Chapter 283: Japanese pirates

The icy sea breeze whizzed past the Galen ship, and the strong wind pushed the Galen ship to move fast at sea.
Every once in a while, Yue Yun will determine the latitude and speed, and at the same time mark the current position of the Galen ship on the sea chart.
Starting from the seaport, Yue Yun compared the latitude and longitude on the map along the way. Xiao Ming's test of Yue Yun this time was to see if they could reach Dengzhou with their navigational knowledge while being far from the coast.
"His Royal Highness, you will probably be able to reach Dengzhou in about ten miles." After sailing for three hours on the sea, Yue Yun entered the cabin.
At the beginning of the design of the Galen ship, the living area was set in the cabin.
After resting in the cabin room for a long time, Xiao Ming rubbed his eyes and got up.
He glanced at the chart that Yue Yun had brought over. During the voyage, Yue Yun kept marking the route. The route was indicated by a dashed line. Now he was about to draw from the estuary to Dengzhou.
Although the navigation knowledge learned by Yue Yun on this course is very important, the precise latitude and longitude chart provided by Xiao Ming is equally important.
Because in this era, even the West cannot have such a sophisticated chart.
"You will be in Yutai Village soon. When that time comes, you have to ask this king to eat sea fish."
The sailing on the sea is very bumpy, and the undulation of the sailing warship in the waves is enough to make people vomit out the contents of the stomach.
It is difficult for a person without sea navigation experience to adapt to this kind of life. Because of this, he will choose seafarers from fishermen, because the genes of navigation have penetrated into their bones.
On the way, Xiao Ming was a little uncomfortable, but the seamen who put it on were very excited, like a fish entering the sea.
"His Royal Highness, this will be handed over to the next official, at least we must let His Highness taste abalone. This sea area is where we often fish." Yue Yun smiled.
The two went on the deck while talking. Xiao Ming picked up the binoculars and looked forward. He suddenly saw a thick smoke in his eyes.
At this time he said: "Yue Yun, look at whether the smoke in front is coming out of your village."
Upon hearing this, Yue Yun's expression suddenly tightened, and he immediately picked up the telescope and looked in the direction Xiao Ming was pointing at.
Seeing the billowing smoke, Yue Yun was shocked. He said anxiously: "His Royal Highness, I am afraid that the village has been attacked by Japanese pirates."
Many seafarers on the ship came from Yutai Village. At this time, as the ship got closer and closer to the coast, the thick smoke was already visible to the naked eye.
"Japanese pirates?" Xiao Ming frowned. He picked up his binoculars and looked over and found that there were indeed three sea boats parked outside the village. After carefully distinguishing them, these three sea boats were exactly the same as the house boats of the country.
"Speed ​​up, let the gunner prepare!" Xiao Ming quickly ordered.
A few days ago, Emperor Wei’s envoy, Xiao Qi, had warned her that the woes along the coast were getting worse and worse, but she did not expect to encounter this kind of thing as soon as she went out to sea.
And this is Yutai Village, Yue Yun's hometown.
"The gunner is ready to load the grape shells." All the seamen on the ship moved immediately.
At this time they were more anxious than Xiao Ming, because they lived in Yutai Village but their relatives, Yue Yun looked anxious, wishing to fly over now.
Xiao Ming's eyes are deep. Today, in Xiao Ming's view, the Great Yu Kingdom is in a very dangerous era. Because of the distorted development process, the Great Yu Kingdom is like the Qing Dynasty, and there has been no progress in science and technology in hundreds of years.
Moreover, the current domestic situation in Dayu is even more internal and external, and it is in a very weak period.
From the perspective of modern history, since the seventeenth century, every time the Central Plains dynasty fell into decline, the close neighbors of the Central Plains dynasty on the sea would take advantage of the fire and rob.
On the one hand, it is the natural aggressiveness of this island country. On the other hand, the country of Da Yu has already suffered from the barbarians and has no energy to deal with the Japanese pirates along the coast. This further contributes to the arrogance of the Japanese pirates, so that the pirates along the coast are getting worse serious.
Even the Goryeo dynasty across from Dengzhou clearly supported Japanese pirates to harass the coast of Dayu.
The great trouble of the barbarians was not eliminated, and the Japanese trouble appeared again at this time. Xiao Ming suddenly thought that if he hadn't come to this time and space, it might not be long before Da Yu country would follow in the footsteps of the pill.
It's just that since he is here, even if the jade and stone are burned, he will not let the humiliating history appear on the Han children again.
"Ready to fight!"
The sails were all opened, and the strong wind caused the Galen ship to cut through the waves at sea. After a short while, three Japanese homestead ships appeared in the eyes of everyone.
It seems that the Galen ship was found. The three Anzhai ships not only did not escape, but rushed towards them.
"Things that do not live or die." Xiao Ming cursed.
For the invaders, Xiao Ming only had the word "kill" in his mind. He clearly remembered that the colonial pattern created during the sea voyage was still trapping his homeland like a cage.
Even though his motherland was already very strong at that time, he was still humiliated by these former invaders and was still made irresponsible remarks internationally.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer, and Xiao Ming could already see the Japanese pirates on the Anzhai ship from the telescope.
These people are wearing wooden clogs and kimonos with bows and arrows in their hands. At this time, the archers are standing on the side of the ship's gun and are ready to shoot at the Galen ship.
The Anzhai ship seems to have been put on and built a rectangular room, in which there are dense square holes, from which you can shoot.
At this time, not only was the clothes covered with Japanese pirates, but there was also something like a crossbow sticking out of the square hole of the Anzhai ship.
Yue Yun gritted his teeth and looked at the burning village. He clearly saw Japanese pirates chasing and killing villagers in the village.
When the two ships were 100 meters away, Yue Yun could not wait. He shouted, "Battle formation!"
The flag-bearer played the semaphore again and again. At this time, the sails of the Galen ship that were advancing suddenly changed position. At this moment, the three Galen ships suddenly turned sideways and pointed their sides at the three coming Anzhai ships.
"Get closer!" Xiao Ming stopped Yue Yun who was about to order the shot.
This distance is not enough to sink the Anzhai ship~EbookFREE.me~ and the loading process is long enough for the Anzhai ship to get close to the Galen ship. At that time, I am afraid it was a battle between the ships.
Yue Yun just lost his judgment anxiously in his heart. At this time, he calmed down and put down his hand.
"One hundred meters!"
The Anzhai ship approached again, when a wave of arrows suddenly shot out from the Anzhai ship.
The soldiers on the ship who were preparing for melee combat had already put on all the armors, and at this time they immediately picked up their shields and stood by Xiao Ming and Yue Yun.
"Dangdang..." A series of arrows were blocked.
"Sixty meters."
"Dangdang..." Another burst of arrows poured down, and at the same time, six powerful crossbows suddenly fired from the opposite Anzhai ship. These crossbow arrows were very thick and were fired by the bed crossbow. hemp rope.
These crossbow arrows with hemp rope instantly pierced the body of the Galen ship.
