Chapter 462: Whale Island
Due to the large size of the stormy world, the fleet passed through the Korean Strait and reached the Tsushima group the next day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWhen they saw the land in front of them, the sailors were very happy and thought that it was Dongying.
"Master, are you logged in?" Mingtao came over to ask.
"Hmm." Ji Yang nodded.
Tsushima Island is halfway between Korea and Dongying, and the island is sparsely populated and almost primitive. After the fleet landed, they saw a primeval forest, and everyone did not know what to do.
The people of the Tianxia Association came down one after another to breathe, and they wanted to kill a few locals to Liwei, but they couldn't see anyone.
"This island is ours, and it will be called Whale Island in the future." Ji Yang didn't like the name Tsushima Island, anyway, there were only 10,000 or 20,000 people on the island, and most of them were savages, so he didn't need to conquer it with arms, and directly announced that the island belonged.
"Whale Island, that's a good name." Jing Xiulian knows something about Dongying and knows that this is an island between Dongying and North Korea. However, he had only seen the map, but he had never been here, this was the first time he had landed, and he didn't expect the environment here to be so primitive.
"Rest here for two hours, send 500 men to explore Whale Island, and figure out the topography here. If you meet local residents, try not to hurt them and keep them useful. Ji Yang said.
"Yes, sir." Jing Xiulian immediately ordered to call five hundred disciples of the Tianxia Society, and a team of ten people went into separate explorations.
Because they were all primeval forests, everyone didn't want to go in and suffer hardship, so they lit a fire on the shore to cook. After eating and drinking, we rested for a while, and after about two hours, all the people boarded the ship and set off again.
There were also five hundred warriors on the island who were exploring Whale Island, and Ji Yang left a horse boat waiting for them.
It took more than a day, and according to the guidance of those Aikimen warriors, Ji ** drove directly to the naval army camp of the Boundless Divine Palace. The Infinite Divine Palace once sent troops to invade the Central Plains, and although it failed, he has been developing a naval army.
On the way, Ji Yang saw a patrol boat with the Ghost Fork Luo flag on it. The length of the patrol ship was only a dozen meters, and there were six people on it, and the reaction after seeing the Star Fleet was the same as before the Aigas valve.
The 100-meter battleships of the Star Fleet are as shocking as aircraft carriers in this era. Fifteen hundred-meter battleships are coming, and no one can be calm in front of them.
"Capture them alive." Ji Yang ordered.
The two guerrilla ships in front were ordered to speed up the pursuit of the patrol boats. Of course, the other side rowed desperately, but the guerrilla ships were too fast, and they caught up with them in less than five minutes.
The sailors on the patrol ship took out their muskets and opened fire on the sailors on the guerrilla ship. However, the guerrilla ships were too large for them, and the waves set off by the hull of more than 60 meters made their small boats unstable, and the shooting accuracy was almost equal to zero. The guerrilla captain gave the order and fired two bed crossbows to penetrate the patrol ship of the Onicha Luo and crucify one of them.
Then the sailors drew their long knives and ran along the chains to the patrol ship with light skills. The remaining five Onicha Luo shot wildly, but their shooting frequency was too low, and it was useless for martial artists above the fivefold realm.
This is the reason why Ji Yang only built artillery, but did not introduce muskets.
The frequency, accuracy, and power of the flintlock pistol are only effective for warriors below the triple realm. Above the triple realm, you can only be injured with an automatic rifle, and above the fifth realm, you need to use a machine gun.
I haven't even touched the threshold of the industrial revolution, and if I can't make more powerful guns, it's better to use cold weapons.
The five Onicha Luo had only fired two or three shots, one of them missed, and the sailors had already jumped off their patrol boat. Onishara had to throw his musket and draw his katana in close combat, only to be captured or killed in a few rounds.
"His grandmother's, these guys use a very powerful burning stick, and I used a knife to block it a few times and my hands were numb." A guerrilla captain scolded that being the captain of the sailors of a guerrilla ship was at least a sixfold realm.
