Feng Batian looked at Yunze in surprise. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He was full of doubts, but he was too embarrassed to speak out. Moreover, looking at Yunze's determined expression, he always felt that Yunze was probably well prepared.
After all, the man in front of him was the ruthless man who once destroyed the Jin people. If you knew how powerful the Jin people were, the news would have spread throughout the entire Jing Dynasty. Such a powerful Jin man suffered at the hands of Yunze. The young man in front of them was definitely not as simple as they thought.
However, facing such a critical situation, he really didn't know what Yunze's abilities were that could turn defeat into victory for them.
Feng Siniang and Feng Yujiao were also full of doubts. They looked at Yunze with a look of inquiry in their eyes.
At this moment, a fleet of six fishing boats appeared on the right side of Batu Island in the darkness. After seeing the six fishing boats, Feng Batian, Feng Siniang, and Feng Yujiao had disappointment on their faces.
Those six fishing boats didn't look big. Compared with the sixty enemy ships opposite, they were at least nearly one-third smaller, and probably even smaller. How could such six fishing boats be compared with those sixty war ships?
Even if the warships on Black Wind Island are included, they are definitely no match.
While Feng Batian and the other three were confused, Yunze said to Feng Batian: "Captain Feng, please don't let your warships go up against us anymore, just watch the show from behind..."
When Feng Batian heard this, he looked at Yun Ze hesitantly. When he met Yun Ze's determined gaze, he quickly asked his men on the side to blow the horn.
As the horn sounded, the Black Wind Island warship in front of it reacted. It was sailing rapidly towards the opposite warship, and then slowly stopped.
The sixty warships on the opposite side did not stop advancing and continued to rush towards Black Wind Island. I'm afraid that in half an hour, we can rush to Black Wind Island.
Seeing this scene, Feng Batian looked anxious, and Feng Siniang and Feng Yujiao were also anxious. If they were allowed to land on the island, the battle would be extremely detrimental to Black Wind Island.
While they were anxious, Yunze took out another signal firework, lit it, and the red firework instantly rose into the air.
At this time, on one of the six fishing boats, Yang Xing looked at the red fireworks rising into the sky with a look of solemnity on his face. He opened his mouth and said: "Prepare the artillery, aim at the ship over there, and blast it... "
This was the signal Yunze had agreed with them, and red was the signal to attack. As for who to attack, Yang Xing knew it no matter how stupid he was.
They were waiting for Yunze's signal and were ready to land on the island at any time. Yang Xing thought that it might take a few days for Yunze to reach an agreement with Feng Batian on the island.
Unexpectedly, just one day later, Yunze on the island sent a signal. Moreover, they also saw the approaching warships of the Sea Lion Gang and the Flying Fish Party. They knew that Yunze was planning to let them help Black Wind Island.
Although they were not using a warship, the weapons and equipment on board were all Yunze prepared to give to Black Wind Island for self-protection. Among them are mountain cannons.
With these mountain cannons in hand, they may not pose much of a threat to the enemy, but they can definitely scare these enemies away. After all, these warships are not Hebrew warships, and their weapons and equipment are far behind those in the hands of Yang Xing and others.
As Yang Xing's order was conveyed, the People's Army soldiers on the six fishing boats quickly adjusted their gun muzzles and fired at the sixty warships not far away.
Huh...bang...the cannons roared towards the enemy warships, and in an instant, flowers bloomed among the warships. The decks of sixty warships were blown to pieces, and they screamed repeatedly.
The originally aggressive coalition forces were suddenly caught off guard. On one of the main ships of the warship, the two leaders of the Sea Lion Gang and the Feiyu Party looked at the warship that was severely bombed, and their faces turned pale with fear.
Among them, Seal, the leader of the Sea Lion Gang, looked at a Hebrew speaker on the side and said: "Mr. Messenger, what should we do? There is such a fleet on Blackwind Island. If we attack again, we are afraid that half of the warships will be lost. In this case, we can’t even land.”
"Yes, Sir Messenger, there is no movement on the shore. I am afraid that the guy who slaughtered him has failed. Even if we attack, we will not get any benefits. Let's retreat quickly."
