Chapter 131: The Battle of Chenjia Island

On Chenjia Island, 400,000 Fubo troops and 2,400 large and small warships are anchored in Tangdao Bay, waiting for the wind to go.

Yu Yunwen, the overseer of the Navy, sat on the edge of the deck, carving a wooden statue with a knife.

The big pirate Zheng Zhilong came over and said to Yu Yunwen, who was more like a Wenchen, "I didn't expect you to do this." ”

Yu Yunwen's expression was calm: "The rain has decreased slightly, and a sentinel ship should be sent out to sea for twenty or thirty miles to prevent it from being taken advantage of by the enemy." ”

"Now that the north wind is in full swing, even if the Jiangdong Sailor goes north, he is going against the wind, so there is no need to worry."

Zheng Zhilong disagreed.

The two main concerns of the sailor generals are the direction of the wind and the current.

The tailwind side is often on the offensive.

The wood quickly turned into a wood carving of a lucky boat in Yu Yunwen's hands, and Yu Yunwen got up: "The wind direction here is changeable, so it's better to be careful." ”

"I'm going to send people on patrol."

Because Yu Yunwen is the supervising army, and the various generals who monitor the Fubo Army can report to Chutian, Zheng Zhilong also has to obey orders.

Thirty sentinel ships left Chenjiadao and patrolled the perimeter.

Zheng He counts the damage caused by the hurricane.

"About 147 ships were sunk by the wind and waves, and 2,000 soldiers and sailors died or went missing."

Soon Zheng He learned of the ships and soldiers lost due to the storm.

Hurricanes at sea are far more destructive than that.

If it weren't for Zheng He's SSS-class trait "Seven Voyages to the West", the damage suffered by the fleet would have dropped when it was stormed, otherwise the losses might have been even greater.

"There is a saying in the Xia Wangfu that as long as the Jiangdong Naval Division is defeated, then each of our six main generals can get 10,000 taels of silver."

Chen Lan, a new general who joined the Fubo Army, was calculating how many rewards he could get.

Chu Tian treated the high-level generals well, and promised the six generals of the Fubo Army that as long as they defeated the Jiangdong Naval Division, then the six Naval Division generals could get sixty thousand taels of silver.

Yi Sun-sin, the general of the Goryeo Navy, fell silent.

The Kingdom of Goryeo fell, and Yi Sun-sin became a subject of the Goryeo Metropolitan Protectorate.

Thirty sentinel ships patrolling the perimeter, the main one will be Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng was cautious, so he personally led the sentinel ship to patrol.

Sergeant Fubo clears decks and ropes.

"It is said that the coach of the Jiangdong Navy Division is Wu Wang himself, and he has the confidence to serve as the coach, so it means that his ability is still above Zhou Yu?"

Xu Sheng had already obtained information about the Jiangdong Naval Division, and the person who served as the chief general of the Jiangdong Naval Division was not Zhou Yu or Lu Meng, but Wu Wang Tongque.

Because Tongque is a player, he knows the data of each general, so he is not too tall to be happy, and he has to go into battle if he doesn't have the ability.

He personally served as the chief general of the Jiangdong Water Division, basically there is only one possibility? That is, the Bronze Sparrow has a higher stat bonus to the fleet.

"General? You see! ”

On the sentry boat, a sailor soldier suddenly screamed in panic.

Xu Sheng squinted at the horizon? A hard sail dozens of meters high appeared in Xu Sheng's line of sight.

"It's ...... Koto Water Division! ”

"Report back to the fleet immediately!"

Xu Sheng recognized the fleet of the Jiangdong Navy Division at a glance.

The sea near Chenjia Island? In addition to the Fubo Army, the large warships that appeared? Only ships that could be the Koto Naval Division!

Xu Sheng's ship raised wolf smoke and informed the surrounding sentinel ships to retreat north!

The large and small ships of the Fubo Legion rested on Chenjia Island? Zheng He had already seen the sentinel ship coming back with wolf smoke.

"Anchor and sail? Go to sea and fight! ”

Zheng He, as the commander of the Fubo Army, this time the opponent is the player lord who has a lot of naval combat characteristics.

The Jiangdong Naval Division is going against the wind and approaching Chenjia Island, if the Fubo Army does not set sail as soon as possible? Then the more than 2,000 warships anchored on Chenjia Island may be wiped out!

400,000 Fubo soldiers are nervous? The generals urged the sailors to put away the anchors and set sail.

"Quick, quick!"

Zheng Zhilong kicked a stunned sailor.

A dozen sailors worked together to turn the winch and pull the heavy iron anchor up to the deck.

"Zheng Zhilong, you lead a small fleet? Go and stop the enemy! ”

Yu Yunwen ordered Zheng Zhilong to lead a small fleet of ships and ships as a vanguard? Prevent the Jiangdong Navy Division from launching a fire attack.

Two thousand moored warships crowded around Chenjia Island, if they were attacked by the Jiangdong Naval Division? The consequences are unimaginable.

"Brothers, follow me!"

Zheng Zhilong from the splint between the warships? Jumping onto a shipboard? With about two hundred small ships, he went to meet the enemy.

The sailor general Chen Lan summoned the Lingnan sailor soldiers he recruited? There are only 7,000 people, but they are the source of soldiers in the south, and they are currently the best at naval warfare in the Fubo army.

