Chapter 1944: The Denglai Navy was attacked (the last chapter is Chapter 1943)

"Observe the wind direction and catch up."

Seeing that there was a chance to defeat the Ming Navy, Zheng Chao was not willing to let the navy in front of him easily, and immediately ordered the fleet to chase the Ming Navy who wanted to retreat.

Ships with the tiger flag are mainly soft sails, and the speed at sea is faster than the hard sails used by Ming naval ships, unless the wind direction is not conducive to pursuing enemy ships.

However, Zheng Chao was very lucky, and the wind direction was very suitable for the victorious side to pursue.

Warships with the tiger flag hung sails, speeding up the warships' speed at sea.

When the Ming Navy ships came, they were in the wind and had to travel against the wind if they wanted to escape the battlefield on the sea. They had no advantage in speed, and the disadvantage of speed became even greater under the wind.

Woo! Woo!

A whimper suddenly came from the sea, followed by the roar of ships and cannons. The direction of the guns was exactly the direction where the Ming army navy fled.

"Go and check what's going on?" The sudden sound of cannons made Zheng Chao murmur in his heart. In addition to their tiger-flag ships and the Ming army navy, he didn't remember any other maritime forces in this sea area.

The messenger ran away to inquire about the situation of the flag soldiers on the watchtower.

After a while, he ran back with a look of excitement and said, "General, he is the commander of the Ming army's navy. The way back of the Ming army's navy was blocked by the ship brought back by the commander."

"Send the order to accelerate the marching." Zheng Chao realized the opportunity to annihilate the Ming Navy and immediately ordered his warships to approach the Ming Navy.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

After the ship led by Zheng Chao caught up, he took off his attacking posture, and one cannon of the Ming army's navy in front of him began to bombard the ships of the Ming army in front.

The head of the Ming Navy, who was besieged at the sea, no longer wanted to fight, but was determined to escape from this sea area and take the navy back to Denglai.

However, the direction to Denglai was blocked, and the Ming Navy General had to take various ships around Pi Island and retreat towards Tieshan.

The Ming army had more than a hundred large and small ships, and less than half of the ships that escaped were left, most of which were injured and could not continue to go to sea to fight.

As the victorious side, the tiger-flag warship began to salvage naval officers and soldiers who fell into the sea at sea, and sent them to Pi Island with the captured ships.

The sound of artillery in the naval battle can not only be heard by people on Pi Island, but also by Tieshan opposite Pi Island, they also heard the sound of artillery that lasted for a long time on the sea.

"It's so fucking bad luck. Even food doesn't make people feel at ease." Mao Wenlong spat on the ground fiercely.

Now everything the tiger flag did on Pi Island made him feel uncomfortable.

Chen Zhong, wearing armor, walked in from outside with a big stride.

"Mr. Supervisor, something is wrong. The sound of cannons does not seem to be coming from Pi Island, but it sounds more like it comes from the sea!" Chen Zhong said with a frown.

Hearing this, Mao Wenlong's hand with chopsticks hung in the air, turned his head and asked, "How long has the news that the court sent the Denglai Navy to support us have been sent?"

"It's not too short, and the time is calculated, the Denglai Naval Master should be coming soon." As soon as Chen Zhong finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, and he looked at Mao Wenlong with horror and said, "Is the previous cannon sound because the Denglai Naval Master and the ship with the tiger flag met on the sea?"

Mao Wenlong said in the direction of the chopsticks in his hand: "Don't be anxious first. Even if the Denglai Navy encounters a ship with the tiger flag, it is not certain who wins or loses."

"Yes, yes, yes, since the imperial court sent the Denglai Naval Master to deal with them, it is definitely certain that the navy has already climbed Pi Island by now." Chen Zhong said comfortingly.

Mao Wenlong asked: "Is there any movement on Pi Island?"

"Not found yet." Chen Zhong shook his head gently and said, "I will send someone to the Peach Island to investigate the situation."

Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "You go and arrange it. If the Denglai Navy really arrives, find a way to contact them."

"I'll make arrangements for this." Chen Zhong agreed and turned around and walked out.

If the Denglai Navy really arrived, he would also want to know the result of the naval battle with the Tiger Flag warship.

"General, the Denglai Naval Division is too disregarded by our Dongjiang Town. Since it has arrived, we should send someone to notify us anyway, so that we can cooperate with our Dongjiang Town to recover Pi Island." Mao Dusi picked up the wine pot and poured wine for Mao Wenlong, while complaining about the Denglai Naval Division in his mouth.

Mao Wenlong picked up the wine glass and said to himself: "Who told us that Dongjiang Town is not welcomed? There is no one in the court who speaks for Dongjiang Town. From the capital to Jiliao, everyone thought Dongjiang Town was a piece of fat, but who knew how bitter I had been for so many years?"

He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go.

"The eunuch party in the court is now very powerful, otherwise we will find a way to get along with the nine thousand years old? I heard that Yuan Futai built a sacred temple in order to please the nine thousand years old." Mao Dusi said.

Mao Wenlong's mouth twitched when he heard this.

It takes a lot of money to build a sacred temple. Now Dongjiang Town has lost Pi Island and has also lost the wealth accumulated over the years. Not to mention building a sacred temple, even the soldiers and horses here in Tieshan are almost unable to support it.

Bang!

The door of the house was knocked open from outside. Chen Zhong, who had just left, walked in quickly and said anxiously: "Supervisor, the Denglai Navy has arrived."

“Where?”

When Mao Wenlong heard that the Denglai Navy arrived, he suddenly stood up from his seat.

Chen Zhong said: "It is approaching Tieshan, and the ship has been arranged to greet me. Finally, I will come back first to inform the Supervisor."

"How many ships have come?" Mao Wenlong asked.

Chen Zhong said: "There are almost dozens of ships, and the specific number will be known until the docking."

"The Denglai Navy has more than these ships, why did he come so much?" Mao Wenlong said in a bad tone.

Mao Dusi on the side interrupted and said, "The previous naval battle should be a battle between the Denglai Navy and the Tiger Flag. Maybe the Denglai Navy has divided some ships to the Peel Island and is ready to take down Peel Island in one go."

"Hmph, the soldiers on the island with the tiger flag are not that easy to deal with. Without our help, the Denglai Naval Division would suffer if they could not handle it well." Mao Wenlong was dissatisfied with the Denglai Naval Division's failure to contact Dongjiang Town, and chose to use troops alone with Pidao.

Once Pidao is taken down by the Denglai Navy himself, his Dongjiang Town Lord will be of serious use in the eyes of the court, and he may even be held accountable and imprisoned by the court on the grounds that Pidao was thrown away from him.

Chen Zhong looked at Mao Wenlong and said, "The tiger flag ship had transported away some of the troops on the island. Now the troops on the Pi Island are not as strong as the first time, and the ships are nearly half smaller."
