Chapter 169 171. [The Era of Great Voyage] A decisive battle with the pirates on the island
『【((
In the next few days, after Nan Xiao taught several quartermasters, every ship in the fleet began to prepare Greek fire.These pots are subject to the strictest isolation measures and no one other than the craftsman is allowed to touch them.

At the same time, the crossbowmen on the fleet received a strange training task.They were asked to fire crossbow bolts bound with clay pots.The jars contained foul-smelling hogwash.You must be precise when firing the crossbow, and you must not break the jar.The stinking water was so smelly that the pigs on the boat didn't even eat it.If it is accidentally broken, it will not be clean after jumping into the sea for a day.People who smelled bad were severely discriminated against in the sailor's dormitory, and finally had to arrange a special bunk for them.

After suffering, the crossbowmen were careful and learned to operate the crossbow very carefully.

Then Nan Xiao selected people with outstanding arm strength and organized them into "Marine Corps Grenadiers". As the name suggests, they were the people who were responsible for jumping over the ship and killing the deck during hand-to-hand combat, and they had to know how to throw bombs.They were asked to practice throwing clay pots.The cans are smaller than the standard configuration on the crossbow bolts, and they also contain hogwash, which smells as bad as they want.

After the training, these five big and three big guys with amazing arm circumference can finally throw fist-sized clay pots proficiently onto the reef tens of meters away.The most accurate people can even hit the pre-drawn circle on the reef every time.

A few days later, Nan Xiao's fleet approached Jeju Island and was divided into a strike fleet and a decoy fleet as planned, and the battle began.

What follows is a long wait.I don't know if the news from the tavern owner is accurate, so it is very painful.

Occasionally, one or two passing merchant ships will be captured and all will be detained in Jeju Port.Some of these merchant ships claimed to have seen the island fleet.It is said that the entire Kuroshima water army has been dispatched, and all battleships have left the general base in Shikoku.The fleet is mighty and mighty, there are probably hundreds of ships!
Hundreds of warships, this is an incredible scale.However, after this gossip spread, morale not only did not drop, but rose.It is also very simple to say.Everyone was forced by Nan Xiao to throw away the stinky water cans for almost a month. If they ran away with their tails tucked without a fight, they would always feel bloody bad.Hearing that the army from Lai Island is coming, many people expect it to arrive sooner.

Finally one day, news came from the liaison ship of the decoy fleet that it had contacted the pirate army led by Kuijima and was carrying out the decoy plan.

good!Nan Xiao immediately ordered the strike fleet to leave the port.Everyone heaved a sigh of relief: after practicing for so long, they finally had a chance to do it.

Before the battle, it was early in the morning, and all the sailors on the deck of the Jackdaw gathered to listen to Nan Xiao's speech before the battle.

"Brothers," Nan Xiao said, "Warriors, we will live and die together in this battle!"

The sailors leaned their spears on the ground in unison and shouted: "Tiger!"

"Do you know what's waiting on the other side of the horizon? It's the myth of dominating the East China Sea!"

"Tiger!"

"As long as we win this battle, we will become the overlord of the East China Sea! When land kings mention the Nan Fleet, they will be in awe!"

"Tiger!"

Nan Xiao took a deep breath, imagining that anger was like a ball of fire, igniting herself from the inside out.He expressed this emotion, filled every word, and shouted: "Come with me, let us take down this glory!"

The sailors were emotional and shouted: "Long live! Long live the admiral!"

There was heavy fog on the sea, just as planned, the decoy fleet perfectly lured the enemy to pursue south.At this moment, the strike fleet led by Nan Xiao suddenly appeared from the fog, right behind the Laidao navy!

Comparing the number of ships alone, the Nanjia navy is not as good as the Laidao navy.The news sent back by the lure enemy fleet was correct.The enemy army has four or five hundred ships.Although at least half of them are small fishing boats, there are also more than 50 large galleys and nearly [-] medium-sized galleys.One of the largest ships seemed to be the ship of Tongkang Kushima, which was completely covered with a layer of iron armor and looked indestructible.

The enemy's flags are mixed, besides Lai Dao, there are dozens of families, large and small.Command confusion is a weakness.Mingming was shocked to see an enemy behind him, but turned around very slowly, and even some boats collided with each other.

"Go forward," Nan Xiao ordered, "Raise the decisive battle flag!"

The black skull flag was raised high, telling everyone on board: There is no retreat in this battle, and those who retreat will die!

This time, it was a head-to-head duel without any tricks at all.

The mighty fleet, with dozens of large ships on both sides, plus small boats shuttling between them, is formidable.

Strong winds are blowing at sea today, the waves are rough, and the waves are raging.

The Jackdaw followed the waves straight on.The sea wind was erratic, and the sails were rattling.

Li Huamei had already changed to another large galley as the captain, and at this time she was leading the ship named Chunhua to follow closely behind the Jackdaw.The distance between the two boats is no more than 30 meters, and the boats behind are also arranged in sequence, and the rules are strict.

The sailors of the Li family were originally trained according to the rules of the navy of the Ming Dynasty, and two generations of continuous training have obtained this elite.

woo-

The battle horn sounded on the Jackdaw.

The rumble sounded across the sea, deep and harsh, making people tremble all over.

woo-

The entire fleet responded one by one, and the momentum gradually increased.

"Turn around," Nan Xiao ordered, "half sail. Order the oarsmen to take their positions."

The sailor behind him immediately passed down his order.The crew hurried up and down the deck,
Lowering the sails is to prepare for battle.After entering the battle, only oars are the most reliable power.A battleship that relies entirely on sails may even be blown into the enemy camp by a sudden gust of wind.There are many famous generals in history who lost miserably without knowing why.

Nan Xiao looked sideways and stared at the silhouette of the Chunhua.Her snow-white sails are unique in the fleet, and a blooming red plum in the snow is painted on the sails.It had a hundred oars, a battery of cannon below deck, and twenty bed crossbows on deck.Today Chunhua is the absolute main force of the battle.All the sailors are the elite descendants of the Li family, and they are also the first group of people to receive Greek fire training.Today is the time to test the training results.

"Drop the oars," he ordered, "the semaphore signal, the whole ship lined up."

The whine of the horn sounded again, and upon receiving the instruction from the Jackdaw, all the big ships began to separate to both sides in an orderly manner.The paddles entered the water almost at the same time, and a heavy drum sounded from the bottom.Thump, thump, thump, like the heartbeat of a giant.The oar blades follow the movement of the drum in order, and a hundred people are like one.

Behind the Jackdaw and Chunhua, Yang Xien's Chunlan and Ivanka's Chunhui were also listed.
