"Your Highness, let's go, Kyushu Island is seeing that it has completely fallen, and the small forces of the samurai families in various places have their own affairs, and the weak Japan no longer has the strength to resist, and even Shikoku Island is estimated to be unable to hold it. I heard a Japanese who was conscripted as a slave by Goryeo say that the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty has now fallen on a large scale, and seeing that the Song State itself cannot withstand the collapse, Goryeo will be safe, so they sent more reinforcements to land in Japan. ”

"Now is the last chance to go, and quickly withdraw to Honshu Island to reorganize the defenses, right?"

At the seaside, Yanagi Yin Yan tried his best to persuade Fujiwara Mitsuko to board the ship and evacuate as soon as possible.

In Yanagi's view, there was no chance to counterattack, and if he continued to counterattack, in addition to increasing the casualties of the Japanese people, he could not hold Kyushu Island, because the resistance was more bloody, the Koreans sent more reinforcements, and once these executioners landed, the Japanese would not do anything more.

In this way, looking at the island full of beacon fires, this once the most promising demonstration site for improving life, the Song Concession, has now been declared to have completely fallen.

In a state of tears, Fujiwara Mitsuko had no choice but to board a ship and set sail, intending to retreat to the larger island of Honshu.

After driving on the heavy rain and majestic sea for a long time, the so-called blessing and misfortune are not alone: "Your Highness, Your Highness, they are coming!" Goryeo's larger-scale warships are coming! ”

Hearing the samurai's panicked report, Fujiwara Mitsuko hurried up to a high place and watched the storm with a telescope.

The Goryeo people did make a heavy bet this time, and this time the Goryeo warships crossing the Korean Strait were densely packed, and this course was obviously heading towards Honshu Island, and their purpose was to see that the land strategy of the Liao State was stable, so they planned to pass through Kyoto, Japan.

Unfortunately, I met the remnants of Fujiwara Mitsuko, who fled to Honshu Island by boat.

As many as nearly seventy warships, which happened to be in a state of downwind and strong winds, could reach a frenzied speed of nearly thirty knots.

Although most of them were converted from civilian ships, the eight ships at the front were real warships, equipped with artillery provided by the Liao.

Eight Goryeo warships marched at full speed in this storm, following one after another, like knights leading the charge on land, and the flags of the Goryeo navy fluttering fiercely, which can be described as majestic.

On the largest flagship, Duke Kim Hee-cheol and the Governor of the Goryeo Navy looked mighty in gorgeous armor, and everyone worshiped him like a god.

In terms of national characteristics, the Korean people are also very frustrated in fighting. However, they have been under the rule of the Liao State for a long time, and they are guided and influenced by the Liao State. is like the kind of little brother in the market who has the support of the "godfather".

Under this nouveau riche fox fake tiger mentality, the Korean navy fought with Jurchen pirates for many years and bullied Japanese ships for many years. To this day, he has indeed accumulated the mentality of a hegemon in the East China Sea, and has accumulated quite a lot of victories and naval battle experience.

So yes, when it comes to national characteristics, the Goryeo people can only fight a tailwind war, but their navy in this period is indeed the most experienced elite in the East China Sea.

Duke Jin Xiche, the governor of the navy, was recommended by Li Xiahui this time, and Li Ziyuan went to Kyoto, Japan, after being hand-picked, intending to fully cooperate with the strategy of attacking the Song Dynasty of his father's country.

Jin Xiche's personal expedition, shuttling in the storm, is very satisfied with this style of "millions of heroes crossing the river", amazing, nearly 70 warships go to sea together, really a bit of a sense of dominating the world. Jin Xicheol believes that now that the East China Sea has no one to stop the hegemony of Goryeo before the intervention of the Great Song Dynasty, the fall of Heiankyo in Japan may only be in the mundane.

So he wore gorgeous armor and drank in the wind and rain on the flagship and posed.

After taking a look, Governor Jin Xiche said very dissatisfied: "There are Japanese ships in front of you that have entered the telescope visual range, why are we not full sails, the speed is still not obscene enough, give me a full sail." ”

After speaking, he also pointed to the wine glass, and also pointed to the lack of speed of the Xiongshi fleet.

An officer of the Goryeo Navy knelt on one leg: "Report to the Grand Governor, it's a storm now, the wind is too strong, and you can't fill the sails, otherwise the mast won't be able to withstand so much pressure and something will happen." ”

Another general also knelt on one leg: "It's true, our shipbuilding technology, wood treatment technology, connection technology, and keel technology cannot be compared with the Song Kingdom." The mast made by the Song Kingdom can indeed withstand such wind power, but ours can't. In the past, the Jurchens suffered a lot of such losses when they were fighting with the Song navy. Due to the mechanical power of the Song warships and the lack of sails, the Jurchen warships could only fight when the wind was downwind, and according to the wind, if it was downwind and full sail, the Jurchen ships could surpass the Song warships at a speed, and theoretically could be crushed. But the actual operation is to brush your face to see luck, if the wind is too small, you can't catch up, if the wind is too strong, you can't catch up with the Song warship in a short time, it is easy to break the mast, and even the overall keel is scattered. Chen Ergou, the commander of the Song Navy, once used this tactic to drag down a Jurchen fleet of eight ships, causing them to be paralyzed and lose their mobility, and finally Chen Ergou's only warship was completely annihilated in the Yellow Sea. ”

Jin Xiche listened with envy, jealousy and hatred, this is the reason why everyone fell into Song together, they are too rich and advanced, and everything they have is what everyone wants.

