On the dark sea, waves hit the edge of the warship, causing the warship to sway with the waves.
The swaying battleship made a creaking sound, some waves splashed onto the deck, and the strong sea breeze made the Ming war flag on the observation deck rattle.
The quiet sea water was illuminated by the faint light emitted by the warships. A warship composed of hundreds of warships on the sea followed the faint light at the front, moving forward silently like a giant beast in the abyss.
Phew, the cold and wet sea breeze blew by, and the deck shook violently again.
On the bow of the boat, countless men wearing armor stared straight ahead, trying hard to identify the outline of the shore.
The navy of the Ming Dynasty was marching towards the coast of Goryeo overnight.
Old man! Go back to the cabin and rest!
Wang Jinglue, Vice Admiral of the Jing Navy, said to Tang He who was holding on to the railing, "It's windy outside. You go back and have a rest. We juniors will keep an eye on us and we won't cause any trouble!"
Tang Henian's old face was full of fatigue, and he said tiredly, "No, fighting across the sea, I really can't worry about it!" After saying that, he pulled down his robe that was ruffled by the sea breeze, "How far is it from Goryeo?"
According to what the sailor said, it should be there soon! Wang Jinglue said.
In this expedition against Goryeo, the Ming Dynasty not only sent out all its elite naval forces, but also recruited many sailors familiar with the sea lanes along the coast to serve as guides for the army.
The clipper sent ahead has not returned with the message? Tang He frowned again and asked.
Wang Jinglue looked at the dark sea and shook his head. But then, his eyes showed deep surprise, and he pointed to the distant sea, the looming lights, our pathfinding clipper!
In an instant, everyone on the bow was in high spirits.
Gradually, the faint lights merged with the huge fleet of ships on the sea. The people on the ship boarded the flagship of the Ming Navy.
In the cabin, Tang He looked at the sailors who were drinking hot soup and were covered with moisture. He asked anxiously, but we are almost arriving in Korea? Where are the navy of Korea? Have they ever noticed it?
Old man! The sailor wiped his mouth and said excitedly. We can reach Korea at dawn. Their navy is parked at the port. Are they sleeping to death? The villain is afraid of being discovered by them, so he sneaks through the water with others.
, there is not even a dog in the port of Goryeo!
Suddenly, Tang He was overjoyed, but then he said in disbelief, Gao Li, how come you are not prepared at all?
Old man, your concern will lead to chaos! Wang Jingliu smiled and said, since ancient times, how could anyone launch a navy to cross the sea to destroy a country? Can the Koreans think of it? Not to mention that the Koreans can’t think of it. Even when the emperor’s grandson issued the decree, at the end of the
Everyone thought it was a fantasy!
It would be better for the Koreans to be unprepared. Let’s just catch them off guard! Another navy vice-admiral also spoke excitedly and rushed directly into their port, burned the Korean warships, and occupied the city on the seaside. With the two or thirty thousand of us, how can we
Go directly to their capital!
This is a great achievement for approaching the enemy's capital. Who can not be inspired!
Tang He's turbid eyes became extremely clear, and he said, "Send the order, prepare for battle!" Directly crash into the Korean harbor, anyone who blocks it will die! As he spoke, he loudly encouraged morale, and told the men that after landing, the gold collected
I won't take any of the silver or other items, I will give them all!
Well! In the cabin, the response was like thunder.

The golden sun, as soon as it jumped out of the blue water, emitted thousands of rays of rays of light. The sea and sky were one color, refreshing and beautiful.
The sun rises, and the day's work is about to begin. The hard-working fishermen have boarded their fishing boats and untied the reins, hoping to have a good harvest today.
A few lazy Korean sailors were awakened by the noise on the coast, and came out of the parked warships cursing. They walked to the deck, unbuttoned their pants, and faced the blue water, which was a yellow soup.
Later, the sleepy-eyed Goryeo navy looked at the healthy-skinned fishermen girls on the passing fishing boats, proudly swinging their trousers, with dirty faces on their faces.
If the Ming Dynasty hadn't invaded Goryeo, these navy troops would actually have slept on the shore. But even sleeping on the battleships was just a matter of honor. The Ming Dynasty was thousands of miles away from here, so how could they have come from the sea.
Unless the people of Ming Dynasty are crazy!
Wait to go to the shore and eat some seafood and tofu soup! A Korean sailor stretched on the deck and said to his companions that the food on the ship was simply not for human consumption. The rice was all rancid!
Go buy some more dog meat and save it for drinking in the evening! Another Goryeo navy soldier has a daydream look on his face.
But after waiting for a long time, his companion didn't speak. He turned around and looked in surprise, his mouth opened wide, and he turned to stone.
On the sea, mountains of warships were charging forward on the waves. In sight, there were huge ships with sun and moon flags hanging on them. Those mountains of warships were charging so fast, as if they were rushing like lightning.
