Pirate Avenger

Chapter 78 The beginning of the war
When both sides of the future battle are still in the state of integrating forces, the spies of both sides have already launched a contest without gunpowder.

All kinds of inquired news were sent back to their respective headquarters non-stop.At the same time, more fake news has been continuously released, creating a lot of fog of war.

For the actions of the Li family, the Lai Dao family has already prepared and paid enough attention to it.

However, judging from the many years of experience that the island has been a disaster for the coastline of the Ming Dynasty, the strength of the Li family at this time is not enough. Even if they rush to build warships and unite with a few forces to fight against him, it is impossible for him to integrate the entire pirates. Rival after major league power.

Since the Li family has plans to head-to-head, that would be great.It just happened to wipe out those forces who are overwhelmed, let them know what it means to hit a stone with an egg, and at the same time, Xuelaidao's hatred and the shame of a broken arm.

For this retaliatory action, Lai Dao lost too much.

In Daimyo's opinion, after the defeat, Kuijima should commit seppuku.Although the Lai Dao family still has some strength, it has become a bereaved dog.The reason why he chose to fully support Laijima, contrary to everyone's expectations, is because Laijima begged his name hard after the incident, begging him to give him another chance.For this opportunity, Laijima will integrate the strength of the navy for the daimyo, and after avenging his humiliation, he will voluntarily give up his position as the general of the navy, and at the same time, he will merge his family into the opponent's forces.

This price is not insignificant.So the daimyo readily agreed to the request to come to the island.

It's just that Lai Dao never expected that the actions of the Li family far exceeded his expectations.

After almost a year of preparation period for both sides, their respective strengths have reached a bottleneck.The war is imminent.

At this time, Lai Dao has completely integrated the pirate forces, and the Li family has also completed the assembly.

Seven support ships from different families arrived at Hangzhou Port successively.

As for Preyla, it took several months to set up defenses, and after taking complete precautions against Kuhn, ten warships disguised themselves as merchant ships and chased them northward in batches, all of which arrived in Quanzhou and Hangzhou three days ago. And many other ports.

What made the Li family even more gratified was that the North Korean side, which had also suffered from pirates, decided a month ago to send sailors to fight against the pirates in addition to retaining a small amount of defense force after being shocked by the Li family's big move.Wen Yu, the envoy of the North Korean navy, decided to personally lead five warships to join the Li family's camp.

Speaking of Wen Yu, Spark also has to admire him.When the military expenditure of the navy was also greatly reduced due to the influence of the national policy, it was he who continued to deal with it to maintain the current size of the North Korean navy.After that, the overall strength of the navy was continuously improved through various means.

After hearing about the actions of the Li family, in order to destroy the forces of Japanese pirates in one fell swoop and defend the tranquility of the coastline of the motherland.Wen Yu went to Li's house alone to find out, and later persuaded the North Korean royal family to send troops for reinforcements.At present, the navy is on standby in the capital of North Korea.

So far, a total of 27 warships of the Li Family Alliance have been assembled and ready to go.

In order to be able to keep the enemy out of the country, but also to fulfill the promise with Preyla.The Alliance decided to place the battlefield in the waters of Nagasaki, Japan.

On the officially agreed date, the troops set out, and all the ships chose the desolate Jeju waters to assemble.When the army rendezvous, go straight to Nagasaki.

Although the Li family has kept a low profile, such a large-scale military operation naturally cannot be hidden from the eyes of those who are interested.The other party stepped up and sent the news back through various channels.

When the alliance arrived at the predetermined sea area, the party that came to the island was already ready for battle.There are no less than fifty ships, large and small, densely scattered on the sea.

The alliance was taken aback by the size of Lai Dao's fleet, but it did not panic.It is true that the number of the opponent's ships is twice that of our own, but the quality, after all, is just the integration of pirates, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a group of mobs.

Pirates are characterized by their large numbers, quick actions, and one-hit escape.This is where the navy really has a headache.

But this time they came to the island to give up their advantages and choose to fight in an upright manner. From the perspective of the alliance, this is simply to use their own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, and to take their own humiliation.

In a small place like Japan, this fleet may still be awe-inspiring, but in front of a real regular navy, they should ask for more blessings.Presumably Lai Dao was also dazzled by the obsession with revenge to make such a low-level mistake.

At this moment, Lai Dao’s baby feels so bitter!I couldn't stop cursing in my heart.

"'Xiang Feihu' you shameless bitch! Didn't you agree to have [-] warships? How come there are more than double the information!
Those few warships flying the North Korean flag are nothing more than that, but what about those people who obviously look different from us?And there are ten ships once they come, why don't you be so active!How many benefits have you promised others?

We have gone through many years of ups and downs together, and the fight is not very good, how can you invite outsiders to intervene, you are worthy of our fighting friendship for so many years.

Even if you ask for help, you don't have to hide it from me.If you bring outsiders to my door like this, it will hurt me very much. "

Laidao baby is suffering, but he can't cry.After all, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. As a general of the navy, he naturally couldn't show any timidity at this time.

The formation of the Li Family Alliance is clearly divided into three sections, among which the North Korean navy is the weakest on the surface, and it is the best policy to defeat it with all its strength first.But on the one hand, Lai Dao is well aware of Wen Yu's tactics, and on the other hand, no matter the victory or defeat of this naval army, Lai Dao will hand over command after the battle. He is eager for revenge, so he simply ignores Wen Yu and chooses to lead his own army. The main fleet attacked the Li family fleet with all its strength.

Although the Li family is the initiator of this alliance, the ships that can really command and move are their own fleet and the twelve warships that arrived earlier and trained together for a period of time.

Although it has a slight advantage in the number of warships, there is still a big gap compared with the Preyla fleet that has been fighting Kuhn all year round.Even the North Korean navy with only five warships has impressive strength.

Because the three parties of the alliance have their own ghosts and different fighting styles, unified scheduling may hinder each other, so there is no unified command.Simply let everyone let go of the fight and fight on their own.If necessary, they can use semaphore to help each other.

On the side of the Li family, it was spread out in the shape of a wild goose.The Li family knew that it must be the key object of care for the island, so they chose the Huachang led by Spark, an ironclad ship known for its defensive power, to lead the battle.Then came six warships equipped with heavy artillery.The remaining five weaker ships were all refitted into light artillery with relatively weak firepower but longer range, and were guarded at the rear of the fleet.

The alliance side took the lead in launching the offensive with its strong firepower advantage.Amidst the thundering artillery fire, this sea battle that attracted the attention of the world officially kicked off.
