Kang Chengxun also saw Chen Hui's intention, but he still had a chance to choose.

Due to power issues in the naval battle at this time, Chinese-style hard sails were not like Western-style soft sails that could be mounted on jibs and sailed against the wind. Therefore, despite Chen Hui's arrangements, whether the ship could reach the predetermined combat position still required a certain amount of luck.

of.

"Commander, General Anlang raised the flag and asked us to withdraw southward!" Before Kang Chengxun could make up his mind, General Anlang on another battleship had already made his choice for him.

"Commander, leave quickly. We must not lose anything at Ganghwa Bay. If we all stay here, it will be dangerous to open the capital."

Although the battle had just entered a fever pitch, the lieutenants around Kang Chengxun knew that there was no suspense in this battle.

Not to mention the dozens of fighting ships on the opposite side, it would be very difficult for them to deal with just those stern ships on the opposite side.

"Commander, haven't you seen it yet? This fleet is definitely not something that the Northern invaders can possess. This is coming from the Central Plains imperial court! We need to inform the king quickly to protect Kaijing."

The deputy general's roar was like a thunderclap, which immediately made Kang Chengxun aware of the seriousness of the problem. He suddenly shook his head and shook off the sweat in his hands.

"Yes, we must inform the king to lower all the sails, fold the falcon wings and let's go south."

"The mantis' arm is like a chariot!" Chen Hui snorted coldly. He snorted coldly at the Korean battleship that suddenly appeared on the opposite side and waved his hand.

In an instant, the war drums on the Hengbo were beating, dozens of sailors turned the sails, and the battleship began to slowly move across.

The starboard side of the Hengbo is equipped with four winch crossbows, and then there are three bronze cannons with black holes in the muzzles!

This was the polarization that quickly emerged after Zhang Gao invented the artillery, under the advice of Luantai of Zhongshu Province and the Privy Council, as well as the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry.

Now in Zhang Zhou's army, artillery has begun to develop in the direction of Tiger Crouching Cannon and Nine-section Cannon.

The navy began to build heavy artillery to replace winch crossbows and catapults.

General Anlang ordered the soldiers to intercept with the determination to die. He was actually the real core of the Goryeo navy.

So he immediately thought of the consequences if they were defeated and Jianghua Bay could not be defended. He wanted to use his feat to provide an opportunity for Kang Chengxun to escape.

Therefore, when the Hengbo began to turn the hull sideways, General Anlang also ordered the sailors to take the initiative to move the warship closer to the Hengbo.

A winch crossbow takes dozens of breaths to fire, and one shot is no more than a spear crossbow. Although it is very lethal, it is definitely not as powerful as the damage of thousands of arrows after getting close.

But soon, he discovered something was wrong, because in addition to a few winch crossbows on the opposite starboard side, there was also a somewhat oversized, round hollow long tube.

"Fire!" Chen Hui shouted, and the artillery commander blew the fire stick and quickly lit the fuse before the sea water splashed up.

There was a loud bang, orange flames spurted out from the muzzle, and stone bullets as big as a baby's head flew out, passing over the deck of the Korean warship at extremely fast speeds, causing countless noises.

screams and spurts of blood.

These unlucky Goryeo archers were gathering together. Before they could fire their arrows, the cannonballs plowed a bloody path through the crowd.

Of course, compared to the fact that more than ten people were suddenly smashed into pulp, what frightened them the most was the pressure from this unknown weapon.

General Anlang was also startled, but he immediately realized that this must be a weapon similar to the winch crossbow, only more powerful.

"Spread out, spread out, archers spread out and shoot!"

General Anlang took the safest approach. Being so close, it was definitely impossible to evade, but he could still spread out to reduce casualties.

However, he failed again this time because Chen Hui laughed three times and said, "Change the hail bombs! Let them have a taste of the power."

Hail means hail, which is the term used by Zhang Zhou to refer to shotgun or grapeshot, which means hail falling from the sky.

As soon as the Goryeo naval forces dispersed, they were hit by roaring hailballs. Among these projectiles were polished stone balls, iron balls, hard wood thorns, and even caltrops boiled in gold juice.

If the Koreans were concentrated as they were just now, in this era of insufficient artillery kinetic energy, the lethality might not be too great, but now that they are spread out, they become the perfect target.

Countless hail bullets whizzed past, like a gust of autumn wind blowing violently through a courtyard full of fallen leaves. Almost all of the hundreds of archers who had been standing sparsely fell to the ground.

Some of them were hit. Even if you take one of the hail bullets fired at high speed, your bones and tendons will be broken immediately, your intestines will be pierced and your stomach will be rotten. It is difficult to express in words how miserable it is.

Those who were lucky enough not to be hit were naturally frightened and fell to the ground, so there was such an exaggerated scene, as if the shot directly killed hundreds of people.

Not to mention the Koreans, even the artillery commander who fired the cannon was shocked. He couldn't help but look inside the muzzle, a little suspicious that he was not firing the cannon just now, but using magic.

Only two rounds of six-gun fire were fired, and the battle situation was already like this. Why not line up and shoot? As soon as Chen Qiling waved his flag, the soldiers who were already ready to join the gang came to the side of the ship and stood up with a roar.

With a clang, the two ships slammed into each other.

With this force, the soldiers threw countless grappling hooks to connect the two ship displays. Then, amid the undulating waves, they set up a plank that looked unsafe, and then rushed towards the opposing battleship without hesitation.

....

On the other side, Kang Chengxun, who was running away hastily south, was also screaming in agony at the bow of the Falcon boat.

Because Guo Yanzhen, the son of Yuhou, the capital of the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the former founder of the Wuyue Kingdom, Guo Shicong, had led two large ships headed by the Danghai and more than 40 other barges to block him by taking advantage of the trade wind.

It turned out that during the battle, Zhao Kuangyin ordered Guo Yanzhen to lead his ship to the south, and then after finding a downwind position, he went north and directly attacked the Korean navy from both front and rear.

Although the Korean harpoon boats are large, they are still not impressive compared to the large Zhou Lou ships. The sides of the lou vessels are already higher than the sailors standing on the harpoon boats.

Moreover, the large ships such as the Danghai came with the wind and could adjust their direction flexibly, and their speed was guaranteed. They just ran into the Korean fleet like a wild bull.

The Koreans on the Sea Falcon tried their best to use their long poles to push the Danghai farther away, but to no avail.

Even the waves caused by the Danghai ship sank countless small Korean boats following the Haiyun ship.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the racket pole on the building boat was condescending and hammered the hull of the Sea Falcon ship hard using the principle of leverage. After a while, five or six holes were hammered out of the Sea Falcon ship.

A large number of elite archers were also shooting from high altitudes, and the Sea Falcon ship was even more unable to parry. A large number of sailors and naval forces were shot to death.

The only counterattack they can use is to throw out their grappling hooks in desperation, hoping to climb onto the building and start a gang fight.

But this is all a delusion. They often only get halfway up when they are knocked down into the sea by the giant in despair.

At the same time, countless kerosene jars were also thrown from the building boats, not to burn the falcon boat, but to burn the nearby Korean boats.

These small boats are like babies in front of the large ships. As long as they are hit, they will immediately ignite a ball of fire.

As for the racket pole, it is even more convenient. Once it is lowered, even the boat can be driven directly into the water, which is completely crushed.

Half an hour later, the Korean navy almost completely lost its ability to resist, and then the barges behind them quickly moved forward.

A large number of elite Zhou Dynasty sailors broke into large and small ships in the sea, and brutal hunting and killing began.

The fate of the Goryeo navy was just like that of the falcon ship that was riddled with holes. The only option left was to be beaten to death.
