Chapter 550 Ghost Fleet
【Leave me the recommendation this week, thank you!】
The next morning, Jiang Qin ordered the fleet to go around the south side of the island and head towards the eastern end of the island in the mist of the morning. Fang Zhiwen and Taishi Zhaorong stood on the battleship's command platform, facing the east, wanting to enjoy the spectacular sunrise on the sea.
At this moment, the watchtower at the height of the mast suddenly issued an urgent warning: "There are a large number of warships suspected to be found in the east and south direction in front."
Fang Zhiwen and Taishi Zhaorong were stunned at the same time? A large number of warships? Here?
This is the territory of Fang Zhiwen's navy. Apart from Fang Zhiwen's navy, are there a large number of warships? Could it be pirates?
"Detailed report!" Jiang Qin ordered calmly.
At this time, reports of the suspected fleet were also reported from the surrounding warships.
"Due to the light fog covering, it is impossible to see the details of the target in a real way. According to the blurry image, there should be thirty to fifty warships, with a height of five meters, and the hull should be twice as large as our warships. It is a hard sail wide-boat."
This time, even Jiang Qin was surprised. He was twice as big as his warship. You should know that his warship could be a "big ship" of 2,500 stones. The other party was a large ship of at least 4,000 stones or a hard wide-body ship. Can anyone build such a ship now? Could it be the fleet of Jiangdong?
Fang Zhiwen naturally knows more than Jiang Qin at the intelligence level, especially in the intelligence level of opponents and potential opponents. In Shi'a's intelligence and in the intelligence from the Zongheng Seven Seas Guild, there is definitely no information about ships of this size and fleet.
According to the latest report of Lenan Ship Cao Lu Hang, Lenan Shipyard is experimenting with a soft pointed-bottom sailing of 4,000 stone, which is a real fly-scissor, but there are still many difficulties. The largest sailing ship that Lenan Shipyard can build is a round-bottom soft sailing ship with a load of 3,000 stones and is a cargo ship.
Therefore, in theory, these ships do not exist at all, which is the so-called "Ghost Fleet". However, this is a game world, so even if there is a ghost fleet, it must be an interesting and good thing, not a horrible thing.
Fang Zhiwen's eyes narrowed. Although he could not see any shadow of a sailboat from his perspective, Fang Zhiwen's sharp eyes seemed to have been staring at the mysterious ship shadow.
"Jiang Qin, if you catch up, our speed should be superior. According to our intelligence, there is no such ship in this world."
Jiang Qin's eyes lit up, and he spoke loudly excitedly and ordered: "Sustaining all the sails at full speed!"
"Mori sail. Chase at full speed!"
‘Ding, you have entered the adventure dungeon ‘Xu Fu’s Crisis’. You belong to the Chinese camp, so you are forced to join Xu Fu’s camp. Please help Xu Fu fight back the pirates who came to siege. The reward will be issued according to the progress of your dungeon.’
A smile appeared on the corner of Fang Zhiwen's mouth. When he chased Fang Zhiwen to see the big ship in the light fog, the sudden prompt arrived in time. Fang Zhiwen turned his head to look at Taishi Zhaorong, but found that Taishi Zhaorong was still staring at the big ship in the fog and observing, and seemed to have not heard the system prompt.
"Zhaorong. Didn't you get the prompt from the gods?"
"No!" Taishi Zhaorong turned her head and asked curiously: "Do you have your husband?"
"Where are you, Jiang Qin?"
"There are no subordinates, lord!"
"So, it seems that the gods treat me as a leader, haha. When we were close to being able to see the distance of those big ships, I received the gods' prompt that this is the adventure copy 'Xu Fu's Crisis'. The fleet in front should be Xu Fu's fleet. We chased and met with it, and the pirates will come soon. We need to communicate with Xu Fu first."
Jiang Qin responded loudly, then quickly conveyed the order and informed the soldiers and shipmen on each warship that this was a copy of the adventure. The fleet in front was Xu Fu's fleet that crossed the east hundreds of years ago to find immortality medicine. Next, the fleet will cooperate with Xu Fu's fleet to fight against the pirates.
The battle instructions and orders were conveyed, and Fang Zhiwen seemed to be able to hear the cheers from the ships. Compared with Fang Zhiwen's cavalry who prefers silence, the soldiers of the navy seemed to prefer shouting. They were not as silent as the cavalry, but were full of a very strange optimism. Perhaps, the lonely sailing on the sea requires this spirit of joy in suffering to support it!
As the fleet approaches, the fog is gradually dissipating. At the intersection of sea and sky, a huge red fireball that makes people feel very unreal is leaping out, and the soft and dreamy light makes everyone fascinated.
The ship in front soon discovered the fleet chasing from behind. After a round of light signals interaction, don’t doubt that the other party’s Qin Dynasty’s light signals are inconsistent with the Han Dynasty. There will naturally be a hand of a great intelligent God.
After confirming that the person who came from behind was his own people, the fleet in front came the exact news about Xu Fu's fleet and pirates. Xu Fu's fleet was 35 large ships, with 300 people on each warship, half of which were crossbowmen, and the number of pirates was 200 warships. The specifications of the warship were the same as the warships Xu Fu was riding.
