"What is Togo-kun thinking?" Lin Yiqing's voice sounded behind Heihachiro Togo.

Hearing Lin Yiqing's voice, Togo Heihachiro's heart couldn't help but shrink.

He felt as if two sword-like gazes pierced him from behind him, and saw through his thoughts, and his body froze for a while, and he didn't even dare to turn his head back.

A warm and powerful hand patted him on the shoulder, and Heihachiro Togo felt Lin Yiqing standing beside him, and he took a deep breath and used all his energy to calm himself down.

Somehow, every time he saw Lin Yiqing, Heihachiro Togo felt inexplicably afraid.

"What is Togo-kun thinking? So fascinating? Lin Yiqing didn't seem to notice Togo Heihachiro's abnormality, but asked again with a smile.

"Here, it should be the ancient battlefield of the 'Battle of Hong'an'." Heihachiro Togo sighed and said.

"Yes, this is it." Lin Yiqing looked up at the blue sky and said with a smile, "In the past, eight million heavenly gods descended divine winds to destroy the enemy. If you encounter a thief today, there must be a kamikaze to help Dongxiang Jun succeed. ”

Listening to Lin Yiqing's words, Togo Heihachiro secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

If there really are 8 million gods, the divine wind that will fall today will only destroy your own gang of "thieves", right? After all, the emperor is still on the side of the government......

"In the past, the source of the source of the land here, intercepted by the samurai, unable to penetrate, and then the kamikaze arrived, the source of the source of the collapse." Togo Heihachiro said, "This is not an auspicious place, Lin Jun thinks that the government will send troops to land here?" ”

"That's right." Lin Yiqing nodded affirmatively, "There was a letter before, the government sent a thousand troops to land here, wanting to support Kumamoto, and then I heard that the two prefectures of Fukuoka Saga were afraid that the troops were thin, and they were attacked by our army, and the way back was cut off, so they boarded the ship again and retreated." I guess they're going to make a comeback. ”

"If the enemy comes back, the force will be much larger than the last time, right?" Heihachiro Togo looked back at the gunboat "Denamaru" behind him, and said with some concern.

This time, Lin Yiqing brought only two gunboats, the "Mt. Fuji" and the "Electric Maru," to patrol the coastline. Among them, the "Mount Fuji" has a displacement of 1,000 tons, and after refitting, it has been replaced with 2 120-mm Krupp breech-loading guns and 4 75-mm Krupp breech guns, and the new boiler can barely reach a speed of 11 knots, while the "Electric Shot" is a small gunboat with a displacement of 780 tons converted from a merchant ship, and the main armament is 1 120-mm Krupp breech-loading gun and a 75-mm Krupp breech gun, because the engine is newer, the speed of this modified gunboat can reach 12 knots, which is slightly faster than the "Mount Fuji".

Togo Heihachiro believes that if the government army sends a large force to land in Hakata Bay, there will be a lot of ships escorting the escort, and Lin Yiqing only brought two old gunboats to intercept it, although it is quite a bit of the spirit of Gao Bin Jin's "single ship camp", but Togo Heihachiro does not think that Lin Yiqing can replicate the miracle of Gao Bin Jinsaku.

"If the government army sends many ships to come, Togo-kun can just try the blunt advantages of this new German-made Krupp cannon." Lin Yiqing understood the worry in Togo Heihachiro's heart, and said with a smile.

Togo Heihachiro listened to Lin Yiqing's very casual answer, and had no intention of joking with him, but hid his inner fear deeply and focused on the situation on the sea.

The "Mt. Fuji" and the "Denamaru" formed a two-ship parallel team and searched along the coastline all the way, when a strong wind suddenly rose on the sea, and large dark clouds rolled in, obscuring the sun, and the sky soon became dark.

The waves began to surge, crashing against the hull of the "Mt. Fuji", and Heihachiro Togo felt the shaking under his feet, and his heart hung with it.

He peeked at Lin Yiqing beside him, but Lin Yiqing at this time was standing there like copper cast iron, holding a telescope, inspecting the sea.

Heihachiro Togo suddenly had this feeling in his heart: It seems that there is nothing in heaven and earth that can shake Lin Yiqing's will!

"As expected, the enemy army has increased its strength this time." Lin Yiqing sneered, put down the binoculars, pointed ahead, and said, "The boat they sent to you Dongxiangjun as a target is really a lot!" ”

Togo Heihachiro was shocked, and immediately raised the binoculars, looked in the direction of Lin Yiqing's finger, and saw one small black dot after another floating on the sea.

Heihachiro Togo held his breath and watched carefully, the small black dot gradually became larger, revealing the outline of the steamship, and as the distance got closer, little by little, the smoke column became obvious.

Heihachiro Togo roughly clicked, and when he found at least a dozen columns of smoke, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Enemy ships spotted right ahead! More than three! At this time, the Satsuma sailors on the lookout also raised the alarm loudly.

Hearing the watchman's shout, Togo Heihachiro's hand holding the telescope trembled a little.

"Five warships, the rest are troop carriers." Lin Yiqing put down the binoculars, turned his head and smiled at Heihachiro Togo, and said, "I estimate that the number of enemy troops should be around 10,000. ”

Listening to Lin Yiqing's words, the faces of several officers on the flybridge all changed color, and Togo Heihachiro's heart sank even more suddenly.

At this time, the government fleet also spotted the two Satsuma warships, immediately sounded a shrill siren, turned the ship's bow, and sailed straight over.

Seeing that the three-masted warship led by a government army seemed to be larger than the "Mt. Fuji", Heihachiro Togo felt even more chilled.

"It was an American warship, and it was also an old gunboat, which should be of the 'Kichisa' class, with a tonnage of about 1,500 tons and 10 cannons." Lin Yiqing glanced at the warship and said, "It should be an old ship purchased by the government from the United States." ”

"Oh." Heihachiro Togo was surprised by Lin Yiqing's understanding of the situation of the enemy ship, but at this time, his heart was full of fear, so he only answered without speaking.

"What? Togo-kun scared? Lin Yiqing asked quietly.

"Nope!" Heihachiro Togo subconsciously replied immediately.

"The enemy ships are there." Lin Yiqing pointed to the government fleet in the distance, looked at Heihachiro Togo, and asked, "The speed and firepower of the enemy ships are not as good as our ships, but they are more numerous than our ships. The trend of outnumbering is very obvious, what does Dongxiang-kun plan to do? ”

Togo Heihachiro knew that Lin Yiqing had seen through his thoughts, his face became slightly pale, his lips trembled a few times, and he didn't answer.

Togo Heihachiro's reaction, Lin Yiqing saw it all in his eyes, he did not reprimand as Togo Heihachiro imagined, but said calmly: "Togo-kun thinks that if General Nelson is here today, what will he do?" ”
