Iron Dynasty

The calm sea is like a blue mirror. Under the golden sunlight, the mirror seems to have countless golden carps swimming.

The gentle sea breeze brought a hint of salty smell belonging to the sea, Yue Yun and Liu Chen commanded the battleship to go up the wind.

The white seagulls hovered over the battleship, unaware that a war was imminent.

After leaving the pier, the pirate's battleship suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision. At this time, Liu Chen picked up the binoculars and looked over. Now the two sides were only three or four miles apart. With the help of the binoculars, he could clearly see the personnel on the Japanese warship. .

General, it's Sakai and Hu Hai. Liu Chen said.

As expected, Hu Hai was not captured that day, which is a hidden danger. Yue Yun also picked up the binoculars to investigate.

Among the battleships that came to the Three Mountains Kingdom this time, there were not many Atakuya ships. It seemed that there were only more than 30 ships. In his opinion, the other battleships were not called battleships at all. Strictly speaking, they were just transformed merchant ships.

At this time, there were many people dressed as Japanese samurai standing on these merchant ships, and in addition, there were pirates dressed as soldiers of the Sanshan Kingdom.

However, when Yue Yun saw the last boat in the fleet, his expression suddenly changed.

Liu Chen also seemed to have noticed something. He said, This time they brought a fire attack ship.

These Japanese pirates seem to have learned to be smart. Yue Yun's face was a little dignified. These fire attack ships were all small boats, which were ignited by two or three battleships that rushed into the place. There were even explosive barrels on some fire attack ships. , If you are stuck by this kind of fire attack ship, it will be very troublesome.

Sometimes this kind of fire attack ship doesn't even need to be manned by humans, just drifting down the wind and entering the local battleship group to cause damage.

After pondering for a moment, he said: Now that we are in the upwind direction, you immediately direct the fleet to carry out a T-rush operation to prevent them from moving upwind. Yes, General. Liu Chen said in a deep voice.

They take every sea battle seriously, and although they are confident, they are not arrogant.

Two hundred and thirty-six ships! Yue Yun counted the number of Sakai and Huhai battleships. If this batch of battleships could be wiped out this time, he believed that there were very few incidents of Japanese pirates attacking merchant ships at sea.

Because it is these pirates who are very active at sea now.

And this time, they had a total of 24 warships staying in the Three Mountains Kingdom. In addition to one second-class sailing warship, there were also 23 third-class warships.

Now the focus of shipbuilding is this kind of warship, because compared with large warships, the third-level warships are more balanced in flexibility and speed, and the speed of sailing at sea is much higher than that of the Japanese Yasaka ships. As long as they are pegged, these Japanese warships are Can't run away.

More than 20 warships appeared on the sea, and Sakai and Hu Hai fell into shock at the same time.

How is this possible! Hu Hai looked at the sudden appearance of the Qingzhou Fleet as if a basin of cold water had been drenched on its head.

In the past six months, he has often sent people to the dock to investigate, and each time there are only three warships docked at the dock.

When the Japanese get the battleship, they will cooperate with him to attack the bastion and completely drive the army of King Qi out of the Three Mountains Kingdom.

Sakai's face was extremely gloomy, You traitor! You must have betrayed us to claim credit to King Qi and let their fleet ambush us here.

Lord Sakai, it's absolutely impossible, I can't betray you. Hu Hai was also a little flustered at this time.

During this period of time, they had fought against Qingzhou warships many times at sea, but the speed, firepower, and flexibility of Qingzhou warships were much higher than their warships.

Every time they attacked a merchant ship and were discovered, there was only one fate, that is, they were sunk by the artillery fire of the Qingzhou battleship.

It is precisely for this reason that Sakai is angry, because now the distance is so close, more than 200 warships can't turn around in time, which can't help but remind him that this is a trap.

Really? In this case, you will lead your fleet to stop them now. Sakai said angrily, he would not foolishly engage in battle with the Qingzhou battleship at sea now.

Hu Hai's face suddenly turned pale, he took a step back, and also remembered the horror of the Qingzhou battleship half a year ago.

Hehe, I knew that you betrayed us. Now you have two choices. Either take your people to attack now, or I will kill you with my own hands. Which one do you choose?

Sakai, I didn't betray you, you can't treat me like this! At this moment, the two Japanese soldiers grabbed Hu Hai, and Hu Hai's face suddenly turned pale.

Everyone will say, you don't even want a chance to prove your innocence now, how can I trust you. Sakai said, and then he gave the two soldiers a look.

The two soldiers immediately escorted Hu Hai to the bow of the ship, and he drew out the bushido and was ready to take out his sword and fall.

Hu Hai was finally desperate, and he begged for mercy: I'll go, I'll go!

Hearing this, Sakai showed a satisfied smile and said, If you make this decision earlier, you won't have to suffer.

Hu Hai's face was cloudy and uncertain, and it was only then that he realized that the daimyo of Sakai and Japan never regarded him as a human being. In their eyes, he was just a dog.

Despite the sadness in his heart, he still let his fleet rush towards the Qingzhou battleship. Yue Yun has been observing them. The movements of the two on the ship also fell into his eyes. The chaos on the ship only lasted for a while and then ended, and then He saw some warships moving in his direction.

Yue Yun was a little strange and didn't understand what was going on, but he just thought about it and stopped thinking about it. At this time, the battleship commanded by Liu Chen had slowed down, and it was ready to engage in battle.

Sure enough, the battleship began to turn in a short while, and the side of the battleship turned towards Huhai's fleet. Because the Huhai fleet had too many fleets, Liu Chen did not dare to risk the battleship getting too close, otherwise once Huhai's battleship approached the battleship, they would There will be countless ways to deal with his ships.

Once in contact at that time, the sailors of the other side will jump into the sea and use chiseling and burning on their warships. In the past, when they fought at sea, they all suffered from these despicable methods by Japanese pirates.

And the most important thing is that this time Xiao Ming is on the island, it is even more impossible for him to take this risk.

This time, Liu Chen's battleship was divided into three groups. He led the central army. While he was preparing, the left and right fleets flanked the flanks of the pirate battleship.

They were ready to break the retreat of the pirate warship and annihilate the enemy in one go.

Now their duty is to compete for sea power, and the opportunity to destroy the vitality of the Japanese must not be missed.

Hu Hai and Sakai stood on the bow and looked at the Qingzhou battleship that was turning more and more ugly. They understood that this was a sign that the Qingzhou battleship was ready to fire.
