Chapter 194: Using a Sledgehammer to Kill a Chicken, Destroying the Japanese Pirates

brush!

As soon as this news came out, the navy generals in the hall immediately stood up nervously.

Only Jin Wang Chen Huaian, who was looking at the navigation chart, immediately marked the coordinates of the Dragon City Navy fleet on the navigation chart.

Then, he moved his fingers towards the coastline, and suddenly he had a plan in his mind.

On that side of the coastline is the coastal area of ​​Shandong, separated by a sea from the Goguryeo Peninsula.

In this area, several groups of pirates composed of Japanese warriors, ronin and merchants appeared all year round, harassing the people along the coast of Shandong, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil.

You don't need to think about it to know that the unknown ships that appear on the southward route of the Longcheng Navy Fleet are most likely to be pirates and bandits.

At this time, Qi Jiguang, the admiral of the Navy, immediately asked the messenger: "Are the ships that appear in the waters of our Longcheng Navy fleet's channel waters fishermen going out to sea to fish?"

The messenger replied: "Reporting to the Grand Governor, the fleets of both sides are far apart, and the identity of the other's ship cannot be confirmed yet!"

"General Qi, there is no need to confirm!"

Chen Huaian threw the brush in his hand onto the navigation chart and said with a smile: "What can attract the attention of naval officers and soldiers will definitely not be ordinary fishing boats;"

"If I guess correctly, they should be Japanese pirates!"

pirate?

Upon hearing this word, the expressions of all the navy generals present suddenly froze, and their expressions became visibly nervous.

Chen Huaian continued: "Everyone, there is no need to waste time here. Follow me to the deck to have a look. If it is a Japanese pirate, you will know it once it is verified!"

After saying that, Chen Huaian was the first to walk out of the cabin.

Seeing this, Qi Jiguang hesitated for a moment and followed.

The rest of the navy generals also stood up and followed the steps of His Royal Highness King Jin and the Navy Admiral, leaving the cabin and heading to the deck.

at the same time.

This group of ships appeared in the Yellow Sea. On the big ship at the bow, a Japanese pirate with a sanitary beard also discovered the Longcheng Navy fleet sailing from north to south.

As Chen Huaian expected, this fleet of more than thirty ships was one of several Japanese pirates active in the Goguryeo Peninsula and the coastal waters of Shandong.

The leader, a Japanese pirate with a mustache, named Sakai Takaaki, was a low-level fishmonger who was born in Osaka.

This man was very brave and ruthless by nature. Seeing that he was tired of fishing but could not earn much money, he simply got involved with a group of fishermen from the same village and started piracy.

Originally, these Japanese pirates were only engaged in small-time activities in coastal areas.

However, as the new second emperor Zhao Qianyujia, who was very happy about his success, went on a personal expedition and transferred the 200,000 Japanese soldiers who had been stationed along the coast of Shandong all year round, these Japanese pirates became more and more courageous.

In fact, they were no longer satisfied with looting coastal villages, but planned to take advantage of the civil strife in the New Dynasty to extend their evil claws to coastal counties and cities.

After all, there are many more wealthy people in county cities than in small coastal fishing villages, and there is much more gold, silver, money, food, and women for these Japanese pirates to plunder.

Today is the day when this group of Japanese pirates prepare to go ashore and plunder the coastal city of Jiaozhou.

For this reason, Sakai Takaaki, the pirate leader, entangled more than 5,000 Japanese pirates, drove more than 30 ships, and carried a large number of weapons and arrows, just to capture Jiaozhou City in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that Sakai Takaaki probably didn't check the almanac before going out, so he encountered the Dragon City Navy fleet fighting south. It was still equipped with artillery, which was enough to carry out dimensionality reduction strikes against various navy and pirates at the same time.

"Chief, ahead, an unidentified fleet was discovered ahead!"

At this time, a small leader of the Japanese pirates approached the leader Sakai Takaaki and said in a panic: "Chief, this, this can't be the naval fleet of the Great New Dynasty, right?"

"Their warships look much taller than ours!"

"Bagaya road!"

Sakai Takaaki cursed angrily and continued: "I am not blind, I can see!"

Hi!

The little leader of the Japanese pirates had no temper at all after being scolded, and he still had to nod and bow respectfully in front of the leader Takaaki Sakai.

"Report——"

"Chief, the captains of each ship are raising flags and asking what to do if they encounter an unidentified fleet?"

At this time, the Japanese pirate who was responsible for the report also hurriedly reported the intelligence just received by the flagman to the fleet leader Sakai Takaaki.

idiot!

Sakai Takaaki spat angrily and shouted impatiently: "What's the rush? Let them all wait for me. I will make my own decision on how to deal with it!"

Hi!

The little guy who was responsible for delivering the order left in a hurry and found the flag bearer on the ship to convey the leader's order to other ships.

Gao Ming Sakai half-squinted his eyes as he looked at the approaching Dragon City navy fleet, with a greedy look in his vulgar eyes.

Especially, when Sakai Takaaki saw the super battleship "Japanese Destroyer" that Chen Huaian was riding on, he couldn't take his eyes away.

Looking at the huge hull of the "Japanese Exterminator", and then looking at the eye-catching four-clawed yellow dragon flag flying above, and the majestic and oppressive wooden dragon head on the bow;

Sakai Takaaki couldn't help but smacked his lips and said: "One day, this leader must try his best to get this treasure ship!"

Of course, the soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp weapons on the deck of the treasure ship were also seen by Sakai Gaoming.

When he coveted the treasure ship and wanted to take it for himself, he had to weigh his own weight and see if he had such a good mouth to eat such a huge fleet!

On the other side.

Standing on the deck of the "Miewo" warship, Chen Huaian could almost confirm with his naked eyes that the identity of the unknown fleet in front of him was pirates.

But in the spirit of catching thieves and seizing stolen goods, he still ordered the navy officers and soldiers to send a small boat to board the ship for inspection.

Chen Huaian ordered: "General Qi, pass on my order to send a small boat to show your identity, board the ship for inspection, and surround the rest of the warships to prevent the Japanese pirates from escaping!"

"I have received your order!"

Soon, the officers and soldiers of the Longcheng Navy who received the order released a small boat from the "Miewo" warship, and a team of fully armed navy officers and soldiers quickly boarded the ship and rowed towards the unidentified fleet in front.

At the same time, the rest of the warships of the Longcheng Navy fleet also began to line up in battle formation and speeded towards the fleet in front.

"Chief, it's not good!"

"The fleet in front has released a small boat, and it seems that they are preparing to board the ship for inspection. What should we do, chief?"
