Chapter 140 The first fleet battle, full firepower! ! (Please subscribe!!)
Ocean fleet.
Inside the flagship/Yongan.
The man who fell into the water, Zhao Kuan, had now put on a brand new Baihu military uniform. His face was dark and there was an unhealed burn on his face, and his eyes were full of hatred.
Ouyang Lun/Ma He/Fang Mingqian are discussing specific combat plans.
Compared with going south out of the Yellow Sea and going north to Juhua Island, the distance will undoubtedly be much shorter, but it is only one or two hundred miles away, which means that the ocean-going fleet will soon face its first battle after its formation! "Sir, how should we deal with the Japanese pirates after arriving at Juhua Island?"
"Xinguo Gong ordered his subordinates to obey your orders!"
Different from the relaxation and excitement when they first went to sea, the atmosphere in the ocean fleet is now silent, and everyone knows that they are about to fight against Japanese pirates.
Fang Mingqian knew very well that Ouyang Lun's commanding position must be determined at this time, and only one person could be the general! "His Royal Highness King Yan also said that after joining the Prince Consort, Ma He's life will belong to the Prince Consort." Ma He also immediately expressed his loyalty.
"Yes." Ouyang Lun nodded. With two capable and sensible subordinates, it was easy to command.
"Chrysanthemum Island is not far from us. We will arrive at most tomorrow morning. However, I plan to speed up and arrive at night. The main reason is that the visibility is not good at that time and it is not easy to be discovered by the enemy. The enemy is in the light and I am in the dark. So, A lot of things can be done.”
"We are going to kill the enemy to avenge and regain the lost territory, not to fight tooth and nail."
"Determine the enemy's position, let's encircle them in one wave, and decide the outcome in one battle. Those Japanese pirates will definitely not be able to escape."
Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Ma He/Fang Mingqian nodded repeatedly, admiring Ouyang Lun even more. It looked like he was not going to sea for the first time at all, but more like a veteran of naval battles!
To put it bluntly, Ouyang Lun's strategy is to carry out sneak attacks. It is simple, quick and has a high winning rate.
"Fang Mingqian/Ma He."
"The general (subordinate) is here."
"From now on, the ocean-going fleet will be divided into two parts, each with four 055 cruisers as the main force. When they arrive near Juhua Island, Fang Mingqian will launch the first round of attacks. Then Zheng He will see the opportunity and target where the Japanese pirates gather. Take action."
"The last general (subordinate) takes orders!"
"Master Ouyang, here I am!" Zhao Kuan stood up, "The Japanese pirates killed hundreds of my brothers, and this revenge must be avenged!"
Ouyang Lun looked at Zhao Kuan and then said: "I really have a task for you here, and it is most suitable to give it to you."
"What mission!" Zhao Kuan asked hurriedly.
"I plan to send a small team to land on Juhua Island first to find out the information about the Japanese pirates. In addition, after the battle begins, we can carry out the beheading operation. We need someone who is familiar with Juhua Island to lead the way. However, this task is very dangerous and is equivalent to entering a tiger's den. , I don’t know”
Before Ouyang Lun could finish asking, Zhao Kuan nodded directly, "I do!"
"Okay! The Sea Wolf team is already waiting for you outside. Just go out." Ouyang Lun waved.
"Yes." Zhao Kuan saluted Ouyang Lun respectfully, and then walked out of the cabin.
With a battle strategy in mind and Zhao Kuan as a guide, the ocean-going fleet quickly headed towards the Chrysanthemum Road.
Ma He/Fang Mingqian also went to the other two 055 drives respectively. Ma He chose the Kaiping as his command ship, while Fang Mingqian chose the Funing.
Chrysanthemum Island.
Inside Huayu Village.
The lights were brightly lit, and samurai wearing Japanese samurai uniforms were directing their men to carry the corpses. These were the corpses of the villagers of Huayu Village.
"The people of Ming Dynasty are really vulnerable!"
"One day, we Japan will occupy the entire Ming Dynasty!"
"The land/women/wealth all belong to Japan!"
The two warriors opened their mouths arrogantly.
At this moment in the most luxurious house in the center of the village.
"Wang Sang, your information is so accurate!" A Japanese pirate dressed as a Japanese general said to a middle-aged man dressed in white with a bookcase: "Come on, let me toast you!"
"General Ashikaga, although we successfully captured Chrysanthemum Island, if we want to gain a foothold in Liaodong, we must capture Xingcheng, an important town in Liaodong. Otherwise, we will have to stay on Chrysanthemum Island and cannot continue to develop!" Wang Zhili said Wine Glass said.
"Wang Sang, please don't worry about this. There are only thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people in Xingcheng now. The combined strength of you and me is more than 1. I have arranged to attack all night. Xingcheng will be ours before dawn." !" Ashikaga Naoyoshi laughed.
"By the way, Wang Sang, the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty won't arrive before dawn, right!?"
