Daming pirates

He didn't dare to say that Yu Xiaotian couldn't do this in the future, for fear that Yu Xiaotian would be offended. If Yu Xiaotian slapped his butt and ignored the matter, then he would be in trouble, so he could only continue to deal with it.

Xiaotian turned a blind eye.

Therefore, in the following days, Yu Xiaotian still went his own way, and still struck hard, hitting some big merchants in the coastal area who were colluding with pirates one after another, taking the opportunity to grab a lot of benefits from them. In Yu Xiaotian's dictionary,

War must have dividends. A real war should not be a losing business. Since troops are sent out, there must be gains. Not only must he have benefits, but his soldiers and generals must also have benefits. Only in this way can

Inspire them to be more brave on the battlefield in the future.

However, Yu Xiaotian's ruthless approach also aroused the common hatred of the pirates in Guangdong. This time, Yu Xiaotian swept across the coastal areas of Guangdong, extremely compressing their living space. Wherever he passed, the pirates had almost no foothold.

If Yu Xiaotian continues to develop toward the south, then they may really have no way to survive.

So three months after Yu Xiaotian sent troops south, Liu Xiang and the pirates finally couldn't sit still. On June 11, they gathered a large number of ships and troops, and the Yu family navy entered the Daya Bay area.

After that, I finally took action.

Hundreds of pirate ships of all kinds, plus over ten thousand pirates from all walks of life, were divided into four groups. Taking advantage of the favorable wind, they rushed to Daya Bay and started the first showdown with Yu Xiaotian's fleet.

Daya Bay is dotted with large and small islands. The water in the bay is relatively calm and the waters are relatively wide. It is suitable for pirates to hide and ambushes. In addition, it is also suitable for large-scale maritime battles. There is sufficient water here, which can

For pirates and Yu Jiajun's navy to carry out activities.

The most important thing is that this is an important activity area for Liu Xiang. Once it is occupied by Yu Xiaotian, Liu Xiang will lose an important activity area. Then Yu Xiaotian will drive straight in and reach the Pearl River Estuary.

If we drive him out of this area completely, then Liu Xiang will become a rootless Ping and a bereaved dog.

Therefore, Liu Xiang made up his mind to have a decisive battle with Yu Xiaotian in the Daya Bay area. It would be best to block Yu Xiaotian's navy in Daya Bay and destroy them. At the worst, he would defeat them and cause them to

The huge losses made Yu Xiaotian unable to continue his march south.

Yu Xiaotian's naval fleet sailed into Daya Bay the day before. It can be said that they have not yet established a stable foothold here. As soon as they entered Daya Bay, they encountered a small group of pirate fleets. There was a small-scale confrontation between the two sides.

Firefight.

However, the Yu Jiajun navy easily defeated these intruding pirate fleets, sank and captured more than a dozen pirate ships. Yu Xiaotian was quite satisfied with the results of this battle.

Ever since he went south, the pirates in Guangdong knew that he was not easy to mess with, so they took the initiative to retreat when they saw his fleet. During this period, they only captured and sunk more than a hundred pirate ships piecemeal, which made Yu Xiaotian very dissatisfied.

Although he gained a lot of benefits by confiscating major pirates along the coast, he never encountered strong resistance from the pirates head-on.

This has aroused Yu Xiaotian's vigilance. Through the investigation of his large number of agents and intelligence networks stationed in Guangdong, he has learned a few days ago that a group of Guangdong pirates headed by Liu Xiang have formed an alliance at the Pearl River Estuary.

, established some bullshit alliance to deal with his fleet.

Now that he has reached Daya Bay, he is very close to the Pearl River Estuary, but he has not yet seen Liu Xiang leading a large group of pirates to fight with him. This situation is considered abnormal by Yu Xiaotian and his generals.

As the commander-in-chief of the Third Fleet, Cyclops felt even more incomprehensible about this.

Therefore, before Yu Xiaotian and the generals came to Daya Bay, they held a pre-war meeting at Jiesheng Station. After carefully analyzing the terrain and the strength of the Guangdong Pirate Group, everyone initially determined that, if nothing unexpected,

Liu Xiang and the large group of pirates in Guangdong will never tolerate them continuing to go south in such a large scale. The most likely possibility is to launch a large-scale blocking operation against their fleet in the Daya Bay area.

Therefore, when they left Jiesheng Station and sailed to Daya Bay, the entire fleet was upgraded to the second level combat readiness state, and all members entered a battle-ready state, ready to engage in battle with a large number of enemy ships at any time.

During the march, each ship carefully checked the condition of the ship and the status of the artillery, and checked the ammunition reserves on the ship. Before setting off, a batch of ammunition was replenished for each ship so that it could withstand a large-scale maritime battle.

Combat.

In addition, the captains of all ships have also been ordered to be more vigilant, and the number of night deck personnel has been increased by 30% to ensure the safety of ships at night.

Before entering Daya Bay, the outpost ship went twenty miles ahead of the fleet to conduct reconnaissance and surveillance on the sea. However, after entering Daya Bay, no large number of enemy ships were found, and they were only harassed by a small pirate fleet. However,

In one battle, they were all annihilated.

