Chu Feihu, an inspector from the Daishan Island Inspection Department, is patrolling the fish market with his men. This is the busiest place on Daishan Island and the place where fights are most likely to occur.

At this time, marine fish are not easy to preserve. Basically, the internal organs are removed and then salted into salted fish. The pungent smell drifts in the wind, which means that the weather is cooler, otherwise there will be piles of flies, which will make people irritable.

"My lord, my lord, we have a fleet!" One of his subordinates was running out of breath. He was specially arranged by Chu Feihu to be responsible for the observation and warning at the highest point of Daishan Island.

Chu Feihu knew very well that it was simply impossible to expect the fishing boat to detect the enemy's situation and send back the message. In this sea, the speed of the small boat did not have much advantage.

After receiving the news, Chu Feihu immediately turned around and ran to the top of the mountain. How could he dare to report the news without seeing it with his own eyes.

This was the first time that Chu Feihu felt that Mount Dai was really high. After climbing for so long, he still had not reached the top.

Chu Feihu, who was so tired that he couldn't straighten up, leaned on the ground with his long knife. He was only about twenty steps away from the observation tower on the top of the mountain.

When Chu Feihu stood up straight on the observation deck, his whole body was in an inexplicable shock. In the distance between the sea and the sky, countless giant sails were fluttering in the wind.

He, Chu Feihu, had grown up on the island and had never seen a fleet of this size. How many people and goods could be carried in it?

"Quickly, send a fast ship to Hangzhou and report it as soon as possible!" Chu Feihu remembered the previous order from the imperial court and immediately decided to report it as soon as possible. A fleet of this size may not be a good thing.

As time goes by, the huge fleet gradually reveals its full picture and gets closer and closer to Daishan Island.

With the launch of the third batch of new warships in the shipyard, the number of new warships in the navy reached an astonishing twenty-five. The three major families have basically consumed all the wood they had previously reserved. The pace of building warships will be much slower in the future.

Sun Yu's naval base on Dayiuqiu Island is building a larger shipyard. Dayuuqiu Island is full of giant trees, and the cost is much lower. It just takes enough time to process the wood.

Following the twenty-five warships were merchant ships of various forms, totaling three hundred.

The sails on the boat were blown high by the wind, and they were traveling very fast with the help of the rising tide.

Chu Feihu prayed in his heart not to dock at Daishan Island, otherwise, they would have nowhere to escape.

An hour later, just as he prayed, the huge fleet had no intention of docking and continued westward.

Everyone on the island breathed a sigh of relief. When the fleet approached, the overwhelming feeling made it difficult to breathe.

The west wind was blowing, and even with the rising tide, the speed of the fleet gradually slowed down. Sun Yu looked at both sides of the Qiantang River with his binoculars.

Now is the leisure time for farmers and a good day for tide watching. On the river bank, you can see many people waiting for the tide to come out.

At the end of the Qiantang River, as the tide surges, the fleet of boats that covers the sky is approaching quickly. Instead of being afraid, the people watching the tide say hello to the fleet.

The area around Hangzhou has been enjoying peace for so long that people may have forgotten the war.

"Get ready to dock!" The river became narrower and narrower. If it hadn't been for the rising tide, I'm afraid the warship would have been stranded. Sun Yu judged from the terrain that he should have reached Xiasha, and then searched with his telescope. Sure enough, on the top of the mountain on the river bank, there was a ship floating in the wind.

The flag was placed by the Zhongyong Army.

One flag means safety and you can log in, two flags means there is a large army coming, be careful of danger, and three flags means there is an army ambushing you and you cannot log in by force.

Now this flag is quite expected.

On each large ship, dozens of light boats were put down to transport the soldiers to the shore. As for the baggage, it was directly loaded by the small South Vietnamese flat-bottomed ships captured before, and they would be towed directly to the shore.

Strand it aground and wait for the tide to recede before moving it.

When the people on the shore who were watching the tide saw this situation, they all dispersed, only regretting that their parents had lost two legs.

The speed of Qingge was very fast, but within half an hour, thousands of people gathered on the shore, forming a semicircle on the riverside.

On the top of the mountain not far away, the flag changed from one to two. Sun Yu knew that the enemy was coming, and it would be faster than he thought.

In Haining, not far from Xiasha, the navy is expected to be stationed, and there is no way to cover up the movement of the fleet passing by.

The Wang Navy can be regarded as South Vietnam's second-line army. It is stationed at the seaside for a long time and basically maintains local security. It occasionally goes to sea with the navy to suppress bandits.

Li Haoji, the Commander-in-Chief of the Wang Navy, rushed to the river with thousands of people. He originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos and stage a half-crossing attack, but he found that he was facing elite elites who had already formed up and prepared for battle.

The whole person feels a bit like riding a tiger with difficulty.

"General, we seem to be short of manpower." Cui Yanzhan, the marching commander, looked at the appearance of the loyal and brave army in front of him, and then looked at the crowds of people on the big ship in the distance. It was obvious that he was a tough guy.

Li Haoji and Cui Yanzhan knew very well about the combat power of their subordinates. They could do things like suppressing bandits, but fighting against elites was not enough.

"We've already come, and we're just retreating. How can we explain to the king?" Li Haoji touched his chin. This must be done, otherwise he would definitely be charged with being afraid of the enemy.

"The general is mighty!" Cui Yanzhan slapped him in the face. Now that the opponent is still on a shaky footing, he may have a chance.

