Chapter 227 Fleet Assembly ([-])

The main force of Zheng Zhihu's fleet is in Ishigaki Island?Chu Yun's eyes lit up.

Ishigaki Island belongs to one of the Yaeyama Islands. It is just southwest of Miyako Island and is the gate to the Yaeyama Islands.At present, among the Ryukyu Islands, the Yaeyama Islands are controlled by Shibazhi.Because the Yaeshan Islands are too close to Yizhou, only three or four hundred miles away, even closer than the Ryukyu main island.

But Chu Yun, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, is not wanted by an island. If he can occupy Ishigaki Island in the name of revenge, then he can use Ishigaki Island as a springboard to attack Yizhou.Attack the northern part of Yizhou from Ishigaki Island. If the wind is favorable, the fleet can arrive in a day!
"Are you serious? The main force of Zheng Zhihu's fleet is on Ishigaki Island?" Chu Yun asked repeatedly.

"They didn't mean to say something when they whipped us. There should be nothing wrong. And we heard from the fishermen who went fishing on the island before that Ishigaki Island is haunted by strong men, and they dare not go fishing in the nearby waters." It turned out that the defenders on Miyako Island said.

"This news is very important. If we have one or two pirate captives, we can attack Ishigaki Island." Chu Yun suddenly regretted, "It's a pity that we killed all these pirates."

"That's not necessarily the case." Nelson shook his head. "My lord, didn't I say that before, we destroyed two pirate ships and captured one. There were quite a few prisoners on that ship."

"Take me there quickly, I want to interrogate them!"

After Chu Yun and others cleaned up most of the pirates on the island, they asked the detained soldiers to restore order on the island, and then returned to the coastline with the escort and navy soldiers.As Nelson said, there is a wrecked pirate ship anchored in the port.

The hull of this pirate ship had many holes blasted out by iron cannons, and the mast was almost all broken off, making it almost a hulk.

The two terrified pirates were pushed in front of Chu Yun.

"Next, I will ask you some things one by one. If your answers are inconsistent, I will tie you two to stones and throw them into the sea to feed the fish, and then I will find other captives to ask questions." Chu Yun said, "Come here , leave this one behind, I will interrogate him first."

"My lord, please forgive me. I have an 80-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. The whole family is still counting on my life. Please forgive me..." The pirate who was left alone looked up at Chu Yun pitifully. .

"If I had known this before, why bother, if you had any hesitation, don't use these soldiers to do it, I will kick you down myself."

"Quickly, is Zheng Zhihu's main force in Ishigaki Island? How many ships, artillery, soldiers, and terrain are there in Ishigaki Island?" Chu Yun said. ,

"My lord, please forgive me. These things are unacceptable. If I do, they will definitely tear me into pieces..."

"Then go down and feed the fish."

Without saying a word, Chu Yun stepped forward and kicked that pirate into the sea with one kick!Not a trace of sloppy!
The other pirate saw his companion plop into the water, and was frightened out of his wits. Chu Yun was so cruel that he didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy.If you are tied to death by a rope and kicked into the sea, no matter how familiar you are with water, you will die without life!

"Come here, I'll ask you something, if you hesitate, he will be your end." Chu Yun said, pointing to the rough sea.

"Yes, yes, sir, just ask, I know everything, I know everything..." The remaining pirates trembled.

After setting a precedent, the subsequent interrogation went very smoothly, and everything that should be explained was explained.Chu Yun asked several pirates to interrogate separately, and basically their descriptions of Ishigaki Island matched each other.

"Ishigaki Island has assembled more than 60 ships mobilized from the northern part of Yizhou. Among them, only a dozen or so ships are equipped with large-caliber artillery, and the number of artillery is not large. Therefore, their main combat method is to approach the enemy ships and carry out Close combat on board can also give full play to their advantages in ships and numbers."

"Their surprise attack just now was unsuccessful, probably because they never thought that our firepower was several times that of theirs, and it was difficult to get close. So they turned around and fled, treating the pirates on the island as abandoned children." Nelson and Chu Yun got the news together Afterwards, speculate on the tactics of the pirates.

"If we want to defeat the main pirates on Ishigaki Island with our current fleet, how sure are you?" Chu Yun asked Nelson.

"[-]% sure." Nelson raised his head and said with a straight chest. This is the arrogance of an admiral. "If I can't even calm down this pirate, I am worthy of being the commander of the fleet."

"Annihilate the ships on Ishigaki Island and capture Zheng Zhihu alive, how sure are you?" Chu Yun asked again.

"That's impossible..." Nelson was a little embarrassed. "When the two sides are evenly matched, they may even have to chase the sea for several months to decide the winner. The opponent's number of ships is five times that of ours. Defeat them and make them give up. Ishigaki Island is easy, but to wipe them out, at least we have to have warships with the same number as them and stronger firepower than them."

"Since we can't guarantee that they will be completely wiped out, we should kill their ships as much as possible and bite off a piece of meat from Shibazhi. We also want to capture Ishigaki Island as a base for going south." Chu Yun said.

"It's not difficult to capture Ishigaki Island, but Shibazhi may be offended. Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang led the fleet to attack. Our numbers are too small, and we may be wiped out on Ishigaki Island." Nelson worried.

Too few warships is a disadvantage.Chu Yun was a little confused.At present, there are two sailing battleships and nine frigates moored at Miyako Island, but one of the supply ships was lost in the storm. A fleet supported by only three supply ships may be difficult to support the capture of Ishigaki Island, and to meet the possible The main force of the revenge Shibazhi.

"Let the Daqi come with four gunboats and the supply ship from Naha Port. This time we must gather all the warships to conquer Ishigaki Island with the least loss, and force Shibazhi to compromise with us!" Chu Yun immediately Order to summon the fleet to the rear.

In this way, their expeditionary fleet has three sailing battleships, thirteen warships with 24 artillery pieces, and the number of artillery pieces has reached a terrifying four hundred.It can be said that it cost a lot of money!

Even so, Chu Yun still disliked the fact that the number was too small and not shocking enough!But now it is too late for temporary shipbuilding, and the number of ships has not increased significantly in a few months, so is there any way to get ships.

Standing on the deck of the Victory, Chu Yun suddenly thought that the Victory was summoned by the system when he activated the "Sail Battleship" technology.So is it possible to activate other navigation technologies, and maybe summon a warship similar to the Victory?
　Thank you for hurting yourself and all the book friends.
