Many soldiers stood at the bow of the ship, holding weapons in their right hands and holding on to the side of the ship with their left hands.
Looking at the vast and bottomless sea water, many soldiers' faces turned pale for a while.
Han Chong stood on the deck, looking at the faces of the soldiers, and felt worried for no reason.
The soldiers are all like this now. If there really is a fight, are we really the opponents of the Japanese ronin?
The next-level warships soon arrived on the sea, and Han Chong saw Zhao Chen's warships drifting away from a distance.
He plunged into the depths of the sea without looking back.
The sails were raised high and sailed along with the wind, traveling thousands of miles.
telescope?
Han Chong touched his waist, carefully held it in his hand, put one end in front of his eyes, and looked into the distance with the other end.
I saw that the main battleship that was about to disappear appeared clearly in front of me again.
He even saw Zhao Chen standing on the deck holding a compass on the main battleship.
When he took back the telescope, he could only vaguely see the black shadow of the main battleship.
What a divine thing.
No wonder His Royal Highness the King of Han is so favored by His Majesty.
Han Chong sighed inwardly and couldn't help but admire Zhao Chen's talent.
Just such a simple thing can allow him to see things that are out of reach.
If he hadn't used it himself once, he would never believe it was true.
…
Zhao Chen didn't know what Han Chong was thinking.
But those are not important.
Zhao Chenshu stood on the deck with an expressionless face, following the main battleship as it sailed towards the depths of the sea.
About an hour later, the vast ocean was everywhere you could see.
They have completely left the scope of Quanzhou Port.
This sea area is where the Japanese wanderers usually live.
Now they may encounter the Japanese wanderers wandering here at any time.
"Li Ke, let everyone be alert." Zhao Chen shouted to Li Ke who turned pale.
Li Ke felt a little seasick.
I don’t know how he will realize his dream of sailing around the world in the future.
"Brother Emperor, aren't you feeling uncomfortable?" Li Ke looked embarrassed. He thought he was not seasick, but as the ship left the port, he fell first.
On the other hand, Zhao Chen had nothing wrong with him.
"Just get used to it." Zhao Chen pressed the acupuncture points on Li Ke's head with his fingers, and Li Ke's complexion recovered after a while.
"Damn it, Brother Emperor, why didn't you tell me this in advance? I almost vomited to death just now." Li Ke complained.
"From now on, you kid..."
"Your Highness, in the north-east direction of my warship, more than ten ships of more than 30 meters long appeared. There are no flags hanging on them. I don't know whose ship they are."
Before Zhao Chen finished speaking, a Xuanjia Army soldier hurried over.
Without arguing with Li Ke, Zhao Chen immediately came to the side of the ship. Visible to the naked eye, there were indeed more than ten ships appearing in the northeast.
They did not fly merchant flags, nor did they see rows of merchandise.
Obviously, these ships are not ordinary merchant ships.
Taking out the remaining telescope, Zhao Chen could clearly see that the ships in the distance were filled with Japanese ronin with short stature and fierce expressions.
They stared intently at their warship, as if they wanted to devour themselves.
"Japanese Ronin!" Zhao Chen's words immediately made everyone's hearts tense.
They had just set out to sea when they encountered Japanese rogues.
This is really too fast.
The people in Quanzhou City have sold them too thoroughly.
"You met a Japanese rogue so soon?"
"These guys are not waiting for us here specifically!"
"They have more than a dozen ships, but we only have one. Will this..."
"Li Ke, send the order!" Zhao Chen interrupted the panicked people.
Li Ke immediately ran to Zhao Chen and waited for Zhao Chen's instructions.
"The archers on the port side are ready, the pikemen on the starboard side are ready."
"The warship sailed at full speed and ran over them." Zhao Chen ordered.
"Yes!" Even though he didn't understand the meaning of Zhao Chen's order, Li Ke agreed without hesitation.
Archers and pikemen will be ready soon.
However, there were only thirty people on each side of the ship.
In the end, these thirty people stayed with Zhao Chen.
The warship turned around and headed northeast.
It looked like it was about to knock over the opposite ship.
The Japanese wanderers on the ships in the distance also saw the Tang warships charging towards them from a distance.
The Japanese rogues, who originally thought that dealing with the Tang Dynasty warship in front of them was just a casual matter, were also confused.
From the beginning, they saw only one warship appearing in their ambush circle, thinking that they could easily kill the legendary King Han of the Tang Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, the Tang Dynasty battlefield went crazy and rushed towards them.
What is this for?
Are you going to die with them?
Although there were no serious warships in the Tang Dynasty, even the warships converted from merchant ships were not comparable to the small wooden rafts of the Japanese prodigals.
If it were pressed up, their raft would immediately sink into the sea.
The Japanese rogues who originally wanted to chase and intercept the Tang warship immediately dispersed when they saw the Tang warship rushing toward them without hesitation.
They all used up all their energy to feed themselves, rowing boats and escaping to the side.
"Brother, are these the Japanese ronin? They just look like trash." Li Ke stood on the deck, looking at the Japanese ronin frantically running for their lives in the distance, his face full of disdain.
"Don't underestimate them. The Japanese will either kill them all or beat them up completely."
"Otherwise, one day they will bite you in the back." Zhao Chen's expression was cold, which made Li Ke look a little strange.
This was the first time that Li Ke saw Zhao Chen exuding such strong murderous aura.
But as far as Li Ke knew, Zhao Chen didn't seem to have any grudges against the Japanese.
It's just that Li Ke won't ask these questions at this time.
The warships were getting closer and closer to the ships of the Japanese rogues.
Li Ke had even seen clearly the appearance of the Japanese prodigal.
These Japanese rogues were short in stature.
Li Ke estimated that when they stood up, they only reached as far as his shoulders.
Moreover, each of them had horrible faces, disgusting looks, and only half of the hair on their heads was left.
It looks very weird.
Just taking one look at it made Li Ke feel sick in his heart.
"Archer, shoot the arrow." Zhao Chen's voice interrupted Li Ke's thoughts.
Thirty archers fired like rain of arrows at the fleeing Japanese ship in the distance.
Many Japanese rogues who had no time to escape were shot by arrows on the spot and fell down in the vast ocean.
However, the thirty archers were obviously insufficient, and the Japanese Ronin only had one warship, and all the people were killed or injured.
When other Japanese warships saw the Tang warship slowly coming to a stop, they all surrounded it.