Wang Zhi smiled slightly and said quite confidently: "General Ashikaga, please rest assured. No matter it is the reinforcements from Liaodong or Northern Zhili, it is absolutely impossible to arrive before dawn. Some of them can arrive, but I invited some mountain bandits." Brother, please help us delay this."
"Xingcheng wants reinforcements, unless divine soldiers descend from heaven!"
"But bandits are bandits after all, and they won't be able to hold them back for long. If General Ashikaga captures Xingcheng earlier, there will be fewer variables."
"And I also found out that Liu Yi, the commander of the Liaodong capital, is in Xingcheng. If he can be captured alive and persuaded to surrender, Ashikaga General can take over the entire Liaodong without any effort. The size of this land is comparable to Japan Island. Yes!" Wang Zhi said with a smile: "Of course, even if Liu Yi doesn't surrender and kills him, it will cause chaos in Liaodong. We can definitely take the opportunity to plunder, and the harvest will definitely be huge."
Hearing these words, Ashikaga Naoyoshi's eyes flashed and he said excitedly: "If I can really capture the land of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, I can open up territory for my Ashikaga family and provide my Ashikaga family with a steady stream of wealth/resources! "
"Pass this general's order, everyone please give me your money!!"
"We must capture Xingcheng before dawn!"
Near the Chrysanthemum Island Sea, warships turned off their lights one after another and slowly approached silently.
The Sea Wolf team has successfully sneaked into Chrysanthemum Island and sent back the first wave of information.
“I didn’t expect that there were tens of thousands of Japanese pirates!”
Ouyang Lun originally thought that this wave of Japanese pirates numbered in the thousands, but the intelligence sent back by the Lang Lang Team showed that a large Japanese pirate force was besieging Xingcheng, across the sea from Juhua Island, and there were less than 3000 Japanese pirates on Juhua Island.
"Have the battle orders been sent?"
"It has been delivered to Ma and Fang Mingqian."
Ouyang Lun nodded, "Very good, then let these Japanese pirates enjoy the despair before dawn!"
"Come on, let's go to the deck. This time we will also have a chat and laugh, and the boats and oars will be reduced to ashes!"
After saying that, Ouyang Lun stepped out of the cabin and walked to the deck.
Rocking chairs/warm wine/food are already ready on the deck.
Ouyang Lun sat down on the rocking chair and could clearly see the lights on Chrysanthemum Island, "It's a pity that my wife An Qing didn't come with us, otherwise I could have invited her to watch the fireworks today."
The night is dark and windy.
Ouyang Lun drank a glass of wine and said calmly: "Give me the signal and let Ma He/Fang Mingqian and others take action."
"Yes!"
call out--
A cloud-piercing arrow shot into the sky and exploded in the air.
On the coast of Chrysanthemum Island, two warriors on duty happened to see this cloud-penetrating arrow.
"Who is setting off firecrackers? Not to mention they look pretty, Japan doesn't even have such good-looking firecrackers." But then the two warriors on duty widened their eyes, their legs trembled, and their faces showed fear.
Because under the light of the firecracker explosion, what they saw was an extremely huge warship, and there were four of them, connected end to end, like a giant dragon surrounding Chrysanthemum Island, with countless black holes on the side hulls pointed at them!
next second! boom boom-
These black holes shoot out countless cannonballs! ! These shells have their own flames, which directly illuminate the entire Chrysanthemum Island, and the originally dark night suddenly turns into day!
Of course, this was the last scene that almost everyone on Chrysanthemum Island saw.
Boom!
Rumble! One 055 cruiser can fire 21 shells, four ships can fire 84 shells! ! These 84 shells landed in Huayu Village with great accuracy.
The Japanese pirates on Juhua Island were killed in the gunfire before they could react.
The four 055s fired a total of three rounds, almost covering the entire Huayu Village.
At the same time, the Sea Wolf team, under the leadership of Zhao Kuan, began to clean up the Japanese pirate leaders.
After the artillery fire stopped, Fang Mingqian directly led the fleet to land, and a total of five thousand soldiers landed on Juhua Island.
The Japanese pirates who were stunned by the bombing were unable to organize a decent resistance at all, and the ocean-going fleet quickly recaptured Juhua Island.
"Master Qi, there are a total of 055 Japanese pirates on Juhua Island. Two thousand were killed by [-] artillery fire, one thousand were annihilated by Master Fang, and hundreds were captured!"
"it is good!"
Ouyang Lun picked up the wine glass and took a drink.
"Tell Fang Mingqian, these Japanese pirates are all rich, they must be searched carefully by me, and all their money will be moved back to the fleet for me!"
Why does the ocean fleet go to sea? Fight against smuggling?Capture pirates?Suppress the Japanese pirates?
No, no, it’s all about making money! !
The war is over and the Japanese pirates are killed. If we don’t get the money, how can we subsidize the cost of having sex? "Yes!"
