Chapter 518: Vulnerable
The majestic Zhenguo Gong began a long-distance pursuit.
Biting the Japanese ship on the opposite side, he will never let go.
The ship's helmsmen and sailors were pleasant in the process.
These guys are already familiar with the performance of the majestic Zhenguo Gong, and every sailor has become accustomed to the post they are in, and they are very relaxed.
Hu Kaishan looks out at the bow of the boat every day, like a Wangfu stone, looking at what he wants to wear, waiting for something.
Tang Yin was much more relaxed, he was different from the others, as a Wenchen, he was not only the master of the ship, but also the recorder of the ship.
He needs to record his route along the way, and he needs to record what happened on the ship, even if it is just the experience of some ships, of course, the experience of combat is also essential.
Tang Yin these days, trying to recall, the way of fighting and the level of combat, he recalled the battle with the Japanese Kou, scene after scene, in his mind, like a marquee, for several days, he did not dare to make a judgment easily, but after pondering these days, in the end, he still accepted the cruel reality, and deliberately wrote it in his diary.
"I look at the method of warfare, at the beginning of Kou, still able to morale like a rainbow, fighting bravely, once frustrated, this is a plate of scattered sand, looking at the wind and fleeing, there is no rule in wartime, all by personal bravery, courage is brave, but there is no more than three or five enemies, I look at it again and again, the so-called Wokou, the name does not match the truth, vulnerable to a blow!"
After making up his mind that it was fragile, Tang Yin was a little confused, he was also from Jiangnan, and he had heard of the cruelty of the Japanese Invaders, and even he couldn't imagine that he would make such a judgment about it.
He even felt that he was underestimating the Japanese Kou.
Judging from the dictation of Hu Kaishan and Qi Jingtong, I am afraid that this comment is quite high-minded.
Tang Yin smiled bitterly in his heart and shook his head, people at sea, they always feel lonely, but on this boat, there is no poetry, some are a group of vulgar people, all in the dead of night, playing abacus beads, preparing the sailors of the guards, arithmetic is always excellent, when they enter the camp, it is only the simplest addition and subtraction, but later, they began to be able to skillfully plan to plate beads, and it didn't take long for a group of outstanding people to be able to easily perform mental arithmetic, countless numbers, They always come up with accurate answers quickly.
If Fang Jifan was here, he would definitely think that this preparation guard was simply a high-level math training class of the Ming Dynasty, and it wouldn't be long before these guys were afraid that they would have to move towards calculus, algebra and geometric principles.
It was a boring voyage for more than ten days.
Finally......
Hu Kaishan, who was at the bow of the boat every day and looked at the boat with a telescope, suddenly howled: "Island, find the island...... Ready, all his* ready! ”
His voice was like a magic robe, and all of a sudden, the whole ship went up and down, boiling.
It's a big island......
And Qi Jingtong is familiar with this place, but he can't be more familiar.
"This is Hyakwei Island." Qi Jingtong's eyes lit up, staring at this familiar island, thinking that at the beginning, Penglai Water Village was here, sinking in the sand and breaking the halberd, Qi Jingtong was also here, and suffered the greatest shame in his life.
And today, he is back and appears before the island again.
He cheered up, his eyes were shining, and he ordered very solemnly: "Order, the ship follows the Japanese ship in front of it into the harbor, be careful of the reef, and follow the direction of the Japanese ship." ”
"To the East...... Lower mainsail ......"
"Thirty directions to the southeast!"
At this time, the most test is the ability of the helmsman.
At the beginning, the fleet of Penglai Water Village came here because they were not familiar with the waterways here, and many ships directly hit the reef and suffered a big loss.
This time it was different, the majestic Zhenguo Gong bit the Japanese ship in front of him, they turned left, the majestic Zhenguo Gong turned left, they turned right, the ship turned right, the helmsman must follow behind the Japanese ship, a slight deviation, it may be the same as the original Penglai sailors, directly hit the rock.
This is the purpose of biting the Japanese boats.
It doesn't make sense to just know each other's lair.
The vicinity of the island is densely packed with reefs, and without being familiar with the hydrology and geography, even the best ships cannot easily cross this water area and reach the opposite island.
The sailor who watched kept reporting the number, and then, like a relay, the number passed to the helmsman's ears, and the helmsman was finally willing to eat his turnips, and with a click, he devoured the radish that had been in his mouth for a long time, almost a little dehydrated, and cursed in his mouth, and kept turning the rudder, he was naked, and the biceps muscles on his arms were bulging, constantly correcting the direction.
Tang Yin was very excited, wearing a cloak, the sea breeze was blowing, and his clothes were fluttering for a while, making a rustling sound.
Tang Yin held his head high and arrived at the deck with all the officials and others on the ship, he took out his binoculars and looked at the island.
