The whole Hangzhou Bay was plunged into a sea of fire, the sky-high fire even lit up the night sky, the billowing black smoke obscured the moon, it was the third day of the Japanese landing, and the entire coast of Hangzhou Bay was attacked by the Japanese sea ships everywhere. **//

In the area of Hangzhou Bay, although the shipbuilding industry is scarce, coupled with the rise of Haizhou, it is no longer prosperous, but it is still one of the most densely populated areas in Hangzhou.

Xiaobei Town, Hangzhou Bay, is located more than 70 miles away from the land, surrounded by hills and mountains, and the bamboo sea is surging.

"Report, the Japanese people landed from Wangshuizhuang, the number of people is about 3,000, and they went northwest to Lianhua County!"

"Wang Shuizhuang, here, Lianhua County is one of the seven counties in Hangzhou Bay, located in the northwest of Hangzhou Bay, nearby is mountainous, there is an official road leading to Hangzhou City, and Hangzhou City has dispatched three brigades to the south this morning to come to support, the Japanese people are attacking Lianhua County with all their strength at this time, it is possible that they have obtained information!" Qi Jiguang pressed a small flag representing the Japanese people at the position of Wang Shuizhuang.

On the whole sand table, the situation of the enemy and us is very obvious, the Japanese have now captured most of Beitang County, and taken the county seat of Yishan, and the main force of the Japanese has been stationed in Beitang County, and use this as a base, crisscrossing Hangzhou Bay, and the Dongfang Yulong, who was defeated at the mouth of Hangzhou Bay, has led the remnants of the army to retreat into the Hangzhou River, and finally guarded the last bottom line by using the narrow river.

"Maybe it's a coincidence, the Japanese people seized Lianhua County, which is equivalent to sealing the northwest gateway of Hangzhou Bay, the main force of our army is currently in the north of Yishan County, this area of Shaobei County, with the nearby hills and mountains, has dragged down the pace of the Japanese people, if the Japanese people take Lianhua County, they can lock us up in this area! The Japanese people are planning to annihilate us all here!"

"It's a big appetite, although we only have less than 30,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, but it's not a soft persimmon, not to mention that the biggest weapon that the Japanese people rely on after leaving the coastline can't threaten us, and we can't kill them in a land war!"

"It seems that our strategy of luring the enemy has been carried out well, and the Japanese have completely regarded us as soft persimmons, but this is also in line with our hearts, the Japanese are now blooming all over Hangzhou Bay, and the enemy forces have begun to disperse when they land everywhere!"

"Next, we will enter the stalemate stage, in this stage, we must use the arrogance of the Japanese people as much as possible to annihilate the living force of the Japanese people and pave the way for the subsequent counterattack, and at the same time, our naval warships outside can also move appropriately to lure some Japanese warships to the open sea, and then annihilate!"

In the southeast of Hangzhou Bay, the main force of the Hangzhou Navy of the Chu Army, more than 300 warships are moored between the Pearl Islands, the Pearl Islands, about 300 nautical miles away from Hangzhou Bay, have more than 100 islands, but the largest one of the Pearl Islands is only more than ten square kilometers, there is no fresh water on the island, and on this archipelago, there are only some temporary wooden houses built by fishermen for temporary resting places when fishing in the open sea

"Everyone is here, the messenger sent by Commander Liu brought the latest situation in Hangzhou Bay, and at the same time issued instructions, so that we can wait for the opportunity to attack the Japanese sea ships!"

Yu Dayou said, picked up a map and said: "Don't talk nonsense, let's directly assign your tasks, the strength of the Japanese sea ships is very strong, the intelligence records a large number of Japanese sea ships battle information, and over there also let us capture the Japanese sea ships as much as possible, these things are likely to speed up our development of new sea ship samples!"

"This operation can not be carried out with great fanfare, it must be carried out quietly, first select more than a dozen warships as bait, in Nanwan on the south coast of Hangzhou Bay, there is a group of soldiers and horses divided by the Japanese people, there are about more than 200 naval war ships, the Japanese are attacking the county seat of Nanxian County, but most of the fleet is anchored in Nanwan!"

"The specific plan, all the warships are divided into three parts, I will take one, General Dongfang will lead one, and General Zheng will lead one, use bait, first fish for thirty or fifty boats from the other side, and then I will lead people to swallow them near Hangzhou Bay, and then I will be the bait to lure more Japanese boats to pursue, and then set up an ambush, near Xiaoyu Island, our three departments will work together to swallow all their incoming ships

Yu Dayou's plan, Dongfang Yan and Zheng Chenggong agreed, and then the three of them led a fleet from the Pearl Islands, Yu Dayou led a hundred warships, one step ahead, heading straight for Hangzhou Bay, Dongfang Yan's fleet traveled in the direction of land, and Zheng Chenggong led his troops to detour from the open sea, respectively heading towards their respective positions.

