Although the training of the officers and soldiers was insufficient, at this time, under the orders of Yu Zhigao's generals, no one dared to slack off, and most of the ships soon left the anchorage and began to assemble on the sea.

The generals, including Yu Zhigao, also boarded their ships one after another, began to sail off the shore, merged into the fleet assembled on the sea, began to command the fleet to gather in the center, and slowly turned the bow of the ship, heading towards the east of Nanri Island Island.

Before the officers and troops could fully assemble on the sea, a huge fleet of ships began to appear on the sea in the northeast corner of Nanri Island, and rode the wind and waves towards the officers and sailors.

Yu Zhigao's eyes shrank suddenly, and his heart seemed to be clenched, it stands to reason that the fleet of officers and sailors he leads now is not less than that of the sea wolves, and it is a little more, reaching more than two hundred, and the quality does not seem to be bad, more than half of which are lucky ships.

But after seeing the fleet of sea wolves, he still couldn't help but feel a palpitation, he quickly took out the monocular that he bought at a high price, this kind of telescope magnification is not high, at most it is only two or three times the magnification, but in this era of Da Ming, this kind of thing is still a rare artifact, leaning in front of his eyes, he began to observe carefully.

But the more he looked, the worse his face became, because through the binoculars, he actually saw that in the fleet of the sea wolves, two tall Western-style plywood boats, as their core, were heading towards his fleet.

Yu Zhigao has dealt with the red-haired people many times, and has even been to Macao on business, of course, he has also seen some large plywood ships of the Francophone man, he is very clear about the power of the large plywood boats, these ships have two or even three layers of gun cabins, the hull is tall and sturdy, can carry a large number of artillery, a comparable to the official army and the navy division of the war ship as many as ten, extremely difficult to deal with.

In the past two years, the official army and the red-haired man fought many times, and when facing this kind of large plywood boat, they were beaten to the point that they were powerless, but he didn't expect that today he actually saw two such warships in the fleet of sea wolves.

Now he began to regret it all at once, regretting that he shouldn't have let the red-haired man's fleet leave here a few days ago, and now he was almost certain that the sea wolf had found out that the red-haired man's fleet had left here, so he would move the army here.

And he felt that this time things were probably not as simple as he thought, the sea wolf didn't plan to give up Nanri Island at all, and this Nanri Island said something unpleasant, maybe it was a bait thrown by the sea wolf to them, the sea wolf was not afraid of them, it was likely that the sea wolf was waiting for their army to gather on Nanri Island before attacking them.

As soon as he thought of this, Yu Zhigao was immediately taken aback, and felt cold in his heart, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.

And the generals who followed Yu Zhigao, after seeing the formation of the sea wolf fleet, were also shocked, although they had already heard that the strength of the sea wolf was strong, but they did not expect that they were so strong.

It seems that the number of their fleet is not very large, but after taking a closer look, they know that the strength of such a fleet is far stronger than the strength of their fleet.

Don't look at the number of ships with more than 1,000 brigs that can really be called big ships, not a lot, among the hundreds of ships, there can be dozens to hundreds of larger brigs is quite good, and the rest are basically some small fishing boats or simply larger sampans.

And the fleet of sea wolves they saw today was almost all two-masted ships, the kind of sea ships that could go to sea, and the smallest ones were probably some ships of 200 materials, not to mention the few large ships that seemed to be at least 600 materials, and what made them even more shocked was that there were actually two Western-style large plywood ships among them.

At this moment, the hearts of all the generals were suddenly raised to their throats, and they knew very well where the gap between their fleet and the other party was.

Let's not talk about the training matters, let's just talk about these ships, many of the ships in their fleet are old ships, there are more than a dozen really new ships, and some are larger merchant ships that have been forcibly requisitioned by the government.

And although they have been equipped with a lot of Hongyi cannons recently, but these ships, there are not many Hongyi cannons really installed, because Hongyi cannons are too heavy, every time they have to load a boat, the ship must be greatly modified in order to withstand the weight of these Hongyi cannons, often a boat can only be equipped with one door, and can not be fired at the side of the ship casually, in order to level the center of gravity of the ship, the lower part of the hull under the stern cabin must be added thousands of pounds of stones, making the ship stupid and stupid.

Speaking of which, the Hongyi cannon is not small, but they have not practiced firing artillery at sea many times, and no one knows what the gunner's accuracy is.

But the sea wolf is different, because the sea wolf is rumored to be able to forge cannons, which after they landed on Nanri Island, they inspected the burned and abandoned workshop area, and some people saw from some traces in the ruins that the sea wolf was originally located here to shoot guns, from these smashed molten iron furnaces and casting tables, they can judge that the sea wolf does indeed have the ability to forge its own artillery.

