Chapter 400: The Inescapable Prey
Yang Yi looked up and saw that the flag soldier standing at the top of the mast was eagerly waving the small red flag in his hand.
Zheng He, who knew the language of the sea flag, hurriedly said: "There are a large number of ships approaching us!" ”
Everyone came to the side of the ship, looked at it with their eyes, faintly saw that there were many black spots on the east horizon, and then closer finally saw that they were all sea ships, there were more than ten of them, side by side, and quickly approached the "Red Sun".
Closer aboard, it was already clear that the ships were mostly medium and small ships, with giant crossbows and trebuchets on the plywoods, apparently warships.
Suddenly, Song Ji in the crowd sat down on the splint, trembling and pointing to the fleet in the distance, and said in horror: "W... Wahai people! The Uhai people are here! We're all going to die... We're all going to die...."
Everyone looked intently, and saw that there was a strange flag hanging on the mast of those ships, and there were two big characters written on the flag, which seemed to be Daguang characters but were a little different, and they could vaguely recognize the word "Wahai".
Yang Yi glanced at Song Ji, who was already bold, waved his hand, and the two soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to carry him closer to the cabin.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Zheng Hyuk worried.
Yang Yi's eyes were full of murderous weapons, and he stared coldly at the warships of the Wahai Kingdom that were getting closer and closer, and said with a smile: "The Red Sun has not been lit up since it was launched, and since the Wahai people are so friendly to the door, we naturally can't be polite." ”
Zheng He exclaimed: "Your Highness wants to fight?" But there are a lot of Uhai people, I'm afraid..."
After all, Zheng He is not from a military background, and he lacks some of the temperament of a soldier. The monkey on the side smiled and said: "Lord Zheng, my Shu army has never been afraid of anyone on land, and it must not lose its momentum when it comes to the sea." ”
Seeing that Yang Yiyi had made up his mind, Zheng He didn't say anything more, and immediately went down to arrange for the soldiers to prepare for battle.
In fact, Yang Yi is not blindly confident, first, the "Red Sun" is huge, and it is much heavier to run than a small ship, at this time, the warships of the Wahai Kingdom have approached, and it may be too late to escape, and the construction of the "Red Sun" has incorporated a lot of scientific and technological achievements and manpower and material resources in Shuzhong and Wuzhishan, if even these dozen or so small and medium-sized warships of the Wahai Kingdom cannot be defeated, it is too much to say.
However, it is said that the dozen or so attacking warships are indeed the warships of the Wakai Kingdom, and the general who leads the army is the left soldier of the Wakai State Water Division (equivalent to the sixth product) Noguchi Hidego.
Noguchi Hidego had a total of fourteen warships under his command, and this time they invaded Tosen Island and were responsible for the battle in the southern part of Tosen Island.
Noguchi Hidego felt that he was very lucky, his fleet in the battle of Tosen Island was extremely rich, the looted gold and silver treasures and captured women filled four warships, and what made him even more excited was that two hours ago, when he was leading the fleet to search the scattered islands nearby, the scout ships reported that a huge "merchant ship" had been discovered.
Without hesitation, Noguchi Hidego ordered the fleet to move rapidly closer to the "merchant ships".
When Noguchi Hidego and his warriors saw the "Red Sun", a huge ship of incomparable size, everyone was stunned and stunned, and then they began to cheer, as if they saw that the cabin of the giant ship was full of silk robes, gold and silver jewelry.
"General! How much cargo does such a large merchant ship have to carry? Are we going to get rich! The lieutenant general of Noguchi Hidego exclaimed.
Noguchi Hidego's eyes were also full of light, but compared to those crazy Japanese warriors, he obviously had a little more calmness that the main general should have, and said suspiciously: "Looking at the appearance of the ship and the flag on the mast, this giant ship should be the ship of Daguang, when did Daguang have such a huge ship?" ”
The adjutant general smiled: "Is the general worried that this is a warship?" According to our detailed report, there will definitely be no such a large warship in the Eastern Naval Division, not to mention that all the warships of the Eastern Naval Division are nested in Crescent Bay, and if there are warships coming out, it is impossible for us not to know. ”
Noguchi Hidego is obviously a cautious person, although what the deputy general said is extremely reasonable, but he is still a little uneasy: "Pass the order, send scout ships to search the nearby waters, and once you find the rest of the ships, report immediately!" ”
Half an hour later, the scout ships reported back the news, except for the giant "merchant ship" that everyone followed, there were absolutely no other ships in the sea here, not to mention war ships, not even small fishing boats.
The deputy general stared at the "Red Sun" excitedly and said: "General, even if this giant ship is a warship, it is a lonely ship, if it dares to resist, more than ten of our warships will sink it if it hits!" ”
Noguchi Hidego glared at the lieutenant general and said angrily: "Idiot! This is a treasure trove, wouldn't it be a pity to sink it?! ”
The adjutant general hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, what the general said!" ”
Noguchi Hidego turned his head and stared coldly at the huge "Red Sun", unconcealing the greed in his eyes, and ordered: "Pass my order, send two outpost ships to launch a tentative attack on the giant ship, if you are a light person, you can surrender the ship yourself, it will be more convenient." ”
"Yes! The last general is willing to go there himself and take this ship for the general! The vice admiral said excitedly, when everyone only attacks the sea ship, whoever boards the ship first will be the first to choose the most valuable things and the most beautiful women on the ship, the "Red Sun" is huge, and the beautiful women and jewels on it are absolutely innumerable.
"Be cautious, be cunning, don't be careless in love with your enemies." Noguchi Hidego admonished.
The adjutant general responded, and immediately went down and began to prepare to lead the warship to attack the "Red Sun".
Soon, three ships were dispatched to the fleet, one of which was a medium-sized warship, and the other two were small attack boats.
When the Japanese warships approached the range of ordinary ballistas, the warships stopped advancing, but dispersed, slowly swimming outside the range of ordinary ballistas, like sharks hovering around their prey, looking for the flaws in their prey, ready to pounce at any time.
Up to this point, the "Red Sun" had not moved, and no one else could be seen on the splint except for a few watchout crew members.
On the Japanese warship, the vice admiral laughed and said: "The light people have been broken, and they are all trembling in the cabin!" ”
The Japanese warriors on the ship all laughed, and this was not because they were careless, because when the Japanese warships plundered the merchant ships at sea, the same people on those merchant ships were.
The sea is a clean place, and as far as the eye can see, you can see everything in the fields.
When you encounter bandits and robbers on land, you may still have the opportunity to escape into the mountains, but on the sea, once you are discovered by Japanese people or pirates, it is a deep despair, and no matter how much you escape, you will not be able to escape the enemy's vision.
Hiding in the cabin and shivering may be the best option.
