island were worried that they would be surrounded on both sides, so they fled immediately. Luo Chunlai's subordinates were under attack from inside and outside.

The ensuing battle became very simple again. Wang Junlin ordered all warships, regardless of his own side or the captured enemy, to be concentrated at or near the port. When building ships with trees on the island, firstly, the Goguryeo people did not carry tools, and secondly, they were only naval officers and soldiers, not shipbuilders, so they really did not have the ability.

So, the way to deal with the more than 7,000 Goguryeo people in the depths of Dami Island is the same as before, starve them for a few days, and then enter the island to hunt and kill them.

"Proceed with the order. At the port position, in front of all the warships, start to dig fortifications. After all, the Goguryeo people are not stupid, and they will launch a counterattack on the port soon." After listening to Luo Chunlai's report, Wang Junlin issued the order directly. Order.

Sure enough, when Wang Junlin's side had just built a defensive position, the outposts of the Goguryeo people appeared.

Obviously, the Goguryeo people also thought of Wang Junlin's idea. After the two remnant Goguryeo soldiers joined together, they launched a counterattack to the port, trying to **** the warship and escape, and even turned defeat into victory by relying on their superiority.

…

…

Dami Island looks magnificent under the afterglow of the setting sun, but Li Chengkun is not in the mood to appreciate the sunset beauty of Dami Island.

It has been two hours since he led more than 7,000 people to attack the small defensive position in front of the port. Apart from dropping more than 800 corpses, there has been no obvious progress.

As a last resort, Li Chengkun found a high place on the hillside to watch the battle, trying to find out the reality or flaws of the defensive formation.

The Sui people's long-distance attack was too strong, and the close combat was also very fierce. Li Chengkun couldn't attack by force, so he deliberately selected elites to attack several times, but he still failed to break through.

This side repelled an attack just now, Li Chengkun watched the battle for a moment, saw the attacking elite withdraw back dejectedly, and impatiently grabbed the saber in his hand.

It was getting dark, and there was still no hope of capturing the port position. Several generals who were in charge of organizing the attack came to ask for instructions, should they retreat to the depths of the island to rest and continue the attack tomorrow.

"There is still some time to attack again." Li Chengkun looked up at the sky, and ordered: "It is impossible not to attack! The food on our body is gone today, and how much will be left when we are hungry tomorrow?" Divide your strength? You go up in person, and then gather all the officers and soldiers together, their combat effectiveness is stronger..."

Before Li Chengkun finished speaking, at this time Wang Junlin's side suddenly removed the obstacles in front of the defensive position, and the soldiers who had been holding the position came out with swords and shields.

Standing on the hillside, Li Chengkun could see many Sui people waiting to leave behind the position.

This abnormality immediately attracted his attention, he picked up his saber and rushed forward, loudly reminding the generals: "The Sui people want to go out and fight! Send an order to get everyone ready for a fight to the death. Those resting hurried over, and all those with bows and crossbows were concentrated on the left flank, and the two wings should be equipped with more large shields to draw them out as much as possible..."

Because this is the last storm before dark, it is necessary to increase the intensity. The number of Goguryeo people attacking has a scale of 1,000 people, and the formation is relatively crowded. And the five or six thousand people who were resting later rushed here in a hurry.

In short, the Goguryeo people did not expect Wang Junlin's side to choose a position to counterattack at this time, and their side had to adjust their formation hastily, which would inevitably lead to even more confusion.

Looking at the chaotic situation of his officers and soldiers, Li Chengkun's face suddenly became ugly. He realized that it is not a good thing to let the opponent out of the position to fight back at this time. He looked worriedly at the port behind the position. A dozen warships suddenly thought of a suspicious point, their backs shivered with shock, their faces paled suddenly, and they shouted an order: "Quickly form an array and defend, don't fight in waves!"

Li Chengkun guessed that Wang Junlin's side was going out to counterattack at this time because they wanted to take the opportunity to catch the side by surprise, but they held back for a long time, and they were looking forward to the opportunity of such a large-scale hand-to-hand combat. The Sui people who fought back from the position entangled and dragged out. As long as there was a certain gap, he could send another team of elites to go through and **** the warships at the gate of the camp.

Unfortunately, there was a piercing sound from the dozens of warships, and then more than 20 boulders the size of human heads whizzed across the Sui people's position and smashed into the battle formation they had just formed among.
