Chapter 1037: Water Battle (Part II)
After the encounter, a series of changes on the battlefield seemed to be dazzling, and Wang Junlin's sailors were cut into two sections, which seemed to be inferior, but in fact this was a planned adjustment and deployment.
Liu Yidong led 50 warships to adjust their direction to the north and extend to the flanks to meet the enemy ships, while Luo Chunlai led 25 warships to the east at full speed.
The place where the flank of the entire sailor is washed through is actually the junction where Liu Yidong and Luo Chunlai respectively command the sailor, the former is intercepted in the east and is in the downwind direction, and the latter is intercepted in the west and is in the upwind direction.
Wang Junlin adopted such a tactic in order to minimize the losses of his side as much as possible.
At the same time, Wang Junlin's 100 expert guards had already established a beachhead on the island. Due to the fact that there were warships on the outside and the fact that there were not many of the hundred guards led by Chunqiu Nu, Insect Demon, and Zhang Tiangang, Li Chengkun did not find the existence of the beachhead at all.
In short, the situation looks chaotic, but in fact it is in order, and everything is going according to plan.
Liu Yidong's subordinates still used a relatively complete formation to let go of the front formation of the Goguryeo naval division ships that were grabbing the beach in the upwind direction on the west side, and directly pressed the rear of their flanks, while Luo Chunlai commanded his subordinates to adjust the sail mast and course to the north-east, disengaged.
After Li Chengkun found that Wang Junlin's warships were obviously larger and more aggressive, he was bent on grabbing the beach and landing on the island, relying on their superiority in strength to win the battle, but he did not see through the layout of Wang Junlin's side at all, and seemed to give him an impact on the flank of Wang Junlin's ship formation, but in fact, his flank was exposed to the front of the 25 warships led by Luo Chunlai and Wang Junlin, and his front formation was eager to seize the beach, and he did not care about and respond to the flank and rear formation.
Although Wang Junlin and Luo Chunlai each only had 25 warships, one of them was 5,000 stones, seven of them were 3,000 stones, and all the others were ships of 1,000 stones.
After the formation of the Goguryeo naval division was completely chaotic, the officers and soldiers of Wang Junlin's side used hooks and pallets to connect the side and kill the enemy ship.
Liu Yidong, who first disengaged from the east, belonged to intercept the scattered warships of Goguryeo and fled in other directions, forcing almost all Goguryeo warships to rush to the beach and land on the island in order to survive.
Kim Guohan, Lee Jong-il and the two envoys of Baekje were dumbfounded, they thought that the sailors of Wang Junlin's side were at a disadvantage, but they would have thought that in front of the warships of Wangjunlin's side, the 10,000 sailors of Goguryeo would come violently, but they would be so fragile that there was no process of stalemate, and almost no decent resistance was formed, and they were defeated by Wang Junlin's side.
In the sea water battle of more than 10,000 people, Goguryeo was twice as many as Wang Junlin's side and had 1,000 more troops, and the warships were three or four times larger, but the victory was decided almost as soon as the battle was engaged, and the whole process did not even take half an hour, and the defeat of the Goguryeo naval division seemed to be too fast.
Li Chengkun had lost control of his warship, until the guards surrounded him and climbed down from the ship, climbed to Dami Island, and saw the bright red sunrise rising from the sea level in the east, in the north beach in the northwest of Dami Island, the sea water was like blood, I don't know whether it was to reflect the morning sun red, or to dye the blood red, and now in a beachhead in front of them, the combat effectiveness shown by the hundred or so people was a big startle.
There is a defensive position on the north beach, there are only about a hundred people, but these people are a hundred masters led by the insect demon, the Spring and Autumn Slave, Zhang Tiangang and others, although the number is small, but the worst of these people are the masters of the foundation building period with one to ten, of which there are no less than twenty masters in the stagnation period, and there are more masters in the Spring and Autumn Slave and Zhang Tiangang such as the Broken Gong Period, coupled with the terrifying means of the insect demon, for a time the beach was also full of blood.
There is no way, although there are many Goguryeo sailors, more than 2,000 people died in the sea at most, and more than 8,000 people rushed to land on Dami Island, but these people were frightened, and they rushed up in waves, not forming a battle formation to kill them, which created a great opportunity for these hundred or so masters to kill one by one.
It wasn't until these 100 or so people killed more than 2,000 people, and the guards in the foundation building period were about to be killed, that Li Chengkun gathered the remaining 5,000 people and launched an attack or defense with a battle array.
At this time, the more than 300 warships they left in the sea had become the spoils of the king's side.
Li Chengkun organized the people, leaving 1,000 people to surround the position of 100 or so people, and let the others retreat to the middle of Dami Island in batches.
And at this time, he thought of a key problem - they didn't have much food with them. To be precise, except for the small amount of rations carried by the generals, the other supplies on the ship have now become the trophies of the king's side.
There is no need to count on wound medicine, except for the wounded military attache who carries a small amount of hemostatic medicine, whether the injured ordinary soldier can survive depends on whether his life is hard or not.
Wang Junlin stood on the deck of the large aft cabin, looking at the battlefield at North Beach.
The overall situation has been decided, and a war of attrition with casualties for casualties is meaningless, and fighting attrition with Goguryeo at this time is the most stupid way to play.
Therefore, he ordered Zhang Tiangang's side to let more than 100 people hold their positions, no longer take the initiative to charge the Goguryeos, and no longer prevent them from escaping to the depths of Dami Island.
Then he ordered to use the ship's long-range crossbows and catapults to carry out a long-range attack on the officers and soldiers of the Goguryeo Naval Division on the beach, beating the 1,000 people left behind by Li Chengkun to cry wolves and flee in all directions, and then Zhang Tiangang led a hundred guards to rush out and kill them, like wolves entering a flock, leaving most of the 1,000 people behind.
In the end, less than 5,000 people fled to the depths of Dami Island with Li Chengkun.
Next, Wang Junlin unhurriedly ordered the officers and soldiers of the 3,000 Sailor Division to land on the island, and drove the officers and soldiers of the Goguryeo Sailor Division into the depths of Dami Island.
As long as Goguryeo can't send a fleet that can suppress Wang Junlin and his party to rescue in the short term, it will not want to rescue these nearly 5,000 remnants of soldiers smoothly, and Wang Junlin wants to see how many days these 5,000 people can survive on barren mountains and wild islands.
Anyway, there was not a grain of grain on the island, and there were no ships anywhere except for the North Beach and the port where they were located, and the 5,000 or so Goguryeo people had nowhere to flee if they wanted to.
