Rise of Another World: I Have an Empire System

Goryeo, Jeolla, Jindo.

Myongryang Strait is a narrow strait between Jindo County, Goryeo Province and Haenam County, Jeolla Province.The strait is about 290 meters wide, which is similar to the width of the Han River.The water in the strait is turbulent, and the direction of the water flow reverses every few hours.During the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, Admiral Yi Sun-shin, the commander of the three naval forces of Goryeo Province, took advantage of the special geographical features of the Myeongryang Strait to repel more than 330 Japanese warships with [-] wooden house ships, thus creating a milestone in the history of world naval warfare. Miracle.It is known as the "Great Victory of Mingliang" in history.

It can be seen that the Myeongryang Strait, which is sandwiched between Jindo and the mainland of Korea, has complex hydrology and rugged rocks. It is not actually a very perfect place for fighting!Many foreign ships often run aground and sink due to unfamiliarity with the terrain and the complex and changeable hydrology of the sea area!

The Myeongryang Sea Battle that took place in [-] is the best proof. General Yi Sun-shin was ordered to do so at the critical moment. He only had more than a dozen wooden warships left after repeated defeats, and dozens of civilian ships to renovate. Boat!However, relying on their familiarity with the terrain and hydrology, Goryeo Jeolla Province Yousuying, which was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, managed to complete a comeback under extremely unfavorable circumstances!Although they did not have much strategic impact on the Japanese invaders led by Todo Takatora and Kato Yoshiaki, they dealt a heavy blow to the latter tactically, making the arrogant latter no longer dare to underestimate them. Goryeo Navy!

Therefore, it is for this reason that Kanglin and Chiyang's top management set the ambush battlefield at Myeongryang Strait!As the art of war goes, take the enemy by surprise and attack him unprepared!The Koreans pride themselves on being very familiar with their country's geography. They believe that the Myeongryang Sea has complex hydrology and rugged rocks. Enemy forces would not dare to enter hastily before they have a clear understanding of the local conditions!But Chiyang insisted on doing the opposite for them, setting up an ambush where they least expected it, and catching them off guard!

In order to achieve this combat goal, Kanglin and Chiyang senior officials not only led the fleet to the preset battlefield one day in advance to prepare for war, but also immediately dispatched fast bird ships and centipede ships to Jindo County and surrounding waters to reconnoiter military information. !Among them, the First Infantry Division led by General Zheng Nansheng has successfully occupied the Biwa Camp in the southeast of the island, and has set up five or six large-caliber cannons on the hill there. As soon as the battle starts, they will Able to fire cannons from a high position to bombard Goryeo ships on the sea!

As for the navy, while the fast bird boats and centipede boats were searching the surrounding waters, they also did not forget to put down a large number of sampans and rowing boats, carrying capable sailors to measure the hydrological conditions near Zhendao!Although the Chiyang Navy's current equipment of rushing ships, old lock ships, small Galen ships, military rice boats, and various types of lucky ships are far more advanced than the Japanese warships during the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, the Myeongryang Strait is complicated. Shuiwen made Kanglin and Chiyang's senior executives not dare to take any chances!

After all, most of the various types of warships currently equipped by Chiyang are large-tonnage sea-going ships with pointed bottoms, rather than the flat-bottomed, square-sterned, large-coffin-shaped wooden house ships of the Goryeo navy!Therefore, before entering this sea area where the currents are unpredictable and rocks are scattered randomly, you need to send someone to measure the water depth in advance and identify the reef areas that may threaten your fleet!

Otherwise, once the battle officially begins, our warships will rashly sail into this complex hydrological area, and they will most likely run aground, or even sink!And this is not what Kang Lin, who is currently in urgent need of a large number of warships to strengthen his power, wants to see!As a result, there were a large number of rowing boats carrying capable navy troops, and sampans were dropped by the fleet like dumplings, and began to operate in this sea area!At the same time, some elite flag troops were dispatched by Chiyang's high-level officials to set up a large number of observation posts on the hills in the north and northeast of Jindao County!Whenever the situation at sea changes, immediately let out smoke to alert the fleet that the enemy has arrived!

"My lord, look at the lookout post on the top of the mountain in the north. There is a big plume of wolf smoke coming out there! Wait for someone to click on it. One, two, three, four, it's his mother's fault! My lord, it seems that he is an old man. Here comes the main force of the Goryeo navy..."

There are elite flag troops on the top of the mountain overlooking the sky, and there are light bird boats cruising in the sea. Chiyang's early warning mechanism is neither rigorous nor comprehensive!Therefore, when Yuan Doupiao, Liu Lin, Zhang Huaiyi and others commanded the main force of the crusade navy to approach the sea area of ​​​​Jindao, a warning post on the mountain lit up the smoke to alert their leaders and senior officials!At the same time, two fast bird ships cruising outside also returned, bringing more detailed information to the former!

So the next moment, under the command of the blaring horn and golden gong, the blessing ship formation and the warship formation of the Chiyang Expedition Fleet immediately began intense preparations for war. A large number of strong sailors and handymen were at their respective captains. Amid the shouts of the officers and leaders, they struggled to pull up the heavy four-claw iron anchor and raised the huge hard sail. Some guys with rowing skills even took out large oars to help the ships under their feet increase the speed!

