Chapter 406: Approaching Dongxian Island
Fear is something that can break people's hearts.
In many cases, fear is born not because of how difficult it is, but because of the unknown, the devastating unknown.
The samurai spirit of the Wakai people is an extremely extreme ideology, which allows the Wakai samurai to die fearlessly in battle. If those enemies stand in front of Noguchi Hidego, Noguchi Hidego can fight to the end regardless of everything.
But now, the Uhai people are not fighting, but being slaughtered, and they don't even see the appearance of the enemy.
Noguchi Hidego chose to retreat, and he swore that he would definitely pay back the crimes of these light people, of course, provided that he could live until that day.
Just as the two warships of Noguchi Xiuxiang were retreating, Zheng He gave an order, and all the trebuchets and ballistas on the "Red Sun" fired ammunition at it in unison, and after two rounds of salvo fire, the warship next to Noguchi Xiuxiang immediately ignited a raging fire and soon began to sink.
At this time, Noguchi Hidego's main ship finally traveled more than 500 paces, out of the range of conventional trebuchets.
Seeing that there was only one main ship left in his fleet in less than an hour, Noguchi Hidego, who thought he was out of danger, was almost crazy, brandishing the Japanese knife in his hand and desperately slashing the side of the ship, pointing at the huge "Red Sun", and his eyes were full of bloodshot anger and said: "Bastard! Damn the Light Man! I'm going to kill you all!! ”
As the words fell, the crossbow arrows and gunpowder bullets scattered in the sky suddenly stopped.
Noguchi Hidego was about to continue scolding, when he suddenly saw the trebuchets on the giant ship facing his main ship in unison, and at this time, Noguchi Hidego's main ship had already traveled at least six hundred paces.
"No... Impossible..."Of course, Noguchi Hidego knew what the Shu army on the giant ship wanted to do, but he definitely didn't believe that the Shu army's trebuchet could launch such a long distance.
Soon, the overwhelming black rain and the rumbling sound in my ears told Noguchi Hidego the answer...

When Murong Sinan fished Noguchi Xiuxiang, who drank a stomach full of water, fished up from the sea like a water dog, this admiral in the Japanese Navy no longer had the demeanor of the past.
Noguchi Hidego was lying on the deck of the "Red Sun", his face was pale, his eyes were rolling, and streams of sea water were constantly emerging from the air.
Murong Sinan smiled, stepped forward and stepped on Noguchi Xiuxiang's stomach without saying anything, and a column of water suddenly erupted from Noguchi Xiuxiang's mouth.
"Uh... Uhh
"Ah!!h Noguchi Hidego sat up violently, wanting to reach out and pull out the Japanese knife at his waist, but the Japanese knife had long been missing, and when he looked up again, there was a tall light man standing not far in front of him, it was the iron bull who had just slaughtered the Japanese people.
"I'll kill you!" Noguchi Hidego went crazy and pounced on the iron bull.
Seeing this, Tie Niu didn't panic, but just smiled innocently, and took a step forward to raise his leg and kicked Noguchi Hidego back.
Noguchi Xiuxiang fell heavily on the deck, this person was still somewhat capable, moaned on the ground for a while and then struggled to stand up, looked up, and saw that there was a light man standing next to him who was smiling at himself, but it was Murong Sinan.
Noguchi Xiuxiang is now like a mad dog, when he saw Murong Sinan's hateful smile, he pounced on it without saying anything, but it was a pity that Murong Sinan was more fierce than the iron bull.
Murong Sinan saw Noguchi Xiuxiang rushing forward, and moved slightly to the side, making Noguchi Xiuxiang pounce in the air, and before he could get up, Murong Sinan raised his leg and stepped on it heavily.
"Click!"
"Ah!!h Noguchi Hidego's two leg bones were broken, and he was rolling on the ground in low pain.
At this time, the onlookers of the Shu army separated, and Yang Yi slowly walked up, followed by Zheng He, Hou Jian'er and others.
