Fantasy fans., the fastest update of the latest chapter of the prosperous Ming Dynasty!

This is a trap, it is Lu Jin's plan to formulate an ambush strategy after catching Nei Ying Tong Li who is hiding in Weihai and learning that the pirates are using the news he transmits.

In order to defeat the Japanese in one fell swoop and achieve the goal of once and for all, this time Lu Jin not only asked Tong Li to transmit false news to the merchants in Hangzhou, causing the pirates to attack by mistake, but also made full preparations on these merchant ships. It goes without saying that almost all of the men on it are elite officers and soldiers, and they are also issued with ample bows and crossbows and other weapons that are most suitable for fighting on the water.

In addition, these seemingly ordinary merchant ships have also been modified, in addition to sailing with wind power, there are also water wheels under the cabin that can steer the ship to move and steer, and the wheel hub is stepped on by human hands to make the ship automatic without wind. In one hand, it did have a surprising effect at the beginning of the battle, killing those thieves who wanted to board the ship by surprise.

That's not all, because in itself it is a strategy to lure the Japanese to attack, and then take the opportunity to fight back, so it is naturally impossible for the five ships to load the goods. And the ship can show a fully loaded appearance, in addition to hiding more soldiers and horses inside, but also because it has prepared a lot of weapons that can be used in water battles. At this time, they threw themselves off the boat, and the wooden barrels that were burning brightly were the representatives of it.

When it comes to water warfare, Lu Zhen easily thinks of mines, which are a sharp weapon for killing and injuring enemy ships. However, at this time, Da Ming obviously couldn't make such sharp firearms, so after thinking about it, he retreated to the next best thing, and had a large number of wooden barrels collected and filled with a certain amount of gunpowder and oil in them to replace mines.

Although in terms of power, these things are far inferior to mines, but in practical use, the effect is not bad. Drifting downwind, the flaming barrel soon came to the pirate boats, and the flames on them burned to the ships.

Moreover, these barrels are not one or two, but many of them are gathered together, and in the blink of an eye, several positions of a ship can be set on fire. If it were a big boat, there would be room to dodge if it was set on fire, but in this small boat that could only carry three or five people, the situation was completely different.

In the midst of the exclamations, the small boats crowded in front of them caught fire one after another, and many people, in fear, immediately abandoned the boats and jumped into the water. As a result, the situation became even worse, and the small boat, which was not controlled by people, soon burned completely, and actually became the trigger for the surrounding ships to ignite.

Seeing this messy scene, Xie Jingyuan's face was even more pale, he could see it completely, this was clearly a trap for the government against him, and people had already made sufficient preparations. However, he didn't panic too much, and he didn't lose an inch, because he had confidence in his team, and even so, he could still turn the tide of the battle!

"Raise the flag, let the two ships of the Sea Dragon and the Sea Jiao attack from the side with my Sea Eagle, destroy an enemy ship first, and create an opportunity for the boat to get out and retreat!" He immediately gave the order, but instead of retreating, he rose to the occasion!

The flag was raised, and the two big ships that had been far away from the battlefield with Xie Jingyuan's ship, the Sea Eagle, immediately raised their sails and rushed towards the merchant ship on the left.

At this time, the officers and soldiers over there were constantly harvesting the lives of the enemy in the small boat below who were desperately trying to get out with crossbow arrows. Suddenly, seeing three big ships crashing straight towards him, all the soldiers were also stunned, and their movements in their hands were naturally slow.

Although the officers and soldiers on these ships are the elite of the Shandong army, they are not the soldiers of water warfare after all, in fact, there are almost no millions of troops in the Ming Dynasty who can go to sea to fight. It is not easy for them to stand firm and kill the enemy in a ship with constant wind and waves and ups and downs. When facing the attack of three large ships of the same size, they naturally gave birth to fear.

The ship's commander understood this, and while directing everyone to continue attacking the enemy who was already in disarray, he gave orders to the people below to move the ship to the side as soon as possible.

Under the desperate trampling of dozens of soldiers, the merchant ship moved a distance to the side again without raising its sails, slightly avoiding the opposing party's rushing position.

However, at sea, especially in today's high winds and waves, this method of relying on manpower to turn to travel can only have the effect of a surprise attack after all, and it is impossible to rely on conventional means at all. After seeing the movement of the merchant ships, the pirates on several large ships only adjusted slightly, and the ships rushed towards him again.

At the same time, because of the sudden departure of this ship, the pressure on the pirates on the small boat was lightened, and they quickly fled far away. At this time, the pirates, who had recovered from the shock and panic at the beginning, finally showed their strength to cross the sea, even if they were huddled together, and there were still ships on fire around them, and many small boats still scattered to the side by the wind and current.

