Chapter 1835 - It's Hard to Get Out
After the Qing army occupied Anju, they left behind about 2,000 Korean people and more than 70 shipbuilders in the area, and let them work day and night to catch shipbuilders and rafts. In addition, dozens of ships were transferred out of the Yalu River and south through the Yellow Sea to Anzhou to solve the shortage of vehicles on the Qingchuan and Daning rivers, which could not meet the logistical transportation needs.
However, these actions are all temporary cramming, and the effect they can play is really limited, and a few ships can be built in a hurry. The Korean defenders had already obeyed the command of Haihan and emptied the ships in the two river basins, and even the shipbuilding timber that had not had time to be transported away by the river sank into the river, and the Qing army had to prepare timber to build ships, and the timber for shipbuilding had to go through one to three years of shady drying. However, it is easier to build a raft, as long as the wood is cut off from the trunk and branches, processed to a similar length and fixed together, and then you can go into the water.
Of course, with the Qing army's plan, there is probably no plan to use these improvised vehicles for a long time, and they will be used for a month or two now, and these vehicles will be useless when the war is over. So no one cares about its quality and durability, as long as it doesn't sink in the water. At this time, no one could have imagined that not long after the army left Anzhou and headed south, it would be driven back by the enemy in disgrace. And to make matters worse, the fleet of the Haihan people actually arrived at the Qingchuan River before their own army.
When two huge Majestic-class warships suddenly appeared on the Qingchuan River, the Qing army, which was defenseless, immediately abandoned all ships and rafts and took the initiative to shrink the defense line to Anzhou City. Although the Qing army left more than 2,000 troops in Anzhou, no one dared to challenge this monster equipped with dozens of naval guns with bows, arrows and spears.
Fearing fraud, Tom ordered two rounds of cannons to be symbolically placed at the pier to confirm that there was no Qing army in ambush. However, the Qing army's initiative to retreat made the navy's work of cleaning up these small boats and rafts on the river bank much easier, because to use naval guns to hit these small targets, it was inevitably suspected of killing chickens with knives, which would not only consume a lot of ammunition but also have a very low cleaning efficiency, which was far less fast than manual demolition.
After confirming that the Qing army had abandoned the defense of the riverbank, Wang Tom ordered the marines on the ship to land immediately, scuttle the ships on the shore as soon as possible, dismantle the rafts, and pour oil on the wood piled up on the shore and burn them all. The main task of the navy at the moment was not to destroy the Qing troops stationed in Anzhou City, but to try to destroy the vehicles that could be used by it to cross the river, so that it could intercept the main force of the Qing army returning to the north.