For the reward promised by Chutian, Chen Lan gathered 7,000 Lingnan sailors before the war with the Jiangdong Sailors: "This battle, no matter what, must be won, but whoever retreats will be killed!" If I win this time, I will ask for a reward from the Xia Wangfu, and everyone will have a reward! ”

The seven thousand Lingnan sailors shouted in unison: "Willing to fight to the death!" ”

Chen Lan looked at the most elite team of soldiers and horses under his command with satisfaction.

Suddenly, Chen Lan suddenly looked at the flag on the mast dozens of meters high, and found that the flag was actually waving north.

"Wait, the wind seems to have changed......"

Chen Luan's face gradually turned pale.

During naval battles, the most fearful thing is that the wind direction will change.

The direction of the wind determines the offensive and defensive positions of both sides.

At this time, Chenjiadao's Fubo Army was located in the north, and the Jiangdong Naval Division was located in the south.

When the wind blows north, the Fubo army is in the upwind direction.

When the wind is southerly, the Koto Naval Division is located in the upwind direction.

The wind direction changes simply, and the offense and defense are easy to attack!

"Leave Chenjiadao as soon as possible!"

Zheng He, Yu Yunwen, Yi Sunsin, and Chen Ling did their best to urge all the sailors to leave the increasingly dangerous waters of Chenjia Island.

The sailor generals were very sensitive to changes in the direction of the wind and the flow of water, and when they realized that the wind direction had changed, they immediately knew that Chenjiadao had become a dangerous place.

Chenjia Island is located in a sheltered bay, which can avoid hurricanes at sea and reduce the loss of the fleet, however, the sheltered bay means that this kind of terrain, once the mouth is sealed, then the ships in the sheltered bay are in danger.

In water warfare, the defending side is often at a disadvantage.

This is also why Zheng He, Chen Lan and others are eager to get rid of such an unfavorable situation after the appearance of the Jiangdong Water Division.

Yi Sunsin boarded the turtle ship as the second group to attack the Jiangdong Naval Division.

The Goryeo National Turtle is about 30 meters long and resembles a huge turtle.

Chutian smashed into real money, so the Goryeo turtle ship was dome with iron pieces and cowhide, and it had a strong defensive power.

The dragon head of the turtle ship faces southwest, and the wooden planks on both sides of the hull have dozens of openings, and it is equipped with cold weapons such as bed crossbows and bowl guns, as well as primitive firearms.

The Goryeo sailors in the cabin were extremely nervous.

This time, the Jiangdong Navy Division is approaching, and the decisive battle between the two huge sailors is about to break out, and the dead in this battle may be four or five out of ten.

In addition, if the turtle ship sinks, all of these Goryeo sailors may be buried in the sea.

"The wind is unfavorable, but we still have to fight to the death and die with this ship. In any case, at the very least, the Jiangdong Navy Division should be severely damaged so that it cannot attack on a large scale. ”

Yi Sunsin drew his sword and swore to fight to the death.

Yi Sunsin is a die-hard type of military general, and it is really possible that he will choose to die in battle instead of just talking about it.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Sunsin's lord was killed by Mingguan, Chu Tian might not have been able to surrender Li Sunsin.

The Fubo army rushed to meet the battle, and Zheng Zhilong's 200 small and medium-sized ships could already see the huge fleet of the Jiangdong Naval Division!

Wearing iron armor and a sword at his waist, Tongque commanded 3,000 warships to march north, and the storm did not stop, and he had ordered the Jiangdong Navy Division to go against the wind in advance.

Although the Jiangdong Naval Division was damaged by a hurricane on the way and was not a ship when it got lost, Tongque was still maverick and arrived at Chenjiadao earlier than planned to launch an attack on the Fubo army stationed here!

This is the largest fleet in the history of the Han Empire, and the number of warships invested by both sides has reached more than 5,000!

A naval war of this magnitude may not be possible even for the Western maritime civilizations, unless these maritime civilizations join forces.

"Prepare fire arrows, and gunpowder arrows...... The fireboat is ready! ”

Tongque saw that Zheng Zhilong commanded a group of Fubo Army ships from the direction of Chenjia Island, so he ordered Lu Meng to command a group of ships to meet the battle.

And Zhou Yu was preparing the fireboat, preparing for a battle to determine the hegemony of the Jiangdong Naval Division.

The sky was still hazy, Lu Meng dressed in white, led 500 warships to break away from the main force of the Jiangdong Naval Division, braved the wind and waves, and broke out a contact battle with Zheng Zhilong!

"Shoot the arrows!"

Thousands of rockets shot at Zheng Zhilong's ship, like a fire meteor!

The foremost ship was hit by hundreds of rockets, and the fire spread rapidly, engulfing the entire warship.

The sailors on the deck were shot by fire arrows, and their corpses were strewn all over the field.

The surviving sailors were unable to extinguish the fire and had to jump into the water to escape!

"Shoot back!"

Zheng Zhilong was also ruthless, holding a sword and a shield, and commanded 200 warships to return fire at LΓΌ Meng's fleet.

In Zheng Zhilong's fleet, there was also a fire arrow shooting towards Lu Meng's fleet!