It should be noted that ships at this time were no better than those of later generations. To increase the speed, you not only needed sails, but sometimes you also needed the help of oars and oars!Especially in sea areas with complex hydrology, without the help of oars and oars, you need to use rowing boats, sampans and other small boats to drag forward in order to slowly increase the speed!At the moment, Chiyang's rowing boats and sampans are scattered around to perform hydrographic survey work, and there is no time to return to tow the big ship for a while!So, the sailors and handymen who were proud of their strength took out long pennies at the command of the bosses, and the wooden oars began to help the ship speed up!A stick of incense, just a stick of incense, Chiyang's dozens of large and small blessing ships, old lock ships, Galen ships and military rice boats, with the full cooperation of everyone, sailed away from the temporary anchorage and greeted fiercely. Boarding the still ignorant Won Doo-pyo fleet!Today, they will use those thick-skinned Korean wooden house ships and auxiliary ships to test the power of their new warships and new artillery!

The black smoke rising into the sky, the strange and fast-moving sailboat, and the suffocating silence in the surrounding sea!All of this is telling the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army and the Observer of Jeolla Road, Elder Won Do-pyo, that a huge change has occurred in the sea ahead!Therefore, for the sake of safety, this famous official of the Injo Dynasty immediately began to order the ships under his command to shrink their formation and increase their alert!

In his opinion, the current situation is unclear, and it is better to be cautious in everything, so as not to capsize in the gutter and ruin his reputation as a second-class Jingshe hero!So the next moment, according to his instructions, most of the warships with firearms in the fleet began to sail together to increase their speed. They tried to weave a tight protective circle around the fleet to cover those with deeper drafts and The weakly defended auxiliary ship passed through the Myeongryang Strait safely!

You know, there are a large number of infantry landlubbers who are not familiar with water at the moment. If they are suddenly attacked, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed!And this is not what the upper echelons of the crusade army who want to preserve their strength and make achievements want to see!Therefore, as the flag bearers on the admiral's ship continued to wave their flags, the artillerymen on the wooden house ships immediately began to load the artillery in a hurry. They were all Jianghua naval forces defending Hanyang, the capital, so they had no chance to see the Red Army. The artillery of the Yangshui Army is powerful. Now that they saw several strange ships, both large and small, daring to jump wildly in front of them, these guys who were sitting in the well and watching the sky immediately began to gear up, preparing to use the blunderbuss on their own ships to teach these people a lesson. Help the thieves and sailors who don’t know how high the sky is!

"Immediately order the Fuchuan formation to speed up and rush ahead of us to stop the Korean coffin ships. As for the warship formation, let them slow down a little. They are our trump card. They must be You have to go into battle at the most critical moment, but don’t use it right away, or scare the guts out of those Korean sticks! Hahaha!”

Looking at the shadowy shadows in the distance, a large fleet composed of dozens of warships and auxiliary ships was heading toward their own waters. Chiyang's senior officials couldn't help but perked up. After waiting for such a long time, Goryeo led by Yuan Doupiao The main force of the crusade is finally here!So, after a period of intensive preparations, the Fu Ship formation commanded by Lin Wu and Wu Fang immediately accelerated their speed, began to break away from the fleet, and faced the Goryeo Navy head-on!

Their combat goal is to use the old artillery such as the Fo Lang machine and the Ye Gong Divine Gun equipped on their own ships to confuse and contain the main force of the navy of the Goryeo Crusade Army, making the latter mistakenly believe that the ships owned by the main force of the Chiyang fleet are still the ships they are familiar with. Boats, bird boats, and then the rush boats, old lock boats, meter boats, and even galen boats make a strong appearance at critical moments, creating valuable opportunities!After all, the Koreans are not country bumpkins who have never seen the market. They have also followed the father of the Ming Dynasty for a period of time. I was so scared that I shrank back again!And this is not what the scheming guys at the top of Chiyang want to see!Therefore, they adopted a strategy of showing weakness to the enemy, hoping to confuse and paralyze the opponent with the Chinese-style military ships that the Koreans were familiar with, and then invest in rushing ships, old lock ships, rice boats, and Galen ships at critical moments. The cutting-edge warship is the final word, and the victory is completely established!

"Ye Gong's magic gun, aim at the waterline of the enemy ship and keep firing; Folangji, aim at the deck of the enemy ship and fire volleys! Remember, your mission is to kill a large number of sailors and gunners on the deck of the enemy ship, we Don’t get your ship too close to those Korean coffin ships, lest those coffins die with us when they are at their wits end..."

Just do it. When the distance between the two sides was successfully shortened to a few hundred meters, Lin Wu, the leader of the Chiyang Fuchuan formation, and Wu Fang, the deputy leader of the formation, immediately issued the order to attack to their capable artillerymen. !The next moment, as deafening explosions continued to sound, eight or nine fortune ships of different sizes sprayed out thick smoke, long cannon flames, and dozens of extremely hot cannonballs!
