Chapter 768: Shelling

And Li Yang's fleet of thirteen ships is definitely super, and ordinary ships are afraid of it, let alone dare to step forward to provoke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The fleet swaggered north, and on the eighth day, it saw a black horizon in the distance.

"Lord, it's time to arrive." Chen Gouyu looked at it a few times and said affirmatively.

The fleet is far away from the coast, and it has been half a month since the spies were notified to spread the news, and I believe that the news of the arrival of the fleet should have spread near Seoul seven or eight days ago, and now the ship is well supplied, and it is not at all in a hurry to search, and if you see a large town along the coast, you can go up and do business.

After two days of searching, nothing was found, except for some small fishing villages, and just when everyone was a little anxious, a city on the shore in the distance slowly revealed its shape.

"I've finally seen a decent town." Li Yang sighed that it is really difficult to see a town with a concentration in this era.

The fleet slowly approached the formation and headed towards the town.

This town is built by the water, and there is no walled wall, it is estimated that it is not of great use to know that it is encircled, but the continuous houses show that this should be a prosperous place, and there are also two stone piers extending into the sea in the section of the water, so I don't know the depth of the water in the bay, Li Yang did not dare to anchor in these unknown harbors at will, not because he was afraid of enemy attacks, but in case the tide ran aground, if the bottom of the ship was damaged by the reef on the bottom of the seabed, it would be troublesome.

Putting down the three dinghys, the pioneer Luo Yang rowed to the shore with a team of sailors, first touching the bottom of the town to see the extent of the war.

As the dinghy approached the harbor, it became clear to the people on board that there was a mess in the harbor, and that many of the small sailboats had raised their sails and seemed to be trying to flee from the harbor, while many soldiers dressed in uniform had gathered on the shore, took out their bows and arrows, and smeared them with fire oil. This situation is like a chaotic ant nest, with worker ants rushing in a panic and soldier ants spreading their teeth and claws.

Luo Yang took out the white flag that had been prepared long ago, and approached the shore while waving it, at this time the distance was still far away, and the shouting could not be heard, and the translator who knew the local language of Seoul on the boat could not be used.

Just as the dinghy was slowly approaching the harbor, some city defense soldiers who had already applied fire oil at this time lit the strips of cloth on the arrows, stood in a row, and shot out at the three boats together.

More than 30 arrows in the air drew more than 30 trajectories and floated towards everyone. Everyone on the dinghy cursed in their hearts: I really don't know whether to live or die. The people held the shields prepared on the boat and raised them high above their heads to defend themselves.

The distance was long, the sea was windy, and the target of the boat was small, and dozens of arrows all missed. But this provocative behavior has been clearly seen by Li Yang, who has been paying attention to the situation from afar.

"A group of brainless guys, no wonder Seoul was beaten by Goryeo and couldn't find the north!" Li Yang scolded.

Chen Gouyu, who was next to him, knew what he meant, and immediately ordered: "The clippers formed an artillery formation and fired a salvo towards the port." ā€

The bird-type clippers that circled the four sides of the ship quickly left the ship and gathered in a long line to the west, rowing a large arc and heading east.

Seeing the movements of his own fleet, Luo Yang knew that this was the preparation for the shelling, so he immediately stopped the boat and rowed back towards the way he came.

In half an hour, all this was done, and a flotilla of birds with half-sails on the sloops crossed the small harbor in an elegant arc, and in a moment the ship's guns fired.

This was the first time Li Yang had led a fleet to the far north, and he did not intend to keep his hands, and two catties of solid shells could not kill many people, and the deterrent effect on people was far greater than the lethal force.

Eight clippers, with forty guns on the side of the seaboard, fired one after another, but in a matter of minutes, the people in the harbor seemed to be as long as a century.

After the use of granular gunpowder, the sound of cannons became rapid and sharp, and when the sound of cannonballs arrived, it was followed by the whistling of cannonballs across the air, smashing into various buildings in towns and harbors.

After a round of shelling, while everyone in the town was clenching their fists and waiting for the next storm, the expected blow did not come.

Half an hour later, not far from the harbor, a gorgeously dressed man reacted and shouted in a hissing voice: "Damn, what are you still stunned for, hurry up and pull out the white flag and signal to the other party!" ā€

Looking at the white flags that were flying from all over the city, Li Yang nodded with satisfaction.

When Luo Yang landed and figured out the hydrological situation of the port, he sent soldiers back to the flagship to inform him of the situation in the port. Under the groan, Li Yang ordered five Fu ships to anchor and dock in the open sea, while eight bird ships approached the port in turn.

Li Yang also docked with the Flying Bird Ship, and Chen Gouyu naturally stayed on the Fu Ship in case of accidents.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and Li Yang slowly stepped off the springboard in the still scorching sun. A middle-aged man stepped forward with a smile on his face, and under the gaze of the guards around him, the man bowed deeply: "Respected guest, I am this chief Pu Xiang, I don't know where the distinguished guest comes from and has any advice." ā€

Luo Yang was very measured, and after he went ashore, he did not fully disclose his information, only said that he was a member of the Dakang people, and the city lord who could not get complete information naturally stepped forward to ask the big boss Li Yang again.

"Brother Pu doesn't have to be polite, I'm from the Central Plains, and I'm here to do some business." The self-owned translator 1510 passed the word over. Li Yang said in his heart that I am from the Central Plains, but you can guess for yourself where it is.

At this time, the reputation of the Oriental Han Kingdom was not obvious, and Park Xiang naturally thought that Li Yang was from Dakang, and suddenly changed to a look of enlightenment and righteous indignation: "I said that Dakang will not ignore it, everyone submits to the majesty of the Celestial Empire, but the Goryeo people dare to attack my Goguryeo Kingdom at will, it is really hateful!"

"Hehe, it's a joke, I'm just a businessman, but I see that Brother Park has the heart to serve the country with his fists, and this place is still outside the attack range of Goryeo, so I do have some good things to help you strengthen your strength."

Park Xiang only listened to it, although it was extremely embarrassing to be shelled before, but there was not much actual loss, since the other party had no malicious intent, it was already a blessing, and what good things could the other party provide when he heard this tone.

"If the city lord is interested, you can come on board with me to have a look." Li Yang stretched out his hand to invite.

looked at the tiger and wolf soldiers around Li Yang, and then turned his head to look at his own guards in the distance, the gap is quite obvious, if others want to harm themselves, do they need to make a special set......

Thinking of this, City Lord Park also followed Li Yang very simply and got on one of the bird ships.
