Wu Song ordered the fleet to move, engrave the reefs and mark the several super islands and reefs near the Shark Islands, and draw in detail the navigation drawings. The dozens of sailors on Danluo Island are also very useful. They have good water properties and dive with harpoons to investigate fishery resources. Danluo people can't fight on the shore, but they are very powerful in the water and do not use any equipment. A fierce dive to a shallow beach more than ten meters, and they can open their eyes in the water. When the sharks see them, they have to avoid them. The sharks are not stupid, and the harpoon will be finished.

In the evening, Xiaoqi Island was a little cold, with a gentle sea breeze. Dozens of bonfires were lit on the beach, and sailors held a grand bonfire party.

A large lobster of five or six pounds, a shark weighing dozens of weight, and a large prawn of two or three ounces hung in a pot to boil or barbecue, and enjoyed it. The captains of each ship would occasionally check that the fleet had strict regulations that all foods must be eaten cooked food, 100% cooked. Because eating raw seafood will inexplicably cause physical discomfort, at the least diarrhea, and at the worst death. This non-combat reduction must be avoided, and drinking boiled water and eating cooked food becomes a necessary requirement.

Yu Baosi agreed to a five-pound lobster, touched his stomach and said intently, "I'm going to blow when I go back. When I see Luo Ping, I told him that I ate a shrimp monster."

Jiao Ting said: "Look at your promising prospects, you can't eat anything with your brother. It's probably time to start tomorrow. There is no peace on the sea. Brothers are all wary."

Yu Baosi said: "Don't worry, I don't have to carry the flag on the sea. I will always guard my brother."

The next morning, each ship sent dozens of sailors to cut down firewood on the island, and then set sail at noon.

The fleet was sailing for less than a day when we headed north. The sailor in charge of looking out on the mast shouted: "Does of fast ships appear in the east, please pay attention to each ship."

Ruan Xiaoqi was so idle that he heard that there might be an enemy situation and said, "Brother, just wait and watch the fun, look at the strength of our First Fleet."

Wu Song said: "There are still pirates in this sea area? Can't I turn it north, and there is no trade route?"

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Just wait, you will know, it's better not to pirates. If you dare to attack, we will be asking for trouble."

In fact, they are really pirates. They are pirates of the Maori family in Japan. During this period, Japan did not form a unified country, but instead carried out foreign exchanges and activities based on large families. The Maori family occupies a considerable area on the Tokushima Peninsula, and the population under its power is also hundreds of thousands, mainly agriculture and fishery.

However, the Maori family had only more than 3,000 soldiers, and they suffered some losses in fighting for fishery resources. They basically never made any profits. In order to survive, the patriarch of the Maori family, Taro Mori looked at the Koryo Kingdom opposite the strait. The Koryo Kingdom had been in turmoil for years and wars were everywhere. Without a strong military force as a backing, it naturally became the target of Taro Mori. The reason why he chose to take action at this time was because Taro Mori calculated that the Koryo people harvested rice at this time, and a group of rice with the Maori family could have a good winter.

"Sir, a fleet was found in the west, with six large ships." The samurai from the Maori family came to report to Maori Taro.

Lord Maori said: "What fleet? Is it from the Koryo?"

The warrior shook his head: "It shouldn't be that the Korean warships are not that big, but these six warships are brand new. What's even more strange is that they don't even have sails and can still walk against the wind."

"Yaxi. I'll go and see." Maori Taro attached great importance to this robbery and immediately came to the deck to watch. It was close and not a few miles away. Maori Taro stared at the turtle, and his eyes glowed after looking at it, saying, "A ship of such a large one, whether it is a Koryo or not, we must grab it. With these six large ships, we can dominate Hokkaido and crush other families. We pass on my orders, strictly prohibit the use of rockets, strictly prohibit the damage to the hull, and find the right opportunity to lean on and fight."

"yes."

The Maori family had a total of fifty warships, each with fifty or sixty people. The sails were raised and the horns blew and rushed towards the First Fleet.

"Captain of the fleet, I see clearly. They are Japanese. These people seem to treat us as prey. The ships ask whether to fight." The messenger asked Ruan Xiaoqi.

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "We have always been the only ones who attack others, but no one has attacked us yet. When we enter the range, we can fire freely. The general's cannon is replaced with flowering bullets, as an experiment."

The messenger conveyed the message through flags and horns. Six battleships were arranged in triangles and rushed up. The three heavy artillery on the head of the ship were ready, with a total of eighteen gates. The giant crossbows on both sides were also mysterious. A three-two tael of cannon medicine was tied to the front of the crossbow arrow, which was nearly two meters long. When it was fired, the lead line would be ignited. When the crossbow arrow was fired, it would explode. Although its power was not as powerful as the small melon, it was as good as a small steel cannon because of its long range and high accuracy.

"The gunner is in place."

"The crossbowman is in place."

"The archer is in place."

News came from each ship, and Ruan Xiaoqi said: "The last time I called for a warning."

He shouted in Japanese with his iron trumpet: "We are warships, hurry up and avoid the road, otherwise it would be considered a declaration of war."

The Maori family's fleet has already arrived, so there is no reason to retreat. What's more, Maori Taro was blinded by the number. More than fifty warships faced six warships, thinking that they were the choice to win. Not only did they not retreat, they rushed over faster.

Seeing that the warning was invalid, the First Fleet naturally would not sit and wait for death. It immediately ordered the flag to wave and fire.

At this time, the two sides were still more than two miles apart, and most of the shells were hit by the sea, but a few shots hit the Japanese warships. The cast iron shells fell on the deck, killing several people. The pirates disagreed and kicked them with their feet. At this time, there was a loud bang, thick smoke everywhere, and the thin Japanese warship was finished and began to enter the water.

However, the general's fire rate was not satisfactory. The Japanese fleet entered the range of 600 meters before launching the second round of artillery. This time the roaring artillery began to show its power. If you can't hit such a close distance, you can just hang it directly.

At least ten Japanese warships were shot, with thick smoke everywhere, and heavy casualties.

At this time, if Taro Maori ordered a retreat, the loss would not be too great, but he stubbornly believed that his Japanese samurai would definitely win as long as he boarded the ship to fight, and he shouted desperately to charge.

"Change the direction and use the ship on the right to meet the enemy." As the first fleet changed its formation, the giant crossbow arrows aimed at the Japanese warship. The sailor lit the crossbow arrows with a torch. The shooter pulled the trigger and swished, and three consecutive crossbow arrows shot out. The power of dozens of giant crossbows was extraordinary. Some unlucky pirates were shot directly and penetrated directly. The direct losses were not large, but soon there was a violent smoke and flame, and more than a dozen ships in front of the Japanese warship were instantly broken.
