The waves were beating against the side of the ship one after another. Yunhao listened to the rise and fall of the waves while listening to the report of the majestic sea.
"They say that Zhang Zhongjian's hometown is in a place called Penghu. He also built a port called Luermen. Although he lost a lot of men today, he still has more than 20,000 people and no less than 400 large and small warships." Xiong Kuo Hai said, Liu Rengui marked it on the chart.
The nautical charts during the Tang Dynasty were very irregular. It can be said that before Yunhao went to sea, there was no such thing as a nautical chart. They all rely on the experience of old fishermen or old captains.
During these years in Liaodong, Li Wenzhong basically marked some of the nautical charts of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. But the charts of the East China Sea and South China Sea are still blank. The shape of Yizhou and Penghu were filled in by Yunhao. But Yunhao is not a navigator or a geographer after all. The approximate locations are all marked. As for the reefs and shoals, we can only rely on experienced fishermen and luck.
"The hydrology of Lu'ermen is complicated. It's easy for us to get in but difficult to get out." Yunhao said helplessly as he looked at the three-flat and four-out-of-round chart. In fact, because the draft is too deep, Yunhao has been sailing far away from the land or islands.
"We don't have many boats, and the confession says that there is fresh water in Luermen. Even if we want to, we can't trap them. What's more, we only have these two boats. It's not easy to block the vast sea!" Looking at it! Haitu, Li Wenzhong said helplessly.
"Commander! My subordinates think there is a fraud here!" Liu Rengui looked at the chart and said suddenly.
"You have no right to speak here!" Li Wenzhong glared at Liu Rengui, fearing that he would say something inappropriate and cause Yunhao's dissatisfaction.
"Let him speak!" Yunhao doesn't have the temper of other coaches. If under Li Jing or Li Ji, Liu Rengui spoke like this without being asked by the coach, he would be pushed out and beheaded without any nonsense.
"Commander! There are many islands and reefs around Lu'ermen. The sea water in such places is generally relatively shallow. If we want to get in, our big ship can only take advantage of the high tide when the water level is high. If we cannot evacuate in time before the tide recedes, It is very likely that we will be stranded in a place like Luermen. The pirates' ships are usually about ten feet long, with a draft much shallower than ours. Once we are stranded and unable to move, they can still sail freely. We will We have become a target, although our captain is not afraid of joining gangs.
But they can organize a fire ship attack, or send water ghosts to sneak into the water and sink our warships! "Liu Rengui didn't say any more, but everyone was trembling. If that happens, it will really make the whole world unstoppable. It seems that Chuan Da also has big difficulties.
"Liu Rengui said it well!" Yunhao glanced at Li Wenzhong. He had been practicing at sea for several years, but his mind was still thinking on land. This Liu Rengui is very good, with a sharp mind and quick eyes. After several years of experience, I am afraid he will become a famous sea general.
"It's all good teachings from the Marshal. I've been with the Marshal these days, and I've picked up some of the Marshal's aura!" Li Wenzhong hurriedly bowed and replied.
He is not afraid that Liu Rengui will take over his position. He has made enough of his official posts and financial achievements at sea over the years. It's time to return to Chang'an and find a job as an idle yamen official. The title of Marquis is firmly attached to his head. Seeing what your majesty means, having the title of Duke is just a dream. It's better to stay in peace and enjoy the rest of your life. I have long been tired of the bumpy days on the sea. Children on the Loess Plateau are always floating on the sea.
¡°No matter how flattering he is, this guy Li Wenzhong is definitely a good candidate to be an official. Yunhao smiled and nodded as acquiescence, and said to Liu Rengui: "Tell me, what should we do now?"