A Korean fishing boat was unable to dodge and was crushed into pieces. The fishermen on the boat struggled in vain on the sea for a few times before being sucked into the whirlpool of the big boat and never seen again.
Ming... Ming...
The two Korean soldiers tried their best to shout, but found that they couldn't make any sound.
The navy of the Ming Dynasty is attacked by the enemy!
In the harbor, warning gongs and drums sounded suddenly when encountering an enemy. The fishermen fled in all directions and began to run towards the low city on the shore. The confused Koryo navy was busy controlling the warships and adjusting the sails.
But they couldn't move faster than the Ming army's warships. In the blink of an eye, the dark warships were already overtaking them.
Hit it! Tang He gave the order on the flagship to fire first!
Bang bang bang, there was a huge explosion on the sea, and the blue water was suddenly surrounded by white smoke.
The artillery on the several warships leading by the Jing Navy opened fire in unison. The gunners did not aim at all, but relied on intuition and began to bombard the Koryo Navy warships in the harbor.
Amidst the explosion, the waves surged like boiling hot water in an iron pot. The sail masts of the anchored Korean warships were smashed off from time to time, and wood chips were scattered across the sea under the impact of projectiles.
The front was shelling, and the rear was filled with warriors in armor, ready to jump ship to fight.
Get a grip!
Wang Jinglue was on the front boat, grabbing the string of the boat and shouting loudly.
With a bang, a warship crashed directly into the Goryeo harbor, directly smashing a Goryeo warship into two pieces.
Follow me! Kill!
Just after he stabilized his body on the warship, Wang Jinglue shouted loudly with two swords in his hands, and then jumped to the bow of the opponent's ship first, killing a Korean soldier who had just climbed up with one blow.
In an instant, countless Ming tigers swarmed onto the Korean warships, and fought desperately in small groups.
On the other side, the bombarding gunboats stopped attacking the Korean navy. They lay across the sea and began to cover the shore with indiscriminate firepower.
On the deck, the Ming army's gunners were shirtless, firing as fast as they could, seeking to unleash their firepower on the Korean land.
At this moment, more than a dozen warships rushed directly to the shore. The Ming naval forces with weapons in hand jumped directly into the waist-high water and moved forward ferociously.
Within a few breaths, Goryeo's harbor turned into a sea of fire, and Goryeo naval forces kept screaming and falling in the sea of fire.
The battle situation was smoother than Tang He expected.
Don't worry about the shore first and capture the city directly! Tang He shouted an order from the flagship.
On the high ground by the coast, there was a small city only ten feet high. The city was crowded with people who wanted to escape. However, the Korean soldiers guarding the city not only refused to let them go, but instead used their weapons to kill the people who wanted to enter the city.
Amid the curses and cries of the people, the city gate was closed and heavily locked by the Korean soldiers.
Why did the Ming army come? What to do? What to do?
The city guard, supported by several followers, stood on the city wall in fear and at a loss. At this time, he felt that he had no strength at all, his legs were weak and he could not stand.
Take up arms and stand on the wall!
The garrison officers in the small town were brave. They drew their sabers and shouted at the top of the city, commanding the panicked soldiers, "Don't panic, the crossbowmen must gather here..."
However, with a whoosh, an arrow suddenly shot into the neck of the Korean guard who was shouting. The huge impact caused him to fly out sideways, and fell to the ground with his eyes open.
Under the city wall of the small town, a tall and burly Ming Army Qianhu threw his bow and drew his sword, and shouted in Shandong accent, "Brothers, follow my ass and climb up!"
In the conquest of Goryeo, the navy not only had the Jing navy, but also the Shandong Dusi, a navy that was good at fighting Japanese pirates.
Whoosh whoosh, countless ropes with iron hooks were hung directly under the low city wall.
This kind of iron hook was specially used to hook the city wall. Once the rope was hooked and straightened, the defenders could only lean out on the city wall and cut the rope with a knife.
However, under the city wall, there were countless Ming army archers waiting for the Koreans to show up.
Amidst the rain of arrows, the Ming navy soldiers climbed up with swords in their mouths using their hands and feet. The Korean soldiers at the top of the city would be shot off the city wall as soon as they showed their heads.
kill!
Thousands of navy troops from Shandong Dusi appeared at the top of the city with their burly bodies, sweeping their sabers in their hands, and they were instantly wiped out. As soon as he stood still, more Ming troops swarmed in from the gap behind him.
Brothers, hurry up! Don't let those Shandong guys take all the credit!
Seeing that Shandong Dusi had already boarded the city, the officers of the Jing Navy shouted anxiously.
Brothers, follow me and kill!
At the top of the city, the Shandong Qianhu swordsman danced like a windmill. The soldiers who climbed onto the city rushed along the city wall platform from top to bottom, and soon they arrived at the gate of the city.
rise!
Several strong men from the Ming army chopped down the defenders, carried the huge door bolt on their shoulders, and pushed the city gate open a gap.
Outside the door, Ming troops poured in like a tide in an instant.
