Chapter 984: Battle of Amami Island (10)

The warship under Zhao Hongyu's command was very fast, especially when it was at full power.

The wind and propellers allowed the ships to speed faster than any other ship of the era.

Since leaving Nagasaki, Li Xiang has been constantly shocked by the surprises brought by the imperial warships.

The three Ming-style warships he brought with him had to be tied up by several cables because they were too slow. Let the Imperial warships lead the way, after all, this is the only way not to slow down the entire fleet.

In this way, Li Xiang left Nagasaki in less than ten hours and returned to the waters of Amami Island. This was a little more than three times faster than the usual time, and Li Xiang was really shocked.

He couldn't have imagined that there was such a fast warship in this world, which was completely beyond his expectations.

But Li Xiang thought about it again, and he felt very happy.

After all, now he has taken refuge in the Song Empire in the Americas, and he is getting along well with the crown prince. According to the contact in Nagasaki, Li Xiang felt that Zhao Hongyu was still very approachable and easy to get along with.

At the same time, he was also appointed as the Admiral of the Kyushu Naval Division, which is comparable to an official rank of the Fujian General Army.

Zheng Zhilong is just like that, what else is he Li Xiang not satisfied with.

Besides, the crown prince promised him that he would hand over forty-nine imperial warships from Nagasaki to him to lead. Then it means that in the future, his command will be this kind of fleet with many guns, large hulls, fast speeds, and elite sailors.

Ha Lu Ha!

Li Xiang even fantasized that after having such an elite fleet, did he still need to be afraid of Zheng Zhilong?

When the time comes, it would be good if he didn't go to Zheng Zhilong for trouble, if Zheng Zhilong took the initiative to find trouble with him, it would really be death.

Generally. Li Xiang's mood along the way is still very good.

At the same time, because he was about to return to Amami Island.

So, in his heart now, it's really comfortable.

This time he went to Nagasaki, and he found a good way out for his brothers, and he thought that the brothers would be very happy after announcing it back and forth.

But when he was about to return to Amami Island with his fleet, he noticed that something was wrong.

His nephew Yang Biao discovered it early, and puffs of black smoke appeared at the southern end of Amami Island.

That's weird.

Is Amami Island on fire?

If you think about it, there are no trees on Amami Island at all, and even if there is some vegetation, it is impossible to burn like this.

So. There is only one possibility, naval battle!

In Li Xiang's mind, such a possibility flashed suddenly.

Could it be that Zheng Zhilong's people killed him?

After Li Xiang thought of such a situation, her body couldn't help but feel a spirit.

"Biaozi!"

"Uncle, I'm here."

Yang Biao was standing beside Li Xiang, and he found that his uncle suddenly became a little flustered.

"You, climb the pole yourself, and use this to see what the situation is up to the south."

Li Xiang has old arms and legs in the end, so this matter can only be left to his young nephew.

Meantime. Li Xiang gave a series of orders.

"Inform the boats, turn around, and sail in the direction of the south of the island, full speed!"

Now that terrible possibility has been thought of. Li Xiang's heart is not steady.

After all, who else can come to Amami Island at this time except Zheng Zhilong.

As long as he thinks of this, Li Xiangke is not calm.

At this time, Yang Biao had already climbed up along the main pole. He stood at the highest point and took his monoculars and looked to the south.

Wang Ren had fought fiercely with the people of Amami Island five nautical miles from the southern tip of the island, counting Li Xiang and their own distance. In fact, the two sides are quite far apart.

Even with monoculars made by Europeans, the distance that can be seen is not very far.

It's just that the monocular used by Yang Biao looks like it was made by Europeans in this era. But in fact, this was bought back from the virtual world, and both the craftsmanship and the multiples were much higher than those of this era.

Therefore, Yang Biao can clearly see that there is a fierce battle taking place in the southern section.

Even, he could clearly see that one of the two sides of the fierce battle was the fleet under the banner of Li Xiang.

Seeing this, Yang Biao didn't dare to delay at the moment.

You must know that it is your own companions in battle.

Grandma's, Zheng Zhilong's gang of guys are really good at picking the right time, and they actually came to attack Amami Island at this time.

Fortunately, things went smoothly in Nagasaki and there were no accidents.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be that when we come back, this side of Amami Island will become Zheng Zhilong's.

Yang Biao felt even more fortunate that they didn't only have three ships when they came back this time, and they were accompanied by thirty sophisticated imperial warships.

These thirty imperial warships can definitely help them defeat those enemies in the south.

