Chapter 121 The tigress of Cao Cao’s family (please order first)

The news that Yongzhou Navy is about to go to Nanyang is no secret to the middle and senior generals of the Han army.

After hearing the news, Momotaro and Abe had different reactions.

According to the previous agreement, Peach County was established based on the Peach Tribe's territory in northern Kansai. Momotaro voluntarily handed over military power and became the first county governor.

Unlike Momotaro, who returned home in glory and became a local emperor, the fisherman Abe is eager to go further.

Therefore, Abe proposed to Jian Yong that he was willing to lead his army south to help the war and expand territory for Jinwu.

Since most of the core members of Abe's team were skilled fishermen, Jian Yong reorganized them into a Japanese navy and allocated one warship and two paddle-wheel cargo ships, commanded by Mi Fang.

Abbe was amazed by the high speed and high attack power of the three-masted battleship "Sunrise Dongfang", and was once again in awe of the power of the Han army.

Mi Fang pointed to the eastern coast at the junction of Sanhan, Goguryeo and Liaodong, and said to Abe: "It is said that the remaining pirates of Yamatai are hiding near here. After destroying them, we will go to Nanyang."

Abe understood and wanted to join the Yongzhou Navy, so this group of pirates voted for him.

He even suspected that if this battle didn't go well, he would be reduced to a second-rate army and wouldn't even be able to drink soup in Nanyang.

What's more, in the final decisive battle at Yamatai, he was the only one who suffered a disastrous defeat, and was in urgent need of a turnaround to clear his name.

"Commander, the last general is incompetent, but he is willing to take the lead!"

Mi Fang laughed and said: "Okay! I will beat the drum to cheer you up!"

Three days later, the entire Yongzhou Navy dispatched five warships and ten transport ships to surround the target sea area.

Even Qiu Liju mobilized five thousand troops to cooperate from the ground, determined to completely encircle and annihilate this cunning group of Japanese pirates.

As the Yongzhou Navy tightened its encirclement, the Japanese pirates obviously realized that their lair had been discovered and had no choice but to fight on the mainland.

More than thirty ships, large and small, rushed out of the bay covered by dense forests, aiming directly at Abe's "Sunrise Oriental".

In naval operations, bows and crossbows are given priority. If you want to quickly defeat enemy ships, fire attack is the most effective method.

As a result, three small boats loaded with fire starters collided with each other at high speed.

Abe is indeed an old fisherman, and his time calculation is extremely accurate.

The four paddle wheels rotated rapidly, and the sixteen long oars slapped the water surface in unison, using the "dragon tail swing" forcefully to get out of the opponent's attack range.

The two ballistas at the bow and stern fired without missing a beat, easily destroying three suicide boats that were emitting fireworks.

The start went smoothly, and the Yongzhou Navy became more confident and began to work together to encircle and annihilate the Japanese pirates.

Nearly half of the small pirate ships were sunk or captured, leaving more than ten large ships still trying to escape.

Unfortunately, the weather failed, and the battle was calm until noon.

Facing the new warships equipped with fast sails, paddle wheels and long oars, pirate ships that can only row are like clumsy turtles.

The Yongzhou Navy, headed by five warships, was like five sharks, freely shuttled among the pirate ships. Waves of arrows and crossbows hit the pirate ships with heavy casualties.

In the end, the Japanese pirate leader had to issue an order to disperse and run away.

However, the ten surrounding transport ships also have a certain degree of lethality, so none of them slipped through the net.

The sun turned west, and most of the pirate ships either surrendered or sank to the bottom of the sea. On the sea, only the pirate leader's ship was still stubbornly resisting.

Abe saw the opportunity, got close to him, fired his barbed crossbow, and took control of the paddle-wheel ship manufactured by Kuaiji Shipyard that had been seized by pirates.

"Jump into gang war!"

Abe gave an order, and more than fifty sailors wore only crotch cloths, daggers in their teeth, and swing ropes, ready to go.

The other sailors were holding crossbows and killing the pirates on the opposite side one by one.

The pirates who were passively beaten were scattered and hiding. They could not jump to join because the deck of the battleship was much higher and they could not jump on.

When the ships came together, Abe immediately shouted: "Jump!"

"Hoo ho ho!"

