Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

"Report!"

"The Japanese fleet has set off and is heading towards Fuzhou."

"The baggage and provisions are in the fleet."

On the Yellow Sea (now the East China Sea).

Zheng Zhilong was sitting on the flagship quietly listening to the report from the scouts.

The Japanese army has set off from the Shenjin River (Nagasaki) and is approaching Fuzhou.

In this first wave alone, Japan gathered nearly [-] ships.

"It seems that the Japanese side has also received the news."

"Knowing that we had received the royal decree, we hid the food and grass in the army."

"In this case, if we want to intercept and kill the baggage, we can only attack its army."

After listening to what the scout said, Zheng Zhilong frowned slightly.

This Japanese country is really careful.

Xu Xinsu, who was sitting next to him, pointed to the map and said.

"We only have such a small number of troops, so it would be inappropriate to attack by force."

"Since Japan won't give us a chance, we'll use the second plan."

"They attacked Fuzhou, so we went to Shenjin River."

"That's the only large port of Japan in the south."

"At this time, the main force of the Japanese country is deployed, which is the time when defenses are loose."

"We will sail directly over to force the main force of the Japanese fleet to return to defense."

"If he doesn't come back... then use artillery to destroy the port!"

In order to deal with the Japanese country, Xu Xinsu and Zheng Zhilong had been discussing for several days.

In the end, two plans were decided upon.

If the Japanese army moves forward but has food and grass behind, then it will intercept and kill its food and grass.

But if you take food and grass with you, then bomb the port.

"Well, yes."

"We can only take the initiative."

"I don't believe that these Japanese people dare to abandon the port of the main body."

Zheng Zhilong frowned and thought for a while and finally nodded.

The court's order is to restrain him for at least two months.

But we can't lose too many warships at the beginning.

"According to their sailing speed, they can cover about forty miles per hour. (The average is ten kilometers per hour, which is twenty kilometers per hour.)"

"The distance from Fuzhou to Shenjin River is about [-] miles, which is about five days."

"The wind on the sea is blowing towards Japan now. We will go up faster and we should be able to reach Japan in three days at most."

"It's totally in time."

"Let's see. The two of us have almost a thousand ships in total. Then we will divide [-] ships and sail up the wind to attack the Shenjin River."

"There are four hundred ships left to intercept halfway. Just hold them back."

"Well...how about you go to the Shenjin River?"

"In terms of frontal combat, I'm better than you."

"If you are good at running away, then lead a team to bomb the port."

What Zheng Zhilong said made Xu Xinsu roll her eyes.

how?

Are you the only one who knows the art of war?

It’s not like I haven’t read books!

But he didn't refuse either.

When it comes to naval battles, Zheng Zhilong, who has been fighting with the Dutch all year round, is much better than him.

And he himself is indeed better at astronomical ocean currents.

"Oh, okay."

"Then you have to hold off."

"Don't let me be killed by the Japanese fleet."

With a slight snort, Xu Xinsu nodded and said it was okay.

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but grinned when he saw this.

"Don't worry, we don't carry too many people and horses, and the ship is much lighter than the Japanese one."

"As long as you are not greedy, you can definitely run away."

"But you must move quickly and bring more throwing devices."

It's also a bit funny to say.

For the sake of this title, their two enemies now had to shake hands and make peace.

A year ago, who would have believed that he, Zheng Zhilong, would be sitting on a boat drinking with Xu Datou.

"Row."

"Then let's go now."

"Grandma, we have to let this Japanese country know who the boss of Huanghai is!"

That’s pretty much it.

Soldiers are expensive and fast!

After saying this, Xu Xinsu left the cabin and took the boat back to his own ship.

Less than half an hour.

Six hundred ships separated from the large force and quickly lowered their sails in the direction of Japan.

Zheng Zhilong had to wait a step slower. He still had to wait for the ammunition to be delivered from Fuzhou.

At present, many ships have been equipped with Folang machines produced by the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty.

After giving it a try, Zheng Zhilong completely fell in love with it!

Compared with the original version in the hands of Red Ghost, these improved Fo Lang machines have significantly improved range and power.

Perhaps the only thing that gives him a headache is that the sub-cannon of this Folang machine is not compatible with the original version.

We can only rely on the imperial court for supply.

Fortunately, he was not in a hurry.

According to the plan, he only needed to intercept these Japanese people at sea.

-------------------------------------

Three days later.

Near Diaoyu Island.

The Japanese fleet was less than half a day away from Fuzhou at this time.

On one of the largest ships, Tokugawa Youmaru (fictional) was looking into the distance with excitement.

From here you can already vaguely see the land.

That is the land of abundance that everyone in Japan longs for!

As a well-known war faction within the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Youmaru finally obtained the command of the fleet through constant lobbying.

If nothing else happens, he will return home with a full load this time!

After all, the main forces of the Ming Dynasty were staring at each other in Bianzhen and Huang Taiji.

Fuzhou's local troops alone cannot compete with the Japanese warriors!

As long as you can log in, that's fine!

And just when he was thinking about a better future.

suddenly!

Suddenly there were bursts of roars from the sky!

Then, water splashed all over the sky and showered him directly.

"Enemy attack!"

"Behind the island!"

"It's Zheng Zhilong's fleet!"

Tokugawa Youmaru was so startled that he almost fell to the ground.

When he finally came back to his senses, he saw the deputy next to him pointing to the side in horror!

"idiot!"

"What are you panicking about!"

Without saying a word, Tokugawa Youmaru quickly slapped his deputy on the forehead.

Then he took out his binoculars and looked sideways.

Sure enough, from behind the desert island, ships came out one after another.

The character "Zheng" fluttering in the wind and the bright yellow "Ming" flag all indicate the origin of this fleet.

Sure enough, it came...

Tokugawa Youmaru had calmed down by now.

He had received information earlier that Ming Manzi had ordered Zheng Zhilong and Xu Xinsu to be safe.

Therefore, he did not bring all the main force in this first attack, but used two-thirds of the ship's troops for testing.

Along the way, he was still wondering where Zheng Zhilong had gone.

In the end, I didn’t expect to be a cat here!

"Don't panic!"

"Hurry up and turn the rudder and fight back!"

At this time, Zheng Zhilong's fleet had already laid out a standard long snake after setting off from the island.

The cannons on the side were aimed at the Japanese fleet and were firing furiously!

If you want to fight back, you must also leak out the side and suppress the firepower on the opposite side!

I have to say that the sailing skills of this Japanese soldier are still very good.

They quickly adjusted according to the order, and the outermost warships turned around and exposed their side muzzles to try to fight back!

"Hey, turn right! Stick to it!"

"Use the Folang machine's rate of fire to take a hit first!"

On the opposite side, Zheng Zhilong, who was also observing, sneered when he saw the panic of the Japanese fleet formation.

There are not many Folang machines equipped by Japan, and most of them are bulky front-loading guns.

Although the range is longer, the reload speed is too slow.

As long as you survive the first round, you can go right in and fire at will!
