My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 481 Dongfeng Quick Fight

It was the last day in late May, and the sun was shining brightly on the sea. The sun shone on the sails of the ship, and the dappled patterns on the deck were moving slightly.

The sound of crashing waves came in waves,

Jia Xu looked at the intelligence from the middle and south armies in his hand, compared the time and the distance to the sea, then made some comments on it, handed it to the people below to record it, and then had someone submit it to the top of the ship building to the emperor. .

Soldiers patrolled the decks and buildings of the ship.

The message transmission at sea is not as frequent as on land. Generally, the second summarized message will be delivered here every other day, informing you of your position and sailing speed.

The civil servant held the message of the two fleets in his hand and quickly walked up the stairs to the top. Xu Chu stood at the top of the stairs holding a tiger-head knife like a mountain bear, almost covering the entire stairway, and then stretched out a hand. He stopped the clerk and didn't move an inch. He just glanced back and forth at the person who came, and said in a loud voice: "...What are you doing?"

"I am under the command of the Taiwei to deliver news of the two fleets."

While he was talking, Su Chen's voice came from behind Xu Chu: "Zhong Kang, don't embarrass the people below, let him in."

"Oh." Xu Chu glanced inside, and then his fat body moved to the side to make some room. He stared at the clerk with eyes as wide as copper bells: "Your Majesty lets you in."

The clerk wiped the sweat from his forehead, quickly raised his hand to Xu Chu, and quickly walked around the sturdy man. Xu Chu stared at the man's back again, then turned back, and used the tiger-head knife to re-secure the stairs. Guard it.

At the top of the ship building, the cavalry commanders Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Xiang Yu are all here. After all, they can't help much in a naval battle. Only after they actually land on the shore can the power of the cavalry be truly unleashed on land.

When Gan Ning received the news, he had a ferocious smile on his face and waved his fist in excitement: "The war is finally about to begin. Let all brothers get ready. Let's go to the front to clear the way and hang my brocade sail!"

The visitor hurriedly came to the big chair placed in the middle, bowed to the emperor who was sitting upright above, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the news sent by the Taiwei from his humble position."

"If Zhuge Liang hadn't borrowed the east wind, we would have fought steadily and fought for Tsushima Island with the Japanese. But with the help of the divine wind, we can take it in one go before they build any defenses there!"

Zheng He next to him took the paper and handed it to Su Chen. He glanced at it, then folded it and gave it to Wu Zixun for safekeeping.

"Oh, originally I wanted the Prime Minister to rest for a while. Since the Governor said so, it is indeed time to fight quickly!" Nodding, Su Chen stood up using the armrests and immediately asked Wu Zixun to wait for orders.

"Pass my order and notify the Governor of Zhou. The soldiers are very quick and let the Tang army prepare to seize the beach. General Qi's Central Plains fleet will contain the Japanese fleet that may appear on Tsushima Island. Guan Junhou on the south road pretends to attack the Japanese islands. Keep them distracted!"

"Your Majesty, there are still five hundred miles left, but there are still two hundred and forty-five miles left before we can see the Japanese island of Tsushima."

Zheng He was also one of the commanders of the navy. Although he had given up the navy to Zhou Yu, he still had a keen understanding of maritime warfare: "The island of Tsushima has a radius of one hundred and seventy-three miles, which is good for stationing supplies and food." The place, and it is close to the Japanese islands, is the top priority."

Lu Bu, Xiang Yu and others nodded in agreement, while Su Chen, who was sitting in the chair, leaned back slightly, looked at the sea in front of him, and narrowed his eyes, "Is Governor Zheng telling me that it's time to take action now?"

"How long is it until Japan Island?"

Wu Zixun was accustomed to issuing a series of orders without any pause. He quickly jotted them down and ran downwards to convey the emperor's orders to the flag bearer. The latter climbed to the highest point of the mast and raised the flag. Zhou Yu had already seen the flag. , sent people to send signals to Qin Qiong and other generals, and then sent orders to Gan Ning, Elsa, Barry and other ships.

There were several large cargo ships behind his ship. After hearing the news, Qin Qiong rubbed his hands back and forth on the deck excitedly and said to Cheng Yaojin next to him: "This is finally a chance for Tang Jun to show his face. Dafu, tell you right." , hurry up and let someone know, and bring Qi Jiguang’s batch of weapons with him. He said that it is the most effective against the Japanese. Whether it is really effective or not, you will know after trying it. If it doesn’t work, then use our own method!"

