Chapter 119: South China Sea Survey, Full Army Attack
At this time, the Hailong warship sailed against the wind and waves, heading eastward.
Along the way, they encountered many islands, some of which were sparsely populated with only wild animals.
Some islands are inhabited by indigenous people who lead a simple life and are wary and hostile towards outsiders.
"Report! Your Highness, we found an island with a camp ahead!"
On this day, a scout ran up to Chu Yang, knelt on one knee, and reported.
Chu Yang took the map handed over by the scout, looked at it carefully, and asked.
"Sir, should we attack this island?"
Sima Yi, who was standing nearby, stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Highness, this island is remote and lacks resources. There is not much value in attacking it. In my opinion, it is better to send people to surround it and see what happens."
Chu Yang nodded, thinking Sima Yi's words made sense, and gave an order: "Pass the order down, order General Zhou Yu to send a few fast ships to surround this island. No one is allowed to approach without my order!"
"As ordered!"
The messenger took the order and left.
"Sir, do you think there are any secrets on this island?"
Chu Yang looked at the island in the distance, feeling vaguely uneasy.
"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. What secrets can a small island have?"
Sima Yi said disapprovingly, "Maybe it's just a pirate's lair."
"I hope so."
Although Chu Yang said this, there was still a lingering doubt in his heart.
The warship "Hailong" continued to sail forward, and gradually, the island was left behind and disappeared in the vast ocean.
at the same time.
On the vast South China Sea, hundreds of speedboats are shuttling across the rough sea like arrows shot from a bow.
At the bow, Zhou Yu, wearing silver armor, looked into the distance. Beside him, Deng Guochang, the leader of the Black Shark Army, had a worried look on his face.
"Mr. Zhou, isn't it too risky for us to disperse our forces like this? What if the Japanese set an ambush..."
Deng Guochang said gruffly, his tone full of worry.
Zhou Yu heard this and smiled confidently, "General Deng, you are worrying too much. If the Japanese really had the courage to fight a decisive battle with our Great Zhou, they would have come out in full force long ago. Why wait until now?"
"In my opinion, they are just cowards who are just hiding and trembling on the island."
"That being said, I still feel like something is wrong."
Deng Guochang wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhou Yu.
"General Deng, there is no need to say more. Your Highness has a brilliant plan. You and I just need to act according to the plan. When Your Highness gives the order, we will catch these Japanese rats in one fell swoop!"
Seeing Zhou Yu so confident, Deng Guochang didn't know what to say and could only nod in agreement.
He knew that Zhou Yu was a master in military strategy, so if he said so, he must have his reasons.
In this way, the entire South China Sea has been occupied by the coalition forces of Chu Yang and Zhou Yu.
At this time, on the warship "Hailong".
Chu Yang stood on the deck, holding a special telescope, carefully observing the islands marked on the nautical chart.
He frowned, as if he had encountered some difficulties.
"We have trapped three islands, why are the Japanese still not making any moves?"
He put down the telescope, his tone tinged with doubt.
Sima Yi stroked his beard and said after a moment's silence, "Your Highness, the Japanese are good at forbearance. Perhaps they are waiting for the right opportunity, or perhaps..."
"Maybe what?" Chu Yang asked.
“Maybe they don’t take us seriously at all.”
Sima Yi's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "They probably think we are just here to show off our strength, and will retreat on our own after a while."
"Huh, that's ridiculous!"
Chu Yang snorted coldly, "Since they want to play dead, we will beat them until they have no choice but to come out!"
He turned around suddenly and looked at Sima Yi, with a determined light in his eyes.
"Sir, pass the order down. Target: Ghost Island! I want to let the Japanese know the consequences of provoking the Great Zhou!"
"As ordered!"
Sima Yi bowed and accepted the order, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.
He knew that this young prince had gradually shown the talent and wisdom of an emperor.
Devil's Crying Island.
An island shrouded in fog all year round. Legend has it that there are terrible monsters living on the island, and any ships that approach will be swallowed up.
Of course, this is just a legend. In fact, this island is one of the important military bases of the Japanese.
At this moment, the Japanese soldiers on the island were wandering around doing nothing, unaware that danger was approaching.
"Look! What is that?"
A soldier exclaimed, pointing at a black spot appearing on the sea horizon in the distance.
"It looks like... a ship? It's a ship from the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"Baga! How can they have such a big ship?"
As the warship approached, the Japanese soldiers on the island finally saw the true identity of the newcomers and immediately became thrown into chaos.
They had never seen such a huge warship and were filled with fear.
On the warship 'Hailong', Chu Yang stood at the bow, looking down at the panicked Japanese soldiers below, with a sneer on his face.
"attack!"
Following his order, Xing Daorong took the lead and led the soldiers to rush towards the island like a tiger descending from the mountain.
"Kill!"
The deafening shouts of killing resounded through the sky, arrows poured down like raindrops, and the crossbows fired huge arrows, destroying all the fortifications on the island.
Faced with the fierce offensive of the Great Zhou army, the Japanese soldiers on the island were powerless to resist and fled in panic.
"Baga! Run away!"
"Devils! They are devils!"
"Too strong! How can his arrows shoot so far?"
Looking at the defeated Japanese soldiers, there was no trace of pity on Chu Yang's face.
These people once burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of atrocities on the land of Great Zhou. Now it is time for them to pay the price!
"Your Highness, do you want to pursue the victory?"
Xing Daorong came to Chu Yang and asked for instructions.
"Not urgent."
Chu Yang waved his hand, pointed at several small boats that appeared on the sea in the distance, and said, "Let's see what they want to do first."
I saw that the small boats were all flying white flags, obviously they were here to seek peace.
"Humph, it's too late to beg for mercy now!"
Xing Daorong snorted coldly, murderous intent in his eyes.
Chu Yang didn't say anything, but just watched the boats approaching quietly.
Soon, the boat came under the warship "Hailong".
An old Japanese man wearing a white robe and a tall hat walked tremblingly onto the deck, knelt down in front of Chu Yang, and spoke in stiff Great Zhou language.
"Your Majesty, we are here to present to you..."
Before the old man finished speaking, Chu Yang's face suddenly changed. He pushed Xing Daorong away and drew the sword from his waist, slashing fiercely at the air beside him.
"clang!"
A crisp sound of metal collision was heard, and a black shadow appeared from the void, but was forced back by Chu Yang's sword.
