0516 Expedition

After doing everything, Liu Pei turned to face all the soldiers, and he said loudly: "Brothers! It won't be long before there will be a great battle on the sea to the east! Perhaps not as many ships have participated in water battles in history, but it is even more significant! Because this battle will determine where this sea belongs for the next 100 years! That's why I ask everyone here to do their best and do their best! Victory will be ours in the end! ”

Liu Pei's brief speech sounded very touching, and as soon as his words landed, the soldiers who were already enthusiastic shouted in unison: "Wan Sheng!" Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

When the cheers subsided, Liu Pei said loudly again: "I will be with you in this battle!" Victory or death! There is no second way! ”

This sentence once again ignited the enthusiasm of the soldiers! They shouted in unison: "May I die for the great handsome!" ”

Liu Pei waved his hand and said, "Get on the boat!" ”

The soldiers immediately got on board under the command of the officer, and the soldiers left, but the generals had not dispersed. Liu Pei turned to Wu Yizhou and said, "In this battle, your First Fleet is under the greatest pressure!" You're going to face five times as many enemies on your own! And at least until noon! Do you still have faith in sticking to their main forces and not letting them break away? ”

Wu Yizhou nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, handsome!" We'll get the job done! ”

Liu Pei patted Wu Yizhou's arm vigorously and said, "Be careful!" ”

Wu Yizhou solemnly saluted Liu Pei and then turned around and walked towards the boat. Liu Pei and the officers behind him saluted one by one and saw them off. Soon after, most of the ships of the First Fleet set sail! Liu Pei watched them leave before boarding the ship and setting sail with the rest of the fleet. They had to make a big detour to reach the battlefield. And just like that, a naval battle of great significance is about to begin!

Liu Pei boarded the flagship Laizhou Mansion. As a flagship, he is currently the largest of all new warships. He had eight more guns and two stern guns than the other ships. There were also more sailors and soldiers accommodated.

On the battleship, Liu Pei felt a little upset. Because he can't do anything now! The plan is planned, the preparation is due, and the rest is just to go to war. So in order to soothe his mood, Liu Pei decided to take a look in the cabin.

Liu Pei went down to the artillery deck and waved his hand to stop the officer's intention to salute him and report. Because he saw a couple of young sailors listening to an old sailor sitting on a powder keg brag!

Liu Pei really knew this old sailor. This old sailor was one of the first sailors recruited by Liu Pei. Nicknamed Old Black Fish, he was originally a lonely fisherman, but since he became a sailor with Liu Pei, his family built a new house and begged his mother-in-law.

Therefore, he was determined to repay Liu Pei's kindness, so he insisted on staying in the fleet. But his cultural level was too poor to be upgraded. Had to serve as a deputy boatswain. Liu Pei's flagship was completed, and he was transferred to serve in the flagship as a trustworthy old man.

When Liu Pei came down, he was listening to him say, "...... A bunch of pirates are afraid of a ball! They know what it is, well, yes! Battleline? Do they know what it means to cooperate? That's a bunch of fools who just know how to rush up! When the time comes, our cannon will just bombard! ”

Liu Pei smiled and said, "What the old black fish said is right! They are just a rabble, not our opponents at all! ”

At this time, all the sailors saw Liu Pei's iconic red goggles and immediately stood up and saluted. Liu Pei raised his hand and saluted and said, "Old Heiyu is right, in this battle, we will eventually win!" First of all, the enemy does not have our long-term training, and there is no tacit understanding at all. When you gain power, you will rush up, and if you lose, you will scatter in a hurry! Because they belong to different pirate leaders themselves, they have different interests. Secondly, they do not have strict discipline and a sense of honor. There is no bottom line when you do bad things, and there is no persistence when you fight! So as long as we persevere, they are the ones who fail! ”

At this time, one of the wounded men boldly said: "But the commander, their people are several times that of us, and the ships are also several times that of us, this battle is not easy to fight!" ”

