Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    With the strong northwest wind as power, the punishment fleet completely offset the adverse effects of ocean currents. At nightfall on the 14th, it arrived at the Goto Islands, the westernmost territory of Japan.  And successfully found Huangdao, which I had visited earlier.

    Huangdao is a small island located southeast of Fujiang Island, the main island of the Five Islands. There were originally dozens of fishermen living there, but Wang Rulong led a team to clean up the outer sea and arrested more than a dozen families on the island.  The dozen or so families who escaped did not dare to come back, so it was a suitable place to connect with the Tang people who had taken refuge in the agency.

    Several small galleys had been waiting in the bay to the north of Huangdao. When they saw fire signals on the sea, they quickly rowed out of the bay.

    The 406 speedboat cruising around the fleet soon discovered them. After verifying their identities, the leaders were sent to the flag boat.  Ma Yinglong asked about the situation on Fujiang Island and learned that dozens of ships, large and small, were in the harbor.  Wang Rulong immediately made a decisive decision, and Zhang Manfan went straight to the lair of the Five Island Navy.

    At the fourth watch, the fleet arrived at the harbor at the mouth of the Fukue River. Through the lights on the shore, a small castle could be seen, located next to the trumpet-shaped mouth of the river.

    The Tang people who led the way said that the Yujiu family was usually reluctant to light so many lights.  But because it was widely rumored that the Ming Dynasty's fleet was coming to retaliate, the family governor Chunyao ordered that thousands of pine torches be lit at the dock and Jiangchuan City after nightfall, illuminating the river mouth as bright as day to prevent surprise landings by Ming ships.

    But how far can the torch shine at this time?  As long as the fleet does not land, the eyes of the people on the shore will be darkened and they will not be able to see anything.

    However, the people on the boat were able to use their telescopes to see through the firelight on the shore that the pier was under the castle, with all kinds of ships, large and small, moored.  It can even be seen that the ships are mainly Japanese Kansune and Kozaya, with some Chinese sailing ships as well.

    "Stupid location selection." On the deck of the flagship poop, Wang Rulong put down his telescope and snorted contemptuously.  The Ujiu family actually chose an open river mouth with no cover. As the naval garrison, I really don't know how to write the word "death".

    "I guess it's because we are far away from the mainland, and we don't have to worry about anyone attacking." Brother Helge on the side laughed and said, "It's too careless."

    "It's probably because we came too few. If we come a few more times, they will learn a lesson." Mr. Zhao on the other side said quietly.

    "Yes, my subordinates will always urge them to make progress in the future." Wang Rulong laughed ferociously and said to Brother Haier in a deep voice: "Act according to plan A!"

    "Yes!" Brother Haier put his legs together, immediately got off the deck, and went to the wheelhouse to give orders.

    The orderly soldier passed the order through the ship's light, and soon all the warships began to turn the rudder with difficulty.  The battleships formed a line of formation with their sides facing the dock, while small ships and speedboats moved to the wings for protection, ready to fend off enemy ships that rushed out upon discovering the situation.

    As for the five supply ships, they stayed obediently behind the battleships. In fact, they also possessed overwhelming terrifying firepower in this sea area.  However, according to battlefield discipline, supply ships should always focus on self-protection. Unless the captain judges that it is a life-or-death situation, participating in the battle without authorization will be punished as a disciplinary violation.

    In addition, there is another ship behind, which is the 101 ship.  Although there is no provision for the flagship to avoid fighting, there is Mr. Zhao on board

    Wang Rulong didn¡¯t dare to make any mistakes.

    ??~~

    At dawn, the fleet had already lined up four hundred meters away from the dock and six hundred meters away from Jiangchuan City.  Twenty battleships lined up offshore, forming a thousand-meter-long battle line.

    In fact, there is no need for such a big battle to deal with a small Yujiu clan. Everything is just a rehearsal for the ¡®hunting operation¡¯.

    After getting into position, each ship began to fire freely.  However, it was not the cannon that fired first, but the Ming army's traditional program - 'Sacred Fire and Flying Crows'!

    This thing was not sent by Zhao Shizhen, but made by Jinke Wang Rulong and others.  When he first fought against the Japanese, Qi Jiguang used various firearms to attack the Japanese, and the 'Shenhuo Flying Crow' was one of them that was easier to make and more powerful.

    This object looks like a crow and is made of thin bamboo or reed. It is filled with gunpowder and can also be coated with grease.  There are two "fire starters" on each side of the crow's body. The bottom of the "fire starter" cartridge is connected to the gunpowder bag inside the crow's body with a medicine line.  In combat, the thrust of 'Fire' can be used to shoot flying crows up to two hundred paces.  When the flying crow lands, the gunpowder inside is ignited and the whole thing burns.  It is a weapon that can set houses on fire and burn warships.

    "The gunpowder standardized by Jiangnan Group is much purer than that of the army and has been granulated.  After increasing the 'fire' charge, the thrust of the Divine Fire Flying Crow can reach 400 meters before falling, which is perfect for attacking warships parked at the dock.

    It is said that there is also a "fire dragon out of water" similar to a two-stage rocket, which can even hit one or two miles away. Unfortunately, it is an undisclosed secret of the navy, and Qi Jiajun does not know how to make it.

    ?????????????????????????????????, he unfolded a small folding fan, fanning the wind, and pointed to the outside of the city lightly: "Look, the people of the Ming Dynasty were still too timid to get off the boat, and they missed the best opportunity. Now our people  We can retreat into the city calmly without leaving any food or supplies for them.¡±

    "Ani is right, as long as Jiangchuan City is here, we can still revive the Goto navy!" Ujiu Xuanya never forgets to excuse herself.

    "Huh." Yujiuchunyao glanced at him angrily, thinking that even if you don't have a caesarean section, you still have to go home to apologize.  But this was not the time to care about this, so he asked how many soldiers were left in the city.

    ????????? In fact, he is just a township chief, and all his troops are navy troops. At this time, they have been reduced to 7788, and there are only about 200 soldiers left.  However, the Japanese soldiers and civilians united as one and immediately issued weapons to farmers between the ages of 12 and 40. He immediately had two thousand ashigaru.

    The main reason for reaching the age of forty is that there are almost no farmers over the age of forty

    ps. No one will look after the children for a few days after the holiday, so there is really no way to do it three times. Fortunately, the holiday will be over soon.  There are two updates today, and I will try to write more tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
