Chapter 25 Waiting for Work with Ease
Mixed Jianglong didn't let Yu Xiaotian wait for a long time, and before the boat under his command escaped back to Nangantang, he actually felt that things were not going well.
Although he didn't despise this Yu Haiwolf too much, but for more than a month, the pirates on Yu Xiaotian's side and in the Fuzhou area did not move at all, and anyone would gradually relax their vigilance.
Therefore, recently, Mingjianglong was no longer too worried, so he relaxed the restraint on his subordinates and began to let them be freer, allowing them to behave in the area between the mouth of the Minjiang River and Haitan Island.
But these days, he gradually discovered that some of his subordinates who should have returned to Nangantang did not return to Nangantang with boats normally, and more and more of his subordinates and ships who had lost contact with him in the past few days.
As a result, Mingjianglong sensed that something was not going well, and began to restrain his men from hunting, and gradually took back the boats that had been scattered to Nangantang, and at the same time sent small boats outside to look for those subordinate ships that failed to return to Nangantang on time.
It wasn't until a boat desperately escaped the round-up of the sea wolf, fled back to Nangantang, and brought back to Nangantang the news that they were attacked by the Sea Wolf Gang at sea, that Mingjianglong and his subordinates realized that these days, those subordinates who did not return to Nangantang as usual had been quietly cleaned up by the Sea Wolf Gang outside.
This time he was so angry that he was angry, and immediately took the case, scolding Yu Xiaotian for not being a thing, and he didn't even say hello, so he secretly began to be ruthless to him.
Originally, he thought that if Yu Haiwolf wanted to do something with him, he should summon people to come over and find him for a duel like the Shark Gang did before, and he also had a way to find out the news of the Shark Gang in advance, so there was no possibility of being caught off guard.
But now after changing this to the head of the sea wolf, he no longer plays cards according to the rules of the Shark Gang at all, and he quietly and secretly kills him.
Now he still doesn't know how many ships and men he has lost these days, but looking at the number of ships that have returned, he also feels that he has suffered a lot of losses!
So the mixed river dragon angrily summoned his subordinates, sent people out to find out the traces of the sea wolf, and at the same time ordered all the other subordinates to stay in Nangantang, and not to go out hunting separately, in case the sea wolf blocked them outside again.
Soon the people who were sent out of Lu returned to Nangantang, because they met the sea wolf's ship before they went out of Lu and received the sea wolf's war letter.
After reading the war book handed to him by Yu Xiaotian, Mixed Jianglong realized that Yu Xiaotian was already waiting for him to come in the area of East Itch Island, and asked Mixed River Dragon to go to East Itch Island to find him to settle the old and new accounts.
After the mixed river dragon pulled this letter of war to him from Yu Xiaotianxia, without saying a word, he took his subordinates to board the ship and anchor, concentrated more than a dozen big ships of his main force, and added more than a dozen small boats, and rushed to Dongitch Island.
Although Mixed Jianglong also knew that they had suffered a lot of losses during this time, he still thought that even if Yu Xiaotian was a ruthless character, after all, the time to go to the sea as a thief was still short, and he had recently heard about Xiaotian's overthrow of the Shark Gang, and Mixed Jianglong felt that the reason why Yu Xiaotian was able to come to this point was a big trick.
In addition, he basically figured out Yu Xiaotian's strength, thinking that although he was recently attacked by Yu Xiaotian and suffered a lot of losses, with the strength he had at hand, he could still defeat this sea wolf.
Mingjianglong was a little impulsive at this time, so he was not as steady as before he considered the problem, so before the enemy situation was completely clear, he brazenly decided to take people south to Dongitch Island and have a big showdown with Yu Xiaotian.
As the sentry boats scattered out of the sand lit the wolf smoke, the smoke rose into the sky, and immediately a rapid bamboo whistle sounded on the beach east of Higashiitch Island, and at the same time the sound of a low horn trumpet.
All the sea wolf tribes resting on the island, including those subordinates of Liu Yidao and others, after hearing these sounds and seeing the thick smoke appearing on the sea in the distance, they all got up and rushed to the beachhead, and the sampans neatly arranged on the seashore were quickly rowed by the sailors, and rushed towards the big ships moored on the sea like arrows.
The big ship threw down the soft ladder, and before the sampan could be firmly next to the big ship, the sailors had already jumped up and grabbed the soft ladder and climbed onto the big ship.
After transporting the crew to the larger ship, the small sampan was quickly hooked by the lowered rope hook and lifted onto the ship by the ship's sailors with a winch.
The sails were quickly lifted and reoriented under the manipulation of the crews, and the stone anchors and iron anchors were also pulled out of the seabed by the piercing and other crew members.
The various types of boats moored in the bay, under the operation of the crew on board, started one after another, and the first to move were the small boats that were sentinel ships and auxiliary vessels, and they cooperated with each other to drag some large ships with rows or oars, and led the big ships out of the bay.
The whole process took only about half an hour, and more than a dozen of the sea wolf's main battle ships basically sailed out of the bay, but Liu Yidao, the one-eyed dragon and others' subordinates had just hurriedly raised the sails at this time, and the ship had just begun to move.
