Chapter 533: Comprehensive Advantage
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The soldiers of the palace walked in neat steps and stopped to shoot every time they walked a distance.
In the chaotic Goryeo army, a large number of soldiers kept falling.
The explosion in the air just now had frightened them.
Now, they were even more terrified.
The sticks in the hands of these pirates were as terrible as explosive things.
Once there was a loud noise and flames, they would take their lives.
"Witchcraft." "I don't want to die!" "Run for your lives."
The Goryeo soldiers fled north like crazy.
Choi Se-hun was wrapped in the fleeing Goryeo soldiers, and he didn't even look back, and he also ran for his life.
When he came to Huang Zhen, he grabbed Huang Zhen's horse and shouted: "General, these pirates have terrible weapons, let's retreat back to Nampo City!"
Although Huang Zhen was suppressing them from behind, he also saw the fireballs and white smoke in the air.
Looking at the terrified fleeing soldiers, and then looking at Choi Se-hun, he suddenly became uneasy.
Just thinking that his own troops were numerous, while the enemy seemed to have few people, he forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart and said, "Coward, this is the land of Goryeo, how can you be afraid of a group of pirates."
After that, he said to the deputy general beside him, "The whole army moves forward and kills these pirates."
After saying yes, the deputy general asked the messenger to pass down the order to attack.
More than 10,000 Goryeo soldiers immediately formed a formation in a semicircle, surrounding the entire dock.
But despite following orders, the Goryeo soldiers were worried.
They naturally saw the fear in the eyes of the scattered soldiers.
This kind of fear is like encountering ghosts in the dark.
"Not bad, still a little courageous."
On the dock, Bai Shang looked at the approaching Goryeo soldiers and said lightly.
The ones who just fought with them were the defenders on the dock.
And this army was the army coming from the north to support.
Compared to defeating the garrison at the dock, he hoped to defeat this reinforcement, so that they would be easier to take Nampo City.
"General, six field guns have been sent ashore."
When Bai Shang was fighting with the Goryeo army, the small boats on the warships were not idle, constantly transporting soldiers back and forth.
They also lifted the lightest six-jin field gun from the warship to the largest small boat and let the soldiers transport it ashore.
"Okay, let the artillery go to the two wings immediately, and the soldiers who come up later keep up with the team. We are going to Nampo City to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks." Bai Shang shouted.
The generals and soldiers were immediately excited.
Over the years, Goryeo has been robbing their fishermen, and now they can finally fight back.
"Boom boom boom..."
The soldiers of both sides kept approaching, and when they were three hundred meters away, the mortars fired shrapnel again.
Lime bombs and buckshot kept exploding above the heads of the Goryeo soldiers.
At the same time, the six field guns that had just landed stuffed grapeshot into the barrel.
A burst of gunfire, grapeshot flew out of the cannonballs, turned into a rain of bullets and flew towards the Goryeo army formation, and immediately more than a dozen Goryeo soldiers fell down screaming.
Huang Zhen's face turned pale instantly.
He finally understood why Choi Se-hun's soldiers collapsed so quickly.
Because under this attack, his soldiers also collapsed.
The soldiers in front shouted and kept running back, their faces full of fear.
At this time, he realized that Choi Se-hun's words were right.
So he immediately ordered: "Retreat to Nampo City."
After that, he rode his horse towards Nampo City.
The Goryeo army collapsed as soon as it was touched, and such a scene made Bai Shang stunned for a long time.
Then he shook his head.
In fact, it is not surprising that the Goryeo army would have such a situation.
After all, the royal army relied on plate armor to fight against the Northern Di at the beginning, and then used artillery to fight against the Northern Di. Later, Jinzhou used flintlock rifles to fight Xiliang.
It was not until the Northern Expedition that these three types of weapons were gathered to fight against the Northern Di.
But even so, before that, the Northern Di had seen artillery and had artillery themselves.
Facing firearms, they had a certain psychological resistance.
And when they fought against Goryeo for the first time, they gathered their most powerful firearms.
It would be strange if the Goryeo army could hold on.
Looking at the Goryeo army fleeing south, he said to the generals, "Search the docks and transport all the useful things back to the warships."
There are a lot of goods piled up at this Nampo dock.
They came to rob, so they naturally cannot waste them.
While waiting for the follow-up soldiers to land, they can do this.
Another hour passed.
All 8,000 soldiers landed.
Their mortars also increased to 30, and the six-jin field guns also reached 12.
"General, the goods on the dock have been counted. We found 8,000 stones of grain, 1,000 pieces of cloth, and 2,000 jars of wine. In addition, there are more than 6,000 kilograms of raw silk, more than 2,000 pieces of porcelain, and 800 kilograms of tea..." Bai Shang's deputy general Ding Chang reported what he found.
Bai Shang smiled with satisfaction, "Leave 500 soldiers to transport the goods, and the rest of the soldiers will follow me to Nampo City!"
He knew his advantage very well, that is, to rely on the mobility at sea to suddenly gather a large number of troops at a certain location to attack the enemy.
Goryeo still has 300,000 troops nationwide.
But these troops were scattered all over Goryeo and could not be gathered in a short time.
So, on average, their troops often had an advantage at the landing site.
Nampo was an important town, so there were so many soldiers guarding it.
If it was other cities, there would probably be only two to three thousand people, or even more than a thousand.
In this way, they not only crushed in weapons, but also in manpower.
And when Goryeo sent troops over, they had already robbed and left.
This time, they wanted to use this method to force Goryeo to do business with their Black Shark Company.
After receiving his order, the generals led the soldiers to Nanpu City.
This Nanpu City is only about ten miles away from the dock.
In less than half an hour, they arrived at the foot of Nanpu City.
Looking at the top of the city, Bai Shang found that the Goryeo soldiers on the city wall looked at them in fear.
With a cold smile, Bai Shang ordered the soldiers to push the field artillery and mortars to the front.
At the same time, 500 heavy infantry came to the front and waited.
After another half an hour, a soldier brought the ladder over.
This was made by the trees they had just cut down.
However, Bai Shang was not going to use the ladder to attack the city.
In front of Nanpu City, there was a moat about ten meters long.
He planned to put the ladder directly across the moat as a floating bridge.
Everything was ready.
Bai Shang gave the order to attack, and the mortars were immediately loaded with lime bombs, and one lime bomb after another was thrown onto the city wall.
At the same time, the flintlock soldiers kept firing at the top of the city.
The field artillery fired a burst of bombardment, and the shells flew towards the city gate.
After three rounds of bombardment, the gate of the Nanpu city wall collapsed.
At this time, the heavy infantry carried the ladder across the moat, stepped on the ladder to cross the moat, and rushed to the gate.
"Kill!"
Amidst the roars, the heavy infantry rushed into Nanpu City.
The flintlock soldiers followed closely and also rushed to Nanpu City.
