Chapter 183: Clearing the Four Seas, Gathering the Eight Desolations!

When night fell, the moon tonight was particularly shy, hiding behind heavy clouds, unwilling to appear, for fear of being seen with a bright face.

Above the sea, the sound of the waves rises and falls, and the rhythmic sound is like a lullaby, making people want to sleep.

In the East China Sea, a very small island chain is dotted with small islands.

These islands are not visited at all, because they are too small to carry too many people.

Humans are social animals, so it is impossible to live alone on such a small island.

But the inaccessible island welcomed dozens of warships this night.

When the ships arrived, they lowered their anchors at a sheltered outlet on the island, apparently intending to rest for the night.

In the second half of the night, nearly a hundred ships appeared again on the back of the nameless island.

The boats were in tatters, and some even looked like fishing boats, rocking at sea as if they would sink in the next second.

It was Inoue Ichiro and Hiroki Kato.

Through their familiarity with the nearby seas, they emboldened themselves to march at night.

Led by the guide ship ahead, hundreds of ships tossed and turned, and finally arrived at this nameless island in the second half of the night.

Among them, nearly 10 warships ran aground on the reef on the way, and the Japanese on board had to abandon their ships and move to other ships, continuing to the nameless island.

In the darkness of the night, it was impossible to see the terrain in front of me.

Relying on their familiarity with this place, the Japanese invaders tossed and turned, bypassing one or two places that were easy to run aground, and finally arrived at the hiding place of the Ming army.

Kato Hiroki saw not far away, above the Ming warship, the lights were bright, and the open flames were fighting.

Under the light of the fire, the huge outline of the Daming treasure ship was clearly displayed in the eyes of Kato Hiroki.

This made Kato Hiroki only feel his blood boiling, such a huge battleship, coupled with ferocious firepower, if he got them, then wouldn't the sea be left to his own criss-crossing?

All over the world, sweeping the eight wildernesses, who else is your opponent in this world?

Thinking of this, a stream of hot blood rushed from Kato Hiroki's crotch to the heavenly spirit cover.

Immediately, Kato Hiroki no longer hesitated, and directly issued an order for the whole army to assault.

Nearly 100 ships of the Japanese invaders, like arrows from the string, shot straight at the Ming fleet.

Although these warships are said to be warships, they are just some looted merchant ships and even fishing boats.

In front of the Daming treasure ship, it looks very short, and it is simply not worth mentioning.

But the more this is the case, the more these would-be robbers are for the Great Ming Treasure Ship.

However, even at the fourth watch, the vigilance of the Ming fleet was still not relaxed.

These ships were still a hundred paces away from the Ming warship, and were finally discovered by the soldiers in charge of guarding the Ming Dynasty.

"Who are you??"

With a loud shout, a Ming Navy stood up and asked for the identity of the person who came.

However, the navy reacted immediately and blew the alarm whistle around his neck

"Beep beep!!"

"Beep beep!!"

The sharp and piercing sound resounded in this sea area in an instant, and the Ming army, which was still sleeping, all opened their eyes with conditional launches.

This is a special project for all navies, late-night assault training.

The soldiers were very unaccustomed to it at first, and even almost made a bombing of the camp.

However, under Li Jin's strong requirements, this training has become one of the items that must be practiced in peacetime, and from time to time Li Jin will give these people a surprise training.

After countless baptisms, these soldiers have been trained to wake up reflexively when they hear the whistle, whether it is day or night, and then quickly dress up and prepare for battle.

After a watchful person sounds the alarm, the watchdog around them blows the alarm at the same time.

"Beep beep!"

"Beep beep!"

The sound of police whistles came and went, as if the whole sea was boiling.

When Kato Hiroki saw this scene, he only felt that his scalp was numb, but he didn't expect the vigilance of this group of Ming soldiers to be so high.

Before he and the others started to jump into the gang, they were already discovered.

His ears were filled with a penetrating whistle at the moment, and it was obvious that the Ming army was likely to come to his senses at this time.

The originally planned sneak attack was about to turn into a hand-to-hand battle of real swords and guns.

All of a sudden, Kato Hiroki and other Japanese ships suddenly stagnated when they were charging forward.

Kato Hiroki knew that it was a life-and-death situation at this time, and if he couldn't make up his mind quickly, he would probably be defeated if he hesitated and wandered back and forth.

After many years of career as a Japanese robber, Hiroki Kato, who can sit in the position of leader, is naturally a decisive person.

Soon made up his mind to continue to advance, even if it was a short encounter, he was not afraid of these Ming troops.

"Beat the drums, keep attacking!!"

Since it was discovered, Kato Hiroki immediately stopped hiding, and directly ordered the drum to be beaten to show his determination.

"Knock knock!"

After the sound of an exciting drum, the Japanese did not hesitate any longer, and continued to rush towards the Ming fleet with a shout.

"Kill, kill, !!"

A hundred paces is too short on the sea.

In less than half a cup of tea, nearly 100 ships of the Japanese invaders, like locusts, frantically poured towards the large and small ships of the Ming army.

On the side of the Ming army, Xu Da was on duty in the second half of the night.

At the first moment he heard the whistle, Xu Da reacted quickly, asking his subordinates to immediately wake up all the Ming soldiers on the ship.

At the same time, all the torches of the flagship admiral are lit so that the navy can see the vicinity of the ship and deal with the enemy who is attacking.

The surrounding ships are doing the same.

After all, the whistle is already engraved in the bones of every Ming navy, as long as the whistle sounds, it means that war is coming.

One by one, the Ming ships began to light a huge number of torches and inserted them around the battleship, trying to see the enemy's figure clearly.

In some ships, as soon as the torches were lit, they saw that the hooks and locks were already wrapped around the masts and gangs of the battleship.

Using these ropes, the pirates have already begun to climb.

"Enemy attack!! Enemy Attack!! ”

The navy, which discovered the enemy's traces, quickly summoned its comrades to come to support.

The battleship quickly became chaotic, and some of the Ming soldiers had just stepped onto the deck, and quickly rushed towards this side with their weapons.

And there are many more Ming troops, who have just woken up and dressed up, but have not yet stepped onto the deck.

Fortunately, the Ming warships were too tall, and if the small ships of the Ming Dynasty wanted to sneak attack the Ming warships, they had to climb the means and board the deck in order to control the Ming warships.

In the past, when robbing merchant ships, they often jumped from the mast to the merchant ship by jumping close to the merchant ship and then jumping into the ship, so as to directly engage the merchant ship in close combat.

However, against the Ming warships, these Japanese robbers were like stealing the city, and they had to climb over the high side of the ship in order to meet the Ming army.

The entire nameless island began to resound with earth-shattering shouts of killing, and the Japanese robbers had the advantage of numbers, while the navy of the Ming Dynasty had the advantage of geography.

Taking advantage of the height of his own ships, he is condescending and constantly blocking the attacks of the Japanese invaders.

However, because the Japanese attacked suddenly, there were still many Ming troops who had not yet entered the battle.

Nearly 100 warships attacked the Ming fleet, and almost every warship had to face the siege of two or three Japanese ships, and the situation was precarious.

Even the flagship under Xu Da was besieged by eight warships.

These warships attacked in different directions, intending to disturb the sight of the Ming army and make the Ming army lose sight.

Under the guidance of Inoue Ichiro, Kato Hiroki took great care of Xu Da's battleship.

As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, as long as the Ming army on the flagship is captured, then more than half of this battle will be won.

Kato Hiroki personally led the battleship and participated in the siege of the Ming flagship, wanting to capture the Ming flagship in one fell swoop and shake the determination of the Ming army to resist.