Dozens of figures jumped up from the battleship, swung on ropes, and landed on the pirate ship.

The Japanese sailors rolled and landed on the deck, then clenched the daggers in their mouths and started fighting hand-to-hand with the remaining pirates in groups.

Those pirates hiding in blind corners can no longer hide.

Seeing that the situation was not good, some abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and some jumped into the sea. Only the pirate leader, who was fully armored, charged left and right with a long knife, cutting down several people one after another.

"Ahhh! Kill, kill, kill!"

Abe, who was on the warship, couldn't help but remind him loudly: "Use a net!"

No matter how fierce the thief is, he is no match for a fishing net.

Sure enough, a sailor pulled a thick net and threw it at the pirate leader.

These fishermen are unparalleled in their skills in using nets. No matter how hard the pirate leader dodges, the fishing nets will cover him.

Four or five sailors swarmed up, pushed the opponent down, and stabbed him randomly, breaking all the tendons and hamstrings of the opponent.

Post-war statistics showed that nearly a thousand pirates were killed, more than 600 were captured, and the Japanese pirate leader Black Teeth Yuichi was captured.

At this point, the strongest Japanese pirates scurrying around the East Sea with Sanhan were wiped out.

As the Sunrise Oriental that had been leading the charge, Abe suffered the most losses, with more than 20 people killed and more than 50 injured.

Mi Fang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done, you pick first among all the seizures."

Abe's face turned from sunny to cloudy. It is said that the goods stolen by Black Teeth totaled two hundred thousand taels. Including the captured ships, there were one or two hundred thousand taels.

According to the regulations on seizure distribution, Zhijinwu took half, Yongzhou Navy took the remaining half, and the rest was divided equally among the soldiers.

This means that the five warships are divided into 100,000 taels of silver, the Japanese navy can be divided into 20,000 taels of silver, and they can get 10,000 taels.

As for the pensions for the injured and injured sailors, they are allocated from special funds of the Yongzhou Navy, and Abe does not have to pay for them.

What a good deal!

The Yongzhou Navy returned to the Fujun Military Port in Jiuzhou to replenish personnel and supplies. Amidst the sound of the horn, the Yongzhou Navy sailed directly south to Kuaiji.

At Kuaiji Military Port, Zhang Chengzheng received the Royal Navy Commander Gan Da, Ji Ling and his party.

Qiao Rui, the naval commander of the Royal Navy, chose to stay behind because he was old and could not bear the bumps of the waves.

Seeing the Jinfan thief disembarking, Zhang Cheng smiled and bowed his hands: "Meeting him is even more famous! Zhang, on behalf of all the colleagues on the SF Express, would like to thank Governor Gan for his continued mercy."

The scale of water transport on the SF Express is not large, but when traveling up and down the Yangtze River, I have heard the name of the Jinfan Thief, but I have never encountered it. It is definitely not lucky.

Gan Ning was inherently smart and courageous, and he knew who he could mess with and whom he couldn't mess with. Therefore, even if he was eyeing the SF cargo ship, he would stay away from it.

Today's Zhang Cheng's status is not as high as usual, and ordinary county guards are polite.

Therefore, Gan Ning, who is less than 20 years old, is basically a junior, and it is okay to make a joke or two.

Gan Ning laughed loudly and said: "Young Master Ning's careless nonsense made Director Zhang laugh. This time I have been assigned by General Fubo to contact you. Please give me some advice."

Ji Ling also raised his hand in greeting, and then asked: "I wonder when General Mi will arrive?"

Zhang Cheng thought for a while and replied: "If nothing happens, within three days. Oh, by the way, General Cai He returned from Jiaozhi yesterday and will introduce it to you later."

Ji Ling knew that Cai He was from the Cai family in Xiangyang and was the naval commander of the Badi boss Cao Cao.

This time, the three companies jointly marched into Nanyang. The strength of the Badi Navy was second only to the Yongzhou Navy, and Yongba generally wore crotchless pants.

Gan Ning and Ji Ling looked at each other and both knew what was going on.

Are you going to fight a tough battle? The Royal Navy is definitely not as good as the other two, so you have to maintain your face.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

Cai He, who was in a dark circle, was carefully inspecting the warship when he saw a subordinate hurriedly ran onto the ship.
