Chapter 165: Killing Shimazu Nobuyoshi
Shortly after lunch, Zhang Feng personally boarded the highest position of the Shanghai Lookout Post, which was equipped with a telescope and a high position to see far away. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhou Weixing accompanied Zhang Feng, stood next to Zhang Feng, and watched Zhang Feng personally hold the telescope and look at the sea in the distance seriously, because there was no one around, just Zhang Feng and Zhou Weixing, there were some words that Zhou Weixing had been holding back for a long time, and now he can finally say it.
Here, from yesterday morning to now, more than a day has passed, and there has been no trace of Shimazu Xinyi, Zhou Weixing is worried.
Zhou Weixing said: "Lord Commander, this is the entrance to the bay, there are always fishing boats or merchant ships passing by, there must be some boats that have seen us, do you think someone will quietly go to Shimazu Nobuyoshi and tell us that he is waiting for him here?" ”
Zhang Feng said slowly: "There is such a possibility, but don't worry too much, their ship speed is slow, it is not so simple to find Shimazu Nobuyoshi in the vast sea, wait patiently." ”
Seeing Zhang Feng say this, he could only wait patiently, Zhang Feng seemed very patient, not in a hurry at all, on the lookout post, holding a telescope and looking into the distance from time to time.
After a long time, Zhang Feng's expression was light, and it was obvious that Zhang Feng must have made a discovery, and Zhou Weixing next to him also discovered this change in Zhang Feng, and hurriedly asked: "Lord General Soldier, have you found it!" ”
Standing tall and seeing far away, coupled with the telescope and Zhang Feng's own good eyesight, Zhang Feng has indeed made a discovery.
Zhang Feng nodded and gave the telescope to Zhou Weixing, "Captain Zhou, take a look for yourself to see if Shimazu Nobuyoshi has come." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Weixing held the telescope and couldn't wait to look at it, sailing so far and waiting for so long, just for this Shimazu Xinyi, Zhou Weixing took the telescope and looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Feng.
The target is far away, and with the help of the telescope, I can only see three small black dots at the sea level in the distance, and if you don't look closely, you really can't find it, and even the telescope can see very blurry.
After looking at it for a while, Zhou Weixing said: "Lord Commander, there is no doubt that there are three ships, but I can't see it clearly from a distance, I don't know if it is three large merchant ships or Shimazu Nobuyoshi's ship." ”
Zhang Feng has good eyesight and can see more clearly than Zhou Weixing, Zhang Feng said: "Judging from the number and the type of ship, it is very likely that Shimazu Nobuyoshi is here, pass on my order, immediately form a formation, we will meet it, this time we must not let him run again." ”
"Yes!"
Zhou Weixing looked happy, waited for so long, and finally waited for Shimazu Xinyi, Zhou Weixing put down the binoculars and hurriedly got off the lookout post, and soon, the flag soldiers played the flag, and the sailors on the other two ships saw the flag, and the two ships immediately came over, and the three ships formed and greeted each other.
Afar.
This is exactly Shimazu Nobuyoshi who ran away like a lost dog, at the beginning, Shimazu Nobuyoshi was panicked in his heart, until he changed course and ran away, this panic gradually faded.
Standing on the bow deck, Shimazu Nobuyoshi looked in the direction of the bay and thought to himself, he finally got rid of Zhang Feng and was about to go home.
Shimazu Nobuyoshi said happily, "Yo Xi, I'm finally back." ”
The people next to them were also relieved, and when they entered the bay, everything was safe, because it was the nest of these people, although there were not a few warships in the nest, but the sense of security was real.
"It's back, it's finally back!"
"yes, it's safe!"
These people looked at the direction of the entrance of the bay with happy faces, and they all looked in the direction of the entrance of the bay, and they would enter the bay in less than an hour, and everything would be safe, and they would return home safely.
This was not the case, and it didn't take long for a Japanese sailor to come and report, and the sailor looked anxious and worried, and hurriedly trotted over, ran to the bow deck, ran to Shimazu Nobuyoshi, and said loudly.
"Your Excellency Shimazu, it's not good, it seems that there are three ships of the Ming Dynasty sailors ahead."
"Nani?" Shimazu Nobuyoshi looked stunned and said loudly: "Impossible, this is our doorstep, how can they be here, absolutely impossible!" ”
The sailor said in a panic: "Your Excellency Shimazu, this is true, the other party seems to be waiting here for us to come back, and as soon as they find us, they sail towards us, you see the distance." ”
Hearing this, Shimazu Nobuyoshi looked into the distance, standing on the deck, it was not a relatively high lookout post, Shimazu Nobuyoshi did not see anything, the vast sea, there was no shadow of any ship.
Shimazu Nobuyoshi didn't accept the reality that Zhang Feng was waiting for him to come back here, and he didn't see any trace, so he immediately shouted.
"Baga, there is no ghost, you lied to me."
The sailor was so frightened that he was lying on the deck shivering, his face was pale, but fortunately at this time, another sailor came, presumably a sailor from the lookout post, and he reported loudly.
