Chapter 131: The Battle of Chenjiadao
Chenjia Island, 400,000 Fubo Army, and 2,400 large and small warships anchored in Tangdao Bay, waiting for the wind to set off.
Navy Supervisor Yu Yunwen sat on the edge of the deck and carved wooden statues with a knife.
The pirate Zheng Zhilong came over and said to Yu Yunwen, who was more like a civil servant: "I didn't expect you to know this thing."
Yu Yunwen's expression was calm: "The rainfall was slightly reduced, and a sentry should be sent to the sea for twenty or thirty miles to prevent it from being taken advantage of by the enemy."
"Now the north wind is in full swing. Even if the Jiangdong Navy goes north, it will still go against the wind, so there is no need to worry."
Zheng Zhilong disagreed.
The two most concerned points of the navy generals are the wind direction and water flow.
The side of the wind is often on the offensive.
The wood quickly turned into a lucky boat carving in Yu Yunwen's hands. Yu Yunwen stood up: "The wind direction here is unpredictable, so it's better to be careful."
"I'm going to patrol now."
Because Yu Yunwen is a military supervisor, and the generals who monitor the Fubo army can report to Chu Tian, Zheng Zhilong also has to obey the orders.
30 sentry ships left Chenjia Island and patrolled the outside world.
Zheng He is counting the losses caused by the hurricane.
"About 147 ships were sunk by wind and waves, and 2,000 soldiers and sailors died or disappeared."
Soon Zheng He learned about the ships and soldiers lost due to the storm.
The destructive power of a sea hurricane is much more than that.
If Zheng He's SS-level feature "Seven Trek to the West" was not Zheng He, the damage suffered by the fleet would decrease when he was stormed, otherwise the losses might be more.
"The Xia Palace said that as long as we defeat the Jiangdong Navy, each of us six main generals can get 10,000 taels of silver."
Chen Lin, a general who had joined the Fubo Army, was calculating how many rewards he could get.
Chu Tian treated the senior generals well and promised the six generals of Fubo Army that as long as they defeated the Jiangdong Navy, the six naval generals could get 60,000 taels of silver.
The Goryeo Navy General Lee Sun-chen fell into silence.
When the Goryeo Kingdom was destroyed, Li Shunchen became a subject of the Goryeo Protectorate.
The head of the thirty watchtowers patrolling the outside world is Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng was cautious, so he personally led the patrol ship.
The soldiers of Fubo were cleaning the deck and ropes.
"It is said that the head coach of the Jiangdong Navy is the King of Wu himself. He is confident of being the head coach, so it means that his ability is still above Zhou Yu?"
Xu Sheng had obtained information about the Jiangdong Navy. The person who served as the commander of the Jiangdong Navy was not Zhou Yu or Lu Meng, but the King of Wu Tongque.
Because Tongque is a player and knows the data of each general, he is not as tall as a hero and has to go on the battlefield even if he doesn't have the ability.
He personally served as the chief general of the Jiangdong Navy, and there is basically only one possibility, that is, the Tongque has a higher data bonus to the fleet.
"General, look!"
On the whistle, a navy soldier suddenly screamed in panic.
Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the sea level. A hard sail dozens of meters high appeared in Xu Sheng's sight.
"This is... Jiangdong Navy!"
“Reward the fleet immediately!”
Xu Sheng recognized the Jiangdong Navy's fleet at a glance.
In the waters near Chenjia Island, except for the Fubo Army, the only large warships that appeared may be ships of the Jiangdong Navy!
Xu Sheng's ship rose and smoked, notifying the surrounding sentry ships to retreat north!
The large and small ships of the Fubo Legion were resting on Chenjia Island, and Zheng He had already seen the whistle ship coming back with wolf smoke.
"Rise the anchor, set sail? Go to sea for a battle!"
As the head coach of the Fubo Army, Zheng He's opponent this time is a player lord with many naval combat characteristics.
The Jiangdong Navy is heading against the wind? If the Fubo army does not get as soon as possible, then the more than 2,000 warships anchored on Chenjia Island may be wiped out!
The 400,000 Fubo soldiers were extremely nervous, and the generals urged the sailors to put away the anchor and set sail.
"Quick? Quick!"
Zheng Zhilong kicked a dazed sailor.
A dozen sailors worked together to turn the winch and pulled the heavy iron anchor onto the deck.
"Zheng Zhilong? You lead a small fleet to block the enemy!"
Yu Yunwen ordered Zheng Zhilong to lead a small fleet of ships and boats to act as a vanguard to prevent the Jiangdong Navy from launching a fire attack.
Two thousand moored warships are crowded near Chenjia Island? If they encounter fire attacks from the Jiangdong Navy, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Brothers? Come with me!"
Zheng Zhilong jumped from the ply between the warships to a ship and took about two hundred small ships to meet the enemy.
Navy general Chen Lin summoned the Lingnan Navy soldiers he recruited, with only 7,000 people, but they were the source of troops in the south. Currently, the team of naval soldiers who are best at naval battles in the Fubo army.
