Chai Lin said: "There are at least 10,000 pirates in the 'Black Dragon Palace' surrounding the island, more than 200 ships, and no less than 60 large gunboats, but I don't know what the strength of the imperial court sailors brought by Cao Gongzi this time?"

The navy of the Ming Dynasty was the first naval fleet in the world, in the heyday there were only 250 ocean-going "treasure ships", and there were thousands of warships, which had defeated the navies of Portugal, the Japanese and other countries, and was once the maritime suzerainty of Southeast Asian countries, and there was no national fleet on Shijie that could compete with the sailors of the Ming Empire.

It's a pity that these are all past glories, and they are all a hundred years ago. Today's Ming court has serious internal and external troubles, and the government is also corrupt, so it can no longer afford to support such a large fleet of sailors. With the continuous reduction of military spending, the naval division Liliang has also been weakened, the ships and soldiers have been greatly reduced, and the courage of the past has long been lost, and the so-called suzerainty of the sea is only in name.

Chai Lin's ancestors lived on the coast of Guangdong, and he was once an official in the court, so of course he knew this very well, and he was worried that the naval forces mobilized by Cao Duyun were still not enough to fight against the pirates of the "Black Dragon Palace".

Zhao Xuhai said: "This time the sailor went out to conquer, it was led by Cao Gongzi and Admiral Shen, in addition to the people and horses of the Chaozhou Mansion Tuolin Water Village where the last general was located, the Nantou Village in Guangzhou, the Beijin Village of Zhaoqing Prefecture, the Jieshi Village of Huizhou and the Baigemen Village of Leizhou Mansion in Guangzhou were all poured out, only the Baisha Village was too far away, and the fast horses could not rush to the order before sending troops. Now there are 230 naval warships outside the island, including 10 three-masted gunboats, 23 Fu ships, and dozens of Haicang ships, Chi Wheel Ships, and Cangshan Ships. ”

Hearing this, Chai Lin was relieved.

In fact, Cao Duyun's trip did transfer more than eighty percent of the naval strength of the Ming Dynasty in Guangdong. He holds the secret decree of the current emperor, and he already has the power to transfer officials from various provinces, not to mention that the Cao family is powerful in the current imperial court.

Although Shen Youlong is the commander of the Sanpin Admiral who is in charge of the military power of Guangdong Province, and he can be regarded as a member of the party, he still has to do his best to meet Cao Duyun, the secret envoy from the imperial city of Kyoto, and when he hears that he is going to conquer the pirates, he is afraid that he will not send enough troops, which will make this Duyun prince dissatisfied.

So, he mobilized all the liliang that he could mobilize, if it weren't for Baishazhai being far away on Qiongzhou Island, it was too late to mobilize, Shen Youlong would definitely transfer all the ships and sailors of the six major water villages in Guangdong.

And personally leading the Wuzhai Water Division to go on the expedition, of course, it is also the duty of Admiral Shen.

It was precisely because of the need to mobilize people from various parts of the water village that it was delayed for several days, so that the time to arrive at Okura Island was a little later than expected.

Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao talked with Zhao Xuhai in the council hall for a while, and then went down to mobilize people to prepare for tonight's battle.

The time of attacking the "Black Dragon Palace" water village is set at the time of the third watch, and this battle of the island counteroffensive can be described as the combination of the sailors of the Ming Dynasty and the "Wanjintang", and the decisive battle with the king of pirates in the South China Sea.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "Jinyu" is a clear yellow warship, 31 zhang long, more than 5 zhang wide, a total of six masts, can hang 13 sails, the deck has a total of three layers, and the sides of the ship are equipped with 16 guns and 24 giant crossbows.

Although it is not as good as the giant shark warship of the "Black Dragon Palace", the "Golden Jade" can also be regarded as a rare large warship, and the streamlined hull and so many mast sails can make this ship very fast and agile on the sea. On the top of the highest mast in the bow of the ship, there is a large apricot yellow flag with a pattern of gold ingots painted on it, which is the symbol of "Wanjintang".

"Jinyu" is the flagship of "Wanjintang".

In the night, the "Golden Jade" is moored in the center of the wharf of the harbor, and the apricot yellow flag is waving in the wind. The three principals of the "Wanjin Hall" are all on the high platform at the bow of the ship at the moment, Sima Rulan is still dressed in a snow-white dress, standing slim, and Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao are standing on her left and right.

Hua Bushi, Zhu Hong, Bai Yiling, and Zhao Xuhai, the head of Tuolin Village, were also standing beside him, and there were dozens of "Wanjintang" disciples on the deck who carried swords and swords, holding torches, illuminating the "Jinyu" and the surrounding sea.

Around the "Golden Jade", there are more than 20 large and small ships moored in various parts of the wharf, most of these ships belong to the "Wanjintang", and a few are frigates of various businesses in the city. The decks of each ship were filled with heavily armed warriors, each with lantern torches, and the sporadic flames filled the entire coast of Okura Port.

