The Goguryeo people had more than a hundred warships in the outer harbor. Facing the first wave of attack array led by Wang Junlin, although the number of warships was superior, their size and attack power were at a huge disadvantage.
Before they could even dock, the Goguryeo people were attacked frantically by fifty long-range crossbows and fifty catapults.
When they got closer, short-range crossbows and clay pots filled with kerosene came one after another. By the time they reached the port, the hundreds of warships of the Goguryeo people in the outer harbor had been defeated and fled in panic.
There were more Goguryeo warships in the inner harbor.
The inner harbor is surrounded by long promontories branching out from the coastal hills. The inner and outer harbors are more than 200 paces wide. Originally, in order to turn around, the Goguryeo people collided several ships into a ball and blocked the port, causing the Goguryeo people to fight later.
The boat can't even get out.
Wang Junlin saw the situation clearly with sharp eyes, and directly let go of several Goguryeo warships that were fleeing in panic in the outer harbor, blocked the inner harbor, mobilized a thousand-stone warships that were good at near-side combat, and rushed in from the harbor to completely capture the trapped people.
All Goguryeo naval forces in the port were wiped out.
There are still about 3,000 Goguryeo people who have landed on the island, but Wang Junlin led fifty warships to arrive too fast, and they were entangled by Liu Yidong's men. They were unable to help in the fierce battle at sea. They watched their own navy being beaten.
Defeated, the Goguryeo troops on the shore knew that they could not capture Daami Island, so they gave up the attack, retreated, and withdrew their troops deeper into the island, joining up with the remaining troops led by Li Chengkun on the island...
Half an hour later, the fighting near the port of Daami Island ended completely. More than 1,500 Goguryeo people died and more than 400 people surrendered.
At this time, in the depths of Dami Island, after the two waves of Goguryeo people merged, there were no less than 7,000 people. Compared with the nearly 4,000 people stationed in Wang Junlin's two islands, they still had an absolute advantage in military strength. However, these Goguryeo people had an absolute advantage in their strength.
Lu Zhan obviously didn't have much confidence. After fighting in close combat and realizing that he was far from Wang Junlin's opponent, he just ran away.
Wang Junlin and others landed on Dami Island from Changjiao, Outer Harbor, and Luo Chunlai hurried over to see him.
Luo Chunlai's right arm was wounded, which shows that the fight just now was extremely dangerous. If they had not arrived in time, they destroyed all the warships that came to aid the Goguryeo Navy with overwhelming force, and wiped out nearly half of the Goguryeo Navy that was still on board.
The more than 2,000 Goguryeo naval forces on the island were worried about being surrounded from two sides, so they fled at the first opportunity. This battle, under Luo Chunlai's command, was under attack from both inside and outside, and it was likely to be a disaster.
The next battle became very simple again. Wang Junlin ordered all warships, whether his own or the enemy's, to be concentrated at or near the port. First of all, it eliminated the possibility of all the Goguryeo people on the island escaping. As for using the trees on the island,
For shipbuilding, firstly, the Goguryeo people did not carry any tools, and secondly, they were only naval officers and soldiers, not shipbuilders, so they really did not have this ability.
Therefore, the method to deal with the more than 7,000 Goguryeo people deep in Daami Island is the same as before: starve them for a few days, and then go to the island to hunt them.
"Give me the order to start digging defense fortifications in front of all the warships at the port. After all, the Goguryeo people are not idiots and will launch a counterattack on the port soon." Wang Junlin directly issued the order after listening to Luo Chunlai's report.
Sure enough, just after Wang Junlin's side built a defensive position, the Goguryeo outpost appeared.
Obviously, the Goguryeo people also thought of Wang Junlin's idea. After the two groups of Goguryeo remnant soldiers merged, they launched a counterattack at the port, trying to seize the warship and escape, and even relied on their superior strength to turn defeat into victory.
…
…
DaMi Island looks extremely beautiful under the afterglow of the setting sun, but Li Chengkun is not in the mood to appreciate the dusk beauty of DaMi Island.
It has been two hours since he led more than 7,000 people to attack the small defensive position in front of the port. Apart from leaving more than 800 corpses behind, no significant progress has been made yet.
As a last resort, Li Chengkun found a high place on a hillside to watch the battle, trying to find out whether the defense formation was weak or weak.
The Sui people's long-range attacks were too powerful, and their melee combat was extremely fierce. Li Chengkun couldn't attack with force. He specially selected elites to attack several times, but he still couldn't break through.
An attack had just been repelled here. Li Chengkun watched the battle for a moment and saw the elite attackers retreating dejectedly. He impatiently grabbed the saber in his hand.
It was getting dark, and there was still no hope of capturing the port position. Several generals responsible for organizing the attack came over to ask for instructions if they should withdraw their troops to rest deep in the island and resume the attack tomorrow.
"There is still some time to attack again." Li Chengkun looked up at the sky and ordered: "We can't do it without attacking! The food we have on us will be gone after today. How much energy will we have left if we are hungry tomorrow?
You go up in person and gather all the officers and soldiers together, their combat effectiveness will be stronger..."
Before Li Chengkun could finish his words, Wang Junlin and his party suddenly removed the obstacles in front of the defensive position, and the soldiers who originally defended the position came out with swords and shields.
Li Chengkun stood on the hillside and could see many Sui people swarming behind the position, waiting to leave.
This abnormality immediately attracted his attention. He picked up his sword and rushed forward, loudly reminding the generals: "The Sui people are going to fight out of position! Send the order and let everyone be ready for a decisive battle. Those who are resting behind
Come quickly, all the people with crossbows are concentrated on the left wing, and there are also large shields on both wings, so as to lure them out as much as possible..."
Since this was the last forceful attack before dark, it was necessary to increase the intensity. The Goguryeo people attacked with a thousand people, and the formation was relatively crowded. The five or six thousand people who were resting behind hurried here.
In short, the Goguryeo people did not expect Wang Junlin's side to choose a position to counterattack at this time. They had to adjust their formation hastily, which would inevitably lead to even more chaos.
Li Chengkun looked at the chaotic situation of his officers and soldiers, and his face suddenly became ugly. He realized that it was not a good thing for the opponent to come out of the position to counterattack at this time. He looked worriedly at the dozen or so people who were all placed sideways at the port behind the position at an unknown time.
A warship suddenly thought of a doubtful point. It sent chills down my spine, and my face suddenly turned pale. I shouted an order: "Hurry up and defend, don't fight in waves!"
Li Chengkun guessed that Wang Junlin and his party wanted to take the opportunity to counterattack by taking the opportunity to catch them off guard. However, they had been holding back for most of the day and were looking forward to the opportunity of such a large-scale hand-to-hand encounter. They wanted to take advantage of their military strength to counterattack those who came out of position.
The Sui people entangled them and dragged them out. As long as there was a certain gap, they could send another team of elites through to seize the camp gate warship.
Unfortunately, there was a harsh sound of breaking through the air from the dozen warships, and then more than twenty boulders the size of an adult's head roared across the Sui people's position and smashed into the battle formation they had just organized.
