On May 5, 1643, on the second day after Huang Taiji ordered troops to send troops to the Jurchen Hurha tribe in the East China Sea, three ships from the East Coast went south under the northwest wind, crossed the Tsukuma Strait, and arrived at the sea outside Jeju Island. Surprisingly, they found a slow Chinese sailboat on the sea, which seemed to be a sea boat patrolling the sea by the Koreans. However, the standard was a traditional Chinese hard sailboat, rather than a famous turtle boat in North Korea, which was somewhat surprising.

The ship immediately discovered the east coast ship with the double swords and eagle flag flying. Faced with such a strong enemy, they were responsible for guarding the security of North Korea's territorial waters and turned around and started to escape without any ruthlessness. However, the clumsy control performance of the Chinese hard sailboat was exposed at this moment. Before they could turn smoothly, the "Lehai" and "Fubo" expedition ships surrounded one left and one right under the rapid rotation of propellers.

The Koreans seemed to find that they could not escape at this moment. They started a desperate counterattack with a few small-caliber cannons on the ship. Some courageous archers and bird gun soldiers also stood in the inner side of the ship and shot towards the people's ships on the east coast. However, because the distance was too far, most of their shooting fell into the sea, which made the sailors on the two east coast sailboats laugh loudly.

Naturally, they could not watch the Koreans shoot at them. Under the orders of the gun captains, the few gunmen on the two expedition ships pulled open the cannon coats covering the cannons, then adjusted the angle of the cannon barrels, loaded and loaded the bullets. The firepower of the "Fubo" and "Lehai" was not strong, and each ship had only 16 artillery pieces, and the largest caliber was only two 18-pound naval guns, but this kind of firepower was already extremely powerful on the sea surface of the Far East at this moment.

Under the command of the officer, seven artillery guns on the starboard side of the Fubo opened fire in succession. 18 pounds, 12 pounds and 8 pounds of iron balls roared towards the North Korean ships at a distance of more than 500 meters. Due to the large storm at sea, the first round of artillery fire was not very good. Several shells fell into the sea, but three still hit the enemy ship's hull, causing certain damage.

After the "Fubo" shooting, the "League" also joined the shooting operation. They were lucky. Five of the seven shells hit the side of the North Korean ship, and one of the 18-pound solid iron balls hit the side of the North Korean ship. A hole that was not big or small made the North Koreans on the ship exclaim.

There is no suspense in such a battle. After looking for a while, Mo Ming asked him to see if he could capture the North Korean ship alive, and then walked back to the captain's room. However, his order was a little late. At this time, the gunners who were so aggressive had already fired two rounds of volleys. One of the 18-pound shells opened a hole on the side of the old North Korean ship again. After the holes were broken on both sides, the sea water began to rush into the North Korean patrol ship with a small tonnage. After the blockade was invalid, the sailors jumped into the sea with wooden boards, wooden barrels and other floating objects.

Many small boats were placed on the flute-shaped transport ship of the Baobabies. The Eight Banners soldiers rowed their boats to rescue the North Korean crew members who fell into the water. These North Koreans were all old sailors who had been old for a long time, so the East Coast people would not let them go. After arresting them and transforming them, there was no big problem to let them drive the merchant ship. It did not take too long to rescue the sailors. One hour later, about 30 surviving North Korean sailors were rescued one by one on the transport ship and then they were strictly taken care of.

The battle with this Korean patrol ship is just a small episode today. The ultimate goal of the East Coast people is the Korean town on Jeju Island in the northwest - there is a population, livestock and food that the East Coast people need. At this moment, the East Coast people are in the sea southeast of Jeju Island. Mo Ming stands on the bow and can see the towering Hanna Mountain on the island. On the southern foot of Hanna Mountain is Jeju County where the Lee Dynasty sets it here. There are several villages and towns near Jeju County, such as Xigui Town. These towns live in a certain number of Korean people, and of course, a certain number of troops are also stationed.

However, after a fight last year, the people of the East Coast also had a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army, which was the scum! Therefore, Mo Ming despised them extremely. So, under his command, the three ships rushed straight towards Jingyi County in a shape of a pin. After approaching the shallow water of the coast, the three ships anchored as usual, and then they swayed down a large number of small boats on the boat. The small boats were loaded with soldiers and rowed to the shore.

