Mao Wenlong's face was very ugly, and he felt like an outsider.
If you really become an outsider at this time, your fate can almost be foreseen.
Although Dongjiang Town is not as good as several other border towns in the Ming Dynasty, for someone like him who has no background in the military or as a general, there is no place more suitable for him than Dongjiang Town.
"Commander Commander, should we go to the shore to greet him?" Mao Dusi asked cautiously from the side.
Chen Zhong also looked at Mao Wenlong.
As the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, whether the other party goes to the shore to greet the Denglai navy depends on his thoughts.
"Go and prepare more ships, take Tieshan's soldiers and horses with me to Pi Island." Mao Wenlong was worried that Denglai Navy would take Pi Island alone, so he wanted to take over Pi Island before Denglai Navy completely captured it. He took Tieshan's soldiers and horses by boat and rushed to Pi Island.
"Yes." Chen Zhong nodded and turned to prepare.
In order to prepare for the attack of the army of slave thieves, Chen Zhong prepared many ships so that the officers and soldiers stationed in Tieshan could retreat to Pi Island smoothly.
However, the ones here in Tieshan are all small boats, even rafts. Although they cannot participate in battles between naval forces, they can be used to transport troops and land on beaches.
Mao Wenlong took Mao Dusi and a group of Tieshan officers and soldiers to the shore.
As soon as we approached the coast, we could see large ships of the Denglai Navy floating on the sea.
In Liaodong, only the navy is qualified to own such a large ship. Neither the slaves in Dongjiang Town nor Liaodong have the ability to build such a large ship.
"If I have a few big ships like this, the ships with the tiger flag will never get close to Pi Island." Mao Wenlong said enviously.
In the past, Dongjiang Town did not need any big ships to deal with slave thieves. As long as they guarded the coast, the slave thieves could not cross the sea between Pi Island and Pi Island.
Now the Tiger Flag has brought huge ships. The officers and soldiers on Pi Island can resist the slave thieves, but they cannot stop these big ships of the Tiger Flag.
"Commander Commander, there is something wrong with these Denglai Navy ships!" Mao Dusi looked at the Navy's warships on the sea and suddenly frowned.
Mao Wenlong turned to look at him and said, "What could be wrong? Could it be that these ships are fake tiger flags!"
The ships near the coast were flying the flag of the Denglai Navy, and their number far exceeded the number of the Tiger-flag warships that attacked Phi Island.
"I don't mean that, I just feel that these ships of the Denglai Navy don't seem to have won the battle. Commander, look at the mast on the ship on the left. The mast is broken." Mao Dusi pointed at a ship on the sea.
After hearing this, Mao Wenlong said disapprovingly: "We just had a battle at sea. It is normal for the mast to be broken on the ship."
To this day, he still thinks that the Denglai Navy defeated the ship with the Tiger Flag.
It's not that he thinks for the best, but there are dozens of ships of the Denglai Navy in front of him, several times more than the ships of the Tiger Flag. Even though the ships of the Tiger Flag are larger, they are not as good as those of the Denglai Navy. There are many ships.
Unless you are like Lao Nu, who relies on sneak attacks to destroy the Juehua Island naval warships docked in the harbor, as long as the navy is at sea, all conspiracies and tricks are useless. The only thing is which side has more ships.
"The Commander-in-Chief is right. Maybe his subordinates are overly worried." Mao Dusi laughed dryly.
The Denglai Navy dispatched so many warships, not only the ships in front of them, but also the other Denglai Navy ships on Pi Dao. There was no way the Denglai Navy could lose to the Tiger Flag.
At this time, several small boats were sailing towards the coast on the sea.
At this time, officers and soldiers from Tieshan had already arrived on the coast to guard the area.
"Let's go to the shore." Mao Wenlong took the lead and walked towards the shore.
When he reached the shore, Chen Zhong, who had been waiting here for a long time, said: "Commander Commander, the ship is ready. We only need to give the order to board the ship and go to Pi Island."
After hearing this, Mao Wenlong noticed that there were seven or eight wooden boats and several rafts docked in the sea not far from the shore where he was.

Naturally, these boats and rafts cannot be compared with the warships of Denglai Navy, but with these boats, they are enough to allow some of Tieshan's officers and soldiers to take boats to Pi Island.
"Let your people prepare first. After a while, the people of the Denglai Navy will go ashore. After I understand the situation on the island, I will personally take the people to the island." Mao Wenlong said.
While he was talking, several small boats sent by Denglai Navy approached the shore.
"Commander Commander, something is wrong. There seem to be a lot of wounded people on board." Mao Dusi noticed that many officers and soldiers on several small boats docked were obviously injured.
"Go over and have a look." Mao Wenlong said, and then walked over.
At this moment, the naval officers and soldiers on the ship got off the ship and walked ashore in water less than knee-deep.
"Are you from the Denglai Navy?" Even if he guessed the identities of these people, Mao Dusi still had to confirm them.
One of the leaders of the navy officers and soldiers who came ashore said: "The last general, Chen Luqing, was added to the Denglai Navy Qianhu, and I have met several generals."
"Where are your generals?" Mao Wenlong asked unhappily when he saw that the visitor was only from a thousand households.
Chen Luqing, who heard this, said with a sad face: "Our Denglai navy encountered an enemy fleet at sea and launched a fierce battle. The warship on which the general was riding was bombarded by enemy ships, and seventy-eight people including the general were attacked. Unfortunately, the navy officers and soldiers sank into the sea and their whereabouts are unknown."
hiss!
Mao Wenlong took a breath.
He knew very well what falling into the sea and missing meant.
"How is the fleet of the Tiger Flag? Have you attacked Shangpi Island?" Chen Zhong asked hurriedly about the situation of the Denglai Navy and the naval battle.
Even the commander of the Denglai Navy had an accident at sea, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
Chen Luqing said in a disappointed tone: "The general knows what the general wants to ask. This time, there are a total of 115 large and small ships coming to Dongjiang Town from Denglai, and now only less than half are left. The rest of the ships were either captured or sunk. The sea."
"So you are defeated?" Mao Wenlong, who asked this question, turned pale and was about to collapse to the ground in a flash.
Mao Dusi and his soldiers who were standing by saw him and hurriedly supported him with their hands.
"Failed." Chen Luqing's head drooped even lower.
Mao Wenlong broke away from the hands that were supporting him, looked at the other party with wide eyes, and muttered: "How could you be defeated? Didn't you come with more than a hundred warships? Even if seven or eight ships besieged an enemy ship, you shouldn't." Defeat!"
The news that the Denglai Navy was defeated was beyond his expectation, because he never thought that the Denglai Navy would be defeated.
"Commander Commander, calm down and listen to what he has to say first." Mao Dusi quickly comforted Mao Wenlong, then turned to Chen Luqing in front of him and asked, "Why don't you explain clearly how you were defeated?"
Any one of the three of them was of a higher rank than the Navy Master Qianhu in front of him. In addition, the Navy Master was newly defeated, so he was no longer polite when speaking to them.