Looking at the ships of the sea wolves that had sailed out of the harbor, Liu Yidao stood on his boat and shook his head incessantly, usually Liu Yidao is not a very rude person, but at this time he still couldn't help but want to scold.
When he heard the news just now, the big guys all moved together, but he watched the sea wolf's subordinates move quickly, organize and coordinate, although they were nervous, but they were not flustered, and they boarded the ship in an orderly manner, which seemed to be unhappy, but they easily surpassed all his subordinates and boarded their respective ships.
On the other hand, he and his other companions, as soon as they heard the alarm, became a swarm of bees, rushing to the beach, and then shouting and squaanding, trying to get back to their ship faster.
But the result was that they did not hurry up, and they panicked more and more slowly, and when they were all on board, all the people on the ships of the sea wolves had already begun to lift anchor and raise their sails.
In this comparison, Liu Yidao and the others know more about the gap between them and the sea wolf, and Yu Xiaotian doesn't know how to get it, a large group of former shark gang rabble, in his hands, how long has it become, and it has become like this, although they have also trained their subordinates during this time, but how can they not reach the level of others?
The gang could only command their subordinates with self-pity, followed behind the sea wolf, and sailed out of the bay of East Itch Island step by step, adjusted the boats on the sea, and began to form a ship formation, heading in the direction of the warning on the sea with the wind.
Yu Xiaotian turned his head to look at the ships that were coming up, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he shook his head with a smile, but then he began to order.
Under his command, the fleet quickly sailed into the upper hand position, seizing the upper hand, according to his rules, whenever the sea wolf engages the enemy on the sea, it must seize the upper hand, do not leave a little retreat for themselves, and ensure that everyone on each ship has to go all out into the next battle under the influence of the wind.
Although the sentinel ship discovered the fleet of the mixed river dragon was not early, but the mixed river dragon led the fleet from Nangantang to kill here, which happened to be in a state of headwind, and it was impossible for them to sail directly to Dongitch Island along the way, and they had to take a zigzag route back and forth on the sea surface to ensure that the sails of the ships were windy.
Therefore, after discovering their traces, Yu Xiaotian and the others still had enough time to prepare for the battle, which was also the reason why he asked Mingjiang Long to come to Dongitch Island for a decisive battle.
The sea on the east side of Dongitch Island is the vast sea, the sea surface is very wide, and it is a very ideal place for a decisive battle at sea, not to mention that now Yu Xiaotian's sea wolf and the strength of several peers are no longer weaker than the strength of the mixed river dragon, so there is no need for him to choose the narrow sea surface and the mixed river dragon for a decisive battle.
In this way, the initiative to choose the battlefield is completely in his hands, and he can fight as much as he wants, and he can't make other choices without mixing with Jianglong.
An hour or so, the fleet of Chaojianglong finally appeared in everyone's sight, at this time, Yu Xiaotian was not even interested in saying hello to Mingjianglong to negotiate, and when he got to this point, he had no choice but to see the truth under his hands.
So he immediately ordered the upper bucket on the mast to send a flag, and ordered the fleet to follow him to the left and right, and pounced directly on the fleet of the mixed river dragon, without giving the other party more time to prepare.
Moreover, he had already discussed with Wang Hong and other experienced subordinates in advance how to fight this battle with Chaojianglong, and under the brainstorming of everyone, he determined a preliminary battle plan.
He divided his fleet into two, with his seat ship as the mainstay, all the main ships of the Seawolf Gang were incorporated into his team, and the rest of his companions' ships were formed into another team and handed over to Liu Yidao to lead the command, and at the same time handed over those small boats that could be used as sentry ships to Liu Yidao's command.
In the bow of some of the small sailing boats, Yu Xiaotian sent someone to install several large iron nails with barbed spikes on the bow of these small boats, and piled up some firewood and grass on the boat, poured some whale oil, and covered the oiled firewood and grass with a wet cloth, in case it was accidentally hit by an enemy rocket, and the fire would be ignited immediately.
These ships are used as a support for the battle, so that two waves of attack waves are formed, even if the mixed river dragon withstands the first wave of attacks with the fleet, but the formation will be disrupted, and it will no longer be able to effectively resist the second wave of attacks.
So this trick is a very bad trick, and it is also the experience summed up by Wang Hong and his gang of guys who are old at sea.
After the fleet completed the distribution and assembly on the sea, Yu Xiaotian didn't say a word, and took the main ship of the sea wolf, like a wolf pack, head-on and downwind, and pounced on the oncoming fleet of mixed river dragons.
Mixed Jianglong was angry along the way, and he couldn't wait to put in his wings and fly directly to East Itch Island to settle accounts with this Yu Sea Wolf, he kept urging his subordinates to speed up and rush to East Itch Island as soon as possible.
Chaojiang Long's subordinates were also very angry at this time, thinking that when had they suffered such a big loss! Now a novice who has not dried up is so yin to them, if they don't get it back this time, how can they continue to mix in Fuzhou in the future?
Therefore, under the urging of Chen Jiu, the Mixed River Dragon, these Mixed River Dragon's subordinates also worked hard to speed up the ship and rushed towards East Itch Island.
