Chapter 249: Whale Sea Victory
At this time, on the 'Goguryeo', Cui Yu's face was gloomy, and he really regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't have instigated the king of Goguryeo to let the sailors go to sea to fight a decisive battle with the Great Jin Navy, this is simply looking for death!
"Order all ships to break through on their own, and target the port of Rajin!" Seeing that the Goguryeo naval division was about to fall, Cui Yu had no choice but to order the fleets to flee on their own.
After receiving the order, the ships of the Goguryeo naval fleet immediately turned around, no longer entangled with the Great Jin Navy, and directly accelerated their voyages in the direction of Najin Port and Chongjin Port, bent on escaping back to Goguryeo. However, will the Great Jin Navy let the boiled duck fly away?
"Not good! My lord, the Goguryeo people want to run? The soldiers on the flagship discovered the enemy's movements through the telescope and immediately told Li Zhao.
"Humph! It's not that easy to run! Tell the fleets to speed up immediately, catch up directly, and try to sink them all before the Goguryeo sailors escape back to the port! Li Zhao quickly conveyed the latest combat order.
After the three pillars of incense, the flagship of the Goguryeo naval division, the 'Goguryeo', was once again hit by more than 20 heavy guns of Fuchuan. This time it was an absolutely fatal blow, the starboard side of the 'Goguryeo' was hit near the waterline, and the thin wooden side was instantly pierced, blowing out a large hole more than one meter wide, and the raging sea water quickly poured into the 'Goguryeo', and the Goguryeo people could do nothing about it.
As a last resort, Choi had no choice but to transfer from the 'Goguryeo' to other warships to continue commanding the battle. The 'Goguryeo' flipped on its side after only a cup of tea and then sank into the sea. Leaves a huge swirling socket on the surface of the sea. Of the hundreds of Goguryeo sailors on the battleship, only a few dozen escaped, and the rest sank to the bottom of the sea with the battleship.
The naval battle continued, and after sinking the 'Goguryeo', the Dajin Navy aimed at the remaining Goguryeo warships, which were not the opponents of the Dajin at all, and could only fight back aimlessly while accelerating towards the coast of Goguryeo.
At the end of the day, the Dajin light cruiser fleet in charge of outflanking finally blocked the escape of the Goguryeo naval division, and one after another solid bullets, flowering bullets, and chain bullets hit the Goguryeo warships. The solid bullet directly penetrated the deck of the Goguryeo warship. And the flowering shells exploded on the deck. Killed many Goguryeo sailors in an instant.
In the ensuing battle, more than 300 Goguryeo naval warships, in addition to disarming and surrendering
"My lord, the Goguryeo sailor is about to finish!" '101' flagship. Join the army and look at the enemy who is gradually surrounded. He screamed excitedly. When the first detachment of the home fleet of the Dajin Navy gathered its main force to bombard the 'Goguryeo'. The remaining two detachments took the opportunity to scatter and hunt other Goguryeo naval ships.
After the sinking of the 'Goguryeo', more than a dozen Goguryeo warships were damaged. The remaining Goguryeo people were already frightened, and they had no courage to continue fighting, and they only wanted to escape for their lives.
"Excellent! The fleets were ordered to continue the attack. "As for the performance of the home fleet, Li Zhao is very satisfied as a commander. Up to now, the eighteen main warships of the Goguryeo Naval Division that had been sunk by the Dajin native fleet, plus the ten battleships that had been captured, had lost their combat effectiveness.
Even so, the Great Jin Navy still showed no signs of mercy, and one after another, with the kind of sharp whistling sound that pierced the air, continued to smash the sea, splashing columns of water. The entire Goguryeo naval division was almost completely surrounded, and the situation was quite dangerous.
On the sea, only the last main battleship of the Goguryeo Naval Division was stubbornly resisting, and Choi Bi, the titular commander of the Goguryeo Naval Division, who had been transferred to the small boat, was preparing to flee. I saw that the last Goguryeo warship had been surrounded by the intensive artillery fire of the Great Jin navy.
In the salvo fire of the Dajin Navy again and again, the last main warship of the Goguryeo people was hit by several shells in an instant, and a cannonball fired from the flagship once again hit this Goguryeo naval division warship. At a tricky angle, the shell pierced through the hole pierced by the solid bullet and landed directly on the bottom of the ship, detonating in the middle of a group of sailors.
The huge power generated by the explosion of the flowering bomb directly killed most of the Goguryeo sailors, and at the same time blew a big hole in the bottom layer. A large amount of seawater poured into the battleship, and the last Goguryeo naval warship was completely buried in the sea in the shortest possible time, and soon the entire battleship sank to the bottom of the sea with the bow facing down and the stern facing up.
Sitting on a small boat, Choi happened to witness the destruction of the last battleship of the Goguryeo naval division, which made him stunned, and at the same time, his heart was full of fear. Until now, not a single battleship of the Dajin Navy has been sunk, not even heavily damaged, but only a little insignificant minor injury, but the Goguryeo Navy has sunk countless warships.
