Chapter 1796 Zhanchan Naval Battle

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The battle started in the morning.

    At this time, it was just dawning, and a layer of light mist appeared above the sea.  At a glance, in the chaos, a ferocious shadow loomed.

    Because the Baekje people controlled the command, and coupled with the light fog on the sea, the Baekje people were not very vigilant on the sea surface.

    Until the Sui army broke through the outer defense line, the Baekje people who occupied Changang had not yet discovered it.

    The Sui army approached about five miles outside Chanchan Port. Huang Mingjun ordered the Chinese army to release 20 small boats, carrying saltpeter and dry reeds, and pounced directly on the Baekje people in the harbor.

    Using fire ships to burn big ships has always been the first choice of the navy to defeat the big with small ones, and it is also the first choice of tactics of the Chinese navy.  Historically, the Ming Dynasty used this tactic to defeat Spain's advanced artillery warships.

    The sailors on the fireboat drove the fireboat towards the Baekje people, heading straight into the harbor.  About two miles from the port, the fire on the steamship was lit.

    The Baekje people in the watchtower in the port also saw the fire ship.  He was shocked and kept shouting loudly.  Warning and threatening on the one hand, and warning on the other.

    But it¡¯s of no use.

    The fire ship moved forward rapidly, like a rapidly advancing fire dragon, crashing into the harbor at high speed.  The leading fire boat rushed straight towards the big ships in the harbor and hit a big ship hard. He himself was shattered to pieces, but the big ship was also set on fire.

    More than twenty fire boats are more than twenty fire dragons.  It broke into the port one after another. In a short period of time, the entire port was filled with thick smoke.

    Guoxin is a self-disciplined person who gets up early in the morning to do exercises.

    However, Guoxin can only strictly demand itself. Since the ship stopped at the port, countless officers and soldiers have landed and are no longer in their original positions.  Guoxin also knew about this situation, but this was the tradition of the navy. Guoxin was not a person who could break the tradition, so he let this situation go.

    The Sui army's ability to quickly break through the Baekje defenses was directly related to the fact that a large number of Baekje Navy officials were not in Hong Kong.

    Seeing the attack on the port, although they didn¡¯t know who the enemy was, Guoxin responded quickly.

    Seeing the number of enemy ships, he knew that they were outnumbered, so he immediately ordered the navy to break out without delay.  And ordered the ships that were on fire in the port to break out first, and those that were not on fire to follow behind to prevent the enemy from raiding.

    I have to say that Guoxin¡¯s breakout strategy is very effective.  Fire is a double-edged sword. Although the Sui army had the advantage, they did not dare to rush to fight the enemy's burning ships.

    Soon, Baekje ships broke through the Sui army's first-level blockade.

    Upon seeing this, Huang Mingjun immediately ordered the fleet carrying out the first-level blockade to spread out and attack the enemy forces behind.  The second level of blockade ships engaged the enemy ships.

    The navy under Huang Mingjun used flags when the visibility was good and drums to convey messages when there was heavy fog. There were more than 20 large drums placed on the deck of his flagship. When the order was given, the entire sea was filled with the sound of "Broken Array".  .

    The ships in the second line of the Sui army were all huge ships with ramming horns. The front and sides were covered with iron sheets and cowhide, so they were not afraid of fire.  So he quickly rushed towards the enemy ship.

    When the two sides collided, it was a thunderous blow. The Baekje ship that was on fire could not withstand the impact and disintegrated directly on the sea.

    This blow, as powerful as a thunderbolt, hit the hearts of the Baekje people hard.  They had seen large warships, but never such a terrifying warship.

    Soon Baekje warships became frightened, and some even chose to turn around.

    Guoxin felt a little numb when he saw it from behind. The strength of the Sui army exceeded his imagination.  At this time, the mist on the sea gradually dispersed, and the "Sui" flag flying in the wind on the Sui army's main ship was particularly dazzling.

    Guoxin knows that at this time, he is fighting with momentum. Once the momentum is lost, the battle will also be lost.

    Therefore, Guoxin ordered the largest warship "Yishan" in the army as the vanguard to tear open the Sui army's defense line.  Now the whole battlefield is in chaos. From Guoxin's point of view, the Baekje people can go as far as they can.  He let the "Yishan" be the vanguard and open the way. He also hoped that the "Yishan" could break out before the Sui army completely closed the encirclement.

    "Iksan" is the mainstay of Baekje Navy. The warship is named after Iksan, where King Buyeo Jang of Baekje originally sold potatoes.  There are three hundred people on the boat, and the captain is more than ten feet long. It has always been invincible on the sea.

    The "Iksan" came rushing to the ground, and a Sui ship quickly hit it. However, the "Iksan" was so big that it even shook twice, but nothing happened.

    At this time, the "Yishan" was also running at full power, pushing forward against the opponent. The Sui ship was unprepared for a moment, and the "Yishan" scratched the hull on the side. The cabin was flooded, and it lost its combat effectiveness.

    This blow from the "Iksan" shook the morale of the Baekje people who were fighting among themselves. Now that the battle has been fought, a glimmer of hope is finally seen.

    ?Standing in the command module, Huang Mingjun¡¯s face didn¡¯t change much.  He has experienced more than ten naval battles, large and small. This enemy force is very difficult to deal with, but it is just difficult to deal with.

    Seeing the "Yishan" being aggressive at sea, Huang Mingjun's ship "Zhenhai" immediately pulled up the racket in front of the ship and approached the opponent.  The racket is a water warfare weapon invented by Yang Su. It uses the kinetic energy gained when a heavy object falls from a height to smash enemy boats approaching one's own warships. It once collapsed the Ezhou city wall in one fell swoop.

    Because the racket pole is too large and affects the speed of the ship, only large ships like the "Zhenhai" of the Sui Navy can carry large racket poles.

    "Zhenhai" is twenty-four feet long, more than four feet high, and has 500 soldiers. It is a giant on the sea.

    "Iksan" and "Jinhae" met. The originally huge "Iksan" was like a little brother compared to the other party.

    "Yishan" also found that it seemed that it could not match the enemy, so it wanted to speed up and break through the Sui army's blockade.

    The two sides were far apart, and the "Zhenhai" raised its heavy racket stick.  When the two ships intersected, the racket pole on the "Zhenhai" hit the other side heavily.  The racket hit the bow of the "Iksan" hard, and the deck of the "Iksan" was immediately shattered as if being torn apart by a giant.

    "Iksan" also moved forward too fast. More than half of the front ship was broken, and the front and rear weights were unbalanced. It immediately fell down and was about to sink.

    Seeing this horrific sight, the Baekje people were stunned and almost collapsed.

    In their view, the "Yishan" was invincible, but now it could not withstand a single blow from the Sui army.

    Guoxin had been in the command module of the "Iksan". He also fell into the water after the "Iksan" was hit.  At this time, the Baekje people who had not yet fallen into the water in the second half of the boat immediately rescued them, but Guoxin refused.

    The silence of the "Iksan" destroyed the hopes of the Baekje people and destroyed all the confidence of Guoxin. He also knew that the outcome of this battle was irreversible.

    " Guoxin is a man of loyalty and integrity. At this moment, he is defeated and his troops are lost. The only way left is to serve the country with his own life."

    Looking at the billowing smoke on the sea and the Sui warships raging everywhere, Guoxin burst into tears and couldn't help himself, my Baekje!  Looking back at the motherland that could not be seen in the south, Guoxin closed his eyes in tears and sank deeply into the sea.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
