On the sea at the mouth of the Han River, the sound of cannons roared, and the Zheng family Navy and the Koryo Navy's fleet started to practice. From time to time, water columns soared into the sky, and small boats of the Koryo Navy were constantly shot. The wooden boards on the ship were shattered, and flesh and blood flew everywhere, screaming in terrible times.

"Battle! Beat me hard! The shopkeeper Wang said, sink a Korean ship and reward three hundred taels of silver! Brothers, fight well! Everyone will have a share when you get the reward!" Shi Fu, who was standing behind the cannon position on Zheng Zhilong's ship, shouted at the top of his lungs.

The Koryo Navy sailors rushed over with a small sampan. A small sampan was approaching the Zheng family's Dafu ship. A row of fire flashed on the right side of the Dafu ship. Three Folang machines, more than a dozen bird guns and six nine-headed bird guns were shot in sedges. The small sampan was swept over the rain. The Koryo Navy sailors on the small sampan were swept away. However, the Dafu ship seemed to refuse to let go of the empty Koryo Navy's small sampan. The Dafu ship rushed directly and crushed the unmanned small sampan directly to the bottom of the water.

"Okay! Another 300 taels of silver has been obtained!" The Zheng family sailors on the ship cheered and excited.

Another small sampan rushed to a hundred steps away from the Zheng family's Dafu ship. The Dafu ship fired two rounds of shells in a row with the Folang machine on the side of the side. The small sampan was penetrated by six solid shells and disappeared from the water in an instant.

Anyway, it was the reward for sinking an enemy ship for three taels of silver. The Zheng family navy intends to let go of the large ship and specializes in picking small boats to fight first.

When Li Guodong saw one small boat after another of the Goryeo Navy's boats sinking into the water, he shouted at Wang Quan in a hurry: "If you sink one such a small boat, you will give them three hundred taels of silver? If you build such a small sampan, do you want to pay one hundred taels of silver? If you sink, you will give three hundred?"

Wang Quan looked aggrieved: "How did you know that the Zheng family army's people are so cunning and specialize in the small boats that specialize in the Koryo sticks?"

In fact, Wang Quan didn't understand naval battles at all, nor did he calculate how many large and small boats the Goryeo Navy had. He was too lazy to calculate carefully, so he reported it to Zheng Zhilong according to the reward order of sinking one by one. Zheng Zhilong happily accepted it, and as a result, what happened today was.

Li Guodong estimated that there were at least one thousand small sampans on the water. If the Zheng family army sank all the small sampans, he would be bankrupt. According to the reward given by Wang Quan, it would be more than 300,000 taels of silver! He hired the Zheng family army to fight this battle, and it would be affordable to pay more than 100,000 taels or 200,000 taels of silver. However, according to the reward, more than 1,000 small boats, plus ammunition consumption, the Zheng family army's military's military's military's total cost would be nearly 500,000 taels! This is beyond his ability to bear.

Fortunately, the large ship of the Goryeo people came. Three turtle boats were raised and sailed. The oars extended from both sides were rowing rapidly on the water. Although the boat was covered with iron armor, the turtle boat used for sails was faster than the Dafu boat. The turtle boat was eleven or eight feet long and three or five feet wide. There were twenty oars on both sides. The outer edge of the hull was covered with iron sheets, which could block arrows and bird guns and prevent fire attacks. The boat was divided into twenty-six cabins. There was a Tianzi Gun heavy cannon in the dragon head at the bow, and two Xuanzi Gun medium cannons at the stern, and nine Shengzi Gun light cannons on both sides. There were thirty archers in the cabin, which could fire rockets.

"The Goryeo's tortoise shell ship is here. Is there a way to defeat the enemy if the Zheng army gate?" Wang Quan asked.

Zheng Zhilong laughed: "Although the tortoise shell ship has iron armor, it can only resist bird guns and arrows. Our navy has hundreds of red barbarian cannons, so why fear it? Manager Wang doesn't need to be anxious, let's see how I defeat the enemy."

The flags on the Zheng family's mount ships were shaking, and the other ships saw the flag signals and immediately changed their formation.

Twelve centipede ships rushed out of the formation of the central army and rushed towards the tortoise shell ship of the Goryeo Navy. The centipede ship was also a sailboat, ten feet long and four feet wide, with forty oars on both sides, and a six-pound cannon on each bow and stern, two three-pound cannons and fourteen hundred-pound Bolang machines on each side.

