As soon as Yang Xianxian sent out the flying talisman, the two sides started shooting at each other. Because Yanji was blocked by the ship, the Fuzhou could only fire a row of French crossbows from the upper deck, smashing the tower and mast of the dragon gun ship into pieces.
Yin Shunlong stood on the bow of the ship and fired the crossbow himself. His speed alone was equivalent to that of two gun groups. He fired two crossbows in a very short period of time. One of them broke the main mast of the Fuzhou, and the other broke off the main mast of the Fuzhou.
The French crossbow heavy artillery was thrown into the sea, and three members of the artillery crew were killed on the spot.
Yang Xianxian knew how good he was at gunnery and did not dare to let him continue to fire the crossbow. With a flick of his toe, two steel knives on the deck slashed Yin Shunlong directly.
Yin Shunlong had no choice but to put down the heavy French crossbow in his hand, and slapped the steel knife away with both hands.
Taking this opportunity, Yang Xianxian jumped onto the Dragon Cannon ship, and the seventh team also rushed forward with the dare team.
Yin Zhanlong bared his teeth and smiled: "Baiban boy, it turns out to be you!"
Yang Xianxian replied: "Do you dare to fight again?"
Yin Zhanlong looked up to the sky and laughed: "I could beat you six years ago, so why should I be afraid today! Come, come, let's see what new questions you come up with!"
Yang Xianxian knocked on the whiteboard and began to ask Yin Shunlong to choose a topic.
…
It is said that the squadron commander Xiao Shan received the flying talisman, identified it clearly at the hatch, and immediately reported to Huang Bingyue: "General Counsel Huang, this is Xiao Shan. I found the ship of Yin Zhanlong, one of the four generals of Ling'ao Island, and confirmed that the third squadron is
The main attack direction of the pirates is requesting reinforcements!"
After Huang Bingyue received the report, he no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the mobile fleet to continue marching north, passing the navy division's blueprint operations, and trying to reach the northwest entrance, and then find a way to locate it.
More than an hour later, according to the speed of travel, they should have arrived at the northwest entrance guarded by the Third Squadron, but there was no sound, indicating that they must have deviated from the direction.
There were ropes on the boats, and the ropes of several boats were taken out immediately. Everyone worked together to knot two long ropes about a mile long. Two patrol boats were released, one heading north and one heading south, towing
The rope was traveling at the forefront, but the Third Squadron was still not found.
Huang Bingyue gave Xiaoshan a flying talisman and asked him to find a way to send a fire talisman into the sky, the higher the better. Xiaoshan quickly replied that he had done so, but the mobile fleet still couldn't see any light.
Xiao Shan fired a few more Thunder Talisman, but Huang Bingyue also didn't hear any movement. This also showed that the direction the mobile fleet deviated was not as optimistic as they thought.
Just when Huang Bingyue was at a loss, the monks from the Apparition Palace who accompanied the army made a suggestion to Huang Bingyue: Divide the mobile team into two groups, one group continues forward, and the other group goes to the right. After driving for two moments, they group again into the same group.
Go to the front group to the right, and after two moments, group into the third group, and then group into the fourth group.
When all ships move forward at a speed of three ten minutes, they can ensure that the entire sea area within an area of 18 miles in front and to the right will be explored within an hour.
The monk started working on the paper with a pen, and recorded a number at each turning point of the grouping. The forward ship route occupied numbers one to sixteen, and the right ship route occupied the following numbers, until thirty-two positions were marked.
"We now have thirty-one ships, but it doesn't matter. In fact, the number one position and the ship moving forward will turn back to the starting point, so they can be ignored. Send the numbered position to each ship, and each ship will know how to move.
It is very clear which position we are at. Once we discover the Third Squadron, we will immediately report its location to you, such as between positions six and seven. In this way, everyone can determine the general direction.
."
Huang Bingyue's eyes lit up, and he immediately adopted it. While letting people fly the talisman to each ship, he looked at him. Perhaps because he got a good idea and felt comfortable, he felt that this young monk had a humble attitude and handsome appearance, just like a piece of gentle and pure skin.
Meiyu then asked: "Which monk are you from and what is your name?"
The monk said: "Reporting to Master Huang, I am Jingyi from Xiaoyao's family in Zhejiang."
Bingyue praised: "I've heard that you are worthy of a virtuous family. When did you join the army?"
Xiaoyaojing said: "Xiao Ke is working in Xianling Palace. He is preparing to take up the post of Nanxiang Island Temple Celebrant. He was recruited by Chen Shuai along with the Hongyuan ship and has not yet taken up his post."
Huang Bingyue understood that this person was from the Sanqing Pavilion system and was sent abroad, so he encouraged: "After the war, I will write to your Tangyuan envoy to ask for credit for you!"
According to this set of numbering methods, the mobile fleet immediately began to group up, strictly followed the three-tenths speed change, and grouped up again every two quarters.
After the third grouping, the frigate Shangyuan sent a flying talisman: "We have found the fighting area. It should be in front of position 15. We can hear the shouts of killing and are rushing over!"
Huang Bingyue was overjoyed and immediately flew all the ships to move towards position 15. At the same time, he asked the Shangyuan ship to stand by when it arrived at position 15, and wait for the other ships to arrive and concentrate their strength to join the battlefield.
The actual position was about nine miles away from the first grouping point. This shows how far the mobile fleet had deviated at that time. Now that it had a clear direction, the ships accelerated their gathering, and they gathered at position 15 two moments later.
Loud sounds of fierce fighting could be heard here. Huang Bingyue judged that the battlefield was one mile ahead on the left, so he ordered all ships to reduce their speed, surround them from the outside, and penetrate directly behind the pirates.
In the naval battle on May 17, the Third Squadron held out for two hours in a boarding battle during the breakout of the main force of the pirates. At the critical moment, valuable reinforcements arrived.
After surviving the night with the support of the fresh force of the mobile fleet, early the next morning, after the thick fog dissipated, the First Squadron and the Second Squadron simultaneously sent out a large number of reinforcements to attack the main force of the pirates from both wings.
After suffering a terrifying mana attack from battleships, heavy destroyers and frigates, the main force of the pirates who suffered heavy losses had to flee back to the central atoll in Zhongkui Island in embarrassment.
The number of enemies destroyed in this battle was counted twice. The first time was in the afternoon after the battle. The count showed that about fifty enemy ships were sunk, eighty-three were captured, and one thousand three were killed.
From one hundred to one thousand eight hundred men, 2200 of the enemy were captured.
The second count was carried out three days later. Seven more ships were sunk, twenty-nine pirate ships were captured that ran aground or ran aground nearby, and more than a thousand prisoners were captured.
According to the two counts of the Infinite Rosette and the White Jade Golden-billed Crane in the air, the total number of pirate fleets at the central atoll dropped to 421.
After comparison, it was found that about thirty to forty pirate ships were missing or took advantage of the fog that day to escape.
Fortunately, according to the prisoners' confessions, they saw Taoist Wutong and Zhang Zheng retreat into Zhongkui Island with their own eyes, but Taoist Qingshan could not confirm it.
One of the great gains of this battle was the capture of nine people on the "Island Owners Alliance List", the most famous of which were Yin Shunlong and Dana Yan, and six others were killed.
The list continued to shrink from this, leaving only twelve people.
ps: Congratulations to Amber Creek for winning the prize in the event initiated by Linghu Taozu. Today is an important day for Amber Creek. Why is it important? Taoist Babao pinched his fingers and didn’t calculate it. He specially sent a title blessing. What blessing, it’s the same.
Calculate it. This chapter consumes one talisman that Linghu Taozu owes.