These twenty or thirty ships are all the remaining warships in Okura Castle, and the warriors on the decks of each ship are the elite of the guards of the "Mankindo" and various merchants.

The sea has always been calm during the day, but at night the wind suddenly blows, and the bay is set off layers of white Lang, perhaps the dragon god who is in charge of the wind and rain in the sea, and he also knows that there will be a big battle outside Okura Island tonight, and he is not willing to be lonely to come to help.

The second watch has passed, the stars and moon in the sky have blurred, and the night has become darker. Although there were many people on the deck of each ship, no one made a sound at the moment, and all that could be heard was the beeping of the burning torches and the "whooshing" sound of the sea crashing against the side of the ship.

Yao Yuanxiao took a few steps forward, walked to the fence of the lookout, and shouted loudly: "All the disciples of the 'Wanjin Hall', the brothers who are guarding Okura Castle together! Now that the food in the city has been exhausted, and the artillery ammunition has been used up, Okura Castle has now reached a desperate situation, and we have no way to retreat! If we can't win tonight's battle, then it will be the Zuihou battle we are waiting for!"

He paused for a moment, and then said: "However, Yao believes that tonight is definitely not the Zuihou battle of my Okura Castle! The pirates have besieged the island, you have been fighting hard to defend this city for more than 40 days, and the enemy's forces and ships are several times that of mine, but they have not been able to attack the city for half a step! Now that the reinforcements have arrived, it is the best time for us to counterattack the 'Black Dragon Palace' water village! Relieve the siege of Okura Castle tonight!"

There was a shock, but it was Yao Yuanxiao who slammed the iron rod in his hand to the ground, and he shouted: "Yao believes that our Okura City will win tonight!"

All of a sudden, all the people on the boats drew their swords, raised them above their heads, and shouted, "Tonight will be won!"

"Wanjintang is invincible!"

"Kill the Black Dragon King!"

"Okura Castle will win!"

Most of the disciples of the "Wanjin Hall" and the guards and bodyguards of various merchants, most of their families, wives and children are in Okura Castle, if this city falls, all the children in their families will not be able to live, and they will definitely be killed by pirates. In such a situation, even without agitation, these people were determined to defend the city to the death, and now the crowd was even more excited, and the shouts were louder than louder.

It took a long time for the shouting to subside.

Yao Yuanxiao took the torch in the hand of one of the gangsters, waved his arm, and threw it overboard the ship, and the torch flew straight for more than ten zhang before falling into the sea water and extinguishing it.

He shouted, "Now the ships put out the torches!"

In tonight's naval battle, Okura Island and the Ming Imperial Court sailors will attack inside and outside, and raid the water village of the "Black Dragon Palace" pirates. At Yao Yuanxiao's order, everyone on each boat threw torches into the sea, and as the flames were extinguished, darkness suddenly enveloped the entire harbor.

Although the torch has been extinguished, the fierce fighting spirit in everyone's hearts has been ignited!

When Zuihou submerged into the sea with a little firelight, Yao Yuanxiao shouted: "All ships set sail and set off to attack the 'Black Dragon Palace' water village!"

Chai Lin walked up to Sima Rulan and said, "Tonight's battle is very dangerous, Chai Lin and Elder Yao have to go to other ships to attack the enemy's village, they can't stay by the side of the eldest lady, and the virtuous niece is sitting on the 'Golden Jade', so they need to be more careful." ”

Sima Rulan said: "Lan'er doesn't want to sit on this ship, I also want to go up to the warship to rush to the water village to kill pirates!"

Yao Yuanxiao said: "No! Naval warfare is not as good as land warfare, it is extremely dangerous for ship guns to shoot fire, no matter how high the martial arts are, it is difficult to resist, the eldest lady has never experienced a war, don't risk yourself, if there is a mistake, we can't afford it!"

Chai Lin also said: "The virtuous niece is the lord of Okura City, sitting on the flagship can stabilize the morale of the army, and boost the morale of the disciples of the 'Wanjin Hall' on each ship.

Sima Rulan pouted, although she didn't say anything against it, she was obviously unwilling.

Chai Lin turned to Hua Bushi on the side and said, "Young Master Hua also stays on this boat, please take care of the eldest lady." ”

Hua Bushi smiled slightly, and said: "The head of the Chai family can rest assured, Miss Lan'er is not a person who does not know the general situation, not to mention that this ship is helmed by Peng Sanye, so there will be no accidents." ”

Peng San was originally a wise man raised by Chai Yuan, and of course Chai Lin knew his ability to steer a boat. At that moment, Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao said goodbye to the eldest lady of the city lord together, and Zhu Hong also left with them.

Now there are not many masters in Okura City, and Zhu Hong also has to rush on a warship to kill, and the responsibility of protecting Hua Bushi is handed over to Bai Yiling.

In the darkness, dozens of large and small ships of Okura Castle raised their sails one after another and left the dock to sail towards the gorge of the bay.
