Chapter 677 Dongming Ziyu must have done it
The fifth prince was currently standing on the warship, observing the sea ahead with a telescope.
Wearing a suit of armor on his body, he looked extraordinarily brave. It was his first time to participate in such a battle, which made him very excited.
The warship was a pirate ship captured from Japanese pirates. After improvements, the gun tower was changed into an upper and lower floor. The outside of the ship was also covered with a layer of iron sheet to not only protect against arrows, but also against firecrackers and cannonballs.
Behind the warship are renovated official ships and many small boats used to transport food. It is more time-consuming and labor-intensive to transport the Japanese pirates' food separately than to load them all into large ships.
Dongming Ziyu brought 4,000 elite soldiers this time, including his personal guards. The worst was one against ten masters.
Suddenly, a white homing pigeon landed on the side of the ship through the rain and fog.
Mo Wen stepped forward, took the pigeon, took off the bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg, poured out the note inside, looked at it, and nodded to Dongming Ziyu.
"Is it the internal agent on the island?" The fifth prince saw through the telescope that the carrier pigeon was flying from the direction of Treasure Island.
Dongming Ziyu nodded, "Everything is under control, but we can't take it lightly."
The fifth prince nodded, looked at the rain that was getting heavier, and frowned, "Will the rain get heavier?"
Dongming Ziyu said: "It won't be too big. Although it is inconvenient if it rains, the enemy's alertness will be lower."
They set off at dusk, and the fleet sailed into the deep sea, and night fell. Under the cover of the rainy night, a large ship and a group of small boats disappeared into the vast night like ghosts.
At the same time, a homing pigeon took off from Nan'an County and flew to Treasure Island.
The leader of the Japanese pirates is not without brains. His name is Ichiro Watanabe. He is an ambitious general from the Eastern Kingdom and is determined to let his country capture the entire Canglan Continent.
On the order of the Emperor, he led his fleet across the ocean and came to the coast of the Canglan Continent. What he did was burn, kill, and plunder. Whether he encountered fishing boats or landed ashore, he burned, killed, and robbed them all.
Ichiro Watanabe knew that in order to occupy a place, he had to make use of the local people. So after occupying the treasure island, he bribed the Dongming people to do work for them. Even though he didn't understand the language, he secretly colluded with the petty officials in Nan'an County.
He had known about Dongming Ziyu's arrival for a long time. He had also inquired about Dongming Ziyu and knew how powerful he was, so he did not dare to take it lightly.
After two warships were destroyed and one was taken away by Dongming Ziyu, he became even more energetic.
As long as Dongming Ziyu's army takes action, the clerk will send out doves to notify him.
However, Dongming Ziyu has been in Nan'an County for a month, and he still only operates in places close to Nan'an County, except for training troops and building ships.
When Ichiro Watanabe got the news, it was funny that Dongming Ziyu had no ship!
We came to exterminate the pirates, but there were no ships or naval forces available!
Ichiro Watanabe was about to burst out laughing. Is this Dongming kidding?
For a while, Ichiro Watanabe relaxed his vigilance against Dongming Ziyu, feeling that Dongming people would brag about their vast land and rich resources. Dongming didn't even have a navy or warships, so how could they talk about being strong?
?
When the flying pigeon arrived, Ichiro Watanabe was blindfolded and playing the game of "Come after me, and I'll let you have sex if I catch you" with his concubines.
The man with pigtails and trousers took off the paper from the pigeon, came over with small steps, and bowed deeply, "General..."
"Oh! General!" A beautiful woman wearing Dongming clothes and speaking Dongming language tugged on Ichiro Watanabe's sleeve and spun her into Ichiro Watanabe's arms.
With Wen Xiang Nephrite in his arms, Ichiro Watanabe laughed loudly, "Caught! Caught! Let me see who it is?"
The beauty leaned on Ichiro Watanabe's arms, and the softness rubbed against his body.
This beauty was a concubine that his men snatched from a Dongming merchant's house. She was beautiful, fair-skinned, plump and charming, and knew how to have fun. She was much more interesting than other Dongming women who could only cry.
.
"Hey! The flower girl is there! Come on! Hey hey hey!" Ichiro Watanabe lifted up the beauty's skirt. His heart was seduced by this beauty and he couldn't put it down.
Holding the letter, his men were anxious and pulled the beauty out of Ichiro Watanabe's arms.
Ichiro Watanabe thought that the beauty was playing with him, so he raised his arms to hug her, but he hugged his hand and tried to kiss her with his mouth open.
His men looked away with a shit-eating expression.
With a "chirp", Ichiro Watanabe kissed his subordinate firmly on the face.
The men almost vomited, and the concubines on the side were laughing so hard that they couldn't stand up straight.
Ichiro Watanabe felt that the taste was not right, so he pulled down the cloth covering his face. When he saw that it was his subordinate with a mustache, he immediately pushed him away and turned away, "Bah, bah, bah!"
The subordinate sent the flying pigeon letter with an aggrieved look on his face, "General, letter!"
Ichiro Watanabe took the letter and opened it reluctantly. He leaned in front of the candle and took a look, his face changed drastically: "Baga! Dongming Ziyu has gone to sea! Prepare for war!"
Although Ichiro Watanabe was shocked, he did not panic. He was also a general with real materials. He thought quickly and immediately summoned his men, found a map, and made deployment.
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, the house shook back and forth, and the dust and tiles on the roof fell.
"What's going on?" Ichiro Watanabe held onto the table to steady his body, his face was horrified, and he already had a guess in his mind.
Sure enough, someone came to report, "The warehouse where gunpowder and artillery shells were placed exploded!"
Ichiro Watanabe punched the table, "Baga! It must have been Dongming Ziyu who did it!"
Without gunpowder and cannonballs, their blunderbuss and artillery are just decorations!
His most advantageous advantage is gone!
Ichiro Watanabe took out the Japanese sword from his waist, "Let's go! Go meet that God of War Prince Dongming Ziyu!"
Go out and gather the troops in the courtyard.
"Whoops!" A feather arrow shot out and hit the sentry on the watchtower. The sentry fell from the watchtower without even making a sound.
Ichiro Watanabe's expression became serious when he heard the sound of fighting coming from outside.
What's going on? How did Dongming Ziyu come here? There were warships patrolling the seaside, but they didn't find them?
He led his men out of the station and found dozens of men in black fighting with his soldiers.
The man in black is obviously a master, he can cut off the heads of three or four of his soldiers with one sword.
Nonsense, can people in dark areas be bad?
"Give it a kill! Fire the gun!" Ichiro Watanabe ordered.
Although the gunpowder magazine was bombed, the soldiers still had enough for daily use.
The subordinates were confused: "But our people are fighting with the Dongming people. If we fire guns, we will hurt our own people!"
Watanabe Ichiro couldn't care so much anymore. The opponent was obviously very skilled in martial arts and he was determined not to let them have the chance to get close to him!
Then, the sound of "bang bang" shooting sounded.
Chapter completed!
