Great Song Pirate

Chapter 552 How to Fight

After laughing with everyone for a while, Xu Yi said seriously: "I said it, I said it, I laughed it, now we should talk about the business!"

As Xu Yi's words fell to the ground, all the generals immediately straightened their bodies, and Xu Yi continued: "It seems that the Dazaifu has come out in full force this time, and the assembled troops are much more than we originally expected. It seems that they They want to annihilate us here in one fell swoop, so we might as well discuss it and see how we can eat this piece of fat this time! Don't be troubled by them anymore!"

Everyone couldn't help but smile again...

On the sea to the west of Ma Mao Island, a small Japanese boat fled desperately, but was soon overtaken by a fast boat with a skull flag, and several flying boats flew out from the ship with the skull flag high. Something hit the light and small Japanese boat heavily, and then the Japanese boat slowed down immediately, and then a few Japanese on it jumped off the boat in panic, but the one that was caught up after that The ship of the Fubo army was crushed heavily into the sea water, and there was a rain of arrows from the ship, and there was no longer a living Japanese on the sea.

"Today we have already killed three of them! It seems that the big Japanese ship is really coming! Brothers, let's make a bright spot, and don't let the Japanese sentinel ship escape our eyes!" The captain of the fast boat Said to the brothers on board.

"Don't worry, Captain, our clairvoyance is really good! We can't run away from them!" The lookout on the mast bucket answered him loudly, holding a single-eyed telescope.

They patrolled the sea for another half a day, and the watchman on the bucket finally found a dark black line on the sea line, and immediately shouted to the captain: "Captain! There are a large number of ships on the sea, the number is unknown, anyway Too many to count!"

The captain slapped his hands on the railing heavily, and said with a smile, "Okay! It's finally here! Turn the rudder and return!" So the sailors on the ship immediately steered and adjusted the sails, and turned to the direction of Tanegashima.

For more than a day, Muto felt more and more that something was wrong, because he asked Urao Shimohiro many times about the situation, but Urao Shimohiro kept answering, except that the sentry ship sent to Yakushima returned, saying that Yakushima Now it has become an uninhabited island, and none of the ships sent to Tanegashima for reconnaissance has returned any news. , These scout ships sent out are in danger!Muto's heart began to sink a little.

When they attacked Hei Island the night before, they were blown up by the explosive thing left by the skeleton army, and they lost hundreds of people. The blow to their morale was not small, so they had to be careful. When they passed Iwo Jima along the way, they became extremely cautious. Now the fleet has long lost the excitement that it had when it first set off. up!

Judging from the news sent back, there are no skeleton pirates entrenched in Yakushima, so there is no need for them to go to Yakushima again, but this news is not too bad for Muto. The skeleton pirates are all concentrated in Tanegashima, which is also good, just convenient for them to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

After receiving the news of the ships returning from Yakushima, Muto discussed with the generals, separated two fleets from his huge fleet, and sent them fifty warships each, nearly three Four thousand generals, one sent to the direction of Yakushima, where they intercepted the skeleton pirates who escaped from Tanegashima after the defeat, and the other was led by Urao Shimohiro, and sailed to the northern end of Tanegashima and the Prime Minister of Osumi He then ordered their two fleets to attack Tanegashima from two sections after reaching the predetermined location, so that the skeleton pirates entrenched on Tanegashima could not look at each other head to tail. His move was very ruthless. Spicy, it can be said that a net has been formed, and the Fubo army will be wiped out this time.

And he personally led the remaining more than 300 main fleets, no longer thinking about it, and rushed directly to Tanegashima. The destination is Akaogi Port, where the only port on Tanegashima is. If they are still in Tanegashima, then their main fleet must be in Akaogi Port.

Although more than a hundred ships were distributed, the strength of the remaining main fleet is still very impressive. Muto was not worried that his main fleet would not be their opponent after encountering the fleet of skeleton pirates until Now, he still insists that the skeleton pirates came to revenge this time, but they brought thirty or forty warships. No matter how big the ships of the Song people were, the number of soldiers would definitely not exceed 5000, and his current strength Compared with the power of the skeleton pirates, it is still in an absolute advantage.

