...

"There is thunder on the island!"

"Shouldn't they be attacked?"

"What should we do? Shall we pull the anchor away from this port of Incheon?"

"Look! There are a lot of ships, one, two, three, and there are only dozens of [-] stone ships. This must be the Song State Navy. I will quickly pull out the anchor and stay away from this Incheon Port. Don't be blocked by the Song State Navy. !"

"Quick! Pull out the anchor!"

"There are people in the water, the Song army is going to dig a boat!"

"Boom boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Mu Laoya, Underwater Dragon King Cannon, and the submarine thunderbolt newly developed by Liu Huiniang (install one or several ropes on the mine and let it float horizontally on the water surface. When the enemy ship is sailing, hang these ropes, and the triggering fuze will be pulled. Cause an explosion and destroy the enemy ship.), Liang Shanshui army took out all their stocks and started the first battle of this naval battle.

Because I didn’t expect a naval battle in advance (there was almost no precedent for a naval battle before this), and I didn’t expect that the enemy who invaded Tamna County would have so many ships, let alone the enemy who invaded Tamna County. There will be so many advanced weapons that they never thought about, so that the large and small ships of Goryeo are close together-this will make it much more convenient for the Goryeo army camped at sea. It’s almost the same, but I don’t know if it’s because the conditions don’t allow it, or because Wu Yanchong has heard the story of burning the boats. springboard.

But even so, the Korean boats gathered together were tragic.

After the explosion, hundreds of ships showed signs of sinking one after another.

Many Goryeo sailors who had been bombed jumped out of the boat and escaped.

Some of these Korean sailors were drowned, some were killed by bombing, and only a small part swam to Jeju Island and were captured by Liangshan soldiers and civilians shortly thereafter.

Many cool-headed Korean sailors organized to push the sunken ship to run aground on Jeju Island. Although it could not avoid being captured, it could save the lives of a whole boat.

However, although the navy took out all the advanced weapons, and many outstanding Liang Shanshui soldiers even risked their lives to blow up the ship, many Korean ships escaped from the port of Incheon.

No way, Goryeo dispatched 32 large ships with a load of [-] shi this time, nearly [-] large ships with a load of [-] shi, and five or six hundred small and medium ships with a load of less than [-] shi. The scale is really too large.

Faced with this situation, no one has any other choice but to fight a real naval battle, that is, a chase battle.

The process is not repeated.

Liangshan's ships are generally fast, and there are many. In addition, they are equipped with forward weapons such as unscrupulous cannons, bed crossbows, and trebuchets. Occasionally, a few Goryeo ships escaped, but they were all intercepted or sunk by the three-masted ships mooring Liangshan.

All in all, this largest naval battle so far ended with the complete victory of Shuibo Liangshan and the annihilation of the entire Korean navy.

……

Its daybreak.

The two sides have invested a total of nearly 15 (more than [-] if you count Liangshan's civilian husbands) soldiers and horses. The Koryo soldiers who are still resisting will be wiped out.

As for the trifles of searching for the Goryeo soldiers who were scattered on the island during the chaos, Wang Lun and the others took care of them, so Li Yan didn't have to worry about these trivial matters.

The overall situation has been decided, and the main generals from all walks of life will gather together to report the results of the battle to Li Yan.

Lu Zhishen was the first to report, "Brother, our troops wiped out the Koryo army in Lishui, killed 140 and eight people, and captured 880 people, one of whom was the deputy marshal Wu Yanchong in this battle."

Li Yanchong Pei Xuandao: "I will check it later, and then I will reward you for your merits."

Pei Xuan replied, "Yes, brother."

Li Jun then reported: "Brother, we wiped out the Koryo navy, killed 530 and five people, and captured 340 people. The rest of the navy either drowned in the sea and could not find their bodies, or followed the soldiers stationed on the pier. The infantry fled into the island together. We captured 29 large ships with a load of 230 shi, 77 three large ships with a load of [-] shi, and [-] small and medium ships with a load of less than [-] shi. Most of these ships needed repairs. Small half can be used directly."

Li Yan said to Pei Xuan again: "I will check it later, and then I will reward you for your merits."

Pei Xuan replied again: "Okay, brother."

Zhu Wudao: "Brother, the results of our war there are a bit messy. We haven't fully counted them this year. By the time my younger brother left, more than 2 people had been captured, including more than 200 infantry and more than 100 horse pawns." People, and the rest are civilian husbands composed of slaves and servants, and 240 horses were captured, of which only 210 were usable, and the rest could only be used for breeding or food."

Although he felt sorry for those good horses, Li Yan didn't regret blowing up all the horses.

Li Yan asked: "How about those servant brothers in Korea, have you arranged for them to have dinner?"

Zhu Wudao: "It's arranged. According to what my brother said, all the soldiers in Korea will be hungry, and they will only provide good wine and meat to the slaves and servants. But... I am a little puzzled, why did my brother do this?"

Li Yandao: "The slaves and maidservants in Goryeo have no personal freedom. They can be bought, sold, gifted and inherited. Private slaves and maidservants do not even have household registration, but are appended to the household registration of the master, and generally only have a first name, not a surname. A good man thinks that if a lowly class is allowed to turn into a good man, it is possible to enter the official career through the imperial examination and other channels, occupy an important position, and commit a crime of conspiracy. Intermarriage, although in fact there are cases of intermarriage of good and bad, but most of them are the cases of good men and maidservants marrying, and there are few cases of the opposite, and no matter what the case is, their children are regarded as low. "Said, "The law of a small country is that in its eighth generation household registration, it does not work as a lowly class, and then it becomes an official. Anyone who is a lowly class is like a father or a mother, and if one is cheap, the other is cheap." That is to say, one of the parents is a slave , the children will also be slaves.”

Qiao Daoqing stalked Li Yan and said, "Brother is really knowledgeable."

Li Yandao: "It's not that I'm knowledgeable, but that I'm willing to learn. Brother Li Jishen told me these things."

Li Jishen immediately smiled when he heard Li Yan say his name.

Li Yanchong nodded at Li Jishen, and said: "At first I didn't want to attack the capital of Koryo, because it was very unrealistic and the possibility of success was very low. It is our duty to rescue the Korean slaves who are in dire straits and let them have all the rights that normal people should enjoy..."

Wang Lun, Sun Jing, Zhu Wu, Qiao Daoqing and others were all extremely intelligent people. When they heard Li Yan's words, their eyes lit up immediately, and they said in unison: "This will happen!"

Originally, their Liangshan army's attack on Goryeo was a war of aggression, and they would face resistance from all of Goryeo. However, once Li Yan's slogan came out, the war of aggression would become a war of liberation, and Li Yan's identity would immediately change from aggression to The former became a great savior. At that time, all slaves will regard Li Yan as hope, as a savior, and then follow Li Yan wholeheartedly, in order to change the fate of them and their descendants. It is said that the ratio of slaves to lovers in Goryeo Three, that is to say, a quarter of the Koreans will stand firmly on their side, and their number will be far greater than those of the nobles. With them, how can this battle be invincible?

Everyone cast their eyes on Li Yan!

PS: Calvin is gone.

In fact, I didn’t have Calvin at first, and I had a lot of wonderful war plots in my mind, but the response to these chapters was really mediocre, and subscriptions didn’t work. I reflected on myself, maybe everyone didn’t like the wars I designed, so I just Accelerate, hurry up and get over this, and then think of some better plots. In short, try to present something interesting to everyone.

So, let’s not add more updates today.
