Chapter 207 The First Large-Scale Battle At Sea [6/7]
June 28th of the first year of the matrix.
Near East Island surrounding waters.
A lucky ship of the Yanyun Port Navy is sailing on the sea, warning.
"Master Captain, a fleet is coming to us in the northeast direction!"
On the watchtower of Fuchuan's mast, a soldier shouted downwards.
"What scale!?"
The captain of Fuchuan asked immediately.
"There are many, some of them are too many to count, at least a hundred or more, and they should be the pirate fleet of the Black Sea Islands."
The watchman squinted his eyes, kept looking at the fleet that appeared on the sea level in the distance, and then shouted down.
"More than a hundred ships, the target should be determined."
The captain of Fuchuan nodded, and he said: "Let's return and inform the fleet that the enemy has arrived."
Following the captain's order, the sailors on board began to turn the rudder, and the entire Fuchuan changed direction, drawing an almost semicircular circle on the sea, sailing towards Yanyun Port.
After receiving the early warning notice, the Yanyun Navy, who had arrived at Yanyun Port from the naval base, set off immediately.
Now the 11 Yanyun Port Navy has a total of 25 warships.
One Galen sailing battleship, two Galen sailing warships, and seventeen blessing ships.
There are five other pirate ships, those five pirate ships were taken away by Chen Ming before, and rushed to the Black Sea Islands to act as internal response, during which ten pirate ships responded to the letter.
The ten fuchuan that were under construction were also completed around June 15th, and after ten days of launching trials, they were confirmed to be ready for use.
Now there are nearly 4,000 soldiers in the Yanyun Navy.
Now Su Chen has twenty-one ships at his disposal.
At the same time, he also made some other decorations on the pirate ship in the fleet, painted some dyes, so that the people in the fleet could not recognize that this ship was a ship that had been to the Black Sea Islands before.
This is just in case, after all, the four ships led by Chen Ming were disguised as pirates and sneaked into the enemy's team.
"finally come."
Su Chen was wearing a heavy light armor, with his right arm clamping the black-feathered phoenix-wing helmet around his waist, looking at the black dots gradually appearing on the endless sea horizon.
"Yanyun Navy, all out, don't leave ships in the port, let them attack!"
"Jiazi Legion, Prisoner Cattle Legion, take your positions, get ready to fight!"
Su Chen turned around and drank loudly.
"Hahaha, I've been prepared for a long time, I haven't chopped up people from the sea yet, and I don't know what's different about chopping.
Su Kui was wearing heavy armor, holding the heavy Guan Dao with both hands and lifting it up and down a few times as if lifting weights, and let out a rough laugh.
The layers of iron armor leaves on his body made a metallic friction sound.
"My lord, as long as they dare to land, they will know that our Zhuge Liannu is not just for display.
Zhenlong also sneered, and he patted a Zhuge Liannu fixed fort next to him.
In front of Su Chen, a Yanyun sergeant in top helmet and armor began to take their positions. They all took out their bows, arrows and crossbows in unison.
There are also many people carrying baskets of arrows that have been prepared for placement.
Hong Kong[three landing places, all of which were fired from fixed Zhuge crossbow forts and small catapults.
A sergeant named Yanyun, who was wearing exactly the same armor, ran back and forth, carrying arrows, stones, fire oil tanks and other defensive materials.
On these defensive positions of the Yanyun sergeants, there are also pieces of wood boards buried as simple sheltering walls.
There are gaps in these wooden boards, or some places do not erect wooden boards, and the gaps are deliberately exposed.
These are the shooting ports used by Yanyun sergeants for archery.
Two thousand Sergeant Yazi and one thousand Prisoner Cattle were ready and entered their respective defensive areas.
The twenty-one warships currently available to the Yanyun Navy also left the port.
A series of white sails spread out on the sea level. Twenty-one warships were of different sizes, but most of them were Fuchuan. The enemy ships that are constantly enlarging on the sea level in front of them are eager to try and gear up one by one.
On the galleon sailing battleship, Youzhou, under the huge white sail, as the minister of the navy, Zheng Yun, the captain of Youzhou named after the warship, stood on the bow deck.
He looked at a naval soldier standing on the lower deck who was eager to fight, and looked at the faces of each of them. There were Han people from Kyushu, some from Yin'an, and many Yanyun Saxon whites.
They have different expressions, some are excited, some are nervous, but they are not afraid.
Zheng Yun nodded in satisfaction, and asked loudly, "Are you all ready?"
"Ready! Ready to fight anytime!"
All the sailors shouted in unison.
"Okay, then, let us teach these lifeless pirates a lesson."
"When we got close to them for half a nautical mile, we all started to turn around, and all the warships faced the enemy sideways. When they approached, the Zhuge Liannu and Catapult 383 machines on the warships all fired, and then obeyed the orders and started to move in unison! "
"Compared with them, our warships are faster and bigger. We can be faster, so fast that they can't catch up with us. We can also shoot more arrows, stones, and fire than the enemy imagined. The tanks were all projected on their heads."
"We want them to know that if they dare to attack our Yanyun Port, they will kill themselves!"
Accompanied by Zheng Yun's pre-war mobilization, twenty-one warships were lined up, riding the wind and waves to keep moving forward.
Countless and dense white sails were blown by the sea wind, and they were huge.
Viewed from the side, it looks like a half ellipse.
As the distance between the fleets of the two sides approached, Zheng Yun also began to order the fleets to adjust their formations, making a formation that would allow them to move in another direction after a round of attacks.
At this time, the enemy's fleet began to furl its sails, slow down, and almost stopped half a nautical mile away.
At this time, a small boat separated from the densely packed ships ahead, and began to move towards the fleet of the Yanyun Navy.
"What is this doing?"
Zheng Yun frowned. Do these pirates still have the rule of sending someone to pass the message before starting a fight? This is not like a pirate. .