Yu Cheng, the leader of the Feiyu Party, was so frightened that his face turned pale.
From the fireworks appearing on the island to the fishing boats appearing nearby, they knew that the plan on the island might have failed. Even with the sharp weapons in their hands, they would not get any benefits from going to the island.
Even if they could destroy Black Wind Island, they would still suffer heavy losses, and they were not willing to suffer losses.
"Speaking of which, if you can lend us your cannons, or this time, we won't have to retreat." At this time, Seal, the leader of the Sea Lion Gang, glanced at the Hebrew man and said cautiously.
He was very keen on the weapons of the Hebrews. Although the Hebrews also gave them some guns, what they wanted most were the cannons.
When fighting at sea, if you have artillery, you can be invincible. With a few cannons, you can even directly sink the opposing warship. It's strange that they are not jealous.
But the Hebrew man didn't seem to want to hand this thing over to them, which made the two of them feel a little unhappy. However, the Hebrew man's weapons prevented them from challenging each other.
"Hmph... Even if I give it to you, do you use it?" The Hebrew man glanced at the two of them coldly. He turned to look at the six fishing boats over there, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.
"Yunze again, you are the only one who has this thing. If you dare to ruin our good deeds, our leader will never let you go..." The Hebrew man gritted his teeth and looked over there, with a face full of unwillingness, and he said angrily:
"Turn...retreat..."
Since it is no longer possible to capture Black Wind Island, and now it is being bombarded by artillery that makes people panic, any further attack will only lead to the destruction of their entire army.
After all, if the artillery was any closer, it would definitely destroy their warship. Not to mention, the rebellion on the island was suppressed so quickly. He suspected that Feng Batian had already colluded with Yunze.
He even doubted whether there would be such powerful firearms on the island. If they were to attack the island, they might not be enough to kill them. Although he was very unwilling to fail in his plan, he could only choose to avoid it for the time being.
On Black Wind Island, Feng Batian and others saw sixty warships turning around and leaving. Their faces were full of astonishment. However, they could see clearly on the shore that the reason why those warships escaped was entirely because of the clouds. There are six fishing boats here in Ze.
Several people looked at Yunze, their eyes were filled with surprise, gratitude, and respect. The looks Feng Yujiao and Feng Siniang looked at Yunze also became a little complicated.
At the same time, Yang Xing saw the enemy ship escaping, and they sailed towards Black Wind Island. Feng Batian was afraid that it would cause misunderstanding, so he quickly asked his men to send a message with a horn.
He, Feng Yujiao, Feng Siniang and others accompanied Yunze to welcome the arrival of six fishing boats at the port. When the fishing boats approached, the People's Army with a total of nearly a thousand people on the six fishing boats landed ashore.
When he saw the strange uniforms of the People's Army, Feng Batian's face was full of astonishment, but there was a look of envy in his eyes. The standard uniforms of the People's Army looked very majestic. Moreover, the military appearance of the People's Army was neat and solemn. At first glance, it looks like an army capable of hundreds of battles. This kind of army is definitely the best among the best.
Several people looked at Yunze with even more respect. You must know that the thousand men under Yunze are so elite, then the other soldiers under him will not be far behind.
No wonder he was able to defeat the Jin people and became famous throughout China. Feng Batian and others felt happy when they thought that they had agreed to join Yunze.
"General, I have met the young master..." Yang Xing stepped forward to greet Yunze. He used a military salute, not a kneeling salute, which surprised Feng Batian and others even more.
"No need to be polite, just transport the things I gave to Captain Feng. With these things, it will no longer be difficult for Captain Feng to eliminate the Sea Lion Gang and the Flying Fish Party!"
Yunze waved his hand to Yang Xing. Yang Xing nodded after hearing the words. He turned around and gave orders to his people's army.
Soon, the People's Army soldiers captured everything on the ship, with 3,000 rifles, 100,000 rounds of bullets, and 100 artillery pieces. and nearly 10,000 artillery shells.
