Chapter 576: Fleet
"Third brother," Pu Xingfeng said to Pu Shougao, who had fled here, according to the name of the clan, "Do you want to send a ship to send you and your family back to China?" ”
Pu Shougao looked forward to this, but he knew that this clan brother had a ruthless personality, at this time, any celestial person expressed his desire to return to China, and thought about what Pu Xingfeng would do with his brain?
At that moment, Pu Shougao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "For my brother and that Xu Zixian's enmity is as deep as the sea, when chasing my Pu family, the old and young people suffered a lot of casualties, and my favorite young son also died on the way to escape, at this time I am still looking forward to creating a miracle, under the blessing of God, we will defeat his main force of the sailor, and when the time comes, I will kill back to Fuzhou, I will skin Xu Zixian and his family!" ”
"Very good!" Pu Xingfeng smiled with satisfaction and said to Pu Shougao: "There will be a decisive battle in a few days, and it has been consumed by the Wei people with small-scale battles before, that is my mistake, I should have given up all the territory earlier, concentrated all the manpower and big ships, and fought with the Wei people." It's not too late now, the Wei people are pressing forward step by step, watching me retreat step by step, thinking that I will lose, and he will win? I don't think it may be, those miscellaneous soldiers who are not strong-willed will run away, with my tens of thousands of heavenly warriors as spears, and my heavenly war ships as shields, the soldiers are stubborn and determined, and it is not impossible to win more with less, or even very possible! ”
Pu Xingfeng said in the end, his eyes were full of fanaticism, obviously he was already immersed in the context of what he said, as if he saw the warriors of the heavenly side fighting bravely with fewer enemies and more with religious fanaticism. The Wei people were many people and ships, but their wills were not strong, and the Han people were originally quite weak. Pu Xingfeng has seen the people of the Great Wei, whether it is Guangnan East Road-by, Fujian Pass-by, or Zhejiang Passers-by, all give him a kind of business is quite shrewd, but there is no blood courage at all weak feeling, those men, wide robes and big sleeves, polite and polite, walking with the wind, people are generally short and thin, and the body is too weak compared to the Tianfang people who grew up eating beef and mutton.
At this time, Pu Xingfeng had a deep-rooted contempt for the Wei people, a sense of responsibility for the fortunes of the heavens, and a long-term change in the mentality of pirates, which was a mixture of arrogance, arrogance, and bloodlust...... It is impossible for Pu Xingfeng to escape, and there is no way to escape. The local family also did their best to support him, not only the Pu family, but also many Tianfang families saw the opportunity on the Nanyang side, and invested heavily in it, funds, warships, and personnel were all continuously supplied.
If Pu Xingfeng is defeated here in Nanyang, there is no other way out except death, if he dares to give up and flee without authorization, it will be a dead end after returning to the heavens, even if he dies, it will affect the family.
Pu Shougao is a pure businessman like different, he was originally on the periphery of the clan, and he has been out for a hundred years, in fact, he doesn't have to stay here and wait for death, but looking at Pu Xingfeng with crazy intentions in his eyes, Pu Shougao can only lower his head and pray silently, hoping that this time there will be a miracle.
……
"Pu Xingfeng's strength is still the strongest one." In the spacious captain's room, Liu Yi sat in the main seat and said casually: "Now its strength is still seventy percent of its heyday, and there are still some threats to us." ”
"There are only a few threats left." After years of experience at sea, Tian Heng, who is already a very different commander in the chamber, is still only a young man in his twenties, in order to show his majesty and look more stable, he has a short beard on his chin, which does look a little more majestic as a general.
Tian Heng said with a smile: "According to our multi-faceted intelligence summary, it originally had as many as 120,000 subordinates, in the past two years, there have been 30,000 or 40,000 people who have escaped, and thousands of people have been killed by themselves, and now there are only about 70,000 people in Pu Xingfeng's department, and some sailors who operate the ship and logistics personnel who stay on the shore have to be removed, and there are about 40,000 people who can really fight us on the sea." This strength, I don't feel like he has seventy percent of his strength at his peak. ”
"Tian Guanjun," Lu Sihai, who was not far away, arched his hand and said with a smile: "I have something to say, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
Lu Sihai and Deng Wenjun are both in the fleet, each commanding a detachment, and their status is equivalent to that of the deputy commander, only one level worse than Tian Heng, but the two of them are foreign generals, and they are particularly polite in their words, after all, Tian Heng is not only an old general of the government army, but also a henchman brought out by His Royal Highness King Qin.
"Brother Lu is polite." Tian Heng has always admired this big man with a beard, and said at the moment: "Now is the pre-war military discussion, of course, I know everything, and I have to say everything." ”
"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point." Lu Sihai said: "In fact, Pu Xingfeng's core strength is those Tianfang people, more than ten years ago, his Tianfang subordinates were only a few hundred people at least, and they were the most fierce swordsmen. Later, the fleet became larger and larger, and the fleets of its subordinates were all handed over to the control of the Celestials, and the most elite warriors were also Celestials. However, its warships have been reduced a lot, and they have been continuously squeezed by us, and now they are trapped in Malacca, the morale of the army is low, and the warships and soldiers are far inferior to us, this battle, we still won this battle. ”
"That's a good point." Tian Heng's eyes lit up, looked at the people in the cabin, and said in a deep voice: "The time has come to finish the battle, this time we can't hesitate to solve the Pu Xingfeng and completely stabilize the South Seas. ”
"According to the calculations of those nerds, there may be another year to two years left." Liu Yi was a nerd, in fact, his face was full of praise, and after several years of strengthening of the General Staff, almost all the staff officers who remained in office were the most outstanding elites in the army, with smart minds and drawing inferences from others, these are the most basic conditions. In addition, the achievements in military science and personal training must be quite outstanding, and it is not enough to be purely intelligent, and there are many smart people in the world, who are not qualitative, and who do not understand the actual situation of the army, cannot become a good staff officer. Military science, arithmetic, cartography, and military history, the garrisons in Donghu, Beiyu and the Great Wei Dynasty, the local poverty, geographical conditions, and hydrological conditions must have a deep understanding, combined with military intelligence, the general staff's deduction has become more and more accepted by the actual situation, many of the northern major war examples will be used by the staff to make actual deductions, and most of them will have conclusions that are in line with the actual situation.
