Chapter 437: Interrogation

"Help, help..."

The blood dyed the sea red, and the Goryeo soldiers struggled for help.

Now, they no longer have the arrogance they had when they surrounded the fishermen of Daesong, and everyone's face is terrified.

But the giant ship that sank their warships ignored them, passed by them, and chased the remaining two Goryeo warships.

"Good, good fight, so relieved."

The Daesong fishermen who were originally fleeing stopped their fishing boats.

Standing on the bow, they danced with excitement.

These Goryeo people's hands were stained with the blood of so many Daesong fishermen, and finally someone took care of them.

Although they didn't know who the owners of these warships were.

But they knew that these giant ships would not hurt them.

Some old fishermen even shed tears.

This sea is the sea of ​​Daesong.

They fished and caught pearls in their own sea, but they were bullied and hunted by Goryeo.

No amount of words can describe this humiliation.

"Thank you, thank you!"

The fishermen knelt down on the boat and kowtowed to the giant ship.

On the warship, Zhao Xu saw this scene.

He felt very uncomfortable.

These fishermen are his people. On land, they are always threatened by Beidi and bullied by Goryeo at sea.

In the past, when there were no warships, he was powerless.

But in the future, he will never let them suffer any grievances.

Goryeo owes them debts, and he will get them back.

"Trap, trap!"

While the fishermen of Dasong were overjoyed, the Goryeo warships fell into chaos.

Lieutenant General Li's legs trembled constantly, and he murmured.

The thunder-like sound made him completely panic.

That was a cannon. Beidi showed them the power of this cannon when he was in Goryeo.

Kim Tae-hee's face turned pale, but he still remained calm and kept urging them to retreat.

"It must be the warship of King Yan." Kim Tae-hee narrowed his eyes.

"No matter who it is, we are definitely not their opponent. Let's run away." Li Fu shouted: "Paddle faster, row faster!"

But everything was destined to be in vain.

The giant ship was very fast and caught up with them in an incense stick of time.

When the giant ship was parallel to them, Jin Taixi and Li Fu fell into great panic.

They saw many people appear on the deck of the giant ship, standing in a row, pointing their guns at them.

Then, the muzzles of the cannons on the side of the warship spewed out flames.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Bang bang bang..."

The attack of the giant ship came clean and decisive.

"Ah..."

"Help..."

"..."

The shells penetrated the hull of the Goryeo warship, and the Goryeo soldiers who were rowing in the cabin were hit, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

On the deck, the Goryeo soldiers were also miserable.

Under the shooting of the flintlock, the Goryeo soldiers were hit with blood holes and fell in a pool of blood.

On the sailing warship, Zhao Xu sat steadily on the deck.

Arrows fired by the Goryeo archers during the counterattack flew from time to time.

The sound of cannons and gunfire continued. After one round of shooting, the artillery continued to load for the second round of shooting.

However, after only one round of shooting, the boatmen in the cabin of the building ship were basically killed or injured.

"Boom boom..."

Another round of volleys, solid shells penetrated the ship's planks along the muzzle like tofu, and the shells entered the cabin and destroyed everything in the cabin. The frightened Goryeo boatmen were constantly knocked away by the shells, and blood was like ink all over the bottom of the cabin.

"Bang bang..."

The shooting on the deck continued. At this time, the Goryeo soldiers were completely in a panic and were constantly killed by flintlocks. Some soldiers jumped into the sea because they were too scared, and some soldiers were scared to hide everywhere, and some soldiers knelt on the deck and chose to surrender.

"Spare my life, spare my life, we surrender." Lieutenant General Li's pants were wet.

They were almost scared to death by being bombarded at such a close distance.

Jin Zhengxi was smashed into pieces by a shell in the first round of bombardment.

He didn't want to be like him!

Zhou Yi had been commanding the battle and saw that Goryeo generals and soldiers surrendered one after another.

He told Zhao Xu about this situation.

Zhao Xu nodded. He needed to capture a few Goryeo generals to understand the current situation in Goryeo.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

After receiving the order, Zhou Yi shouted at the Goryeo soldiers on the tower ship, and at the same time a flag with "Those who surrender will not be killed" was raised.

Seeing this flag, more Goryeo soldiers knelt on the deck and chose to surrender.

Goryeo has always used the Dasong language. Although the soldiers speak differently from the Dasong, some people who can read can still understand the language.

After several rounds of bombardment, the tower ship has lost power and can only wait to die.

Not long after, Zhou Yi ordered people to lower the rope ladder and command the soldiers to detain the surrendered Goryeo soldiers on board.

"Go, go!"

The crew held the Goryeo soldiers with flintlock rifles and took them into the cabin for custody.

There were more than 400 soldiers on the two ships, and now less than 70 of them are alive, most of them died under the bombardment and flintlock.

At this time, the surrendered Goryeo soldiers were like frightened rabbits, with dull eyes and trembling bodies.

There was no more ferocity when they chased the fishermen of Dasong.

"Your Highness, the prisoners are here." Zhou Yi pointed at the Goryeo soldiers kneeling on the ground and said.

Zhao Xu nodded and asked, "Who among you can speak the language of Dasong?"

Because Goryeo was once a vassal state of Dasong, Goryeo characters and other languages ​​are similar to those of Dasong. Goryeo people know Dasong characters and some can speak Dasong language.

As soon as he finished speaking, a general-like person said, "I, I can!"

Zhou Yi immediately brought the Goryeo generals to Zhao Xu.

"Who is the king of Goryeo now?" Zhao Xu asked.

For him, he could not leave the lifeblood of the trade of the four northern counties to his father Zhao Heng and the powerful families of Dasong.

After all, Zhao Heng exposed his weakness in front of the Northern Di envoys last time.

It is not impossible to suppress him in trade for some interests.

And the powerful families have already given him problems in trade.

So, he cannot put all his bets on the domestic market of Dasong.

That is why he established an armed caravan.

Now that the fleet is built and the armed caravan has its own claws, it is time to compete with Goryeo, Japan and the Liang family for the maritime trade hegemony in this area.

Among these three families, Goryeo is obviously the fattest sheep closest to Yanzhou.

After this war, he will turn Goryeo into a place for exporting goods and a source of slaves for the four northern counties.

In this way, the people of the four northern counties can be liberated from the heavy labor of mining, engineering, and transportation, and put into agriculture and industry.

Zhao Xu was thinking, and Lieutenant General Li said tremblingly, "Our king's surname is Park, his name is Park In-hee, and he has been on the throne for sixteen years."

Zhao Xu nodded and continued to ask, "How many people are there in your navy? How many warships are there?"
