It wasn't until the Goguryeo fleet sailed out of the Xingjiao shallow sea on a large scale that Shen Guoer found the opportunity to send a warning to Wang Junlin with the white-bellied sea eagle.
Almost at the same time, the sentry ship sent by Wang Junlin also discovered the enemy's situation.
The sentry ship is a specially designed mother ship. When it detects an enemy situation, it lights the beacon on the mother ship and sends out a warning signal to separate the child ship from the mother ship. The scouts and sentinels can quickly escape on the child ship.
After confirming that Goguryeo had indeed attacked the nearby Baengnyeong Island first, Wang Junlin and his side dispatched 2,000 of the 3,000 navy troops on Daimi Island, led by Luo Chunlai, heading north from Daimi Island harbor and then westward to intercept the crossing. The coming Goguryeo navy first faced the wind and then went against the current. When they arrived at the waters north of Baengnyeong Island, they stopped the Goguryeo navy and a large number of troop transport ships just over 30 miles north of Baengnyeong Island.
The Goguryeo people were obviously prepared for this scene. Ten thousand naval forces rushed towards two thousand naval forces like crazy, in order to cover the civilian ships transporting 20,000 infantry troops to Baengnyeong Island.
Facts have proved that in sea battles, the size and strength of warships are very different. When one side has powerful long-range attack capabilities and the other side can only fight head-on, it is like ten thousand rabbits meeting two thousand eagles. Although occasionally a rabbit would kick an eagle to death, it could not change the overall battlefield situation.
In just half an hour, Goguryeo's 10,000 naval forces collapsed, most of the ships were destroyed, and the remaining more than 3,000 naval forces desperately fled to Baengnyeong Island in warships.
But within half an hour, most of Goguryeo's 20,000 infantry troops had landed on Baengnyeong Island. Considering that there were only 3,000 people on Baengnyeong Island, Wang Junlin did not plan to hold the beach and allow the Goguryeo people to board the island. island.
Wang Junlin, who personally led the two thousand navy from Dai Mi Island, decisively gave up on the frightened more than 3,000 navy, and instead led the remaining more than 1,700 navy to rush towards the last more than 5,000 ships. The infantry's civilian ships easily destroyed them on the sea.
In this battle, which lasted for more than half an hour, Goguryeo lost more than 7,000 naval troops and more than 5,000 infantry troops. In the end, about 3,000 naval troops and nearly 15,000 infantry troops landed on Baengnyeong Island.
Calculated in this way, the Goguryeo troops still have the upper hand. Wang Junlin has 3,000 men on Baeryeong Island, but there are less than 2,000 men on the sea. The strength of the two sides is about three to one.
Baengnyeong Island, the largest island in later Korea, covers an area of 53 square kilometers. There are several peaks on the island with an altitude of more than 200 meters, the highest of which is more than 400 meters. It is summer, and the mountains are covered with dense vegetation. In the sea breeze Under the blowing of the wind, there were waves of green waves.
The coast in the north of the island is mostly rocky, and there is a large flat area in the northwest. The area is not large. The plan is to cultivate farmland here. In fact, tens of thousands of acres of farmland have been reclaimed.
Hundreds of Goguryeo craftsmen were cutting down trees on the mountainside, surrounded by many tents. Even Wang Junlin didn't know that the man leading the 20,000 Goguryeo infantry was actually Yeongae Somun.
Yeon Gae Suwen stood on a hill and looked worriedly at a group of fishing boats docked. Some fishing boats had a small sail, and some were rowed entirely by manpower. A group of infantrymen got off the fishing boats cursing, and some As soon as people got off the boat, they lay on the ground and stopped moving. They had to rely on other companions to lift them up before they could walk.
The infantry is different from the navy. Most of them faint as soon as they get on the boat, and their combat effectiveness is greatly damaged after landing. When crossing the sea, the navy lost two-thirds and the infantry lost a quarter, while the opponent suffered very little losses, so although
They successfully landed 15,000 infantrymen and 3,000 naval officers and soldiers on Baengnyeong Island, but Yeon Gae So-moon looked heavy and did not dare to immediately order an attack on Baengnyeong Island, which was rebuilt on the basis of the original prison city.
The city and the two castles on both sides.
However, in Yeon Gaesumun's opinion, as long as they break the newly built city, they will win this battle.
Cui Shengjun next to him also had a worried look on his face. This time he was given an important task, commanding 10,000 navy troops, but he was defeated miserably in just half an hour. Now he is worried about being liquidated by Prime Minister Yeon Gaesumun. Standing behind Cui Shengjun is a man.
A handsome soldier who is inseparable from Cui Shengjun.
At this time, they heard bursts of exclamations from the other side of the mountain, and then many armored soldiers at the foot of the mountain ran to various highlands. The two looked at each other and hurried back to the top of the mountain, where more than a dozen armored soldiers were heading northwest.
Fang pointed and yelled, and Yeon Gaesumun looked in the direction of their fingers and opened his mouth slightly.
There was a dense mass of sails on the sea in the distance. It was the navy that defeated them. They had just seen the opponent stop and they didn't want to rush over now.
Cui Shengjun was shocked when he saw this scene. He remembered the long-range attack capability of the opponent's navy warship and quickly shouted: "Get away from the seaside quickly and run inside."
The Goguryeo soldiers who had just landed on the island and had a narrow escape and were carrying food, ordnance and other items from the ship were like an exploding beehive, leaving everything behind and running towards the center of the island.
Wang Junlin stood on the bow of a large ship with thousands of stones. Including his ship, there were nearly fifty ships lined up in a line, and the catapults on each ship had already started ejecting.
Countless rocks the size of an adult's head smashed into clouds of stone debris on the coast of Baengnyeong Island. The Goguryeo soldiers on the shore fled further, and some who fled slowly were directly killed. Although this wave of projectiles
Only dozens of people were killed, but the screams were so loud that they frightened the Goguryeo people a lot. They thought they would be safe after landing on the island, but they didn't want the opponent's catapult to attack so far away.
At this time, Wang Junlin was on the Wanshi ship. Du Haiwa, the best naval officer trained by Nie Xiaoyu in navigation skills and who had been promoted to captain, was pointing the scale at the place where the crowd was the densest.
Estimate the distance.
The scale board he used was also made by Nie Xiaoyu. It is a square board with twelve scales engraved on both sides. There is a pendant in the opposite corner of the two sides. This scale board is in the Wangjunlin Water System.
There are no more than twenty people among the generals and divisions who have learned how to use it. Among them, Du Haiwa is the most skilled in learning and the most precise in operation.
Du Haiwa stood upright on the bow of the ship, placed the plank in front of her eyes, followed the top edge of the plank with her eyes, and aimed at the Goguryeo army on the beach of Baengnyeong Island in the distance. The square plank now had a
At an inclined angle, the pendant forms an angle with the side close to Du Haiwa, and a small triangle is separated on this side. This triangle is the key to the distance measurement of the scale. Du Haiwa's own height and the target in the distance are
For a large triangle, the small triangle formed by the degree plates is a similar triangle to the large triangle.
Du Haiwa quickly measured the length of the diagonal sides, calculated the ratio based on her own height, and then used her own scale board to calculate the distance to the target in proportion.
