Chapter 1244: The commander's order is like flowing water, cleverly maneuvering, turning the corner into safety
The battle situation at this time finally eased a little, and Shen Mo immediately took the time to check the casualties of the soldiers on the ship.
Now the two people on the ship were seriously injured, both of whom were shot in the chest and were not in danger of their lives. The other nine people were slightly injured, including the captain Wu Jun whose cheeks were shot through.
So the question is, why didn’t Shen Mo put armor on the fighters on the warships?
Because during water wars, due to the violent maneuvering and tragic battles on the ship, people often fall into the water.
So if you want to wear armor on combatants, because armor is not convenient for putting on and taking off, once the person wearing it falls into the water, it will be completely physiological.
Because of this reason, the sailors on the ship are still very resistant to armor. Once many sailors put on armor, they are even unwilling to walk to the side of the ship.
However, after this battle, the advantages and disadvantages of this flying Henan People were exposed to Shen Mo.
The advantages are obvious. This ship has a fast firepower and fast speed. Especially in the face of the wind, no one in the world can catch up with it.
However, there are also disadvantages, that is, in addition to the heavy artillery group that can fire volleys, this ship has extremely lack of close-range support firepower.
Just like this battle, if there were several small cannons on the ship to fire shotguns, or there were thirty or fifty soldiers holding rifles and using bullet rain to suppress the opponent's bow and arrow positions, there wouldn't be so many injured.
However, this problem is not so easy to solve. Although adding a few guns is easy to say, the load capacity of the ship is a problem. Especially the insufficient layout area on the ship is even more difficult.
In addition, if the naval soldiers who operate rifles are added, it is impossible to squeeze out 50 people's bunks on the ship. The arms and supplies they need to increase will also occupy a lot of space.
However, this problem can be solved slowly in the future and is not in a hurry.
At present, the situation in front of Shen Mo has turned danger into safety, so there is no need to worry too much.
Then, Shen Mo was walking his dog, leading the Goryeo fleet slowly backed up, while constantly firing artillery to sink them one after another.
But those Koreans saw Shen Mo just a hundred meters away and couldn't catch up with him!
All the weapons on their warships could not reach him, and they could only be sunk into the Han River by the lonely warships of the other party.
Then, when Shi Baoying's fleet finally bypassed the entire Jianghua Island and appeared at the mouth of the Han River, the situation of war in front of him finally took a turning point!
On this narrow Han River, there are only seven or eight remaining Koryo Navy warships in front of them and pursuers behind them, so they are already unable to escape!
So, when Shi Baoying started firing at the mouth of the Han River, these Goryeo navy urinated immediately.
They didn't know that Shi Baoying's warship was too large and could not enter the Han River at all. So they saw the remaining five or six warships approaching the east bank of the Han River without hesitation!
After these warships ran aground on the river, they saw the official sailors in the Goryeo Navy immediately jumped down the side of the ship like dumplings!
As soon as they landed on the water, they swam to the east bank of the Han River. In desperation, the group of people decisively abandoned the ship and fled, not even needed the ship!
Shen Mo was too lazy to pay attention to the fleeing scattered soldiers and brave men on the shore, but joined Shi Baoying's fleet. With a single gun, the beached Korean warships were knocked into fragments of the river.