The turtle shell ship of the Goryeo Navy is a castle on the sea, and bird guns and arrows have no effect on it. In the Lianglu naval battle, the Japanese navy, which was mainly engaged in the battle of the platoon, was miserable. However, the Zheng family navy was not the Japanese navy. The six-pound cannons and three-pound cannons on the centipede boat of the Zheng family were all new naval cannons cast by Li Guodong, which were no less than the Red-Mao Yi's naval cannons, but the caliber was a little smaller. Not to mention the six-pound cannon, the three-pound cannons can penetrate the tortoise shell of the turtle boat.

Zheng Zhilong pointed to the centipede ship surrounded like a pack of wolves, and pointed to the three large turtle ships of the Goryeo and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, if you sink such a large ship, you will have three hundred taels of silver, isn't it too little?"

"This..." Wang Quan, who has always been eloquent, does not understand naval battles after all, and does not know how to answer for a while.

Li Guodong, who was standing beside him, said, "Brother Zheng, I hire you to help me fight the Korean sticks, and you can't offer a price all over the place! My little brother doesn't understand naval battles. A ship is priced at 300. These three hundred are not different in size, right? Brother Zheng, you just sank more than 100 small boats. The ammunition fee and the cost of sending troops are not counted. The reward is almost 50,000. Where are the small boats worth 50,000? These three big boats can't be increased, right?"

Zheng Zhilong laughed: "It's not reasonable to have the same price as a big boat. This is how brother Wang Quan doesn't know the market. I'll give a price, a tortoise shell ship is 1,000 taels."

"Too many, you can only give it at most five hundred."

"Five hundred is too little, a win, seven hundred."

"Six hundred! No more."

"Trade!" Zheng Zhilong stretched out his hand, "Six hundred is six hundred! I wrote down three turtle boats, one thousand eight hundred silver."

"Before the fight started, it's already sunk?"

"It's certain to sink!" Zheng Zhilong laughed.

The twelve centipede ships were like bloodthirsty wolves, surrounding them from all directions, taking advantage of their flexibility and speed, they kept going around behind the buttocks of the turtle ship, and aimed at the stern of the turtle ship with the six-pound cannon at the stern of the bow and stern of the ship to fire.

The stern of the turtle ship is the most vulnerable. The centipede ship is like a pack of wolves hunting bulls, specifically attacking backwards, and like a hyena biting the lower part of the bull, it keeps going backwards. With a burst of hull, a shell sprayed out with smoke from the fire, hitting the sea on both sides of the turtle ship, and a series of water columns soared into the sky. From time to time, a shell hit the stern of the turtle ship, and the shells broke through the boards and drilled into the ship. The shells drilled into the stern can penetrate the entire ship, hitting the tail from the tail to the head, causing huge casualties in the ship.

From time to time, shells pierced from the stern of the turtle boat pierced the entire ship. The weak next door could not stop the shells at all. Wooden boards in the cabin flew everywhere, blood splashed everywhere. The Korean sailors in the cabin were wiped by the shells, their hands and feet were broken. Some were directly penetrated by the shells and smashed to pieces, while others were tied into hornets' nests by the wooden boards.

The Goryeo's turtle boat also used the cannons on the ship to counterattack, and the shells hit the waters on both sides of the centipede boat, and the water columns soared into the sky.

The hull of the centipede ship is narrow, so it aims at the turtle ship with the bow and stern of the ship. It has a small area of ​​bombing and is extremely fast. It is difficult for the turtle ship to hit the centipede ship. More than 90% of the shells fall into the sea, and only a few shells hit the centipede ship.

The cannon at the stern of the Goryeo turtle ship is the Goryeo's Xuanzi Gun. The Xuanzi Gun weighs 190 kilograms, three feet long and two inches in diameter. It can fire more than one kilogram of shells and can also launch rockets magically. You are not mistaken, it is a rocket! The Goryeo would come up with a rocket in the cannon barrel to launch it. This is also a strange thing. The rockets fired weigh seven kilograms, but the range is terrible, only twenty to thirty steps. When firing shells, they can fire two hundred steps.

Even the heavy cannons of the Tianzi Gun in the dragon head of the turtle ship are actually far behind the cannons of the Zheng family. The Tianzi Gun weighs 500 kilograms and can fire three kilograms of shells. However, it is often used to fire a rocket weighing 33 kilograms. When firing shells, the range can reach more than 500 steps. When firing rockets, the range is only about 100 steps.