A few years ago, staff officers were really regarded as nerds, and a few years later, even if a senior general like Liu Yi mentioned it, although the tone was still a little disparaging, in fact, everyone knew that senior generals were already more and more dependent on staff officers and intelligence officers.
Deng Wenjun said: "Our naval division should also organize marines to cooperate with the landing of ships to engage the enemy, cooperate with the land and water, land and water cooperation, landing and engagement, from the military level to the Xiangdu level, the landing is open, the enemy is engaged, and the logistics are still being explored, and it is just right to have a year or two to familiarize myself with the drill." ”
Deng Wenjun has been thinking about changing martial arts to literature, but Xu Zixian forcibly kept Deng Wenjun on the grounds of the lack of talent in the naval division, which also made Wang Zhi's old department completely reassured, these old generals under Wang Zhi's command still stayed in the naval division to be reused, and more than 10,000 Wang Zhi's old departments, although not all of them entered the naval division, many of them became sailors on ships, or served in the port base, Deng Wenjun and others were reused, which also made these Wang Zhi's old departments completely relieved.
Liu Yi nodded lightly, extremely satisfied with the subordinates present. There are not only henchmen like Tian Heng, who are young and full of vigor, but also sea heroes like Deng Wenjun and Lu Sihai, who have been rolling at sea for many years and have extremely rich experience.
Such a sailor can crisscross the world and be invincible.
"Send an order to all fleets, prepare to merge in the port of Malacca, Pu Xingfeng will not leave, this battle will fight the peace of the South Seas for three hundred years!" Liu Yi's face was still calm, but his eyes were full of determination, and he was also obviously full of murderous energy.
Many sailor generals stood up together, whether it was Tian Heng and others, or the old Nanyang sailors including the children of the Ren family, or Wang Zhi's department, the people who belonged to the Kang family, these people were all under the shadow of Pu Xingfeng for many years, and they had long wanted to get rid of this giant among the pirates, the great evil of killing people, when the last moment came, the opportunity was already in their hands, many generals were excited and trembled, and they couldn't help themselves.
……
Malacca has a typical tropical rainforest climate, rainy, hot and humid, and if it is not the choke point from Asia to Europe, this place is just an ordinary, obscure offshore island of Srivijaya country.
This place has a lot of rainforest, the number of natives is very small, these years after Pu Xingfeng took this port began to control the merchant ships, many lines of looting and fighting, many natives were also killed, and those who survived fled.
Now many villages are abandoned, a few market towns are also dilapidated, only the port place because of the long-term docking of a large number of ships still have some vitality, but most of them are drunken pirates carrying wine bottles and swaying, from time to time there are fights and brawls, dead people are quite normal things, and the natives who dare to stay here can be regarded as desperate to support their families.
The whole island is about the same as an ordinary county in the interior of the Great Wei Dynasty, less than 2,000 square kilometers, most of the area has not been developed, it is completely the original landform of tropical rainforest, only the place near the port area has been developed, and it is also the main garrison point of Pu Xingfeng.
"My lord," said a shipowner with a nervous face, half-kneeling in front of Pu Xingfeng's knees, "all the ships stationed in the harbor and the men who can go on board to engage in battle have been assembled. ”
"Very good." Pu Xingfeng said indifferently: "You can also get on the ship." ”
"Yes, my lord."
The man nodded heavily, quickly bowed back, and only dared to turn around after retreating far away, and then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Pu Xingfeng didn't pay too much attention to this subordinate, his eyes were full of his fleet and subordinates.
More than 1,000 small fishing boats and sentinel boats of less than 100 tons are parked in the harbor and at sea, and the dense crowd almost makes people's scalps tingle at the sight.
These small fishing boats of more than 100 tons to 200 tons were converted into warships, and there were about 30 people on these small boats, and most of the people on board were native pirates from all over the world, and their hair was scattered, and there were even Japanese pirates with shaved heads, and the weapons in the hands of these people were also mixed up, and when Pu Xingfeng arrived at the dock, these pirates were strong and howled desperately.
These small boats are also equipped with a lot of ignition and oil, once they can get close to the enemy ship, they can also become arsonist ships, as for the arson escape, it depends on whether these pirates have the luck to swim to the safety of the sea full of oil and fire and be rescued on the ship.
More than 200 tons are serious warships, more than 100 capital ships are the elite of Pu Xingfeng's subordinates, most of them are Tianfang warriors wearing white robes and chain mail, when they see Pu Xingfeng, these people do not howl and shout like ordinary pirates, but quietly bow down, press their hands to their chests, show respect, and some strong ones cut their faces with knives and let the blood flow, indicating that they will fight to the death today.
There are more than 150 capital ships, of which more than half are more than 300 tons, more than 300 are more than 500 tons, and the largest warship is 700 tons.
Seeing the fleet in front of him, Rao is Pu Xingfeng felt that his strength was inferior to that of the Wei people, and he couldn't help but feel ambitious in his heart. Forget about those miscellaneous fish, those heavenly warriors on the battleship are definitely far above the Wei people!
