Chapter 194: The Battle of New Jeju
There is a saying that although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Although Goryeo is just a small country, but there are still naval forces, after all, the coastline of Goryeo is very long, but this Goryeo naval army really does not dare to compliment, the so-called warships are just a few merchant ships bought from the Great Song River and Zhejiang as the main warships, Goryeo local craftsmen can only build some warships about the same size as centipede ships, and there are naturally no guns on board, but there are single-shot giant crossbows.
The king of Goryeo was furious when he knew that New Jeju had been occupied. Immediately dispatched half of the country's only naval army, 500 naval troops, and 20 large and small warships to attack and recover New Jeju Island.
It turned out that not long after Hu Cheng took people away, Goryeo sent people to spy on the situation repeatedly, Gongsun Sheng didn't look at it as a Taoist priest, it was not a vegetarian, relying on the only troops at hand to arrest the spies sent by the Goryeo side, but the Goryeo people also explored almost, knowing that the island was full of immigrants who farmed the land, and the troops were very small, so they sent a naval army to recover New Jeju Island by force.
On this day, at the new Jeju port, Gongsun Sheng, Xiao Rang, and Xu Guanzhong held a small meeting, and as for the MCA of the machinery factory and Meng Kang of the shipyard, they were busy with their work, and it was inconvenient to disturb them.
Gongsun Sheng said: "According to what we have heard recently, the Goryeo army will come over soon, but at present, there are already 10,000 strong men on the island who have undergone simple military training, as long as the Goryeo country is not attacked by the whole country, it is definitely not afraid, but this Goryeo naval division is a trouble, after all, the strength of our naval army is too weak." ”
Xiao Rang is in charge of Tuntian, and he knows a lot about the affairs of the strong men, these ten thousand strong men are all selected from the refugees, most of them are people in their twenties and thirties, and they are all very effective with a little training.
Xu Guanzhong next to him said: "The five centipede ships are all improved, and each ship has twenty sailors. If sails are used in battle, at least seventeen or eighteen people can operate the weapons, and each ship has three lying bull cannons and three giant crossbows fired in a row. With a total of fifteen Lying Niu Cannons and fifteen repeating giant crossbows, it may be impossible to annihilate the Goryeo Naval Division, but it is possible to remain undefeated. ”
Gongsun Sheng did not interfere in the affairs of the navy, but only arranged for people to prepare military supplies for Xu Guanzhong. Sure enough, three days later, the Goryeo sailors arrived, with more than 20 warships.
Xu Guanzhong smiled at the soldiers of the navy: "The sailors of the little Goryeo country are just like this, just like a fisherman, everyone beat them hard and captured their boats. ”
Originally, everyone was still a little nervous, but when Xu Guanzhong said this, they were not nervous, everyone boarded the boat quickly, raised the sails, and quickly stepped on the water wheel, the centipede boat was small but not slow, like a high-speed bus sailing at high speed on the sea.
Because they wanted to capture the enemy ships, they didn't ignite the fires on the crossbows.
Xu Guanzhong said: "Shouting." ”
The soldier picked up the horn of the tin roll and shouted loudly to the Goryeo sailor on the opposite side: "You have entered the territorial waters of New Jeju, please stop the ship and check." ”
The Koreans were muttering and shouting, and everyone couldn't understand it.
Xu Guanzhong said: "I'll come." ”
Saying that, Xu Guanzhong picked up the tin horn and spoke to the Koreans in Goryeo: "You have entered the territorial waters of New Jeju, stop advancing immediately and be checked." ”
"Tamna Island is our Koreans, you hurry up and get out, otherwise the great Goryeo will let you sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish." The Koreans replied.
The soldier next to him asked Xu Guanzhong, "What did they say?" ”
"They said they were going to let us go to the bottom of the sea and feed the fish."
The verbal fight is the most boring, at first it was still a conversation with Sven, but it was quickly changed to a scolding war, and even the ancestors were scolded eight times, no different from the shrew scolding the street.
Xu Guanzhong said: "Order, the giant crossbow shoots in a single shot." ”
Fifteen giant crossbows were fired together, and the spear-like crossbows struck the Korean ship, and an unlucky Goryeo sailor was nailed directly to the deck, crying out that he was dead and alive.
The Goryeo sailor was taken aback, he didn't expect the range of the opponent's ship's giant crossbow to be so far, at least one-third farther than Goryeo's giant crossbow.
The Koreans were furious, shouting and firing one by one, and there were quite a lot of giant crossbows, and they rained down, and it seemed that there were at least seventy or eighty giant crossbows, and the Koreans shot fire crossbows, and the flames burned and shot into the sea.
The Koreans sped up and pounced, menacing.
"Rush diagonally and keep a distance of at least 400 meters from the Goryeo fleet." Xu Guanzhong ordered.
Xu Guanzhong relied on the centipede ship to turn to the fast speed, attracting the Goryeo fleet to run around, and from time to time to hit a few giant crossbows backwards, the Goryeo sailors gradually had casualties, but the casualties were very small, and the deterrence of such a long-distance giant crossbow shooting was greater than the actual benefit.
Seeing that they could not catch up with the centipede boat, the Koreans wanted to go ashore instead. Xu Guanzhong gave an order, and the centipede warship returned to follow the butt of the Goryeo warship, and the giant crossbow was fired one after another, suddenly, suddenly. This time it was a fire crossbow fired, and the huge rocket fire dragon burned the canvas of three or four ships as easily, and the soldiers of the Goryeo Navy hurriedly began to extinguish the fire, and the sailors began to paddle.
