"Your Excellency General, the enemy's sailors have come to reinforce the army, and there are probably more than thirty warships." The adjutant general walked up to Tadashi Shimazu and said.

"Big dripping Xi!" Shimazu Tadashi said with a smile: "They came at the right time, since their main force is here, it means that they will start a decisive battle with us, and all ships are ordered to line up to meet the enemy......"

"Hello!"

On the other side, Zheng Baolin commanded the Beihai Gang Sailors to also set up a formation, Zheng Baolin stood on the top floor of the Sea Dragon and looked at the formation of the Shimazu Sailors of the Wakoku Empire, thinking about how to deal with it, if it was a hard fight, even if the final result was to win, it would be a miserable victory over his side, and there would be no few people left on his side; Following Li Qing's side, Zheng Baolin knew that this was not what Li Qing wanted, so this battle must not only be won, but also won at the lowest cost.

"General, what kind of formation do we use to meet the enemy?" The adjutant general asked Zheng Baolin.

Zheng Baolin said to the lieutenant general: "Order, do not make direct contact with the Shimazu sailors, and use our catapults and bed crossbows to carry out long-range attacks. ”

"Yes, General......"

The two armies gradually narrowed the distance of the battle, after reaching the effective range, the Beihai Gang Sailor Division immediately launched an attack, due to the gap in weapons, the Wakoku Shimazu Sailor Division has been in a passive position to be beaten, but this is not a long-term solution, after all, the fierce fire and fire crossbow arrows are used up sooner or later, although the accuracy of the Beihai Gang Sailor is not very high, but the victory lies in the huge number, all the two sides just fought, there were five or six Wa Sailor ships were ignited.

"General, such a high-intensity attack is not the way, sooner or later our fierce fire and fire crossbow arrows will be consumed." The adjutant general reminded Zheng Baolin.

"I know this, do you have any good suggestions?" Zheng Baolin said to the adjutant general.

"There is no good way to do it, or we will send someone to the bottom of the sea to scuttle their ship." The adjutant general suggested.

"There's no way to get close at such a distance." Zheng Baolin said: "I can only find another way. ”

Zheng Baolin said while carefully observing the navigation map, Zheng Baolin pointed to the navigation map and said to the deputy general: "You see that there are many reefs in this sea area, they are not familiar with the sea conditions, introduce them, block the navigation channels at both ends, and they can trap them all in it." ”

"General, this is located in the northern part of Canghai Island, where you can see Canghai Island, doesn't this mean that the position of the chief rudder is exposed?" The adjutant said eagerly.

"I can't manage so much now, immediately follow this plan and execute the order." Zheng Baolin strictly ordered; "As long as we can wipe them all out, Canghai Island will still be safe."

"Yes, the last general ...... order"

After the battle plan was drawn up, Zheng Baolin immediately ordered the entire naval fleet to start turning and moving towards Repulse Bay; There are many submarine reefs in the area of Repulse Bay, and several ships of the Beihai Gang have sunk here, and after paying a heavy price, they finally found a channel from it, which is very narrow, and only one ship can pass through the narrowest place.

"General, there's Repulse Bay ahead." The adjutant general reminded Zheng Baolin.

"Order the ships to pass through Repulse Bay in turn, and the Sea Dragon will be behind." Zheng Baolin ordered: "You will lead the first ship to sail, and after passing through the shallow bay, immediately go around to the back of the Shimazu Naval Division of the Japanese Kingdom. ”

"Yes, the last general ...... order"

After the deputy general left, Zheng Baolin took more than a dozen sea ships and began to fight again with the Wakuni Shimazu Naval Division, trying to drag down the advance of the Wakuni Shimazu Sailor Division, and evacuated to Repulse Bay while fighting, so as to buy enough time for the advance troops, but Shimazu Tadashi was not a fool, and the first reaction when he saw the Beihai Gang Sailor such a move was that this group of pirates wanted to run.

"Your Excellency, you see that the pirates seem to be running for work."

"They can't run away and do their work, concentrate all the superior forces, first eliminate the pirates who stand in our way, and then pursue them." Shimazu Tadashi issued a military order.

"Hello! Your Excellency General, seeing that they were lined up when they fled, there should be a reef area in front of them, and the subordinates thought it was better not to go in. ”

"Yaga! We are the warriors of the dignified Shimazu family, can't we compare to this group of pirates, when the time comes, the general will personally lead the army there, if you are afraid, leave the drop to work. ”

"Hello! I swear to follow His Excellency the General to the death. ”

Shimazu Tadashi has blind self-confidence, in his opinion, he occupies this absolute advantage, his goal is to eliminate this group of pirates to make meritorious contributions, as for the loss of the sailor does not care at all, as long as this group of pirates is eliminated, the Shimazu family will be able to keep the golden waterway safe, and then the rolling wealth can quickly allow the Shimazu family to re-establish a strong sailor.

"General, the vanguard has been evacuated."

"Order the remaining ships to evacuate at once." Zheng Baolin ordered.

At this time, Zheng Baolin's command had already sunk two sea ships, but the Shimazu Navy fleet was no better, sinking six and several others were heavily damaged, after saving the sailors who fell into the water, Zheng Baolin evacuated along the waterway; The waterway of Repulse Bay is very interesting, it is presented as a flare, and the further you go in, the narrower the channel becomes, so there is no problem at all with the entire Shimazu Naval Division fleet in battle formation at the beginning.

And it's not a person who runs and chases, Zheng Baolin is fighting and retreating, trying to win more time for the deputy general, the sky is getting dark, it is a very dangerous thing to sail in Repulse Bay at night, and if you are not careful, you will hit the reef and sink; Zheng Baolin ordered: "Go full speed ahead, and strive to be able to leave this ghost place before dark." ”

"General, I guess we won't be able to get out before dark."

"Try your best! By the way, the ship that had been seriously wounded sank at its narrowest point, blocking the entire channel. Zheng Baolin said.

Both fleets sailed in Repulse Bay at night, but fortunately, the Beihai Sailors still had some experience, but the Shimazu Sailors were miserable, as the channel narrowed, one after another the ships crashed into the reef, and soon sank more than a dozen.

"Your Excellency, it is too dangerous to sail at night." The deputy said; "It's better for us to wait for the drops to be too bright."

"Yaga! Pirates drop big drops of cunning. Shimazu Tadashi said angrily: "Order the ships to stop sailing and wait until dawn." ”

This order of Shimazu Tadashi bought Zheng Baolin a night's time, in fact, this position was not far from the repulse bay; The next day, when it was just dawn, Shimazu Tadashi realized that he had been fooled, and at this time, Shimazu Tadashi's first reaction was to "retreat." ”

But at this time, it was too late to retreat, and the back road had been completely blocked by Zheng Baolin's lieutenant, and the entire Shimazu Navy fleet was completely blocked in Repulse Bay; The forward route was blocked, and the backward was blocked by the Beihai Gang Sailors, and due to the narrow attack surface, the hundreds of warships of Shimazu Tadashi could not exert their full combat power at all, and the combat power that could be exerted was less than one-tenth, so in such a situation, the Beihai Gang Sailors could occupy an advantage.

The first is to ask for support......