"Your Excellency Shimazu, the other party has been sailing towards us at high speed, and I... What are we going to do? ”
Seeing that another sailor said this, Shimazu Nobuyoshi finally believed it, and personally hurriedly climbed up the lookout post, looked at the sea level in the distance, and saw that there were really three small black dots sailing towards him, and immediately said anxiously: "Quick, quickly change course." ”
A large group of Japanese sailors began to adjust the angle of the sails, but it seemed that the wind was not very strong, and the speed of the three ships was relatively slow, and the steering was relatively slow.
Shimazu Nobuyoshi scolded angrily, "Yaga, this damn ghost weather. ”
Two days ago it was stormy, today it was calm, the sea breeze was only blowing gently, and now at this time, Shimazu Nobuyoshi was eager to blow a strong wind so that his ship could run fast with the wind, but this was impossible.
When the three warships of Shimazu Nobuyoshi changed course and were about to flee into the distance, Zhang Feng's ship came, with the Shanghai taking the lead, followed by two other ships, the Suzhou and the 3,000-material warship, respectively, and the speed of the three ships was more than ten knots.
The distance was approaching very quickly, and Shimazu Nobuyoshi could even see the muzzles of the guns on the Shanghai, and seeing the black hole muzzles facing his ship, Shimazu Nobuyoshi was even more anxious in his heart, and repeatedly anxiously urged to run.
How did the sail ship run past Zhang Feng's steam-powered ship.
The distance was close, the Shanghai ironclad ship opened fire first, and one shell after another hit the three warships of Shimazu Nobuyoshi, at this time, where could Shimazu Nobuyoshi care about fighting back, and there was only one thought, that is, to escape as soon as possible.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The cannon rumbled, the three Japanese warships sawdust flew sideways, three against three, there was no suspense in the battle at all, and soon a Japanese warship was sunk, and the warship of a thousand materials began to enter the water after a few shots, and began to sink after a few more shots.
"Baga, fight with them!"
Seeing that he could not escape, Shimazu Nobuyoshi also came up with ferocity, and commanded the two remaining warships to start preparing to open fire, but where was there any opportunity to open fire.
I saw the Suzhou ironclad ship at full speed, rushing towards another Japanese warship, this warship was already relatively damaged after being hit by many guns, and the tonnage was not large, it was estimated that it was less than a thousand materials, and it was directly scattered by the "rough-skinned" Suzhou after such a collision.
"Yaga !!"
Shimazu Nobuyoshi was so angry that he vomited blood, and he didn't think about it, at his own doorstep, he was bullied by Zhang Feng like this, thinking that he used to have dozens of warships, and the naval army was strong, but now he has become a plucked chicken, and Shimazu Nobuyoshi hates it to death in his heart.
Shimazu Nobuyoshi only has three warships, one was sunk, one was sunk, and now only Shimazu Nobuyoshi's flagship remains, however, this flagship has also suffered a lot of artillery just now, and it has been damaged, and it is estimated that another shelling can break up the entire ship.
Surprisingly, whether it was the Shanghai, or the Suzhou, or the 3,000 warship, they had all stopped firing and quickly surrounded the ship of Shimazu Nobuyoshi in the middle, obviously, this was Zhang Feng's order.
Zhang Feng wanted to see what Shimadzu Nobuyoshi looked like, he was so able to run, and he ran away from his hands every time.
Shimazu Nobuyoshi looked around and saw that he was surrounded in the middle, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair, and looked at the entrance to Kagoshima Bay in the distance, and not far away was his hometown, so close at hand, but he couldn't go back home.
Anyway, he couldn't run away, and Shimazu Nobuyoshi commanded his warship to approach the ironclad ship Shanghai, and the two ships were less than fifty meters apart.
Shimazu Nobuyoshi stood on the deck, Kiri was shouting in Japanese, Zhang Feng couldn't understand a word, but knew that this person should be Shimazu Nobuyoshi.
Zhang Feng took Zhou Weixing and a large group of sailors to the bow deck of the Shanghai, and looked at Shimazu Nobuyoshi from a distance of thirty or fifty meters.
On Shimazu Nobuyoshi's warship, there was obviously someone who was fluent in Chinese, and was shouting at the top of his voice: "Which is Your Excellency Zhang Feng, our Excellency Shimazu wants to compete with His Excellency Zhang Feng in the way of the sword, so as to fight to the death." ”
Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Captain Zhou, what kind of sword do they want us to try, it seems that they are very confident in their sword-breaking way." ”
Zhou Weixing said a little worriedly: "Lord Commander, then I'll pick a few good ones to compare with them, do you think it's okay?" ”
Zhang Feng said with a relaxed face: "Compared to what, we have guns, no matter how good our martial arts are, we will knock them down with one shot, and talk nonsense with them." ”
Zhang Feng just wanted to take a look at the appearance of Shimazu Nobuyoshi, and now that he has seen it clearly, there is no need to ink with the other party, so Zhang Feng stretched out his hand and said, "That gun is here." ”
Zhou Weixing seemed to know what Zhang Feng was going to do, and immediately reached out and took a spear, Zhang Feng took the gun, pulled the bolt, loaded the paper shell bullet, and then aimed the gun at Shimazu Nobuyoshi who was standing at the bow of the boat, the distance was only a few tens of meters, such a distance, Zhang Feng was still very confident in his marksmanship.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
