Thirty miles east of Pengdao, the Ryukyu fleet rushed towards them.
This time it was apparently the Three-Eyed Tiger who led the team, but in fact the person in charge was a general of the Tokugawa family.
His name was Kiryu Ichiryu, and he was a famous naval war general in Fuso. He made great contributions to the Tokugawa family in the disputes between various countries in Fuso.
In the early years, I went to Nanyang and learned navigation skills from the Hongyi people, and I have a lot of experience in naval warfare.
The last time, Tanaka Haruko was defeated, and the Tokugawa family leader specially transferred him. The purpose was to stabilize Ryukyu's coastal defense, accumulate strength, and attack Daxia.
This is a millennium event for the Tokugawa family and even the entire Fuso Kingdom.
Once the fertile soil of the Central Plains is captured, the Fusang people will no longer have to worry about the damage caused by earthquakes all day long.
In Kazuma Kiryu's view, the reason for Tanaka Haruko's defeat last time was that they didn't understand tactics. A naval battle is not a land battle. There are too many factors to consider.
Sea conditions, wind direction, and capturing enemy movements.
Therefore, as soon as Kazuma Kiryu took over the Ryukyu Navy, he made many targeted technical improvements.
The first step is to reinforce the hull and lay iron sheets on the Shenlong ship.
The second step is to improve the sails, from the original triangular sail to a right-angle sail, so that the boat can have certain maneuverability when the wind is against the wind.
Finally, there is the training of professional naval personnel, gunners, oarsmen, helmsmen, and frogmen...
With these, Kiryu Yilong believes that even if he encounters Tanaka Haruko's mysterious armored ship, he will be able to fight.
"Lord Ichiryu, there is a fishing boat heading towards us from the southeast. The boat is flying the flag of the Tokugawa family. It seems to have escaped from Pengdao."
Kiryu Yilong's eyes narrowed: "The entire ship is on alert and frogmen are sent to verify the situation."
"Yes, sir!"
…
On the sea, Kazuma Kiryu was shaking the oar. Suddenly, several frogmen jumped out of the water. Kazuma Kiryu hurriedly revealed his identity.
"I am Kazuma Kiryu of the Kiryu family. Admiral Ryukyu is my brother. I have important information to convey."
All the frogmen looked at each other: "Take it away!"
…
Not long after, Kiryu was lying on the ground on the Ryukyu flagship, his body trembling, and in front of him was a short sword used for seppuku.
"Excuse me!"
Kazuma Kiryu burst into tears: "Brother, I don't want to die, I want to avenge the version."
Kiryu Yilong's eyes were slightly cold: "There are no deserters in the Kiryu family!"
Kazuma Kiryu picked up the knife and took off his shirt tremblingly, preparing to commit seppuku and commit suicide. No one in the audience could stop him.
Even from the beginning to the end, Kiryu Kazuma did not blink an eye. It was not until Kiryu Kazuma vomited blood and fell that Kiryu Kazuma slowly turned around and glanced at his biological brother.
"Ichima has gone to the Kingdom of God to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor."
"According to Yima's intelligence, the enemy has an armored ship and several large ships. Gentlemen, how do you think this battle should be fought?"
Everyone was talking.
"With the courage to win, attack!"
"Avenge Kiryu Kazuma!"
"Blast with cannon."
"..."
Kiryu Kazuma shook his head. They were a group of reckless men. The army needs reckless men, but they cannot all be reckless.
He moved his gaze towards the three-eyed tiger: "General Tiger, what do you think?"
The Three-Eyed Tiger straightened his body instantly. He was a pirate and felt he was cruel enough, but he still couldn't do anything like forcing his own brother to death.
Of course, maybe this is due to different values, but this also shocked the Three-Eyed Tiger a little.
He didn't dare to offend these princes who could kill him at any time.
"A certain family obeys Master Yilong's orders."
Kiryu Yilong smiled and said: "You are the main general, we are just assisting General Tiger."
