Chapter 81: Ambush

In the open sea of Fuso Nagasaki Port, the fourteen brigs of Gangzi's mixed fleet were moored on the sea, and a small sailing ship was on the east, west, south and north of the country to monitor the outer sea surface clockwise.

On the flagship Sea Whale, Gangzi arranged an ambush plan for the Fuso supply fleet.

"Now the wind is blowing in the northeast and southwest, and the Fusang supply fleet will be found in a while, the mixed fleet of the star fleet will act separately, and the mixed fleet will go north to occupy the advantage of the wind direction, Li Youtai, you will take the star fleet to the south. At the beginning of the battle, the star fleet will attack first under the pirate flag, and if the five brigs of the escort attack you, you will fight with them, and I will support you with a mixed fleet; If they cover the supply fleet to escape, you drive them north, and there is a mixed fleet to intercept them, and we have fourteen brigs, and it is an ambush, and we will win the battle, and we will use our artillery to tell the Fuso fleet, my brother Gangzi is back again. ”

All the captains roared in unison: "Big brother is brave! ”。

"Waha......"

The next thing was to wait patiently, and the Fuso supply fleet did not ask Gangzi to wait too long, and Cang Bo Takeshi soon sent the news that the five repaired brigs of the Fuso fleet escorted seven cargo ships from the port of Nagasaki.

Gangzi calculated the speed of the Fusang supply fleet, drew a straight line on the chart and looked at his time, and ordered his subordinates: "The Fuso supply fleet is expected to arrive at our ambush area in eight hours, and we will set up an ambush circle in six hours. ”

The warm-up for the ambush began, and after checking that their equipment was in the best condition, the ships raised their sails one by one. The sea breeze puffed up the sails and drove the battleship slowly. The acceleration of the sailboat is slow, and if you want to maintain a high speed in battle, you must accelerate in advance. The moving warships did not dare to leave this hidden circle. Join the end and end in a circle.

The sea surface is unobstructed, Cangbo Wu's people do not dare to follow the Fusang supply fleet, Gangzi can not monitor the movement of the supply fleet in real time, all he can rely on is all kinds of data and bet on the Fuso fleet to choose the nearest route.

Time passes little by little, and every second experienced by the invisible opponent called Gangzi is a kind of torment, the red dot on the chart representing the supply fleet is moving, but this is all calculated by the supply fleet thrust, wind direction level and water speed, is the supply fleet really in this position? No one is sure that there are too many factors on the surface of the sea that affect the movement of ships.

Hopefully, the Fuso supply fleet didn't encounter too many events that affected speed.

After reaching the time of ambush, Gangzi ordered the ambush of the Fuso supply fleet to begin. Fourteen brigs that had been raised to optimum speed were split in two. Four to the south, ten to the north, four small sailing ships spread out to the east to find the Fuso supply fleet, at this time will not be found by idle players do not care, Gangzi has reduced the chance of being found to the minimum, the rest depends on luck.

The four small galleons formed a large fan to search eastward, and the Star Fleet and the Mixed Fleet also arrived at the position one after another, and the ambush circle had been unfolded, just waiting for the prey to arrive.

An hour passed. According to the normal calculation, the small sailing ship heading east should have already encountered the Fusang supply fleet, and it can be seen through the video that there is nothing empty over the wide ocean, and Gangzi's heart can't help but chuckle.

The battle on Jeju Island is in full swing. The Owari fleet continued to attack the No. 1 position after dawn, and the forty brigs were reduced to thirty, and in order to maintain the frontal pressure, the Tosa fleet really could not draw warships to replenish the Owari fleet.

The Northern Fleet was just as exhausted. Except for the battleships that can no longer move, the battle in the angry sea can no longer take out the battleships to replenish the Jizhou fleet, even the damaged ships cannot be taken out. The interior of the Stellar Harbor became empty. Stranded on the shore are all kinds of dilapidated hulls, which will sink unstoppably as soon as they enter the water, and have no combat capability at all.

The intact Guards Fleet continued to ask for help, looking at the Jizhou Fleet swaying in the artillery fire and still gritting its teeth, Tang Yao couldn't even stop leaving tears; "I don't understand why the Guards Fleet is not called up to support, you said that the Guards Fleet is used at the most critical time, but it is rare that now is not the most critical time, if you don't send warships up, the No. 1 position will definitely be lost, and we have been injured and sunk so many warships just to keep the position?"

Looking at Tang Yao, who was raining with pear blossoms, the angry sea battle also hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the three-masted battleship "Sixth Heaven Demon King" parked outside the battlefield, he immediately strengthened his belief, and he waited for Tang Yao to calm down a little and explained: "Our entire Northern Fleet does not exist to protect the No. 1 position, but the No. 1 position exists to protect the entire Jeju Island defense line, the No. 1 position is lost, we still have the No. 2 position, and the No. 3 position, the No. 4 position and the central position, Their role is to consume the strength of the Fuso fleet to protect the entire defense line, the Guards Fleet is the trump card in my hands, and it should be used in the most critical place, just a peripheral position, it is not enough for me to use you. ”

It was good to persuade Tang Yao to leave, and the angry sea battle connected the communication of the shining red star: "I don't have any extra warships to send to you, and the battleships that can't be driven will be sunk on the shore as fixed batteries." ”

Twinkle Red Star replied, "Well, this battle is really good, I'm ready to be a spectator, don't disappoint me!" ”

The Jizhou fleet was already overwhelmed by the onslaught of the Owari fleet, and in order to make the broken battleships exert their residual heat, Shining Red Star took the remaining eight brigs of the Jizhou fleet to the shallow water on the shore and sank to the bottom of the sea, and used the battleships as fixed batteries to continue to exert their residual heat.