After entering Daya Bay, Yu Xiaotian ordered the fleet to anchor and rest on the north shore of Daya Bay, and did not ask the local area to provide supplies to the fleet. The economy in this area was not prosperous at this time. There were only some small fishing villages along the coast, and the farming economy was not good. However,

There are many islands in Daya Bay and the hydrological conditions are quite similar.

Yes, it is also relatively remote, which is where pirates like to stay most. In the entire Daya Bay area, only one Dapengsuo City was built, with 300 officers and soldiers stationed there, led by a Qian President, to prevent Japanese invasion.

The Japanese had only three or four warships, and they were all small boats. They were unable to control the entire Daya Bay.

Therefore, this place has always been a place for pirates. In addition to taking shelter here, pirates also supply supplies here and it is also where they ship goods. It has been controlled by Liu Xiang over the years and has become an important base for Liu Xiang.

Now Yu Xiaotian's fleet has entered Liu Xiang's important control area, so no one dares to be careless after the fleet docks.

After it got dark, small Feizi sentry ships were sent out one after another to set up a strict cordon around the anchorage, and then the fleet began to rest.

Liu Xiang stood on the stern of a 400-material Cantonese ship. This Cantonese ship was basically made of ironwood and lychee wood. It was the strongest among the Cantonese ships. Liu Xiang took it.

He came to be his handsome ship. On the sea around his handsome ship, hundreds of ships of various types were densely traveling. The scale was so large that it can be said to be a unique scene in Guangdong in recent years.

Liu Xiang glanced at a fleet of ships on the sea a few miles to the right of his handsome ship, and felt a little sour in his heart. Although the fleet only had a few dozen ships, its quality was better than what he had at hand.

The fleet is much better.

In particular, there are several large plywood boats with soft sails, which are rare among pirate ships. That fleet is the fleet of his old enemy Zheng Yiguan. Over the years, he and

Zheng Yiguan often got into trouble. Zheng Yiguan always wanted to replace him and occupy the Pearl River Estuary area.

Nowadays, everyone knows that whoever controls the Pearl River Estuary is the boss of the Guangdong coast. Therefore, Liu Xiang has always regarded Zheng Yiguan as a close friend. Over the years, he has tried many ways to attack Zheng Yiguan, but this guy seems to be a little strong.

Generally speaking, he is just like a loach, slippery and unable to kill him no matter what.

Now this old rival has formed an alliance with him to deal with this man named Yu who came from Fujian. Liu Xiang is very aware of the grudges between Zheng Yiguan and Yu Xiaotian.

Zheng Yiguan was originally from Fujian, and he himself was considered to be from Fujian. The reason why they came to Guangdong was actually because of Yu Xiaotian, but he was not with Yu Xiaotian at that time.

Xiaotian had forged a deep grudge and came one step ahead of schedule, so he took advantage of it compared to when Zheng Yiguan first came.

But Zheng Yiguan was beaten severely by Yu Xiaotian, who forced him to be driven from Fujian to Guangdong. He was as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog and was almost eaten by others.

Therefore, there is an incomprehensible hatred between Zheng Yiguan and Yu Xiaotian. This time they jointly deal with Yu Xiaotian, it was actually Zheng Yiguan's initiative.

Zheng Yiguan is very familiar with the situation of Sea Wolf, so he knows that no one of their forces can compete with Yu Xiaotian. Only by concentrating all their strength can Yu Xiaotian be able to rush back to Fujian.

Otherwise, if Yu Xiaotian goes south this time, he might drive them all away. In that case, they will all become homeless dogs and have no place to go.

It was this idea put forward by Zheng Yiguan that finally led the sea lords to unite and elect Liu Xiang as the leader to lead various pirates to deal with Sea Wolf's fleet.

A few days ago, they learned that Yu Xiaotian's fleet had arrived at Pinghai Station and would soon enter the Daya Bay area. Therefore, under Zheng Yiguan's strong request, Liu Xiang finally made up his mind to sail in Daya Bay.

Have a battle with Yu Xiaotian.

This time, the sea masters from all walks of life mobilized elite soldiers and generals and sent the strongest warships. They just wanted to completely kill the Fujian Navy fleet led by Yu Xiaotian in Daya Bay. At the very least,

Hit them hard and let them know how powerful the pirates are in Guangdong. Yu Xiao from the province covets them every day.

The day before yesterday, they received a report that Yu Xiaotian had led a fleet to sail to Daya Bay, so under the leadership of Liu Xiang, they immediately set sail from the Pearl River Estuary and headed for Daya Bay with favorable winds.

The reason why they did not assemble in Daya Bay, but gathered from the Pearl River Estuary to rush to Daya Bay, was because Yu Xiaotian's fleet was always vigilant, and many sentinels were deployed in front and outside of the fleet, so that they could not take them by surprise.

besieged Xiaotian's fleet.

That's why Liu Xiang and the others chose to let Yu Xiaotian advance to Daya Bay, and ordered a group of his men to raid Yu Xiaotian's fleet there first. The boss of that group was one of his abandoned sons.

, before he was sent to harass Yu Xiaotian's fleet, he no longer expected these people to come back.
