Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 663
[Chapter 663 Closing]
“General, all the Japanese warships have sunk.” The
war started at dawn and lasted for two hours.
At noon, Gong Ying reported to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi nodded. He has been watching the battle situation, so he knows this naturally.
Looking past the sunken battleship and looking at the dense buildings near the port, he said indifferently: “Since they have come, I will give them an extra gift and destroy all the buildings in the port.” In
response, Gong Ying turned and left. go.
At this time, the thirty-two warships turned their bows and headed for a certain distance to Dongying Wharf.
Immediately, it faced Fukuoka port sideways again.
The roar of the artillery reappeared, and this time the artillery of the battleship aimed at the restaurants, warehouses, shops and other buildings on the port.
Fiery bullets flew out, tore through the air, and hit these buildings.
These weak buildings are not as hard as the hulls of warships. The shells easily penetrated the doors and windows of the buildings, and the momentum remained undiminished, rampaging inside the buildings, destroying everything they encountered on the road.
Hitting on combustibles, the high temperature of the hot bomb directly ignited it, thick smoke rose from the house, and burned like a warship.
These burning buildings in turn ignited adjacent buildings, and the fire spread across the port.
There are also buildings whose beams and columns were broken by shells, and collapsed instantly, raising a burst of smoke and dust.
Under the continuous shelling, the vicinity of the port has also become a sea of flames.
The Dongying people screamed and escaped from the building, looking at the Yanzhou battleship in the sea, their eyes were full of fear.
“General, would it be a mistake to provoke this King of Yan? He is as cruel as the Western natives.”
Toyotomi Hideo was dragged by the navy generals and fled for a certain distance. At this time, a navy general Said.
“Baga! Can you question the general’s strategy?” Hearing this, Toyotomi Hideo turned around and slapped the general.
“Hi!” There were five finger prints on General Dongying’s face, and he immediately bent over and lowered his head.
Glancing at the naval generals around him, he said: “Does this small failure scare your courage? Don’t forget the great plan of the general. As a shogunate general, even if he loses everything, he must defeat Da Song. Let Dongying become the overlord of the Eastern land.”
“Yes, general.” The navy generals said in unison.
The shelling continued for another half an hour, and gradually stopped.
At this time, under the hatred eyes of Toyotomi Hideo, the thirty-two Yanzhou warships slowly turned their bows and headed south.
“Oops, the Wufeng pirates are finished too.” Toyotomi Hideo suddenly realized something, pulled out the samurai sword at his waist, and cut off a small tree beside him.
Since the Yanzhou fleet attacked them, naturally they would not let the Wufeng pirates go.
After destroying the Dongpu Navy, the Yanzhou Fleet will dominate the Eastern Seas in the next period of time, which will be very detrimental to Dongpu.
“You immediately follow me to the shogunate and plead guilty to the general,” Toyotomi Hideo said.
At the same time, he wanted to remind the general to protect the thirty-six sailing warships under construction.
As long as these thirty-six sailing warships are launched, they will be able to regain their supremacy at sea.
However, he was gratified that General Watanabe was obviously a very cautious person, and he chose to build warships in the inland river of Edo River.
In this way, their warships are safe until they are launched into the water. Thinking of this, he glanced at the departing Yanzhou battleship again, and murmured
, “Your good days are coming to an end soon.” , Zhou Yi and Gong Ying laughed loudly.
The first raid plan was successful, and now the entire port of Fukuoka is in ruins. Even if it is rebuilt, it will take more than a year.
“Next, it’s time for the second step of the plan, which is to eliminate the Wufeng pirates.” Gong Ying looked to the south, as if he could see the warship of the Wufeng pirates through the space.
Zhou Yi nodded, “According to the map given by His Highness, it takes three days’ journey from Edo to Fukuoka, and two days’ journey to Wufeng Island.
” Then the Wufeng Island pirates may have already set off yesterday.”
Gong Ying nodded, “I will return to Jinghai immediately. Our boat is fast, but their boat is slow. We should be able to reach Jinghai before them. We can meet them on the way.”
Zhou Yi laughed, “It would be best if we could meet them on the way, and we will destroy them easily.” After
that, he ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed.
After two days of sailing, they arrived in Yanzhou waters.
To their disappointment, they did not encounter Wufeng Haikou on the way.
Immediately, they returned to Jinghai Wharf.
After a short rest at the port, Zhou Yi was thinking about how to find the Wufeng pirates.
At this time, a cavalryman arrived at the port and handed a letter to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi looked at the flame mark on the envelope, his pupils dilated slightly, and immediately tore the letter open.
Then, he immediately gave the order to let all the crew board the ship.
“What’s the matter? General.” Seeing Zhou Yi’s serious face, Gong Ying couldn’t help asking.
“After the Wufeng pirates set off from Wufeng Island, they went to Qingcheng Wharf in Qi State, and they are currently docking there.” Zhou Yi said to Gong Ying.
This letter was sent by someone from the Fourth Academy, and their intelligence would not be wrong.
There is no doubt that Qingcheng Wharf is the meeting point of the Dongying Navy.
It’s no wonder they didn’t find any traces of the Wufeng pirates in the waters of Yanzhou.
Gong Ying frowned, looking excited.
The two boarded the flagship, and the fleet set off again.
After two days of sailing, they arrived in the waters near Qingcheng, Qizhou.
This time Zhou Yi did not choose to sneak attack, but let the fleet rush directly to Qingcheng Wharf.
If the thirty-two warships can’t beat the one hundred Wufeng Haigou warships, they can all jump into the sea to feed the fish.
It was noon, the sky was bright and clear, and the Yanzhou fleet was immediately discovered by the Wufeng pirates as soon as it appeared.
The crew immediately notified Taro Aida who was in the Qingcheng Guild Hall.
“What! Yanzhou Fleet.” Hearing this, a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on Aida Taro’s forehead.
Soon after he returned from the East Tunan sea area, he received an order from General Watanabe to attack Jinghai.
According to the plan, they will meet up at Qingcheng Wharf, and then go to Jinghai at night to sneak attack the Yanzhou warship docked there.
Counting up the days, he predicted that the Dongying Navy in Fukuoka would arrive today.
But unexpectedly, what he was waiting for was Yanzhou’s fleet.
Only, that’s not the worst.
He just got the news that the Yanzhou army who entered Qizhou attacked the city all the way, as if entering the land of no one.
At present, a Yanzhou army is only ten miles away from Qingcheng, and it can reach Qingcheng in less than half an hour.
He was about to lead the people in the Dongying Merchant Hall to evacuate to the warship. After the sneak attack was successful, he would return to Dongying.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly fell into a desperate situation.
