Seeing nearly a hundred Goguryeo warships that were damaged due to hitting the rocks while rushing to the beach, Wang Junlin secretly cried out that it was a pity. These should have been their captured war profits. At least they could have been eliminated by Huang Shaoqiu and given to Fanyang County Navy in exchange for a large sum of money.
.
Nowadays, it would be too expensive to tow these damaged warships across the sea to Snake Island, unless Wang Junlin could build another shipyard on Daimi Island.
At this time, Jin Guofan, Li Zhongyi and two envoys from Baekje came over in two ships to meet Wang Junlin.
Under the fierce attack of Wang Junlin and his group of warships, all the remaining enemies on the Goguryeo side at sea have been destroyed. Except for the remaining enemies who rushed to the beach and fled to the depths of Daami Island, there was no way to fight back at sea. There were a large number of enemies on the North Beach and shallow sea.
The bodies of the Goguryeo people shocked them greatly.
"Congratulations to Qin An Gong for another great victory!" Prince Jin Guofan of the Silla Kingdom came on board the ship. He held his hands first and congratulated him, "Last time I was sent as an envoy to the Sui Dynasty, I heard that Qin An Gong was good at fighting. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true.
Well-deserved reputation.”
"The enemy was expected first, and the Goguryeo people underestimated the enemy. This battle will be easy." Wang Junlin smiled and said: "And this battle is mainly due to the bravery of the officers and soldiers below. In fact, it has little to do with me."
"Qin An is so humble. This is mainly due to Qin An's commanding skills and training of such a strong army!" Li Zhongyi said with a flattering smile, "In the future, with this naval force sent by Qin An, the Goguryeo people on the sea will no longer
Don’t dare to act wild anymore!”
"Oh!" Wang Junlin glanced at Li Zhongyi noncommittally. The change in his attitude was really disgusting.
"There are still 5,000 Goguryeo remnant enemies who have fled to the island. How do Qin An Gong plan to deal with them?" Jin Guofan interjected.
"If you surrender, kill them. If you don't surrender, kill them." Wang Junlin said calmly. In fact, he had another purpose, which was to surround the point for reinforcements. He believed that after Yuan Taizuo knew the situation here, he would probably be reluctant to give up these five thousand remaining soldiers.
Only when he defeated all the Goguryeo navy that was coming to support could he lead the navy directly to destroy the opponent's harbor military stronghold, leaving the Goguryeo people unable to invade Daami Island and Baengnyeong Island again within a year or two.
However, before the Goguryeo reinforcements arrive, these five thousand people will have to kill some more, but the premise is that they have to wait until these people have been hungry for a few days and become weak, and then send people to the depths of the island to easily kill these people.
Most of them were killed or captured, and the rest were used as bait.
The two envoys from Baekje State looked happy at this time.
After today's battle, the Goguryeo people will put a lot of energy and attention on these two islands. This will greatly reduce the pressure on Baekje, which is closest to here, especially when they see the elite of the Goguryeo navy on Wang Junlin's side.
The navy was so vulnerable that they regained some confidence in defeating the Goguryeo people.
At this time, Li Zhongyi regretted that he was too stingy before the war, but he could not go back on what he said. Seeing that Wang Junlin had no intention of keeping them, he could only return to Silla with Jin Guofan in depression.
Two envoys from Baekje also said goodbye and left. They wanted to tell the country the good news.
The naval battle was won easily just now, with almost no casualties on Wang Junlin's side. Soon the casualty statistics were tallied up. In this battle, they only suffered more than a hundred casualties. In this battle, they had annihilated no less than 5,000 Japanese soldiers, leaving only five
Thousands of enemies are already just meat on the chopping board.
But a piece of news coming from Bailing Island made Wang Junlin's face change.
Bailing Island fell, not because Yuan Taizuo sent another navy to attack, but because two thousand people appeared from nowhere on the island and killed Liu Yidong's one hundred subordinates who stayed on the island.
The centurion who was responsible for staying behind used a sea eagle to deliver the message before he died.
Wang Junlin thought for a while, then immediately called Luo Chunlai and said: "Luo Chunlai, your people will stay and continue to kill the remaining enemies on the island according to the original plan. Remember, they must be hungry for two days before landing on the island to kill them."
The enemy, now that Baengnyeong Island has fallen, we can no longer continue to encircle the area for reinforcements. Except for the surrendered Koreans who can stay in two days, all construction on the island will require a lot of coolies, and all others will be killed."
Luo Chunlai took the order and left.
Without waiting for Wang Junlin to say anything, Liu Yidong ran over and knelt on one knee in front of Wang Junlin, saying with a face of shame: "Sir, this subordinate neglected his duty and allowed two thousand thieves to hide on Bailing Island without knowing it."
Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "You allowed a hundred of our officers and soldiers to die in vain. You are guilty of dereliction of duty. But now is not the time to hold you accountable for dereliction of duty. Now think about where these people were hiding before."
, and actually managed to hide it from the search of two thousand of you."
Liu Yidong gritted his teeth and said: "I just thought about it, there should be a very large underground cave on this island, otherwise it would be impossible to hide so many people."
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "That's right, tell them to go down and let the people below eat something and take time to rest. You take off four hundred sets of clothes from the corpses of the Goguryeo people, my one hundred guards, and then you choose three
Hundreds of elite soldiers were replaced, and twenty intact Goguryeo warships were selected, and the four hundred men were sent on board. The few officers and soldiers trained previously who knew the Goguryeo language were prepared to be interrogated by the enemy soldiers on Baengnyeong Island."
Liu Yidong's eyes lit up, and he quickly said respectfully: "Your Excellency is wise, and I am humble enough to make arrangements now."
After Liu Yidong was ready, the 400 people took more than 20 Goguryeo warships to leave first, and the remaining 1,700 people took 50 warships, followed by Wang Junlin.
As a result, there were two fleets, one escaping and the other pursuing, sailing towards Baengnyeong Island.
Baengnyeong Island is smaller than Daomi Island, but they are all bedrock islands. Together with Daomi Island and several islands further to the northeast, they are the two larger islands in the east-west island chain in the southern waters of Goguryeo.
At this time, nearly two thousand Goguryeo troops were entrenched on Baeryeong Island. Wang Junlin and his entourage appeared in sight as they chased and escaped. These two thousand Goguryeo troops gathered inside and outside the prison city on Baeryeong Island to prepare.
The ship disguised as the fleeing Goguryeo people specially selected a shallow-draft ship and rushed directly to the beach on the northeast corner of Baengnyeong Island. One hundred masters and three hundred elite soldiers wearing blue and gray uniforms of the Goguryeo Navy officers and soldiers were holding various weapons.
, borrowed a rope ladder to trek to the shallow water to land, adjusted their formation on the beach, spread out in a cone-shaped formation, and attacked the enemy's formation, but shouted loudly: "Dami Island is defeated, the Sui army is coming, hurry up
Go back to the prison city..."
Seeing this situation, the leading general of the Goguryeo army on Bailing Island felt a little suspicious. He wanted to stop the four hundred people from approaching and shouted: "Who is coming? The leader comes out and speaks..."