The south shore of Hangzhou Bay, in the bay, but there is also an inlet, this is the South Bay, the place where the South Bay is located is a seaside lake, there is a river through, connected with the bay, the whole inlet is long and narrow, here was once one of the three major shipyards in Hangzhou Bay Nanwan Shipyard is located, but the former Nanwan Shipyard can not even see the appearance of the past at this time, only in the inlet, the bluestone wharves vaguely remember the glory of the past here.

At this time, this inlet was crowded with Japanese boats, and the fishing villages on both sides of the river had long become a stronghold of the Japanese people, and the waves gently lapped the hull, and the big sea boats moored here were all listless

The entire vicinity of the river bay has long since fallen, and the only thing that is still resisting is the county town dozens of miles away, but under the attack of the Japanese warriors, the fall is only a matter of time, and the Japanese sailors stationed on the sea ships are washing the deck, either going to the land to drink, gambling money, or blowing the sea breeze on the ship, basking in the warm sun and falling asleep.

The entire Hangzhou Bay is already only their world, and the other party's weak fleet has long been cowered in the river at the end of the bay, as a shrunken turtle, so there is no need for security here.

"Commander, the mouth of the South Bay is ahead, but this is too smooth, we entered the bay so far that we didn't even encounter a Japanese ship?"

"Isn't this better, the more careless they are, the worse the defeat will be, the order, all ships are ready to prepare for battle, I have been to this place in Nanwan, the whole is a narrow inlet, and we will block the entrance to Nanwan, and fight hard directly at the Japanese warships inside!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Ten giant shark warships show their hideous fangs, fan-shaped around the mouth of the South Bay, the giant shark warship is a kind of medium-sized naval warship specially built for naval warfare, not only suitable for the sea, but also suitable for rivers and lakes, the volume is equivalent to the size of a medium-sized building warship, but there is no tall tower, and the flexibility of picking up is far more flexible than that of the Lou warship.

There were two trebuchets on the warship, one in the front and one in the front, and as the four giant shark warships adjusted their direction, the side sides faced the mouth of the inlet, ready for Yang Fan to run at any time, and the first wave of attacks was ready.

"Fire!" the trebuchet's huge flicking arm flicked in response, and the urn filled in the bucket spoon sprinkled like a ceiling of scattered flowers into the inlet.

Matsunoshima is a sailor, before this he was a fisherman, living on the sea, but the battle of the Western Expedition, the daimyo conscription, Matsunoshima became a member of the sailors, at this moment Matsunoshima is lying on the deck of the big ship at his feet and napping comfortably, a canvas above his head covers the sun, and the faint sea breeze blows his body, this feeling is indescribably pleasant.

The only pity is that there are no women here, it would be nice if his own Hanako was by his side, thinking of his neighbor's woman, Matsunoshima couldn't help but stand up, remembering that they had been happy on the ship once before, and that time was really unforgettable.

Matsunoshima didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was a seabird, but in the next few seconds, a crockpot landed on the deck not far from Matsunoshima.

The clay pot was already brittle, but this smash suddenly shattered, and the fire oil filled inside suddenly splashed out, and Matsunoshima was not spared, and just as he reacted and looked at the source of the crisp sound, a fire snake flew up.

Matsunoshima's body was quickly ignited, a sea of fire raged on the deck, the pain of the flames burning his skin made Matsunoshima's whole body convuls, he rolled all over the ground to extinguish the flames, but he couldn't extinguish it, but made the flames burn more and more.

Matsunoshima's skin was quickly burned and dried up, and his strength was rapidly lost, and finally he didn't even have the strength to move, and his eyes looked around, the flames that kept exploding, and Hanako's wonderful figure seemed to appear in front of him again, but all of this had nothing to do with him.

The sea boats in the South Bay were so dense that except for the middle channel, the wharf on the shore was full of sea boats, and these immobile targets were simply the best targets, a catapult could throw seven or eight crockpots at a time, and each ship had two catapults, and one hundred and fifty crockpots fell in one round.

The rate of fire of the catapult was not fast, it took about two minutes to shoot once, but from the time the Japanese were attacked, to react, and then to gather their men to rush to the sea, they had already made ten warships throw four rounds, and at least 600 crockpots fell.

More than a dozen ships leaning at the mouth of the river were almost bathed in raging flames, and the sails that were rolled up were also ignited by the flames, and billowing black smoke was ignited, and some of the Japanese sailors stationed on the ships were almost burned alive, and even if some jumped into the sea, they could not extinguish the flames of this demon.

"Your Excellency, the Japanese ship has been dispatched!" shouted the lookout who was looking over the mast.

"One last round of attacks, and then issue the order to retreat!"

There were hundreds of heavenly maidens scattered flowers, and even a layer of burning flames was ignited on the surface of the water, and the rolled sails were quickly landed by the sailors, and the wind gusts on the sails were launched, and the ten giant shark warships slowly moved towards the open sea.

In the Nanwan inlet, one after another Japanese warships also passed through the sea of fire on the water and rushed into the bay, looking at the warships that had escaped several nautical miles away, they began to pursue in anger.
