Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping Dangzhi County Text Volume Chapter 205 Battle against Goryeo NavyLatest website:......
Guo An, Zhu Di and others who were far away on the ship did not know about this.
Anyway, they approached the Goryeo coastline all the way.
They didn't need to drive them away. When the small fishing boats in the Goryeo sea saw their fleet coming from a distance, they were like seeing demons coming from hell. Their faces were frightened and they ran away like crazy to the shore. In this way, they successfully bypassed Yan'an County, directly entered the Goryeo Inland Sea, and headed towards Goryeo Wangjing.
Guo An and other generals had no objections to Zhu Di's bold behavior.
Each ship has hundreds of fishing nets, more than 200 incendiary bombs, and old-fashioned firearms such as bowl mouth tubes and fire caltrops. They are confident that even if they are surrounded by the Goryeo army, they can fight back and defeat them.
Moreover, the soldiers are very fast, and they also want to rush into the palace of the King of Goryeo without being discovered by the soldiers of the Goryeo Kingdom.
If the king of Goryeo, Wang Jing, is allowed to escape, no matter whether he can capture the king of Goryeo, it will be meaningless.
However, they waited until they had advanced again for half a day.
The beacon fire finally ignited on both sides of Goryeo. At the same time, nearly a hundred warships finally appeared in front of the fleet.
Goryeo had naval forces!
More than a hundred years ago, when the Yuan Dynasty Empire was at its most powerful, the Yuan Dynasty Empire established an ocean-going navy in order to conquer Japan, Annan, Java and other overseas countries.
However, the Yuan Dynasty were all men on horseback, and they were completely unfamiliar with the navy.
Moreover, the Southern Song Dynasty had not yet conquered it.
Therefore, the task of forming a navy fell to the Goryeo Kingdom, the weakling of the Yuan Empire.
Under the orders of the Yuan Empire, Goryeo directly built more than 900 large and small ships. The Yuan army sent 20,000 people, and the Goryeo army and sailors sent more than 10,000 people to directly cross the sea to conquer the Japanese country.
However, the naval coalition formed by the Yuan Empire made two consecutive expeditions to the Japanese Empire, but both ended in failure due to the unsuitable climate and the influence of storms and other weather conditions.
The Yuan Empire withdrew, but the hatred of the Japanese fell on Goryeo.
Fortunately, the Yuan Empire still left some warships and some shipbuilding technology to Korea.
But despite this, after so many years of plunder by the Japanese country, as well as internal fighting and corruption among the powerful people in the Koryo Kingdom, the Koryo Navy was gradually declining.
After hearing that a navy consisting of more than fifty warships was invading, the navy defending Wangjing thirty miles away, as well as the navy stationed on Ganghwa Island, finally reacted and intercepted Zhu Di's fleet at the mouth of the Yecheng River.
.
"Your Highness, the Goryeo Navy has more than sixty ships in total,"
Xu Xiang reported to Zhu Di with a relaxed look.
Zhu Di ordered: "Don't let them get close, burn all their warships!"
Although Choi Mo-seon, the judge of Goryeo, secretly learned the art of gunpowder from Chinese craftsmen, he also set up a fire capital prison in Goryeo.
He even made some firearms and used them to defeat Japanese pirates.
However, compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Goryeo Navy still belonged to the cold weapon period, and even some fire weapons and other firearms were installed on the warships.
The bows of their warships also have a huge metal object built in accordance with their previous combat thinking. They can use this object and gravity to directly crash into enemy ships.
Unfortunately, after the Ming Dynasty had mature firearms, there was no need for this heavy object, and Zhu Di naturally would not allow the Goryeo warships to use this object.
With an order!
The war drums are beating!
The warships of the Ming Dynasty quickly formed a formation. Fortunately, the sea area was very wide and they could move freely.
Some small trebuchets placed on the Ming Dynasty warships directly threw some fishing nets filled with incendiary bombs towards the Goryeo Navy warships opposite.
At the same time, bursts of roaring sounds also sounded from the battleship of Prince Yan's Mansion.
One by one, bowls and tubes were thrown directly at the Goryeo warship coming from the opposite side, like setting off firecrackers.
In an instant.
The bows of more than a dozen Goryeo warships that came up from the opposite river were blown to pieces. At the same time, fires broke out on the hulls. No matter how hard the Goryeo soldiers poured water, they could not be extinguished.
Immediately, the incendiary bombs also ignited some bombs, and the Goryeo warships burst into flames.
Most of the Goryeo soldiers also turned into burning men because of the incendiary bombs, and they all jumped into the water crying and screaming.
When the fire on his body was extinguished, he climbed up again, only to find that his body was on fire again.
Suddenly, these Korean soldiers jumped into the water again and did not dare to come up.
As a result, half of the soldiers and sailors on the Goryeo warship were instantly missing.
The warship had no power, and it was like a child stumbling around. The warships behind it couldn't avoid it for a while, and directly hit it.
The stern of the boat was also damaged.
Then, with the help of the water, these Goryeo warships rushed more than ten steps in front of the Ming Dynasty ship, then slowly stopped and slowly sank into the sea.
However, with the obstruction of these warships, the Goryeo warships behind could not increase their speed and could only be targets for the Ming warships.
Although commanders like Chen Tao, Chen Zhi, and Zhang Xing have never fought in water battles, they are all qualified generals and know how to beat up a drowned dog.
Moreover, although there were more than 60 Goryeo warships, several more than Zhu Di's warships, the warships were not as big as Zhu Di's warships, and their soldiers were not as numerous as the Yanshan Guards.
After several attempts, the Goryeo Navy was directly at a disadvantage.
The Yanshan Guard soldiers were still holding back a ball of anger.
Therefore, no one shows mercy.
Half an hour later.
There were clouds of black smoke rising from the entire broad river. On the water, except for some remnants of warships and the corpses of Korean soldiers, some moving Goryeo warships disappeared without a trace.
