"My lord, Shimazu Hirayama has attacked!"

"Well, wait!" Liu Guoxuan sat in the cabin, leisurely sipping tea. Let's let Shimazu Hirayama fight, the more intense the fight, the better. In this way, you can reap the benefits of the fisherman! It was so easy to come out on this trip. When he gets the battleship and makes great contributions, his voice in the army will definitely be heavier, and he will be able to compete with the military advisor Chen Yonghua at that time. Well, it also missed King Yanping's henchman, Feng Xifan, the leader of the personal guard.

"Listening to the sound of this cannon, the fight is very fierce, is the Geng family on guard?" Liu Guoxuan felt a little strange when he listened to the dense cannon sound.

"My lord, no matter whether the Geng family is defenseless or not, they can't be their opponents in Shimazu Hirayama. If you die, you will have a tie with the pirates. Regardless of the outcome, our brethren on the pirate ship will get the news back as quickly as possible. ”

Liu Guoxuan nodded, took a sip of tea from the porcelain cup and continued: "Wait with peace of mind!" It's going to be dark this day, and I don't know, can I take it before dark? ”

As a good general, patience is a must-have, and Liu Guoxuan can obviously do that.

The cannon fire stopped, and he did not order the fleet to set sail, he was still waiting for reliable news from his own people. If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, in case Shimazu Pingshan loses, he rashly breaks in and is ambushed, even if he can clean up the remnants of the Geng family's navy, but he will definitely lose a lot.

It was all dark. For the current naval warfare, the night is the worst enemy. No one ever chooses to have a naval battle in the dark. Historically, there was a famous water battle on the Yangtze River, but the attacking side was the Soochow naval army, which was extremely familiar with that water. That's right, that's the Battle of Red Cliffs. At that time, the barriers between the two sides were clear, the waters were familiar, and either you died or I died. There are no other conditions, and there are no special weapons.

Although Liu Guoxuan is also very familiar with the waters of Fujian, the current water war is different from the Three Kingdoms era. The biggest weapon of death is not fire, but cannons. And in the dark night, their cannons are useless, and if they compete with the Geng family in hand-to-hand combat, he doesn't have that confidence.

And so the quiet night passed. Liu Guoxuan didn't sleep well that night, and woke up from time to time, thinking that the person who reported the news was coming.

As soon as the sky dawned, the sky was a light blue with a very light color. In the blink of an eye, a red glow appeared in the sky, slowly expanding its range and intensifying its light. After a while, the sun showed her face, little by little, as if she were carrying a heavy load, step by step, slowly trying to rise, and in a few moments she jumped out of the sea completely. At this time, the sun is not dazzling, there are still some black clouds in the sky, the clouds are very thick, and the sun is obscured from smiling. However, the sun slowly radiated light in the black clouds, and through the encirclement of the black clouds, a glowing gold border was inlaid for the black clouds. The sun eventually broke out of the encirclement and poured sunlight into the cabin.

Liu Guoxuan felt the sunshine and woke up immediately.

"It's dawn!" Immediately got up, and after a wash, he looked outside and asked, "Are our people back?" ”

"Back to my lord, not yet!"

What's going on? Liu Guoxuan felt anxious in his heart.

"Look, my lord, there's a ship over there." The guard pointed to the west and shouted loudly.

A fishing boat is coming from the direction of Fuzhou, flying the pirate flag of Shimazu Hirayama.

The fishing boat approached Liu Guoxuan's ship, and several people on the fishing boat grabbed the escalator to board the big ship. Liu Guoxuan looked at it, but it didn't look like his own people, and when he got closer, he found that these people were all Shimazu Pingshan's guards, and one of them was Shimazu's cronies and personal guards, but he didn't know the names of these guards. "I've seen Lord Liu!" Several Japanese people bowed to Liu Guoxuan.

Liu Guoxuan waited for them to get close and immediately asked, "Has Mr. Shimazu taken Mawei Port?" Why didn't there be any movement all night? ”

"Lord Liu, after we eliminated the Geng family's water army yesterday, we took the horsetail by chance. An improvised harbor had been built there, and the five warships and ours were parked in the deep harbor. However, after yesterday's battle, our losses were not small, and it was already dark, so the Lord did not immediately send someone to inform Lord Liu. Early this morning, the Lord ordered the people in Mawei to stew fish and meat, and sent me to invite Lord Liu over! ”

"Oh, I see, I thought something had happened. I didn't get a good night's sleep in vain! ”

"Then this is rude Lord Liu, we are very sorry, it is really difficult to sail at night, please forgive me!" Saying that, the guard bowed again!

"It's okay, it's okay! Then let's go now, you will lead the way in Qianming! After saying that, he asked a few Japanese people to return to the fishing boat, and did not leave them to set off together on the big ship.

Liu Guoxuan was indeed uncomfortable in his heart, listening to the reports of these Japanese people, it was obvious that the pirates had not suffered much loss, so the original idea of letting them lose both was in vain. Since this is already the case, it is not bad to be able to divide two warships without having to contribute by yourself.

