"Push it away, push it away!" The Korean soldiers on the battleship were in a hurry, with their spears, pennies, and oars at the same time, trying to prevent the fishing boat from continuing to approach them.
However, human strength is ultimately too weak compared to a fishing boat filled with grease and dry firewood.
Under the influence of inertia, the fishing boat continued to inch closer to the battleship at a slow and steady speed. Finally, the bow of the ship hit the side of the battleship heavily.
Sparks rolled up along with thick smoke, causing the warship to approach the fishing boat, making it impossible for any living person to stand.
The Goryeo soldiers were so burned that they dropped their spears, pennies and oars and staggered back.
The grease on the fishing boat boiled and splashed all over the side of the battleship in the blink of an eye. Immediately afterwards, the side of the battleship began to burn, and the flames jumped all the way up to the deck, sails, and tall masts.
All the officers on board the Goryeo warships grabbed spare sampans and abandoned the ship to escape. The ordinary soldiers and sailors had no choice but to jump into the sea and drift with the tide.
The sea water that is good in summer is not cold at all, and even feels very comfortable. However, the Korean soldiers and sailors who fell into the water all turned pale, crying for their fathers and mothers, shouting that the sky was not responding, and the earth was not working!
The warriors of the Song Dynasty who were hiding under the water quickly found them. Like sharks hunting for prey, they dragged the lone Korean soldiers underwater and cut off their heads with a knife.
The water in Dengzhou Port is very shallow and clear. If the Korean soldiers lower their heads, they can easily see the algae and sand on the seabed. However, for them, such clear water is full of murderous intent.
No one among the Goryeo soldiers and sailors who fell into the water knew when those Song Dynasty warriors who cut off people's heads in exchange for bounties would appear and from which direction they would appear.
Those warriors of the Song Dynasty were so familiar with the hydrology of Dengzhou Port that they were as familiar as visiting their own back garden. However, the Korean soldiers and sailors who jumped into the sea to survive came from the distant Jeju.
"Help, help -" Some Korean soldiers and sailors saw that their general was riding on a sampan and there seemed to be room. They tried their best to paddle after him and asked the other party to take them for a ride.
Their response was not untimely, but what awaited them was the cold tip of the gun.
"Don't let anyone get close to the sampan, including our own soldiers!" On a sampan near the exit of the harbor, Cui Rong, commander of the Koryo Navy's forward squadron, ordered with a livid face. "Save one of you and he will be able to swim."
Come here and get a group!"
"Yes!" The soldiers and servants on the sampan agreed in unison, and then continued to grab their spears and stab them at the surrounding sea water. No matter who dared to come close, they would poke holes with one shot.
Although this method is extremely cruel, it has been proven to be effective in practice. Previously, they relied on this coldness of not recognizing their relatives, and escaped from the depths of the harbor by rowing a sampan all the way to the harbor exit.
As long as they row another twenty feet, the sampan can escape outside the port. At that time, the main fleet and the two squadrons on the left and right can send warships to rescue everyone on the sampan and escape.
"Don't let anyone get close to the sampan, including your own soldiers!"
"Stab him to death, otherwise the sampan will capsize and we will all have our heads cut off by the Song people!"
"Bitch, let go, don't drag me down!"
…
The power of example is always infinite. The other Korean generals who had robbed the sampan and abandoned the ship to escape saw Cui Rong, the commander of the forward squadron, crushing the corpses of his soldiers all the way to the harbor exit, and they gritted their teeth and ordered
The cronies around him opened the way with spears and steel knives.
The warriors of the Song Dynasty who tried to get close to the sampan and overturned it were forced to distance themselves from the sampan. The Korean soldiers who tried to overturn the sampan and fled with the generals died one after another at the hands of their superiors.
The water around the sampan quickly turned red, and corpses floated almost everywhere the sampan passed.
There were also some soldiers on the sampan who couldn't bear it and moved a little slowly. In an instant, the edge of the sampan was grabbed by soldiers and sailors swimming over. Then, the entire sampan turned upside down due to the overload.
There were also some sampans that panicked and blocked the escape route of their warships. In the blink of an eye, they were smashed into pieces by the warships.
The Korean general and his cronies on the sampan were either directly hit and killed by the warship, or they ran away screaming. Then they were spotted by the Song Dynasty warriors who followed quietly. They grabbed their ankles when they were not prepared and dragged them to the
seabed.
"Blow the trumpet and order Zhang Shouzhong to take the forward battalion out. Don't say I didn't give him a chance!" Standing on a high platform not far from the coast, Han Qing had a full view of the situation in the harbor and decisively grabbed a dark yellow
The command flag was waving up and down.
"Woo woo woo, woo woo woo, woo woo woo -" the high-pitched horn sounded, like a tiger roaring and a crowd of hills.
The yellow flags were waved in succession accompanied by the sound of the trumpet. Soon, together with the sound of the trumpet, the order of the general was transmitted to the ears of Zhang Shouzhong, the leader of the forward camp.
Zhang Shouzhong, the naval officer who originally belonged to Yang Xingyan but now committed a crime in Dengzhou, immediately pulled out his knife, shouted and jumped onto a ten-material fishing boat tied to the shore. Then, he cut off the rope tied to the bow with his knife.
cable at.
Seven nearby fishing boats of similar size followed suit one after another, forming a single column as they drove towards the large and small sampans in the harbor.
"Brothers, come with me to kill thieves, Han Tixing is watching us!" Zhang Shouzhong raised his hand to wipe away his tears, roared loudly with red eyes, as if he wanted to spit out all the grievances in his stomach with a shout.
.
At the beginning, under Yang Xingyan, he was just an unpopular marginal figure. He was not involved in many military secrets, and of course he was at the bottom when it came to dividing money.
Later, Yang Xingyan committed many crimes and was killed by Han Qing. And he was also implicated by Yang Xingyan and imprisoned.
It was also thanks to the fact that he had not been favored by Yang Xingyan before that Zhang Shouzhong passed the post-war screening and was not sentenced to death as an accessory to rebellion.
However, he knew that his life was completely over. Being able to live as a convict and feed livestock in a supply camp until he grew old was the greatest blessing, and he would never be able to turn around again.
Unexpectedly, half a month ago, Han Qing found him personally when he was asked to do some prison business and reappointed him as the head of the Navy's forward battalion!
Along with him, there were more than a dozen Yuhou and Duizheng who were reactivated. They were all marginal figures during the Yang Xingyan period. They did not gain much benefit, but suffered a lot.
Now that everyone has seen the light of day again, how could they not be grateful to Han Qing? On the day he was commissioned, he swore to the sky that he would break his body to pieces in repayment.
A sampan noticed the approaching fishing boat and sped up to escape, jumping like a barracuda on the water. Zhang Shouzhong directed the fishing boat to rush over and bite the sampan's tail. Then, with a loud shout, he jumped from the fishing boat.
Pounce straight down.
The sampan was smashed and shook from side to side. The Korean generals were so frustrated that they grabbed long spears and daggers and stabbed Zhang Shouzhong randomly. The latter firmly clasped the surface of the sampan with his feet, shouted again, and twisted with his knife.
In an instant, the sword flashed like a sword, and several spear heads and an arm were chopped off.
