Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Shorty's Helper

On a November day, the northwest wind prevailed, and hundreds of warships puffed up their sails on the sea, and the bow split the sea and drew white waves.

From time to time, a large flock of seagulls flew by the sky close to the sea boat, curiously looking at the people on the boat as if they were exploring something, the big ship was chopping the 'waves' in front, and nearly a hundred ordinary sea boats were following closely behind.

"Xiao Langjun, not far in front of you is the island where the Japanese Navy is stationed!" Du Sheng pointed to the island where a black line could be faintly seen in the distance and said to Wang Ze.

In fact, the fleet was still thirty or forty miles away from the island, just because there was no shelter on the sea to see it relatively far.

The size of this island is not small, at least about the same as that of Jeju Island, but there are more mountains on the island than Jeju Island, and it is estimated that there are not many ordinary people.

When Wang Ze was observing the island in the distance, he saw a large group of warships coming up on the sea in the distance, and the black pressure covered a large area of the sea.

Wang Ze really saw the sea ships of the Japanese Kingdom for the first time, and when the Japanese people came to pick up the bargain for the first time last year, they were led by Qu Liulang and beaten up, and they were all sent to see his aunt.

There are quite a few ships in front of them, there are 200 ships, but at most the ships equivalent to 1,000 stones, most of them are about 500 stones, and it is estimated that there are more than 10,000 sailors on board.

In addition to these Japanese naval forces, there is also a group of large ships in the south of the number of miles away from the Japanese people, compared to the chaotic and disorganized Japanese naval army, this naval army can be said to be in a strict formation, at a glance, you can know that the commander of this naval army is not simple.

However, this is all in the past tense, in the past, Gu Bin and Du Sheng combined were more than a dozen new sea ships and more than 30 South Korean sea ships, and they could only be beaten against these two groups of naval forces, and it would be good to be able to stop them from attacking Jeju Island.

This time, Wang Ze brought thirty new warships, plus nearly twenty new ships and other warships under Du Sheng and Gu Bin, which were already not as big as the Japanese naval army, not to mention that Wang Ze also brought so many naval weapons.

"Xiao Langjun, I'm afraid the situation has changed!" Qu Liulang pointed to Wang Ze in the distance and said.

Since Wang Ze's previous treasure telescope had been left by him to his father Wang Yong, Wang Ze could only see a dark shadow in the distance at a glance.

Qu Liulang, who has always had outstanding eyesight here, said: "There is a large group of sea ships heading here, I'm afraid it is the reinforcements of the little dwarfs of the Wa Kingdom, Xiao Langjun should order it as soon as possible, there will be a change later!" ”

Letting experts do professional things is what Wang Ze is good at, and immediately handed over the command of the battlefield to Qu Liulang, and hundreds of warships rushed towards the Japanese navy and the Southern Korean navy.

If you want to say anything, you still have to be a professional to do it, under the command of Qu Liulang, the Japanese Navy was beaten and 'urinated', even if it was equipped with a batch of crossbow arrows, but Qu Liulang used a 'bed' crossbow outside the 'shooting' range to bite it to death.

Now the 'bed' crossbow on the ship is no longer the inferior 'bed' crossbow that was urgently made, since Wang Ze has obtained thousands of craftsmen from the Southern Dynasty, there are also craftsmen who can make 'bed' crossbows, and then they have made every effort to replace all the warships in the cottage with new 'bed' crossbows, and the old 'bed' crossbows that have been replaced have been moved to the merchant ships.

More than a dozen slightly larger warships quickly approached Qu Liulang's flagship, and the Japanese navy on the ship rowed hard to the death, trying to engage the flagship.

The Japanese soldiers on the ship 'shot' crossbow arrows and rockets at Qu Liulang's flagship, Qu Liulang was busy directing other ships to 'intersperse' and divide the formation of the Japanese naval army, but a accidentally 'shot' an arrow in the arm, fortunately wearing a leather armor was not injured.

Qu Liulang was immediately furious when he was 'shot' by an arrow, and immediately used the gunpowder bombs on the ship to sink and injure five or six ships, and the other ships of the Japanese Navy immediately fled when they saw that the situation was not good.

Here, the Japanese Navy and Qu Liulang were fighting in full swing, and over there, Wang Ze led more than ten large ships to block the ships of the Southern Korean Navy.

The five 5,000-stone level sea ships were about the same size as the Qinglong ship on the opposite side, but because Wang Ze had the upper hand, he took advantage of it.

The 'shooting' attack with the wind alone was half the distance of the rocket on the ship than the opposite wind, and the South Korean naval army on the opposite side was retreating one after another.

Relying on the speed of his new sea vessels, which were obviously nearly twice as fast as the other side's, Qu Liulang commanded the various departments to go back and forth like the wind, sometimes gathering together to encircle and annihilate several large ships of the Japanese navy, and sometimes encircling and destroying small ships according to the units of each department.

After the number of Wang Ze's naval army increased, the threat of the Southern Dynasty naval army to Wang Ze's side was greatly reduced, and after seeing that the Japanese naval army was sunk one after another, he also wanted to stop Wang Ze's naval army as he had done several times before.

At this moment, I saw several large ships passing near the formation of the Southern Korean naval army, and it was several warships led by Gu Bin, the commander of the naval academy, and after a rain of arrows, the people who were 'shot' on the opposite ship turned on their backs, and then the ship caught fire.

The commander of the enemy's navy, who seemed to be very experienced, immediately ordered the soldiers on the ship to extinguish the fire with the river sand that had been prepared long ago, and poured it with seawater.

