Chapter 972: Predictable Victory

In Penglai Port, there is a mess, near the wharf, there are no less than dozens of naval warships spinning horizontally and vertically on the sea, most of these warships have been damaged rudder, without rudder, the ship can not turn the direction at all.

And the Giant Whale Ghost went on a rampage, completely disrupting the dock area, the intact warships could not drive out at all, and the damaged warships could not move, just like twisted flowers, completely entangled together.

However, the entanglement of the Japanese army made the warships of the Great Chu Navy smoothly pass through the waterway and enter the wide harbor, with the east and west waterways as the central axis, a wind blows from east to west, this wind is the strongest in the waterway, and into the wide waters of the harbor, it gradually disperses, turning into a light breeze that blows by, and cannot blow the sails.

"Turn the rudder, plug it in for me directly!" With the help of this piercing wind, the warship entered the harbor at the maximum speed, but the fully raised sails also began to hang down, and the wind began to disperse.

"Yes, turn the rudder!" The helmsman is a strong man, the rudder on this ship is not light, especially the large-angle rudder, it is a hard work, the helmsman's arms are full of green tendons, and the warship under his feet also plucked the bow, crossed a large angle bend on the sea, with the help of the last wind, in the direction of the north-west ten degrees, towards the dock area.

The ship crossed a graceful arc on the surface of the sea, and the sails on board were retracted to reduce the resistance of the air, and with the help of the inertia of the ship itself, it approached the oncoming pier.

Half a nautical mile distance, the speed of the ship gradually decreased, but still maintained a low speed towards the closer and closer dock port rushed over, usually when entering the dock area, most of them will be helped by the receiving ship to ensure order, and when docking, there will be no collision incident, but obviously at this time, there will be no receiving boat, so if you want to get up, you can only use the most brutal method.

"Give me the things around me, the boat will be docked soon, prepare the cable on the boat for me, and a few people will come and prepare to jump with me!"

Peng, the warship crashed into it in a very ungentle way, and the violent impact suddenly made the warship shake violently, and the strong impact force suddenly made the soldiers crammed in the cabin crash into a ball.

"Damn, someone's knife stabbed me in the ass!" a cry that sounded like killing a pig came from the dreary cabin.

"Haha, the brothers have landed on the deck, Zhu Laoliu, you are here to cover your buttocks! Waiting for the good news of the brothers!" As the impact of the ship passed, the ship suddenly stabilized, and the commander of the team in the cabin suddenly shouted, indescribably cheerful.

These people are not the group of Qiu Ba of the navy, they have been drifting on the sea for half a month, but they have suffered a lot, although they are used to vomiting, but stepping on this boat is not steady, and they finally docked, so they naturally can't wait to be down-to-earth.

There are more than 300 soldiers stuffed into a large sea ship, after all, the ship is outside, and you have to bring enough fresh water and food, even if the space in the sea ship is large enough, it is crowded enough, when these soldiers rush to the deck, the burning Japanese army camp in the distance is the best target, but on the dock, the number of Japanese soldiers is also quite large, and if you want to rush up, you have to fight.

"At this time, you will kill the widows!" Yang Qiu took the lead, jumping down from the deck of the ship more than two feet high, holding his war knife in both hands, and slashing at a Japanese soldier on the dock.

Peng, the Japanese knife in the hand of the Japanese was suddenly knocked away, the knife was torn directly from the shoulder, and the Japanese were directly split in half, and the blood splashed Yang Qiu's body at once, and the blow was successful, Yang Qiu was just about to stand up, ready to kill the two Japanese who were stunned, but there was a shaking under his feet, and his legs were weak.

Of course, this is not because of the blood and the frightened legs are weak, but because they are floating on the sea, so as soon as the servant lands, his legs are a little uncomfortable with the ground.

"Damn!" In a moment's effort, the two Japanese soldiers obviously came back to their senses, and viciously brandished the Japanese knives in their hands and slashed at Yang Qiu.

Yang Qiu scolded, seeing the two bright and slashing knives towards him, he hurriedly raised the knife to block, dang, dang, two crisp sounds sounded, the sturdy man who was originally two heads taller than the two widows in front of him was actually chopped to the ground by the force of the chopping, how embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Haha, I said Lao Yang, you have also become a soft-footed shrimp, this is not good!" From the oblique side, the other team was laughing, and quickly stepped forward, a flash of water on the sword, and the water and moon slashed, and two water sickles like crescent plates flew out from the sword, and they were extremely tricky and submerged into the throats of the two Japanese soldiers who raised their swords again.

Yang Qiu was also angry, girly, this time she lost her face: "Lao Hou, I'm you, Lao Tzu can't do it, look at who killed more today!" Yang Qiu supported the ground, and suddenly jumped up, although there was still a little discomfort under his feet, but it was already much better, his feet were a little floating and he walked forward quickly, and the war knife in his hand slashed towards the Japanese people in front of him.

The cold light was like practice, the blood was as gorgeous as a rose, and on the dock, it was suddenly strangled into a ball.