After YY, Governor Jin Xiche said casually: "I know what you said, in fact, it is for these reasons that we need to capture Kyushu Island and turn those industries, workers, and engineers of the Song Kingdom into our resources, and now we are gradually achieving it." But now you are blind and do not see? Such a large Japanese ship that can escape from the waters of Kyushu represents a person who has the means and resources and is cunning, I suspect that it is the flagship Pearl of Fujiwara Mitsuko, last time I kidnapped this woman and didn't have time to enjoy it, I was snatched away by Wang Yan, a hooligan, and took away her love, which is a shame This time she must be caught. ”

"But ......"

"But a bastard, don't you see that their boat is faster than us, hurry up and catch up with the full sail, hurry up, and capture Fujiwara Mitsuko alive for me." Kim Hee-cheol roared.

"Yes."

So the sailors, at the risk of a heavier wind and rain, hung up the supplementary sails again on the already stressed mast.

This is commonly known as "afterburner". The Song State mechanical battleship also has afterburner, but in this state, no matter what kind of power the ship is, it can't be maintained for too long, otherwise of course it will be "overheating and frequency reduction".

At this point, the entire huge fleet of the Korean Navy began to accelerate one by one, faster and faster......

"Oops! This time, I'm afraid we're planted, and the Goryeo fleet is reinforced! Closing the distance"

A Japanese samurai accidentally went out into the sea from a high place after his report. He was obviously dead, and now there was no one left to save him.

While making a final effort, all the materials that could be used as afterburners for sails were used and hung on the mast. On the other side, Fujiwara Mitsuko was unusually calm, and said sternly to Yanagi Yin, "Give me your short knife." ”

"Uh, this ......" Liu Sheng Yan hesitated, the short knife was obviously used for self-cutting.

Fujiwara Mitsuko said, "I've sworn since last time that I don't want to fall into the hands of the Koreans. The fall of Kyushu and Shikoku is already a shame for me and the clan, and I can't add shame to shame, and I can't let my father's daughter fall into their hands during the emergency period on Honshu Island, they are a group of beasts, and there is no essential difference between them and the Jurchens. ”

"Hey." Yanagi Yin had no choice but to hand the short knife to Fujiwara Mitsuko......

The rough sea was very dark, and in the wind and rain, the five new frigates of the Song Navy that had just been commissioned were galloping.

On the lookout, Song Jun, the skeletal amazed observer, actually used a telescope to find someone in the sea in the waves?

"Report to the general, there is a situation!"

With some follow-up efforts, the Song Navy rescued the Japanese samurai who was blown away by the wind earlier.

Waking up from a coma, as soon as the Japanese samurai saw the banner of the Song Army, he immediately knelt down to Chen Ergou with a nose and tears: "Please be sure to save my young lady." ”

After Chen Ergou asked a few simple questions, he basically understood the current situation.

Fujiwara Mitsuko is no longer very important, and this time the larger fleet of the Koreans is heading for Kyoto, Japan.

According to the operational philosophy of the navy at the time of its departure: to cut off the military export of the Koreans to Japan at any cost.

Because according to the spirit of the Great Demon King, the northern front of the Song Kingdom was already the darkest hour, and other pressures could not be increased at will. If the Koreans pacified Japan and ate more meat to participate, a large number of their army forces would also cross the Yalu River, and those who brought their own food would become members of the evil allies, putting more pressure on the northern land front of the Great Song Dynasty.

No matter how much army Goryeo can invest in the northern front of the Song Kingdom, there is no doubt that after Japan is pacified and not contained, even one more straw will become a fatal pressure on the Great Demon King.

As part of the overall strategy, Da Song has been suppressed for too long, and now is an opportunity. If there is news of a dominant victory for the navy before the decisive battle of the northern land defense line of the Great Song Dynasty begins, this will at least boost the confidence of the army in the decisive battle.

Thinking of this, the general strategic direction has basically been decided.

What Chen Ergou needs to consider is: how to eat this big meat.

It's not necessarily a good thing when the meat is too big, it will cause indigestion. At this time, Goryeo was a formed fleet, and according to the information provided by the Japanese samurai, there were nearly 70 warships.

The warships of the Song Kingdom are not really invincible now, but they rely on technology and have a greater margin for error than the barbarians.

Because according to the different battlefield environments, if the wind is tailwind and reaches a certain wind strength, the Jurchen and Goryeo warships can sail faster than the old frigates, and their navy is now equipped with artillery provided by the Liao State.

Of course, this can be solved by tactics under normal circumstances, for which Chen Ergou has accumulated more than a year of naval combat experience and has many corresponding plans. Including the tactics of flying kites in circles, relying on the range of the Song army's ship guns to greatly surpass them, and relying on more flexible steering power, to a certain extent, when the opponent's warship is pulled to a "crosswind state", it can be attacked.

But this has a premise: the opponent's warships cannot be too many, and they must also be in a specific sea area that Chen Ergou is more familiar with. Otherwise, it will be difficult to protect other moths.

Now, facing the largest output of the Koreans, the Goryeo navy of 10,000 and seventy warships.

According to the Japanese samurai, at least twenty ships were armed with artillery. And due to the limited range of the gasoline version of the frigate earlier, this is the North Korean Strait that Chen Ergou has never set foot in, there are many islands and reefs, whether the depth of the circumference is unknown enough, and the changes in sea conditions and weather are also smeared?

"Whether to go to war or whether to pursue the Goryeo fleet, please decide quickly!"

A total of three Song naval officers knelt on one leg: "From now on, our side has fallen behind, under such wind speed and sea conditions, relying on the steam turbine version of the battleship, from now on we will be at full speed, which is the node where our royal frigate can finally catch up with the Goryeo fleet, the opportunity is fleeting, please give instructions as soon as possible." ”
