Become a feudal king from today
Chapter 436 True Face
"But Your Highness, this is not exposed. Read М" Zhou Yi said.
He was worried that if the news was passed back, Beidi would cancel the plan to go south from the sea.
Zhao Xu sneered, "Be braver, since we have fought, will we give them the opportunity to go back and inform them?"
Before today, the King of Yan strictly prohibited them from clashing with the Goryeo warships.
Now that the King of Yan said so, he was just looking forward to it. Just now, he was just testing.
Now with the order of the King of Yan, his eyes flashed with cold light as he looked at the Goryeo warships.
At this time, the six warships from Goryeo seemed to have seen Zhao Xu and his party, but these Goryeo warships not only did not retreat, but rushed over here.
"Your Highness, it's dangerous here, you should hide in the cabin for a while." Zhou Yi said to Zhao Xu.
"This king has fought so many battles, and he has seen all kinds of battles. Don't worry." Zhao Xu said.
He had been on the battlefield several times, and his courage had been sharpened.
Now even if there are thousands of troops, he will be calm and at ease.
Zhou Yi and Gong Ying were filled with admiration when they heard this.
In the Wangfu army, the admiration for the King of Yan from the generals to the soldiers was indeed not out of thin air.
In a dangerous moment, he could live and die with the soldiers. This was the wise master they deserved to serve.
Ignoring the two, Zhao Xu looked at the Goryeo warship across the way through the telescope.
This was a typical Goryeo building ship, which was learned from Dasong.
This building ship was huge in size and could carry nearly a hundred people. It sailed slowly, but only dozens of sailors were needed to operate it flexibly during battle. The Goryeo navy often used the building ship as the main warship.
Continuing to observe, Zhao Xu saw more than a hundred Goryeo soldiers on the deck of the building ship. Some of these soldiers were holding bows and arrows, some were holding swords, and some archers were shooting at fishing boats.
The building ship was not a sailing warship. The main power came from the wooden paddles in the lower cabin and the large hard sails on it.
At this time, the oars under the building ship were shaken by the boatmen in the boat to chase the fishing boat.
"Your Highness, are we going to attack now?" Zhou Yi said.
Zhao Xu was a little surprised, and he said: "These Goryeo soldiers are interesting? Didn't they see our warships? Why are they so arrogant?"
"Your Highness, these Goryeo soldiers probably thought we were merchant ships, because there have never been warships in Yanzhou, and there are not many soldiers on our deck, neither wearing armor nor holding swords." Zhou Yi said.
Zhao Xu nodded, and he said: "In this case, let's play with these Goryeo warships. Now we will disguise ourselves as merchant ships and wait for the king's orders."
"Yes, Your Highness." Zhou Yi said.
The fishing boat in front quickly approached Zhao Xu's warship under the pursuit of the Goryeo warship, and the Goryeo warship was still chasing closely. At this time, Zhao Xu ordered all the gunners on the warship to be ready, and at the same time asked the crew on the deck to take the flintlocks and load them and hide under the side of the ship waiting for orders.
On the building ship, a general wearing scale armor and a helmet was examining the Dasong ship, which was a little too large.
They had never seen this kind of ship before, with a tall hull and too many sails, neither in Japan nor in Daesong.
"General Jin, this time we came to drive away the fishing boats, but we didn't expect to encounter a bigger fat sheep." A deputy general said with a smile: "This Daesong merchant ship is so big, it would be a pity if it was burned this time. Just take it back, and the king will definitely reward us."
Kim Tae-hee frowned.
Although the war was about to start, their Goryeo pearl harvesting affairs had to proceed normally.
This time, they were ordered to come here to supervise the Goryeo fishing boats to pick pearls and present them to the king.
Originally, their boats were collecting pearls on the side of Pearl Island.
At this time, a Goryeo fisherman who was collecting pearls in the sea told them that there were Daesong fishing boats secretly collecting pearls in the south, so they rushed over immediately.
But they didn't expect to find this huge merchant ship of Daesong in addition to some fishing boats.
For them, Pearl Island is now the place where the special pearls for the King of Goryeo are produced. They absolutely do not allow fishermen from Daesong to fish here, even though Pearl Island is more than 200 miles away from Goryeo and only 60 miles away from Daesong.
"Something is wrong. This merchant ship is a little too big, and the fishing boats in front have all run away, why don't they run away?" Jin Taixi refuted the deputy general's statement.
Beidi has repeatedly suffered losses at the hands of Daesong, and all this is caused by the prince called the King of Yan.
And this area is exactly the jurisdiction of this King of Yan, which made him a little suspicious.
After all, it is rumored that this King of Yan is not someone who can be easily provoked.
"General Jin, when did you become so timid? Who doesn't know what Daesong looks like? Don't think too much. You see that none of the people on it are wearing armor and holding weapons. It must be a fishing boat or a merchant ship. If General Park does not launch an attack again, I can only command the soldiers myself." The deputy general said strangely.
Jin Taixi's face suddenly became extremely ugly. This deputy general came from the royal city and had a deep background. Although his position was lower than his own, he always disobeyed the transfer order.
"Lieutenant General Li, for safety's sake, it's better to send out a vanguard to test the waters." Although she was very unhappy with the deputy general, Kim Tae-hee still didn't want to risk the lives of her soldiers.
Lieutenant General Li snorted and said, "Okay, let's send four warships forward to capture them."
Then he ordered the warships to attack.
At this time, the four warships slid their oars, and the building ship moved closer to Da Song's ship. When they approached, they found that the people on the ship were hiding in fear, which made them relax their vigilance again.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, following an order from the ship, the soldiers on the ship immediately threw hooks to catch Da Song's ship.
"kill!"
The ship was hooked, and the Korean soldiers immediately became excited, because this was basically equivalent to capturing this huge ship.
But their excitement soon turned to fear.
"Boom boom..."
There was a deafening sound, and the whole building tilted from the side of the Dasong ship, as if the ship was going to topple over.
The loud noise almost deafened the Korean soldiers on board the ship.
Just when they were standing unsteadily, a row of people suddenly stood up on the side of the ship. Flames were mixed with loud noises, and the Korean soldiers on the ship fell in pieces.
"Hit me, hit me hard, these bitches have tolerated you for too long." Zhou Yi yelled.
Under the bombardment of artillery, the four Goryeo warships flew up countless wood chips.
These sawdust flew into the sky and fell into the sea.
Under the fire of flintlock muskets, Korean soldiers continued to fall in a pool of blood.
Being hit by two firearms at the same time, the soldiers of the Goryeo warship were immediately in chaos.
But this is just the beginning. After the first round of shelling, the second round of shelling will come immediately.
The third-class sailing battleship has one hundred and thirty-six guns.
Distributed on both sides, there are also sixty-eight gates on each side.
At such a close distance, the cannonball easily penetrated the hull of the Goryeo warship.
The Korean warship began to sink.
"Chase the remaining two ships." The movement here obviously frightened the other two Goryeo warships.
The two warships immediately fled north.
But how could Zhao Xu let them go back safely to report the news.
Seeing that the sinking of the four Goryeo warships was a foregone conclusion, he ordered to pursue them.
