Chapter 331: The Fall of the Goryeo Marine
After receiving the summons from Sun Xingu's sister-in-law and his wife, Shi Wengong and others strengthened their maritime patrols and vigilance, and two days later, Li Junqin led a maritime expeditionary force to meet the enemy.
Looking at the soldiers stepping on the warship one after another, Shi Wengong was waiting respectfully with the soldiers on the shore, and said loudly, "I, Shi Wengong, am here to wait for the triumph of the soldiers!" ”
Hearing Shi Wengong's words, a warm current surged through the hearts of Li Jun and the others. Then he nodded solemnly at Shi Wengong, and then Yang Fan went to sea to meet the Goryeo sailors.
This Goryeo naval division has a total of 5,000 soldiers, and the ships they take are only middle and low-class, so they are not as good as the naval expeditionary force under the command of Li Jun, who is highly equipped and numerous.
I saw the two commanders on the first battle ship of the Goryeo naval division talking, "I don't know who is so bold and dares to occupy our Tamna Island, it is really hateful. ”
"I think it's just some pirates and robbers, and the general doesn't have to worry too much, when our sailors arrive, those pirates will definitely be defeated by us. Speaking of which, we have to thank these pirates and bandits, so that our sailors can also establish some meritorious deeds. ”
"Hahaha, yes, yes, if that's the case, come, let's let General Ben see who the thief is, come to give us merit."
As the two were talking, they saw dozens of small black shadows floating from the sea from a distance, and they were getting bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, they were shocked to find that those little black shadows were actually warships.
Looking at those behemoths, the two Goryeo generals were obviously panicked, and then one of them exclaimed, "This, this, didn't you say that it was just a pirate robber, how could such a small thief have such a big warship, it seems that it is enough to top our three warships combined!" ”
A general was also panicked when he heard this, and then he trembled his hands, kept rubbing his eyes, and said, "I, I don't know, where did these people get such a huge warship. General, what are we going to do now! ”
Before the general could reply, he saw Li Jun on the other side give an order, and then set up a cannon from his ship. The first cannon was heard, and then the dozen or so warships behind him fired artillery at the Goryeo naval division one after another.
It turned out that since Ling Zhen went up to Liangshan, Shi Wengong had been talking with this technical talent for a long time, and placed the artillery he was good at in various places, and this big loach ship was one of them.
Moreover, Shi Wengong also thought of the terrifying black powder from the theories of later generations, and studied it with Ling Zhen. Because the black powder is so powerful that it is afraid of being noticed by others, Shi Wengong and Ling Zhen have not used it in actual combat since they started researching, and this time they went to Goryeo, Ling Zhen's black powder was Shi Wengong's biggest barrier and reliance.
This war was not so much about expanding the territory of the Central Plains, but rather about the trial battle before Shi Wengong's official rebellion.
When they heard such an earth-shattering sound, the two Goryeo generals and a group of Goryeo soldiers covered their ears with their hands, and their faces were full of horror.
"What's wrong, what's going on, what a movement, it's so amazing!"
And before they could reply, everyone felt that there were countless waves under the boat, and they almost couldn't stand on their feet.
Since this was the first actual battle of Li Jun and others, and the ship's artillery was also used for the first time, it was a little inferior in its accuracy, so under this first round of attack, the Goryeo sailors on the opposite side were only frightened, but none of the warships were hit and fell into the water.
However, Li Jun was not discouraged, and after carefully adjusting the accuracy and direction of the artillery, he ordered the second round of attacks.
At the same time, on the first ship of the Goryeo Naval Division on the opposite side, the second-level general said, "General, this should be an offensive launched by those pirates, although I don't know what it is, how can there be such a huge noise, but I think it should be about the same as the stone-throwing in our city." ”
When the general heard this, he strengthened his mind, and then said, "The stone-throwing tool, so it is, is actually a stone-throwing tool." But they were able to place the stone-throwing machine on this warship, but they were unheard of and unseen, and it was amazing. ”
Before the general could finish praising him, Li Jun's second round of artillery flew into the air again, also accompanied by the earth-shattering sound. But this time, after a plausible explanation, the Goryeo general was not so alarmed.
However, this time he was shocked to find that the pirates were not using the so-called catapult. Because, when these cannonballs hit their own warship, their warship lost its power and ignited a raging fire, and at the same time, countless Goryeo soldiers were hit by the cannonballs and died on the spot.
"Nope! It's not a catapult, it's a sharp weapon, it's so powerful. You must report this news to the king, and ask him to pay careful attention to this powerful weapon of this gang, definitely! ”
Before the general could finish speaking, the ship he was riding on slowly fell into the water. Even the general, along with the warship, fell into the vast sea.
Subsequently, under the merciless blows of Li Jun and others, the dozens of Goryeo warships were swallowed by the sea one after another, and only two or three were lucky not to be hit by Li Jun's artillery. But now they were shocked by the devastating sight in front of them, and then hurriedly turned the bow of the ship and headed towards the rear of Goryeo National, but they no longer dared to fight against this group of pirates.
After seeing that this cannon was so powerful, Li Jun was also surprised. With such an artifact, as long as there are enough cannonballs, on this sea area, Li Jun's army is not invincible.
But despite this, Li Jun also knew that he must not ask his soldiers to rely on these artifacts, otherwise, the soldiers under his command would lose their due combat effectiveness.
And after seeing that the Goryeo sailors on the opposite side were annihilated by themselves in one fell swoop, and only a few small boats were left to return to report the news, Li Jun ordered.
"The whole army is advancing rapidly, and we will definitely destroy the Goryeo naval division on the opposite side in one fell swoop, and we must not leak it out when we have artillery on our ship! At the same time, I will send another ship back to Tamna Island to report to my brother, so that my brother can act according to the plan, and the others will pursue the enemy army with me and land in Goryeo! ”
After hearing Li Jun's words, the soldiers were greatly boosted, and then shouted, "Obey!" Then the sails were set up and waved, and they sailed towards the kingdom of Goryeo.
At the same time, the commander of the previous Goryeo Navy Division did not die, and he and some soldiers who did not die immediately hid under the water one after another to avoid the killing of Li Jun and others.
