"Yes!"

Zhang Guodong agreed and went to give the order.

Soon all ships were ordered by flags.

This kind of flag language was also written by Zhou Xian in the navy training manual last time, because the ships at sea are relatively far away, so the transmission of information can only be through the flag.

The flag language that Zhou Xian taught to the navy was the highest level and could express a lot of information, unlike some flags that could only express one or two meanings.

The twenty warships that received the order immediately started the steam engine, and the twenty warships formed a horizontal formation and sailed in the direction of the Japanese ships.

Ichiro Sato was a Japanese servant arranged by the daimyo of the Hizen Domain, specializing in robbing merchant ships to and from Fuso, and because of the support of the Daimyo of the Hizen Domain, they had more than 3,000 Japanese servants.

They generally live on Maye Island, which is two days away from Fuso, and once they loot the material, Sato Ichiro will secretly transport it back to Fuso, and after handing it over to the Hizen Domain, they will get some material and gold and silver.

Ichiro Sato's group of pirates have been rampant here for three or four years, robbing countless merchant ships, and many women who have been plundered over the years have been captured on Maye Island.

Today, I heard a report from my subordinates that there was a group of merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty, so Sato Ichiro couldn't wait to take all the Japanese to intercept this group of merchant ships.

Looking at the merchant ships on the opposite side through the monoculars, Ichiro Sato looked happy, so many merchant ships, once they are all intercepted, they will not worry about eating and drinking for the next half a year.

Ichiro Sato hurriedly ordered all the ships to come up, and when they had just advanced to the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, they found twenty ships on the opposite side heading towards them.

This discovery made Ichiro Sato stunned, could it be that this is a group of ships with escort forces? It seems to be a big deal, and Ichiro Sato shows a cruel smile.

Soon Sato Ichiro found that the twenty ships coming to his side began to emit black smoke, looking at the black smoke on the opposite ship, Sato Ichiro was stunned again, why is this ship still smoking? Is it cooking?

"All ships ready to fight!" Ichiro Sato shook his head and didn't care so much, and ordered in Fuso.

Only ten of Sato's fifteen ships were equipped with cannons, and all of them were equipped with only ten cannons, and they used to plunder merchant ships, as long as they drove the ship near the merchant ship and jumped on top of it, they basically succeeded.

After all, ordinary merchant ships have little power to resist, and the most powerful merchant ships they have encountered only have a few cannons.

So this time, when he saw twenty big ships coming from the opposite side, Ichiro Sato was not nervous, but was ready for a broadside battle.

When the merchant ship on the opposite side approached, Ichiro Sato and the others opened fire first.

Three ships opened fire, and a total of thirty solid shells flew towards the warship of the Zhou family's army.

Most of them were in the water, and only one solid bullet smashed into the deck of the Shanxi, smashing a large hole in the deck.

When Zhou Xian was still hesitating whether the other side was a Japanese or not, he saw that the opposite side should be the first to fire, it seemed that it was indeed a Japanese criminal, since it was their first move, then he was not polite.

"Destroy them!"

After receiving Zhou Xian's order, the twenty warships did not hesitate to aim their guns at the Japanese ships.

The sound of "knock knock" sounded, and five warships opened fire, and a total of more than 60 shells flew towards the Japanese invaders.

Suddenly, countless splashes exploded on the surface of the Japanese ships, and only ten shells hit three ships, and suddenly the three ships exploded violently.

Because the warships of the Zhou family army used cannons or grenades, the power of the explosion was very large.

Two ships were blown out of a large hole, and the water rushed upwards, and it didn't take long for the boats to begin to sink slowly.

Frightened, the pirates on the boat jumped off the boat and swam to the boat next to them.

Seeing the power of Zhou Jiajun's cannon, Ichiro Sato was also shocked.

Sato Ichiro hurriedly ordered all the ships to separate and approach the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, their cannons were powerful, as long as they got close to engage in broadside battles, they still had a chance of winning.

Seeing the Japanese robbers on the opposite side scattering in all directions, Zhang Guodong praised, "These Japanese robbers still have something, knowing that our artillery fire is strong, they scattered in all directions, ready to play broadside battles with us." ”

"These pirates have been plundering at sea for many years, so they naturally have some skills, does Commander Zhang have the confidence to destroy them?" Zhou Xian asked.

"If you can't deal with these pirates, then I don't have to be the commander of the navy."

Zhang Guodong is in high spirits.

The two sides fired another round of fire, and the solid bullets of the Japanese were like tickling for the warships of the Zhou family's army, and they had no destructive effect at all.

However, as long as the cannon of the Zhou family's warship hit the ship of the Japanese Kou, it would make them incapacitated.

After three rounds of artillery battles, only eight Japanese ships remained, but they still rushed towards the warships of the Zhou army, and it seems that they still wanted to turn defeat into victory through broadside battles.

Finally, a Japanese ship approached Zhou Jiajun's Dengzhou, and the Japanese roared and jumped to the Dengzhou, holding large knives and preparing to cut down the people on board.

But what awaited them was the relentless strafing of semi-automatic rifles, and the fifty pirates who jumped up were killed before they could react.

The Japanese who saw this scene in the back fled back in fright.

Navy soldiers stepped forward and fired, and dozens more were killed.

Seeing this scene, the Japanese on the ship suddenly flew out of the sky, and hurriedly changed direction and fled back.

When Ichiro Sato saw this scene through the binoculars, he was also pale with fright, and hurriedly ordered a retreat.

Receiving the order to retreat, the pirates fled back quickly.

After the shelling just now, only seven ships are now left to escape.

Seeing that the would-be robbers had fled, Zhang Guodong ordered.

"Pursue and destroy the pirates!"

All the ships began to speed up and chase after the fleeing pirates.

Since the south wind was blowing now, the boat was still running fast.

But such a speed is simply a drop in the bucket in front of a steamer.

Soon these seven ships were overtaken by the warships of the Zhou family, and after another round of shelling, two more ships were completely incapacitated.

The remaining five ships had no choice but to raise the white flag and surrender.

Then the soldiers of the Zhou army jumped on their boats and arrested them, and they were all brought to the warships of the Zhou army with their hands tied behind their backs, and these Japanese soldiers kept speaking Fusang dialect, which the soldiers could not understand.

When Zhou Xian walked in front of them and heard them talking Fusang dialect, suddenly the mysterious ball of light in Zhou Xian's mind flashed, Zhou Xian's heart was in a trance, and he found that he had actually learned Fusang dialect.

Zhou Xian was only at the beginning of Chinese in his previous life, and the only Fusang dialect that he could understand was probably Yo Xi and Ya Yan Butterfly.

I didn't expect to learn Fusang dialect all of a sudden, and this mysterious ball of light is really a good helper for learning foreign languages.

It's just that I don't know if I can learn the language of aliens in the future, which makes Zhou Xian have a little expectation in his heart.

Zhou Xian came back to his senses, only to hear the two widows begging for mercy all the time, saying things like spare me.

"Who is your chief? Where are you now? ”

Zhou Xian asked in Fusang dialect to the two would-be robbers.

The two widows and Xiang Shaoyun and Zhang Guodong, who were following Zhou Xian, were all stunned, they didn't expect Zhou Xian to speak Fusang dialect, they all looked at Zhou Xian with a smile.