"I think it is not appropriate to attack now. Instead, we should delay! Zhang Zhongjian is far more uncomfortable than us now, and the boat is not as fast as ours. If you escape, you will definitely be overtaken, so we block the sea. Just don't give him a chance to escape! The confession said that they There are more than 20,000 people on the island. Although there is fresh water on the island. There is no problem in drinking water, but there is no way to plant land on the island. Even if you plant land, you will not be able to harvest it immediately, and it is impossible to feed tens of thousands of people." Liu Rengui looked at the sea. Tu said.
"You are right, this is indeed our best choice. But we can't do this!" Yunhao glanced at Liu Rengui.
Everyone doesn¡¯t understand, because what Liu Rengui said is indeed the best choice, why not follow Liu Rengui¡¯s strategy?
"In addition to tens of thousands of pirates on the island, there are also tens of thousands of people they robbed from Quanzhou. Although the specific number is not known, the number is at least 20,000. Guess what the pirates will eat after they have nothing to eat? Yunhao said looking at the sea outside the porthole window.
"They will eat!" Wang Zhe took a breath.
&nbs??It's still Li Wenzhong, because of his status, he didn't expect so much. As for Wang Zhe, he is just here to make soy sauce. He wished to be as safe as possible, as Li Jing's man. As long as he did the job ordered by Li Jing and expressed his loyalty to the court. Fight to the death for the Tang Dynasty? The fat official Wang would not risk his life easily.
"There is no need to wait for Yue Gong, we will enter Luermen at high tide tomorrow. Anyone who disobeys the order! Behead!" Yun Hao said decisively.
"Promise!" Seeing that Yunhao had made up his mind, everyone agreed in unison!
The sky is covered with flaming clouds. If you don¡¯t go out in the morning, the sunset will travel thousands of miles. It looks like the weather will be good tomorrow, suitable for fighting.
"Miyamoto-kun, we are in trouble now. Yunhao's two ships are too powerful, and the method we discussed may not work?" Zhang Zhongjian jumped off the ship in shock, and his first words when he saw Miyamoto Musashi who came to greet him were very depressing.
"How could it be like this?" Miyamoto Musashi was almost speechless when he saw Zhang Zhongjian, who was shirtless and wearing bamboo armor. Zhang Zhongjian has always been brave and fierce, and he has never worn bamboo armor. Not to mention, the huge Mo Dao in his hand that was regarded as life was also missing. And the warship when we came back was not the big ship when we went to sea.
"Yunhao's two ships are as big as mountains. If we approach about two hundred steps, we will be hit by the gunpowder fired from the ships. The gunpowder weapons are so powerful that as long as they hit the ship, it will be destroyed. We The gang-hopping tactics they used have completely failed. From now on, this sea will belong to the Tang Dynasty. I think it is better for us to escape to the open sea overnight." Zhang Zhongjian felt that he would stand here according to his original idea. What awaits him is death, not battle.
"But the walled city here has begun to take shape. In order to attract Yunhao here, we have suffered huge casualties. Besides, not all the warships that followed you out have been sunk, and many more will come back here to join us. Now. Withdraw like this?" Miyamoto Musashi's eyes widened, the cost of retreating now was too high. He didn't understand why Zhang Zhongjian, who had a violent temper and was so unruly, was so afraid of Yun Hao's two battleships. Could it be that those two battleships were really invincible?
"Even if it's repaired, give up. There are still people with the things here. Let's go quickly and go faster while the wind direction is right. Yunhao's big boat is not only big, but also very fast. If they catch up, it will be hopeless! "Zhang Zhongjian took a sip of wine and muttered. Rather than talking to Miyamoto Musashi, he was talking to himself.
Miyamoto Musashi's heart sank. It seemed that Zhang Zhongjian was frightened by Yunhao.
"Even if we return to Jiaozhi, we will still be overtaken by Yunhao. What should we do then? Run again?"
"We are not going back to Cochin. We are going all the way south. I heard that after sailing thousands of miles south, there will be a continent. There are many natives living on it! Let's go there."
"But that's just a legend!" Miyamoto Musashi was so anxious that he thought Zhang Zhongjian was crazy. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
