My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 487 Where did Lu Meng go?

"Your Majesty has landed on Tsushima Island. The Japanese pirates there are no match for the Tang army."

After reading the letter, Qi Jiguang passed it on to Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Lu Meng. He now looked slightly different from three months ago. From his old state, he gradually returned to his fifty-year-old appearance. , the body bones are also much stronger than before, and they can fully complement the armor.

At the moment, he is standing on the side of the ship, wearing chain mail, a breastplate on his chest, an animal headband around his waist, a mantle on his shoulders, a skirt armor underneath, a warrior's robe on his head to wipe his forehead, and a hat in his hand. Red tassel phoenix-winged helmet.

Standing next to him were Gao Shun, who was wearing two crotch armors, Zhang Liao, who was holding a yellow dragon hook sickle and his eyes were as bright as stars, and Lu Meng, who was standing a little further away.

This was a powerful general at the end of the Han Dynasty. At any time, he was a stand-alone presence. Now that he is under his command to fight this war against Japanese pirates, Emperor Jiajing gave him more support than when he fought against Japanese pirates. , I don’t know how much stronger it is.

"Inform the cargo ship carrying the Amity Army to rest temporarily on the east coast of Tsushima Island. The sailors of the Jinkai Division will control the warship and follow me to face the Japanese island."

Qi Jiguang's heart was surging and he clenched his fists. He carried a Qi family sword as tall as a man on his back, "Build up the momentum and create an opportunity for the South Route Fleet to test the defense!"

Boom!

Boom boom boom!

War drums signaled the order, and ten one-water Qinglong warships sailed across the sea, sailed away from the waters of Tsushima Island, and headed straight to Shikoku, the first large island of Wajima Island to the east.

The large ships were arranged horizontally, and the drums were beating loudly and passionately. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun each led two ships, one on the left wing, and the latter was in the rear formation. Lu Meng also led two ships on the right side, and Qi Jiguang led four ships in the center to reinforce the two wings at any time.

After Qi Jiguang's reminder, he subconsciously looked south.

At this time, the sea was calm, and Zhuge Liang's east wind had already stopped. The ten warships were sailing at a much slower speed than before, and they were less than forty miles away from the Japanese pirates' 'Shikoku Island'.

"rise."

"Sign signals to the left and right wings to let them pay attention to changes in the sea breeze."

"Pay attention to the sea breeze?" Zhang Liao frowned. At the same time, Lu Meng of the Qinglong warship on the right also frowned slightly. He was a naval general. Although sea warfare was different from river warfare, he was also keen on the wind.

The sound of the sea breeze changed from a whimper to a roar.

Feeling the force of the sea breeze blowing on it, my brows furrowed even more.

In his thoughts, the warship sailed two miles again. The sea wind became stronger and stronger, and the sailors on the deck could not open their eyes.

As someone who has been stationed on the coast all year round to guard against Japanese pirates, he is extremely sensitive to even subtle changes in the sea breeze. He understands this better than Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Lu Meng.

If they were facing the enemy, they would send three Qinglong warships to engage the enemy. While entangling the enemy, Lü Meng and Zhang Liao would outflank him from the left and right wings.

Behind him, there were footsteps approaching. An envoy with a small flag and banner knelt down and raised his hands: "Sir Abe, Dr. Sakyo sent a lowly official to ask, is there a kamikaze?"

At the same moment, on the coastline more than 30 miles away from them, a man wearing dark hunting clothes, with copper coins hanging on his shoulders and hanging on his chest, a tall black hat on his head, and a small folding fan in his hand, was standing. Standing on the sea rock, looking at the sea level.

"Why did the wind suddenly become stronger?"

The jade-like face was like a jade fox, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he gently shook the folding fan.

If there is a problem with the wind, it means that there is a stranger among the Japanese pirates who, like Zhuge Liang, can control the wind. If this is the case, then Guan Yu who is trying to attack, wouldn't it be...

On the observation deck on the mast, the flag-bearer frantically changed two small flags of different colors. On the warships under Zhang Liao and Lu Meng on the left and right wings, naturally there were flag-bearers who saw it and immediately conveyed the news to the flagship where they were.

woohoo~~

Qi Jiguang, who was standing on the ship building and looking at the coastline, vaguely heard the whining of the wind. He looked at the swollen sail and frowned slightly. Then he dipped his fingers in his mouth and raised them up.