Along the way, it wasn't just Li Xiang who explored these warships of the Song Empire, in fact, these people who accompanied Li Xiang all explored together.

When they knew the data of the Imperial warships, how could they not count them in their hearts.

Yang Biao didn't dare to delay at all and slid off the pole, and then trotted to Li Xiang's side.

"How's that, do you see what's going on at the South End?"

As soon as Yang Biao stood still, Li Xiang hurriedly asked.

"Uncle, a naval battle is breaking out at the southern end, and one of the parties is ours."

Yang Biao said what he had just seen.

What the!

Our people!

When Li Xiang listened to her nephew's answer, she was excited.

"Damn, it must be Zheng Zhilong. He is very good at picking the time, and he actually took advantage of Lao Tzu's trip to Nagasaki to move Amami Island. I said why hasn't this guy moved in the past six months, and I dare to say that I want to give us a cold drink, and strive for a pot.

Li Xiang gritted his teeth with hatred.

Fortunately, he had already given the order just now, and the fleet sailed at full speed to the south side of the island.

So, now the whole fleet is speeding towards the south of the island, and it won't be long before they reach the battlefield.

"I can see clearly from the clairvoyance that our brother can't stand it anymore. However, their opponent does not seem to be Zheng Zhilong. Because the Zheng family's banner was not hung, the banner of the king was played. ”

Yang Biao suddenly thought of the scene he had seen from the clairvoyant mirror just now, and couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.

"Isn't it Zheng Zhilong?"

Li Xiang frowned.

Could it be that the banner of the king is a new force on the sea?

I want to take advantage of the opportunity to take away my inheritance...... This is probably unlikely.

The situation of Zheng Zhilong's domination of the sea is already very obvious, and I don't think there should be that kind of guy who doesn't want to die and will jump out at this time.

Therefore, the matter of the new sea potential should not be very reliable.

If that is the case, who is fighting your own fleet?

Li Xiang went through this matter in his mind very quickly.

Fierce. He thought of someone.

That is Wang Renzeng, one of the twelve leaders under Zheng Zhilong.

Immediately, Li Xiang's face became extremely difficult to look at.

"I know who Lu Dao is."

Li Xiang pressed it and said hatefully.

"Uncle, do you think who it is?"

Yang Biao hurriedly asked.

Li Xiang nodded and said, "Not bad!" I've already figured out who it is, and you know this person. Hearing his uncle say this, Yang Biao also showed a puzzled look on his face.

Uncle said he knew?

Could it be an acquaintance?

Yang Biao suddenly thought of this situation.

After all, after the end of the naval battle of Naha last year, Li Xiang's brother. There were some other people who were united together, and they all left Li Xiang one after another and took refuge in Zheng Zhilong's side.

According to what his uncle said just now, could it be that these former brothers and partners who took refuge in Zheng Zhilong?

If that's the case. That's really damn it.

Even if they took refuge in Zheng Zhilong, they shouldn't forget their past feelings and fight them for Zheng Zhilong in such a short period of time.

But even so, who can say anything about the things in the world.

Maybe there are some of them. wanted to invite pets to sell good things on Zheng Zhilong's side, so there was today's naval battle.

Always, human nature. It's elusive.

used to be called brothers, and that was because Li Xiang's power was still there.

But now, his uncle is no longer majestic, and the little people who want to come to him have jumped out one by one.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about those guys who have taken refuge in Zheng Zhilong. I'm talking about Wang Renzeng, who is an old friend, so I guess you won't forget this guy. ”

Who!

Wang Renzeng!

I'm x his grandmother's, isn't it?

Wang Zi banner, under the command of Zheng Zhilong, only this guy is surnamed Wang.

I didn't think of it.

After Li Xiang's reminder, Yang Biao came to his senses.

"Uncle, do you mean that the person who fought with our brother was Wang Renzeng?"

Yang Biao's face also became ugly.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the change in their faces is definitely not due to fear, but to anger.

"Damn, it's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there." , Li Xiang actually came to Wen Crepe at this time. After speaking, a hideous smile bloomed on his face, and Yang Biao shuddered when he saw it.

Oops, my!

It seems that his uncle hates Wang Renzeng to the bone marrow.

But think about it, as far as the little thing that Wang Renzeng did is concerned, this guy is really a guy who is not a son of man.

It is not unreasonable for his uncle to hate him so much.

What's more, when I mentioned Wang Renzeng, didn't I also have an itchy tooth of hatred.

"Pass the order, go full speed ahead! Ready for battle, our goal is to fly the king's flag ship ......" (to be continued......
