Chapter 486 Reinforcement
"You are all valiant warriors, but the time is not yet."
Sakai's eyes were mixed with fanaticism, but he understood that war cannot be won by courage alone, especially in the face of the Dutch army. He clearly understood that arquebuses were not the opponents of flintlock guns on the battlefield. depends on the number of people.
But now because of the arrival of the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom, they have also lost this advantage. In order to achieve a greater winning rate, he can only expect more support to come.
"How long until then?" a warrior asked.
After pondering for a while, Sakai said: "When Makino Chunming's people arrive, we will be able to go out of the city to fight."
"Makino Chunming?"
All the warriors were silent for a while, and no one knew the name of Makino Chunming among the pirates, and no one knew it.
Under his leadership, his pirates attacked many cities along the coast of Dayu, and the wealth plundered was the first of many pirates, and the samurai under Makino Chunming were also known for their ferocity.
In each raid, these warriors could inflict a large number of casualties on the army of the Great Yu Country, which made the soldiers of the Great Yu Country change their color. Most importantly, there was a 5,000-strong musket team in the hands of Muye Chunming. , with this musket team they will be able to gain an advantage in numbers.
When it comes to the name of Makino Chunming, the warriors no longer object, because Makino Chunming is one of the best warriors in the country, and they all have a mentality of admiration for Makino Chunming.
"Chunming Makino brought me news five days ago. According to his plan, they will be able to reach the Ryukyu Island in two days." Sakai's eyes turned to the sea in the east.
As he expected, a fleet of ships was approaching Ryukyu Island on the vast sea. The fleet consisted of thirty Atakashi ships, and a middle-aged samurai in a samurai suit was standing on the Atakashi ship headed by them. , he is Makino Chunming in Sakaiguchi.
After receiving the order to capture the main island of Ryukyu, he led the battleship to Ryukyu to join Sakai.
"Lord Makino, Ryukyu Island is ahead." A soldier pointed to the visible coast and said.
Makino Chunming showed a arrogant smile and said, "Ryukyu Island will be ours soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier pointed to the south and said, "Lord Muye, the Dutch battleship!"
"What!" Makino Chunming turned his head to look south, and sure enough, three battleships were approaching them. These battleships were no different from the Dutch battleships, but when he saw the flag on the battleship, he shook his head and said; "This is not The Dutch battleship is the battleship of the Great Yu Kingdom."
Sakai had already told him about King Qi of Qingzhou, so when he saw the flag on the battleship he immediately recognized it.
"Don't fight them, speed up and approach the shore, we are not their opponents at sea." Makino Chunming is well aware of the power of these warships.
After receiving his order, Atakabune accelerated and headed towards the Ryukyu coast.
On the three warships on the opposite side, Yue Yun issued an order to prevent these warships from landing on Ryukyu Island.
Although they and the Dutch had more than 20 warships in total, these warships could only cruise in the nearby waters in units of three, but what Yue Yun did not expect was that the three warships he led would soon be swept away. A group of Japanese pirates trying to support the main island of Ryukyu was discovered.
"Destroy them!" Yue Yun gave the order.
At this time, the three third-level warships accelerated towards the Japanese pirates, but what surprised Yue Yun was that these Japanese pirates did not seem to have any intention of fighting them, but quickly approached the shore.
The battleship headed by them was less than a mile away from the coast, which made him a little anxious. Obviously, three battleships could not destroy this large number of Japanese pirates at once.
The Japanese warships rushed towards the coast desperately, and at the same time, the distance between the two sides was getting closer, and at the same time, six Japanese warships suddenly separated from the fleet and approached Yue Yun's warships.
"General, a battleship is coming." The soldier on the watchtower shouted.
"Don't pay attention to them and bombard the warships heading for the coast." Yue Yun took a binocular to observe these Ataka ships. These six Ataka ships were somewhat alleys with other ships, because the other Ataka ships were carrying a large number of soldiers, and these six Ataka ships Ships are escort battleships with only a small crew on them.
The purpose of the Japanese pirates sending these ships now is to stop them from attacking the ships ahead.
Seeing through the purpose of the Japanese pirates, Yue Yun directly commanded the fleet to approach the coast. At this time, the Japanese pirates' first Anzhai ship had already docked, and the Japanese pirates got off the boat and rushed towards the island.
Seeing this, Yue Yun became more and more anxious. The more Japanese pirates on the island, the worse it would be for the Qingzhou Army. After reaching the shooting distance, Yue Yun immediately ordered the battleship to fire.
"Boom boom boom..."
With the sound of the cannon, the cannonball flew towards the Ataka ship that was docking, and there was a burst of screams from the Ataka ship.
Many Japanese pirates were directly smashed into the sea by shells from the ship. The three Tier 3 warships fired continuously, with more than a hundred shells bombarding the Ataka ship in each round.
The Japanese pirates on the Ataka boat had no resistance. They tried their best to slide the boat to the shore. Some Japanese pirates even jumped into the sea and swam to the shore.
During the shelling, more and more Atakuya ships docked, and a large number of Japanese pirates fled to the island, and they also suffered a lot of casualties under the shelling.
Seeing that most of the Japanese pirates landed, Yue Yun felt agitated. They found out too late, otherwise they would not have allowed so many Japanese pirates to land on the island.
But the fact was doomed, he felt that it was time to go back and inform King Qi about it.
Looking at the six Atakashi ships that were still approaching, Yue Yun gave an order to retreat. Although he was not afraid of these Atakashi ships, it would be very troublesome to be forced to come up. Now he should go back and lead more battleships over and pass the news at the same time.
With the sound of the bell, the three warships headed towards the city of Relan. An hour later, she and the others arrived at Baishaguu Beach. He immediately sent someone ashore to inform Xiao Ming that about 5,000 Japanese pirates had landed.
Then he and the other warships converged in the direction they had come from. Since these Japanese pirates are here, don't even think about going back.
Outside Mikila Castle, Xiao Ming and Claire quickly got news from Yue Yun.
"Five thousand people." Claire's face was a little dignified. As a result, the number of Japanese pirates increased again, which meant that they had to pay a higher price to capture Mikila Castle.
And the most important thing is that these Japanese pirates don't know where they are going, when and where they will attack.
"Lu Fei, immediately dispatch scouts to patrol to prevent being attacked." Xiao Ming immediately gave an order.
The war has begun!
