Text Chapter 984 The Battle of Amami Island (10)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The warships under Zhao Hongyu are very fast, especially when they are at full power.

    Wind power and propellers made warships faster than any other type of ship seen in this era.

    Since leaving Nagasaki, Li Xiang has been constantly shocked by the surprises brought by the imperial battleships.

    And the three Ming-style warships he brought had to be tied up by several cables because their speed was too slow.  Let the empire's warships lead the voyage. After all, this is the only way to avoid slowing down the entire fleet.

    In this way, Li Xiang returned to the waters of Amami Island less than ten hours after leaving Nagasaki.  This was a little more than three times faster than the usual time, and Li Xiang was really shocked.

    He could never imagine that there were such fast warships in this world. This was completely beyond his expectation.

    But when Li Xiang looked back and thought about it, he felt very happy.

    After all, he has now defected to the Song Empire in America, and is getting along well with the crown prince.  After having some contact with him in Nagasaki, Li Xiang felt that Zhao Hongyu was a very approachable person and easy to get along with.

    At the same time, he was also appointed as the Admiral of the Kyushu Navy, which is an official title comparable to that of the Fujian Army General.

    "Zheng Zhilong is nothing more than that. What else does he, Li Xiang, not want to be satisfied with?"

    ¡°Besides, the crown prince promised him that he would hand over the forty-nine imperial warships in Nagasaki to him to lead.  In other words, in the future, his subordinates will all have this kind of fleet with many artillery, large hulls, fast speed, and elite sailors.

    Ha ha!

    Li Xiang even imagined that after having such an elite fleet, does he still need to be afraid of Zheng Zhilong?

    When the time comes, it would be a good thing if he doesn¡¯t go to trouble Zheng Zhilong. If Zheng Zhilong takes the initiative to come to trouble him, he is really looking for death.

    Overall, Li Xiang was in a good mood along the way.

    At the same time, because he will return to Amami Island soon.

    So, he feels really comfortable in his heart now.

    This time he went to Nagasaki and found a good escape route for his brothers. He thought that after announcing it back and forth, the brothers would definitely be very happy.

    But when he was about to return to Amami Island with his fleet, he discovered something was wrong.

    His nephew Yang Biao discovered it early, and plumes of black smoke appeared at the southern end of Amami Island.

    This is strange.

    Is there a fire on Amami Island?

    Thinking about it, it shouldn¡¯t be possible, because there are no trees on Amami Island at all, and even if there is some vegetation, it is impossible to burn it like this.

    Then, there is only one possibility, naval battle!

    A possibility flashed through Li Xiang¡¯s mind.

    Could it be that Zheng Zhilong¡¯s people came to kill him.

    Li Xiang couldn't help but trembled when she thought of such a situation.

    "Biaozi!"

    "Uncle, I'm here."

    Yang Biao was standing next to Li Xiang. He found that his uncle suddenly became a little panicked.

    "You, climb up the pole yourself and use this to see what is going on in the south."

    Li Xiang has old arms and legs after all, so he can only leave this matter to his young nephew.

    At the same time, Li Xiang issued a series of orders.

    "Notify all ships to turn around and sail south of the island at full speed!"

    Now that she thought of that terrible possibility, Li Xiang felt uneasy.

    After all, besides Zheng Zhilong, who else can come to Amami Island at this time.

    As long as he thinks of these, Li Xiang will not be calm.

    Yang Biao had already climbed up along the main pole at this time. He stood at the highest foothold, took the monocular and looked towards the south end.

    Wang Renzeng and the Amami Islanders fought fiercely five nautical miles away from the southern end of the island. Counting the distance between Li Xiang and the others, the distance between the two sides was actually quite far.

    Even with the monocular telescope made by Europeans, the distance that can be seen is not very far.

    It¡¯s just that the monocular telescope used by Yang Biao looks like it was made by Europeans in this era.  But in fact, it was bought from the virtual world. Both the craftsmanship and the multiples are much higher than those of this era.

    Therefore, Yang Biao can clearly see that a fierce battle is taking place in the southern section.

    Even,?It can also be clearly seen that one of the two sides in the fierce battle is the fleet under the flag of Li Xiang.

    Seeing this, Yang Biao didn't dare to delay anymore.

    You must know that those in the battle are your own companions.

    Damn it, Zheng Zhilong and his gang are really good at picking the right time to attack Amami Island at this time.

    Fortunately, our affairs in Nagasaki went smoothly and there were no accidents.

    Otherwise, by the time we come back, all of Amami Island will belong to Zheng Zhilong.

    What makes Yang Biao feel even more lucky is that they don¡¯t only have three ships coming back this time, but there are also thirty sophisticated imperial warships accompanying them.

    These thirty imperial warships can definitely help them defeat the enemies in the south.

