“Trap, this is a trap!”
Vice Admiral Jin’s legs were trembling on the wooden house ship in the distance, and the sound like thunder made him completely panic.
Pu Zhenghao also turned pale, but he still remained calm. He immediately shouted: “Retreat!”
At this time, the four warships that attacked were on the side of the Great Chongqing ship. In the flames and roar, these warships seemed to be floating without roots. Ping generally sways in the sea water.
“Is this artillery?” Pu Zhenghao’s eyes narrowed. The war between Dayu and the Golden Horde had spread to Goryeo, and they learned about the artillery.
“No matter what it is, we are definitely no match. Run away.” Lieutenant General Jin shouted: “Row away quickly, row away quickly!”
The sound of artillery and gunfire continued. After one round of shooting, the artillery continued to load for the second round. Round shooting.
However, after just one round of shooting, almost all the boatmen in the cabin of the cabin ship were killed or injured.
“Boom…”
Another salvo fired, and the solid shells followed the muzzle and penetrated the plank of the cabin ship like tofu. After the shells entered the cabin, they destroyed everything in the cabin. The already frightened Goryeo boatman continued It was directly hit by the cannonball, and blood was spread all over the bottom of the cabin like ink.
“Bang bang…”
The shooting on the deck continued. At this time, the Korean soldiers were in a state of complete panic and were constantly being killed by flintlock guns. Some soldiers jumped directly into the sea because they were too frightened, and some soldiers were frightened. They had to hide everywhere, and some soldiers knelt directly on the deck and chose to surrender.
“Those who surrender will not be killed!”
At this time, Yue Yun shouted at the soldiers on the wooden house boat, and at the same time, a flag with the words “Those who surrender will not be killed” was raised high.
Seeing this flag, more Korean soldiers knelt on the deck and chose to surrender.
Goryeo has always used the characters of the Dayu Kingdom. Although the soldiers speak different words from the Dayu Kingdom, some of the literate people can still understand the text.
After the number theory bombardment, the wooden house boat has lost power and now it can only wait for death.
“Your Highness, two ships have escaped.” Yue Yun said, “Should we catch up now?”
“No, let them go back to report the news. I want the king of Goryeo to live in constant fear.” Xiao Ming He smiled lightly and said that Gao Li was just a fat sheep to him now.
In the future, he will turn Goryeo into a place for exporting his goods and a source of slaves, but now is not the time to start a war with Goryeo. After all, the top priority now is Ryukyu.
After all, there is a large amount of sugar cane in Ryukyu now, and Ryukyu is also a place where three-season rice can be grown at this time. This is very important to him, because it means that he will have a high-yield food area.
And according to Claire, there are 200,000 Taiwanese Gaoshan indigenous people, plus those who migrated from Dayu to Ryukyu Island. These 200,000 people are mainly distributed in the southern part of Ryukyu, and are currently under the control of the Dutch. .
For Xiao Ming, the population of 200,000 is not much, and most of them are Gaoshan tribesmen who are difficult to control. However, Xiao Ming does not care about this population, because once he controls Ryukyu, he can definitely encourage the people of the Yu Kingdom opposite Ryukyu to immigrate .
After all, the people in this area are under the control of the royal family. As long as he can find a way to get Xiao Wenxuan to agree to immigrate more than 100,000 people, this place will continue to provide him with food output.
While Xiao Ming was thinking about it, Yue Yun had already ordered the soldiers to take the surrendered Goryeo soldiers to the ship.
Eighty-eight of the boatmen on the wooden house boats died and completely lost their power. Even if these Goryeo soldiers did not surrender, they could only starve to death at sea.
“Let’s go, let’s go quickly!”
The crew members held flintlock guns against the Korean soldiers and escorted the soldiers into the cabin to take care of them.
There were a total of more than 400 soldiers in the four wooden house boats. Now of the 400 people, less than a hundred were left alive. Most of the soldiers died under the attack and flintlock guns.
Each of these surrendered soldiers was like a frightened rabbit, with dull eyes and trembling bodies.
The four wooden house boats were still silent under the bombardment. Xiao Ming said: “It will be good to bring these boats back later and repair them for fishing.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Yue Yun said with a smile.
This battle was simply one-sided. When he came to his senses, the battle was basically over and there was no difficulty.
At the end of the battle, he counted the soldiers. None of them were injured. They just wasted some ammunition.
After encountering the war, Xiao Ming naturally lost the mood to taste seafood. He let the fishing boat continue fishing, while he and Yue Yun dragged the wooden house boat back to the military port.
After getting off the boat, Fei Yue’er’s face was still a little pale, and the artillery scared her quite a bit.
“Is everything okay?” Xiao Ming chose to return to Dengzhou City precisely because he cared about Fei Yue’er’s mood.
“Your Highness, I’m fine.” Fei Yue’er smiled meaningfully. She didn’t want Xiao Ming to worry.
Although she didn’t see the battle, the sound of artillery and the desperate screams of the soldiers made her very aware of how tragic the battle was at that time.
Just these sounds frightened her.
Fei Yue’er’s expression made Xiao Ming understand that she was just comforting him, but he also knew that as his princess, he would have to go through this sooner or later, so that Fei Yue’er could face the storms calmly in the future.
After taking Fei Yue’er back to the camp and letting her rest, Xiao Ming returned to the military port again.
“Your Highness, the prisoners are all here.” Yue Yun pointed at the Korean soldiers kneeling on the ground and said.
Xiao Ming nodded and asked, “Which of you can speak the language of Dayu?”
Because Goryeo was once a vassal state of Dayu, and many Koreans knew the language of Dayu.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man who looked like a general said: “I, I can!”
Yue Yun immediately escorted the Goryeo soldier wearing general uniforms in front of Xiao Ming.
Only by knowing the enemy and yourself can you be victorious in every battle. Xiao Ming will never underestimate any enemy, because there are too many things that can capsize in the gutter.
He asked: “Who is your king of Goryeo now?”
“Our king’s surname is Li.” The Goryeo general said tremblingly.
Xiao Ming asked again, “How many people do you have in the navy? How many warships are there?”
“Fifteen thousand people, one hundred and twenty warships.” The Goryeo general said again.
Yue Yun was a little surprised when he heard this, and he said: “Your Highness, there are quite a lot of sailors in Goryeo.”
Xiao Ming nodded, which was why he did not start a war rashly, and then asked: “Are they all ships like this? “
No, no, in addition to this kind of ship, we also have a turtle ship,” the Korean general said.
“Turtle ship? What kind of ship is this?” Yue Yun asked.
Without waiting for the Goryeo general to speak, Xiao Ming explained: “This is a ship used to ram local warships.”
