Chapter 508 Red Light
The deep blue ocean was surging.
The sky above was also blue, with golden sunlight shining down, and it seemed that there were golden schools of fish swimming on the sea.
After five days of continuous surveillance, the warships responsible for reconnaissance determined that the Goryeo Navy was gathering towards Ancheng Port.
At this time, the main force of Zhou Yi's warships was about a hundred miles away from Ancheng Port.
He did not treat the enemy as a fool and let the fleet get too close to Goryeo.
In fact, the Goryeo Navy has been patrolling the Goryeo waters in the past few days.
But they have no visual advantage after all.
Before their warships arrive, they will disappear and go to other places to comply.
In addition, in order to thoroughly understand the movements of the Goryeo Navy, he also sent warships to other ports in Goryeo.
After confirming that the Goryeo Navy's warships did not go to these places, he finally focused all his attention on Ancheng Port.
Obviously, as he expected, Beidi wanted to take action in the direction of Chrysanthemum Island.
"General, the exploration ship is back." When Zhou Yi was staring at the sea, a warship appeared in the distance.
After a while, the warship arrived, and the captain in charge of reconnaissance told the situation of Ancheng Port, "All 146 warships of the Goryeo Navy have arrived at Ancheng Port. In addition, there are 36 fire ships and 6 turtle ships."
"General, Goryeo has taken out all its assets this time." Gong Ying clicked his tongue.
This fire ship is a small boat that only needs two people to operate.
Because the boat is small, it is very flexible on the water and very fast.
This kind of ship is full of kerosene, and it will ignite the enemy warship when it hits the enemy ship.
Turtle ship is a ramming ship shaped like a turtle.
There is a strong impact component similar to a dragon head at the head of the ship.
If the force of the collision with the enemy warship is strong, it is enough to knock a hole in the warship.
"Goryeo still has some assets." Zhou Yi frowned.
They can only explore the Goryeo warships along the coast, but the warships in the inland river cannot be detected.
The sudden addition of twenty fishing boats, fireboats, and turtle ships are compared to the Goryeo Navy that has been anchored in the inland port.
But it's good this way, since they are here, let's destroy them together.
"Whether it is a tower ship, a fireboat, or a turtle ship, they are just chickens and dogs in front of us. Let them sleep for the last time tonight. At the hour of Mao tomorrow, we will attack Ancheng Port." Zhou Yi gave the order.
This attack on the warships of Beidi made him experience it firsthand.
Compared with traditional tower ships, sailing warships loaded with artillery are just like cavalrymen riding war horses and holding bows on the grassland against infantrymen who are also on the grassland with only a long sword.
Whether it is mobility or range, they have a crushing advantage.
"Yes, General." The general on the ship responded.
Then the order was passed to the generals on other warships.
...
Ancheng Port.
Gao Zhengyao is discussing the plan to attack Chrysanthemum Island with the generals of the navy.
He is the highest general of the Goryeo Navy, and his official title is Du Tongzhi.
He will be in charge of the Goryeo navy this time.
"General, after we annihilate the Black Shark pirates, we have to have a drink together to celebrate." A general looked at Gao Zhengyao and smiled.
"That's right. Our warships dare not go to the Yanzhou waters during this period, for fear of encountering the Black Shark pirates." Someone else echoed.
"The most important thing is that arresting Dasong fishermen is an important source of income for our navy. We are really unwilling to have our money cut off like this."
"You are right, so we must seize this opportunity to annihilate this shitty Black Shark pirate. In this way, the sea area from Yanzhou to Goryeo will belong to our Goryeo again."
"..."
The generals said one thing after another, and they were all dissatisfied with the Black Shark pirates ruling the waters near Yanzhou.
At the same time, they were full of confidence in this alliance with Wufeng Island.
As a navy, they naturally understood the Wufeng pirates.
It is said that the strongest navy of Dasong, the Liang family's navy, did not dare to fight against Wufeng Island.
How could the newly established Black Shark pirates be a match for Wufeng Island?
Therefore, they were all excited.
Gao Zhengyao narrowed his eyes. The rich money in capturing the fishermen of Dasong naturally cannot be missed by him, the commander-in-chief.
Like other generals of the navy, he was full of anger towards the Black Shark pirates.
"I heard that the Black Shark pirates sent a lot of people to Chrysanthemum Island. This time we will snatch these people and make up for our losses." Gao Zhengyao said coldly.
The generals laughed when they heard this, as if they saw the white silver entering their pockets again.
"By the way, have you found the warships of the Black Shark pirates?" Gao Zhengyao asked.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, there are no traces of the Black Shark pirates' warships nearby, but a Korean fisherman said that he found a warship heading towards Japan, which seems to be the warship of the Black Shark pirates." A general replied.
Gao Zhengyao was relieved.
This shows that the Black Shark pirates knew nothing about their plan.
This time, they will definitely succeed.
"Tomorrow morning, we will go to Chrysanthemum Island. The fleet of Wufeng Island will arrive soon." Gao Zhengyao gave the order.
"Yes, Lord Commander." The Goryeo generals said in unison.
Go back.
The Goryeo generals prepared to have a good sleep tonight and launch the second attack on Chrysanthemum Island.
However, at dawn the next day, when the cocks crowed, they suddenly heard thunderous noises.
Gao Zhengyao was also sleeping soundly in the barracks near Ancheng Port.
He hurriedly got up and rushed out of the barracks.
In the early morning light, bursts of fire continued to light up on the dim sea.
After the fire, there was a rumbling sound.
Although the cold winter had passed and it was early spring, he suddenly broke out in a large amount of sweat.
"Black Shark Pirates!" The name immediately rang in his mind.
"General, we have been attacked!" A naval commander was panicked and didn't even have time to put on his armor.
"Let the soldiers board the ship to fight immediately!" Gao Zhengyao shouted.
"Yes, sir." The commander immediately returned to the temporary camp and called on the naval soldiers to board the warships.
Judging from the distribution of the fire, the warships of the Black Shark Pirates have surrounded them.
If they don't resist, they can only wait for all the warships to be destroyed.
Fighting back desperately may still have a glimmer of hope.
After all, they have many more warships than the Black Shark Pirates.
"It's on fire!"
The navy commander was urging the soldiers when he suddenly saw a blazing fire on the dock.
It turned out that a fireboat was on fire.
Gao Zhengyao also saw this scene, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The burning fireboat ignited the ropes tied to the wooden stakes on the shore.
The rope broke, and the fireboat moved towards the anchored Goryeo ship under the morning sea breeze.
"Boom boom boom..."
The roar of the artillery continued.
After the Black Shark Pirates' warships lit up, Gao Zhengyao found that there seemed to be a red light flying towards the dock.
This made him wonder, what was that!