The glutinous voice made the half-kneeling Shifan behind him feel goosebumps. When he heard the reply, he said loudly in Japanese: "Hai!"

Immediately, he stood up, got on his horse and galloped away.

As for the fox-faced man known as Abe-sama, his handsome face still had a slight smile. He took one last look at the horizon in the distance, turned around and walked slowly down the sea rock. He was gone in a few steps. A few feet away.

As early as when the layout of Tsushima Island was handed over to Kanenobu Kamigami to deploy the defense, the 'Shikoku' side had already begun to lay out another defense, the 'Kamikaze', which relied on the Onmyoji to block the enemy from the main island and delay shipbuilding and armament. , time to gather soldiers. Secondly, I hope to use the name of "Divine Wind" to recreate the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty and hope to bring them good luck.

After all, the daimyo on the island are also the masters of wars all year round. Even if the scale is not on the same level as the generals on the Chinese mainland, they still have experience after all.

The Xia Kingdom's middle ship stands in the southeast of Tsushima Island. It has probably been deduced that there are Wuzhou ships waiting in the south.

As for Tsushima Island, old and cunning people like Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Mori Motonari, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi had abandoned it long ago after detecting the encircled points and calling for reinforcements, leaving Kananobu Kamishiro to self-destruct. .

Of course, it would be good if the Shangshan Jianxin turns defeat into victory. If they fail, they will have nothing to lose. As long as they consolidate the defense of the archipelago, they will be able to hold off until the Xia Kingdom's soldiers and horses are exhausted, their food and fodder are exhausted, they are even homesick and their military morale is impetuous. Opportunity to counterattack.

The person currently in charge of the defense of the "Four Kingdoms" is Date Masamune, who was assassinated by the Xia Kingdom assassin Du Yichu in the street. He is known as the one-eyed dragon and claims to be the one-eyed Xiahou in the late Han Dynasty.

Now that he is missing another hand, his combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. Now he can only rely on the military formation to display his abilities.

He took over the defense of the "Shikoku" and assisted the Onmyoji named Abe Seimei. He was responsible for building an altar here, driving the kamikaze around the island, and forcing the approaching Natsu Kingdom warships to return without success.

Just after receiving the reply from Abe Keimei, the onmyoji, Date Masamune, who was missing one hand, sat on his horse, stroked the restless horse, glanced at the envoy who came back to report, and tilted his head and lowered his head. He whispered to his confidant beside him: "Let's get started!"

Several Onmyojis from Onmyogliao danced on the altar and performed magical steps.

……

The sea breeze is getting stronger and stronger.

On the Qinglong warship on the parallel sea, Qi Jiguang squinted his eyes and asked someone to lower the sails immediately. Otherwise, if the ship continued sailing, the mast would inevitably break, and it would be even more troublesome.

"Send an order to Lu Meng, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun behind, to turn around and go back. We can't go any further. This sea breeze is weird!"

Just as the flagman was sending out the flag, the flagman who was delivering the order suddenly discovered that in the direction of the right wing, the ship that was there before had disappeared. He hurriedly leaned down and shouted.

"Envoy Zhenfu! General Lu's ship is missing!"

The voice became ethereal in the fierce sea wind, but still drifted into Qi Jiguang's ears. His face changed slightly, and he ignored the strong wind that blew him around. He held the Qi family knife in his hand and struggled to the right side of the ship.

"Where are Lu Meng's two warships?"

In front of his field of vision, a thin layer of white mist curled up on the sea and was blown by the wind. The two warships that were originally there disappeared without a trace.

This sea breeze is not only weird, but this sea area may also be a little weird.

Making a prompt decision, he hurriedly asked people to turn the ship around and return to Tsushima Island first. After all, he was still responsible for the remaining people.

not good……

Guan Yu's side...

Thinking of this, Qi Jiguang felt uneasy in his heart.

Your Majesty and his original strategic concept may be going awry.

"It seems that these Japanese people are not that simple..."

After all, it’s not the old world anymore.