For the reward promised by Chu Tian, Chen Lin assembled 7,000 Lingnan navy soldiers before the war with the Jiangdong Navy: "In this battle, no matter what, you must win. Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy! I will ask the Xia Palace for a reward, and everyone will be rewarded!"
Seven thousand Lingnan navy soldiers shouted in unison: "I wish to fight to the death!"
Chen Lin looked at the most elite team of troops under his command with satisfaction.
Suddenly, Chen Lin suddenly looked at the flags on the mast dozens of meters high and found that the flags were actually waving north.
"Wait, the wind direction seems to have changed..."
Chen Lin's face gradually paled.
During naval battles, I am most afraid of the change of wind direction.
The wind direction determines the offensive and defensive positions of both sides.
At this time, the Fubo army on Chenjia Island was located in the north and the Jiangdong Navy was located in the south.
During the north wind, the Fubo Army is located in the upper wind direction.
During the south wind, the Jiangdong Navy is located in the upper wind direction.
The wind direction changes simply, and the offense and defense are easy to move!
"Leave Chenjia Island as soon as possible!"
Zheng He, Yu Yunwen, Li Shunchen, and Chen Lin tried their best to urge all the navy soldiers to leave the increasingly dangerous waters of Chenjia Island.
The navy generals were very sensitive to changes in the wind direction and water flow. When they realized that the wind direction had changed, they immediately knew that Chenjia Island had become a dangerous place.
Chenjia Island is located in the Wind-Shelf Bay, which can avoid hurricanes at sea and reduce fleet losses. However, Wind-Shelf Bay means that this kind of terrain, once the opening is sealed, the ships in the Wind-Shelf Bay will be doomed.
During water wars, the defensive side is often at a disadvantage.
This is also why Zheng He, Chen Lin and others were eager to get rid of such an unfavorable situation after the Jiangdong Navy appeared.
Li Shunchen boarded the turtle ship as the second fleet to attack the Jiangdong Navy.
The turtle of the Goryeo Kingdom is about 30 meters long, like a huge black turtle.
Chu Tian smashed real gold and silver, so the turtle ship in Goryeo uses iron sheets and cowhide as the dome, which has strong defense.
The dragon head of the turtle ship faces southwest, and there are dozens of holes on each wooden board on both sides of the hull, equipped with cold weapons such as bed crossbows, bowl guns, and original firearms.
The Goryeo Navy soldiers in the cabin were extremely nervous.
The Jiangdong Navy is approaching, and the decisive battle between two huge navy troops is about to begin. There may be four or five deaths in this battle.
In addition, once the turtle ship sinks, these Korean navy soldiers may all be buried in the sea.
"The wind direction is not good, but we should still fight to the death and live with this ship. In any case, at least we should severely damage the Jiangdong Navy and prevent it from invading a large amount."
Li Shunchen drew his sword and fought to the death.
Lee Sun-sen is a loyal general, and he may really choose to die in battle rather than just talk verbally.
If it weren't for the lord of Li Shunchen who was killed by Mingguan, Chu Tian might not have been able to surrender Li Shunchen.
The Fubo army faced the battle urgently, and Zheng Zhilong's 200 small and medium-sized ships could already see the huge fleet of the Jiangdong Navy!
The bronze bird was wearing iron armor and a sword around her waist, commanding three thousand warships to head north. The storm did not stop and had already ordered the Jiangdong Navy to go against the wind in advance.
Although the Jiangdong Navy was destroyed by a hurricane on the way and was lost, it was not a ship, but the Tongque was still maverick and arrived at Chenjia Island earlier than planned to launch an attack on the Fubo army stationed here!
This is the largest fleet in the history of the Han Empire, and the number of warships invested by both sides reached more than 5,000!
A naval war of such a scale may not be achieved even by Western marine civilizations, unless these marine civilizations join forces.
"Prepare the fire arrows, and gunpowder arrows...the fire ship is ready!"
When Tongque saw Zheng Zhilong commanding a team of Fubo army ships appearing from the direction of Chenjia Island, he ordered Lu Meng to command a team of ships to fight.
Zhou Yu was preparing for the fire ship, preparing to decide the world with one battle, and determining the overlord status of the Jiangdong Navy.
The sky was still gloomy. Lu Meng was wearing white clothes and led 500 warships to escape from the main force of the Jiangdong Navy, rode the wind and waves, and broke into contact with Zheng Zhilong!
"Shoot the arrow!"
Thousands of rockets shot towards Zheng Zhilong's ship, like fire meteors!
A marsh at the front was shot by hundreds of rockets, and the fire spread rapidly, and the raging fire engulfed the entire marsh warship.
The navy soldiers on the deck were shot dead by fire arrows and corpses were everywhere.
The surviving naval soldiers were unable to put out the fire and had to jump into the water to escape!
"fight back!"
Zheng Zhilong was also fierce, holding a knife and a shield, and directing 200 warships to fight back against Lu Meng's fleet.
