Chapter 439: Partnerships

The Goryeo commander finally saw what was going on. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The arrows were all fired from the opponent's ship, and they were all fired by a type of equipment similar to a bed crossbow.

These arrows are incredibly powerful and have a very long range. Its three arrows are twice the range of an ordinary bed crossbow, and it penetrates into the wood, which is half a foot, and this kind of arrow cannot resist at all.

What's even more terrifying is that there are some arrows that are not meant to hurt people, but only to set fires. When three arrows are fired in a row, two of the arrows are equipped with a small amount of tung oil, and when the arrows hit the ship, the tung oil will be sprinkled on the ground, and the other is a rocket, which is used to ignite the fire. With the cooperation of the three arrows, the wooden boat was quickly set on fire, and it was extremely difficult to extinguish it.

This is definitely an improved type of bed crossbow, and the Goryeo commander has seen the other side operate those bed crossbows with his own eyes. It doesn't take dozens or hundreds of people to operate at all, it only takes three or four to complete.

Even more peculiar is the upper bowstring, where only two people pedal on a rotating wheel, and the wheel drives a slider, which drags the bowstring to the plate machine to complete the winding. This method is extremely simple and labor-saving, and it is fast and efficient, which makes people unheard of.

Perhaps this is just one type of their ordnance, but this alone is overwhelming for the Koreans, who are simply not capable of resisting and fighting back.

Fight back. People's arrows have been shot on their bodies, and their own arrows are only halfway through, this is not an order of magnitude of range, how to fight back?

Fend off. It's also a joke, hardwood can fit half a foot, what other force can stop the impact of that arrow? In addition, if the fire is not extinguished in time, once the hull of the ship burns, even if it rushes out of the port, it will be buried in the sea, and no one dares to say that it will be able to swim back to Goryeo.

At this time, the three boats were in chaos, some raised shields to defend, some fought to extinguish the fire, and some tried to shoot back, in short, no one knew how to deal with this situation. Fighting, can't fight, run, can't run, even if you want to save yourself, it's hard to do it.

Under the continuous rain of arrows, the casualties increased rapidly, and many soldiers fell on the deck, and the wails resounded across the sea.

Where is this fighting, it is simply a massacre, a one-sided slaughter, and the killed have no power to fight back, but can only tremble in front of powerful weapons.

Finally, the soldiers of Goryeo were cowardly, they were like looking up to a powerful giant, and they could no longer have the slightest thought of fighting back, all they could do was to hide in a safe corner, so as not to be killed on the spot.

The commander of Goryeo was cowardly, not to mention that he had no way to deal with it now, even if he had a move, he couldn't use it, the soldiers were in a mess, and he couldn't command anyone.

Everyone didn't know how to deal with it, and seeing that the fire on the ship was getting bigger and bigger, it would be ruined if no one made a decision.

At this time, an earth-shattering shout came again: "Disarm or kill." ”

This is a rehash of the old saying, and it is also a way to show the Goryeo soldiers a way to live, if they don't, then wait for the ship to die.

The Goryeo soldiers finally understood that there was only one way to go, and there was no place to bury them.

It's ridiculous that before he laughed at the other party's excessive actions, they all went offshore and shouted "disarm and don't kill", at that time I thought it was a joke, but now it seems that others are telling the real truth.

It was also clear that the Goryeo commander, who did not have the courage to kill, naturally did not want to fight to the end, and under the expectation of the public, he decisively gave the order: "Raise the ship and surrender." ”

……

The entire siege lasted only a little more than an hour, and it was naturally Wang Min who was surprised and delighted.

He was initially worried, for fear that the Song people would not be able to defeat the Koreans; As soon as he came into contact, the Koreans retreated without a fight, and then he began to frown again, and it turned out that the Koreans were so vulnerable.

Later, the siege and annihilation battle in the port began, and there was no suspense at all in that kind of one-sided battle, and the Koreans surrendered.

Seeing this, Wang Min was no longer happy, but horrified. He didn't expect that these Great Song people would be so powerful, and the extremely powerful Goryeo people in his eyes had no power to fight back, how should he face such Song people?

Peeking at Ni Yuchen, seeing that he was still immersed in the joy of victory, Wang Min sighed helplessly, with the same victory, he and his collaborators actually had the feeling of ice and fire, it seems that this victory is not a good thing for him.

Of course, whether it is a good thing or not is also relative, compared with those Koreans, Wang Min feels much happier, at least he does not have to endure the pain of casualties, and he does not have to bear the consequences of being captured.

Because at this time, Wang Min was listening to a soldier report to Ni Yuchen, and Ni Yuchen also made arrangements for the captured Goryeo.

"My lord, there are six hundred and thirty-one Koreans who have come to offend them. Among them, 500 were soldiers, and the rest were boatmen and their attendants. According to the statistics after the war, our army was not damaged, the Goryeo side suffered a total of 87 wounded, 30 were killed, and the rest were all captured. Of its three ships, one was badly burned beyond repair, and the other two were repaired and still functional. What should I do next? ”

Hearing this, Ni Yuchen nodded and said, "Everyone has worked hard. ”

Then he said: "The wounded are treated, the dead are buried on the spot, and those who descend are imprisoned and served as servants." ”

This is already the most humane arrangement, at least Wang Min has not heard of a more humane treatment of prisoners of war.

"My lord, I have captured two officials in Goryeo, one of them is a civilian official and one is a military attachΓ©, dare to ask your lord how to deal with it?" The soldier continued to report.

It's normal to catch officials, how can there be a battle without officials to follow, it's just that the officials are also appointed by the imperial court, and they are just executors.

Of course, this is just a general statement, and most of the officials who came with the order still have careful thoughts, as for what? It depends on the situation, but most of what is said on the surface is lofty, but in private, it is a puddle of filth, and anyone with a discerning eye can see its fundamental purpose.

Ni Yuchen used to be an official of the Great Song Dynasty, so he was naturally no stranger to this, so he was not interested in meeting these officials in person, and he said with general interest: "Take people into custody first, and then meet when you have time." ”

This sentence shows his mentality, and it also represents his indifference to the Goryeo people, and in his eyes, Wang Min's heart is surging.

Compared to Goryeo, the Tamna Kingdom is nothing, even insignificant, Ni Yuchen doesn't even pay attention to the officials of Goryeo, what is he a weaker monarch?

Fortunately, it is now a cooperative relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is not good, the two families are equal on the surface, and Wang Min can only think that Ni Yuchen is a moral person.

It's just that before his thoughts fell, he heard Ni Yuchen say: "Your Majesty, the foreign affairs have been settled, let's talk about the matter between us." ”