The soldiers were ordered to leave.
at the same time.
Ashikaga Naoyoshi and Wang Zhi fled to the shore with dozens of people in disgrace.
Until now, everyone is in a state of confusion. Everything was fine at first, but suddenly there was thunder and fire. If the guards hadn't fought tooth and nail to protect them, they would have been doomed.
"Who is it!!"
Ashikaga Naoyoshi roared, and then stared at Wang Zhi with his eyes, "Wang Zhi, is this what you said about the reinforcements not being able to arrive at dawn?!"
Faced with Ashikaga Naoyoshi's question, Wang Zhi was also confused and shook his head, "General Ashikaga, I don't know what's going on! But this is definitely not the reinforcements of Liaodong/North Zhili. They definitely don't have such a powerful force. Firepower!”
"Could it be the Ming Penglai navy?" Ashikaga Naoyoshi continued to ask.
"Impossible! Let's not talk about whether the Penglai Navy is so powerful. Penglai is thousands of miles away from Juhua Island. It will definitely not be reached within a few days of sailing. It has only been a few days since we started attacking Juhua Island? The Penglai Navy probably hasn't taken over Juhua Island yet. It’s even more impossible to come here after receiving the news!” Wang Zhi, as the leader of a smuggling group active in the Bohai/Yellow Sea, knew this information very well, otherwise he would not have cooperated with Ashikaga Naoyoshi to capture Juhua Island.
"Who did you get? Could it really be a divine weapon descended from heaven?" Ashikaga Naoyoshi muttered.
Just at this time.
Two Japanese warriors escaped, and they were the two people who saw the 055 drive.
"General! General!"
"What a big warship! There are four of them, like a hundred-foot-long dragon!"
"Their artillery can hit so far! So far! With a bang, a whole group of people are gone!"
"Woooo!"
"It's a magic weapon, we are definitely no match."
Although these two Japanese warriors were lucky enough not to be bombed, they were so frightened that they saw Huayu Village reduced to ruins, and the mental damage was no less severe than the physical damage.
Four giant ships? ! And artillery? ! "Bagaya Deer!" Ashikaga Naoyoshi stamped his feet angrily.
"General Ashikaga, our warships and main force are outside Xingcheng. We have to hurry up and join the main force now, and then gather our strength to kill those four warships first, otherwise we will be attacked from both sides!" Although Wang Zhi really wanted to Take Xingcheng, but if they don't kill the four warships that suddenly appeared, let alone take Xingcheng, they themselves are in danger of destruction.
After hearing Wang Zhi's words, Ashikaga Naoyoshi gradually calmed down.
"Wang Sang is right. Although the artillery of these four battleships is indeed powerful, I have thirty battleships. Kill these four battleships first!"
"Pass my general's order to withdraw the entire army, return to the battleship, and prepare for a naval battle!"
"Yes!"
As Naoyoshi Ashikaga/Naoyoshi Wang returned to the battleship, the Japanese pirate army that was originally attacking began to slowly retreat.
"Master Liu! Look! The Japanese pirates have retreated!"
On the wall of Xingcheng, Liu Yi, the commander of Liaodong Dusi, who had already wiped his neck with his sword, quickly stopped and looked outside the city with an excited look on his face, "The Japanese pirates have really retreated!"
"God bless me Daming!"
"Master Ma, do you know which reinforcements are coming?" Liu Yi asked Ma Yun.
Ma Yun shook his head, "I didn't notice it either, but just now I vaguely heard the sound of artillery coming from the direction of Juhua Island on the sea. It may be reinforcements coming from the sea."
"Reinforcements at sea?!" Liu Yi was stunned, feeling a little incredible, "Penglai Navy? But how did they know that Juhua Island had fallen and Xingcheng was besieged?"
Ma Yun said: "Mr. Liu, I think we don't need to find out who the reinforcements are now, but we are preparing to cooperate with the reinforcements at sea to attack the Japanese pirates and strive to eliminate them!"
Liu Yi nodded repeatedly, "Master Ma, you are right. I have already made a mistake once, and I cannot make another mistake!"
"Soldiers, listen to my orders!"
"The whole army goes out to cover up and kill the Japanese pirates!"
Although it is not clear how many reinforcements have arrived, they can force the Japanese pirates to give up Xingcheng, which they have almost captured. The strength of the reinforcements must be good. At this time, if he leads his troops to cover up, he will definitely be able to cause a lot of damage to the Japanese pirates!
"Come on!"
"Kill the pirates!"
Liu Yi and others led thousands of soldiers out of Xingcheng to pursue the Japanese pirates.
As they expected, the Japanese pirates kept running away and did not dare to entangle with them. This made Liu Yi and others more and more convinced that coming for reinforcements was the best time to annihilate the Japanese pirates.
Chase them all the way to the coast.
It was getting brighter at this time, and you could see the sea clearly at a glance.
After Liu Yi and others saw it clearly, they almost fell off their horses.
