The ocean east of Weihai Harbor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The sea is vast, the boundless sea stops, and the sailors' trumpets reverberate one after another, echoing between the sea and the sky.

With more than 1,000 large and small warships and 30,000 naval soldiers, Wu Zixu led all the existing strength of the Great Wei Navy to approach the enemy fleet that was in front of him.

At this time, the head is already high, the sea is not stormy, and it is a good time to start a war.

Although it was late spring, the temperature at sea was not high, and even the gentle sea breeze was still cold.

The 30,000 Great Wei Navy officers and soldiers did not feel cold at all, because their burning fighting intent had already made them hot and agitated.

The imperial flag with the word "Wei" and the handsome flag with the word "Wu" shook in the sea breeze, making a loud sound, flying high between the sea and the sky.

On the top floor of the flagship ship, Wu Zixu held a sharp sword in his hand, his face was as calm as a mountain, and his sharp and quiet gaze passed through the vast ocean, looking at the approaching army from afar.

The young and elegant Lu Xun, dressed in white armor, stood beside Wu Zixu as an adjutant, and his expression was also calm and calm.

It's just that in that quiet, there is still a little worry.

Unlike Wu Zixu, Lu Xun was skeptical of the Son of Heaven's holy decree of a decisive battle at sea from the beginning.

Because although the Japanese army was defeated in successive battles on land, their 30,000 navy never tasted defeat, and it was still pressing them to fight.

If it weren't for the land battle in Qingzhou, Zhou Yu's navy would probably still be blocking them on the front line of Xuzhou at this moment, and it would be impossible for them to approach Weihai Port calmly.

However, the Son of Heaven sent a holy decree ordering Wu Zixu to meet the 10,000 Yangzhou navy brought by Zheng Chenggong, and the fleet immediately went north to start a decisive battle with the Japanese navy.

It seems that the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to this Zheng Chenggong and regards him as a secret weapon to defeat the enemy.

Lu Xun was very skeptical of the judgment of the Son of Heaven, he really couldn't see what was outstanding about Zheng Chenggong, and he only knew that this young general who was promoted by the Son of Heaven was only heard that he was born as a fisherman in Jiaozhou, because he captured Hong Xiuquan and made great contributions, he was valued by the Son of Heaven.

How capable can a fisherman be?

In Lu Xun's heart, there have always been such doubts, not only him, but also the commander Wu Zixu himself.

It's just that they know that the Son of Heaven has never fought uncertain battles, and besides, the holy decree has been issued, even if they have any doubts, they can only strictly implement it.

Therefore, in this decisive battle at sea, except for Zheng Chenggong, everyone is not sure of victory.

After all, there were lucky generals like Yi Sunsin in the Japanese army, and the big guy had enough of his suffering.

While Lu Xun was pondering, the fleet continued to move westward, and between the sea and the sky, endless shadows of ships crashed into view.

The cloud-like shadows quickly rose from below the sea level, and it didn't take long for them to reveal their fierce true faces.

The Japanese fleet appeared.

More than 1,000 warships, large and small, were arrayed on the vast ocean, like clouds falling from the sky, slowly advancing.

There are 20 huge building ships, more than 200 large fighting ships, more than 400 medium-sized ship ships, and countless other small ships.

The number of ships of the Japanese army was on par with that of the Great Wei Navy on the whole.

However, when the first Weihai Battle was lost, the Wei army lost more than half of the building ships, so in terms of the number of building ships, there were nearly nine to eleven fewer enemy ships.

The Japanese army laid out most of the buildings and ships in front of the battle, and at a glance, it was like a huge sea wall, which was overwhelming.

Obviously, the enemy's formation was to overwhelm the Wei army in momentum.

On the flagship of the Chinese army, Wu Zixu clearly saw the formation of the enemy ships, and looked at the huge wall-like building ship formation, and his heart fluctuated slightly.

He had to admit that the enemy's superiority in the number of ships did give him the upper hand in momentum.

The officers and men of the Wei army on all ships and ships immediately rose in spirit, clenched their fists, and waited for the battle.

The shadow of repeated defeats at the beginning couldn't help but shroud my heart again, making the Wei army feel a little imperceptible jealousy.

On the rear fighting ship, Zheng Chenggong's eyes were cold, staring at the direction of the enemy ship, and his young face burned with crazy battle intent.

His body was trembling.

But it was not because I was afraid, but because I was too excited, my whole body was boiling, and I was so excited that I was trembling.

Zheng Chenggong clearly saw the might of the enemy ships, and he also knew that the person who commanded this huge fleet was Zhou Yu, the god of water warfare.

He also knew that there was also a lucky general in the enemy army, Yi Sunsin, who repeatedly triggered celestial phenomena at critical moments and helped the Japanese army defeat his own navy.

In addition to these two people, Lu Meng, Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, these Japanese generals, all of them are good at crisscrossing the water, and they have long been famous all over the world.

As for him Zheng Chenggong, he is just a fisherman, a pirate, and an unknown person, and I am afraid that even those generals and colleagues of the Wei army have many people who can't remember his name, or even don't know him at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he was lucky enough to capture Hong Xiuquan and get the appreciation of the Son of Heaven, at this moment, I'm afraid he would still be in that small fishing village in Jiaozhou, continuing to be his boring fisherman year after year, day after day.

