Chapter 670: Ending

"General, all the Japanese warships have sunk. Read"

The war started at dawn and lasted for two hours.

It was almost noon when Gong Ying reported to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi nodded. He had been watching the battle and was naturally aware of this.

Looking past the sunken warships and looking at the dense buildings near the port, he said lightly: "Since they are here, give them an extra gift and destroy all the buildings in the port."

After saying yes, Gong Ying turned and left.

At this time, 32 warships turned their bows and sailed a distance towards the Japanese dock.

Then, they faced the Fukuoka port sideways again.

The roar of artillery sounded again, and this time the warships' artillery aimed at the restaurants, warehouses, shops and other buildings in the port.

One after another, hot bullets flew out, tearing the air and hitting these buildings.

These weak buildings were not as strong as the hulls of warships. The shells easily penetrated the doors and windows of the buildings, and the remaining force was not reduced. They rushed through the buildings and destroyed everything they met on the way.

Hitting the flammable materials, the high temperature of the hot shells directly ignited them, and the houses emitted thick smoke and burned like warships.

These burning buildings ignited the adjacent buildings, and the fire spread in the port.

There were also buildings whose beams and columns were broken by the shells, and they collapsed instantly, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.

Under the continuous bombardment, the area near the port also turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The Japanese screamed and fled from the buildings, looking at the Yanzhou warships in the sea, their eyes full of fear.

"General, would it be a mistake to provoke this King of Yan? He is just as cruel as the Westerners."

Toyotomi Hide was pulled by the naval commanders and fled deeper for a distance. At this time, a naval commander said.

"Baga! Can you question the general's strategy?" Hearing this, Toyotomi Hide turned around and slapped the general.

"Hey!" Five finger marks appeared on the face of the Japanese general, and he immediately bent down and lowered his head.

Glancing at the naval generals around him, he said: "Are you scared by this little failure? Don't forget the great plan of the general. As a general of the shogunate, even if you lose everything, you must defeat Dasong and make Japan the overlord of the East."

"Yes, general." The naval generals said in unison.

The bombardment continued for another half an hour and gradually stopped.

At this time, in the eyes of Toyotomi Hide's hatred, the 32 Yanzhou warships slowly turned their bows and headed south.

"Oh no, the Wufeng pirates are finished." Toyotomi Hide suddenly realized something, and suddenly pulled out the samurai sword at his waist and cut off a small tree next to him.

Since the Yanzhou fleet attacked them, they would naturally not let the Wufeng pirates go.

After destroying the Japanese navy, the Yanzhou fleet will dominate the East Sea for a period of time, which will be very unfavorable to Japan.

"You will follow me to the shogunate immediately and apologize to the general." Toyotomi Hide said.

At the same time, he reminded the general to protect the 36 sailing warships under construction.

As long as these 36 sailing warships are launched, they can regain the hegemony on the sea.

However, he was relieved that the general Watanabe An was obviously a very cautious person. He chose to build warships in the Edo River, an inland river.

In this way, their warships were safe before launching.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the departing Yanzhou warships again and murmured, "Your good days are about to end."

"Hahaha..."

When Toyotomi Hide was angry, Zhou Yi and Gong Ying laughed loudly on the flagship of the Yanzhou fleet.

The first step of the raid plan was successful. Now the entire Fukuoka Port has become a ruin. 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 warships of the Wufeng pirates through space.

Zhou Yi nodded, "From the map given by His Highness, it takes three days to travel from Edo to Fukuoka, and two days to Wufeng Island."

"According to the observation, the Japanese navy in Fukuoka plans to go to Jinghai today, so the Wufeng Island pirates may have set off yesterday."

Gong Ying nodded, "Return to Jinghai immediately now. Our ship is fast and theirs is slow. We should be able to reach Jinghai before them. Maybe we can meet them halfway."

Zhou Yi laughed, "It would be best if we can meet them halfway, and kill them at the same time."

After that, he ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed.

After two days of sailing, they arrived at the Yanzhou waters.

To their disappointment, they did not encounter Wufeng Haikou halfway.

Then, 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 cavalry arrived at the port and handed a letter to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi looked at the flame symbol on the envelope, his pupils slightly dilated, and he immediately tore the letter open.

Then, he immediately ordered all the crew members to board the ship.

"What's wrong, General?" Gong Ying asked when he saw Zhou Yi's serious face.

"After leaving Wufeng Island, the Wufeng pirates went to the Qingcheng Wharf of Qi State and are currently docked there." Zhou Yi said to Gong Ying.

This letter was sent by the Fourth Academy, and their information would not be wrong.

There is no doubt that the Qingcheng Wharf is the meeting point of the Japanese Navy.

No wonder they did not find any traces of the Wufeng pirates in the Yanzhou waters.

Gong Ying raised his eyebrows, looking excited.

The two boarded the flagship and the fleet set off again.

After two days of sailing, they arrived at the waters near Qingcheng, Qizhou.

This time Zhou Yi did not choose to launch a surprise attack, but let the fleet rush directly to Qingcheng Wharf.

If the thirty-two warships could not even defeat the one hundred warships purchased by Wufeng Haipu, they could all jump into the sea to feed the fish.

It was noon, the sky was clear and the Yanzhou fleet was immediately discovered by the Wufeng pirates as soon as it appeared.

The crew immediately notified Taro Aida in the Qingcheng Guild Hall.

"What! Yanzhou Fleet." Upon hearing this, Taro Aida's forehead suddenly broke out into a layer of fine beads of sweat.

Not long after he returned from the southern sea area of ​​Dongtu, he received an order from General Watanabe to launch a surprise attack on Jinghai.

According to the plan, they would meet at Qingcheng Wharf, and then go to Jinghai at night to launch a surprise attack on the Yanzhou warships docked there.

Calculating the date, he expected that the Japanese navy in Fukuoka would arrive today.

But he did not expect that what he was waiting for was the Yanzhou fleet.

However, this was not the worst.

He had just received news that the Yanzhou army that entered Qizhou was attacking cities and strongholds as if they were in an empty land.

Currently, a Yanzhou army was only ten miles away from Qingcheng and could reach Qingcheng in less than half an hour.

He was preparing to lead the people in the Dongying Trading House to retreat to the warship, and return to Dongying after the sneak attack was successful.

Unexpectedly, he was in a desperate situation.
