The entire surface of the sea, as time passed, was covered with a black liquid, and the raging fire was quite spectacular.

And on the surface of the sea covered with black liquid, the flames burned mixed with bursts of painful wails, all of which were pirates who had dived to the bottom of the sea in advance to take the opportunity to sneak up on the ship-digging pirates.

Their calculations were good, but unfortunately as the fire burned, everyone had to die at the bottom of the sea.

This approach seems cruel, but for these pirates who are not even as good as beasts, everything is deserved, and as the warship sailed away, Xie Cang, who was standing on the bow of the ship, watched all this with an indifferent face.

This black liquid is nothing else, but oil, and the reason why the warships on which the land army is ridden are not equipped with all kinds of counter-attacking artillery and trains is to make room for these oils.

This kind of surprise attack by pirates and pirates, Xie Cang had thought of it a long time ago, and he had already prepared oil on the ship, which was prepared for the raid team.

The existence of these oils was also prepared for themselves, and before the war, he discussed with Wu Dingguo, but when he encountered the resistance of the Fusang sailors, once he fell into a stalemate, he could not break through.

These warships, which carried a large amount of oil, would launch a suicide attack, ignite the oil on the ship, and then forcibly ram to clear the way for the brothers of the Dongzhou sailors.

They have only one purpose, to break through the resistance of the Fuso Navy Division at all costs, whether it is the Navy Division or the land army, as long as one of them breaks through and can land on the island to fight, this is a big step towards success.

Fortunately, this suicidal strategy did not appear, and the Dongzhou sailors opened a gap for them in a desperate situation and let them break in.

Thinking about it, the casualties that broke through, and looking back at the pirates who were burned alive by the fire in front of him, Xie Cang didn't have any pity in his heart.

He waved his hand, and the next moment, the warship under him pressed towards Zhoushan Island at the fastest speed.

The failure of the raid team was soon reported back to Zhoushan Island, and the pirates on the island suffered some setbacks because of this, but Yamashita bravely came forward and said a few simple words, especially with the brothers on the island.

All of a sudden, they found their backbone, and their previous setbacks were swept away, and according to the plan, they were ready to face a vicious battle that belonged to them.

Zhoushan Island is not like Black Wind Island, it is just a single island, to be precise, it is an archipelago composed of many islands of different sizes.

In addition to the main island in the middle, there are at least twenty or thirty small islands around the periphery, and on these islands, in addition to arranging various traps and possessing some firearms, there are quite a few people.

Basically, there are hundreds to thousands of people, if it is just a small island, thousands of people is really not much, but once all the surrounding islands are connected.

The islands cooperate with each other to support each other, and the topography of these small islands is surrounded by a large number of reefs, and if you accidentally collide with them, you will sink ships, which is a natural defensive front.

Zhoushan Island was also occupied for many years, and before that, it was one of the main nests of the pirate group in the two states of East Vietnam.

With the extermination of the Yuezhou pirates, the Japanese group that attacked Dongzhou also retreated to Zhoushan Island and began to serve as the group's nest.

With more than a year of blessing and maintenance, Zhoushan Island is not said to be impregnable, but it is a complete pipe dream to take it easily.

With the defense of Zhoushan Island, this is also the reason why the mountain bravely resisted Xie Cang's 30,000 attacks with 20,000 people, and did not panic at all.

With the passage of time, in less than a stick of incense after the defeat of the raid team, on the outermost island, the leader of the Japanese bandits, who was physically and mentally tense, looked into the distance, and could vaguely see one warship after another, coming towards them with a fierce momentum.

The leader of the pirates stood on the tidal flats with a solemn face, and behind him, seven or eight catapults and countless archers were already ready to attack, waiting for the leader to give the order to attack.

Despite the small number of people on this small outlying island, about five or six hundred, it is equipped with more than a dozen catapults and various types of firearms.

This kind of configuration, placed on the shore, is not weak in the slightest for a regiment of Dongzhou soldiers, if these guys are used to exterminate the bandits in the state, it will almost be pressed and beaten.

This is just a small outer island, and around him, there are at least four or five of them in a configuration like him, and there are three or four more powerful ones than him.

It can also be seen from this that in order to fight this battle, Yamashita Yuki took out all his family resources.

As the ship approached, about a nautical mile away, the raised arm of the leader of the Japanese Bandits, whose eyes flashed, suddenly fell.

"Warriors, the time has come to serve the Emperor, give me a hard beating!"

At the sound of an order, in mid-air, a huge sound of breaking wind sounded, and then more than a dozen huge stone balls could be seen, thrown into the air, and then smashed towards the warship.

After all, the accuracy of the catapult could not accurately hit the floating targets at sea, and most of them missed, stirred up huge waves, and fell into the sea.

Although most of the targets missed, the power of the catapult was a shock, a stone ball thrown at the warship, and perhaps no one cared. Look at the book

But if there are dozens of stone balls all over the sky, and then fall far away, that feeling is really terrifying.

