"Observe the wind direction and catch up."
Seeing that there was a chance to defeat the Ming Navy, Zheng Chao was not willing to let go of the navy in front of him easily, and immediately ordered the fleet to pursue the Ming Navy who wanted to retreat.
The ships of the Tiger Flag mainly use soft sails, and the speed at sea is faster than the hard sails used by the Ming Navy ships, unless the wind direction is not conducive to chasing enemy ships.
However, Zheng Chao was very lucky, and the wind direction was very suitable for the winning side to pursue.
The warships of the Tiger Flag hoisted their sails one after another, speeding up the speed of the warships on the sea.
However, the ships of the Ming Navy came with a favorable wind. If they wanted to escape from the battlefield on the sea, they had to sail against the wind. They did not have an advantage in speed, but the speed disadvantage became even greater when the wind was against them.
Woo! Woo!
Suddenly there was a whining sound on the sea, followed by the roar of ship cannons. The direction of the cannons was exactly the direction in which the Ming navy navy fled.
"Go and check what's going on?" The sudden sound of cannons made Zheng Chao murmur in his heart. Apart from their Tiger Flag ship and the Ming Navy, there were no other ships on the sea that he could remember. power.
The messenger ran away to ask about the flag soldiers on the watchtower.
After a while, I saw him running back excitedly and saying: "General, the commander has returned. The return path of the Ming Navy was blocked by the ship brought back by the commander."
"Send the order and speed up." Zheng Chao realized the good opportunity to annihilate the Ming Navy and immediately ordered his warships to approach the Ming Navy.
boom! boom! boom!
After the ships led by Zheng Chao caught up, they took an attacking stance, and ship cannons began to bombard the ships of the Ming Navy in front.
The naval commander of the Ming Dynasty, who was besieged at sea, no longer wanted to fight. He only wanted to escape from the sea and return to Denglai with his navy.
However, the direction to Denglai had been blocked, and the Ming navy commander had no choice but to take various ships to go around Phi Island and retreat towards Iron Mountain.
The Ming army had over a hundred ships, large and small, but less than half of them escaped. Most of them were injured and could not continue to fight at sea.
As the victorious side, the Tiger Flag warship began to salvage the naval officers and soldiers who fell into the sea at sea, and sent them to Phi Island together with the captured ships.
Not only the people on Phi Island could hear the sound of the naval battle, but Tieshan opposite Phi Island also heard the sound of cannons at sea that lasted for a long time.
"It's so damn unlucky that we can't even let people eat." Mao Wenlong spat fiercely on the ground.
Now everything Huziqi did on Pi Island made him feel uncomfortable.
Chen Zhong, dressed in armor, strode in from outside.
"Commander Commander, something is wrong. The sound of artillery does not sound like it is coming from Pi Island, it sounds more like it is coming from the sea!" Chen Zhong said with a frown.
After hearing this, Mao Wenlong's hand holding the chopsticks hung in the air, turned around and asked: "How long has it been since the news that the imperial court sent Denglai Navy to support us was sent?"
"The time is not short. Calculating the days, the Denglai Navy should be arriving soon." As soon as Chen Zhonggang finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Mao Wenlong in horror and said, "Could it be that the previous cannon fire was caused by the Denglai Navy and the Did the ship with the tiger flag come across at sea?"
Mao Wenlong turned to the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Don't worry, even if the Denglai Navy encounters a ship carrying the tiger flag, it's not certain who will win."
"Yes, yes, yes, since the imperial court sent the Denglai navy to deal with them, they must be sure. Maybe the navy has landed on Pi Island by now." Chen Zhong comforted himself.
Mao Wenlong asked: "Is there any movement on Pi Island?"
"We haven't found anything yet." Chen Zhong shook his head slightly and said, "I will send someone to take a boat to Pi Island to check the situation."
Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Go ahead and make arrangements. If Denglai Navy really arrives, find a way to contact them."
"I will make arrangements right now, General Mo." Chen Zhong promised, turned around and walked out.
If Denglai Navy really arrived, he would also want to know the outcome of the naval battle with the Tiger Flag warship.
"Commander Commander, the Denglai Navy doesn't pay much attention to our Dongjiang Town. Since we have already arrived, we should send someone to inform us first anyway, so that we can cooperate with our Dongjiang Town to regain Pidao." Mao Du Si picked up the wine pot and poured wine for Mao Wenlong while complaining about Denglai Navy.
Mao Wenlong picked up the wine glass and mocked himself: "Who told us that Dongjiang Town does not welcome visitors? There is no one in the court who speaks for Dongjiang Town. From the capital to Jiliao, everyone thinks that Dongjiang Town is a piece of fat. But Who knows the hardships I have endured for so many years."
He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"The eunuch party in the DPRK is now very powerful. How about we find a way to get rid of Jiu QianSui? I heard that Yuan Futai built a shrine to please Jiu QianSui." Mao Dusi said.
Mao Wenlong's mouth twitched when he heard this.
It costs a lot of money to build a living temple. Now Dongjiang Town has lost Pi Dao, and at the same time it has lost the wealth accumulated over the years. Not to mention building a living temple, even the soldiers and horses here in Tieshan can hardly support themselves.
Bang!
The door of the house was knocked open from the outside, and Chen Zhong, who had left not long ago, walked in quickly and said urgently: "Commander Commander, the Denglai Navy is here."
"where?"
When he heard that Denglai Navy had arrived, Mao Wenlong stood up abruptly from his seat.
Chen Zhong said: "We are approaching Tieshan. We have arranged for ships to go over to meet them. General Mo will come back first and report the news to the commander-in-chief."
"How many ships have come?" Mao Wenlong asked.
Chen Zhong said: "There are almost dozens of ships. The specific number will not be known until they dock."
"The Denglai Navy has more than just these ships, so why are there so few?" Mao Wenlong said in a somewhat unpleasant tone.
Mao Dusi on the side interjected: "The previous naval battle should have been a battle between the Denglai Navy and the Tiger Banner. Maybe the Denglai Navy detached some ships to go to Phi Island, preparing to capture Phi Island in one go. .”
"Hmph, the troops of the Tiger Flag on the island are not that easy to deal with. Without our help, the Denglai Navy will suffer." Mao Wenlong did not contact Dongjiang Town about the Denglai Navy and chose to deal with it alone. Pi Dao was dissatisfied with his troops.
Once Pi Dao is captured by Denglai Navy himself, his usefulness as the Lord of Dongjiang Town will be severely reduced in the eyes of the court, and he may even be held accountable and imprisoned by the court on the grounds that Pi Dao was lost from his hands.
Chen Zhong looked at Mao Wenlong and said: "The Tiger Flag's ships previously carried away part of the troops on the island. Now the Tiger Flag's troops on the island are no longer as good as they were at the beginning, and the number of ships is nearly half."
Although Mao Wenlong escaped from Pi Island, there were still secret messages passing between Tieshan and Pi Island. The fact that Zheng Tie left Pi Island with some warships and some soldiers was discovered by the people on Pi Island. The news reached Iron Mountain.
