On a new day, after the newly formed navy of the Tang Dynasty had eaten and drank enough, Xu Yunyan ordered to set sail and rush to the location of the pirates in the west that he knew well.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Jiang Fangguo, who was next to Xu Yunyan, was also gearing up.
"This rice, which is comparable to gongmi, paired with cooked fish, is really delicious.
The food I ate with the general was more comfortable than what I had eaten in most of my life. "
Jiang Fangguo seemed to be playing tricks. He was talking about the good meat of Fuyu, and Xu Yunyan patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, you may be able to eat some unexpected food after this battle."
"ah?"
At this time, Jiang Fangguo did not react to what Xu Yunyan said, but he still accompanied Xu Yunyan, driving the battleship through the waves with great courage, heading towards an unknown island in the southeast.
After walking for a long time, I finally saw the island. This island stood out alone on the sea.
Who told this island to keep spewing thick smoke on the sea?
volcano?
This was Xu Yunyan's first impression, but the more Xu Yunyan moved forward, the more he discovered that this was not a volcano, but a lack of realization on the ship, and he failed to see the appearance of the entire island clearly.
Although we have a clear view of the sea, the distance between the island and the ship is still a bit far.
After getting closer, I finally saw clearly what was going on.
There were more than ten strange ships parked next to the island, and on the island, a large group of people were cutting down trees. The thick smoke was caused by them burning the unusable trees after cutting them down, and cooking food by the way.
Seeing those weird and playful ships, Jiang Fangguo smiled at his own ship.
"General, theirs are so small and their shapes are so weird."
"yes!"
He looked at Jiang Fangguo and nodded.
"The shape of their ship is very weird, and we have to guard against some of the weird things on their ship that may cause harm to us. It is best to be careful and don't be blindly arrogant."
As Xu Yunyan and the others moved forward towards the island, the pirates who came to the island also discovered a group of them, and then rushed towards the ships on the beach in a chaotic manner.
Pirates are not afraid of anything, let alone a big ship? If they win, doesn't it belong to them?
The pirates were ready to compete with them, but although they had many ships, they were too small. Even after they raised the sails from the ship, compared to the warships driven by sailboats based on Xu Yunyan's Ming treasure ship and some related experience, Their boats are like toys.
When they sailed out of the port and rushed up to Xu Yunyan's ship, one of these pirates, a man with a fair face and a thick beard and brown hair, was chattering.
Not only did he speak very harshly, he also waved the scimitar in his hand.
Looking at the group of people with similar attire and appearance next to the bearded man, they were here to match him, while the other Annan pirates who were controlled by them and who wanted to join them were shouting and shouting. While moving towards Xu Yunyan's ship.
If anyone can understand what they are saying, they will know that they have robbed their big ship. From now on, we will be invincible on this sea.
When this group of pirates rushed forward, what greeted them was not a sheep waiting to be slaughtered, but a water dragon armed to the teeth.
One after another, huge crossbow arrows were fired at these boats that were acting like toys.
The many Arabs who were standing on the boat and kept shouting, were pierced one after another like gourds under the attack of the Tang army with full firepower.
After the Tang army showed its power, these pirates were surprised.
"In the name of God, how could there be such terrifying force?"
But before they could react, the ship had already moved forward quickly and approached Xu Yunyan's ship. They thought that after escaping this deadly crossbow, they could still take advantage of the close combat.
But what they didn't expect was that as soon as they got close to the ship, one after another huge racket poles came down from the boat and slapped the closest toy boat into two sections from the middle.
This completely surprised the pirates.
"No! Has Allah abandoned us? I don't believe it!"
Although it refreshed the three views, there are still pirates who know how powerful this thing is.
The bearded Arab was shouting here.
"Retreat, retreat! In the name of God, we have encountered such a terrible enemy. Is this going to make us extinct? No matter what, we have to go back alive. Retreat quickly. As I return to the island, we are with him on the island. Top spin."
As Big Beard shouted, his ship quickly retreated backwards. Although it was the first ship to rush out, it was clever that it was the slowest and the furthest away from Xu Yunyan's ship. The closest to the island.
After he spoke, the pirates in the suit flew backwards with their arms and legs, and then the other pirates seemed to react and began to fly backwards following his footsteps.
But his withdrawal made Xu Yunyan and the others a living target.
The crossbows on the five warships kept firing crossbow arrows, and occasionally some trebuchets threw stones used for breeding on the ship to attack these pirates.
This suddenly made these pirates feel miserable.
"In the name of God, where did this powerful navy army come from? Why have we never heard of it? Is it an army sent down by God because we have done so many evil things during this period?" And although those Annan pirates are here I have never seen a Tang Dynasty navy officer at sea, but I have seen the appearance of this Tang man.
"It's from Tang Dynasty."
"How could the Tang people have such powerful naval warships? Impossible, impossible!"
"Yes, I have been dealing with the Tang people. Their ships are the same size as ours, but their appearance is different. How could it be like this? How could it be like this? Could it be that the navy from the north of the Tang army came to resist the attack from the north? Impossible. ah!"
Just when these pirates were thinking this, the deadly arrow did not give them a chance to think. Instead, it shot at their ship more sharply.
This was considered the first actual combat. The Tang Army on the ship was a little in a hurry at first, but after gradually entering the state, the combat efficiency was so high.
The next three ships were quickly destroyed, and all the people on board were thrown into the water, leaving them struggling there.
The remaining ships followed the Arab bearded man and quickly approached the island where the Arabs went.
After they landed on the island, they quickly rushed towards the woods. There was also their temporary camp in the woods, and there were many people in the temporary camp.
After these people saw their compatriots retreating, they rushed to the shore with weapons and were with them, ready to resist the sailors who came off the boats.
In their impression, you are powerful in water combat, but do you still have the same combat power on land?
Just when they were naked, holding different tools in their hands, shouting loudly, and preparing to attack the Tang troops who were disembarking and trying to land on the beach, Xu Yunyan had already begun to wave the flag, and many Tang troops boarded the small boats from the huge ship. , like ants, started to move towards the shore.
Seeing these many small boats coming to the water around their waists, many Tang soldiers jumped out and rushed towards the shore with flowing water. These little minions were frightened.
But those Arab bearded men were even more frightened.
"Where did this army come from? Why is it so well-trained?"
Even if the Tang army jumped into the water and disrupted their formation, they could quickly gather into a small group and move forward in a standard Tang army formation.
When they arrived on the shore, the formation of more than a thousand Tang soldiers was so majestic that the pirates were trembling with fear.
Those pirates are not easy people. Although they are scared here, they are used to the life of licking blood with their swords. How could they be frightened by the appearance of Tang Jun in front of them?
The bearded man yelled, "Young men, God bless us, follow me and charge! Only by defeating them will we have a way to survive. Otherwise, how can we survive under their blades?"
Just as the bearded Arab shouted and took the lead in the charge, the Tang army also began to advance forward in the standard Tang army formation.
