Chapter 392: Vagoryeo 4

Due to the extreme proximity, the first round of artillery bombardment of the Qi assault fleet achieved a near-perfect hit rate.

The 9 medium-sized Fukubunes shot at the 8 Itaya boats on both sides and actually achieved more than 8 percent hits!

The 10-pound naval cannon is full of power, and the 2-pound divine cannon can fire three rounds in a very short time, so they all bring unimaginable damage to the enemy.

Seven of the eight Panya ships of the Goryeo Navy Division blocked at the mouth of the Han River were directly sunk or destroyed, and the last one was also severely damaged and had to be forced to sail to the north bank of the Han River to grab the beach and run aground.

In addition, because of the dense formation, 3 Baozuo ships were affected by artillery fire, and another 2 Baozuo ships were directly hit and sunk by the medium-sized Fu ship of the Qi Army!

The Qi assault fleet broke through the blockade of the Goryeo naval army like a heavy plough splitting the soft ground, and the Gyeonggi Provincial Naval Division was almost completely wiped out in less than five minutes!

This result rightly shocked the remnants of the Koreans.

The rest of the boats were immediately in disarray, and some of the small boats fled and sailed directly out of the mouth of the Han River and into the sea.

Other boats turned around in a panic and fled to the upper reaches of the Han or Imjin rivers.

The Qi assault team continued to advance, and the Goryeo boats blocking the route were directly hit and sunk, and if they were lucky enough to escape to the sides, they were naturally harvested by naval guns and musketeers on the deck.

By the time the Qi army had bypassed the small peninsula at the mouth of the Han River as planned and formed a sea encirclement of the defenders of Manjusri Mountain City, they had already sunk at least ten more Baozuo ships.

About half an hour later, the Qi army landed on the east and west sides of Wenshu Mountain City at the same time, of which the west side was the main force of the Qi army, a total of 2 infantry battalions and 1,300 infantry.

On the east side is the Marines of the assault fleet, each medium-sized ship has 20 sailors and 1 magic gun, a total of 180 people, 9 small cannons, except for the gunner, the other landing sailors are all equipped with flintlock guns.

During the landing of the Qi army, the Goryeo Army did not pose any obstacle to the Qi army, except for a few short arrows.

They didn't even take the initiative to try to at least drive one side of the Qi army back into the water.

On the contrary, the Qi army found that the gate of Manjushri Mountain City had been opened, and some Goryeo soldiers actually began to flee while the land encirclement network was not yet closed!

This somewhat puzzled the Qi army, after all, according to intelligence, the enemy's army should have more than 3,000 people, and they had a double advantage in strength and terrain over the landing force of the Qi army.

On the city of Manjusri, several Goryeo officers pulled their throats and brandished swords to force ordinary soldiers to seal the gate opened by deserters.

Although there were not many Goryeo soldiers who fled, perhaps only 100 or 10, the morale of the remaining soldiers had obviously fallen to the lowest.

Therefore, the Qi army still did not receive any resistance, and after landing, it only took half an hour for the two Qi armies to return to the division at the foot of Wenshu Mountain City, and officially completed the encirclement of Wenshu Mountain City.

By this time, the Goryeo army hadn't even fired much of that short arrow.

The Qi army's actions became extremely calm, and the follow-up army units landed one after another, and after the army's forward Pingyuan Brigade completed the landing, the Qi army launched an attack on the mountain city of Wenshu.

At this time, there were actually 27,800 defenders on the city of Manjusri, which was still a little more than the total strength of the Qi army, but the morale of the two sides was completely different.

After all, even the most stupid people can now understand that this attack is not an ordinary Japanese robber.

After the Qi army completed the siege, several Goryeo soldiers who escaped from the mountain city actually found the commander of the Qi army and surrendered on their own initiative.

Among them, of course, Jin Yun was thinking about how to save his life before the war started.

For Qi Jun, this person is a treasure, because although he is a slave and has infinite hatred for the Goryeo Kingdom, after all, he is from a high-ranking official family and is very familiar with the situation in the Goryeo Kingdom and Manjushri Mountain City.

With such people taking the initiative to lead the way, the military operations of the Qi army in the future will definitely be smoother.

After roughly figuring out the situation of Manjushri Mountain City from Jin Yun, the Qi army no longer hesitated and directly launched a general attack on the mountain city.

The navy's divine guns and the attached artillery of the Pingyuan Brigade were all concentrated on the southern road and launched an artillery bombardment on the mountain city.

The terrain of Manjushri Mountain City is very dangerous, and the elevation angle of the heavy artillery of the Qi army is not enough, so it cannot attack the mountain city itself.

However, any difficult terrain must have a firm defender to be useful.

What's more, the defense of Manjushri Mountain City itself is very poor, the city wall here is only more than 3 meters high, in fact, two people can stack Arhats and climb the city wall directly, and there are no battlements at the head of the wall, all the Goryeo soldiers are standing on the bare wall, exposing most of their bodies, just like a live target, it is hopelessly stupid.

A platoon of selected soldiers held shields to resist the short arrows that were fired from time to time, and the Qi artillery directly disassembled the light magic cannon and the gun carriage and carried it up the mountain.

About 100 paces away, in front of the Goryeo defenders, the artillerymen assembled the light cannon and aimed it at the bare so-called city wall.

Perhaps feeling the great pressure, the short arrows shot by the Goryeo army became dense again.

At this time, the south gate of Manjusri Mountain Castle opened again, and a Goryeo military general wearing iron armor rode a horse and led about 300 Goryeo soldiers to launch a counterattack on the artillery position of the Qi Army.

Naturally, the Qi army would not be polite, and a total of 15 magic machine guns of the navy and army used two rounds of shotguns, plus 900 muskets of the infantry, and smashed the only counterattack of the Goryeo army in front of the city gate.

The Goryeo officer on horseback fell to the ground in the first volley — he was too conspicuous to target.

Having lost the strength to fight, the Goryeo army completely retreated into the city, closed the gates, and shrunk its head in its shell like a turtle, waiting for the victor to dispose of it.

With such a good target, Qi Jun will naturally not be soft.

The god cannon calmly fired three rounds at the head of Manjusri Mountain Castle, which was not covered by battlements, two of which were solid bullets and the last round was shotgun, which was used to sweep away the unobstructed Goryeo soldiers.

Then the soldiers were selected to raise their shields, use short ladders to climb the top of the city, and kill all the Goryeo soldiers who did not escape.

The so-called wall of Goryeo is a slope on the back of the inner side, and you can directly reach the city by following this slope, and there is no need to snatch the stairs to go down the city, because there is no such thing in the city of Goryeo.

Hundreds of brave commanders drove hundreds of Goryeo routs and took the city, some opened the south gate of Manjusri Mountain City, and the other Qi infantry were silent and quickly passed through the city gate.

At one o'clock in the afternoon of the 26th, the Qi army conquered the mountain fortress of Manju, the gate of the Han River estuary, and annihilated more than 3,000 Goryeo army and more than 2,500 navy.

Among the annihilated Goryeo army, about 2,000 people were killed, of which two-thirds were navy troops, and the remaining 3,500 were all captured.

Ah, by the way, the Qi army also got about 100 Goryeo soldiers who voluntarily surrendered.
