Chapter 610: Response
The calm sea is like a blue mirror, and in the golden sunlight, this mirror seems to have countless golden carp swimming. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The gentle sea breeze brought a salty smell of the sea, and Yue Yun and Liu Chen commanded the battleship all the way up the wind.
White seagulls hovered above the battleship, unaware that a war was coming.
Out of the dock, the pirate's warship suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision, at this time Liu Chen picked up the telescope and looked over, now the two sides are only three or four miles apart, under the effect of the telescope, he can clearly see the personnel on the warship of the Japanese Kingdom.
"General, it's Sakai and Hu Hai." Liu Chen said.
"As I expected, Hu Hai was not captured alive that day, which is a hidden danger." Yue Yun also picked up the telescope and reconnoitred.
Among the warships that came to the Sanshan Kingdom this time, there were not many Ataku ships, it seemed that there were only more than 30 of them, and the other warships were not called warships at all in his opinion, strictly speaking, they were just modified merchant ships.
At this time, there were many people dressed as samurai of the Wa Kingdom standing on these merchant ships, and in addition to this, pirates dressed as soldiers of the Three Mountains Kingdom.
However, when Yue Yun saw the small boat at the back of the fleet, his face suddenly changed.
Liu Chen also seemed to have noticed something, and he said, "This time they brought fire to attack the ship. ”
"These would-be robbers seem to have learned wisely." Yue Yun's face was a little solemn, these fire attack ships were all small boats, which were ignited in the middle of two or three warships that rushed into the place, and even some fire attack ships also had explosive barrels, if they were stuck by this kind of fire attack ships, it would be very troublesome.
Sometimes these fire attack ships don't even need to be manned, they just need to drift along the wind into the local warship group to cause damage.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "Now that we are in the upwind direction, you immediately command the fleet to carry out a T rush operation and stop them from moving upwind. "Yes, General." Liu Chen said in a deep voice.
They take every battle at sea seriously, and although they are confident, they are not arrogant.
"Two hundred and thirty-six!" Yue Yun counted the number of Sakai and Huhai warships, and if he could wipe out all these warships this time, he believed that there would be very few incidents of Japanese raids on merchant ships at sea.
Because it is these pirates who are very active at sea now.
And this time, they had a total of twenty-four warships staying in the Three Mountains Kingdom, and in addition to one second-class sail battleship, there were also twenty-three third-level warships.
Now the focus of shipbuilding is on the production of this kind of warship, because compared with large warships, the flexibility and speed of the third-class warships are more balanced, and the speed of sailing on the sea is much higher than that of the Japanese Zhai ships, as long as they are targeted, these Japanese warships will not be able to escape.
More than twenty warships appeared on the sea, and Sakai and Huhai were in shock at the same time.
"How is this possible!" Hu Hai looked at the Qingzhou fleet that suddenly appeared, as if he had been drenched in a basin of cold water.
In the past six months, he often sent people to the dock to reconnoitre, and each time there were only three warships docked in the dock, and this time their plan was to rush directly into the dock to seize the ships of the Qingzhou fleet.
When the time comes, the Wa people will get the warships, and they will cooperate with him to attack the fortress and completely drive the army of the King of Qi out of the Three Mountains Kingdom.
Sakai's face was unusually gloomy, "You traitor! You must have betrayed us to ask the King of Qi for their fleet to ambush us here. ”
"Sakai-sama, absolutely impossible, I can't betray you." Hu Hai was also a little flustered at this time.
During this time, they fought many times against the warships cruising in Qingzhou at sea, but the speed, firepower, and flexibility of the Qingzhou warships greatly exceeded their warships.
Every time they attacked a merchant ship and were discovered, there was only one end, and that was to sink in the artillery fire of the Qingzhou battleship.
It was for this reason that Sakai was angry, because now that it was so close, more than two hundred warships could not turn around in time, which could not help but make him think that this was a trap.
"Really? In that case, now lead your fleet to stop them. Sakai said angrily, he would not be stupid to engage the Qingzhou warship at sea now.
Hu Hai's face suddenly turned pale, he took a step back, and also remembered the horror of the Qingzhou battleship half a year ago.
"Hehe, I knew you betrayed us, and now you have two choices, either take your people to attack now, or I will kill you with my own hands, which one do you choose?"
"Sakai, I didn't betray you, you can't treat me like this!" At this time, the two Japanese soldiers grabbed Hu Hai in response, and Hu Hai's face suddenly turned extremely pale.
"Anyone would say that you don't even want a chance to prove your innocence now, how can I believe you." Sakai said, and then he gave the two soldiers a look.
The two soldiers immediately escorted Hu Hai to the bow of the ship, and he drew the bushido and was ready to take up his sword at any time.
Hu Hai finally despaired, he begged for mercy: "I'll go, I'll go!" ”
Hearing this, Sakai smiled with satisfaction, and he said, "You don't have to suffer if you made this decision earlier." ”
Hu Hai's face was cloudy, and then he realized that the daimyo of Sakai and Wakoku had never treated him as a human being, and in their eyes, he was nothing more than a dog.
Despite the sadness in his heart, he let his fleet rush towards the Qingzhou battleship, Yue Yun had been observing them, and the movements of the two on the ship also fell in his eyes, and the chaos on the ship only lasted for a while before it ended, and then he saw some of the warships moving in his direction.
Yue Yun was a little strange and didn't understand what was going on, but he only thought about it for a moment and stopped thinking about it, at this time the battleship commanded by Liu Chen had slowed down, and it was preparing for an engagement.
Sure enough, after a while, the battleship began to turn, and one side of the battleship was facing Hu Hai's fleet, because the number of Hu Hai's fleet was too large, Liu Chen didn't dare to risk letting the battleship get too close, otherwise once Hu Hai's warship approached the battleship, they would have countless ways to deal with his battleship.
When the time comes, the opposing sailors will jump into the sea and use the methods of scuttling and burning their ships, which they have suffered in the past when they fought at sea.
And the most important thing is that Xiao Ming is on the island this time, so it is even more impossible for him to take this risk.
This time, Liu Chen's battleship was divided into three routes, he led the Chinese army, and while he was preparing, the left and right flotillas outflanked the flank of the pirate warship.
They were ready to cut off the retreat of the pirate warship and annihilate the enemy at once.
Now their duty is to fight for sea power, and the opportunity to destroy the living forces of the Japanese state must not be missed.
Hu Hai and Sakai stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the Qingzhou battleship that was turning, their faces became more and more ugly, and they understood that this was a sign that the Qingzhou battleship was preparing to fire.
