Chapter 1042: Return to Dami Island
In the face of the first wave of attack arrays led by Wang Junlin, the Goguryeo people had more than 100 warships in the outer port, although the number of warships was superior, but their size and attack power were at a great disadvantage.
Before they could take the ship, the Goguryeo people were frantically attacked by fifty long-range crossbows and fifty catapults.
When they got closer, short-range bows and clay pots filled with fire oil came together. By the time they reached the port, the Goguryeo people's 100 warships in the outer harbor had collapsed and fled in panic.
There were more Goguryeo warships in the inner harbor.
The inner harbor is surrounded by a long headland that stretches out of the coastal hills, and the inner harbor is more than 200 steps wide. Originally, in order to turn around, the Goguryeo people caused several ships to collide and block the port, causing the Goguryeo warships to be unable to get out.
Wang Junlin's eyes were like torches, he saw the situation clearly, and directly let go of several Goguryeo warships that fled in panic in the outer port, blocked the inner port, and mobilized a thousand stone warships that were good at near-port combat to break through from the port, completely destroying all the Goguryeo sailors trapped in the port.
There are still about 3,000 Goguryeo people who have landed on the island, but Wang Junlin led fifty warships too fast, and they were entangled by Liu Yidong and others, and they could not help the fierce battle at sea. Seeing that their own naval army was defeated, the Goguryeo people on the shore knew that they could not capture Dami Island, so they also gave up the attack, shrank back, withdrew their troops to the depths of the island, and joined the remnants of the troops led by Li Chengkun on the island......
Half an hour later, the fighting near the port of Dami Island was completely over, and more than 1,500 Goguryeo people died and more than 400 surrendered.
At this time, in the depths of Dami Island, there were no less than 7,000 people after the convergence of the two waves of Goguryeo, and compared with the nearly 4,000 people who joined the garrisons of the two islands of Wang Junlin, they still had an absolute advantage in strength, but these Goguryeo people obviously did not have much confidence in their land battles, and after the melee battle found that they were far from being the opponent of Wang Junlin, they only cared about fleeing.
Wang Junlin and the others landed on Dami Island from the long cape of the outer harbor, and Luo Chunlai hurriedly ran over to meet him.
Luo Chunlai's right arm was wounded, it can be seen that the fight just now was extremely dangerous, if they hadn't come in time, they destroyed all the warships that came to aid the water division with a devastating momentum, and wiped out nearly half of the warships that came to aid the Goguryeo water division, so frightened that the more than 2,000 Goguryeo water divisions who landed on the island were worried about being surrounded by both sides, and fled at the first time.
The next battle became very simple again, Wang Junlin ordered all the ships that had been killed or captured by the enemy to concentrate in or near the port, first of all, to eliminate the possibility of all the Goguryeo people on the island to escape, as for the use of the island's trees to build ships, first, the Goguryeo people did not carry tools, and second, they were only sailors and soldiers, not shipbuilders, and they really did not have this ability.
Therefore, the way to deal with the more than 7,000 Goguryeo people in the depths of Dami Island was the same as before, starve them for a few days, and then go into the island to hunt and kill.
"Pass the order, at the port location, start digging fortifications in front of all the warships, after all, the Goguryeo people are not stupid, and they will soon counterattack the port." After listening to Luo Chunlai's report, Wang Junlin directly gave an order.
Sure enough, when Wang Junlin's side had just built a defensive position, the Goguryeo outpost appeared.
Obviously, the Goguryeo people also thought of the idea of Wang Junlin's attack, and after the two remnants of Goguryeo converged, they launched a counterattack on the port, in a vain attempt to seize the warship and escape, and even relied on the superiority of troops to turn defeat into victory.
……
……
Dami Island looks magnificent under the afterglow of the setting sun, but Li Chengkun is not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dami Island at dusk.
He had been leading more than 7,000 men to attack the small defensive position in front of the port for two hours, and there had been no significant progress except for the loss of more than 800 corpses.
As a last resort, Li Chengkun found a high place on a hillside to watch the battle, in a vain attempt to find out the reality or flaws in the defensive array.
The Sui people's long-range attack is too strong, and the melee fight is also fierce and abnormal, Li Chengkun's strong attack is not good, and he deliberately selected elite attacks a few times, but he has never been able to break through.
After repelling an attack just now, Li Chengkun watched the battle for a while, and saw that the elite of the attack retreated in frustration, and impatiently grabbed the saber in his hand.
It was getting dark, and there was still no hope of capturing the port position, so several generals who were in charge of organizing the attack came over to ask for instructions on whether to withdraw their troops to the depths of the island to rest and recuperate, and then come back tomorrow to continue the attack.
"There's still some time to do it again." Li Chengkun looked up at the sky and ordered: "If you don't attack, you can't do it!" The food we have on us is gone today, and how much strength will we have left tomorrow when we are hungry? You go up in person, and then gather all the officers' personal soldiers together, and they are more combat-ready......"
Before Li Chengkun could finish speaking, at this time, Wang Junlin's side suddenly withdrew the obstacles in front of the defensive position, and the soldiers who had been holding the position came out with swords and shields.
Li Chengkun stood on the hillside, and he could see that there were still many Sui people behind the position.
This strange situation immediately attracted his attention, picked up his saber and rushed forward, and reminded the generals loudly: "The Sui people must go out of the position to fight!" The order went down, so that everyone was ready to fight to the death, and those who were resting in the back hurried to come, and all those who had bows and crossbows in their hands were concentrated on the left flank, and the two wings were to be equipped with more large shields, and they were to be drawn out as much as possible......"
Since this was the last strong attack before dark, the Goguryeo attack numbered 1,000 people, and the formation was relatively crowded. And the five or six thousand people who rested behind hurried here.
In short, the Goguryeo people did not expect that Wang Junlin's side chose to counterattack at this time, and their side had to adjust the formation in a hurry, which would inevitably be even more chaotic.
Li Chengkun looked at the chaotic situation of his subordinate officers and soldiers, his face suddenly became ugly, he found that it was not a good thing to let the other party go out of the position to counterattack at this time, he looked at the more than a dozen warships in the port behind the position at some point, and suddenly thought of a suspicious point, his back was chilled, his face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted loudly and ordered: "Quickly form a formation and defend it, don't fight in waves!" ”
Li Chengkun guessed that Wang Junlin's side was taking the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take this side by surprise, but they had been holding back for most of the day, and they were looking forward to such a large-scale opportunity to engage in short-handed combat, and they wanted to use the advantage of their strength to entangle the Sui people who came out of the position to counterattack and drag them out, as long as a certain gap was opened, he could send another team of elites to pass through and grab the camp gate warship.
Unfortunately, there was a piercing sound of breaking the air from the dozen or so warships, and then more than two dozen cobblestones the size of adult heads roared past the Sui people's positions and smashed into the battle formation they had just organized.