Yang Yi looked down at Noguchi Xiuxiang and asked with a smile: "Are you the chief general of the Wahai people?" ”
The leg bone was broken, and Noguchi Xiuxiang, who was almost fainting in pain, raised his head with difficulty, and saw Yang Yi in front of him, and the two masters who had just attacked him were standing behind him, and he didn't understand who the young light man in front of him was, but he guessed that he was the chief official here.
I don't know if Noguchi Xiuxiang couldn't understand Yang Yi's Daguang words, or if he had a strong temperament, he glared at Yang Yi angrily, and said a lot of Japanese dialect crackling.
Although Yang Yi didn't know what this Wahai was talking about, he knew that he was scolding himself by looking at his expression, frowned, and asked, "Who understands Wahai dialect?" ”
Everyone was silent, the people on this boat were all from the south, and they basically hadn't seen much of the Uhai people, let alone the Uhai dialect, even Zheng He, who had been running around at sea all the year round, had little contact with the Uhai people.
This is difficult to do, no one understands the Japanese language, there is no way to communicate, and if there is no communication, there is no way to get what Yang Yi wants to know, Yang Yi waved it, and asked people to carry Noguchi Xiuxiang down first, and told the military doctor not to let him die.
At this time, the crowd said: "Big... My lord! I... I know where there are people who know the Uhai dialect. ”
Everyone looked back, but it was Song Ji, the light man who was rescued by everyone at noon, who spoke.
Yang Yi beckoned to Song Ji and motioned for him to come forward.
Song Ji cautiously stepped forward, knelt down in front of Yang Yi with a plop, and cried: "My lord!" The adults broke the Japanese people, and Song Ji thanked the dead villagers and fathers! Thank you, sir! ”
As he spoke, Song Ji kowtowed on the deck.
Yang Yi hurriedly stepped forward, helped Song Ji up, and comforted: "You don't have to thank me, although we are not from this place, we are all soldiers of Daguang, that is, soldiers of Daguang, and naturally have the duty of protecting the territory and annihilating the criminals." ”
Song Ji wept bitterly and said, "My lord is mighty! Over the years, the Japanese thieves have been plundering this place all the year round, we go out to sea to fish is always risky, as long as we encounter these hateful Japanese people must have no return, this time the Japanese people landed on the island and invaded, the fishermen and people on each island were slaughtered, and the tragic death. ”
Yang Yi sighed and asked, "You just said that someone can speak Wahai, who is it?" ”
Song Ji said: "It's our village chief, he once ran by sea, and he is familiar with what some Japanese people say, but... But..."
"But what?" Yang Yi asked.
Song Ji said bitterly: "But half a month ago, the Japanese invaded Dongxian Island, and the old village chief ordered us young people to run out for help, and he led the old and weak women and children to hide in the sea cave, but I don't know if they are still alive at this time. ”
Yang Yi nodded, pondered for a moment and asked, "How far is Dongxian Island from here?" How far is it from Yazhou Capital? ”
"Back to my lord, Dongxian Island is a half-day voyage from here, and a two-day sea journey from Daguang."
"How many Wahai people are there on the island?" Yang Yi asked again.
"There are about 500 Uhai people in Dongxian Island." Song Ji replied.
Yang Yi pointed to the Japanese warships that were still burning on the sea, and said, "How many Japanese warships are there like this?" ”
Song Ji shook his head and said, "It's not much, but the number of murderous people in the Uhai is far greater than mine, and such a fleet is already their relatively large fleet." ”
Yang Yi looked back at Zheng He and the others behind him and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Zheng He said: "Your Highness wants to dock at Dongxian Island?" ”
The "Red Sun" warship is too large and too dazzling, once the "Red Sun" is close to the coast of Yazhou, it will inevitably attract attention, whether it is the Japanese people or Yu Xiang of Yazhou at this time, it will not be a good thing for them to know Yang Yi's whereabouts.
Therefore, the best way to keep the "Red Sun" secret and let everyone go ashore in a smaller boat.
Zheng He and others also felt that this plan was feasible and agreed one after another.
After asking for the detailed location of Dongxian Island, the "Red Sun" slowly headed eastward, leaving only the billowing smoke in the afterglow of the setting sun and several warships of the Wahai Kingdom that were not yet silent...