Li Haoji began to arrange his troops, arranging the few hundred soldiers at the front, hoping that they could break into the defense circle and disrupt the opponent's formation.

Cui Yanzhan was not idle either. The enemy had just landed and had no baggage. They used a carriage to pull dozens of crossbows. They expected the navy to be stationed at the seaside. Without some means of long-range attack, it would definitely not work.

"Prepare for bombardment!" Sun Yu and Song Wumian saw all this and immediately gave the order.

If you want to bully them for not having long-range attack methods, you are really thinking too much. Let them taste the power of the heavy artillery on this battleship. They should be the first ones on land to be bombarded. Maybe they can use this to leave a mark in the history books.

Pen.

Li Haoji and Cui Yanzhan certainly wanted to leave their name in Qingshi, but if they knew Sun Yu's thoughts, they would definitely not want to leave their name by being beaten.

Twenty-five battleships and seventy-five black cannons were pushed out of the hatch and aimed at the enemy positions in the distance. The other merchant ships were also ordinary, and all the cannons on board were ready.

"Brothers, the battle achievements are ahead. Come and charge for me!" Li Haoji rode on the horse and waved the long knife in his hand forward. The entire army began to charge towards the Zhongyong Army's position. For a moment, it became huge.

The soldiers of the Loyal Yong Army began to cause some commotion, and some loopholes appeared in the seemingly perfect defense.

The generals of the various regiments who were also looking at the shore with telescopes were all very anxious. The soldiers who had logged in now were from each regiment and were not under each other. There was a lot of difference in coordination.

"Send the order for Zheng Tu, Deng Qin and Gan Yue to go ashore first and organize the defense without making any mistakes." Sun Yu responded calmly. He knew that despite all his calculations, he still missed one thing.

On each ship were soldiers from the same regiment, and each ship landed one after another. As a result, the number of soldiers from each regiment on the shore was almost the same, making it difficult to coordinate with each other.

If there is a next time, we should fight each regiment

Scattered and distributed among the ships, each regiment landed at about the same time to ensure strong combat power.

"Light the fire!" Sun Yu continued to order, using artillery fire first to buy his own side some time and boost morale.

Cui Yanzhan was organizing the crossbow array to be strung up, when suddenly a thunderous sound came, and he looked with a trace of confusion.

I saw a burst of black smoke rising from every boat on the river, and countless black dots flying towards this side at extremely fast speeds.

Cui Yanzhan didn't know what it was, but just looking at the speed, he knew something was wrong, and he quickly fell to the ground.

There was a "Bang~" sound, and just as he landed, a black ball hit his mount, smashing the entire horse's belly to pieces. The scene was horrific to watch.

The war horse fell to the ground and let out a mournful scream, which stopped abruptly and died of life.

One after another, wailing sounds spread throughout the entire position. Cui Yanzhan pulled his legs out from under the horse's corpse, but fortunately they were not broken. The originally orderly attacking team had become chaotic, and it was unknown how much the losses were.

Jiedushi Li Haoji was lucky enough to not be hit by the cannonballs, but he was still frightened by the cannonball attacks. This was the first time he had seen a trebuchet with such a powerful attack power.

"Quick, attack, launch an attack!"

Li Haoji shouted loudly, urging the soldiers under his command. However, the attack speed of trebuchets is very slow. Now is a great opportunity. As long as they break into the opponent's position, they will not dare to move lightly under the slingshot.

Cui Yanzhan also thought so. He comforted the surrounding soldiers and asked them to load their crossbows as soon as possible and launch an attack on the enemy's position.

"Shoot!" Cui Yanzhan saw that he was just pretending, and he didn't want to wait any longer, so he ordered directly.

Dozens of thick crossbow arrows roared towards the Zhongyong Army's position. The already poorly defended position became even more chaotic under the attack of the crossbow arrows.

Sun Yu looked at the scene in front of him with a black line. This was the most chaotic battle under his command. Fortunately, the opponent was also in a good position. With the superior weapons and equipment, it should not be a complete defeat.

All the ships were slowly turning around, including the flagship at his feet.

"Lie down!" Cui Yanzhan shouted loudly. This kind of attack is different from ordinary trebuchets, which fall from the sky. Instead, it is a straight attack, which can be effectively avoided by lying down.

However, the surrounding area had already fallen into great panic, and only one out of ten people obeyed his orders. More people began to run, hoping to escape.

The iron bullets smashed into the position with desperate power. Whenever they hit people, they were shattered into pieces. The iron bullets continued to wreak havoc with their remaining power.

Even if it hits the open space, the iron egg will bounce up again and continue to jump into the crowd.

As for Li Haoji, he knew something was wrong as soon as the opponent's ship completed its U-turn. He grabbed his horse's belly and rushed towards the Zhongyong Army's position. This move not only allowed him to avoid the impact point of the iron bullet, but also greatly inspired

The morale of one's own side and the general's fear of death can always make his soldiers work harder.

Under the impact of the navy soldiers, the formation of the Zhongyong Army was quickly knocked away. There was a close-quarters melee, accompanied by bursts of shouts of death, and blood flowed everywhere.

Zheng Tu, Deng Qin, and Gan Yue each took a light boat and approached the river bank under the protection of their personal guards.

"Go over there!" Zheng Tu saw the position of his third regiment at a glance. He could only stabilize his formation by entering the territory of his third regiment first.

Deng Qin and Gan Yue did the same thing. They landed separately and commanded the battle.
Chapter completed!