The three-eyed tiger's heart sank. The opponent said that winning the battle had nothing to do with him, but if he lost, he might be blamed.
With the Fuso people's urinary attitude towards their subordinates, would I also be forced to commit seppuku?
The three-eyed tiger shook his head. He came to Fusang for glory and wealth, and to break through the realm of master, not to die.
Fortunately, during this period of time, he thought hard and found a way to deal with Qin Yun.
"Since Mr. Yilong has said so, then a certain family has made a fool of themselves."
"According to the information sent back from Qiongzhou, Qin Yun owns a black ship that can move quickly without relying on oars or sails. This ship is extremely fast and is convenient for penetration."
"But there are also weaknesses!"
"Oh, tell me what your weakness is?"
The three-eyed tiger pondered: "That's because it's not big enough, and it's extremely difficult to build. There won't be too many of them."
"In addition, the opponent is attacking over a long distance, so ammunition supply is a big problem."
"So, against the Qiongzhou Navy, we should attack steadily, plan slowly, and focus on consuming the opponent's ammunition. Therefore, we can send some fake warships to take advantage of the morning fog to besiege Pengzhou and consume the opponent's ammunition. Later, when we have a large army, we will be able to capture him!"
Kiryu Yilong smiled and said: "General Tiger is indeed quite insightful. In this case, let General Tiger execute it."
"Come here, mobilize the Ryukyu fishing boats and ask them to follow General Tiger to clear the way."
The three-eyed tiger's face darkened. He wished he could give himself a big mouth and come up with some bad ideas.
…
At the same time, Bai Feiyang, Tieshuan and others also launched deployments in accordance with Qin Yun's requirements to eliminate the enemy's effective forces.
However, in the vast sea, they did not know where the fleet supported by Ryukyu had arrived, so they could only send fishing boats to check for information.
However, when the fishing boat arranged by Bai Feiyang approached Ryukyu Island, they were immediately caught. At first, they thought their identities were exposed, but they did not expect that these people directly recruited them to join the war.
"Company commander, what should we do?"
A company commander named Zhao under Bai Feiyang looked around at the people in the cabin.
His eyes darkened: "Everyone, I'm afraid this time we're going to be in trouble. I just heard a few Japanese talking. I'm afraid they're recruiting fishing boats to use our cannonballs."
Everyone's hearts sank: "Wouldn't that implicate innocent people? These dogs and beasts!"
A sergeant said: "Company Commander Zhao, we must not let them succeed!"
Company Commander Zhao pondered: "Yes, we must find a way to pass on the information."
Another sergeant frowned: "But we are all locked up, how can we pass it on?"
Captain Zhao: "Since they won't kill us, they need us to sail. Then we can just hang eye-catching signs on the ship."
"We have such a strange thing as a telescope."
"Fortunately, I wore red underwear. I didn't expect that they would come in handy."
Company Commander Zhao laughed loudly: "You kid~"
At this time, the voice of Ryukyu soldiers came from above.
"Why are you making such a fuss? If you disturb Taijun, I will drag you all out to feed the sharks."
Captain Zhao looked at the servants on the deck with cold eyes. No matter what dynasty, those who betray their comrades are the most hateful.
"Everyone, rest well and recharge your batteries."
"yes."
…
At night, heavy fog filled the air, and Captain Zhao and his men were allowed to come out of the cabin.
"Why are you standing there? Taijun has an order to sail the boat to Pengshui Bay. Each person will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver. You are the first batch. Hurry up."
Company Commander Zhao pretended to be excited: "Sir, do you really want to give us one hundred taels?"
The man snorted coldly: "Taijun speaks, and he keeps his word!"
At this time, a Japanese warrior stood up and spoke in half-baked Central Plains dialect.
"Bagya Road is yours, don't work nonsense with them!"
"Yes Yes!"
The puppet soldier nodded and bowed, and then said arrogantly to Captain Zhao and his party.
"Stop talking nonsense, Taijun is angry!"
