"Sir, Bailing Island has arrived!" Du Haiwa stood on the bow of the boat and shouted happily.
Based on Du Haiwa's precise navigation, it took Wang Junlin and his party three days to finally reach the first island given to him by Yuan Taizuo.
From a distance, Wang Junlin also saw several stern boats waiting to greet them in the sea outside the island. He knew that they were Yuan Taizuo's number one general, Jin Yibei, and his party, waiting to hand over the island to him.
When Jin Yibei looked at the oncoming tall ships that were comparable to their domestic palaces from a distance, he couldn't help but take a breath. He could have sworn that he had never seen such a big ship before.
If the boat Jin Yibei was riding on looked like a dolphin, then looking across the way, the huge black boats painted black looked like whales!
Especially the building ship in the middle and at the front is dozens of feet long. The entire hull is rectangular, with a three-story tower structure. It is very majestic. There are hundreds of people moving on it, and various weapons near and far are deployed. In Jin Yibei
It seems that this is simply a miracle.
Wang Junlin and his entourage, hundreds of large ships, were like a huge mountain, pressing towards Jin Yibei! The sails had been furled, but the sailing speed had not slowed down much. The most important thing was that Jin Yibei could not see the wooden oars paddling at all. It was so big.
The battleship would never be able to reach such a fast speed relying only on its previous inertia.
Such a large ship collided head-on at such a fast speed, and the sharp collision angle seemed to kill them. Dozens of large crossbows and weapons he had never seen on the building were also aimed at them from a distance, making Jin
Yibei is terrified!
"The villain Jin Yibei pays homage to Duke An of Qin in the Sui Dynasty!" All the ships suddenly began to slow down sharply. When they were more than thirty steps away from them, they just stopped. Jin Yibei still had a look of fear on his face and stood there.
He bowed to Wang Junlin from a distance on the bow of the ship.
Next to her, Du Haiwa reported to Wang Junlin in a low voice: "Bizhi has just measured the latitude of this island, and it is almost the same as the latitude given by Siren. This island is indeed Bailing Island. There can be no mistake."
Wang Junlin nodded to Du Haiwa, and then said to Jin Yibei: "General Jin, I have kept you waiting for a long time. Are there any of you Goguryeo people on this island?"
Jin Yibei did not dare to neglect and immediately replied: "This island was originally ours."
There was a prison city where Goguryeo sent its felons to prison, but now all the people in it have been transferred out by our prime minister."
"Very good, lead the way." Wang Junlin glanced at Bailing Island and said loudly.
"I obey, little man." Jin Yibei bowed to Wang Junlin again, and then directed his group of ships to lead the way to the harbor on the other side of the island.
Wang Junlin ordered two thousand naval forces to follow his warship, while the other two thousand naval forces stayed put.
After Du Haiwa carefully observed the harbor, she reported to Wang Junlinhui: "Sir, the hydrology around this island is extremely complex, the tide range is large, and there are many reefs. If there is no ship familiar with the sea conditions here to lead the way, it is easy to hit the reefs, and besides
Apart from this port, other places where ships weighing more than a thousand stone are inaccessible."
"Yes, you are very accurate." Wang Junlin nodded. Based on his years of experience in leading troops in battles, this island is indeed a natural danger that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, if there is not a strong enough navy to control the sea power,
Natural dangers will also make the road smooth. After all, big ships can't get close, but there are small boats, and even these distances can be swam.
Under the leadership of Jin Yibei's ship, Wang Junlin and his party of fifty warships carefully circumvented the reef and went around to the other side of the island. The sea port is here, and not far from the sea port is the so-called
Prison city.
Seeing the simple and low "city", Wang Junlin burst into laughter: "This can be considered a city, not even a castle!"
It turned out that the so-called city mentioned by Jin Yibei was about the same size as a small village in the Sui Dynasty. It was no more than ten feet high. The lower part was built with stones and the upper layer was covered with mud. Regular troops could easily break through it.
!
Later, two thousand navy troops, led by Captain Guo Yi named Liu Yidong, disembarked one after another, took control of the prison city, and occupied the island.
After Liu Yidong arranged sentries and necessary precautions, and ordered the people below to start unloading the supplies brought from the ship, he took two captains and ran to Wang Junlin to report: "Sir, there is no problem on the island.
It's all under our control."
This Liu Yidong was originally a regiment leader among the navy officers and soldiers who were taken to Snake Island, because under Nie Xiao
After outstanding performance in the training organized by Yu, he was selected by Nie Xiaoyu to serve as Captain Guo Yi. He will lead two captains and will control the Bailing Island for Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "The Goguryeo people will never be willing to give us these two islands. That Yuan Taizuo is not an easy person. Maybe there will be some invisible arrangements on this island. So.
, after we leave, you must arrange for people to search the entire island carefully, send out sentries at twelve hours every day, and be vigilant at all times. Do not be polite to any invading enemies. Fight them first."
Liu Yidong looked solemn and said respectfully: "Don't worry, sir. Even if the three men in this humble position risk their lives, they will definitely protect this island for you."
Wang Junlin was very satisfied with Liu Yidong's attitude and continued to warn: "If there is any emergency, send a message with a white-bellied sea eagle. As for building a walled city on this island, you should proceed according to the previously planned plan and speed up as much as possible.
It would be better if we can source materials locally. If we need anything, I will arrange for one of our own business groups to deliver it as soon as possible."
Liu Yidong and the two captains took the order and left. Wang Junlin took another two thousand navy troops to leave Bailing Island and headed for Daami Island.
DaMi Island is more than a hundred miles away from Bangling Island. With the speed of Wang Junlin and his group's large ship, they arrived there in an hour.
At that time, Wang Junlin chose Dami Island because he discovered through the chart drawn by Nie Xiaoyu that the two islands were at the horns of each other. If one of the islands was attacked, the other island could immediately send troops to support it. Moreover, if the enemy attacked one island, it would
You must consider the garrison on another island, otherwise it will easily lead to a state of being attacked from both sides.
Don't look at the fact that Daami Island is only more than a hundred miles away from Daebaengnyeong Island. The latter is a foreign prison island of Goguryeo, but Daami Island is a pirate island. In order to save his son, Yuan Taezu found an excuse to send
The Goguryeo navy wiped out a group of pirates on the island and secretly controlled it until today when it was handed over to Wang Junlin.
After taking control of Daimi Island, Wang Junlin handed over Yeon Gae Suwen, who was imprisoned at the bottom of his ship, to Jin Yibei.
Yeon Gaesomun, the most powerful and powerful minister in the history of Goguryeo, has been imprisoned by Wang Junlin for a full year and a half.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
