    On May 11, the inspection fleet moved north from Shengsi Island, with two warships with 200 rations as the forerunners, followed five miles behind by 11 main warships with 500 rations.  The remaining small boats were also divided into two groups, eight of which were in the lead, and most of them passed with the main force.

    After Zhu Xianjian died in a tragic defeat the year before last, master practitioner Wang Shouyu woke up from the fog of worshiping Confucianism and went to Taoism. He realized that the so-called "Confucian Kung Fu" was just a glove created by a certain Taoist sect. Just throw it away after use.  The foundation of spiritual practice is still Taoism.

    After being delisted from Chaotian Palace, knowing that he was far from comparable to Zhao Ran in terms of fighting skills and power, Wang Shouyu finally gave up and spent the whole day rethinking the Taoist skills to get his way back to the right path.  Been honest for a year and a half.

    Lu Xixing asked him to join the inspection fleet, so he could only accept it honestly, hoping to make some achievements so that he could change his ways and not be obsessed with revenge by the powerful Abbot Zhao.

    Although he joined the inspection fleet late, he is already a highly qualified person. He can be promoted to a master by practicing the so-called Confucian exercises. His intelligence is evident. Therefore, after more than two months of training at sea, his performance is getting better and better. This  This time, he was finally promoted to a vanguard officer by Li Dayin, who went ahead to explore the way for the army.

    He knew that his task as a pioneer officer was not to charge into the battle, but to find the three pirate ships that had invaded Dongzhongsuo and Clam Harbor. Therefore, he lined up the ten ships under his command, two miles apart from each other, forming an east-west line.  The search zone, which is nearly twenty miles long, keeps in touch with the infinite rosette above the head at all times, advancing steadily northward.

    On the third day, the fleet arrived in the waters of Clam Port. Zhou Keli and Ling Congyunluo landed in the port, asked the Qianhu who guarded the city again about the situation of the invading ships, and then continued north.

    On the fifth day of the boat trip, when they arrived at the waters of Dongzhongsuo, Zhou Keli and Ling Congyun in the sky discovered five extremely small black spots on the sea. After slightly descending, they finally distinguished them as five boats, one of which seemed to be slightly larger.  , four ships are slightly smaller.

    They don¡¯t dare to go down any further. If they go down any further, they will easily be discovered by the other party. Even the current height is already quite dangerous.  Once discovered, it will easily arouse the other party's vigilance. If it is timid, it may immediately speed up and escape, making it difficult to catch up in the sea.

    Zhou Keli immediately flew a talisman to Wang Shouyu: "Wang Lianshi, we have found a suspicious target. There are five ships in total, one big and four small, about thirty miles in front of your troops."

    "Five ships? Not three? Can you identify the size of the ships?"

    "Master Yun has no cover, and he may be discovered if he goes down."

    "Understood, continue to monitor."

    Wang Shouyu immediately flew to Li Dayin to ask for instructions. Li Dayin immediately ordered: speed up your troops to the front to intercept, and wait for the main force to catch up and attack from front to back.

    After receiving the clear order, Wang Shouyu gathered the leading fleet and sailed toward the open sea for two hours. Then he installed wind charms on each ship and drove them quickly with the wind charms, heading north.

    Chasing and setting up ambush at sea is a long process, and the competition is often about patience. Although the inspection fleet is young, it also knows the truth. Wang Shouyu communicates with the Zhou Keli flying talisman in the sky from time to time to adjust the direction of his sailing.

    A maximum of one stick of incense can be used for each wind talisman, and after about a quarter of an hour, use one as soon as you finish using it to ensure that you are always moving forward with full wind.  When the wind direction changes or the ocean currents are contrary to each other, you must add wind talismans, and activate two or three at the same time.

    Chasing until evening, Zhou Keli sent a flying talisman: "Your fleet and the suspected enemy ship are heading north in parallel, about fifteen miles apart. Please maintain the course. The main force of the fleet is twenty miles southwest of your troop. It is already dark, and the general  The commander advises you to slow down the ship, keep the course unchanged, and contact us at 4:00 tomorrow."

    Wang Shouyu replied: "Known."

    The infinite rosette slowly retreated into the sunset. Wang Shouyu withdrew his gaze and ordered the flying talismans of each ship: "Get closer to my ship."

    The remaining nine warships of the leading fleet, large and small, approached Wang Shouyu's ship. It took nearly half an hour to complete the formation change. They were about fifty feet apart, and the ship's speed also slowed down.

    Wang Shouyu ordered: "Measure the speed."

    Immediately, a sailor dropped a piece of wood at the carved line on the bow. When the piece of wood touched the water, he cut the string and gave the order: "Run!"

    A sailor waiting beside him at the engraved line immediately ran to the stern of the ship. When he reached the waist of the ship, the observer here urged: "Hurry up."

    The runner speeded up and ran toward the stern of the ship. When he reached the engraved line at the stern, he arrived at the same time as the wood chips.

    The observer at the stern of the ship shouted: "Update!"

    The sailor next to him immediately sealed the middle insert of the hourglass to find out the time.  The time from the bow mark to the stern mark is the speed of the ship.

    If the runner arrives first and no update can be called,Those who arrived late had to be re-measured because they were too late. The training of the inspection fleet was relatively hard, so it was a success the first time.

    The ship's speed was quickly reported, three out of ten.  The first watch is sixty miles, and the ship's speed is eighteen miles per hour.

    Wang Shouyu ordered: "Send down again."

    When sea-going ships travel at night, they usually reduce their speed to less than two-tenths of a second or even anchor to prevent them from running aground.  The inspection fleet is chasing a suspected pirate fleet. Because it has to get in front of the enemy, it cannot anchor the ship and can only continue to move forward.

    The first -aid boat was drawn as an arrow in the front. The captain was a monk Jin Dan, controlled a round mirror -like magic weapon, and hit the beam towards the front. The beam can inspect the distance of about 30 feet. You can find the reef in advance.

    The gunners and sergeants were asked to sleep in the cabin, and the sailors were divided into two shifts to operate the ship. After an hour, according to the usual drill, the arrow ship gave up its position and retreated to the right side. The first ship on the left pushed forward and acted as  Arrow, Captain Huang Guan took the magic weapon and continued to explore.

    At the fourth quarter of Yin hour, Wang Shouyu suddenly received a flying talisman from Li Dayin: "We encountered an enemy ship. There is no doubt that the pirates are fighting. I order you to form an interception line behind the enemy to prevent the pirates from escaping."

    Wang Shouyu immediately sent an order to prepare for battle. Judging the direction based on the position of the stars, the fleet turned to the west, turned on the wind talisman, and accelerated to six tenths.

    The speed of sailing in the middle of the night is quite dangerous, and there are many rocks in the offshore area. If you encounter one, it will be difficult to avoid it. However, the military situation is urgent, and Wang Shouyu doesn't care about it. He personally rushes to the arrow ship, always ready to attack with his cultivation level of the Master Refiner.  reef.

    When a reddish color appeared in the east, Wang Shouyu ordered the ship to stop and wait for the next order.

    The red sun jumped out of the sea. Zhou Keli took off again and sent a flying talisman from the infinite rosette: "Commander Wang, I saw you! Three enemy ships are escaping. You should head northwest to intercept them."

    Wang Shouyu quickly ordered the fleet to turn around and asked about the results of the night battle. Zhou Keli replied: "Two enemy ships were sunk, one of which cost 300 yuan."

    Wang Shouyu immediately circulated the battle report to the entire army, and enthusiastic cheers erupted from the surrounding ships.