Seeing that the Jizhou fleet was sitting in shallow water, Gangzi knew that the battle in the angry sea was really embarrassed to give up the No. 1 position, and the Fusang supply fleet, which had not appeared for a long time, made him a little upset. But he didn't leak out the bad mood, and said calmly: "The rear of the Fuso fleet has always been very safe, and the Fuso injured ships that go to and from Nagasaki Port for maintenance are all on this route, this time the Fuso supply fleet has no reason to change course and go a long way, they must have been delayed by some situation, the small sailing ship continues to search eastward, I believe you can see them soon." ”

After receiving the order, the small sailing boat continued to travel eastward, and in the search of the sea surface again and again, one of the small sailing ships suddenly found a black spot on the eastern sea, and as it approached, there were more and more black spots, it was the Fuso supply fleet They finally came.

The Fusang supply fleet appeared, and Gangzi also let go of a big stone in his heart, and finally relieved the pressure on Jeju Island. Adjusting his thinking, one by one orders were issued from the Sea Whale.

"Don't change your course to the brothers who found the supply fleet, keep going, don't let them discover your anomaly, if they ask, you say that they went to sea to do a mission, and the other three small sailing ships that were not discovered by them immediately evacuated to the sides."

"Combat Auxiliary Department, do you have the current data of the Fusang supply fleet, give me the detailed time for them to enter the ambush point, and there is still an hour of monitoring blank period, if there is no accident, there will not be much difference."

"Li Youtai, take your battleship and get ready, and act according to the original plan."

"Attention to the captains of the mixed fleet, this is the first battle of our mixed fleet, you must fight me beautifully, if you call the Fusang supply fleet to run away, my brother can't afford to lose that person!"

"Yes! Eldest brother! ”

In the sea area north of the ambush point, the mixed fleet sailed in a circular shape to maintain its speed. On Gangzi's chart, the Fuso supply fleet was repositioned, and the red dots flashed and moved towards the ambush point not far away.

An ambush on the surface of the sea is no better than a raid on a port. As long as the enemy ships are blocked near the dock, it is difficult for them to escape, but on the sea, extending in all directions, if there is any omission in time and direction, the enemy will escape through the gap. The cargo ship carrying supplies in this battle was sluggish, and it was impossible for it to run out of Gangzi's palm, but Gangzi's real purpose was five brigs.

Gangzi knows that he already has a small reputation in the anti-hegemony alliance, but the notoriety will only make the weak afraid, and only a strong fleet will make the opponent fearful. If these five brigs can be eaten cleanly this time, the Fuso fleet will be able to realize how powerful this fleet that has withstood their butts is, and will relax its attack on Jeju Island to turn around and clear its own back road, so that the Jeju Island defense line can have time to rest.

The ambush plan was being carried out in an orderly manner, and Gangzi was combing through the possible loopholes in his mind over and over again.

An hour later, the Fuso supply fleet began to enter the ambush area, and the star fleet began to sail north at the agreed time, if there was no miscalculation, they would be able to see Fuso's supply fleet within half an hour, and of course the Fuso supply fleet would also find them.

The mixed fleet in ambush in the north also began to move, and the ten brigs were divided into five groups, three in the front and two in the rear to form two blocking lines to block the breakthrough of the Fuso battleships.

The Fusang supply fleet was unaware that it had gotten into the pockets of the hungry wolves, and the players on board were watching the battle on Jeju Island.

The battle for Position 1 on Jeju Island has entered its final stage. Although the Jizhou fleet sank, although there was no need to worry about the sinking of the battleship, the angle of artillery firing was greatly limited, and in the confrontation with the Fusang battleship, one artillery gun after another was dumbfounded, and the No. 1 temporary artillery position leaked under the fire of the Fuso fleet.

And at this time, the "Sixth Heaven Demon King", which had been staying outside the battlefield, suddenly moved, and drove into the battlefield like a giant with a huge body.

Using the three-masted battleship, Kondo Mijin was definitely not just for the No. 1 position, he wanted to take advantage of the Northern Fleet's most strained warships to take advantage of the situation to take the No. 2 position.

The Angry Sea Rivalry immediately informed Tang Yao: "The Guards Fleet will immediately attack the 'Sixth Heavenly Demon King', and the battleships in the third and fourth positions will press forward, and don't ask the Tosa fleet to provide support for the Owari fleet anymore." ”

On the open sea of Nagasaki, Gangzi, who saw the "Sixth Day Demon King" entering the battlefield, immediately shouted at the command channel: "All the battleships are back, all the warships are back, don't let the Fuso supply fleet find you, the mission is canceled, the ambush plan is canceled!"
