Chapter 199: Ambush in the Strait
There are more than 2,000 boats alone, and from a distance, you can see a large area of Wuyang, like a black cloud pressing down on the city. They had already reached such a distance, and Fuso's kamikaze fleet did not have to hide it anymore, and the speed of the ship was extremely fast, and it seemed that it really planned to destroy the coastal defense positions under the Goguryeo cloth in one fell swoop.
"The first round of shelling is ready, let's..." Looking at the Fusang naval fleet that was getting closer and closer, Tu Ling decisively ordered the shelling to begin.
Since the mass production of this earth-splitting cannon began, it was the first time that Ming Jiutian had seen the power of this cannon, not to mention the scene of ten thousand cannons firing at once.
In the dark night, every shell fired will cross a fire in the sky, a long tail is dragged behind a fireball, and every shell that lands will produce a strong explosion, and the whole night will be brightly lit for a while.
"Inform the naval forces near Jiaolong Island to attack on all fronts, and the speed must be fast" Ming Jiutian looked at the kamikaze fleet that was approaching at extreme speed and ordered decisively.
"Prepare for the second round of shelling, let's go..." The coastal defense troops under the command of Tu Ling began the second round of shelling.
The kamikaze fleet on the sea was bombarded by two rounds of artillery before it could clearly see the deployment of the Goguryeo coastal defense troops, and one person was turned on his back, and for a time the dense sea battle group burst into flames.
This undoubtedly provided more accurate coordinates for the coastal defense troops on the coast, so the artillery fire in the back was more accurate and more accurate, and for a time the kamikaze fleet suffered heavy losses.
"Yaga... Immediately organize all the warships, fire at all, and return fire to me" Standing at the bow of the capital ship is none other than Konosuke Kawasaki, the commander-in-chief of the naval forces of the kamikaze fleet.
"Report to His Excellency General Kawasaki, an emergency distress signal came from Jiaolong Island, saying that it was besieged, because the night was too dark, I couldn't see who it was, and I couldn't see the specific number of people, I only knew that the offensive was quite fierce, and it was almost impossible to resist it now" Just when Konosuke Kawasaki was about to fight back, the heralds around him came to report.
"Yaga, Kenji Sato, is he an idiot? The order goes down, the rear team becomes the front team, and immediately returns to Jiaolong Island" Konosuke Kawasaki was angry and did not forget to scold Kenji Sato.
The kamikaze fleet, which came and went quickly, turned around and drove in the direction of Jiaolong Island, leaving only a small shadow in the blink of an eye.
"Everyone, bring the ground-splitting cannons and shells, and board the ship immediately" Ming Jiutian waved his hand, and immediately released more than 300 warships, large and small, from the storage ring.
They are all well-trained Ming family sailors, their movements are very neat, and they quickly complete the boarding with the things they need.
"Tu Ling, remember what I said, don't chase after them, after they reach the strait, you just need to sink the warship behind them, I'll take the first step"
Ming Jiutian rode on the Gripper Beast and led the flight troops to rush towards the pre-agreed strait, and the speed of the flight was much faster than the speed of the ship anyway.
At this time the kamikaze fleet was on.
"Aoki, at our current speed, how long will it take to get back to Jiaolong Island?" Konosuke Kawasaki looked at the nautical map and asked the assistant next to him, known as Aoki.
"It's a tailwind when we come, and a headwind when we go back, and it will take three hours at the earliest," Aoki thought for a moment and responded.
"No, it's too slow, when we arrive, Jiaolong Island has already been captured, that is the rear of our capture of Goguryeo, we must not lose, do you have a better way, so that we can return to Jiaolong Island sooner" Kawasaki Konosuke asked Xiang Aoki again.
"Yes, yes, it's this strait, if you go from here, you can save a third of the distance, but this strait is relatively narrow, only our warships are allowed to pass one by one, if it is two, there will definitely be a danger of hitting the reef" Aoki looked at the map and thought about it again, and then spoke again.
"This is it, God help me" Sure enough, Konosuke Kawasaki listened to Aoki's suggestion and decisively ordered, and all the ships lined up in a column and crossed the strait.
"But Commander, the water in this area is very shallow, and if it hits the rocks, our follow-up troops will not be able to keep up, or even be in a dilemma," Aoki expressed his concern.
"Shut up, it's time for me to talk, there's no better way now" Konosuke Kawasaki didn't care at all when he heard Aoki's persuasion.
At this time, Ming Jiutian, who had already arranged all the measures, was lying on a large reef on the south shore of the strait, enjoying the moonlight, and everything was ready, it was up to him to see if the kamikaze fleet would implement the plan he envisioned.
"Little Hou Ye, the flying formation scout has come to report that the enemy army has already arrived outside the strait, and is now marching in a column towards the seafood," the Eaglelion Beast stood beside Ming Jiutian and reported in a low voice.
"Okay, inform the brothers who have been ambushed on the other side of the strait, as long as the sailors of Fusang show up, they must fire quickly, sink their vanguard warship, block their way forward, as long as all the ships within the fire coverage can open fire at will" Ming Jiutian closed his eyes and crossed Erlang's legs and gave an order.
After a short time, the first shelling came, although the number of ambushes was not large, but because the strait was very narrow, so many earth-splitting guns were angry, the warships of the front head team would soon be sunk, the waters here were very shallow, and the sunken warships sank on the bottom of the sea and blocked the ships behind, and for a time the warships that stretched for nearly a hundred miles were all blocked in the narrow strait.
"It's not good, we fell into an ambush, pass the order down, turn around quickly" Konosuke Kawasaki saw the current situation for the first time, and immediately ordered to try to withdraw from the Strait.
"Oh no, Your Excellency Commander, we are followed by a group of Hanlin sailors, and the exit has been blocked, and our warships can't rush out at all" The plan to break out of the ambush circle was completely ruined.
"Damn, cunning Hanlin people, pass the order, there are not many of them, concentrate superior forces, and open a gap for me" Konosuke Kawasaki, who was in a hurry, ordered again.
Although the order for an assault was given, the strait was too narrow, and there were too many warships in the kamikaze fleet, and the warships could not rush up at all, they could only get stuck in it.
In short, since the beginning, it has always been a posture of firing thousands of cannons, closing the door and fighting dogs, and the kamikaze fleet has many people and ships, and the most effective way to attack at the moment is not only to consume the living force of the kamikaze fleet, but also to wear down the will.
"It can't go on like this, our people will slowly run out, immediately organize our people, retreat to the reefs on both sides, as long as we hold on, the reinforcements behind will come to help us open the gap, and then it will be the death of the Ming family's water army" Kawasaki Konosuke fiercely lined up the table, and immediately led the rest of the people to move to the reef.
Sick and rushed to the hospital, it is said that the kamikaze fleet at this time, the mighty warships suddenly poured out dense Fuso warriors, and under the orderly organization, hundreds of thousands of Fusang warriors quickly moved towards the reefs on both sides of the strait.
"Young master, now I am convinced, it is exactly the same as you expected" Looking at the Fusang Navy that was quickly moving like the two sides of the strait, Tu Ling's mouth couldn't close.
"Send a signal for the ground-splitting artillery on both sides to cease fire, and let the archers on both sides of the strait prepare and shoot freely" Ming Jiutian looked at the Fusang naval army rushing to both sides of the strait and gave a decisive order.