The naval forces of the Southern Dynasties had just extinguished the fire, and dozens of gunpowder bombs were fired into the ship by the "bed" and "crossbow" on this side, and this time it was no better than the last time, and suddenly five or six ships were blown up and sawdust flew sideways, and the ship was in a panic.

It seems that they can't resist the retreat of the South Korean navy, and two warships may have been blown up in the explosion just now and failed to escape.

The other Southern Korean naval warships originally wanted to pick up the people on board, but because Gu Bin was in a hurry, they had to leave quickly.

The naval army of the Southern Dynasties retreated backwards, and the Japanese naval army could not resist and fled backwards one after another, because he was afraid of the Japanese reinforcements who were about to rush over, Qu Liulang did not order the pursuit, but only grabbed the enemy wounded ship that was captured and parked on the sea.

In addition, there are some soldiers who have fallen into the water to catch them quickly, after all, it is November weather, although the sea area of Jeju Island is warmer than that of Jangguang County, but the sea water is still too cold.

In the battle just now, the Japanese navy lost at least more than 50 sea ships, and the Southern Korean navy was damaged, and two sea ships were still parked on the sea, and Gu Bin had already led people up.

Just when Wang Ze and Yang Ku were calculating their own losses and results, Gu Bin had already boarded Wang Ze's big ship through a small boat.

"Xiao Langjun, I have captured the general on that ship, and he said that he wants to see you!" Gu Bin not only came by himself, but also brought a few captives dressed as generals of the Southern Dynasties.

Wang Ze looked at the generals who were tied up by several soldiers behind Gu Bin, and it seemed that the first one was in his thirties, and the other three were all in their twenties.

Dressing up is exactly the standard dress of the generals of the Southern Dynasty, especially the killing atmosphere that ordinary people can't imitate.

Seeing this, Wang Ze frowned, could it really be the navy army under Chen Baxian? It doesn't look like a powerful subordinate in the Southern Dynasty.

Hearing Gu Bin's title, Yang Ku frowned and said: "Now that Lang Jun is Xiahou, Commander Gu still needs to call Xiahou more!" ”

Wang Ze waved his hand to stop Yang Ku and said: "It's okay, it's all a family, it's still the original Xiaolangjun, I'm used to listening to this!" ”

As he spoke, he turned to the officers of the Southern Dynasty and asked, "We are all descendants of Chinese Miao, why did you help the Japanese people to come to fight me?" "Since you can't guess it, just ask.

Several Southern Dynasty generals looked at each other, and the thirty-year-old general replied, "Are you waiting for the Baekje people's navy?" ”

Gu Bin glared: "The one who told you that we are from Baekje?" Don't you see the flag on our ship, and we are speaking Chinese? ”

The general said: "Baekje has been in contact with our Southern Dynasty envoys since a hundred years ago, and the nobles are proud to learn Chinese, and the official and private people also use Chinese characters, so it is not surprising that some people in the Baekje army speak Chinese well!" ”

"Then you still help the Japanese people to fight us!" Gu Bin's eyes widened and asked, looking like you will never be spared if you don't give an explanation.

The general smiled and replied, "At first, I thought you were Baekje people, and I didn't fight you to the death because I was worried about the old friendship between my Daliang and Baekje, but just protected the Japanese people!" ”

"Oh? Are you Xiao Liang Sailors? Wang Ze's eyes lit up when he heard the general's words.

"Yes, we were originally the sailors of the Liang Army Huiji County, and after Chen Ba first established Chen, we didn't want to belong to him, so we sailed overseas!" The middle-aged general replied.

Wang Ze paced and lowered his head in thought, the middle-aged general was still relaxed, but the young men were a little trembling.

"Smack!" With a loud bang, Wang Ze slammed a tea bowl on the board of the boat, and said to the man fiercely: "If you don't tell the truth, could it be that you are deceiving me at a young age?" If you don't recruit from the truth anymore, don't blame me for being unkind! ”

As he spoke, ignoring the pleading of the man and several young men, Wang Ze ordered the middle-aged man and several other young men to be taken out for interrogation separately.

"Lang Jun, what that man said is reasonable, how does Lang Jun know that he deceived you?" Yang Ku was curious about Wang Ze's conclusion that the other party had deceived him.

Wang Ze then explained to Yang Ku carefully: "Although Mr. is quite knowledgeable in the north, he doesn't know much about the navy of the Southern Dynasty, and the Qinglong Ship is not a random navy even in the Southern Dynasty, only the Chinese Navy Naval Division directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court can have this Qinglong Ship!" ”

Yang Ku nodded and said: "I see, it seems that it is better for me to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles!" ”

Wang Ze smiled at Yang Ku and said: "Not only that, but it took two or three years before Chen Baxian replaced Emperor Liang, if these people are dissatisfied with Chen Baxian, why don't they go to Houliang in Jiangling!" In addition, there are three young men, well-equipped, but cowardly, not like a battle-hardened general, but also a general, which really makes me have to doubt! ”

"It's true, now that I think about it, those men are like the children of the Southern Dynasty, once they reach the crown, they can become big officials, even if they don't know a word, they are in a high position!" The sheep withered and speculated.

Seeing that Yang Ku had wiped off a few of his beards, Wang Ze felt a little funny, and said to Yang Ku: "Sir, don't be distressed, those people will definitely confess in a while!" But one thing is for sure, they must be the remnants of Xiao Liang's navy! ”

Just when Wang Ze and Yang Ku were speculating about the origin of this group of Xiao Liang sailors, Gu Bin rushed to the cabin where Wang Ze was.

He said with a mysterious face: "Xiao Langjun and Mr. Yang have all confessed, you will never guess who those sailors are!" ”