And as the ships continued to retreat, even some of the ships besieged in the middle were able to move, and they also avoided in the direction of fewer ships. All this does not need to be deliberately commanded by people, just relying on the habit of fighting at sea for many years, they can do everything to the best of their ability.

And their retreat also created a better time for their own big ships to attack. Originally, the three big ships were worried that they would crash into their own ships, but now that everyone has dispersed, they have saved a lot of trouble and immediately rushed to the target with all their might.

When the soldiers on the merchant ship saw this, they all shouted in shock, and in a panic, they released bursts of arrows at the enemy. It's a pity that at this time, there is still a distance between the two sides, and the wind direction is not right, so their arrows almost never hit the target.

While the crossbowmen were loading their arrows, the enemy ships approached, and then the two ships collided violently with a thud.

The soldiers, who could barely stand on the deck, were suddenly staggered by this collision, and a few people went to help the side of the ship in order to stabilize their figures, but they even threw away the weapons in their hands. There were quite a few people who screamed and bumped into each other and rolled into a ball.

On the pirate side, the situation is completely different. Instead of falling, they jumped up, and with a wave of their hands, hooks and cables were thrown into the mast of the merchant ship. After hooking, they snapped to their target ship with their knives in their mouths, rope in both hands.

It was only then that the soldiers on the ship came to their senses and hurried to cut the ropes with their knives. Unfortunately, it was too late by this time, and the enemy had already pounced on the ship before they could make a move. In desperation, the soldiers had no choice but to turn back to meet the enemy.

Although the officers and soldiers were all elite, when it came to hand-to-hand combat on cramped and undulating sea ships, it was obvious that they were far from being the opponents of these bandits who had robbed passing ships all year round. Moreover, the superiority in force that they could rely on at the beginning was completely reversed as the pirates on the three ships kept jumping over, so that they completely fell into passivity, and in a short time, nearly half of them were killed and wounded.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the other four merchant ships were surprised, and immediately urged the ships to rush to this direction, trying to rescue their comrades.

But this time, it fell into the hands of the enemy. Because the two sides of the war are not just a few large ships, there are dozens of pirate ships scattered around them. Seeing that there was an opportunity to take advantage of, they didn't need Xie Jingyuan's flagship to order, they had already pounced again like wolves smelling blood.

When they saw them kill again, the officers and soldiers on the four ships hurriedly fired arrows to stop them, and some of them put down the fire barrels again. However, after suffering losses, these guys also became smarter, just cruising outside, and did not kill the real one. After all, the difference in size between the ships on both sides is too big, and it is not easy to fight closely.

But that alone was enough for the pirates. With these small boats in check, the four merchant ships could no longer get close to their attacked companions, and could only watch as the soldiers over there were killed by the thieves one by one and fell to the ground......

This battle completely exposed the weaknesses of the officers and troops who were not good at naval warfare. Even, there is no sign of mutual contact and cooperation between them. Although the five ships are not weak in combat alone, they can not exert their due lethality when facing pirate ships that are far from each other and cooperate with each other.

Even if it was the officials and the military who took the initiative this time, this was a trap set by them. As a result, after a period of fighting, the officers and soldiers fell into an extremely disadvantageous situation. Once the pirates have killed all the officers and soldiers on a ship, they will attack the next target with the ship they have stolen.

On the Sea Eagle, Xie Jingyuan, who did not kill with his subordinates, finally had a smile on his face: "What if you use conspiracy against me?" I cannot be defeated on this sea. You're just adding strength to me! ”

A disdainful smile hung on the corner of his mouth, looking at the officials and soldiers who had become a plate of scattered sand, Xie Jingyuan wanted to ask them, who is your leader? Why didn't I give you some orders to cooperate in the battle?

At this time, after more than half an hour of fighting, the officers and soldiers of the whole ship had been killed and wounded, and then the big ship completely fell into the hands of pirates. They quickly turned the bow of the ship and slammed into their next nearest target. And the officers and soldiers on the latter's ship are still trying their best to deal with the small boats that are constantly harassing and attacking, and they can't even do the corresponding countermeasures or dodge.

The two ships collide......d again, which means that a battle with a huge disparity in strength will begin again.

Just as Xie Jingyuan looked at the scene in front of him proudly, thinking that the battle was about to end, a small boat in the rear quickly sailed over, and on board was a bloodstained, embarrassed and anxious pirate......

This is a trap, it is Lu Jin's plan to formulate an ambush strategy after catching Nei Ying Tong Li who is hiding in Weihai and learning that the pirates are using the news he transmits.
