Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 210 Tamra Land Battle ([-])

The naval battle came to an end after sunset.The warships of the Koreans burned five large ships and seven small boats on the sea, and the rest fled back to the shore.Cui Xiushi arranged all the archers on the shore, hoping to keep the remaining warships, but the port of Tamna Island could not allow the large ships of Goryeo to dock, and the range of the bows and arrows was not enough.

Although the Song people were not so vicious that they came to the shore to hunt them down, but they had ballistas that exceeded the range of bows and arrows, and they could hide in a distance and accurately bombard ships parked on the shore.

Originally, the Koryo military officers wanted to bring the ship closer to the shore. The soldiers saw that even if the ship sank, it would not be a problem for people to escape to the shore, so they would have more courage and be able to continue to resist.However, they have been unilaterally bombarded by ballistas, and the flying javelins seem to be invincible. This kind of pressure finally broke the Korean people's will to fight.The sailors dived for their lives and swam to the shore, watching helplessly as the ship was engulfed in flames.

Eventually, the Koryo ship ran a small boat.Seeing that the wind on the sea was getting stronger and it was getting dark, it was very difficult to find a small boat on the sea, so Wang Wanshun fired a few javelins to the shore in a demonstration, and then withdrew his troops and returned to the port.

Cui Xiushi stared at a thick javelin she picked up from the beach and felt terrified.According to reports from the people below, people who were directly hit by this javelin were all broken into pieces, and it could penetrate three or four people with one shot.What would happen if the Song people fired this kind of javelin at their battle queue?
Looking up at the ugly faces of his subordinates, as the chief general, he can only give these people courage, otherwise he will lose his courage, and this battle will be impossible to fight: "We have more people than Song people, and when we fight against them, order your people Rush to the front and fight with them as soon as possible, the weapons of the Song people will not be able to exert their power!"

The method he said can be said to be absolutely correct in theory, and the generals of Goryeo believed that their own forces were absolutely superior-the 4000 infantry basically disembarked before the naval battle, and the navy fled because the ship was burned. There are hundreds of people who have gone ashore, so the land force on the Goryeo side is actually close to [-]. If you add the local soldiers promised by the Star Lord, then the force will be even more dominant-in this case, as long as you rush to the Song Dynasty regardless of casualties If people fight hand-to-hand in front of people, then the Song people's big killer will naturally not be of much use.

Seeing that the officers' confidence had recovered a little bit, Cui Xiushi ordered: "Leave early tomorrow morning. Zhen Chenggui, you are the vanguard! Others follow up, and if they find any traces of the Song people, immediately rush up and surround them."

The Koryo officers replied in unison: "Of order."

At night, the Koryo military camp was busy and quiet until late.There was no way to do it. When the troops were dispatched, they said they wanted to collect food and grass on the spot, and the food on the ship was burned along with the ship. Therefore, Xingzhu and his son had no choice but to order the people under their command to deliver the food to the barracks overnight.The surplus food in the hands of the Tamra people was bought by the Song people, and the rest were inedible things such as cloth, and there were so few people, it was really difficult to support an army of thousands of dollars at once, so it was very difficult to collect food alone. Worked all night.Otherwise, Li Buqi was very careful when he moved to Tamluo.

The next morning, the Koryo army was in a hurry again, and then they lined up to the Song control area in the west.Not far from the door, I saw a dozen cavalry scattered on a high ground in front.The officers in front immediately sounded the alarm, and sent a detachment of soldiers to drive the cavalry away.But instead of running away, those cavalrymen got off their horses.

This time the Korean people came to the spirit: Do you want to fight hand-to-hand?The Koreans have a large number of people here, but they are not afraid of hand-to-hand combat.Thinking of getting some credit for beheading the Song people, the Koreans couldn't help but speed up their running.

Just watch those dismounted cavalry take down the longbows on their bodies and start to bend their bows and set arrows.Then, there was a burst of screams and screams in the Korean team.The Koreans with shields quickly raised their shields, and some Korean archers stopped to fight back.

The cavalry of the Song Dynasty was still unhurried, shooting arrow after arrow, from throwing to flat shooting, and then whistled, put their bows on their backs, mounted their horses, and ran away.

The Koreans saw that the Song people were running far away, so they had to stop chasing them out of breath—the Song people rode tall horses, and they couldn't catch up with two legs.

Before these Koreans could catch their breath, a thorny problem came before them.The Song cavalry didn't run away, but stopped an arrow away and stood there lazily, even waving their hands.This is disgusting.Then should they continue to expel these cavalry, or should they wait in place for the follow-up troops?
In the end, the Koryo officer who led the team decided to continue to drive the Song cavalry out of sight, and led the soldiers to catch up again.

After entering the bow and arrow range, the Song cavalry began to throw arrows again.When the Goryeos approached and the bows and arrows needed to be shot flat, the Song cavalry mounted their horses and ran away.

Now the Koreans are embarrassed, and they don't have the heart to chase them anymore.But the Song cavalry saw that the Koreans were not coming, so they led the horses and moved forward a little, and then shot with bows and arrows again.

The Koreans also had bows and arrows.But one is that the bows and arrows of Goryeo are simple, not as far away as Song bows, and the other is that the cavalry of the Song Dynasty stood sparsely, and there were three directions. Unlike the Koryo people who were crowded together, it was difficult to shoot from a distance.So the Koreans are aggrieved!
At the same time, Jin Chenggui, who was continuing to march on a Tamna pony, suddenly saw dozens of cavalry on Tamna pony coming out of the woods from the left wing.He quickly ordered the team to pay attention to vigilance, and the archers were ready.

But these cavalry did not enter the bow and arrow range of the Koreans. Instead, they dismounted a hundred steps away, lined up in two rows, and then lifted something.

Zhen Chenggui was wondering, when he heard a swishing sound from above his head, knowing something was wrong, he quickly called the shield hand to cover it.Before some shield players had time to raise their shields, someone let out a heart-piercing scream.Zhen Chenggui saw with his own eyes that a private soldier of his was knocked to the ground as if he had been hit by a hammer, and his helmet was rotten.

Zhen Chenggui was also from aristocratic background. With some knowledge, he probably guessed what kind of weapon it was: "Crossbow arrows? People in Song Dynasty have crossbow arrows?"

The squadron was beating and kicking to make the panicked soldiers move quickly, and the shieldmen spread out in front of the queue to protect other soldiers.But when the second round of arrow rain came, even the shieldman was shot down.

You can't fight back if you get beaten at this distance.Zhen Chenggui knew that his soldiers would collapse if this continued, so he quickly ordered the two teams to rush over.But the Song people still fired their crossbow arrows unhurriedly, and waited until the Koryo people rushed to the distance of an arrow, then they rode on pony horses and ran away.But these crossbowmen did not run away, but walked towards the direction of the Koryo army, which caused panic in the Koryo rear team.

Zhen Chenggui got off his horse and came to the side of the shot person to have a look, and couldn't help but suck his teeth.Some of the short arrows pierced through the human body, which shows how powerful they are.An unlucky team was shot in the head, and the arrow not only broke the helmet, but also pierced the hard skull, leaving only half the length.

Zhen Chenggui was in a cold sweat: I don't know how many such powerful crossbows the Song people had, and how many people would die?
Then he got a report that the people sent to drive out the Song people's scouts in front had been driven back, and the advance had to be stopped completely.