Cheng Yaojin picked his nostrils and said, "It's best if it doesn't work. Just kill him and be done with it. With Li Xuanba's physique, let him lead the army in the lead."

"Xuanba is the younger brother of His Majesty (Li Shimin), how can he charge into the battle!" Qin Qiong slapped the guardrail, squinted his eyes in the sea breeze, and then laughed: "But I thought so too, who else will he fight if he doesn't fight! Hahaha !" The news was sent to the cargo hold of another ship. Li Xuanba received the order and didn't care about whether he was a brother or not. In the past few years, he had been frustrated. He applied to Su Chen several times to follow Su Dingfang to fight in the Western Regions. , were all stopped by their elder brothers. All day long, they were either practicing martial arts or reading military books and deducing the art of war.

Now Qin Qiong asked him to take the lead. He excitedly opened the wooden box containing the pair of drums, urns and golden hammers. He knocked it in his hands and walked back and forth for a few steps. He couldn't bear the thought of rushing out of the cabin to fight with the monkeys. Hehehe laughed out loud.

At the same time, on the other side of the treasure ship, Zhou Yu pressed the sword on his waist and laughed with Su Chen and other generals: "...there is actually a plan to make up for the attack on Tsushima Island."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan: "Surround the area for reinforcements!"

Wolong closed his eyes slightly.

"Once it is known that our army is attacking the important land of Tsushima, whether it is a Japanese island or a Japanese fleet cruising on the sea, they will definitely come to rescue them. They can ambush them midway, or they can immediately let Guan Yu, who is feinting to attack, attack the Japanese homeland. The virtual and the real alternate. , Feint attack and actual attack, the Japanese are in trouble, either give up seizing the island and fight, or let Guan Junhou's Wuzhou navy land on the four countries of the Japanese island!"

Su Chen closed his eyes and walked around. He was probably thinking about the feasibility of this plan. After a while, he stopped and narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Let's follow the plan of the two of you. Give the Japanese something first." Emperor Omikado came to take note of his power and let them know that when I came over, the Chinese civil and military forces were ready to bloodbath the Japanese islands. Even if they were defeated, they had no intention of returning intact."

This time his expression was serious, which was different from the joking before.

After a moment, Zhuge Liang took off his white robe, revealing the Taoist robe underneath. He held the Seven-Star Sword in his hand, stepped on the Tiangang Steps, walked among the Bagua array, and waved the sword. After a while, the strong wind roared again.

At this moment, Su Chen pulled out the Xia Wang Sword, raised it above his head, and looked at the figures on the deck. His voice was high and majestic.

"Sail at full speed and conquer the Japanese islands!"

On the rough sea surface, densely packed warships cut through the waves, heading further east, about two hundred miles away.

Tsushima Island, which has only a few hills, occupies a vast terrain of 173 miles at sea. There are many Japanese on the flat ground, like a colony of ants coming and going on the island, and small ships are constantly heading towards it. Coming here, after docking, groups of people came over, unloaded the supplies from the ship, and then transported them away.

Japanese craftsmen felled wood and carved mountains, and used wheelbarrows to transport the stones and wood to the port, or to the watchtowers being built along the shore.

About fifty miles away from the coast, on a hilly and flat field, there is a military camp that has been built. Shangshan Jianxin led a group of guards to patrol outside the camp, looking at the team of civilians on the field connected to the distant harbor.

Many mistakes in the past caused him to lose his reputation and status in front of other daimyo. The task of sticking to Tsushima Island fell on him to make up for his repeated failures.

"My lord, please rest assured. The Xia Kingdom's army is huge, but it is extremely troublesome to mobilize. Moreover, at this time of year, the wind direction is from the southwest. I am afraid that they are still as slow as a snail on the sea. They may be powerful in field battles, but it is difficult to attack the island with ships. What's more, Our great names and powerful generals from all eras are also gathered here. They are not much worse than them. If we really want to fight, even those in humble positions would not dare to come because they are afraid of them."

The speaker was a retainer beside him named Shimazu Tadanao, who was his old subordinate back then.

However, at this moment, Shangshang Jianxin was no longer aloof and arrogant. Hearing the words "Xia Kingdom's Army" from the other party's mouth, he couldn't help but frown and became much more cautious.

He was silent for a while, shook his head, and said only: "Don't be full of words."
