One Piece of Song Dynasty

When Tuo Junjing heard what the messenger said, he was so trembling that he almost fell to the ground: "It's all over now. Order the ships approaching the fire ship to push the fire ship out as much as possible. When the fire ship is far away, send a small boat to rescue the floating ship on the sea." of our soldiers.”

Zheng Keyong said: "Marshal is going to sacrifice the ships approaching the fire ship."

Tuo Junjing lowered his head and said: "That's all we can do now, just save as many ships as we can, otherwise the main force of our navy will be burned down. Fortunately, the wind is not strong today, otherwise it will really be all over." ."

Ruan Xiaoqi looked at it with a telescope and said: "Lord, the enemy ships approaching the fire ship are pushing the fire ship out with all their strength."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, I also saw it. It seems that the enemy commander is not stupid. He knows that a strong man has broken his wrist. General Seven, please send a boat down first to rescue those Korean soldiers floating on the sea. These people will be ours in the future." Goryeo’s bargaining chip.”

Ruan Xiaoqi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord, I will make arrangements now."

The fire lasted until noon, and then it was far away from the remaining Goryeo fleet in Yecheng Port. Because of the huge fire, it also alerted the Goryeo court in the capital. Many high-ranking officials came to the dock to watch, and even Wang Ma also came to Leseong. port.

According to Li Xin's observation, this fire burned about half of the ships of Goryeo's expedition fleet. In addition, the ships in the middle were destroyed by Li Xin's fleet, and there were only more than a hundred ships left in the Goryeo fleet.

Li Xin saw that it was almost done, so he ordered the fleet to cross the fire ships and attack the remaining Korean fleet in Licheng Port.

The messenger came to report: "Commander, the fire ship has moved away from our fleet, but the enemy has also passed through the fire ship and attacked our fleet."

Tuo Junjing said angrily: "These thieves went too far and ordered the fleet to fight back. They also sent out fire ships and small boats to engage in close combat with the enemy fleet. If you can set fire, I can too."

The ordering soldier cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Commander."

Ruan Xiaoqi saw the Korean fleet releasing fire ships and small boats, and ordered: "All five-pound cannons are aimed at the enemy's fire ships and small boats. Don't let them get close to our ships."

Due to the containment of part of the firepower of Li Xin's fleet by fire ships and small boats, the impact on the remaining Goryeo fleet was weakened, but even so, the ships of the Goryeo fleet were still being damaged or destroyed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Li Xin looked at the fighting situation between the two sides and said: "Seven generals, order the fleet to put down all the boats. The artillery hit is too low on the boats. We should use boats against boats and leave five hundred sailors to guard the prisoners. Let the fleet Send out the remaining sailors, the infantry troops brought by X, and the water ghost team."

Ruan Xiaoqi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord."

As the small boats of Li Xin's fleet attacked, the offensive of the Goryeo fleet was contained, and the intensity of the attack of the Li Xin fleet returned, and soon more and more Goryeo ships were destroyed.

Tuo Junjing collapsed on the boat and said, "It's all over now."

The messenger came to report: "Commander, because the enemy fleet has also released small boats, our fleet's offensive has been contained, and the enemy's fleet's offensive has strengthened, and our fleet can hardly withstand it. "

Tuo Junjing said feebly: "Order all the soldiers to abandon the ship. The ship cannot be saved, so just save your life."

At this time, Zheng Keyong, who was the supervisor, was so scared that he sat on the ground and even wet his pants. Tuo Junjing looked at Zheng Keyong and shook his head and said: "You guys help the supervisor off the boat."

As Tuo Junjing gave the order to abandon ship, the Goryeo fleet, which was about to be unable to hold it, instantly collapsed, and everyone scrambled to escape.

Li Xin saw this and said excitedly: "General Seven, order the fleet to quickly sink all enemy ships and capture as many prisoners as possible, but do not get close to the enemy's dock."

Ruan Xiaoqi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord."

In this way, Li Xin's fleet completely destroyed the remaining ships of the Goryeo fleet in front of Goryeo officials and Wang Ma, and arrested Goryeo soldiers wantonly at sea. Wang Ma was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted when he saw this scene. The people next to him saw When Wang Ma fainted, he quickly took him back to Kaijing City.

Seeing that the battlefield was almost cleaned, Ruan Xiaoqi said: "My lord, it's almost done. The ship we brought will no longer be able to hold it, and the enemy's ships will also be destroyed."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, please withdraw all our people. The fleet will bombard Licheng Port and we will go back after destroying Licheng Port."

Ruan Xiaoqi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord."

Li Xin asked: "General Gao, how do you feel about this battle?"

Gao Shuo replied: "It's shocking. The imperial navy was defeated by the leader in one battle. From then on, Jeju Island can be without war for at least two years."

Li Xin said: "General Gao only thinks that Jeju Island can be without war for two years, and I want to ensure that Jeju Island will never be occupied by Goryeo again."

Gao Shuo asked: "Then I don't know what the leader is planning to do next."

Li Xin asked: "What does General Gao think?"

Gao Shuo said: "The imperial court will definitely send someone to negotiate with the leader. I don't know how the leader plans to negotiate with the imperial court."

Li Xin nodded and said: "We must talk about it. In fact, Jeju Island was snatched by Korea from the Tamna people, so someone can also snatch Jeju Island away from Korea. It is definitely impossible to return Jeju Island to Korea." , the captives can return part of it to Gao Li, but Gao Li needs to exchange it with something."

Gao Shuo asked: "If the court does not agree, what will the leader do?"

Li Xin asked: "What does General Gao think he will do?"

Gao Shuo thought for a while and said: "The leader will not land and occupy the territory of Goryeo."

Li Xin waved his hand and said: "That's not the case. I am still self-aware. I am not interested in other Goryeo territories, but only in Jeju Island."

Gao Shuo nodded and said: "Then I think the leader will block the imperial court's coastal areas with water. If the imperial court wants to build ships, it can choose to build them on the seaside. If the imperial court builds a ship, the leader can destroy one. As long as the imperial fleet cannot get up, the leader will You can just sit back and relax.”

Li Xin said: "Yes, you are right. In addition, blocking the coastal areas of Goryeo can also interrupt Goryeo's sea trade. I guess there are many merchants doing sea trade in Goryeo, and Goryeo also collects taxes." Well, cutting off a major source of tax revenue for Goryeo will definitely allow some people within Goryeo to put pressure on the Goryeo court."

Gao Shuo said thoughtfully: "That's true. The leader is really thoughtful and has thought of everything."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Haha, otherwise how dare you deal with the Goryeo court? After all, Goryeo is a country, and I am just a pirate leader now."

Li Xin's fleet bombarded the Licheng Port dock for several rounds until it turned Licheng Port into rubble. During this period, the Korean army on land wanted to fight back, but they did not have weapons with a far enough range and could only watch from the side. Nothing can be done.
