Ming Zuo

Chapter 952 New Mingliang Sea Battle

After procrastinating for more than a month, the North Korean navy finally dispatched.

Although everyone from top to bottom was full of resentment, under Liu Lin's coercion, the fleet still left Youshuiying.

Almost at the same time, Bai Dasheng and Liu Lin both learned about each other's information.

At this time, Bai Dasheng had led his army to Dongshan Island, not far from the North Korean Navy.

"If we continue sailing at the current speed, we will encounter the North Korean Navy no later than tomorrow morning. And the location of the encounter will be here..."

After analyzing the intelligence, the combat staff gave the answer.

But seeing the location of the confrontation, almost everyone showed surprise.

Just because this place is so famous.

Mingliang Strait!

What this place means in North Korea is self-evident.

Quan Li was so frightened that he quickly suggested: "General, Duke Zhongwu was here at the beginning and defeated the Dongying Navy with his weak force. Now we are in a similar position to the Dongying Navy, so we must not enter here. so as not to repeat the same mistakes.”

Xia Jun also has detailed information about the Mingliang naval battle.

Although North Korea's performance during the entire Japanese invasion of Imjin was very embarrassing, it has to be said that the Mingliang naval battle commanded by Yi sun-shin was very impressive.

Although this battle did not change the overall war situation, it was one of the few victories for the Koreans.

Especially the case of water warfare is also very scarce here in Xia Kingdom, so in-depth research has been carried out.

Bai Dasheng got down on his knees, staring fixedly at the map, wondering what he was thinking.Beside him, there are piles of various materials.

As long as you have a thorough understanding of these things, it is equivalent to a firm grasp of all the hydrological conditions along the southern coast of North Korea.

At this time, no one can make a decision except himself.

Bai Dasheng recalled the information he had read, and suddenly asked: "Will the water flow in Mingliang Strait really change?"

On this point, Quan Li is very firm.

"The water flow here is very strange. After noon every day, the water flow will change from east to west to west to east. The Dongying people didn't know this at the beginning, so they suffered a lot."

Bai Dasheng nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Although judging from the hydrological situation, we seem to be in a disadvantageous position, but I still decided to eliminate Liu Lin's troops here."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, except for the North Koreans, Xia Jun's generals were all indifferent, just quietly waiting for him to explain in detail.

Bai Dasheng really wasn't a judgment made blindly.

"The sea is vast. Looking for Liu Lin's troops is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, the sea is wide. If the North Korean navy wants to escape after a fight, it is not easy for us to stop it. But in this strait, there are only two passages for entering and exiting." , which will help us catch the turtle in the urn."

The terrain of Mingliang Strait is very peculiar, being wide in the east and narrow in the west.And at the end of the west, there will be a gap less than two hundred meters away.

In fact, Bai Dasheng and the others did not know that it was precisely because of the existence of this opening that the water flow in the Mingliang Strait was deflected after noon every day.

The earth revolves from west to east, so affected by the gravity and inertia of the earth, the sea water in this area will flow westward.But before reaching this entrance, it was like hitting a wall, so it turned back.

In the morning, because the sun is in the east, the temperature and surface of the seawater on the east side of the opening will be higher, and it can flow through the opening and enter the west side.

But in the afternoon, the sun moved to the west, causing the water in the west to heat up and raise the tide.

So the sea water flowing over was pushed back.

Although Li Sunshin observed this change in ocean currents, he didn't understand the principle, but he also used this phenomenon to defeat the Dongying navy.

Although Xia Guo has a scientific observation method, it is obviously not so sophisticated, so he doesn't know the principle.

But from Bai Dasheng's point of view, the adverse effect of the water flow is actually not that big.

The main reason is that the way of naval warfare has changed.

Li Sunchen could use the wooden house boats to impact and destroy the Guan ships of the Dongying people with the help of ocean currents, but Xia Guo's blessing ships were bigger and could not be destroyed at all.

The most important thing is that when the North Korean Navy beat the artillery of the Dongying Navy, it had no advantage in front of the Xia Army.

If it is a wide sea, the North Korean navy is going around guerrilla, and Xia Guo's navy may have a headache.But in such a narrow strait, if the North Korean navy wants to attack, there is only one way to go.

This is no different from a live target in the Xia Guo Navy's firepower network.

And once there is a fight, the North Korean Navy will not be able to attack.Otherwise, they can only wait for Xia Guo's navy to blow up their ships one by one.

And the opening at the western end of the strait, in Bai Dasheng's view, could be put to good use.

He looked at Shang Kexi.

"Give you two Fu Chuan, plus six Haicang Chuan, can you block this hole?"

Shang Kexi lay down on the map, measured the width of the opening with a ruler, and was immediately full of confidence.

"If a ship gets away from here, you fire me."

Bai Dasheng patted him on the shoulder, and solemnly ordered: "This is the first battle on the Linqing, and it should be better."

Shang Kexi naturally understood the meaning of it, and after receiving the order, he led his small team away from the main force and headed south all the way.

He will stick to the south coast of Jindo and go around to the west side of Mingliang Strait, blocking the retreat of the North Korean navy.

This is the biggest difference between the Xia Kingdom Navy and the Korean Navy and Dongying Navy.

Whether it is the Korean navy or the Dongying navy, on the one hand, it is because of the ship, and on the other hand, it is because of the relationship between thinking.

Even water battles must be fought close to the coast and using the terrain formed by land and sea.

To put it bluntly, although they are fighting on the sea, they can only be regarded as offshore naval forces.

Unlike the Xia Kingdom Navy, which has established ocean thinking since its establishment.

During the Mingliang Sea Battle, the Dongying navy rushed into the Mingliang Strait.It never occurred to him to send a partial division around Jindo to attack Yi Sun-shin's rear.

Of course, even if they want to go around, it's not that easy.

After all, the speed of Dongying's Guan ship is too slow, and the day lily will be cold when it bypasses Jindo.

On the other hand, Xia Guo's navy, headed by Linqing, sailed at a high speed with full sails.

In particular, the existence of precise timing tools such as clocks can let the squad know when they must arrive on the battlefield before they can cooperate with the main force.

Xia Jun formulated a strategy of attacking from both sides and acted immediately.

Bai Dasheng led the main fleet to Huayuan Peninsula.

As long as you bypass here, the Mingliang Strait is just around the corner.

　In particular, during the Mingliang naval battle, the Japanese army also outflanked it.

　　This is why Yi sun-shin had to abandon Yousuying and retreat after winning the victory.

　　The outflanking of the Japanese army did not help in combat, but it played a role in the situation.
