After clearing the resistance, the Song army immediately began to distribute the land under the leadership of Liang En, dividing the land on the island into large farms, and then distributing some of the shares to the people who had previously helped the military.

The decision was easy to make, as the island's biggest industry was horse breeding, and if you wanted to raise horses, you had to concentrate a large area of land instead of dividing it into small plots.

The military commander Zhang Sheng commanded the engineering troops and a group of island laborers to rebuild the port, including the wharf, freight yard and most importantly, the coastal defense fortress.

A large number of guns were removed from under the ship's hold and placed on the fortress, while gunpowder and shells were piled up in scattered cellars, allowing the harbor's defenses to take shape quickly.

Just as it took them a week and a half to complete the fort construction and accept the second group of reinforcements, the naval forces of Jeolla Province to the north of them finally reacted and launched an attack—a very unsuccessful one.

Lacking sufficient command capabilities, the fleet, which had more than 170 warships, could only sail in a long snake formation during the day. In order to avoid too many novice ships colliding during the journey, the speed of the entire fleet is turtle-fast.

Obviously, it is impossible for such a big movement to hide from Liang En, who is on alert, and this fleet has just sailed together. Liang En and the others got the news and were ready for battle.

"The other side has dispatched a total of 176 ships, and it should have mobilized all the ships on their south side." Looking at the situation of Momen Muluan's reconnaissance, Zhang Sheng opened a pre-war meeting in his flagship conference room.

"Although there are ten times as many ships as we are, they are not as terrible as they seem, because there are only 22 of them as capital ships, and the rest are just sailing ships and coercions."

The Gobune was the main force of the Goryeo warships, but the tonnage did not exceed 120 tons due to the main consideration of offshore navigation, and it was a keelless, watertight compartment and low compartment brig, and was able to use oars.

A sailing ship is a very rudimentary brig, often with a displacement of no more than 100 tons, with a flat bottom and no keel, and watertight compartments but no deck cabins.

The ships were smaller in tonnage than the first two, and were more powered by oars than sails, so they could hardly be found in the open sea, and would not have been in the battle at all if it had not been for the importance of the expedition.

All three types of vessels have the same characteristics, such as the flat-bottomed and the ability to use both oars and sails for offshore navigation, while the bow is reinforced for ramming tactics, but the side sides are very vulnerable.

There is no doubt that such a ship still has the power to fight against traditional warships, but it is not as powerful as imagined when facing warships such as Fukufune that have been transformed.

"So we are facing a fleet that is inferior to ours in mobility, firepower and speed, as long as we adopt normal tactics, then we will inevitably win this war, and the next task is arranged as follows-"

The battle meeting ended in only half an hour, and after the meeting, the captains returned to their ships, and Liang returned to his ship and raised a command flag at the mast.

According to the plan at the pre-war meeting, Liang En's warship was to serve as the No. 2 command ship. After the start of the war, he and his flagship will each lead a part of the warships to launch a surprise attack on the Goryeo fleet.

"Do you need my help?" Just as the ship slowly sailed out of the port, Ao Lei asked Liang En in a whisper.

"It shouldn't be necessary, after all, naval warfare is completely different from land warfare, the technological superiority in naval warfare will be much higher than that in land warfare, and our ships have a great advantage, so it is not so difficult to achieve victory." Liang En smiled and shook his head.

"But I need your help to counter the possible existence of that group of Goryeo cultivators, after all, the other party is equivalent to mobilizing the entire southern navy, and there is a high probability that there are cultivators accompanying the action-"

Compared to the opponent's fragile sailor, Liang En was more worried about the opponent's cultivator attack, so he would naturally be prepared to avoid losses when fighting.

More than an hour after the ship went out to sea, dots of white sails appeared on the sea antenna. After discovering the fleet, Liang En immediately summoned the god of lights to start a reconnaissance work.

As with the previous reconnaissance, these Goryeo warships slowly advanced towards the south in a long snake formation, and it was not until Liang En and the others continued to sail for more than ten minutes that the other party discovered the fleet that was rapidly approaching them.

Suddenly the Goryeo fleet was thrown into chaos, and Liang and the others even saw several ships crashing together, which made the situation even more chaotic, until a light rose from the flagship in the center.

"This should be a shamanic method, and we have a way to counter it." Just by glancing at that light, Ao Lei suddenly understood what the situation of the other party's fleet was. At the same time, the flagship also played the flag of being ready for countermeasures.

So in the next few dozen minutes, the two fleets approached as fast as two iron horsemen in a hedge, and finally collided with each other in the roar of artillery.

Because of the superiority in speed and mobility, the Song Dynasty fleet was divided into two fleets and rushed straight into the flank of the opponent's long snake formation, stirring up the opponent's formation into three sections.

One shell after another fell on the Goryeo warship, and because the modified Fubune used a 12-pounder Karon gun, it was easy to cut one big hole after another in the enemy's warship in this almost close-to-close combat situation.

At this time, the defects of the Goryeo warships that were too small and not strong enough were suddenly exposed, and even solid shells could easily cause huge damage to those ships.

Especially below the waterline, once hit by a bullet, it was almost impossible to salvage, and in just ten minutes, Liang En saw seventeen or eighteen ships sinking after one or two shells.

Half of them were caused by the fast gunboats under Liang En's seat, after all, the blasting shells he used were themselves extremely damaging to wooden ships, and almost every shell could create a large hole one or two meters in diameter.

If it was a ship with keels and ribs, it might not be a big problem, but for these Goryeo warships, a single shell was enough to break up the entire ship's structure.

"One more round." After passing through the formation, Liang En, who realized the weakness of the other party, quickly hung up a new signal flag, and then made a big bend with the fleet led by the flagship and rushed to the opponent's team again.

After several rounds of repeated tearing, the entire Goryeo fleet completely collapsed, and the ships scattered like hornet's nest in a hornet's nest that had been blown apart by firecrackers.

It is very good that the other party has been able to hold out until now, because the number of casualties of the Great Song Navy in several rounds of attacks did not exceed ten people, but they sank more than 90 warships in total.

This number is already more than half of the Goryeo naval division, if it weren't for the obvious difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides, the Goryeo people would have run away half an hour before they were worried that they would be easily chased and killed if they escaped.

"The other party's flagship is approaching!"

At this moment, Ao Lei, who was standing alone at the top of the fence, suddenly sounded the alarm, and Liang En also saw the left turn. There is a ship approaching at a rapid pace.

It was a geship, but it was significantly larger than a normal geship, and dozens of firearms were also installed on the ship, and the people on it were wearing sturdy leather armor.

Seeing a warship rushing out, the Great Song Navy ships quickly aimed at the other side and began to fire cannonballs, but those shells were stopped by an invisible barrier when they approached the other side.

"The power of the wind." Sensing the power on the boat hundreds of meters away, Ao Lei fell to Liang En's side and whispered. "There should be one or more shamans on the other side's boat."

"Manpower is limited, and practitioners are no exception." Liang En stared at the other party and waved his arm, and the ship's artillery erupted in a roar again.

"No matter what happens in the end, I've earned my extraordinary power with gunpowder and steel."
