Chapter 581: First Encounter

After five or six days at sea, Li Hao finally got used to the feeling of living in the ups and downs of the waves.

On this day, the wind and waves were calm, and only a few waterfowl swept by the horizon on the endless sea.

On the expedition to Dongying, Li Hao did not choose to attack Huanglong, but marched north along the coastline and took the lead in clearing the Dongying Japanese who were causing chaos in the Datang Sea.

For several days, they did not encounter a single battle. This inevitably discouraged the sergeants.

On weekdays, they often hear the news of the harassment of the seashore by the Dongying Bandits, who thought that they would meet these thieves as soon as they went to sea, but they didn't want to be so long that they couldn't even see a single hair of the enemy.

"Lord Wang!" At this time, Ying Huiyi suddenly found Li Hao and handed him a nautical chart.

As a result, Li Hao saw that they had come to the north of the Yellow Sea at this moment, and they could immediately go east, go to Silla, and cross the sea to Dongying.

"The speed of the voyage is really not slow, it is so fast to cross the Yellow Sea!"

Li Hao nodded and put the chart aside.

"Lord Wang, the soldiers have not seen the enemy for a long time, and they have begun to relax!" Shadow Radiance said in a deep voice.

It is not a good sign to slack off before seeing the enemy. Li Hao has been fighting in the south and north for many years, and he has never encountered this situation, it can only be said that the combat effectiveness of this naval division is still good, but the military discipline is worse after all, compared to the Linghui army, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.

But this can't be blamed on them, the Tang Navy Division has few battles, unlike the countless expeditions of the Linghui Army, sailing on the boundless sea, people are easy to be bored.

"It's okay, let them rest a little more while they can rest, I have a hunch that the real battle is about to start!"

"Subordinates understood!" Ying Huiyi didn't say much, and immediately withdrew with the chart.

But at this moment, a ship's alarm bell rang out.

"Enemy found, enemy found!"

Li Hao perked up and immediately stood up from his chair.

"No, the battle has begun!"

Li Hao laughed and walked out of the cabin with Ying Huiyi.

At this moment, the soldiers on the ship had already assembled and looked into the distance in unison.

There were more than 100 dragon scale fleets, and there were more than 130 people on each ship, and 10,000 troops gathered together.

Dozens of nautical miles away from the fleet, several ships flying pirate flags were chasing a merchant ship. The pirate ship was significantly faster than the merchant ship, and it seemed that the merchant ship was about to be overtaken.

"Lord Wang!"

All the soldiers looked at Li Hao in unison.

Li Hao sneered: "Kill the chicken with a knife, go out of the three-way boat with me, defeat the enemy, and the rest stop!" ”

As he spoke, he leaped from the main ship and onto a nearby ship.

In the next moment, the three warships spread their sails, like arrows from the string, stood out from the fleet and headed in the direction of the merchant ships.

On the other side, on the pirate ship.

Several people dressed as Dongying warriors were also startled when they saw the fleet of more than 100 warships, and subconsciously wanted to turn the bow of the ship and escape.

But suddenly this huge fleet suddenly stopped, and immediately after, three warships broke through the waves and rushed towards them.

"Are these Chinese people crazy? They only sent three warships to see them outnumbered, is this looking down on us? ”

"General, look at their flag, it's the Suzhou Dragon Scale Fleet!"

A minion standing on the mast reminded loudly.

Hearing the words of the dragon scale fleet, everyone on the pirate ship was frightened and exclaimed.

In the past few months, the fleet sent to Suzhou by Dongying had suffered a lot on this kind of warship, and few of them could go back. The Dragonscale Fleet is above the seas, and it has become a nightmare for almost all pirates.

But today, the leader of the Dongying pirates was not afraid at all, and shouted to stabilize his subordinates: "What are you afraid of! No matter how strong they are, they only have three warships, and we have ten soldiers, are we still afraid of them? The Chinese are just a group of landlubbers, how can they be able to defeat our fleet of sailors in Dadongying, let me meet and kill these three boats! ”

"Yes!"

The courage of the Dongying soldiers was stimulated, they were born in the island country, they had extremely rich experience in naval warfare, and now the number of ships is several times superior to the enemy, how can they be afraid of them?

The next moment, all the pirate ships turned their bows, abandoned their merchant ships, and rushed straight towards Li Hao.

Although their warship was not as good as possible, with the advantage of the wind, the speed was even faster than that of the Longling battleship.

Looking at their performance, Li Hao couldn't help but nod silently, he really deserved to be a Dongying person who was familiar with water warfare, and he was able to take the wind direction as an advantage in an instant and firmly grasp it. It's no wonder that over the years, the Datang Sailor has not been their opponent.

"Lord Wang, the wind direction is not in our favor!"

Ying Huiyi stood beside Li Hao and said.

"It's okay!" Li Hao didn't care, and continued to order the fleet to speed forward.

Soon, the two fleets came together.

The ship of the Dongying people immediately began to turn and penetrate, one left and one right in an encirclement posture, and the Longling warship was in the middle, and the Dongying people on the ship picked up their bows and arrows and shot at the dragon scale warship.

But the hull of the Longling warship was covered with scaly armor pieces, and the ordinary bow and arrow were set on it, and there was no reaction at all.

"Take advantage of the wind to cut in the countryside and cut through their formation!" The commander roared, and the ten warships immediately changed formation, cruising around the Longling battleship, quickly separating the three dragon scale fleets, preparing to break them one by one.

But who would have expected that Li Hao was waiting for this and opportunity.

"Aim at the ship on the left and attack!"

At the sound of an order, the battleship that Li Hao was riding on immediately accelerated and crashed towards the battleship that was blocking in front of them.

On the surface of the sea, it is very dangerous for two ships to collide, because it is very likely to cause water leakage in the cabins of the warships on both sides, and if one is not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. Under normal circumstances, Dongying people, who are proficient in water warfare, would never do this, but Li Hao dared to do what others would not dare, so he crashed straight into it.

Hearing only a boom and a loud bang, the metal bow in front of Longling Station was like a sharp sword, creating a large hole in the enemy warship blocking the front.

The sea rushed into the cabin.

"Retreat!" Li Hao roared, and the soldiers on the boat all slid their oars to wake up and retreat.

The enemy ship that was smashed through the hull of the ship began to sink instantly, and all the Dongying people on the ship let out screams and began to jump into the sea to survive.

On deck, sailor archers draw their bows and arrows to shoot at the enemies who have fallen into the sea.

The flexibility of the water conservancy people has been seriously affected, and the enemy who fell into the sea has become the target of the Linghui army.

In a short time, countless corpses appeared on the surface of the sea, all of them were hit by arrows, and blood stained the sea red.

When the commander of the Dongying Waikou saw this scene, his teeth itched with anger, and no one could have imagined that the Longling battleship was so fierce that it could destroy the enemy ship directly by ramming.

"Defend the past, sandwich them in the middle and be careful not to let them find the turn almost"

The remaining two Dongying warships immediately accelerated, and soon surrounded Li Hao's warship in the middle.

Being caught in the trap is an extremely unfavorable situation in a naval battle, and if you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, you will definitely lose.

But Harry disagrees.

As long as the sailors are top-notch enough, they won't be afraid of their surprise moves.

Looking at the two enemy warships beside him, Li Hao smiled coldly.

"Do you think you'll win if you trap me? Oh my! ”
