After sailing for about half an hour, Shi Lang discovered from the telescope that the sea in front of him was densely packed with ships. He quickly shook the small flag and uttered the flag to the soldiers on the deck: "I discovered the target, one hundred miles northeastward!"

Shi Fu ordered the soldiers at the helm to turn the steering wheel and sail in the direction guided by Shi Lang.

The Princess Kunxing ran fast, galloping on the sea like the wind, facing the North Korean Navy's sailing. Her speed was eighteen knots, while the North Korean Navy's speed was only five knots, and the relative speed of both sides was twenty-three knots, which was 42 kilometers per hour, which was equivalent to 168 miles per hour.

The two sides are one hundred miles apart, and after about half an hour, both sides can see each other with their naked eyes.

The Korean Navy's speed was very slow, only a mere five knots, because the heavy turtle ships in the Korean Navy were too slow.

Shi Lang continued to monitor the navy opposite in the sky. After about forty-five minutes, he reached out and twisted the switch and closed the stove valve. The flames went out, and the air in the hot air balloon gradually cooled down, and the hot air balloon slowly lowered its height.

Seeing the hot air balloon that his nephew was riding lowered, Shi Fu shouted: "Pull it back!"

While the hot air balloon was descending, Shi Lang was still staring at the opposite Korean navy, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. When the hot air balloon he was riding was pulled back to the deck by the sailors, Shi Fu, who was standing on the helm, also saw the mast on the sea through the telescope.

"The left rudder is 12 degrees, sail at full speed!" Shi Fu shouted.

Shi Lang jumped out of the hanging basket and immediately stood on the side of the ship, preparing to direct the gunners to fight.

"Open the gun door on the left and load the ammunition!" Shi Lang put down the telescope and shouted.

The two sides were getting closer and closer. Standing on the Kunxing Princess, you could clearly see a large black shadow of ships on the opposite sea.

At the center of the Qing Dynasty Navy Fleet, Shuosai was standing on the top floor of the ship, holding a monocular telescope and looking towards the southwest waters. Suddenly, he found that the shadow of a boat appeared in the opposite waters.

"There is a boat over there!" Shuosai shouted in the direction where he found the boat.

The North Korean navy general Park Xingtong beside him shouted: "There are enemy ships over there, be ready for battle!"

The two sides were getting closer and closer. The Koreans saw that there was only a lonely ship on the sea about fifteen miles away from them. However, the ship did not look like the ship of the Ming Navy, but a white sail and a completely white ship.

"Red Barbarian Ship?" Park Xingtong shouted.

Shuo Sai was stunned: "Red-Bao Ship? What kind of red-Bao Ship? It's obviously a white ship, why are the red-Bao Ship?"

Park Xingtong explained: "The red barbarian ship is the ship of the red barbarians. It is the same as the red barbarian cannons. They are all things of the red barbarians. It is said that the red barbarian ships are as big as mountains, and each ship has hundreds of giant cannons, which is extremely powerful. But there is only one red barbarian ship. I guess they are coming to our North Korea to do business? It should be a cargo ship full of silver."

In the past, North Korea and Japan, there were occasionally Western ships coming, and they were all cargo ships coming to do business. Westerners introduced ceramics and silk from China. Similarly, many Western ships went to Japan and South Korea to buy ceramics and silk. Although the quality of Japanese and Korean porcelain is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty, their freight to the West is also a luxury item, and the price of Japanese and Korean ceramics and silk is cheap.

In addition, Western ships often purchase silver from Japan and then transport it to the Ming Dynasty for goods exchange.

The Princess Kunxing appeared opposite, because the ship was covered with white soft sails and a pointed-headed ship with a white body, so the North Koreans mistakenly thought it was a cargo ship from the West.

"Since it is a cargo ship of Hongmaoyi, send them a signal and let them take a detour." Shuosai said.

A flag was issued on the turtle ship. Several fast ships in front of the North Korean fleet saw the flag, so they issued a flag in the direction of the Kunxing Princess, asking them to bypass their fleet from the left.

Who knew that after the North Koreans sent out the banner, the ship opposite not only did not turn, but rushed straight towards its own fleet.

"Prince, Hongmaoyi doesn't seem to understand our banner." said a Goshha.

Shuose ordered Park Xingtong: "Send a few clutches to lean on and ask questions!"

"Zhe!" Park Xingtong knelt on the ground and beat him up.

On the Princess Kunxing, all the gun doors were opened in the deck of the artillery, and the fire was burning in the stove. The gunmen first stuffed a wooden board into the cannon chamber, then used fire tongs to pick up the red and hot shells, put them in the muzzle, and then used the push rod to push the shells into it.

With Shi Fu's order, Princess Kunxing came over and faced the three North Korean Clippers who were coming at full speed.

"Their gun doors are all open!" A North Korean sailor screamed in horror on the turtle boat.

Shuose picked up the telescope and saw that the gun door on the side of the "Red Barbarian Ship" was fully opened, and a cannon extended its muzzle from the gun door, facing his own direction.

"Boom boom boom boom" There was a roar of cannons sounding on the sea surface. Looking from the turtle ship, I saw a flash of lightning flashing across the side of the "Red Barbarian Ship", and white smoke filled the "Red Barbarian Ship". The roaring shells flew towards the Korean Navy's clutch.

A series of water columns rose from the sea, and shells hit the North Korean navy's clutch's clutch. A clutch hit three shells in a row. The shells fell into the cabin. The red and hot shells immediately ignited the debris piled on the ship and ignited flames. After the shells smashed a wooden board, the flying wooden board hit the head of a North Korean sailor. The North Korean head shattered like a watermelon.

Both Clippers were all shot and flames ignited. One of them was penetrated below the waterline and began to enter.

Princess Kunxing quickly turned and pointed the gun door on the other side at the North Korean Clippers. Then there was another row of roaring guns, and the two North Korean Clippers began to sink in the blazing fire.

Shi Lang shouted: "Continue to load and burn the bullets!"

The gunners behind the gun door nervously cleaned the barrel, cooled the barrel, then loaded the charge pack, then stuffed the hot shells into the barrel, and then pushed them to the bottom with the push rod. The gunners who had completed the loading pulled the handle of the four-wheeled gun truck, and only heard a "clang" sound. The four-wheeled gun truck automatically reset under the action of gravity, and the muzzle extended out of the gun door.

"Prepare to aim at the enemy's boat and fire!" Shi Lang shouted.

Shifu ordered almost at the same time: "Go ahead at full speed and pass through the enemy boats!"

Princess Kunxing passed through the middle of the North Korean Navy's fleet at full speed. When six small boats on both sides surrounded, the artillery inside the gun doors on both sides of Princess Kunxing almost spit out flames at the same time.

"Boom boom boom" Princess Kunxing is like a fire hedgehog spitting out flames. Both sides are whizzing fire at the same time. The whistling shells roar towards six North Korean boats more than a hundred steps away. The distance is so close that almost all the shells hit.

Although the four-pound cannon shells were not powerful enough for large ships, hitting these small sampans was a flash. Accompanied by a roaring cannon, wood chips flew across the six North Korean boats, the boards were broken, the cabin was directly penetrated, and the flesh and blood of the six small boats flew across the cabin, a large body fell from the cabin, but none of them was sunk.

"Hurry up, get up and capture it!" Shuosai shouted anxiously.

The large group of Korean boats rushed out of the fleet and rushed towards Princess Kunxing. But they were frightened to find that the "Red Barbarian Ship" was too fast and it was like flying. The Korean boat had no chance to get close. When the distance was very close, they watched the "Red Barbarian Ship" slide past them like a slippery loach.
