2383 Confused Artillery Battle

As long as the Dawan people escaped, the changes in the entire battle situation became very favorable to the Qin State. Vertex. The update was the fastest, because most of the Qin army was a Xiongnu cavalry unit, and escaping in the wilderness was very conducive to the pursuit of their cavalry.

However, just when the 26th Regiment mobilized its forces to pursue and kill the other party. The reinforcements of the Qin army also felt. The twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth cavalry regiments came one after another. For this practice of snatching credit. Meng Kai felt very ashamed. But there was no way, most of his troops were in the city, and he only had two companies of reserve troops in his hands, and it was obviously a little powerless to pursue and kill the other party.

"Shaman" Island. This is the name given to present-day Singapore by the Chu people, and this title comes from the local shaman. They don't know that this shaman is a satish, but that's what they call it.

Nowadays, Koreans call it Jang Woong Island. This is named after the captain who was the first to land on the island. There is a big conflict between the two, whether it is Shaman Island or Zhangxiong Island, and now the Chu people and Koreans are doing it. As a result, the merchant ships coming and going nearby, as well as the migrant ships of the Chu State, could only avoid them as much as possible.

"Boom. Boom, boom, boom. In the distance, several clumsy Chu warships let out the roar of artillery. They were violently bombarding the stronghold established by the Koreans on the shore, which had artillery batteries that could effectively suppress the strait, and if they had not discovered it in time, the Koreans would have continued to increase the number of batteries and the range of their artillery, at which point their ships would have had to go around.

"Gotta take it down. Boom me. Approached boom. Wang Dayu, the captain of the "Flying Fish", shouted loudly. But his ships did not actively approach, and the Chu people were armed with cheap smoothbore guns. This type of artillery is raised at an angle and is able to reach a large range. But the accuracy is very low. Moreover, the types of artillery shells equipped with are also very simple, all of which are solid shells. Some of the shells were carved out of stone by themselves. There is no way, the maintenance cost of the ships of the Chu State is very high, and they can only save as much as possible on weapons and ammunition.

Wang Dayu is very aware of the significance of Shaman Island, which was occupied by the Koreans. This place can control the entire strait, and if the Koreans ask them for tolls, they can't help but give it, and with more and more migrant boats appearing, this is very bad for the interests of the Chu people. It is precisely because of the special geographical location here that many pirates are involved, but they are far away, they only occasionally fire a few cannons, and their ammunition is also lacking, so they can only strengthen their courage, and nothing else can be done. The Koreans are armed with rifled guns, which are very accurate and can be used as long as they are close. They will be able to make a big hole in their ships. The most terrible thing is that they also have flowering shells, and if this ammunition hits, the ship will explode and cause great casualties. They were very reluctant to see this ammunition exist, but the Koreans were really equipped with it.

It is said that there are also marines from the South Korean Navy, and they have a musket team stationed here, and it will take a long time and cost to take it down.

"Captain, you can't fight like this. The Koreans were waiting for us to get closer. Once you get close, it's a blast of artillery. We can't stand this kind of bombardment. You see, the Flying Lance over there is already there. We can't get any closer. Wang Dayu's first mate eagerly suggested. If their ships are sunk, there will be nothing.

"Captain, look at the others, they are all waiting for us to come forward and consume the ammunition of the Koreans, if the Koreans call, we will not have it. They'll be able to eat ready-made, so let's stop it. Besides. The Koreans didn't ask for money either, they just built a stronghold there, and those pirates came for the supplies of the Koreans, and we took the lead in this way, losing our own troops. "The first mate suggested.

This time, the Chu people attacked the stronghold of the Koreans, which was completely organized by themselves, and had nothing to do with the Chu government. They believed that the Koreans had occupied their own land, and then they began to negotiate, perhaps they were rude in the first place, and when they negotiated, there was a quarrel, and then war was declared. It's just a messy way of going to war, and that's how they get along.

Wang Dayu looked at the pirate ships and other ships behind him, they just kept wandering back and forth to prevent being hit by the opponent's cannonballs, and only occasionally fired a cannonball. And some do not fire a single shell, but just watch the development of the situation, which is a typical wait-and-see mood.

Inside the stronghold, South Koreans are holding binoculars to check their surroundings.

"These damn Chu people, they are so shrewd, they just don't get close and fire indiscriminately. It was a waste of shells to fire and not hit us. Waste of gunpowder. A young second lieutenant officer looked outside with a telescope to check the situation.

"Wait, as long as they don't attack. We don't shoot. Don't waste shells. Major Li Tong said. He's the commander here. He had more than three hundred men in his hands and twelve artillery pieces. Among them were two rifled guns capable of firing accurately. This is the most feared thing by the people of Chu.

"These Chu people, let them take the initiative to negotiate with us, I was just ordered to hold this place and occupy this place, this is already the land of the Queen of Korea, and they are definitely not allowed to occupy more places. It's our job to stay here. Li Tong said resolutely. There is no reason for the land occupied by the Koreans to be ceded again.

And that's not all. Li Tong believes that the geographical location here is very important, and if they can occupy this place, they will be able to gain a great strategic initiative. The people of Chu keep going to the West and passing through here, and controlling this place can control the development of the people of Chu. In this regard, Li Tong believes that this is beneficial to South Korea, and in his opinion, Chu will definitely be South Korea's biggest opponent in the future development. South Korea has to limit the development of the other side in order to have long-term development.

"Sir. The other side's artillery fire stopped. The second lieutenant said.

"Oh." Li Tong was a little strange.

"There's a small boat coming over. I think the other side seems to mean negotiation. The second lieutenant continued.

"Negotiations. Interesting. I'll see what the other side can talk about?" Li Tong said.

"We're ready to prepare. To prevent the other party from taking advantage of this opportunity to rush up, everyone should be careful. Li Tong ordered. He is currently in a precarious situation because there are no reinforcements from the South Korean side, and it will take time if they do. There are too many people on the Chu side. It's not good for them.