As the order was given, more than one island took the lead in attacking, and the two or three islands around it also joined the battle.

Stone balls fell one after another, but after all, a small part was still hit, the cabin was damaged, a large amount of seawater invaded wildly, and some warships were even more unlucky, directly hitting the command cabin, and some soldiers were killed on the spot.

Many of the soldiers were drowned by the water gushing in the pipe, and then disappeared.

Xie Cang, who was sitting on the first boat, listened to his subordinates' reports on the damage to the warship and casualties, and his face was indifferent.

There are no immortals in battle, and from the moment they go out to sea, they are ready to die, even if the ship he is on is violently undulating by the waves, he still looks ahead with a blank face.

With a wave of his hand, he gave various orders very calmly.

The attack of the pirates does not mean that Xie Cang has no ability to fight back.

Twenty-seven warships that rushed out of the Fuso Naval Division quickly dispersed according to the order.

As the distance closed, countless arrows on the warship rained down like arrows, heading towards the pirates on the tidal flats.

In the rain of arrows, there is no shortage of heavy crossbows, although there are no artillery and rockets with great destructive power, but there are a lot of arrows and heavy crossbows.

The rain of arrows rushed in, and although the pirates on the tidal flats defended at the first time, there were still some casualties.

In this way, the two sides shelled and fired back and forth, and with the generals led by Xie Cang as an example, the soldiers on the warship screamed and screamed, fearlessly manipulating the warship to attack.

No matter how well the pirates and pirates on the outlying islands are deployed, they can only use four or five thousand troops in terms of the strength of the periphery to block them, and they are under the onslaught of tens of thousands of soldiers of the three armies of Dongzhou, Dongshan, and Split Mountain, who are not afraid of death and are not afraid of death.

Except for the two ships that ran aground and were silent, and the one that was sunk by the stone ball, the remaining twenty-four ships, about 25,000 soldiers and horses, finally forcibly landed on the island.

And the land army that went to the tidal flats and felt the reality of the land under their feet, this is their home field, and they can give full play to their advantages.

With Xie Cang's people landing on the island, on the outlying islands, the two sides saw each other, no one was afraid of anyone, and as soon as they fought, the two sides instantly fought fiercely.

The sound of all kinds of rushing and killing shook the sky, resounding on the surrounding islands.

At this time, Yamashita Yong, who was sitting on the main island, listened to his subordinates' report on the recent situation of the Dongzhou soldiers landing on the island.

Within a quarter of an hour of contact between the two sides, the casualties on their side were about to exceed 1,000, and this casualty speed was not much to give up even if they looked at the siege.

The reason why there are such large casualties is because the Dongzhou soldiers hold a breath in their hearts and hate them very much, under the command of Su Qi'an, these Dongzhou soldiers are basically reborn.

No longer like before, there will be fear, some are just desperate to kill...

Although Yamashita Yong hated this Dongzhou supervisor to the core, but one yard to another, this person is manipulating people's hearts and commanding tactics, and there is indeed something.

"Report to the big boss, two-thirds of the outer positions on Zhoushan Island have been lost, and judging from the current situation, the outer positions will be in less than half an hour at most

Break through."

Listening to the successive reports, Yamashita Yong not only did not look nervous, but on the contrary, there was a little inexplicable excitement in the depths of his eyes.

He nodded and said softly. "Well, I see, according to the plan, alternate retreats, and make sure that all the brothers retreat to the central region before the outer positions are captured."

Hearing the order, his subordinates quickly left, and conveyed Yamashita Yu's instructions as soon as possible.

Not long after his subordinates left, the elusive Fujiwara Shinichi appeared again, this time he did not mock like last time, but said lightly.

"This Zhoushan Island is well managed by you, I hope your plan can come true, just don't disappoint Your Highness, I'm ready to go, according to estimates, the overseer should soon arrive in the ambush area."

"This time, let me see if this Dongshan Marquis is as evil as you said."

Fujiwara Shinichi dropped the sentence and then turned to leave.

Yamashita Yong's face was a little smiling, he didn't say anything, and nodded slightly, although there was competition and contradiction between him and Fujiwara Shinichi, but in big things, the two sides were still able to cooperate.

It's just that the premise of this kind of cooperation is to be able to see the feasibility of the other party's plan, and with Xie Cang leading the army to the island, Fujiwara Shinichi didn't want to admit it, and he had to admit that Yamashita Yong's plan was half done.

The next half, it's up to him, he can't drop the chain at the critical moment, otherwise he will inevitably go down the mountain in the future.

Since this Yamashita Yong passed on Su Qi'an so evilly, he just wanted to try it.

Watching Fujiwara Shinichi leave, Yamashita Yong's eyes retracted, he was not at all worried that Fujiwara Shinichi would make a mistake, this opponent who competed with him was a rare talent in naval battles.

As long as he follows his plan, even if he suffers a little loss in the hands of Su Qi'an, the victory in this battle is destined to be his.

He looked ahead and muttered softly, "This landing speed is really a bit slow, Lingdong Hou, you have to work harder."
