On the deck of the command ship, as soon as Sun Chuanmou walked out of the cabin, he saw many of his generals standing at the railing, using binoculars to look into the distance, mainly in the northeast and southeast directions, and there was also a noisy scene mixed with the sound of ear to ear, whispering, and a noisy scene.

"Look, are those the Red Flag Gang? No, how can a small pirate rabble have so many warships?! ”

"yes, I've only seen part of it, and it's still appearing one after another, not like the scale of a pirate."

"Not only that, have you noticed? Not only is the scale very large, but his arrangement is also very particular, and the combination between large and small warships is not like a pirate force at all, but more like the quality of a sailor. ”

"Not to mention, after you reminded me, it's really like this, the gap between medium and large warships is appropriate, and the small patrol ships in the middle shuttle among them, faintly overwhelming!"

......

Looking at the scene in front of him, Sun Chuanmou frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, because he also found something abnormal, and faintly felt that the situation was a little bad, in the northeast and southeast directions, there were two black shadows, constantly approaching, slowly coming, and the outline became more and more obvious. Just a rough estimate in his heart, combined with his previous experience at sea, Sun Chuanmou knew that these generals of his were right, and they could not blame anything, although there was no further observation from the telescope.

Sun Chuanmou did not stop any longer, walked forward, still maintaining an unhurried look. Seeing this situation, the lookout on the side was very sensible, and without any orders, he immediately walked a few steps briskly and was responsible for opening the way in front. Every time he opened a general, he would point to the back, and when he saw the person coming from behind, the sailor general, who was originally a little annoyed, immediately maintained a respectful look and retreated to both sides.

After standing still, Sun Chuanmou just stretched out his right hand and hung it in the air, and immediately a person with a quick reaction stepped forward, respectfully handed over the telescope, and wanted to compliment him, but was frightened back by Sun Chuanmou's non-angry and self-righteous expression.

Holding the telescope in both hands, he raised his eyes, first to the southeast and then to the northeast, and slowly observed between the two, staring at each other. As the two silhouettes in the distance became clearer and clearer, and the clearer they could be seen through the telescope, Sun Chuanmou's old face became heavier and heavier, and the atmosphere became tense.

As time passed, Sun Chuanmou's brows furrowed more and more, and when everyone around him was very nervous, he suddenly asked, "Who of you knows, is there a navy called Thunder on the Westerners' side?" ”

For a moment, everyone did not react, and they wondered why the Admiral asked like this? Subconsciously pick up the telescope and look into the distance again. Gradually, no one was heard answering his question, and when Sun Chuanmou was about to get angry, a general said: "Lord Admiral, this thunder should not be the navy of the Western Ocean. Although their clothes and dresses are very similar to those of foreigners, their appearance is more like that of fishermen in Fujian and Zhejiang, with dark skin. And, under their hats, if you look closely, you can see that they all have braids."

As the general spoke, Sun Chuanmou shook the telescope with both hands, nodded frequently, and his originally relaxed expression became solemn again, as if muttering: "En... Indeed, then, this thunder is not a navy of the Western Ocean, and it is not a friendly force of our temporary alliance. It seems that these people are not good. ”

Without waiting for everyone to echo and express their opinions, Sun Chuanmou's voice sounded again and issued a series of orders.

"Convey my order, the assistant general Lin Guoliang is in charge of the left flank and spread out to the north; General Lin Fa protected the right flank and spread out to the south; The chief soldier Xu Tinggui slowed down the course, was in charge of the rear of the palace, and was ready to turn around at any time. ”

At the same time, he warned the thunderbolt not to come any closer, and if it did, ordered the ships in front to open fire and bombard the nearby waters. If you still dare to move forward, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, let me blow up and sink their warship! ”

However, when Sun Chuanmou was about to give an order, a general of the Navy Division next to him suddenly interrupted his words and reminded loudly: "My lord, look at the southeast direction!" ”

Immediately, regardless of whether the situation was discovered or not, everyone on the command ship looked in a southeasterly direction. I saw that a very small boat came downwind, with a canvas on it, and the people on it rowed, and the speed was very fast!

It has been less than half a year since the last operation to exterminate the Black Flag Gang, seeing this situation, Sun Chuanmou immediately reacted and said quickly: "Quick, order the warships at the front to fire immediately, blow up and sink those small boats for me, and the warships in the future will sail to both sides to avoid those ships with fierce fire oil (oil) from igniting and setting themselves on fire!" ”

"The patrol gunboats are cruising around the warship, and once the large warship fails to dodge in time, the thundering fireship approaches, and the patrol gunboat takes on the task of defending it and blows it up!"

At this moment, there is no need for Sun Chuanmou to say that everyone knows that this navy in the name of thunder is not friend or foe, and is ready to attack itself.

Whether it is Lin Guoliang, the assistant deputy general, or the staff general Lin Fa and the general Xu Tinggui, they are not only Sun Chuanmou's henchmen, people to rely on, but also proficient in naval warfare. Otherwise, without a background, no matter how loyal they are, no matter how much they look to Sun Chuan, they will not climb to the current position?

Therefore, before Sun Chuanmou's order arrived, the three of them had already taken action, directing the ships they were responsible for to run, which coincided with Sun Chuanmou's order, and was more prescient, more wise and decisive. Unlike Sun Chuanmou, when he first saw the thunder, he actually fantasized that it was his ally.

As soon as Sun Chuanmou's order was finished, the warships of the Guangzhou Navy Division turned their course, and the small boats coming from the southeast were ignited in an instant, and one by one the thunderous soldiers jumped into the river and swam back, and were soon rescued by the patrol gunboats behind and fished out of the water.

Yes, the Thunder Battleship formations in the northeast and southeast directions were commanded by Qi Zhiyuan and Zhang Baozai respectively. At this time, on Qi Zhiyuan's command ship, at the railing, the adjutant on the side asked puzzledly: "Division commander, is it too early for Battalion Commander Zhang to use the fireboat?" Even if it is going with the wind, there is still a long way to go, and the Guangzhou sailor has the time to react to dodge, isn't this a surprise to the snake? ”

Qi Zhiyuan had a faint smile on his face, he was very kind, he seemed to be in a good mood, and said loudly: "You, you only know one thing but you don't know the other, you only understand the usefulness of the fireboat, but you don't know how to use it flexibly." ”

The adjutant was confused and puzzled, and when he was about to ask again, Qi Zhiyuan continued: "Although the role of the fireship is to achieve a surprising and winning effect, it will attack the enemy in a short distance and ignite it with the wind, so as to plunge the opponent's warship into a sea of fire. However, according to our current situation, it is difficult to achieve this effect of fireships. ”

"Therefore, Battalion Commander Zhang's purpose is not to inflict heavy damage on the enemy through fireships, but to attract the enemy's attention through this move, taking advantage of the cover of fire and thick smoke, so that the warships in the rear will follow closely, so as to achieve the purpose of dividing the Guangzhou naval division and disrupting the enemy's formation."
