Chapter 279: Fire!

The wind blew and the ship left the port.

Three days later, in the early morning, the east wind finally came.

More than 700 warships hung their sails, stepped on the waves, and marched towards Shedao in the morning light.

Song Che wore a velvet robe, standing on the head of a giant ship, holding a telescope in his hand, and looking at the sea from time to time.

The first line of defense in front of the Japanese pirates was on Shanmen Island, which was the place where he jumped into the sea a few days ago, and there were seven or eight islands and reefs on Shanmen Island, and there were six or seven thousand Japanese pirates stationed there.

Naval warfare is different from land warfare, not a large number of people can win, throughout the official history, throughout the ages, there are many cases of winning more with less, and it is impossible to be careless.

Song Che scattered the 20 guns into four large ships, each escorted by 30 sterns and 10 fighting ships, and as long as the enemy exposed the firing range, he turned the hull sideways and opened fire.

With the power of the cannonball, as long as it hits the hull of the ship, it can make it lose the ability to retreat, and in the endless sea, falling into the sea is a dead end.

"I'm not afraid of you laughing when I say it, this is the first time I've sailed on a boat."

Liao Heng set up a small table on the side, pressed the rice paper with a ruler, and sketched the majestic appearance of the fleet one by one. He's the most laid-back man in the fleet.

"It's a war, not a boat ride." Song Che said lightly.

Liao Heng said: "Who told you that I was here to play? I am the civil official of Yangzhou Mansion, and your heroic deeds on the battlefield will be handwritten into a book by me, and then sent to the Luoyang Emperor. ”

"Master Liao's book is really amazing!"

In fact, he's really good.

He was a civil servant, and when he sat on the bow of the ship, all the civil officials and military generals had to stand back.

"You transferred the commanders of the sailors and horse infantry armies of Huainan and Liangzhejiang to the flanks, but let Brother Jiang lead the main fleet, isn't it just to win the first credit for him?"

"I don't think as much as you do, and I transfer the other commanders to the flanks, just because they have more combat experience."

"Harm, the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise!"

"You're a ...... guy"

"Black Flag Ship!"

The sharp-eyed man suddenly exclaimed.

Song Che raised his binoculars and looked at the black flagship, more than 300 warships of the Japanese Kou, which loomed in the distance, and was menacing.

"Give the order to go down and stop advancing."

The ships waved their flags, and the fleet did not move forward.

The Japanese also stopped advancing.

The two armies began to confront each other at sea.

Song Che sat on the bow of the boat and greeted lightly: "Tell the big guy to take out the dry food to eat, and fill his stomach first."

"Brother Bai, what are you doing here? The enemy had only about 300 ships, less than half of our troops, and when they charged, they were full of energy. ”

Jiang Yuntian and the generals were ready to move.

Song Che waved his hand and said with a smile: "Generals, don't worry, it's not yet time to attack, let's talk about it for a while." ”

The two armies confronted each other, the weak side would never dare to act rashly, and must be ready for battle, now it is blowing the east wind again, the Liang fleet is downwind, the Japanese fleet is against the wind, and the Japanese want to maintain the fleet without retreating, then they have to pay more strength.

In the face of the Liang Naval Division, which is twice as strong as itself, the nerves of the Japanese are bound to be tense, and after a long time, people will be easily fatigued, and their will to fight will also be weakened.

Therefore, Song Che asked the soldiers in his headquarters to relax, eat and drink enough, relax their minds, and when the time comes, they will attack again while the enemy is tired, and kill him by surprise.

An hour later.

A leaf boat sailed from the left flank to the giant ship, and the scouts on the boat shouted at the top of their voices: "General, military division, the left flank fleet is about to capture Zhuangjiasha!"

At another time, another boat sailed from the right flank to the giant ship, and the scout shouted loudly: "General, military division, the right flank fleet has successfully entered the White Deer Islands!" ”

"Good!"

Song Che praised and got up to greet:

"Gunboat ready!"

Four gunboats "turned out of nowhere", turned their hulls sideways, adjusted their muzzles, and aimed them at the Japanese fleet.

"Prepare the ships and ships!"

A large ship with thirty ships is a combat unit, spread out in two ways, and reserve ballistics for artillery.

"Reload!"

Twenty iron-chested cannons, filled with gunpowder, loaded with shells, ready to fire.

"The ships obeyed the order and killed the Japanese invaders, and at this moment - the cannon will charge!"

"Beat the drums!"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The drums shook the sky and shook the sea.

"Ignition and fire!"

The gunners lit the barrel with torches and the rear fuse.

"Boom!"

Twenty artillery pieces were fired almost at the same time, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air instantly.

The cannonballs roared in the air, crashing into the Japanese fleet one after another, and in an instant sawdust flew everywhere and the flag turned against each other.

"Rush!"

Jiang Yuntian drew his sword and shouted, and the ship and the fighting ship were divided into the left and right sides, and at the same time charged at the Japanese Kou.

"Artillery continues to cover!"

"Boom! Bang! Rumble......"

The sound of artillery drowned out the drums and waves, and the enemy was attacked from a distance, sinking at least three or five enemy ships in each round of fire.

The unprecedented dimensionality reduction strike has destroyed not only the ships, but also the psychological defense line of the Japanese pirates.

After seven or eight rounds of artillery strikes, the Japanese fleet was in disarray, its morale was gone, and it scrambled to retreat and flee.

The assault fleet pursued the victory, and when the distance was near, the shelling stopped, and switched to muskets and throwing guns for medium-range strikes.

The gunpowder exploded in the Japanese fleet, igniting a raging fire, and the chaotic enemy ships collided and the fire spread from one ship to another.

The would-be robbers screamed and jumped into the sea to save their lives.

The soldiers on the stern used their extended spears, regardless of whether the enemy surrendered or not, to directly stab him in the heart!

The fighting ships collided with the enemy's big ship, set up a ladder, threw out the hook lock, and the soldiers boarded the ship with swords in hand-to-hand combat!

An hour later.

The blood-stained sea water was full of ship wreckage and the corpses of the Japanese invaders, and nearly eighty percent of the more than 300 enemy ships were destroyed, and the remnants of the Japanese invaders fled in the direction of Shedao.

The Great Liang Fleet, taking advantage of the victory to pursue.

The desire for victory, the hatred of the Japanese invaders, the soldiers took off their armor, rowed together to open the boat, one group was tired and replaced with another, so that the Japanese had nowhere to escape!

Two hours later, when Shedao met for the first time, the remnants of the Japanese were chased halfway through the chase and all the cups were cleared.

The gas fire in Shedao port made it impossible for the giant ship to approach, so Song Che took the ship and landed on the island with the soldiers.

Wang Zhi must have escaped, otherwise he would never have burned the port.

After landing on Shedao, a search was quickly launched, but the result was sad and shocking-

All the women who were arrested on the island and absenteeism from work, more than 600 lives, are forever buried here.

Song Che stood in front of Old Tang's corpse, unable to even be angry and sad.

Butterflies use the number of wings to calculate the time of their life, and people use responsibility to measure the meaning of their lives, some people's lives are as short as butterflies, but they are as bright and dazzling as meteors, although they are fleeting, but they are eternal.

Song Che took a deep breath on his back, and squeezed out a word between his teeth:

"Chase!"
