Five Hundred and Twenty-Five: The End of the Battle (10)

"Miss. When Su Bi'an appeared in front of Yun Yun again, it was already five days later, "The Han family's sailor has already set off, and it is estimated that he has already passed the mouth of the Yangjiang River, thinking that he will be able to arrive in two or three days." ”

"Who is the leader?" Yun Yun asked.

"Han Qigu, the chief officer of the Han family's water division, followed by the generals of the Han family's water division commanding Fang Ye and Li Mode, and the Han family's water division commanding Tongzhi Wang Ning and Zheng Boqu, not to mention the commander of the water division under his command. ”

"God, look at this formation, the official position of the commander of the Han family's water division and the chief military officer is not low, why did all the bees come out? Look at us here again......" said Gongye Qingliu looked at the generals against the Zhou family: Yun Yun, the second in command of the Zhou family, the chief officer of the Zhou family's water division, Ye Qianxi, the commander of the corps, Leng Jiachen, the director of the Zhou family's water division, Gongye Qingliu of the Zhou family's Ministry of Industry, and the impermanence of Luoyingshe Wuyin, if it comes to the quality of the water division, the Zhou family is far behind.

"Why do you just say that you have the feeling of belittling your own people?" Ye Qianxi was a little dissatisfied.

"If I just said the wrong thing, then I apologize for what I said. Gongye Qingliu said, if it was normal, he would definitely tease it immediately, but now is not the time.

"It's all for nothing, and we have to win this one. Yun Yun took a sip of tea and put down the teacup and stood up, "Su Bi'an, you should find out all the things I asked to investigate, right?"

"Nothing is missing, and it is absolutely correct!" Su Bi'an replied confidently.

"Very good, then ......" Yun Yun walked outside, "Let's go on the expedition!"

……

The Zhou family sailors began to carry out the final formation around the isolated island, because it was a decisive naval battle, so the two sides put almost all the ships in this naval battle, the Zhou family invested three heavy Fu ships, eight Fu ships, ten rushing ships, five Western gunboats, eighteen Haicang ships, twenty-six Cangshan ships, eleven eagle ships, and fire ships.

Originally, the Zhou family's sailors could only come up with more than 50 ships, but now they can have nearly 100 ships, thanks to the Han family's delay for so many days because of the purchase and familiarity with firearms, so Leng Jiachen adopted the policy of strengthening the division of labor, and with the consent of Yun Yun, he requisitioned the excellent carpentry and almost all the labor in Linji and the surrounding prefectures and counties, and then worked day and night to build so many light ships.

According to the information received by Su Bi'an, the Han family went on the expedition with 10 heavy sand boats, 30 large sealing boats and 30 rushing ships, 26 Haicang ships, 21 wheel ships, and 30 light ships such as sea falcons and eagle boats.

It can still be seen from the configuration of the two parties that because the preparation time is short, the Zhou family's sailors still use light ships, and use fire warships on a large scale, because fire-fighting ships are the easiest to build, and civilian fishing boats can also be turned into fire-fighting ships after simple modifications, while the Han family's sailors have been baptized for many years, almost all of them are medium-sized ships or above, with deep drafts and strong hulls, like fortresses on the sea.

Three days later, on April 29, on this day, the Han family sailor arrived at Lingluo Bay, which was already within the scope of the Zhou's sailor's activities, and the arriving Han sailor met with the light boat patrolled by the Zhou's sailor, and the Zhou's light boat complied with Yunyun's order not to collide with the local head-on, and decisively retreated in the direction of Linji, and the Han's sailor passed through Lingluo Bay without a fight.

On the 30th, the Han family navy took a final break and began to march towards the isolated island northeast of Linji, they had already received information from the outer gate, and the Zhou family sailor decided to fight them here.

On the first day of May, the entire Han family's naval army approached the isolated island from the northwest direction, and the Zhou family's naval division had already completed preparations here.

"Small boats are pushed forward at equal distances, followed by medium and large boats. Yun Yun looked at the telescope and said, at this time, on the isolated island, Yun Yun could already see the sails of the Han family with a ship, and the black "Han" on the flagship sail was also particularly eye-catching.

The Zhou family's formation is very strange, as an isolated island to fight against the Han family's sailors, it is the most important force, but Yun Yun has exposed it to the forefront, and the Zhou family's light ships are evenly arranged for about ten miles in the first ten miles of the isolated island, but these ships cannot play a big role in intercepting the Han family's sailors. The medium-sized and heavy ships of the Zhou family are all arranged on both sides of the island, and a heavy ship as the flagship is placed on the back of the island.

"The wind is not in our favour. Yun Yun put down the telescope and said.

After a while, a column of water suddenly lifted up in the Zhou family's light boat array, and Yun Yun, who saw this scene, knew that the Han family's sailors had begun to attack.

"Is the other party within range of the castle artillery?" Yun Yun asked.

"No, this distance is only possible with heavy artillery. Said the castle's gunner.

Continuous columns of water continued to be generated in the formation of the light ship, but Yun Yun looked inside the telescope and found that there were not many artillery pieces that could really concentrate the light ship, maybe only one or two would hit in ten rounds.