For a martial artist in the sixfold realm, it is easy to block a few bullets with a knife.
They captured the two Devil Forks alive, lifted them up and returned to the guerrilla ship along the chains with light skills. When the guerrilla leader was cursing, he kicked the ghost fork and saw that the knife in his hand had been punched into several holes.
"That's not a burning stick, it's a musket, I've seen it in the imperial navy before." Captain Lu Hun said.
Lu Hun turned out to be a capable general of Ming Tao, and he was once a petty official in the imperial army. At this time, both the Central Plains and Dongying had firearms, but they were rarely used, and most people still used cold weapons, for similar reasons to Ji Yang's.
"What is a musket?" The partisan leader picked up a musket and looked at the muzzle with one eye.
"It's the same thing as artillery, it's much smaller." Lu Hun said.
They brought the two captives to the main ship, Ji Yang, and took off the mask of the Onicha Luo. The two Ghost Forks were ordinary-looking, short in stature, and their eyes showed beast-like killing intent.
"Ask them, how many ships, how many people, how many cannons there are in the water camp of the Infinite Divine Palace." Ji Yang said.
“¥%…… ¥......%&*......&*" The interpreter immediately asked in the Toei language.
But the two ghosts didn't speak, and suddenly gritted their teeth together, and blood overflowed from the corners of their mouths and died. Ming Tao stepped forward to pry open their mouths and found that the other party's mouth was poisonous, and it was the kind that sealed their throats with blood.
"They committed suicide, and these Toei ninjas are just as rumored, and they don't want to die." Ming Tao was quite frightened, it was so crazy to find a Japanese pirate at random, what kind of nation did the Japanese invaders be.
"Toei's bushido spirit is indeed terrifying to strangers." Jing Xiulian understands.
They try in vain to frighten the enemy with this kind of self-harm, but they don't know that self-harm can only frighten others for a while, but not for a lifetime. Just by understanding their bushido spirit, you will find out how sad this nation is. Ji Yang said.
In fact, he had a chance to stop the other party from committing suicide just now, but Ji Yang didn't want to get his hands dirty.
"That's right, you might think they're scary at first, but you get used to it after watching them a few more times." Jing Xiulian nodded in agreement.
"Throw them off the boat and move on." Ji Yang ordered.
Puff puff puff
The two bodies fell into the sea, and the waves disappeared in a single roll.
After passing through the Kitakyushu Strait, seven patrol ships were sunk successively, and it took more than an hour to finally reach the water camp of the Infinite Shrine.
Ji Yang and the others have extremely strong eyesight, they don't need a telescope, and they can see the situation from a few miles away. It was a spectacular harbor with more than 500 ships of all sizes, the most striking of which was of course the ironclad ships loaded with artillery.
Removing the fleet of the Nakshatra faction, Dongying's shipbuilding industry had surpassed that of the Central Plains at this time. Naval battles often occur among the internal forces of Dongying, and the ironclad ship is their most advanced warship, with a layer of one-centimeter-thick ironclad on the surface, and the appearance looks very domineering.
The fleet that easily smashed the aikemen before, Ming Tao and the others were originally very confident, but when they came to the naval camp of the Infinite Divine Palace, they were suddenly a little uncertain. Although the other side did not have a single warship that could compare with the warships of the Star Faction, it could not hold up the number of them, and they could not see the end at a glance.
"Mingtao, prepare to attack!" Ji Yang is full of confidence, although his ship is not as many as the other party, but there are many cannons.
Ming Tao was refreshed when he heard this, and immediately waved his flag and ordered fifteen warships to approach the camp. Although the Star Fleet sank many patrol ships along the way, the news of their approach still reached the naval camp.
It may be that Dongying has been dominating for too long, and the water military camp of the Infinite Divine Palace has not reacted as quickly as imagined.
