Chapter 656 Pyongyang Beacon Fire
The name of 黑来 had different meanings in ancient times.
The Yu River in the Former Qin Dynasty was today's Yalu River, which was the division between Yan State and Jizi Korea. During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han established four counties in Korea, and the Yu River was extended to the Qingchuan River today. The Yu River became one of the nine counties in Lelang.
Today, the Xishui River refers to the Datong River Basin. Since the North Korean regime came into power, the Datong River Basin has been the political and cultural center of the peninsula. Today, a leader on the peninsula proposed the advanced concept that the Datong River is the fifth largest civilization in the world.
After a night of storm, the sea surface is now drizzling. At present, the entrance of the Datong River is almost covered with warships. The Zhao army warships seem to be moving castles, with pole-pitch beds on both sides of the ship. In front of the fleet are countless ships and light ships.
Because of the infusion of the sea water at the estuary, the blue-black sea turned white, and the river water was clearly divided, and the heavy rain had just stopped at this time. The fog on the sea surface was hazy. Because of the heavy rain before, the water was calm and there was no ship visible. Obviously, the boats in Goguryeo were sheltering from the harbor. There was silence around, and the people of Goguryeo did not notice anything about the fleet of Zhao Jun who suddenly came to the door.
Li Chongjiu stood on the deck, and his robe was beaten by the wind. He looked at the entrance of the water from afar and said to the naval general Cheng Mingzhen: "Goguryeo knows nothing about the arrival of our army. This is our opportunity. Now I order you to go upstream and enter the water to find the Goguryeo naval army. If you attack the port unexpectedly, you will not let a ship go."
"No, Your Majesty." Cheng Mingzhen agreed loudly.
Looking at the water, Li Chongjiu said with great gaze: "The battle to avenge shame is today! Avenge the 300,000 robes trapped in Liaodong that year!"
"revenge!"
Cheng Mingzhen led hundreds of flat-bottomed warships, leaving Li Chongjiu's main fleet, entering the water and raising the water. The waves at the mouth of the water river were slammed. From a distance, one after another of Zhao's warships were like moving city walls, and the masts on the ship gathered like forests.
At this moment, the Zhao army fleet boarded the territory of Goguryeo.
Not long after, the pilot ship in front discovered the Goguryeo port. Cheng Mingzhen immediately ordered the Zhao army fleet to form a crane wing formation. Cheng Mingzhen's intention of posing the crane wing formation was to wipe out the Goguryeo fleet at the port, and he could not let anyone go as far as Li Chongjiu's orders were carried out.
The post at the port was in the rain and fog, and the Zhao army warships were found. The first moment they sounded the alarm bell. The first reaction of the Goguryeo people was that the Silla warships were attacking. In fact, there were indeed many Silla warships in the Zhao army fleet.
Dangdang!
The whistle made a hasty warning sound of the enemy's attack. Then a loud howling sound came. The whistle instantly blew and was collapsed by the stone thrower on the Zhao army's warship.
Zhao Jun was the first to win the favor and slapped the Goguryeo people in the face.
In the Wushui Harbor, hundreds of Goguryeo fishing boats and warships were moored in one place. Now, when the enemy attacked, the harbor was like a hornet's nest was blown up. Various ships were crowded together, and warships and civilian ships were congested in one place and could not move forward or retreat.
When Cheng Mingzhen saw this scene, he laughed and immediately ordered a fleet attack.
After the Zhao army's large ship entered the port, the huge ship immediately blocked the entry and exit of the port. The Goguryeo Navy's warships were very low and were not as good as the Zhao army's large ship. But they knew that if the port was blocked by the Zhao army's large ship, they would have the fate of being completely wiped out in the port.
So when the Goguryeo navy saw the Zhao army warships blocking the port, they reacted, and all the warships rushed towards the Zhao army warships like a small hill.
The Goguryeo warship was like a arrow from the bow, and the Goguryeo sailors were struggling to row small stones. The pointed and long warship unique to the Goguryeo people flew quickly like centipedes with countless feet. Bang! Bang! Pads everywhere hit the water splashes on the water surface and splashed high.
The Goguryeo naval soldiers rushed to fight. They rushed to the bow of the ship, and bundles of arrows were piled on the deck. The Goguryeo people were good at shooting. They also took bows and arrows first. On both sides of the deck of the Goguryeo warship, there were Goguryeo naval soldiers wearing white turbans and trousers on their heads.