"Sure enough, how is it possible to control firearms in five or six days?" Seeing this, Yun Yun had an understanding of the Han family's control of firearms.

When it was a little closer, the rain of fire arrows fell on the formation of the light ship, which was more lethal than the artillery, and for a time there was a sea of fire on the sea, it was estimated that it was less than a quarter of an hour, and the light ships placed by the Zhou family in the front were all on fire.

"It was the right decision not to send a ship for a near-board grab. Yun Yi praised Han Qigu on the other side, because the light ship she placed at the front was not an ordinary light ship.

After easily solving the Zhou family's light boat, some of the Han family's light ships began to intersperse the burning light ships and advance towards the isolated island, but most of the light ships and medium and large ships did not move, because Han Qigu felt very strange, he did not feel the attack on the light boat, there must be something strange in this, and besides, he understood who the Zhou family was facing, so it was impossible to let the light boat stay in front without assistance.

When the Han family's light boats were halfway through, one after another light boats suddenly began to explode, and all the light boats interspersed in them were affected, and none of them survived.

"Fire battle ship, ah......" Han Qigu knew that the trump card of the Zhou family's sailors was not only the lucky ship, but also the fire warship, according to the information provided by the outer gate, the fire warship prepared by the Zhou family was not a few, if Yun Yun was willing, he could use the fire warship to directly solve the Han family's sailor completely.

"All the ships are divided into two sides, and the east and west are sandwiched to attack the isolated island!" Han Qigu conveyed the order, and the ships began to separate on both sides.

At this time, Yun Yun happened to board his flagship, Su Bi'an was already on standby, in this scene, Luo Yingshe's role was crucial, not only could he quickly convey orders and inquire about the enemy's movements, but also when it came to night attacks, he was also more efficient than the Zhou family's sailors.

"Where is the enemy's flagship?" Yun Yun asked.

"The east side, that is, the direction away from Rinzai. ”

"The ships in the east, the round formation in the car city, the forward formation!" Yun Yun said, "The ships in the west are handed over to Ye Qianxi to resist." ”

A total of forty-four ships on the east side arranged in a Checheng garden formation and began to advance in the direction of the Han family's army, because it was a headwind, so the speed of movement was very slow.

When marching, the opponent took the lead and used artillery to start attacking, but because of the tailwind and unskilled operation, the artillery that was originally aimed at the flagship ended up falling too far behind.

"In the distance. The corner of Yun Yun's mouth raised, and the gunboat under his command was ordered to attack, which was different from the Fu ship, the gunboat was a ship designed by Adams and Wei Rener with reference to Western ships, a ship specially placed with artillery, and a heavy gun placed in the bow of the ship, which was used to attack the opponent's ships from a distance.

"Spread out, spread out!" Han Qigu gave an order, the Zhou family's control of artillery was more accurate, if it was concentrated in one place, it was equivalent to waiting to be hit by artillery fire.

"Tiger squat cannon smoke bomb preparation. When the ships of the two sides were about to be one mile apart, Yun Yun gave an order, and each Fu ship was equipped with a tiger squat cannon, and naturally smoke bombs were prepared.

"Ready!"

"Aim at the opposing ship and fire!"

Smoke bombs are different from ordinary cannonballs, as long as they are rubbed, they will explode, so no matter how the Han family's sailors dodge, there is no way to avoid the attack of smoke bombs, and the Han family's ships are too cumbersome compared to the Zhou family's ships, and the only large sand ship of the Han family that can beat the Zhou family's ships in speed is the heavy Fu boat.

"The musket is ready to be suppressed?" said Subian.

"No, all split into two parts and bypass each other's ships from both sides as fast as possible. ”

"Ahh ”

"What would happen if the other party knew this?" Yun Yun asked.

"Naturally, I turned around and attacked. Su Bi'an said.

"Order the boat, and then cross and turn. ”

"Cross turns?" Su Bi'an thought for a moment, "like that...... Then we will face the back of the Han family and attack the Han family's ships from behind, which have not yet turned around. ”

"Take advantage of speed. Yun Yun said, the heavy Fu ship and the Fu ship and the catch boat did not move, and only let the Haicang ship carry out.

The next thing was really according to Yun Yun's thoughts, the Zhou family's Haicang ships attacked from the north, and the heavy ships attacked from the south, but they surrounded the Han family's ships, because the Zhou family's skillful use of firearms, as well as more firearms than the Han family, coupled with Leng Jiachen's fire prevention measures for the ships, so for a while the Han family's sailors were in a passive state, Han Qigu saw this and immediately led the ships from the west to break out, and then joined the ships in the east, Ye Qianxi saw that the other half of the Han family's ships were coming, and he also left decisively.

The first confrontation ended simply, after the war, the Han family lost six light ships, two Haicang ships, and the rest of the ships were only slightly injured, while the Zhou family lost six Haicang ships, although the Zhou family won temporarily, but if it was a loss, the Zhou family was greater.

"At nightfall, the second encounter began. After that, the Zhou family's naval army, which returned to the isolated island to rest, reprepared to deal with the naval battle at night.