Since taking over the arsenal built by Shi Ren outside Jiaxing City, and through Yunze's improvements, the current arsenal production has increased several times, which is more than enough to support an overseas war.
Seeing those hundred artillery pieces and three thousand rifles, Feng Batian's face was full of shock, but more of it was ecstasy. Especially those artillery pieces. Although it was the first time he saw them, he vaguely guessed that it was these artillery pieces that had scared the enemy ships just now.
As for the rifles, he was also full of surprise, because he had heard of them, and the last time the Hebrews came to recruit them, each of their soldiers had one on their shoulders.
He knew that these were Hebrew muskets, but compared to the Hebrew muskets, the rifles Yunze brought were more sophisticated.
Yunze picked up one of the rifles, smiled in front of Feng Batian and said: "Captain Feng, this thing is extremely powerful. It can easily kill people within a hundred feet. Do you see the wind lantern over there? !”
Having said this, Yunze pointed to a hurricane lantern fixed there on the dock. He raised his gun and shot at the lantern.
With just a bang, the wind lantern was knocked out in an instant. When they heard the muffled sound of Feng's leather being shot through, Feng Batian and others' breathing was stagnant. The wind lantern was a hundred feet away from them. Although the sheepskin wrapping the wind lantern is very thin, it is difficult to be cut by a knife.
But who would have thought that it would be shot through so easily? You can imagine how powerful this thing in Yunze's hand is.
"Haha... Mr. Yun, thank you very much. With these things, it will not be difficult to destroy the two islands..." Feng Batian was very excited, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
Yunze smiled and said to Feng Batian: "Captain Feng, there are three thousand rifles here. You can choose three thousand reliable brothers. I will let Yang Xing lead people to train them how to use it. Wait for seven days. , we will go and destroy the Sea Lion Gang and the Flying Fish Party. In addition, I will have these artillery installed on your ship."
"Okay... then it's settled, Mr. Yun, just come with me. We can no longer live at the foot of the mountain. Follow me to the village..." Feng Batian laughed and made a gesture of invitation to Yun Ze.
Yunze smiled and followed Feng Batian towards his base camp, followed by Feng Siniang and Feng Yujiao. When everyone passed by the previous restaurant, Feng Siniang looked a little unhappy when they saw the restaurant still burning.
Feng Batian and Feng Yujiao were also a little silent. This restaurant may have special meaning to them, and it would be a pity for them to burn it down.
Yang Xing was taken to the pirate barracks by one of the leaders to settle down. For the next time, Yunze stayed in Feng Batian's camp, while Feng Batian personally selected trustworthy brothers to train them.
The rifle is so powerful that even a master like Feng Batian will be wary of it. If this thing falls into the wrong hands, it might easily kill Feng Batian.
Yang Xing assisted Feng Batian in training his soldiers, while Feng Siniang and Feng Yujiao came to see Yunze every day. Feng Yujiao looks arrogant, but she still gives Yunze delicious food from time to time.
It was said that she had cooked these things herself. When Yunze talked about it, she refused to admit it. Even if Yunze caught him, she said that she had exchanged pistols with Yunze.
Yunze smiled and gave the pistol to Feng Yujiao. This thing was actually of little use to him, and could only come in handy at critical moments. Such as in times of emergency.
As for Feng Siniang, she came to Yunze for a drink every day and teased Yunze when she had nothing to do. But every time, she was teased by Yunze until her face turned red with embarrassment. He was even taken advantage of several times by Yunze.
The days passed quickly as Yunze was having fun with the two girls. When the seventh day was approaching, Yang Xing came over. He brought news of the repair of the warship. Although, only four ships were repaired.
But these four warships are afraid that they will be invincible at sea. The warships are all covered with iron sheets. Since they collide with enemy ships, they will only crash the enemy ships and not suffer much damage themselves.
The artillery on the warship is no longer a small-caliber cannon like a mountain cannon, but has been replaced by a large-caliber cannon. This kind of cannon can almost destroy a warship with one shot.
The bombs used are not solid bombs, but deflagration bombs, which will not only explode, but also set off a raging fire in a short period of time. You must know that all current warships are made of wooden structures. This kind of cannonball can be said to be a devastating blow to warships.