The old black fish kicked him in the thigh with a kick! Kicking at that level and stumbling. He yelled, "What did you say? actually questioned the words of the handsome, you want to die! ”

Liu Pei waved his hand to stop the words of the old black fish and said, "They do have more people than us. But I've never heard of a flock of sheep beating a tiger! And this group of pirates is at best a pack of horned goats! As long as you remember one sentence, it is responsibility, discipline and honor! Do our duty, and we will be able to overcome them! When the time comes for the official victory, I will come back to share the joy of victory with you! ”

All the sailors were excited when they heard Liu Pei's words! They stood up and saluted, shouting that they were willing to die for the commander! Liu Pei returned the salute and returned to the deck. In fact, Liu Pei's heart is not as relaxed as he said. A gap of several times the strength of the force is not something that can be filled with a few more guns! There are too many sacrifices to be made in order to win!

Since they had been floating at sea for a long time, Zheng Zhilong and the others were already a little impatient. They wondered if Liu Pei had completely abandoned this island and didn't dare to come?

But Zheng Zhilong suppressed everyone's thoughts, and he wanted everyone to explain: "I understand the thoughts of the Red Eyed Dragon King!" He is full of lust for this sea! He won't leave the island behind! Because that would mean that he lost the struggle at sea

! That's when all the neutral people will turn me on and help me tear him to shreds! So he's bound to come, and it's fast! I guess it's been a few days, hold on a little longer! ”

On the third day after Zheng Zhilong said these words, the person in charge of the lookout asked you to shout: "There is a fleet approaching!" Skull Banner on Black Background! ”

Zheng Zhilong heard the shouting and hurriedly ran out of the cabin and looked into the distance. Sure enough, I saw a large sail on the sea level in the distance. On the mast, skull flags with black backgrounds flutter in the sea breeze.

In an instant, the anxiety in Zheng Zhilong's heart at this time was gone! He asked in a spirited manner, "How many ships are the enemy coming?" ”

One of the pirates immediately replied, "Go back to the dragon's head, count the small ones, and there are 22 ships in total!" It's all big ships! ”

At this time, Shi Daxuan and several people also appeared on the deck one after another. The flagships of these men were all leaning together, and a rope was used as a rope. Zheng Zhilong said to a few people: "Look! Just over twenty ships came! Looks like they've got their hands on it! Presumably, it was intended to use these ships to drain our morale and stamina, while the other ships were ready to raid us. ”

Gan Hui smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint them!" They probably didn't expect us to keep our hands on it, right? ”

Zheng Zhilong waved his hand casually and said, "Don't care about the others first, send sixty ships to teach them a lesson!" Don't hit it too hard. If we move too hard, maybe the red-eyed snake won't dare to come out! ”

Shi Daxuan said: "This is simple! I'll take someone with me personally! ”

Seeing Zheng Zhilong nodding, Shi Daxuan grabbed a cable and jumped back to his boat, shouting loudly to let the fleet set sail. Soon a large number of sea ships started and met each other.

I have to say that although these pirates have never trained together, their perennial sea life has naturally given them a certain tacit understanding. The chaotic pirate ship actually formed a plausible half-moon array in the middle of the process, and circled towards each other like a large net.

Wu Yizhou's fleet on the opposite side was two rows of horizontal formations, and the flagship was on the far left of the first row. Wu Yizhou saw the other party coming over in the telescope, carefully looked at the other party's formation, and said to the people around him: "It looks like a half-moon formation, but it is actually loose, heavy on the left and light on the right!" These pirates are a rabble! Inform the fleet to maintain course and speed, but be prepared to turn left and cross the side column of the whole team! When the time comes, we'll cut through their right corner and give them a little bit of awesomeness! ”

The two fleets are approaching quickly, and a big battle is about to break out! For the sake of this big war, both sides put a lot of energy into it. Not only Liu Pei's side, but even Zheng Zhilong also strengthened and transformed the sea ship.
