Chapter 320 Sink the Transport Ship

A hot air balloon rose on Zheng Sen's flagship. The personal soldiers standing on the hot air balloon found that a firework signal rose in the air a hundred miles northeast of his own, so the personal soldiers immediately sent a flag-tongued signal downwards.

"Shi Fu and the others have already fought fiercely with the fake slave and the bastard. Let's go there quickly!" Zheng Sen said.

Zheng Sen knew how to say the term "Bangzi", which is naturally a new term that Zhao Peng taught him. He often heard Zhao Peng say about Goryeo Rod, so he asked Zhao Peng what it means.

Zhao Peng didn't know how to answer, so he talked a little nonsense: "When Xue Rengui fought in the east, didn't the Goryeo people lack weapons? So everyone took a stick and fought against my Tang Dynasty. At that time, Goryeo was defeated by Xue Rengui, but they shamelessly revised history. They said that they defeated the Tang Dynasty by 100,000 sticks and shot Emperor Taizong of Tang blindly with one arrow. All 100,000 sticks were beaten to Chang'an. So, they had the nickname of Goryeo Rod."

Although this is just a joke, the nickname of Goryeo Kanzi began to spread among the Zheng family army.

The main fleet of the Zheng family army and the Laiden Navy fleet immediately sailed towards the direction where the fireworks signal appeared. More than 2,000 warships of gunboats, Dafu ships, Haicang ships, Cangshan ships, fast crabs, fire attack ships, mother-child ships, small sampans and other warships were sailing towards the Korean Peninsula.

At this time, the Kunxing Princess was still fighting fiercely with the Korean navy with one enemy, just like an agile leopard fighting a pack of wolves. He used his flexible highway to seize the opportunity and then went up and take a bite. So far, the Korean navy had thirteen sampans, eight fast ships, and eleven fire attack ships were sunk, and two turtle ships and five slab boats were smashed.

The Kunxing Princess was almost unscathed, but was wiped by a shell fired by a North Korean man-sing gun, and no one was injured or killed on the ship.

The Kunxing Princess had already circled behind the Korean Navy warship. Shi Lang discovered the dense transport ships on the sea, so he shouted: "Bangzi transport ship! It must be the ship for transporting Jiannu!"

Shifu ordered: "Switch the rudder, rush over, and sink them!"

The Princess Kunxing rushed towards a transport ship full of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. The transport ship was thin and big, stupid and slow, and could not run at all. He could only watch the "big red barbarian ship" sailing towards him.

This is a large transport ship with a length of 42 meters and a width of 18 meters. The hull looks a bit like the Dafu ship of the Ming Dynasty, but it is shallower than the Dafu ship. There is also a two-story building on the main deck to increase passenger capacity. The cabin below the main deck is densely packed with more than 200 Qing Eight Banners Han arms and weapons. In the two-story building on the main deck, there are more than 50 Manchu Eight Banners archers, white-armored soldiers and officers, as well as North Korean sailors, and there are more than 300 people on the ship.

"Recharge and burn the bomb!" Shi Lang shouted.

The gunners rushed tongs and picked up red-hot shells from the stove, stuffed them into the muzzle, and then pushed the shells into the bullet rod. The red-hot shells entered the bottom of the barrel because there was a wooden board insulated, so the hot shells would not ignite the fixed charge packs in the barrel.

After loading the shells, the Princess Kunxing had approached the North Korean Navy's troops transport ship. The two ships were three hundred steps apart and sailed in a flat line. There were no cannons on the troops transport ship, so they could only watch all the gun doors of the "Red and Barbarian Ship" opposite opened, and the black muzzles were aimed at themselves. The Korean sailors and Qing troops on the ship began to feel fear.

"Fire the cannon!" Shi Lang roared.

"Boom boom boom" Princess Kunxing spit out eight flames on the starboard side, and the shells flew out of the white smoke, carrying afterimages, and smashed them hard towards the North Korean navy transport ship three hundred steps away.