Cannonballs like the Hebrews will not pose any great threat to the four repaired warships. After all, the Hebrews do not yet have the technology to create explosive bombs, solid live ammunition, or even iron armor on the hulls. It can't even be blasted.
After getting the news, Yunze knew he could take action. However, I just don't know how prepared Feng Batian is.
Just after Yunze sent Yang Xing away, Feng Siniang and Feng Yujiao came over, and the two women brought a lot of wine and food. During this time, they had been accompanying Yunze almost all the time.
Feng Yujiao and Feng Siniang always pester Yunze and ask him to teach them how to use pistols. Of course, they mostly wanted to spend more time with Yunze.
Moreover, Yunze's occasional poems or occasional talents revealed gave the two women a new understanding of Yunze unknowingly.
What surprised the two women the most was that Yunze could also play musical instruments. He and the two women played together with a smile that was still fresh in their memories. From time to time, I will perform with Yun Ze.
Today, the two girls wanted to play with Yunze again, but Feng Batian came over.
Three thousand elite soldiers have been trained, and the artillery has been installed on more than 20 of the ships. Now, he just wanted to ask Yunze if it was time to go on an expedition next.
Feng Yujiao and Feng Siniang felt a little pity, but they knew that the next thing was the most important. Feng Batian told Yunze his intentions.
Since the failure of the last attack, the Sea Lion Gang and the Flying Fish Party did not dare to attack Black Wind Island for a while, but they did not give up and found the island where the Hebrews were.
Maral and Rohans were shocked and suspicious after learning that Yunze was supporting Black Wind Island. Finally, at the request of Seal, the leader of the Sea Lion Gang, and Yu Cheng, the leader of the Feiyu Party, they decided to equip them with artillery.
During this time, they were installing artillery on Shengzhou Island. The ships of the two major pirate forces were all on Shengzhou Island.
After Feng Batian got the news, he wanted to take more than fifty warships under his command to directly attack Shengzhou Island, but he still had some hesitation in his heart.
He wanted to solve all the troubles in one fell swoop and eliminate the two pirate groups and the Hebrews. But the problem was that the Hebrews had more than thirty warships, plus the two pirate groups' sixty With the combat power of more than 50 warships, it may be difficult. If Yunze hadn't changed the equipment for his warship, Feng Ba would not have dared to risk all his family wealth at once.
The reason why he came to ask Yunze now was to see if Yunze had any backup plan. After all, Yunze could defeat the Jin people and become famous in China. He definitely couldn't be an ordinary person.
Yunze looked at Feng Batian, his eyes showing deep contemplation as he was thinking about the feasibility of the matter. The current situation is indeed the best time to catch all the enemies in one fell swoop.
But the key problem is that the opponent's combat power is extremely strong, and it is really not easy to deal with them at once. But it's not impossible.
If we can land on Shengzhou Island, it will be possible to completely eliminate the enemy on Shengzhou Island. After thinking about it, Yunze nodded and said to Feng Batian:
"Okay... let's do it... you lead all the warships and prepare to attack. I will send warships to assist you. In addition, I will send troops to land for combat."
When Feng Batian heard this, he met Yunze's indifferent gaze and nodded. Yunze sent Feng Batian away and asked Yang Xing to be found.
"You send someone back to tell Pengju that you will send 10,000 elite soldiers, and then find nearby fishermen to build boats, and send 10,000 elite soldiers to the outskirts of Shengzhou Island. When the naval battle begins, you will find an opportunity to land from the other side. Capture the entire island at extremely fast speed! Whether we can win this battle depends on Pengju!"
He patted Yang Xing on the shoulder with a cautious look. Yang Xing nodded heavily after hearing this, and he sent someone to deliver the letter overnight.
At the same time, Feng Batian also started preparations. The army was preparing to set off the next morning. It would take almost a day to reach the location of Shengzhou Island.
Starting from the departure of all the warships from Black Wind Island, this battle has completely begun. Whether we win or not, and whether we can open up the trade routes here, all depends on this battle.
