Li Yu used the three major fleets of 300 warships obtained from the imperial court, each with a commander and two deputy commanders on the left and right. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The left deputy commander He Lan led 30 warships and 3,000 soldiers to stay in the South China Sea and Geoje Island, keeping an eye on the 30,000 Silla troops on the south coast of Silla.

After three days and nights of sailing, Wang Aoke and Yu Ling, the right deputy commander, led 150 warships and 7,000 soldiers of the Yellow Sea Fleet to quietly force Pohang Fortress, the northeast gateway of Geumseong, the capital of Silla, to attack the eastern Silla naval division in Pohang Port.

When the dawn rose, under the mist on the sea, the right deputy commander made the fifty brisk Mengchong warships led by Yu Ling full of sails, and the oarsmen on both sides of the ship and the stern of the ship gritted their teeth, rowed the oars in their hands hard, and quickly approached the harbor shrouded in the mist on the west coast.

Early morning was the time when the vigilant soldiers were most mentally exhausted and vigilant, and most of the 8,000 Silla sailors in the barracks in the barracks in the interior of the harbor spent the night, and at this time they slept like dead pigs, unaware that their warships had already been targeted.

In Pohang Harbor, a full 400 warships were docked neatly, and the guards on board yawned and were sleepy-eyed. The guards on the ships anchored at the outermost part of the harbor rubbed their sleepy eyes and looked out to sea, dozens of black dots were rapidly approaching the harbor.

The guards were a little strange, what were these black dots? He rubbed his bewildered eyes again and looked at the sea for a while, and finally saw what the dozens of black spots were.

It was dozens of pirate ships with skull flags on black backgrounds on their masts that were wreaking havoc on the southern coast, and behind these dozens of ships there were many more and taller pirate ships rushing to the back.

The guards panicked and shouted, "Enemy attack ......"

Pohang Port, the northeastern gateway to the Silla royal capital, has not heard of an enemy attack for an unknown number of years, and the establishment of a naval division here was only to guard against possible attacks by Goguryeo in the north and the Wa kingdom in the southeast.

More and more of the Silla Navy guards were awakened from their sleep by the exhaustive roar of a soldier and looked out into the sea beyond the harbor.

Dozens or hundreds of pirate ships that had heard of the plundering of the South went north and came straight at them.

"Enemy attack...... Enemy attack ......"

More and more guards shouted loudly, waking up more soldiers who were still asleep.

"Knock knock...... Some clever soldiers immediately beat the war drums on the ship, and the rumbling drums shook the sky over the entire port of Pohang.

In the camp of the land naval division, more than 6,000 soldiers of the Silla naval division who had not yet gotten up were woken up by the sound of war drums, and one by one opened their mouths to scold which bastard general for beating drums and gathering troops early in the morning? It wasn't until a group of soldiers rushed into the barracks and slammed the soldiers who hadn't gotten up yet that these lazy guys were reluctant to put on their armor.

"Hahaha, now I realize that it's too late for us to take the scriptures, Silla little ghost, let's try grandpa's fierce fire oil."

Yu Ling, who was ordered to lead the small and fast Mengchong warship to break into Pohang Harbor first, held the obstacle knife (Tang like a big knife) in one hand and the side of the ship in the other, and said with a smile, giving the flag to the flag bearer and directing the ships to assault.

When the Silla guards discovered that the Tang army was approaching, Yu Ling's Monchong fleet was only two miles away from the harbor, and when the drums of the Silla sailors in the harbor sounded, the Yijing was drawn closer to within one mile.

Seeing that the pirates were about to rush into the harbor, the officers and men of the Silla Naval Division who remained on the warship hurriedly untied the ropes tied to the dock and pulled up the anchor to prepare for the battle.

When the outermost Silla warships left the dock, Yu Ling commanded the Mengchong fleet to rush into the harbor with murderous spirit. An arrow shot at the soldiers on the decks of the outermost Silla warships into hedgehogs.

In the frightened eyes of the surviving Silla soldiers, two thirty-foot fire dragons erupted from the side of the pirate ship, instantly igniting their own warship. The other party also threw two clay pots, which shattered with a bang when they landed on the deck, and a black oil splashed all over the deck, burning when it caught fire, more violently than wood, and burning the thick deck to the crackle, and a warship was instantly plunged into a raging fire, and the Silla soldiers in the cabin were mixed with flames and screamed in all directions......

The shipbuilding technology of Silla was not high, and the warships equipped by the sailors were about the same size as the Mengchong warships led by Yu Ling, so that Yu Ling, who was tasked with raiding and disrupting the Silla sailors, was fighting in the harbor as if he had entered a no-man's land.

Except for Yu Ling's ship, which was equipped with four fierce fire oil tanks, the rest of the 50 Mengchong warships were only equipped with one, but the results created were remarkable, and they set fire to more than 60 warships of Silla.

Yu Ling heroically claimed that each ship under his command was equipped with four fierce fire oil tanks, and he could completely annihilate the Silla Navy without the need to command the main force to come.

The main force of 100 warships led by Wang Aoke also broke into Pohang Harbor a quarter of an hour after Yu Ling entered the port, relying on the strength and height of the ships, a kind of rampage. The Silla warship, which was not long-eyed, was horizontally in front of the shipping route, directly overturned, and on both sides of the ship, eight fire dragons flew, congesting the harbor, and the Silla warships that were difficult to dispatch were shrouded in the obscenity of the fire dragons, and one after another became the torches in the port.

The warships that entered the harbor with Wang Aoke were all large ships, which were the essence of the navy formed by Li Yu, and the smallest warships were twice the size of the Silla warships. The capital ship is five floors high, more than 100 feet (about 29.5 meters), can accommodate 800 soldiers, has 6 poles, and is 50 feet (about 14.76 meters) high, which is used to smash enemy ships. Now the building ship is equipped with a big killer in the sea, and the fire oil tank is even more powerful in the port.

In just half an hour, more than half of the 400 Silla ships in the harbor were ignited by the pirate ships that burst into the harbor. One by one, the guards on the ship cried wolf and jumped into the water to escape for their lives.

Although the remaining half of the Silla sailors had some of the ships that had untied the cables and anchors, not only did they not dare to come forward to meet the pirates who were unscrupulous in their lair, but most of the men on board were still in the land barracks before they could board the ships. The pirate ships that dodged the flames on both sides of the narrow harbor like rats and cats were eventually sprayed into another fire by more pirate ships.

More officers and men of the sailors on the Silla warship were frightened by the sight of Ahbi hell in front of them, and rushed ashore and ran towards Pohang in the distance.

The more than 6,000 well-dressed Silla sailors in the land barracks watched in a stunned state as the pirates flying the skull flag wantonly bullied their ships.

The Silla naval commander was so angry that he ordered his soldiers to board the ship to meet the battle, and when he saw that his tongue was useless, he whipped him, but no one was willing to send him to death.

When the general was furious and drew his sword to kill a soldier who did not want to obey the order, the more than 6,000 Silla sailor soldiers on the shore roared and ran towards Pohang in the rear without looking back.