Forthwith...... Tang Yin took a deep breath and said to the person beside him, "Qi Qianhu, you're right, here...... Sure enough, it was the nest of the Wakos. ”
Qi Jingtong pressed the handle of the knife on his waist, looking a little nervous, and replied very seriously: "The number of people on the island is around a thousand." ”
"I think it's more than that." Tang Yin shook his head lightly and said the estimated number in his heart: "I'm afraid, there are no less than three thousand, but I'm afraid that there are many female dependents, and there are many people who are captured by these Japanese invaders, and those who can fight should be around 1,500 people." ”
The corners of Tang Yin's mouth were slightly hooked, and a little light flashed in his eyes.
"Pass the order, all the sailors, prepare to land on the island to fight, the thieves are in front of you, they are entrenched here, attacking my Ming Dynasty everywhere coastal defense, today, the thieves are in front of you, make meritorious contributions, at this time!"
Sailors, you look at me, I look at you, barely let out a cheer.
Hu Kaishan shouted excitedly: "Fortune is today, everyone will be rewarded, the war dead, the bereavement will be preferential, the silver and white will be given, all follow Lao Tzu, and those who retreat from the battle will be killed!" ”
"Kill!"
All of a sudden, the sailors were eager to jump three feet high, and they all burst into tears of excitement and drew their weapons one after another.
………………
The Japanese boat in front of it slowly entered the harbor of the island.
Although they knew that the Ming army behind them was in hot pursuit, and they also knew the strength of these Ming troops, so at the beginning, although they died at sea, they quickly saw through the intentions of the Ming army.
These Ming troops had no intention of pursuing them and killing them all, but they had deeper plans and attempts, hoping that they would take the Ming army into Baiwei Island.
So at the beginning, they refused to lead the Ming army into the island.
But...... There are fewer and fewer supplies on board, or they will be completely deprived of supplies on this sea, starving to death, dying of thirst, or ...... It was to lead the ships of the Ming army to Baiwei Island, hoping that the Japanese on the island would fight a decisive battle with the Ming army with them.
One by one, they were exhausted, as if their bodies had fallen apart, to the point where they had only a body, no soul, and no thought.
To a certain extent, they consciously achieved their own goal, they deliberately circled the sea, and one more moment of circumference could consume some of the physical strength of the Ming army that followed behind.
But in the end, the people on the boat couldn't hold it anymore.
They arrived at the harbor and anchored.
And on the island, countless people poured out.
They were elated, like a Chinese New Year.
The ships that attacked Ningbo Mansion have been out to sea for so long, and there has been no news so far, and many people still think that something happened, but now, they are back, and they must have returned with a full load.
Countless people crowded, waiting for someone to get off the boat, and the tired man let out a loud roar: "The Ming army is coming, there is a Ming army." ”
All the pirates entrenched here were stunned.
Yes...... Ming Army.
Those Ming soldiers still dared to come.
Didn't the Ming army sailor suffer enough at the beginning?
It's crazy to dare to come now.
A moment later, countless Japanese leaders flocked to a village on the island.
This Zhuangzi is actually a replica of the inland Jiangnan courtyard, in this isolated island, compared with other dilapidated shacks, this house is somewhat outstanding.
Soon, a man wearing a scarf and a Confucian shirt listened solemnly to the report of a group of Japanese people.
This person's name is Zhang Ye, he is still a famous scholar, smuggling goods in the sea all the year round, to put it bluntly, he is a private businessman, and he is also a giant in the East China Sea, countless Japanese robbers have heard of it, in this Baiwei Island, recruited thousands of Japanese robbers, not only smuggling, but also hijacking other private ships in the past, people call it the white-faced Shura, and his complexion is indeed different from ordinary Japanese robbers, his complexion is like jade, he put his hands behind his back, frowned, and said in a pure Japanese language.
"How bold is the Ming army? Haven't the guards along the coast always been vulnerable? There are still Ming troops who dare to go to the sea to come here...... That Nakano Jiro has always been strong in martial arts, and he is brave and ......"
He looked surprised.
has been at sea for so many years, it can be said that he is crisscrossing the East China Sea, and other Japanese cowards, seeing his white-faced Shura, all avoid him like snakes and scorpions, as for the Ming army, not to mention, in his eyes, he is just a chicken and a dog.
"Zhang Sang, Zhang Sang......" A Japanese man rushed in panting at this time: "The Ming army landed, the Ming army landed." ”
"How many?"
"More than three hundred!"
Zhang Ye smiled, his face twitched with laughter, as if he had heard a big joke, and then his eyes became terrifying, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"There is a road in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door to hell, you dare to break in, you came just in time, today, just kill all these Ming troops, teach people to know how powerful the old man is, and gather all the horses...... Do it. ”
There was a cold mockery in his voice.
The Japanese in the hall were all sharpening their knives, and in their opinion, it seemed that dealing with more than 300 officers and soldiers was just a piece of cake.