But now, it seems that God has favored him, an ordinary person, and given him such an incredible opportunity, making him a Great Wei Admiral, so that he can fight side by side with such world-famous people as Wu Zixu and Gan Ning in this epic naval battle, and compete with strong enemies such as Zhou Yu and Lu Meng.

Just a moment ago, he couldn't believe it was real, thinking he was hallucinating.

It wasn't until the enemy's fleet, approaching with great force, crashed into his field of vision that he realized that he was not in a dream.

"Today is the time for me Zheng Chenggong to become famous in the world, I must prove my ability to the Son of Heaven, and I want everyone in the world to remember my name!"

Zheng Chenggong slammed his fist on the railing of the boat, his eyes were full of hunting pride, and he secretly swore an oath.

On the ocean, the fleets of the two sides advanced relatively closely, and in the blink of an eye, they were more than a mile apart and entered the range of engagement.

The decisive battle at sea is just around the corner.

On the flagship of the Chinese army, Wu Zimei took a deep breath and muttered: "Although this decisive battle is not sure to be won, how can this shameful opportunity be missed, whether it is victory or defeat, the only way to fight is to fight with all your might." ”

After taking a deep breath, Wu Zixu drew his sword in his hand and shouted: "Beat the drum and prepare for battle." ”

Tom tom tom -

In the Great Wei fleet, the sound of war drums shook the sky, tearing apart the peace of the sea and sky.

The commander's order was issued, and the order to attack was given to Gan Ning of the former army.

In the front military office, Gan Ning, who had been waiting for a long time, gave an order, and hundreds of warships increased their speed, broke through the wind, and rushed to kill the oncoming enemy first.

The Wei army preemptively started the war!

On the flagship of the Chinese military fleet, Zhou Yu was relaxed, and his handsome face was always that kind of innate confidence.

Seeing the changes in the Wei fleet, Zhou Yu's eyes condensed slightly, and he locked the battle flag with the word "Gan".

"Jinfan thief, it's your ...... again" Zhou Yu's brows were deep, and his eyebrows and eyes burst out with disgusted anger.

The Jinfan thief back then, as Liu Biao's subordinate, also stood in the same camp with him to fight against the southern invasion of the pottery merchants.

It's just that in the Battle of Chibi, Gan Ning's bitter plan failed, not only was he captured alive by the pottery merchants, but also caused the defeat of the Sun-Liu coalition army in Chibi at that time.

After that battle, Liu Biao was destroyed, and the pottery merchants took Jingzhou and seized the upper reaches of Wu, and the Wu army could no longer stop the Wei army from advancing eastward until it was destroyed.

And Gan Ning actually surrendered to the pottery merchants, and in the war against Wu, how hard he worked and made great contributions.

The battle of Chibi was Zhou Yu's gritted hatred.

And Gan Ning, the key person who caused him to fail, now goodbye, how can he not make Zhou Yu angry.

Taking a light breath, Zhou Yu waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Decree Tai Shici, order him to lead his own warship to kill, kill the Jinfan thief for Ben General, and settle the old and new hatreds together!" ”

Woo woo woo -

In the Japanese army's formation, the sound of the horn of attack also rose to the sky.

The flagship's flag shook like the wind, and Tai Shi Ci gave the order, and immediately gave an order, leading more than 300 large and small warships to open the way with building ships, and rushed out, and the rushing Ganning fleet met the attack.

In the blink of an eye, the two armies had reached a distance of nearly two hundred paces.

Almost at the same time, the long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows on the ships of the two armies fired thousands of arrows at the same time, overwhelmingly shooting at each other's warships.

Whoosh!

The buzz of piercing the eardrums, and countless arrows rushed into the sky, like falling stars, forming a network of light in the sky, blocking the light of the sun.

In the next second, sharp arrows rained down.

Despite the preparations of both armies, some of the soldiers were pierced by sharp arrows, screaming loudly, and blood splattered over the ships.

The two fleets continued to advance while firing at each other, and in the blink of an eye, they were staggered together, and the tactics of both sides were similar, with huge building ships and fighting ships relying on their tonnage height, with a condescending momentum, indiscriminate arrows towards each other.

Medium-sized ships rely on maneuverability to roam freely, seizing the opportunity to collide with the opponent's large ship at any time and launch a close combat on boarding.

For a time, blood rushed to the sky, arrows were like nets from heaven to earth, soldiers continued to fall on the blood-stained deck, and people continued to fall into the water, dyeing the sea red.

The two armies combined with nearly 700 warships, and a fierce naval battle began on the vast sea.

Although the Wei army was equipped with a powerful ballista, the power and accuracy of the ballista were greatly reduced because the wind and waves at sea were much greater than those of the Yangtze River, and the ocean surface was several times wider.

Moreover, Zhou Yu and the others suffered the loss of the ballista back then, and when they were building the ship, they deliberately strengthened the armor to enhance the defense and greatly offset the damage of the ballista.

On the Japanese army, because of the superiority in the number of ships, it is difficult for the two sides to distinguish between the two sides in terms of overall strength.

And Tai Shici and Gan Ning are both good at water warfare, and they both have a thorough understanding of each other's tactics, and no one can come up with any killer features.

It was this head-to-head battle, from the very beginning, the two sides were in each other's strength, and after a long time of scuffle, the sea surface of the battle was dyed red, but it was still impossible to tell the winner.

Zhou Yu was furious.