As for why there are so many pirates and why the pirates are so strong, the truth is actually very simple, because Jiang Qin's fleet has 120 ships, plus Xu Fu's fleet, so the result of automatic matching of the dungeons becomes what it is now.
"Confirm with Xu Fu that they are defending with a square array, and we are restraining the strikes on the outside. They do not have to take into account our position. We will carry out independent movements according to their course."
Jiang Qin went back and forth to fight with the other party's communicator's plan across a section of the sea. Jiang Qin's plan was based on the characteristics of the ships of both sides. Jiang Qin's fleet was fast, but its defense was not as good as Xu Fu's fleet. Xu Fu's fleet was slower, but its defense ability was good, which determined that the two fleets should act separately, one as an anvil and the other as an iron hammer, and the pirates were the iron material in the middle.
Neither Fang Zhiwen nor Taishi Zhaorong interfered with Jiang Qin discussing combat plans with the other side. After all, Jiang Qin was the head coach of the fleet, and although Fang Zhiwen was the lord, he was just a passenger.
On the other hand, Fang Zhiwen was considering whether he could go to the opposite boat to see the legendary Xu Fu and the young men and girls he led. It is said that this guy finally ran to Fusang Island to establish the later Japan.
Unfortunately, it was obvious that even discussing the details of the battle was conducted using flags. Obviously, the other party did not intend to let players or indigenous people enter the dungeon board the ship. Fang Zhiwen even felt that the smart brain must be lazy. There were probably only combatants on the ship, and there were no Xu Fu and the boys and girls at all.
Fang Zhiwen turned his head to Taishi Zhaorong's ear and whispered: "Zhaorong, do you want to go to the big boat to take a look?"
Taishi Zhaorong's face was a little red and her ears were itchy, but she still held back and did not dodge her. If she avoided her, everyone would pay attention.
"Well, Rong'er is also very curious, but it seems that they don't welcome others to go up, and maybe they will cause unhappiness."
"Hehe, I'm also very curious about what Xu Fu looks like! Jiang Qin, ask if the other party can send some intelligence liaison officers to their warships."
Jiang Qin nodded, but the other party quickly refused, saying that he was responsible for the emperor's life and could not allow others to board the ship! What's the reason for this? However, Fang Zhiwen had no choice. Since the other party did not allow boarding, unless you defeat them, there should be no chance to board the ship. However, if you choose to attack Xu Fu's fleet, will you withdraw from this copy?
Fang Zhiwen was unwilling to take the risk. Since he could come in once, he would be able to come in again in the future. At that time, he must try to defeat the pirates and Xu Fu and see what the secrets are on this big ship.
Jiang Qin seemed to have this idea, and looked at Fang Zhiwen for a moment, and both of them showed cunning and tacit smiles on the corners of their mouths.
"Left 15th Lift! Prepare for long-range combat, all crew members are in place!"
Jiang Qin issued an order to prepare for combat, and the lookouts on the mast had already discovered the pirate.
"Lord, I want you to be the deputy general of the fleet to be responsible for commanding long-range strikes, and also ask your wife to be the deputy general to be responsible for hand-to-hand combat."
"Yes, from now on, we are your subordinates!"
"Thank you lord!"
"Twenty left rudder, seize the upper hand, and sway the long snake formation!"
"Prepare the oil tank of the catapult, and prepare the fire arrows of the heavy crossbow!" Fang Zhiwen gave the order to prepare for shooting unswervingly. With Fang Zhiwen's bonus, the range and hit accuracy of these long-range troops will be greatly improved. The range of the catapult will be increased to about 700 steps, and the range of the heavy crossbow will be about 430 steps.
"Prepare for catapults! Every three warships aim at one target, shoot in sequence, put it on! Then install it again......"
"Prepare the heavy crossbow, aim at one target for every three battleships, and shoot in sequence! Let it go!"
"Change fire shooting!"
Fang Zhiwen added a high-precision hit skill to the heavy crossbow, and suddenly one after another of the pirate warships were ignited one after another. Fang Zhiwen's hit accuracy and range surprised Jiang Qin. This was not a battle at all, but a bullying person. With this hit accuracy, under this bullying range, and the speed advantage he had, he could not fight this battle!
Jiang Qin regretted it a little. If he had known it, he would not have let his lord command long-range shooting. This kind of fighting style is completely no difficulty, and he can't even keep up with the level of training in normal times. There is absolutely no way to train the troops in such a battle. He is purely here to scan the dungeon. In fact, Fang Zhiwen fought with the mentality of scanning the dungeon.
He just wanted to know what rewards would be if he could win the highest dungeon progress, not to mention that this is the first recommendation, and the rewards are definitely great! It's really exciting!
Fang Zhiwen, who was smiling, was happily attacking the commander from a long range. The messenger beside him was already a little surprised and numb. This level of shooting command is amazing! Fortunately, this is his lord, not an enemy. If it is an enemy, this will definitely be a desperate enemy! (To be continued...)
