Great Song Pirate

Chapter 485 Yonaguni Island
The fleet soon arrived outside Jilong Bay. The sentinel boats here had discovered their frighteningly large fleet a long time ago, but luckily it was their own fleet, so they immediately headed for the shore information.

Many people didn't know the route of the fleet's itinerary. They didn't expect that the expedition fleet would pass outside the chicken cage village. As soon as they got the news, they rushed towards the shore one after another, pointing their toes and vying to look far away. After they saw this extremely majestic fleet, they also cheered loudly on the shore, cheering for their own fleet.

Xu Yi put on the armor again and stood on the ship tower, because he knew that Yingchun and the others would definitely be here waiting for his fleet to appear!In order to live up to their love, Xu Yi had to endure this torment again, standing upright on the ship building sweating profusely, accepting the worship of the soldiers and civilians in the distance.

Under Xu Yi's command, the fleet formed a file formation and passed outside Jilong Bay. Anyone who is not blind can see his figure on the crossbar. Xu Yi also tried his best to use his binoculars to patrol the shore , when his eyes fell on the most prominent coast, he finally found the figures he had been searching for, so he put down the binoculars, raised his hand, and waved vigorously towards them.

"Xu Lang saw us! Look, he is waving for us!" Yingchun's eyesight is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people, and she was the first to spot Xu Yi's movements, and shouted to Yiqing and others beside her.

Yiqing and the others also immediately saw Xu Yi's actions. Although there were tens of thousands of soldiers in the fleet standing upright on the side of the ship to accept the cheers from the people here, and beckoning to answer, they wanted to find Xu Yi among them. It's really not a difficult task, who made the Zongheng the largest ship in the fleet, and everyone in the fleet was dressed in black and black armor, only Xu Yi was different, wearing such an attractive golden helmet He has a golden armor, so he can be found among the crowd at a glance without any effort.

Yiqing couldn't help admiring her decision to obey orders. If it wasn't for her idea, it would be really not easy to see Xu Yi from such a long distance. Now she feels that she has a lot of face!
A few people didn't care about being dignified or reserved, let alone the image of their mistress. They stood on the shore and cheered, shouting at Xu Yi. This move would inevitably attract the same jumping not far away. The cheering soldiers and civilians looked sideways, but everyone didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, because their current status was as the wives of a soldier who was going to war, not some high-ranking mistress. It was more real and closer to the hearts of the people, so more people joined in the cheers.

How much Xu Yi wished that the ship would stop just like this, so that he could take a few more glances, and the people on the ship seemed to feel Xu Yi's wish, and secretly lowered the sails a little to slow down the speed of the ship. Quite a few, allowing Xu Yi and the brothers on board to see the relatives here a few more times.

The officers and soldiers on the ship also waved vigorously towards the shore to express their gratitude to those who saw them off. In this way, the large group of ships sailed slowly across Jilong Bay and headed towards the east of Liuqiu Island. After descending, but still moving, Xu Yi also followed the movement of the ship, slowly moving above the ship building, and kept facing Yingchun and the others standing on the shore until their figures changed in the eyes. Getting smaller and smaller until they slowly disappeared from sight.

The fleet passed the chicken cage village without any stop, and sailed directly to the east of the chicken cage village, gradually left the shore, and reorganized the team to spread out towards the two wings to form a wild goose formation. After Xu Yi calmed down, He took off the armor, returned to the ship tower, and discussed the exact itinerary with Sun Hai.

After the fleet sailed away from Liuqiu Island, there were no land signs to refer to. In addition, only Xu Yi drew a rough sea chart based on his previous memory in their hands, and everything depended on their ships. The compass, compass and star board carried on it, as well as the sun and astrology are used to locate the position of the ship. Xu Yi also thought about making a sextant, but the materials at hand are limited, so he has not completed it until now. This long voyage is also a new test for them. Their fleet must pass through an unknown sea area and explore the Ryukyu Islands that have existed in the sea but have never been to them. This is a very risky technical activity. , For such a huge sea, under the current technical conditions, it is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack if you want to find a small island hanging alone in the sea.

