The night was dark, and even the moonlight was hidden behind the layers of clouds and mist.

The more terrifying the sound of the waves, the more it seemed that the sea at the moment was almost eerily calm.

Zhu Yunxuan stood on the high platform by the water bank, holding the telescope in his hand, quietly looking at the junction of water and sky in the distance that almost completely melted into the night, without saying a word for a long time.

The sea breeze was getting stronger and stronger, blowing on his face like a knife. Zhu Yunjing couldn't help frowning and asked, "Are you sure it's tonight? How come I've been looking at it for almost an hour, and there's no movement at all?"

"Liang Zhen's information will not be wrong," Zhu Yunxuan said indifferently, "He said that it must be tonight, what time is it?"

"...it's almost over."

At the port in front, the Dayan ship stood in a dark place, the red Yanjun flag on the mast fluttered in the wind, and the artillerymen and archers on the ship were already in position, just waiting for an order to rush out. Have fun.

Zhu Yunxuan's eyes were darker than the night, he looked up at the sky, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Come soon."

An eagle chirping that stunned the sky and stopped the clouds suddenly cut through the sky, and the peregrine falcon flew from the sky, completely breaking the calm of the night.

The first cannonball landed on the sea surface and exploded in response. A huge flame suddenly burst into flames, which also reflected the enemy fleet coming from behind while taking advantage of the wind.

In the center are thirty large ships of the Fanbang people, like giant dragons, carrying countless heavy artillery, and they are coming aggressively. Dozens of sailing ships of the pirates also rushed out of their nests and scattered around to act as guards. It was the twenty ships led by Liang Zhen. According to the plan, they would take advantage of the wind when the Dayan Fleet sent troops to meet the attack.

Since the first cannon fell, the enemy fleet stopped hiding. The lit torches illuminated almost the entire night sky. The Fanbang people on the boat were also extremely excited, and they kept chasing Dayan Shui. The teacher was bombarding wildly, shouting slogans that people couldn't understand, and the momentum was soaring.

They are very confident. Although thirty ships have been dispatched, the size of the hull is far higher than that of the Dayan ships, and the range of the artillery is more than three times that of the Dayan artillery. of artillery. Not to mention, the Emperor of Dayan is still in the hands of their allies, and that dear ally has made a promise that at the critical moment, the Emperor of Dayan will be pushed to the muzzle of the artillery of the Dayan people, forcing them to surrender and surrender. admit defeat.

God testified that the goddess of victory must be on their side.

How could the Dayan navy wait to die? He Huailing gave an order, and countless ships hidden in the darkness broke through the thick fog, faced the enemy, and fought against them fearlessly. It resounded through the sky, setting off huge waves several feet high on the water, like a tsunami.

Although the hull of the Dayan ship was smaller than that of the Fanbang people, it was relatively flexible. The main ship rushed at the forefront, riding the wind and waves to the enemy fleet, and the dense artillery continued to blast around the hull. , Zhu Yunjing on the high platform was really sweating when he saw it. He Huailing is on the main ship. He has to personally go into battle every time he goes into battle. It's fine if he hasn't seen it with his own eyes. Today, Zhu Yunjing is anxious and secretly made up his mind. As Zhu Yunxuan said, this After the battle, let He Huailing lead the order and be transferred back to Beijing.

Zhu Yunxuan's face was sinking like water, and he was always looking at a certain direction. Behind the Fanbang fleet, Liang Zhen's fleet, which was supposed to take advantage of the melee between the two armies, went around the back of the Dayan Naval Division and attacked for a long time. , and did not fire, as if watching from the wall.

Zhu Yunjing looked at it for a while, and asked Zhu Yunxuan in doubt: "How did Liang Zhen convince those people that you are indeed in his hands? A jade belt is not enough, right?"

Zhu Yunxuan narrowed his eyes and murmured: "He has a trusted brother next to him, who looks a bit similar to me. When I first arrived in Quanzhou and entered the city, the pirates hidden in the crowd had seen me from a distance, Liang Zhen called that People put on my clothes and make up their faces a little, so that those people can look at them, and they will be fooled."

"...It's actually like this."

The sound of the artillery continued for an entire hour. After the fierce battle, the wind and waves on the sea were stronger than before, and the sailing became more and more difficult. Both sides suffered casualties, ceased fire at the same time, retreated beyond the range of the artillery, temporarily stopped the battle, and watched the other side eagerly.

Liang Zhen was invited out of the cabin, and the people from Fanbang sent people to board the boat, who stared at him with sullen eyes, and asked him in lame Dayan words: "It was agreed that you attacked from the rear, why didn't you? Move? We could have sunk their fleet all at once, what the hell are you doing?!”

Liang Zhen curled his lips contemptuously: "Previously, you said that there are only at most thirty Dayan ships stationed here in Quanzhou, but now I see that they have at least hundreds of ships, your information is wrong first, I am here. Dozens of wrecked ships, attacking the Dayan Navy, wouldn't they die in vain, I'm not that stupid."