Immediately, under Liu Guoxuan's order, the entire fleet of sailors slowly followed a fishing boat and headed in the direction of Fuzhou. This scene looks very weird.

At this moment, in the Mawei section of the Minjiang River, the traces of yesterday's war are still there. However, all the small forts have been covered by trees and vines. And the pirate ship and the five warships of the Geng family were all parked in the deep-water port, allowing the river to lap against the hull.

Liu Guoxuan led the fleet to slowly sail into the port, and sure enough, he found traces of a great battle, and many corpses of Geng family soldiers and destroyed cannons were left on the river beach, and he couldn't help nodding.

Directly ahead, dozens of warships were docked like a flock of ducks, the largest of which were the five British warships. At this moment, the eyes of everyone in the fleet were attracted to it. It's just that he wonders why these five battleships are undamaged, and where are the cannons on them?

On the shore of the port, Liu Guoxuan saw that Shimazu Pingshan was leading his pirates to greet him, and Liu Guoxuan was relieved that there was indeed no problem this time. It seems that the losses of Shimazu's house are indeed very small, and the Geng family is too wasteful, so vulnerable, she knew that this was the case, so she personally led the sailors to take the lead in attacking. Hey, it's too cautious, a big ship, just let it out, it's too late to regret it!

Liu Guoxuan led his generals off the boat. Shimazu Pingshan greeted him: "Oh, General Liu, it's rude, I should have sent someone to inform you yesterday, but I was worried that it would be too dangerous in the night, so I delayed it all night, and I ask General Liu for forgiveness!" ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome! Mr. Shimazu should do this, but if it were me, I would have waited until dawn to let me know! Although Liu Guoxuan was very dissatisfied in his heart, he still had to do superficial work.

"General Liu didn't know, this battle was too smooth, the Geng family navy was very stupid, they dismantled all the cannons on the battleship, placed them on the shore, and prepared to use this narrow terrain to bombard us, who knew that their gunners were very incompetent, and they were beaten away by us after a few salvos. So we took the port and captured five ships! Hahaha, according to the agreement, we need one more! Shimazu Hirayama laughed loudly, but there was a faint sadness in this laughter.

Liu Guoxuan couldn't help but turn his head to look at the five warships again, and his heart was even more unhappy, but he still smiled and said, "Then congratulations to Mr. Shimazu!" ”

"We don't have to stand here anymore, let's go, I've ordered someone to prepare a meal, and we'll go inside and eat and talk! Brothers on the ship, I'll send someone to bring them wine and meat! Shimazu Hirayama said as he pulled up Liu Guoxuan and walked inside.

"Mr. Shimazu, I think we should hurry up and drive the cannon ship away, otherwise it will be troublesome for the Geng family to send someone from Fuzhou to seize it." After Liu Guoxuan finished reading the situation, he was faintly worried in his heart, and he had an ominous premonition, as if something very bad was about to happen. But he couldn't think of anything wrong, but at the moment he wanted to leave early.

"Hey, General Liu is too worried. Yesterday, the Geng family's army was beaten by me, and they were already frightened, so King Jingnan would not attack rashly if he didn't know our situation, so let's enjoy this delicious meal after the war with peace of mind. Even if his Geng family's army comes, will seven or eight thousand of our two families still be afraid of him with hundreds of ships? Without saying anything, Shimazu Hirayama pulled Liu Guoxuan into the big tent and sat down. Immediately, the 'pirates' filled the table with delicacies.

"Come, General Liu, let's have a toast first and celebrate our victory!" Shimazu Hirayama raised his wine glass and invited Liu Guoxuan.

Seeing that this was already the case, Liu Guoxuan sat down and filled his stomach first! "Cheers to our goals! Dry! ”

"General Liu, to be honest, I didn't expect that this Geng family's army would be so vulnerable, since this is the case, I have a mention, I want you to refer to it!"

"Mr. Shimazu, please speak!" Liu Guoxuan finished drinking the wine in the cup, grabbed a chicken leg and nibbled it fiercely, and then said.

"I want to invite General Liu to attack Fuzhou City with me, how about it?" Shimazu Pingshan stared at Liu Guoxuan with straight eyes: "With so many of our warriors and so many cannons, it is easy to break through the city gate, if we can take Fuzhou City, then we will make a fortune!" ”

"I have to say, Mr. Shimazu, your construction is very tempting, however, the order that King Yanping gave me was only to capture the battleship and destroy the Geng family's naval army, and did not let me attack Fuzhou City. Let's leave after eating! Liu Guoxuan was clear in his heart, it was impossible for those pirates to take down Fuzhou City, and they were not necessarily. However, the siege losses are definitely very large, and the high walls of Fuzhou City are thick, but it is not so easy to fight. Besides, the fact that the Geng family's naval army is very poor does not mean that the army is also poor.

"Okay!" Shimazu Hirayama shrugged, just lowered his head to eat, and didn't say anything more.

More than a quarter of an hour later, the generals of the Zheng family in the big tent, including Liu Guoxuan, slowly fell down, as if they were drunk. Suddenly jumped in from outside the tent, and several wolf-like 'pirates' tied them all up!