This time, the Eight Banners Army was naturally the one who served as the front line. They only took half an hour to board the coast under the leadership of Liu Zhong, the battalion commander. After landing, Liu Zhong hurriedly gathered a whistle of about 200 people, plus more than 50 indigenous servants from Sakhalin Island, and rushed towards Jingyi County.

The walls of Jingyi County are not tall or thick. They are made of volcanic rock and clay. On the top of the city are some Korean soldiers, sometimes mixed with some scattered clothes. However, they seem to have different morale and poor military equipment. This state of war makes the officers and soldiers of the East Coast army under the city feel a little happy while shaking their heads. Maybe the battle will be easy? Maybe the fall of the city is only in an instant?

When Liu Zhong and others got off the ship, Mo Ming gave them a very clear message: that is, to use lightning attacks to break the Koreans' resistance outside the city, control all the intersections of important roads around the city, and then wait for the subsequent troops to get ashore to take down the county with the city walls. After all, the people on the east coast want not the city, but the population, livestock and food in the city.

However, it seems that the situation is obviously more optimistic than the most optimistic estimate before the war. These North Koreans did not have the courage to fight the East Coast people outside the city! Some of them fled, while others retreated into the city, hoping to rely on the city to resist stubbornly. Out of extreme contempt for the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army, Liu Zhong dispersed his troops to several intersections, and then formed some thin formations to seal the route of the North Koreans' escape in the city. As for the fleeing North Koreans, there was no way, and they could only let them go if they were insufficient.

More than fifty natives of Sakhalin Island were holding longbows. After approaching the city wall, these hunters living in bitter and cold places shot sharp heavy arrows one by one at the top of the city. Some Koreans who could not avoid them screamed and fell from the city, and the remaining people were scared to death. The accurate heads of these hunters' archers were really terrible. One arrow that seemed to be picked up can often penetrate the throat, face and other vital parts, making people feel frightened when they saw it.

After seeing dozens of Sakhalin hunters successfully suppressing the Koreans on the city wall, Liu Zhong was overjoyed. At this moment, another Eight Banners infantry rushed over with simple siege equipment, so he simply did not wait for the brothers of the 102nd Company of the Army who were struggling to drag artillery toward this side, but directly ordered the whistleman to select some capable men to climb the ladder and try to seize the city.

The Eight Banners soldiers practiced various tactics in South Africa, including capturing the city and defending the city. At that time, their training scene was to climb the city ladders under the cover of the East Coast musketeers. Although there was no cover of the East Coast musketeers, with the help of those Sakhalin Island hunters with superb shooting skills, they also suppressed the counterattack firepower of the enemy on the city, so the conditions for capturing the city were met.

After selecting the most powerful fifty people from the more than 200 officers and soldiers in the sentry, the officers led the team began to promise to boost morale to their subordinates, and then rushed towards the city wall with fifty subordinates. The city wall of Jingyi County is not high, and it looks more than three meters long. Such a low city wall can be climbed up without a ladder at all. However, considering that these people were wearing thick armored clothes, it was still difficult to climb with bare hands.

"Click!" A cloud ladder was placed on the top of the city. Five or six Eight Banners warriors wearing leather armor and holding sabers climbed up one by one. One of the Sakhalin natives holding strong bows placed heavy arrows on the bowstrings and looked at the top of the city vigilantly.

When the first Eight Banners warrior climbed to the top of the city, the Koreans' resistance finally came late. The unlucky Eight Banners warrior was poked into the chest and abdomen by several spears, and he screamed and fell off the top of the city. However, the Koreans who showed their heads to attack him were also in trouble. Under the archers of Sakhalin Island, three Korean soldiers screamed and rolled down the top of the city. Seeing the enemy's archer shooting skills so accurately, and the extremely scary black faces of the Eight Banners warrior climbed up the city, the remaining Koreans scattered and scattered, and the city fell so easily.

As more and more Eight Banners warriors climbed to the city head, the East Coast people completely controlled the city wall near the city gate. Soon, more than a dozen fully armed Eight Banners warriors fell down the city wall. After killing a group of Korean soldiers surrounding the city gate, they easily controlled the city gate and opened the thin iron-clad wooden gate.

A tremendous cheer came out outside the city. A large group of Eight Banners warriors rushed into the city under the leadership of officers. After extinguishing the street fighting organized by a few Korean soldiers who still insisted on resisting, the whole city announced that they had changed hands! From Mo Ming on the "Fubo" to Liu Zhong's Eight Banners First Battalion to capture the city, the entire battle took less than two hours, and there were even more than ten casualties, which was extremely relaxed.