    Along the way, it was not just Li Xiang who explored the warships of the Song Empire. In fact, all the people accompanying Li Xiang also explored them together.

    "After they knew the various data of the imperial warship, how could they not know it in their minds?"

    Yang Biao didn't dare to delay and slid down from the pole, then trotted to Li Xiang's side.

    "How are you? Did you see what happened at the south end?"

    As soon as Yang Biao stood still, Li Xiang asked hurriedly.

    "Uncle, a naval battle is breaking out at the south end, and one of the parties is ours."

    Yang Biao told what he had just seen.

    What!

    Our people!

    When Li Xiang heard her nephew¡¯s answer, she immediately became excited.

    "Damn it, it must be this guy Zheng Zhilong. He is very good at choosing the right time. He actually came to Amami Island while I was going to Nagasaki. I asked him why there has been no movement about this guy in the past six months. I'm sorry, he is trying to scare me.  Let's come and try to serve it in one pot.

    Li Xiang gritted her teeth with hatred.

    Fortunately, he had just given the order and the fleet sailed towards the south of the island at full speed.

    Therefore, the entire fleet is now speeding towards the south of the island, and it will not take long for them to reach the battlefield.

    "I can see clearly from the telescope that our brothers can't stand it anymore. But their opponent doesn't seem to be Zheng Zhilong, because they didn't fly the Zheng family's flag, they just waved the king's flag."

    Yang Biao suddenly thought of the scene he had just seen through the telescope, and couldn't help but express his doubts.

    "Isn't it Zheng Zhilong?"

    Li Xiang frowned.

    Could it be that the banner of Wang Zi is a new maritime force?

    ¡° If you want to take advantage of an opportunity to seize your own inheritance this is probably impossible.

    "The situation of Zheng Zhilong's unification of the sea has become very obvious. I don't think there will be that kind of guy who wants his life to jump out at this time.

    Therefore, the matter of new maritime power should be unreliable.

    "If that's the case, then who is it that is fighting with our own fleet?"

    Li Xiang went through this matter very quickly in his mind.

    Suddenly, he thought of someone.

    That is Wang Renzeng, one of the twelve leaders under Zheng Zhilong.

    Immediately, Li Xiang¡¯s face turned extremely ugly.

    "I know who it is."

    Li Xiang pressed it and said in a hateful voice.

    "Uncle, have you thought of who it is?"

    Yang Biao asked quickly.

    Li Xiang nodded and said, "That's right! I've already thought of who it is. Speaking of which, you also know this person." When his uncle said this, Yang Biao also had a puzzled look on his face.

    Uncle said he knew him?

    Could it be that they are acquaintances?

    Yang Biao suddenly thought of this situation.

    After all, after the Naha naval battle last year, Li Xiang's brothers and some other people who had joined forces left Li Xiang and went to Zheng Zhilong's side.

    According to what my uncle said just now, could it be that these are the former brothers and comrades who have taken refuge with Zheng Zhilong?

    If that¡¯s the case, then you really deserve to die.

    Even if they defected to Zheng Zhilong, they should not forget their past friendship and work for Zheng Zhilong in such a short period of time to fight back against them.

    But even though I think so, who can say clearly about the things in this world.

    Maybe some of them want to buy pets from Zheng Zhilong.Yes, that¡¯s why we have today¡¯s naval battle.

    ??Always, human nature is an elusive thing.

    In the past, people called themselves brothers and sisters because Li Xiang¡¯s power was still there.

    But now, his uncle has lost his majesty, and all those hidden little people have jumped out one by one.

    "Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about the guys who took refuge in Zheng Zhilong. I'm talking about Wang Renzeng, an old friend. I think you won't forget this guy."

    who!

    Wang Renzeng!

    I did it to his grandma, right?

    "Wang" banner, under Zheng Zhilong, this guy is the only one with the surname Wang.

    Why didn¡¯t I think of that?

    After Li Xiang¡¯s reminder, Yang Biao came to his senses.

    ¡°Uncle, you mean to say that the person who is fighting with our brothers is Wang Renzeng?¡±

    Yang Biao's face also turned ugly.

    However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the change in their expressions is definitely not due to fear, but due to anger.

    "Damn, I can't find anything even if I wear iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here." Li Xiang actually said this in such a polite way at this time.  After saying that, a ferocious smile broke out on his face, making Yang Biao shiver.

    ¡°Oh my god!

    It seems that my uncle hates Wang Renzeng deeply.

    ¡°But think about it, as far as what he did to Wang Renzeng is concerned, this guy is really an unworthy man.

    It¡¯s not unreasonable for his uncle to hate him so much.

    What's more, when I mention Wang Renzeng, I feel itchy with hatred.

    "Send the order and move forward at full speed! Get ready for battle, our target is the ship flying the King's flag" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
