As soon as Yang Xianxian sent out the flying talisman, the two sides started shooting at each other. Because Yanji was blocked by the ship, the Fuzhou could only fire a row of French crossbows from the upper deck, smashing the tower and mast of the dragon gun ship into pieces.
Yin Shunlong stood on the bow of the ship and fired the crossbow himself. His speed alone was equivalent to that of two gun crews. He fired two crossbows in a very short period of time. One of them broke the mainmast of the Fuzhou, and the other broke off the main mast of the Fuzhou. The French crossbow heavy artillery was thrown into the sea, and three members of the artillery crew were killed on the spot.
Yang Xianxian knew his skill in gunnery and did not dare to let him continue to fire the crossbow. With a flick of his toe, two steel knives on the deck slashed Yin Shulong directly.
Yin Shunlong had no choice but to put down the French crossbow heavy cannon in his hand, and slapped the steel knife away with both hands.
Taking this opportunity, Yang Xianxian has jumped onto the Dragon Cannon ship, and the seventh team also rushed forward with the dare team.
Yin Zhanlong bared his teeth and smiled: "Baiban kid, it turns out to be you!"
Yang Xianxian replied: "Do you dare to fight again?"
Yin Zhanlong looked up to the sky and laughed: "I could beat you six years ago, so why should I be afraid today! Come on, let's see what new questions you have!"
Yang Xianxian knocked on the whiteboard and asked Yin Shunlong to choose a topic.
¡¡
It is said that the squadron commander Xiao Shan received the flying talisman, identified it clearly at the hatch, and immediately reported to Huang Bingyue: "General Counsel Huang, this is Xiao Shan. I found the ship of Yin Zhanlong, one of the four generals of Ling'ao Island, and confirmed that the third squadron is The main attack direction of the pirates is requesting reinforcements!"
After Huang Bingyue received the report, he no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the mobile fleet to continue marching north, passing the navy division's blueprint operation, and trying to reach the northwest entrance, and then find a way to locate it.
More than an hour later, according to the speed of travel, they should have arrived at the northwest entrance guarded by the Third Squadron, but there was no sound, indicating that they must have deviated from the direction.
There were ropes on the boats, and the ropes of several boats were taken out immediately. Everyone worked together to knot two long ropes about a mile long. Two patrol boats were released, one heading north and one heading south, dragging the rope at the front, but still could not find the third squadron.
Huang Bingyue gave Xiaoshan a flying talisman and asked him to find a way to send a fire talisman into the sky. The higher the better. Xiao Shan quickly replied that he had complied, but the mobile fleet still couldn't see any light.
Xiaoshan fired a few more Thunder Talisman, but Huang Bingyue also didn't hear any movement. This also showed that the direction the mobile fleet deviated was not as optimistic as they thought.
Just when Huang Bingyue was at a loss what to do, the monks from the Apparition Palace who accompanied the army made a suggestion to Huang Bingyue: Divide the mobile team into two groups, one group continues forward, and the other group goes to the right. After driving for two moments, they group again into the same group. The first group goes to the right, and after two moments, the third group is formed, and then the fourth group is formed.
When all ships move forward at the speed of three ten minutes, it can be guaranteed that the entire sea area within 18 miles ahead and to the right will be explored within an hour.
The monk started working on the paper with a pen, and recorded a number at each turning point of the grouping. The forward ship route occupied numbers one to sixteen, and the right ship route occupied the following numbers, until thirty-two positions were marked.
"We now have thirty-one ships, but it doesn't matter. In fact, the No. 1 ship and the ship moving forward will turn back to the starting point, so they can be ignored. Send the numbered positions to each ship, and each ship will know how to move. We all know which position we are at. Once we discover the Third Squadron, we will immediately report its location to you, such as between positions six and seven. In this way, everyone can determine the general direction. .¡±
Huang Bingyue's eyes lit up, and he immediately adopted it. While letting people fly the talisman to each ship, he looked at him. Perhaps because he got a good idea and felt comfortable, he felt that this young monk had a humble attitude and handsome appearance, like a piece of gentle and pure skin. Meiyu then asked: "Which monk are you from and what is your name?"
The monk said: "Reporting to Master Huang, I am Jingyi from the Xiaoyao family in Zhejiang."
Huang Bingyue praised: "I've heard of it. It's worthy of a virtuous family. When did you join the army?"
Xiao Yaojing said: "Xiao Ke is working in Xianling Palace. He is preparing to take up the post of Nanxiang Island Temple Zhu. He was recruited by Chen Shuai along with the Hongyuan ship and has not yet taken up his post."
Huang Bingyue understood that this person was from the Sanqing Pavilion system and was sent abroad, so he encouraged: "After the war, I will write to your Tangyuan envoy to ask for credit for you!"
According to this numbering method, the mobile fleet immediately began to group, strictly followed the three-tenths speed change, and was grouped again every two quarters.
After the third grouping, the frigate Shangyuan sent a flying talisman: "We have found the fighting area. It should be in front of position 15. We can hear the shouts of killing and are rushing over!"
Huang Bingyue was overjoyed, and immediately flew the talisman to each ship, heading for the fifteenth position, and at the same time asked the Shangyuan ship to arrive at the fifteenth position.After taking the position, stand by and wait for the other ships to arrive before concentrating their strength to join the battlefield.
The actual position was about nine miles away from the first grouping point. This shows how far the mobile fleet had deviated at that time. Now that it had a clear direction, the ships accelerated their gathering, and they gathered at position 15 two moments later.
He could hear a louder battle here. Huang Bingyue judged that the battlefield was in front of the left, so he ordered the ships to reduce the speed, around the outer, and inserted the sea.
In this naval battle on May 17, the Third Squadron held on for two hours in a boarding battle during the breakout of the main force of the pirates. At the critical moment, valuable reinforcements arrived.
With the support of the new force of the mobile fleet, we survived the night. Early the next morning, after the thick fog dissipated, the First Squadron and the Second Squadron simultaneously sent a large number of reinforcements to attack the main force of the pirates from both wings.
After suffering a terrifying mana attack from battleships, heavy destroyers and frigates, the main force of the pirates who suffered heavy losses had to flee back to the central atoll in Zhongkui Island in embarrassment.
The number of enemies destroyed in this battle was counted twice. The first time was in the afternoon after the battle. The count showed that about 50 enemy ships were sunk, 83 enemy ships were captured, and 1,330 enemy ships were killed. From one hundred to one thousand eight hundred men, 2200 of the enemy were captured.
The second count was carried out three days later. Seven more ships were sunk, twenty-nine pirate ships that had run aground or ran aground nearby were captured, and more than a thousand more prisoners were captured.
According to the two counts of the Infinite Rosette and the White Jade Golden-billed Crane in the air, the total number of pirate fleets at the central atoll dropped to 421.
After comparison, about thirty to forty pirate ships were missing, or they took advantage of the fog that day to escape.
Fortunately, according to the prisoners¡¯ confessions, they saw Taoist Wutong and Zhang Zheng retreating into Zhongkui Island, but Taoist Qingshan could not confirm it.
A big gain from this battle was the capture of nine people on the "Island Owners Alliance List", the most famous of which were Yin Zhanlong and Dana Yan, and six others were killed.
The list continued to shrink from this, with only twelve people left.
