Chapter 391: Vagoryeo 3

The enemy's carelessness is the best chance.

On November 26 of the second year of Longdao, the forward of the Qi army boarded the ship again, and this time the forward force of the attack was still dominated by the naval artillery fleet, and the transport fleet was responsible for helping the army to cross the narrow Jianghua Bay and land around the mountain fortress of Manjusri, striving to directly form an encirclement posture for the main force of the Goryeo army in the mountain city of Manjusri.

Ganghwa Bay is very narrow, only about two miles wide, and the strait is densely packed with reefs and large tidal differences, so it is not suitable for attacking, but it is much better to enter the Han River directly from the northern part of Ganghwa Island.

In the early morning of the 26th, the new grandfather clock installed on the bridge of the "Dengyingzhou," the flagship of the Qi army, sounded crisply, and at 7 o'clock, the war drums sounded, and the Qi army began to march towards the mouth of the Han River.

……

Jin Yun stood on top of the low city wall of Manjushri Mountain City with his bow and arrows, looking northwest with a great eye at it.

There, the Japanese who had occupied Ganghwa Island at some point were making a big move, and in Jin Yun's opinion, the other party had hundreds of boats, many of which were even large Zhou boats.

He felt that these people were probably not pirates, but the fleets of that country in the Central Plains, or the powerful pirates that belonged to that country.

But Kim Yun didn't tell his commander about this speculation.

Because Jin Yun is an official slave.

In Goryeo, the people were divided into two classes: the aristocratic class, which consisted of the royal family and two classes, and the middle people, who were mainly yeoman farmers.

As for slaves and maids, whether they are official slaves or private slaves and maids, they are not considered human beings.

Goryeo is a nominal Confucian state, in order to ensure slavery under the premise of conforming to Confucianism, Goryeo even deliberately formulated the "Mother Law", that is, the political status of slaves follows the mother, the reason is very straightforward: "Knowing the mother does not know the father, and the beast is also".

Animals are not human beings, so they can naturally be used for slavery at will.

In order to ensure the number of slaves and solidify the class, Goryeo implemented the policy of "public and private slaves and maids are subordinate to their mothers, and slaves who marry good daughters are subordinate to their fathers"!

That is to say, although theoretically the mother is not a slave, then even if the father has a low status, the child is not a slave, but in practice, regardless of the status of both parents, as long as one of them is a slave, then the child is a slave.

Completely subordinate!

The Kingdom of Goryeo directly stipulated in law that slaves and maids were equal to animals such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses, and that slaves and maids were only the property of nobles, nothing more.

Therefore, if Jin Yun reported his doubts to his noble commander, it would be equivalent to a pig or a cow giving his own opinion to human beings - a pure way to find death.

Seeing that the enemy was not a Japanese and that his strength was very strong, for Jin Yun, it was not to help his army to win, but to remind himself that it was time to think about how to escape.

Kim Yoon has no loyalty to the Goryeo Kingdom, after all, he is just a by-product of a drunken Hu Lai of the Gyeonggi Provincial Navy Festival (so he knows who his own father is, and he also knows that he should be surnamed Kim), and the man who gave him half of his blood does not recognize his identity, but regards his birth as an event similar to a cow giving birth to a calf, such a "calf" naturally does not have any sense of belonging to the Goryeo Kingdom.

Looking down from the walls of Manjusan Fortress, the Goryeo Gyeonggi Provincial Navy Division is arraying at the mouth of the Han River, with 8 large boats (originally 9, but one was killed by the Qi army's reconnaissance ship before) as the core, and 32 Baozuo boats as the auxiliary, forming a decent plum blossom array.

In terms of the quality and quantity of their ships, the Goryeo sailors were completely at a disadvantage, but they were able to rely on the support of the army on Manjusri Mountain Fortress, so they were still confident of victory.

If the opponent is really just a wolf.

The Qi fleet was led by nine medium-sized ships, each of which formed a small triangular formation and three small formations formed a large formation, and rushed directly towards the Goryeo fleet blocking the mouth of the Han River.

The two sides approached rapidly, during which the Qi army did not fire artillery, because the ships were swaying at sea, and the accuracy of the cannons was much shorter than on land, so the navy's artillery training still emphasized the first round of fire suppression at very close range—the naval artillery regulations even considered that the first round of fire was best carried out within range of the opposing archers.

So the Navy just silently approached, closer, and closer to .......

When the distance was about 100 paces, arrows like locusts suddenly flew from the Goryeo warship, and a dense rain of arrows pierced the baffle of the Fukufu, making a sound of dok.

Subsequently, the other Qi army was somewhat surprised that there was also a rain of arrows flying on the Wenshu Mountain City near the mouth of the Han River!

Most of the feathered arrows fired by the Goryeo sailors were blocked by the ship's planks, but the feathered arrows thrown from a high place could pose a certain threat to the sailors on the deck.

The three Fu boats that rushed to the front were shot into hedgehogs by a rain of arrows on the land and sea of the Koreans, and dozens of Qi Navy soldiers were shot, and the cries of pain continued to sound.

However, Luo Haitao, who was in command on the "Dengyingzhou", which became the attack arrow, found that the enemy's arrows were very short, about half the length of normal arrows, and they were all sharp and light arrows, and their lethality was very weak.

In addition, the enemy's shooting distance is so far away, as long as you are not unlucky enough to be directly hit in the head, otherwise you will basically only be injured and not killed.

Therefore, the Qi army did not pause in the rain of arrows, and still rushed forward with a posture of crashing headlong.

The distance between the two sides approached to 50 paces, and perhaps because of the exhaustion of arm strength, the arrows of the Koreans became scarce.

Luo Haitao realized that the enemy on the opposite side lacked basic combat knowledge, at least he did not reasonably distribute the physical strength of his own archers, but let everyone shoot arrows desperately at the target until his physical strength was exhausted.

Luo Haitao sneered and shook his head.

It's a very easy target to do.

The distance is shortened to 30 steps, 20 steps, 10 steps!!

The Goryeo army's itachi ships were overwhelmed by the indomitable momentum of the medium-sized Fukubune that was one size larger than them, and the Goryeo ships in the middle of the plum blossom formation turned to the sides in an attempt to avoid the Qi army's ramming.

The Qi assault fleet immediately seized the opportunity and inserted through the gap that the enemy had vacated.

The "Deng Yingzhou" collided with a board house, and the planks of the two ships made a piercing sound of wood rubbing, and the guns of the two ships of the medium Fukufune fired the first round of fire at two different targets almost at zero distance!

Boom Boom!

In the deafening sound of cannons, the Banwu ship that collided with the "Dengyingzhou" collected all the shells as ordered, and after the 10-kilogram cannonball drilled out of the gun chamber, it almost pierced directly into the side of the Banwu ship, and all the energy of the cannonballs was transmitted to the Banwu ship without reservation, sweeping all the targets that stood in the way, whether it was the human body, the ship's board or something else, all of them were cut into pieces, stirred together and then sprayed out.

That board house ship was actually blown to pieces directly by a round of shelling!