Captain Zhao looked around and found that there were densely packed fishing boats all around. They were holding lanterns and slowly approaching the shore. There were only three Japanese warriors on their boat.
Company Commander Zhao winked at one of his deputies and motioned to the splint under his feet.
The deputy nodded.
"Taijun, I'll take the helm!"
The Japanese warrior nodded slightly.
But just when the deputy reached the stronger samurai, he suddenly got angry and punched him on the left side of the face.
"idiot!"
The samurai drew out his long sword and slashed at his neck, but at this moment, a gunshot sounded.
Captain Zhao took out the short spear given to him by Bai Feiyang from the deck, and the shot hit the Japanese warrior between the eyebrows.
The puppet soldier and translator was shocked when he saw this. He turned around and wanted to jump into the sea, but was kneeled down by another man on the deck.
The other two Japanese warriors also reacted, sounded the gong, and rushed forward with their swords.
Company Commander Zhao fired several shots and quickly eliminated several people.
"Quick, raise the sail!"
"Wait until I hang up my red underwear."
"It's useful, look for flares, send them, and they'll understand."
"Boom~~"
A signal flare shot up into the sky, Pengshui Bay deployed the Tiangong, and the observation post instantly noticed something strange.
"Report, battalion commander, our people are sending a signal five miles southeast."
Bai Feiyang went up to the three-story tower and took a look through the telescope.
"Three shots in a row, there's an emergency!"
"No, four rounds in a row, don't fire? What does this mean!"
"Report, a large number of strange ships have been spotted in the east, south and north directions. Do you want to fire?"
Bai Feiyang pondered for a while: "No, activate the Tiangong and keep the forts on the shore stationary."
"promise!"
…
In the situation room of the Qiongzhou, Qin Yun suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Your Majesty, Baiying is looking for that one. Battalion Commander Tieshuan has sent letters one after another. They are surrounded by fishing boats. Do you want to open fire?"
Qin Yun's eyes narrowed: "The Chinese, a group of inhumane beasts, actually want to consume our ammunition through such means."
"They must be among the fishing boats. Order, Tiezhuan, Bai Feiyang to abandon the ambush at sea and attack Ryukyu with high maneuverability."
"The Qiongzhou launches an attack to give the other ships a chance to evacuate."
Wang Menghu said in confusion: "Your Majesty, we can hardly attack Pengdao, why should we give it up to others?"
Qin Yun: "Pengdao seems important, but in fact it is a trap. The opponent's ship has many people. Once we are surrounded and without supplies, our army will be nothing but lambs to be slaughtered."
Chen Jin on the side nodded, as they had done before on Broadleaf Island.
Qin Yun muttered: "The advantage of an armored ship has never been in positional warfare, but in its maneuverability."
"This time, it's our turn to fight maritime guerrilla warfare."
"Wang Menghu, get ready. After assisting the ship in retreating, we will disembark midway and sneak into Ryukyu."
Liu Yulin was shocked: "My lord, you must not do it. A gentleman would not build a dangerous wall. You are a man of gold, so you must not put yourself in danger."
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Our intelligence on Ryukyu is almost a blank sheet of paper, and if we want to win Ryukyu at the minimum cost, we must find a way to break through from the inside."
"No need to persuade anymore, I know it well. After I leave, the Qiongzhou will be commanded by Liu Yulin and will be ready to respond at any time."
Chen Jin muttered: "My lord, I will go with you!"
Qin Yun nodded, Chen Jin's Qinggong was indeed of great use at this time.
"Wait a minute, which one of you can speak Japanese?"
Liu Yulin: "My lord, didn't you say that before?"
Qin Yun muttered: "I alone will definitely not be enough."
Chen Jin looked at Li Daiyu.
Li Daiyu looked at Qin Yun with burning eyes: "Husband, I seem to know a little bit!"
Qin Yun was speechless for a moment, can you yell a little better? Seamless switching on a large ship.
Anyway, she is also a good fighter.
"Okay, you should go with me, and take Robin with you."
"yes!"