So he didn't choose to make any small moves this time, but swaggered directly to the direction of Akaogi Port, wanting to have a big showdown with the skeleton pirates in an upright manner, and wipe them out completely.

At the same time, an equally mighty and huge fleet gathered on the east sea of ​​Ma Mao Island. Although the number was less than a hundred, these ships were not much comparable to those of Muto's Japanese ships. , Even the smallest sea falcon clipper among them can be regarded as the absolute main force in Muto's fleet.

Xu Yi looked up at the flags and flags on the mast and the sky. Today, there is a layer of thin clouds, but overall the weather is not bad. The wind is not strong, but it is very suitable for sailing. Back here, the entire fleet was busy, cleaning the cannons, adjusting the ballistas, bows, knives, guns and other things are ready, and they can be dispatched immediately after Xu Yi gives an order.

This time it was a head-to-head confrontation between them and the Dazaifu of Xikaidao, Japan. Although they are not afraid that they will not win, it is also related to whether they will pay a heavy price, so Xu Yi, Sun Hai, Wang Zhi and others have been studying how to deal with Muto Fleet, at this time the latest news has been sent.

"Mu Teng is really a cunning guy, and he actually divided his troops into three groups, planning to attack us from three directions. Fortunately, we were well prepared, otherwise, we really wouldn't be caught off guard by them!" Xu Yi casually threw two The small blue flags were inserted on the chart, which happened to be marked at both ends of Tanegashima, and those two places were exactly where Muto sent two teams to arrive.

War is sometimes about fighting information. Whoever has more information on the battlefield can take the initiative. Don't look at this is the sea area of ​​the Japanese country. After many days of cleaning, this sea area has been completely controlled by the Fubo Army , and released at least a dozen fast boats to serve as sentry ships, and concentrated the telescopes in the fleet to be distributed to their watchmen, so that they were far ahead of the enemy, found the opponent's traces, and then quietly To evade and use the carrier pigeon to send the news to Xu Yi very quickly, completely grasp the initiative, basically it can be said that the information is unilaterally transparent, this is Xu Yi's biggest advantage at present.

"Look at this battle so far, how should we fight?" Xu Yi asked the brothers around the table, wanting to hear everyone's opinions.

Looking at the chart, Wang Feng first said: "According to me, although there are many Japanese ships, their warships are nothing compared to ours. Let's go directly to meet them and fight them. As long as Muto's main fleet is defeated, the remaining two fleets will have nothing to worry about!"

Xu Yi nodded and did not speak, so Sun Hai followed Wang Feng's words and said: "The other two Japanese fleets are nothing to worry about. We have already considered this point. Where is the fleet commanded by Fang Shufang in the south? If they can't drop their ships, at least they can be dragged, and it won't be a big problem to disable them.

It’s not a big deal for the Japanese fleet to go back to the north. Our infantry is concentrated in the north. If they don’t come, it’s fine.Commander Yang and the others have been waiting for them for a long time!
As for what Wang Feng said is also reasonable, but if we do this, I am afraid we will not be able to take advantage of it. At present, Muto's main fleet is coming from the west. On the other hand, the wind direction is very unfavorable to us, and our ships are relatively large, not as flexible as the opponent's small boats. Once we fight, it may be difficult for such a large fleet to maintain formation. Once the two sides get entangled, We are likely to fall into a passive position. After all, their number of ships far exceeds ours. If they get entangled together, it will have a great impact on our long-range firepower advantage!

Doing so will cause a lot of unnecessary losses, but now we are not allowed to make a detour, go around and seize the limelight. After all, the opponent's fleet stretches far away, as long as we go out from here, we will be exposed immediately With all our strength, if we want to catch them by surprise, it may not be easy! "

After listening to Sun Hai's words, Wang Feng and Lin Xiong scratched their heads a little, and muttered: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so let's just wait and let them come over, and then go out and fight them decisively?"

At this time, a person standing at the end suddenly said: "This little guy has a way, I don't know if it will work!"

Everyone saw that it was Ma Zhe, the counselor under Fang Shu, who was now transferred by Xu Yi to work under him, so they all looked at what this scribe could do.

(This is a transitional chapter, brothers, don’t come out and scold me for cheating! It’s about to start! Call a few more times to see if there are any brothers who have rewarded monthly tickets!)
