Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the inspection fleet occupied Luoye Island, the attack by the pirate alliance suddenly began.

    On September 16, Yin Zhanlong's flag suddenly appeared in the waters near Linbo Island. When they advanced to thirty miles away from the island, this fleet of more than a hundred pirate ships was spotted by the infinite rosette patrolling the sea.  Discover.

    Zhou Keli and Ling Congyun drove the infinite rosette to harass high altitudes while flying to report the squadron stationed on Linbo Island.

    Linbo Island is just a small island, and the inspection fleet only placed a dozen ships here. There are no big ships, so they can't go to war. So all the nearby ships rushed into the harbor to take shelter, relying on the 500 defenders and 30 monks on the shore to stand ready.  .

    Yin Shunlong's large ship was also unable to enter the harbor. He sent a large number of small boats to besiege the inspection fleet ships in the harbor. The battle was fierce.

    The next morning, the nearest inspection fleet of more than 60 large and small warships rushed to Linbo Island. The two sides fought a battle and each lost seven or eight ships. Yin Shunlong led the pirate fleet to evacuate.

    The inspection fleet followed Yin Shunlong for fifty miles until the end of the Shen Dynasty.  In order to prevent being ambushed, we broke away from contact before dark and returned to Linbo Island.

    On September 24, more than 200 ships of the pirate alliance boarded the container fleet departing from Daleishan Island.  Due to the large scale of the escorting inspection fleet, which included several thousand-material double-deck warships, the pirate alliance did not dare to attack rashly. The two sides were more than ten miles apart and accompanied each other for two days.

    When they were about to approach Linbo Island, both sides received reinforcements. On the pirate side, Zhang Zheng led his ships to join in. There were more than 300 large and small ships and an escort fleet of more than 160 ships.

    Yin Xunlong and Zhang Zheng judged that their side had the advantage, so they ordered an attack.

    This naval battle was very large-scale and fierce. The pirates once again used fire attack ships to attack the container fleet, burning four ships and achieving considerable results.

    However, in the duel between warships, the pirate ships with the numerical advantage encountered a tough opponent. They were beaten horribly by the thousand-material double-deck warships and the five-hundred-material warships in the escort fleet. More than ten ships were sunk on the spot.  Eight ships were injured, and only four sailors of the convoy were sunk and three patrol ships were damaged and withdrawn from the battle.

    Realizing the disparity in combat power between the two warships, Yin Shunlong and Zhang Zheng immediately ordered a retreat.  The escort fleet gave up the pursuit after expelling it ten miles away, and turned back to continue to cover the container fleet heading to Luoye Island.

    It is worth mentioning that the two flying magic weapons present played a key role. The thunder and explosion magic weapon was used in the naval battle, sinking and damaging one pirate ship each.

    Luo Zhiqing created a new method of warfare in the chaos. He fell onto a pirate ship with the help of a long rope, and unexpectedly beheaded the two yellow-crowned monks on the ship with one sword. He then climbed back to Qingyu Baoying along the long rope.  In the ensuing battle, the pirate ship was also destroyed and sank to the bottom of the sea.

    After this battle, the pirates became cautious when encountering a convoy escorted by a fleet, and did not dare to attack easily.

    On October 5, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides again off Songmao Island. The cause was a night attack by pirates on Songmao Island.  Night battles are the most prone to chaos. Therefore, the sea pirates achieved a good battle-loss ratio in the battle with the inspection fleet. Both sides sank six ships each, which was almost equal to victory for the sea pirates.

    The reason why I say almost is that they retreated too late and were caught by the reinforcement ships of the inspection fleet that arrived. The battle started again the next afternoon. This time, the pirate ships lost more than ten ships, and the inspection fleet was only injured.  Four ships.

    However, the pirates also gained something. On October 15, a storm broke out at sea. The storm lasted for a day and night, causing six container ships to lose their way and separate from the brigade.  On the afternoon of the third day, they encountered pirates in the sea more than 230 miles east of Songmao Island. They were surrounded by swarming pirate ships. Two ships were sunk and four were captured. The losses were considerable.  .

    Generally speaking, the naval battles in the past two months have been in a stalemate. The pirates mainly attacked transportation lines and proactively pursued night battles, while the inspection fleet focused on consolidating the occupied islands and at the same time sought to consume as much sea power as possible during escort.  Kou.

    In short, on both sides, you fight yours and I fight mine, each claiming to have achieved significant results.

    In the joint meeting, Zhao Ran was also explaining to everyone the war that took place during this period. He said: "The current war situation is changing towards the way we expected. What the inspection fleet is least afraid of is a war of attrition. The more such battles are fought, the more  The situation becomes more advantageous.¡±

    Tang Yaozu asked: "When can the blockade be truly established and the western front where the pirates seek help be cut off?"

    Zhao Ran said: "Ships, a lot of warships! Therefore, Longqing's four-year shipbuilding plan is very important. While ensuring ten three-deck battleships with two thousand materials and fifty two-deck warships with one thousand materials as the main force, we also  Two hundred 500-material warships and the same number of patrol ships are needed, and even more wind speeds are needed.??.  Our bottom line is to completely trap the pirates, seize Ling'ao Island, and regain the East China Sea by the middle of next year.  Therefore, I hope that you will try your best to mobilize all your efforts and successfully complete the issuance of the third phase of Jinghai Pingkou Bonds.  "

    Just when Zhao Ran was paying close attention to a series of battles in the East China Sea and going all out to ensure that Chen Shandao had ships to fight, soldiers to mobilize, food to eat, and magic tools and talismans to use, he received an invitation.

    The invitation was sent from Chongde Hall in Sinan Prefecture, Guizhou, inviting Zhao Ran to attend the double cultivation ceremony in Zhiyuan.

    Yu Zhiyuan is getting married. The other party is a female cultivator from Luo Xin Cave of Sinan Mansion. She is also a Taoist priest. She is slightly younger than Yu Zhiyuan, forty-eight. It is said that she is the daughter of the master of Luo Xin Cave. She has always dreamed of it in her early years.  Achieving the golden elixir, it's a pity that he didn't even rush to the yellow crown realm.

    At this age, I saw it clearly and decided to find a couple to live a good life and experience what it was like to get married and have children.

    After receiving the invitation, Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief and was happy for Yu Zhiyuan. He hoped that this marriage would turn his attention to a normal life path and not be so decadent and over-the-top.

    As for the Double Cultivation Ceremony, Zhao Ran definitely wasn¡¯t in the mood or had the time to go. If he went, it would make Yu Zhiyuan unhappy, so why bother?

    ¡°Besides, Elder Yu didn¡¯t send the invitation to ask him to go, but to tell himself that he had already done the work.

    Zhao Ranren won¡¯t go, but the gift must be given. Just consider the friendship between you and Yu Zhiyuan to be over.

    "One mid-level magic weapon, two low-level magic weapons, one fourth-level earth flame golden light talisman, ten low-level talismans, eighty-eight taels of gold, eight hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver, and a Dadong Pearl.

    This gift is quite valuable to a Taoist monk.  Zhao Ranfei and Fu Qufenghe asked him to send his disciples from Dajun Mountain to Sinan Mansion to congratulate him. It was close there and would be convenient and trouble-free.

    After Qu Fenghe received the flying talisman, he thought for a while and called Feng Tang over: "You can't neglect your junior uncle's affairs. You can go and pay a visit."