After approaching, they picked up the bow and crossbow, raised the forty-five degrees of angle, and shot it desperately on the Zhao army warship. At this time, the drum beats of the rear formation sounded pounding, and accompanied by the rapid drum sound, the Goguryeo people's arrows were flying. The crossbow cannons on the larger warships also opened fire and attacked the Zhao army warships. The Goguryeo Navy's offensive was still very rapid. In an instant, small stones were thrown, and the crossbow arrows were sieve down at the ten large Zhao army ships entering the port like rain.
Arrows kept coming, and the sound of breaking through the air was mixed with the slang of Goguryeo people.
However, in addition to the crossbow, Goguryeo's bows and arrows hit the triple-fold plates covered with cowhide outside the ship, but it was like itchy. The throwing stones hit the cladding plates mostly slipped into the water. Even if the crossbow, if the cladding plates are farther, it cannot penetrate the cabin made of solid wood by Zhao Jun.
What's more, the Zhao army's large ships have waterproof cabin designs, and even if some of the hulls are damaged, the ships will not sink. In fact, Goguryeo does not pay attention to the navy. After all, the small crossbows and stone throwers carried on the small boats are simply incomparable to those of the crossbows and stone throwers on the large boats.
However, what is strange is that the Zhao army ship endured Goguryeo's crossbow, but did not fight back. Standing on both sides of the ship's side, the Zhao army soldiers next to the crossbow were as if they were arranged. There were only oars extending from the lower sides of the deck on the entire Zhao army warship, and they paddled quickly.
The big ship rushed towards the Goguryeo attack, but plunged into the harbor and rushed into the Goguryeo formation.
Although the Goguryeo Fleet did not know the intention of the Zhao army, it would not let the other party get so close to its own ship formation. However, when the Goguryeo warships approached the Zhao army warships, they obviously had the intention to prepare for a gang fight.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Mingzhen sneered on his face and cursed him for dying. As expected, he saw the Zhao army's warship smashing the rods and smashing them down, and the approaching Goguryeo warship destroyed several ships in a row.
In an instant, the Zhao army warships had penetrated into the formation of the Goguryeo warships. At this time, the crossbows on both sides of the strings of the Zhao army warships were shooting at the Goguryeo fleet under the ship!
The narrow warship's hull was sterned and more than a dozen crossbows arranged, and they were unscrupulously flying towards the Goguryeo ships on both sides.
This is a full firepower strike. The Zhao army warship relied on its strong hull to penetrate deep into the heart of the Goguryeo Fleet, and then used a full-strength attack to bloom in full bloom. All the Goguryeo warships were almost covered within the range of the Zhao army's crossbow machine, and the crossbow arrows were easily penetrated, and the thin hull of the Goguryeo warships was.
The Goguryeo soldiers standing on the deck were suppressed by the crossbowmen of Zhao army above the bow of the ship, and were shot one after another into the water like dumplings. On the mast, on the shipboard, and on the deck, the Zhao army's crossbows were covered with arrows, and the Goguryeo soldiers were either nailed to the ship or shot down the ship.
Several Goguryeo ships near the Zhao army warship were even directly stabbed by crossbow machines, and they flipped over the sea and sank to the bottom of the water.
At this time, the stone throwers on the Zhao army warship began to name the Goguryeo warship one by one. Huge rocks flew past in the chili, smashing the Goguryeo warship into the water.
A pool of blood mist was stirred up on the water surface, and the water was instantly stained with blood.
"When you kill, there can't be a Goguryeo boat floating on the water!"
After Cheng Mingzhen gave the order, Zhao's fleet sailed into the harbor and blocked the fish that had escaped. The Goguryeo fleet that was tempted to break through the encirclement was sunk on the river.
The Zhao army not only intercepted the warships, but also further expanded the results of the battle. After approaching the shore, the stones and crossbows on the bow swept the buildings of the Goguryeo Army on the shore. The houses were smashed one by one by one, and the arrows of the crossbows easily cut off the Goguryeo soldiers who tried to counterattack the Zhao army with bows and arrows.
Seeing that most of the Goguryeo warships were sunk, the Zhao army warships began to sail into the port. The marching fast ships loaded with Zhao soldiers cleared out the Goguryeo soldiers who fell into the water while landing. In just half an hour, the port called Nanpu, the entrance to the sea of the Wushui River was captured.
At the port of Nanpu, the beacons on the five or six beacons have been extinguished, but the beacons are still igniting on the beacons in the distance.
Large swaths of war were burning, pointing to the direction of Pyongyang City.