But Xu Yi is not too worried about this matter. After all, it is the first month of the month, and the wind and waves on the sea are far less violent than the summer monsoon. Even if you really can’t find the Ryukyu Islands, as long as you keep facing the northeast direction, you can still find the Wa country. , but he still relied on his own memory to command the fleet to leave Liuqiu Island and keep heading east, hoping to find Yonaguni Island, the southernmost of the Ryukyu Islands in his memory, as long as he found this island. , the road ahead will be much easier. Originally, he could have chosen to go in the direction of the Diaoyu Islands, but in the end, considering the problem of land supply, he finally chose to take this road.

"Order the fleet to disperse, keep the distance between the ships within sight, and march in a geese formation!" Xu Yi ordered after calculating the distance from Liuqiu Island.

According to Xu Yi's memory, Naguni Island is at the southernmost tip of the Ryukyu Islands, and the straight-line distance from Liuqiu Island is only a little over two hundred miles. It was within the range of Yonaguni Island, so Xu Yi gave the order to disperse the fleet, hoping to use the fishing net to comb the sea surface like a comb, and it is best not to miss this small island.

The fleet dispersed immediately according to his instructions, keeping each boat within two miles. After more than 100 boats dispersed, the huge net pulled out was not ordinary. Just expanding the fleet, Let them take a lot of effort.

Perhaps because of Xu Yi's good luck, God or the Buddha seems to have been taking care of him, a guy who was discarded by modern society to ancient times. After they went through some progress, they finally came from the right side of the fleet After hearing the news and the semaphore was transmitted to the crossbar, Xu Yi finally became happy.

Hard work pays off, at least it proves that the direction he chose this time and the direction of the fleet did not deviate greatly. Fortunately, his fleet is huge, otherwise, with just a few ships, it may not be possible to find him. Get this little island in the middle of the ocean.

"Order the fleet to turn around and head for that small island!" Xu Yi immediately ordered Sun Hai.

"Decree! There are all ships in the fleet, collectively turn to the southeast, and sail with the wind!" Sun Hai faithfully carried out Xu Yi's order, and according to his request, he gave the order to the flag bearer.

After another period of sailing, a small island finally appeared in the sight of everyone. The small island is indeed not big. If it is converted into a modern area, it is about [-] to [-] square kilometers. From a distance, the island There is a hill in the east, and the whole island presents a mountainous terrain, covered in a piece of green, and the natural scenery is very beautiful. Xu Yi raised his binoculars and looked towards the island from a distance, but only saw his own fleet landing on the island, but No human habitation was found on this side of the coast.

"Let's go up, let's go to the island to see! According to what I heard from the old man, this island is rich in fresh water, let's see if there are any locals on this island first!" Xu Yi ordered.

When the Crossbar approached the coast on the west side of the island, the Fubo troops on the ships that had arrived earlier had already landed on the coast and spread out to tightly control the coast area.

As the Zongheng ship was too deep and there was no ready-made wharf to dock here, it had to anchor a certain distance from the shore and stop. Xu Yi ordered Sun Hai to stay on board and direct other ships to dock, while he waited for his relatives in Li Bo. Under the escort of Wei, he transferred to a large sampan and landed on the island.

"My lord! The general has already sent someone to search for it! Several broken small fishing boats were found on the shore, it seems that there were people living here, and a small abandoned fishing village was also found, but no residents were found here! "A captain who landed first saw Xu Yi landed on the island, so he hurried over to report.

Xu Yi frowned, thinking to himself, why is there no one here?It seems that there should be people living here before, and these broken ships and abandoned villages also indicate that there should be people here, so he immediately ordered the captain: "Send more people to find out the situation on the island as soon as possible. See if anyone is here!"

"The last general obeys orders!" The captain immediately ordered to turn around and run.

Soon the several sand boats following the Zongheng took advantage of their flat bottom and leaned directly on the beach. A group of infantry troops went down to the island, led by a battalion commander under Yang Zaixing. When they saw Xu Yi When standing on the shore, hurry up and salute.

"Don't be idle, take some people and go to the island separately to check to see if there is anyone here, and report back to me immediately if you have any news!" Xu Yi waved him to get up, and ordered him.

"A humble position is ordered!" The battalion commander immediately turned around and called his subordinates to split up.

Xu Yi hurriedly stopped him and explained again: "Brothers, please pay attention to safety. If someone is found, don't kill people if there is no conflict. Just bring them to see me! Go!"

(With emotion, today I accidentally looked at the number of words in my book, and suddenly fainted, and unknowingly exceeded 200 million, it is really worth celebrating! This is the result of my old waist in exchange I'm going to go out and run around the yard in tears!)
