Liu Jiang nodded and said, "It has been sent. General Wang Shen has agreed to delay the time of sending troops as much as possible. Moreover, Wu Yizhou also entrusted me to recruit a lot of sailors from the Quanzhou Navy, and the price has been negotiated. They will all join the fleet attacking Coro Bay. There will be no mistakes!"

Liu Pei was very satisfied with Wu Yizhou's arrangement. For this decisive battle, Liu Pei had mobilized all his strength! All the ships and personnel who could fight were gathered by him. The offensive fleet in Koro Bay had about 100 ships, and all of them were equipped with marines.

Therefore, both in terms of the number of people and the number of ships, Liu Xiang has formed an advantageous force. However, naval warfare is different from land warfare. If the land forces are disbanded, there is still a possibility of reassembling. Once the naval warfare ship catches fire or sinks, the combat power will be permanently lost. So Liu Pei dared not take it lightly.

As for Song Ke's side, Liu Pei estimated that the other party would touch about 20 to 25 ships. Because Batavia could not send all ships out! They also face challenges from Spain and England in Southeast Asia. They must leave enough fleets in Batavia to report themselves.

Liu Pei can dispatch 26 ships, which is roughly the same number. However, Liu has the latest flagship Shandong, which is a huge advantage! If it is used well, it can play a final role!

As time passed day by day, the gathered fleet became increasingly large! Almost all the sea surface around Zhenhai City was occupied by sails. The sailors and soldiers on the ship were working hard to transport supplies, repair ships, and prepare for the war.

Among the more than 100 ships, more than 30 of them were transformed. These ships were relatively small and older ships. The soldiers demolished all the artillery and weapons on the ship, and piled up firewood and grass in the ship. Three rows of huge steel nails were fixed on the bow. These ships were the arson ships prepared by Liu Pei. He believed that Liu Xiang must have prepared similar ships.

At noon that day, the soldiers finished their lunch and boarded the ship to wait for departure. However, Liu Pei did not give a speech to the soldiers during this battle. Because earlier, the officers had already made the battle

The meaning is explained to the fullest. All soldiers know that as long as they win this battle, the entire sea will belong to them! So the morale is extremely strong!

When Liu Pei was fully armed and led the officers and guards to the dock, the atmosphere at the dock reached its climax! On the long temporary trest bridge, the soldiers were cheering at Liu Pei! The sounds were rising and falling!

When they saw Liu Pei fully armed and ready to fight with them, the cheers became even more intense and the sound rushed to the sky! Liu Pei waved to the sailors on the ships on both sides along the way, which made them even more excited.

Walking to the end of the pier, Liu Pei turned around and saluted the officers behind him one by one. Wu Yizhou will lead the fleet to set off first, and they will head straight to Coro Bay! The second fleet, which are all new warships, will set off later, and Liu Pei will lead them to officially fight with the Netherlands fleet!

Liu Pei wanted to see if there was a gap between himself and the Netherlands fleet that was traversing all over the world? How big is the gap? But in fact, Liu Pei felt that he should be the one with the advantage. His side had the intelligence advantage and was all new warships after optimization design. There was no reason for him to fail!

Liu Pei also analyzed his nervousness and hopeful mood, feeling that he seemed to have been affected by things in history. Because now, due to his existence, his navy should be the most powerful navy in Asia in this timeline, and he can completely defeat the Netherlands.

So Liu Pei also adjusted his mood and cognition and conveyed it to the officers. Liu Pei told them that he just wanted to use the hands of the Netherlands fleet to test his combat effectiveness. After this war, Liu Pei will challenge the interests of several maritime powers in Asia. This is what he must do. If the war goes well, Liu Pei will feel that he has the right to participate in the world! Liu Pei's strategic thinking made the officers in the army extremely excited, and they were ready to fight!

Everyone boarded the warships one after another, and only Liu Pei and Wu Yizhou were left on the trestle. Wu Yizhou would go to Koro Bay as the commander-in-chief of the fleet. Liu Pei took the lead in saluting Wu Yizhou and said, "After arriving at Koro Bay, we should keep steady.

Just fight! Our strength is stronger than Liu Xiang, and it doesn’t matter if we fail. As long as Ryukyu is not lost and Shandong’s secrets are not discovered, we will still make a comeback!”

Wu Yizhou returned the favor with confidence, "Don't worry, handsome man! I will take Liu Xiang's head back and show you!"

Liu Pei nodded and said, "Okay, be careful of everything!"

Wu Yizhou boarded the ship with confidence and led the fleet to turn to the sea. Liu Pei will lead the second fleet to set off in two hours. They will swim in the waters between Taiwan and Kinmen and intercept the Netherlands fleet!

After a period of sailing, Wu Yizhou's fleet finally approached Coro Bay. At this time, it was dark and dawn. Wu Yizhou's flagship was brightly lit. He looked at the charts, and there were constant messengers around him passing messages to the staff, and then they summed them up and reported to Wu Yizhou.

Wu Yizhou had just heard the last report. He knocked on the chart with satisfaction and said, "It's very good! We are close to the target. It's still the southeast wind, and the wind direction is good for us! Order the Second Squadron and the First Squadron to merge command and hand it over to the flagship. The Third Squadron continued to sail south and attacked Liu Xiang's fleet from the side and rear after the battle began."

The staff officer recorded Wu Yizhou's orders and went out to convey them. When he pushed open the cabin door that day, a ray of morning sunlight shone in, and everything inside the ship building was covered with a golden light! Wu Yizhou knew that he could no longer hide himself at this time, and he was about to be discovered by the enemy.

So Wu Yizhou immediately pulled over a staff officer next to him and said, "Immediately notify all the fleet to prepare breakfast. In half an hour, the fleet will accelerate and head straight to Coro Bay."

The staff officer excitedly agreed to send an order. A war will begin!

As expected, as Wu Yizhou expected, not long after the fleet resumed its normal speed, a thick black smoke pillar rose from Kinmen Island and penetrated into the sky! Wu Yizhou looked at the smoke pillar and knew that his fleet had been discovered by the other party.
Chapter completed!