One by one, the Great Chu warships docked on the dock, and some of them leaned against other ships, after all, there were not many empty docks, and there were many Japanese ships blocking the waterway not far away, which was also a big trouble, but this could not organize a team of soldiers to rush to the dock.

Qi Jiguang also stepped on the ground from the warship, at this time the battle on the trestle bridge of the nearby pier has ended, the battlefield has gone deep into the dock, in the blazing fire, there are people fighting everywhere, it can be described as chaos, at this time, there is no need for generals to command, it is all up to the teams below to organize themselves.

Qi Jiguang glanced at the battle situation on the dock, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he ran towards the place where the battle was most fierce with a quick meteor.

A cold light flashed like a star in the sky, passed through Yang Qiu's ear, and directly pointed at a Japanese soldier who raised a Japanese knife from the side and slashed at his throat, Yang Qiu cooked the Japanese soldier in front of him, and then peeked at the person who saved him once, and suddenly called out in a low voice: "General Qi?"

Yang Qiu is a soldier belonging to the Qinglong Legion, while Qi Jiguang was in the Xuanwu Legion before, so there is no affiliation between the two, but for this, Yang Qiu has seen twice, but he didn't expect to be lucky enough to fight side by side with him, Yang Qiu suddenly burst of blood and blood rolled.

His eyes swept to this general, although in the major legions, this reputation was not obvious, but at this time, the golden spear in his hand was like a starry star, all of them pierced the neck and throat of the Japanese soldiers, killing with one blow, to put it mildly, just in an instant, at least seven or eight Japanese people fell.

Sure enough, there is no bad hand who can be a general, but this understatement of killing a few Japanese soldiers is not much better than himself, he exhaled a long breath, Yang Qiu raised his mind, he can't learn this kind of skill, he knows his own strengths, that is, he is taller than ordinary people, and has a lot of strength, if you learn this skill, it will only get worse and worse.

Yang Qiu put aside these thoughts, strode forward, raised the knife in his hand, and slashed at a Japanese man a few meters away, the momentum of the knife broke through the air, and landed directly on the body of the opposite Japanese person, tearing open the opponent's armor and splashing a blood mist.

Barbarism, violence, is his way!

Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and a number of strong men have stepped on the Penglai Port wharf, and immediately let the battle on the wharf fall to the side of Dachu, three hundred warships, enough to load the soldiers and horses of a division, as well as a large amount of food and water, this is a full 25,000 people, and the soldiers and horses of a brigade were put ashore before, but at this moment, there are still four brigades and regiments joining the war group one after another.

After the Penglai Islands were occupied by the Japanese people, it became the most important springboard for the Japanese army, as well as plundering the rear of the coast, this time the main force of the Japanese army landed in Yangzhou, and still left a part of the force in the Penglai Islands, a full 200 naval warships, and no less than 15,000 defenders.

Of course, on the Penglai Islands, there are far more than these troops, this westward expedition, Sakura Mingzhi, who has just ascended the throne of the emperor, out of various considerations, but hyped this westward expedition, so after the formation of the Western Expeditionary Army, there are a large number of wandering warriors who have lost their names on the island, and the ronin joined them, and these people formed a wandering army, and came to the Penglai Islands from the island one after another.

These wandering samurai, the ronin did not have a fixed organization, completely relied on strength to win over manpower, and with the connivance of Inoue Shunji, they were allowed to plunder the coastal areas of Yangzhou and Qingzhou, so that the defenders in the coastal areas could not act rashly, it can be said that these wandering legions were like lice, so that the defenders in the coastal areas could not be defended.

And these wandering samurai, the ronin does not have the sufficient supplies of the regular army, so after looting, they will return to the Penglai Islands and use the looted things in exchange for food and other things, so on the Penglai Islands, there are no less than 10,000 wandering samurai and ronin.

Penglai Islands itself is an easy to defend and difficult to attack sea fortress, stationed so many soldiers and horses, it is not easy to capture, but because Zheng Chenggong's giant whale ghost penetrated into that narrow waterway, and put a brigade of soldiers and horses ashore in advance, otherwise rely on a strong attack, not to mention three hundred sea warships, even if it is two or three times more, it will not want to attack Penglai Bay.

However, once it was invaded into the harbor, the geographical advantage of the Japanese army was suddenly weakened to negligible, and the number of troops and horses raised by the two sides was also about the same, and there was another important factor, that is, Ozawa Kawataro had ordered his men to open ships with the intention of blocking the waterway into Penglai Bay.

As a result, as soon as these ships left the dock, they were successfully sniped by Zheng Chenggong, and they all stopped on the sea more than 100 meters away from the dock.

More than 100 meters, it seems not to be far, but at this time it is January, although the Penglai Islands are biased to the south, but the water temperature in the bay is also very cold, ordinary soldiers jump down, almost to seek death, and these naval war ships are trapped with three or four thousand Japanese soldiers.

Although this part of the people only accounted for less than one-third of the Japanese army, it was these three or four thousand people who could not land on the shore, so that the numerical advantage of the Japanese people was erased, and those wandering samurai and ronin were completely a mess of porridge, where could they play too much role.

Despite the fierce fighting, if nothing happens, the future of Penglai Island is almost predictable.
