The hull of the ship slammed, and the teacups and plates in the cabin clanged.

Accepting the lesson, this time Shen Chaixing did not rush to help Zhu Yunzhen, and Linglong'er on the side reacted in time, hugging Zhu Yunzhen at the same time, she also protected the princess with her body.

At this time, a general of the Poyang Lake Captain Ming Sailor hurriedly ran in and made a report.

This person's name is Chen Ang, thirty or forty years old, with a big dark square face, which sets off the brightness of his eyes and the whiteness of his teeth. Seeing that he saluted the princess slightly, he immediately said: "Shicai encountered a group of Japanese ships to chase and intercept, and after accelerating, he threw off a batch, and now another group came from the front, just now he has fired a cannon on the nearest Japanese ship, hitting the enemy ship, but the danger has not disappeared, now please the princess and your lords decide." Zhu Yunzhen stood up and said, "Let's go, go to the deck and have a look." On the side, the palace maid hurriedly put a scarlet scarlet coat on Zhu Yunzhen, and everyone walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.

I saw that on the surface of the sea, there were more than 100 ships of all sizes and sizes near and far from the Poyang Lake, and after all, the number of people on each ship varied according to the size of the ship, ranging from a dozen people to fifty or sixty people, and the ships were also of all kinds. But they all have a common characteristic, the Japanese people standing on these ships are all showing off their might, and they don't take the Poyang Lake in their eyes at all. In their eyes, this well-armed warship is just a fat sheep more worthy of robbery, and they are the wolves of this sea.

Not far away, there was a sinking Japanese ship emitting smoke, apparently the one whose artillery had hit the pirate ship just now. There were several corpses floating on the water, and a dozen or so people were struggling to swim to other boats, while the Japanese on the other boats were laughing loudly and arrogantly, and they didn't take it seriously.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunzhen asked, "Where is the ship now?"

Chen Ang replied respectfully: "It is still on the coast of Zhejiang, and if the wind direction remains unchanged, it will reach the coast of Fujian tomorrow." ”

Bai Qingchen was surprised: "It is also said that they have just left the mouth of the Yangtze River, and it is not far from the Beijing Division, so these gangs of Japanese robbers dare to be so rampant?

Chen Ang replied: "Lord Huibai, these Japanese robbers rely on their strong martial arts and are better than the Ming soldiers in a single fight, so they never take the Ming army in their eyes, so they dare to attack our Ming warships with these small broken ships." However, the opponent's wolf pack tactics are indeed effective, often exchanging a small amount of losses for our big ships. ”

"Oh, how did the other party do it?" asked Shen Chaixing curiously.

"Actually, it's very simple," Chen Ang replied, "that is, relying on the large number of people on the ship, using the tactics of wolves, consuming our gunpowder, bows and arrows, and then sticking to our ship, waiting for the ship to fight, or directly approaching and burning the ship with firearms." This is our strategy when there is a single or small number of ships. Once our Ming Navy Division dispatched a large number of warships to encircle and suppress the Japanese invaders, the other side fled without a trace. And the sea is so vast that it is impossible to find it at all. ”

"In other words, when we have a ship, we can always find each other, but when we go to round up each other, we can't find any of them, right?" Shen Chaixing asked generally.

Chen Ang nodded helplessly. Everyone was very depressed when they heard this, and Shen Chaixing said: "This is the harm of the other party's cuckoo bird plan. ”

"So what should we do about the current situation?" Zhu Yunzhen asked Chen Angdao.

"The main purpose of our ship is not to fight, but to escort the princess to her destination, so you should use your good speed to speed up and get rid of the other party, and you don't have to get into trouble. ”

"But when you get home, this pile of trouble is still waiting for you. Shen Chaixing said lightly.

Zhu Yunzhen glanced at Shen Chaixing and said, "Lord Sheng Yongsheng, if you have any ideas, just say it, don't sell it!"

"What good ideas can I have?" Shen Chaixing spread his hands and pretended to be very helpless and said, "Since people want to play, let's play with him! ”

"Does Master Sheng mean that you will fight to the death with the other party now? I am worried that the ammunition and firearms will be consumed too much, and they will not be enough to use on the return trip. Chen Ang said worriedly.

"Don't send firearms or fire guns first, the other party has many advantages, and our advantages are big, so let's come to him to bully the small one and hit him with a boat." Then wait until you get close and then fire, one hit at a time. ”

"This" Chen Ang listened to Shen Chaixing's suggestion, hesitated a little, looked at Zhu Yunzhen, and said: "That's good, but I'm still worried that in the end, the firearms are insufficient, and the other party will fight on the boat." ”

Seeing the fear of these sailors for the Japanese in their bones, Bai Qingchen's beard was about to stand up, and he just wanted to scold a few words, but Shen Chaixing answered: "General Chen is also reasonable. These two problems are easy to solve, if the other party comes on board, we have the old man of the sword god here to sit in the formation, and the other party is not giving away the head in vain? As for ammunition, firearms and other things, this is easier to do, the destination we go to this time, as long as there is money, all kinds of materials are available, and then you can buy them openly, and if the funds are insufficient, I can put on the mat first!"

Encouraged by Shen Chaixing, the morale of the Poyang Lake was greatly boosted. This time, the Poyang Lake no longer considered how to leave quickly, but adjusted its speed to the fastest time and rammed into the nearby Japanese boats.

Seeing that the other party was speeding up, the Japanese ships thought that they were about to flee again, and were thinking of chasing and intercepting the Poyang Lake, when the extremely fast ship suddenly turned around and crashed into the place where the Japanese ships were most concentrated.

Caught off guard, one Japanese ship was smashed in half on the spot, and four other ships were crushed by the larger ship and sank to the bottom of the sea. The Japanese who fell into the sea were so close to the ship that they were sucked directly into the bottom of the ship, and their bodies did not even emerge and did not know where they had gone.

Seeing that the big ship was already very close, they threw out their claws and iron anchors, hooked the big ship, and boarded the ship at the same time to fight.

Shen Chaixing ordered not to cut off the opponent's flying claw rope, let it hang, and after fixing the target, he directly served with fire guns and crossbow arrows. The Japanese boats, which had wanted to use their claws to get on board, had become live targets at this time, and they could not escape, and fire bombs, bows and arrows, and fire oil were mercilessly sprinkled on these small Japanese boats hanging on the big ships, and suddenly the screams were incessant, and the battle turned into a one-sided slaughter.

Under the command of Shen Chaixing, the Daming Sailor was very excited to kill the enemy, and at the same time, the worship of "Sheng Yong" became more and more intense, and it was "Sheng Yong" who made them understand a truth: "When they meet on a narrow road, the brave wins"!