The commander realized that if he did not destroy the enemy in front of him, he would not be able to land at ease, so the fleet turned around and decided to destroy the five pesky centipedes in front of him first.
This time, Xu Guanzhong did not turn around immediately, and ordered the Lying Niu Cannon to be ready for launch, for fear of scaring the Koreans, only three Lying Niu Cannon were ready to be fired. The Koreans thought that these enemies were stupid, and the sailors rowed desperately and quickly approached.
At a distance of about 200 meters, the Korean fireballs burned several sails one after another, but the soldiers on board were well hidden. Boom, boom, three loud bangs, the Lying Ox Cannon made a bull-like roar, and the hot iron sand sprayed out, hitting the fastest Goryeo warship, and the Goryeo soldiers on the deck were cheering, and the iron sand tore through the thin clothes of the Goryeo Navy and got into the white flesh.
Ah, the screams were endless, and the Korean soldiers were lying on the ground as if they had suddenly gone crazy. The characteristic of Lying Niu is that it makes the enemy incapacitated, not directly killed, and these three cannons are enough to lay down twenty Goryeo soldiers.
The Koreans suffered heavy losses, and although the ship was intact, most of the sailors were destroyed, and the battle was definitely not fought.
The Goryeo commander was a little dizzy, what kind of weapon is this, so many people were abolished with a loud bang. The commander of this fleet was a commander of the Shaozhuang faction loyal to the king of Goryeo, and he was eager to get the new weapons on the Great Song fleet, so he ordered a full pursuit. The sailors rushed and fought one by one, Xu Guanzhong did not fight hard, and let the soldiers step on the water wheel and retreat quickly.
At this time, Chaogai's large fleet arrived.
The observer of Xu Guanzhong's fleet was the first to discover the situation, and immediately went to tell Xu Guanzhong: "Report to Captain Xu, a fleet is coming, and the flag is Chao Tuanlian and Ruan Xiaoqi's fleet." ”
Xu Guanzhong was overjoyed: "When our reinforcements came, they immediately sent flags, asked for support, and captured the enemy ships together." ”
"Yes." The two sides contacted through the flag language and made it clear that it was Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi who came. However, Chao Gai did not intend to command this small naval battle, and the command was still Ruan Xiaoqi and Xu Guanzhong.
The Goryeo commander couldn't tell whether it was a warship or a merchant ship, but he looked at the flag and compared it with the people who were fighting with him, and after comparing the disparity in strength between the two sides, he immediately turned around and ran.
Ruan Xiaoqi went down and the six Flying Eagle warships chased after him, and the newly assembled Tiger Squat Cannon also became powerful, and the guns on the six warships were fired together, and the cannonballs were like dumplings, bang, bang. It's just that the manufacturing level of this shell is not good, most of them are solid bullets, and the shooting accuracy is not good, but a solid iron bullet at such a long distance fell on the Korean warship and easily tore apart the Goryeo warship, and two fishing boats converted into warships entered the water and sank on the spot.
Xu Guanzhong led five centipede ships to follow at full speed, and the sleeping cow cannon was like a firecracker during the New Year, knock, knock, smoke, and from time to time the Goryeo ship was shot. The giant crossbow also fired rockets and burned the sails of several ships. The fleet closely pursued the Goryeo warships for more than ten miles, and captured five Goryeo warships before returning home.
When Ruan Xiaoqi and Xu Guanzhong came back, Chao Gai was already arranging for the team to land, and the soldiers were responsible for maintaining order and letting the recruited 3,000 young men land. Most of these 3,000 people are Yizhou people, all of whom are landlubbers, and they almost didn't vomit to death after half a month on the boat, and they were excited and happy as soon as they stepped on the shore.
Gongsun Sheng and Xiao Rang greeted them from afar, and Gongsun Sheng said: "My brother came just in time, and he just beat up the Korean people to let them know that they are powerful." ”
Chao Gai smiled: "It's just a small punishment, the casualties of the Goryeo fleet are very small, but they are enough to scare the courage." ”
Xiao Rang next to him said: "Not only are the Koreans frightened, but we are also frightened when we look at it on the shore, the artillery on our new warship is too fierce, hitting so far, and the smoke is billowing out." ”
Chao Gai called Yuan Lang, Mi Sheng, Jin Ding, and Huang Yue over and introduced: "This Taoist is our three military divisions Gongsun Sheng, Gongsun Daochang. ”
Gongsun Sheng shook the dust and said, "I've seen the four of them a long time ago, it seems that they are all fierce generals." ”
Yuan Lang, Mi Sheng, Jin Ding, Huang Yue, and Xiao Rang introduced each other one by one.
Gongsun Sheng said: "The newcomers need to build a temporary camp, and then build a house in the future, so I will arrange for people to start setting up camp." ”
Yuan Lang said: "Don't bother Gongsun Junshi, let's do these things." ”
Chao Gai said: "Okay, Jin Ding and Huang Yue, you two will assist the caravan in carrying the goods." Yuan Lang and Mi Sheng led the three thousand newcomers to build a camp, and collected all the raw materials on the spot. ”
"Yes." The four of them went down and got busy.
Gongsun Sheng looked at this group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old strong men and smiled: "Could it be that Brother Fei plans to turn them into soldiers?" ”