The other party gritted his teeth and said: "Dayan people are cunning, so are you Dayan people!"

Since the Dayan Emperor was robbed, during this period of time, the pirates have repeatedly violated the coastal borders of Dayan, Fujian and Guangdong, and fired a shot to change the place. They originally discovered that there were at most thirty ships garrisoned here in Quanzhou, and they wanted to take the opportunity to annihilate one of them in order to occupy the Quanzhou port in order to achieve their goal. I never thought that I would be here tonight, but I suddenly found that Dayan's ships were attacking one after another, as if it was endless. Can be annoying.

"It's a shame." Liang Zhen smiled disapprovingly.

"I want you to hand over Emperor Dayan immediately!"

"Okay," Liang Zhen responded quickly, "but I have a condition, you have to call those pirates' ships to lead the battle, and then go to fight with those Dayan navy masters."

The other party was stunned for a moment, and raised his voice vigilantly: "What do you mean?"

"Isn't it obvious what I mean?" Liang Zhen sneered lightly, "Don't think of me as a fool, don't think I don't know your idea of ​​attacking the Dayan fleet after you want me to go, it's from those pirates, the purpose is just to They just wanted to tell me to die. They said it nicely, but in fact they didn't pay attention to me and the people on my island at all. After all, if the ninth prince took the throne seriously, there would still be disputes between me and them. "

"what do you want to say in the end?!"

Liang Zhen smiled calmly: "Let's be honest, Dayan's situation is much more complicated than you know. Those pirates have something to do with the Ninth Prince, but in terms of blood, I am much closer than them. I am The uncle of the ninth prince, watching him grow up, you said that the ninth prince really ascended the throne, will he listen to those pirates, or me? Besides, three years ago, I was still in the power of Dayan. King Zhao, do you think that the remnants of the previous dynasty who quit the Central Plains two hundred years ago stayed in the Dayan Dynasty, or I stayed there? What you are asking for is to grab more in Dayan. Wealth, what they can promise you, I can give you the same, but the premise is that they and I can only save one, they can't tolerate me, and I can't tolerate them either."

Seeing that the other party's face became more and more ugly, Liang Zhen smiled and gave the last potion: "The most important thing is that the Dayan Emperor is now in my hands, I can immediately make the Dayan water master surrender, otherwise, you guys Continue to fight Dayan Shui Shi, and in the end, both sides will suffer, and it has nothing to do with me anyway."

"You—! You are such a scoundrel!"

Liang Zhen smiled and nodded: "I have always been such a rogue, an eye for an eye, and everyone who knows me knows that."

Lai went back in despair, and wanted to repay his intentions with his Shangguan. Liang Zhen stood on the bow of the boat, smelling the undissolved smell of gunpowder mixed with the fishy smell of sea water, narrowed his eyes lightly, and his eyes fell on a place where the lights were dim in the distance. After a long time, the corners of his lips twitched.

On the high platform, a soldier came to report the battle situation at sea, Zhu Yunxuan nodded, didn't ask more, just stared at the front in a trance. Zhu Yunjing took the binoculars from him, looked around, frowned and said, "Does he really have a way to alienate those fanboys and pirates?"

A fleeting smile flashed across Zhu Yunxuan's dark eyes, and then he was filled with worry: "Since he said there is a way, there must be a way, just wait."

The small boat sent by the people from Fanbang stopped beside Liang Zhen's big boat. It was still the first person, but this time his attitude was much more respectful: "Sir, please take Emperor Dayan and go to his boat."

Liang Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Go to your ship?"

"Of course, if you don't want to go, how do we know if what you said is true, or if you actually colluded with the Dayan people to deceive us, if you are willing to take the Dayan Emperor with you to show your sincerity , the commander agrees to your terms."

Liang Zhen's eyes darkened slightly: "Are those pirates suspicious?"

"How dare they," the other party said disdainfully, "it's just a group of pugs who are chasing us, so what if they become suspicious."

After speaking, he seemed to feel that this was a bit inappropriate, and complimented Liang Zhen: "Of course, your Excellency is different from them, you are our closest ally."

Liang Zhen was stunned, but with a smile on his face: "That's natural."

Immediately, he instructed the men behind him: "Bring people out."

Brother Ren, who was dressed in Zhu Yunxuan's clothes and dressed as Zhu Yunxuan, was pushed out of the cabin. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at anyone. He looked cowardly. I really didn't expect the emperor to be so cowardly and cowardly."

Liang Zhen's eyes dimmed, and the other party had already signaled to him, "Please."

Ahead, the horn of charge sounded again, and the Chen's fleet, which had been scattered around the Panbang fleet, took the lead in rushing towards the Dayan Marine Division in front, and a new round of naval battles started in an instant.