"Could it be that this time it is really the death of Goguryeo?" Many of the Goguryeo sailors were frustrated that even Choi thought it was a mistake to go into exile in Goguryeo. I knew that Sima Shu was so fierce, and he wouldn't have mixed it with Wang Jun's rebellion. It's just that there is no regret medicine in the world.
"Haha! Another one was sunk, which is very good! Li Zhao looked at the sinking of Goguryeo's last main battleship and said very happily. As an admiral, in his own opinion, there was nothing more wonderful than the sinking of one enemy warship after another. It's a refreshing feeling to watch enemy ships being sunk continuously.
"Damn, do those Jin people really think that we are easy to bully? Why has it been targeted at us? Some of the Goguryeo generals who survived the disaster felt very aggrieved. Less than three hours after the battle began, the Goguryeo naval division lost all of its main battleships, leaving only a few small ships.
"Boom! Rumble! "The roar of artillery fire sounded on the sea, and one by one the shells flew towards the Goguryeo naval division, and the entire battlefield completely showed a one-sided advantage, and the Great Jin Navy firmly occupied a favorable position.
After another stick of incense, the battle of the sea that took place in the Whale Sea was finally coming to an end, except for a small number of Goguryeo naval division warships who escaped in chaos, the rest of the more than 200 warships, including all the main warships, were all sunk or captured by the Great Jin Navy.
This naval battle in the Whale Sea shocked Goguryeo. This naval battle is the largest naval battle so far since the establishment of the Dajin Navy, both in terms of scale and intensity of the naval battle.
There is no doubt that with the fall of the Goguryeo naval division, there was no longer a sea force in the entire Northeast Asia that could threaten the Dajin navy. Although Goguryeo had been prepared for defeat in this naval battle before, when the final results came back, it still shocked Goguryeo. At the same time, the strength of the Dajin Navy is also sideways. There is no doubt that the strength of the Dajin Navy has become synonymous with invincibility.
The outcome of this naval battle stunned all Goguryeo people, and at the same time dealt a heavy blow to the opponent's confidence in resistance. In fact, while the naval battle was going on, Tao Kan took the opportunity to command his army on land to capture the southeastern part of Goguryeo in one fell swoop, so that half of the Goguryeo country fell into the hands of the Great Jin.
At the same time, having solved the threat from the sea, the soldiers of the Qixiang Marine Corps in Vladivostok were ready to attack Goguryeo from the northeast with the help of part of the Julou people. More than 20,000 marines swept away the leaves like an autumn wind, and quickly captured the important town of northeastern Goguryeo.
In the north in May, it is the time of spring flowers. As the Jin army continued to intensify its attacks, the situation in Liaodong became more and more tense, especially when the 100,000 Huns were wiped out, the Xianbei and Wuhuan people in Liaodong became more and more panicked. Especially those Hu people who had oppressed the Han people, they couldn't wait to make a decision at this time.
There are three main tribes of the Xianbei people in Liaodong, namely Duan's Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei and Murong Xianbei. Since the turmoil at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Han population has gradually moved inward after a sharp decline, so that the Xianbei people in eastern Liaodong account for more than 70 percent of the total population, and their population has reached more than 2 million.
At this time, in the Duan clan, Duan Wu Muchen was frowning and looking at the battle report in his hand, and in the entire room, in addition to Duan Wu Muchen, there were several of his henchmen and generals and his sons. Outside their rooms, they were guarded by a large number of Xianbei soldiers to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"Da Shan Yu, this is the battle report that has just been received, tens of thousands of Jin troops have appeared in the northeast of Goguryeo, and they are rapidly eroding the territory of Goguryeo. It won't be long before the whole of Goguryeo will perish. Once there is no Goguryeo containment, more and more Jin soldiers will enter our territory from our north and east, forming a three-sided attack with the Jin army in the south of Youzhou. ”
"Yes, in this way, we will be in danger, the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty swore to the sky to exterminate our Duan clan! It's all your fault, who let you bully the Han people in the first place! Look, it's okay now, the Han people have come to retaliate, and this time it's not just the end of talking, before they slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Hu people in order to retaliate against the Huns. Hum! In the future, our Duan Xianbei will not think about it! ”
"Hey, what do you mean?! Didn't you take advantage of the benefits of the year? Now it's our head to blame. Hmph, you think that if you do this, Jin Jun will let you go! Hum! Stop dreaming! ”
"Enough! What are you arguing about! Before the enemy came, you yourself actually messed up first, which really disappointed Ben Danyu! Duan Wu Muchen immediately stopped the argument of his subordinates, he also knew that as the Great Jin became stronger and stronger, the situation of the Duan clan became more and more bad, especially when the Duan clan had caused a lot of sins in the Central Plains, completely blocking their back road to surrender to the Great Jin. The Duan clan had no other way out than to die in battle. (To be continued......)