From a half-demolished foundry platform, they judged that the cannons forged by the sea wolf were definitely not some light small cannons, but some rather large heavy cannons.

If the sea wolf can forge its own cannon, then the number of cannons they have in their hands must be quite a lot, and they were secretly glad before, fortunately, the sea wolf retreated from the difficulty, gave up Nanri Island, and did not die with them here, otherwise they would definitely be ugly.

But before they could do it, just when they had already surpassed the Beijing Division, the sea wolf came back in a big way, and actually gathered so many warships and pounced on them.

At this time, the hearts of all the generals who stayed here sank to the bottom of the sea and became cold and cold, knowing that they were probably going to be in trouble today.

Just when Yu Zhigao organized the official army and naval division to go to sea to fight, Yu Xiaotian was also on the new sea wave in the fleet, coldly observing the fleet of the official army and naval division with a telescope.

Looking from afar, you can see the sea surface in the northern sea area of Nanri Island, at this time there are a large number of official ships, hanging all kinds of flags, there are Ming military flags, there are also military generals to recognize the flag, in the center of a boat is hung is a handsome flag, in the middle of the big book Yu character, you can know that this is Yu Zhigao's ship.

Although the number of warships of the official army seems to be very large, in fact, the number of ships is not much different from that of the sea wolf, but it has a small advantage.

However, if it is compared to the quality, then it is a bit ridiculous, because the warships of the sea wolves are all selected ships in good condition, and except for those flying sloops, most of them are brigs, and the smallest is also a ship of nearly two hundred materials.

Moreover, these ships have undergone careful maintenance and a certain degree of modification, so that they can carry more guns, among which the main warships have also changed the steering wheel steering mechanism, so that the ship's operation performance and navigation performance have been greatly improved, and the firepower is far stronger than the general Chinese warships several grades.

In the case of the small difference in the number of the two sides, the strength of the sea wolf's fleet is actually much higher than that of the opponent, which is why he did not use a surprise attack this time to deal with the official and military sailors.

Since he wants to make his navy bigger, then he can't just think about winning by surprise, when he dealt with Chu Cailao in the past, it was because his strength was not as strong as Chu Cailao, and he had to use the method of surprise attack to solve Chu Cailao's ship group.

Dealing with the Dutch is because the Dutch warships have strong firepower, and if they fight hard, they will lose a lot of sea wolves, and he has to wait for him in the next bigger action, and he can't let the main ships damage too much.

But now that the Dutch fleet has been killed by him, he has nothing to scruple about, although the officers and soldiers seem to have a lot of numbers, but in his opinion, in fact, they are standard external strength and middle cadres, and they are useless.

If he still has to use the method of surprise attack to deal with such an opponent, then he really underestimates his own fleet.

For the growth of a navy, it is necessary for them to fight with the enemy in a dignified manner in order to show their spirit and erect their spirit, and it is impossible to condense into the spirit of a real navy by winning by surprise alone.

So this time he decided not to make any small moves, directly assembled all the main forces of the fleet, and slaughtered back towards Nanri Island, that is, to let the officers and men of the navy know about this battle, know their own strength, and also know this battle, and establish a determination to win against the officers and soldiers, which is very necessary for him to fight against the Ming Dynasty in the future.

The distance between the two sides became closer and closer with the passage of time, and even without the guò telescope, the officers and men of both sides could clearly see the situation of each other's fleets, and at this time the fleets of the officers and soldiers obviously began to have some confusion, and some of the ships on the periphery began to turn their rudders, trying to get out of here, and some began to retract their sails and reduce their speed.

Yu Zhigao took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, after all, he was the commander of this attack on the sea wolf, no matter what, he had no reason, he would admit defeat now, although he had to admit that the strength of the sea wolf was indeed beyond his expectations, but if he ran away now, then he would not want to mix in Daming in the future.

Even if he has a relationship with Wei Zhongxian's party, once this kind of thing spreads, he will definitely be criticized by the people of the world.

So even if it is the Wei Party, I am afraid that in the end I have to draw a clear line with him, at that time I am afraid that no one will be able to protect him, and there is also a problem of his face, you must know that his father is the original anti-Japanese famous general Yu Dayou, as the son of a famous general, has not yet met with the enemy, so he will first come to a foot to smear the oil, if you do this, I am afraid that even the ancestors will be completely smeared.

So no matter what, he has to fight, and as for victory and defeat, that is no longer the most important thing.
