Iron Dynasty

The icy sea breeze whizzed past the Galen ship, and the strong wind pushed the Galen ship to move fast at sea.

Every once in a while, Yue Yun will measure the dimensions and speed, and at the same time mark the specific position of the Galen ship at sea on the chart.

Starting from the sea exit, Yue Yun checked the longitude and latitude on the map along the way. Xiao Ming's test for Yue Yun this time was to see if they could reach Dengzhou with their knowledge of navigation while staying away from the coast.

His Royal Highness, there are still about ten miles to go to Dengzhou. After three hours at sea, Yue Yun entered the cabin.

At the beginning of the design of the Galen ship, the living and living place was set in the cabin.

After resting in the cabin room for a long time, Xiao Ming rubbed his eyes and got up.

He glanced at the chart that Yue Yun brought over. During the voyage, Yue Yun kept marking the route, which was indicated by a dotted line, and now it was about to be drawn from the sea port to Dengzhou.

Although the nautical knowledge learned from Yue Yun this time was very important, the precise latitude and longitude chart provided by Xiao Ming was equally important.

Because in this day and age even the West cannot have such sophisticated charts.

You can go to Yutai Village soon. Then, you have to invite this king to eat sea fish.

The sea is very bumpy, and the sails and battleships are up and down in the waves enough to make people spit out the contents of their stomachs.

It is difficult for a person without sea navigation experience to apply this kind of life, which is why he chooses seafarers from fishermen, because the genes of seafaring are already in their bones.

Along the way, Xiao Ming was a little uncomfortable, but the sailors on the boat were very excited, like fish entering the sea.

His Royal Highness, I will leave this to the next official. At least let His Highness taste abalone. This sea area is where we often fish. Yue Yun said with a smile.

The two went up to the deck while talking. Xiao Ming picked up the binoculars and looked forward. Suddenly, he saw a thick smoke in his eyes.

At this time he said, Yue Yun, look at the smoke in front of you coming out of your village.

Hearing this, Yue Yun's expression suddenly tightened. He immediately picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction Xiao Ming pointed.

Seeing the billowing thick smoke, Yue Yun was shocked, and he said anxiously, Your Highness, I'm afraid the village will be attacked by Japanese pirates.

Many of the sailors on the ship were from Yutai Village. At this time, as the ship got closer to the coast, the thick smoke was already visible to the naked eye.

Japanese pirates? Xiao Ming frowned. He picked up the binoculars to look over, and found that there were indeed three sea boats parked outside the village. After careful identification, these three sea boats were exactly the same as the Anzhai boat in the Japanese country.

Speed ​​up and let the gunner prepare! Xiao Ming ordered quickly.

A few days ago, Xiao Qi, the envoy of the King of Wei, had warned him that the Japanese disease along the coast was getting worse.

And this is Yutai Village, Yue Yun's hometown.

The gunner is ready, load the grape bombs. All the sailors on the ship immediately moved.

At this time, they were more anxious than Xiao Ming, because Yutai Village lived in their relatives, Yue Yun looked anxious, and wished he could fly over now.

Xiao Ming's eyes were deep. In Xiao Ming's view, the Great Yu Kingdom is now in a very dangerous era. Because of the twisted development process, the Great Yu Kingdom is like the Qing Dynasty. There has been no progress in science and technology for hundreds of years.

And now the domestic situation of Dayu is even more domestic and foreign, and it is in a very weak period.

From the perspective of modern history, since the seventeenth century, whenever the Central Plains Dynasty fell into decline, the neighboring Japanese state of the Central Plains Dynasty on the sea would take advantage of the fire.

On the one hand, this island country is naturally aggressive. On the other hand, the Dayu country is already struggling with the barbarians, and has no energy to deal with the Japanese pirates along the coast. This further fuels the arrogance of the Japanese pirates, so that the pirates along the coast are getting worse and worse. serious.

Even the Goryeo Dynasty on the opposite side of Dengzhou clearly supported the Japanese pirates to harass the coast of the Great Yu Kingdom.

The savage troubles of the barbarians had not been eliminated, and at this time, the Japanese troubles had appeared again. Xiao Ming suddenly thought that if he hadn’t come to this time and space, it would not be long before the Great Yu Kingdom would follow in the footsteps of Yaowan Daqing.

It's just that since he's here, even if all the jade and stones are burnt, the history of humiliation will not reappear on the children of the Han family.

Ready to fight!

The sails were all opened, and the strong wind caused the Galen ship to break through the waves at sea. After a while, the three Atakuya ships of the Japanese country appeared in everyone's field of vision.

It seemed that the Galen ship had been discovered, and the three Atakuya ships not only did not escape, but instead rushed towards them.

I don't know about life and death. Xiao Ming scolded.

For the invaders, Xiao Ming only had the word kill in his heart. He clearly remembered that the colonial pattern caused by the era of large seas still trapped his motherland like a cage.

Even though his motherland was already strong at that time, he was still humiliated by these former invaders, and he was still criticized internationally.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and Xiao Ming could already see the Japanese pirates on An Zhai's boat from the telescope.

These people were wearing clogs and kimonos with bows and arrows in their hands. At this time, the archers were already standing on the side of the ship, ready to shoot at the Galen ship.

Atakabune seems to be wearing a rectangular house with dense square holes, from which shooting can be carried out.

At this time, not only was the clothes covered with Japanese pirates, but there was something like a crossbow sticking out from the square hole of the ship.

Yue Yun gritted his teeth and looked at the burning village. He clearly saw that there were Japanese pirates in the village chasing and killing the villagers.

When the ships on both sides were 100 meters away, Yue Yun couldn't wait any longer. He shouted, Battle formation!

The flag-bearer waved the semaphore again and again. At this moment, the sails of the forward-going Galen ship suddenly changed position. At this moment, the three Galen ships suddenly turned sideways quickly, and their sides were aimed at the three rushing Ataka ships.

Come closer! Xiao Ming stopped Yue Yun, who was about to give the order to fire.

This distance was not enough to sink the Atakura ship in an instant, and the loading process was enough for the Atakura ship to get close to the Galen ship, and at that time it was probably a battle to catch up.

Yue Yun was just anxious and lost his judgment. He calmed down and put down his hand.

One hundred meters!

The Atakushi was approaching again, when a wave of arrows suddenly shot out from the Atakashi.

The soldiers on board who were preparing for melee combat had already put on all their armor, and immediately picked up their shields to block Xiao Ming and Yue Yun.

Dangdang... A series of arrows were blocked.

Sixty meters.

Dangdang... Another burst of arrows poured down, and at the same time, six powerful crossbows were suddenly launched from the opposite Anzai boat. These crossbows were very thick and were fired from bed crossbows. hemp rope.

These crossbow arrows with hemp ropes slammed into the hull of Galen's ship in an instant.