All eight shells were hit! The shells penetrated the thin and crisp hull of the transport ship and drilled directly into the hull, with a real thin skin and large filling. The shells drilled into the cabin, smashed the ship boards, and the wood chips flew everywhere. The Eight Banners Han Army in the cabin fell down like they were hit by shrapnel. The hot shells carried powerful kinetic energy and continued to rush forward. The people they hit were crushed to pieces. The hot shells hit a bird gunner again, and while knocking him into two pieces, it ignited the gunpowder on his body.

The hot shells landed in the cabin and rolled on the ground, leaving black marks on the wooden floor. When the shells stayed on a pile of debris, the high-temperature shells ignited the debris, and a raging fire immediately ignited in the cabin of the transport ship.

Some shells hit the deck, and the red and scorching shells fell on the cables stacked on the deck, igniting the cables immediately, causing a fire on the upper deck.

The ship caught the bombardment ignited a raging fire and began to sink in the flames.

Then, Princess Kunxing turned and pointed at another transport ship on its port side, and a row of shelling fired and smoked, then left the fired transport ship and rushed towards a smaller transport ship.

The transport ship was relatively small, with only about two hundred materials, and its hull was not as high as the Princess Kunxing. Shi Fu directed the sailors to drive his warship directly to the edge of the enemy transport ship. The sailors on the deck threw turbulent tanks at the enemy ship, then shot rockets, and soon ignited the small transport ship.

The Princess Kunxing Clippers rushed back and forth in the North Korean Navy's transport fleet, and carried out a fatal blow to these powerless transport ships, one after another, sinking in the flames.

In a blink of an eye, the Kunxing Princess sank six transport ships in succession, causing more than 1,000 Qing soldiers and more than 300 Korean sailors to bury them on the six ships.

Seeing that many transport ships were sunk to the bottom of the sea, the Eight Banners elites on the ship were sent to the bottom of the sea to feed fish, Shuo Sai grinned with pain. He turned to Park Xingtong and shouted: "Hurry up, go back and save our transport ship!"

"The prince calms down. The general has gone all out to rescue him, but the red barbarian ship is too fast!" Park Xingtong was so scared that he knelt on the ground, trembling all over. Seeing so many elite Eight Banners go into the sea to feed fish, Park Xingtong was really scared. The Koreans were in the Qing Dynasty, and their status was not as high as that of the Han people of the Qing Dynasty. The Han people still have a great chance to carry the flag and become the Han army of the Eight Banners, but what about the Koreans? I have never heard of the saying that they can carry the flag into the Eight Banners and become the North Korea of ​​the Eight Banners.

Although the Qing Dynasty did not blatantly divide people into four levels like the Mongol Yuan, the Qing Dynasty actually had levels. The highest level was the Eight Banners, the second level was the Mongolian, the third level was the Han people, and the Koreans were the fourth level. In fact, there were also levels within the Eight Banners, the highest level was the Eight Banners, the Second Level of Mongolian Eight Banners, the Third Level of Eight Banners, the Fourth Level of Eight Banners, and the Fifth Level was Baoyi Aha. But it was not absolute. Baoyi Aha was around the emperor, and the status was even higher than that of ordinary bannermen.

The Korean navy's large and small warships turned around and walked back to rescue their transport ships.

However, the Kunxing Princess did not fight head-on with the North Korean Navy ship, but instead turned flexibly and quickly left.

The Korean navy had been able to catch up with the small warship of Princess Kunxing for a while, which was a sailboat similar to the Daming fast crab ship. However, those small warships had too weak firepower and could only penetrate the rumors of a Shengzi gun.

For Princess Kunxing, it is just bullying the North Korean navy: you can beat me and you can't catch me, and you can't beat me. Even if you can beat me, your range is not as far away; if you can catch me, your range is not as far away, and your endurance is not as high as me. You can only catch me for a while, and you can't run away after a long time.

The Princess Kunxing, commanded by Shi Fu and Shi Lang, desperately teased and harassed the North Korean navy, attacked their small boats, attacked their transport ships, or shot down the sails of their large ships with chain bullets.

Park Xingtong could only stare at the terrible "Red Barbarian Ship" but there was no way to do it. She could only watch the opponent keep attacking his weak links.
