Chapter 47: The Hailong warship was launched and swept across Japan
"Mr. Wang, you are worrying too much. I have my own plans."
Chu Yang waved his hand and interrupted Wang Meng, "But has there been any movement in the South China Sea recently?"
Wang Meng was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Chu Yang suddenly asked about the South China Sea.
"In the South China Sea..."
Wang Meng hesitated for a moment, "There is no war, but..."
"Just what?" Chu Yang raised his eyebrows.
"It's just that Mr. Zhou said that he wants to give you... a surprise."
Wang Meng hesitated for a moment, but still repeated Zhou Yu's words exactly as they were.
"surprise?"
Chu Yang raised a playful smile, "What on earth is this guy up to?"
"Your Highness, how about we go and take a look first?"
Wang Meng asked tentatively. He really didn't like Zhou Yu's surprise and always felt that there was something wrong.
"Alright,"
Chu Yang stood up and stretched, "I never thought that I would get a wife and a surprise to accompany her!"
soon.
The two came to the coast of Qiongzhou, and the air was filled with the salty smell of sea water.
Zhou Yu was dressed in white, standing on the shore with his hands behind his back. The sea breeze blew his robe, making him look like a banished immortal.
"Mr. Zhou, I heard you want to give me a surprise?"
Chu Yang strode up to Zhou Yu with a playful smile on his face.
"That's right, Your Highness, please follow me."
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, turned around and led Chu Yang towards a hidden harbor not far away.
In the harbor.
The three warships were quietly anchored, looking particularly majestic in the afterglow of the setting sun.
These warships were different from any ships Chu Yang had seen before. They were extremely tall, as high as four stories, and their hulls were as black as ink.
It was like a group of giant beasts lurking in the water, exuding a terrifying deterrent force.
"This...this is..."
Chu Yang looked at the huge creature in front of him and was so surprised that he was speechless.
"This is the artifact I prepared for Your Highness - the Sea Dragon warship!"
Zhou Yu's eyes gleamed with confidence, "This ship uses the 'Sky Fire Thunder' that I carefully developed as its power source. Its speed is far faster than any other ship in the world."
"The bottom and sides of the ship are made of thousand-year-old black iron. They are indestructible and can withstand all attacks. The ship is also equipped with various weapons such as crossbows and catapults. They are extremely powerful!"
"Good! What a great 'Sea Dragon' warship!"
Chu Yang couldn't help but admire it. He stroked the cold hull, and a surge of ambition surged in his heart.
With these three warships, he can travel across the four seas and realize his ambition of unifying the world!
"Your Highness, these three 'Sea Dragon' warships are named 'Sea Dragon', 'White Dragon', and 'Red Dragon', respectively, implying that Your Highness can soar into the sky like a dragon and command great power!"
Zhou Yu pointed at the three warships and introduced them one by one.
Chu Yang nodded, his eyes full of admiration.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhou. I like this gift very much!"
"As long as your highness likes it."
Zhou Yu cupped his hands and asked, "When does Your Highness plan to go out to sea for the trial voyage?"
"It's better to do it today than tomorrow!"
Chu Yang waved his hand and said with great pride, "Tomorrow, I will personally lead the 'Sea Dragon' warship to conquer this vast ocean!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Zhou Yu's eyes gleamed and he bowed to accept the order.
Day two.
The sky is clear and the sea breeze is blowing.
At the coastal ports of Qiongzhou, flags are flying and the place is bustling with people.
Chu Yang was wearing a golden armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, and he was standing majestically on the deck of the "Qinglong" warship. Behind him was a sea of soldiers, all of them were in high spirits and full of fighting spirit.
"set sail!"
Following Chu Yang's order, after three deafening cannon shots, the Sea Dragon warship slowly left the port and headed towards the vast ocean.
"Your Highness, Shuiyun Island is ahead."
Inside the cabin of the Qinglong, Zhou Yu pointed at the sea chart and reported the sailing situation to Chu Yang.
Chu Yang walked to the side of the ship and looked into the distance. He saw a lush island appearing where the sea and the sky met in front of him.
Watercloud Island.
It was originally the garrison of the Great Zhou Navy, but since the civil strife in the Great Zhou, the navy lost its supplies from the imperial court, gradually declined, and was finally occupied by pirates.
These pirates used Shuiyun Island as their base, plundering passing merchant ships and committing all kinds of atrocities. They had long become the cancer of the waters in this area.
"It seems that there are quite a few islands nearby. With this ship, it won't be difficult to conquer them!"
"How about trying this warship and seeing if there are any loopholes?"
"And if we take over Shuiyun Island, we might be able to obtain a military commander!"
Chu Yang thought secretly, and then asked: "Mr. Zhou, it won't be a big problem to attack Shuiyun Island now, right? How about using it as a strategic buffer to resist the Japanese pirates later?"
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said confidently.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Shuiyun Island is nothing to be afraid of! These pirates are just a bunch of rabble. How can they resist the might of the Sea Dragon warship?"
"What you said is absolutely true!"
Chu Yang laughed proudly and said, "Once we take over Shuiyun Island, we can turn it into an iron-clad camp and make sure those pirates will never return!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to be the vanguard and lead the 'Sea Dragon' warship to flatten Shuiyun Island!"
"Okay! Then I'll have to trouble you, sir!"
Chu Yang patted Zhou Yu's shoulder, his eyes full of anticipation.
The Hailong warship sailed through the waves.
Soon they arrived at the sea area near Shuiyun Island.
"Report! Your Highness, a pirate ship has been spotted ahead!"
A soldier quickly ran up to Chu Yang and knelt on one knee to report.
"Oh? How many are there?" Chu Yang asked.
"Your Highness, there are about thirty ships!" the soldier replied.
Thirty ships?
Chu Yang smiled disdainfully. It seemed that these pirates really didn’t know how to live or die. They actually dared to provoke him!
"Mr. Zhou, it seems these pirates are here to give us a welcome gift."
Chu Yang turned to look at Zhou Yu and said with a smile.
"Your Highness is right. Leave these petty thieves to me to deal with."
"Okay! Please, sir!"
Chu Yang made a gesture of invitation.
Zhou Yu nodded, turned around and walked down the deck to begin commanding the battle.
"Pass the order down. The 'Sea Dragon' and 'White Dragon' will attack from the front, and the 'Red Dragon' will attack from the flank. We must capture all these pirates in one fell swoop!"
"As ordered!"
Following Zhou Yu's order, three sea dragon warships launched an attack at the same time.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Deafening cannon fire echoed across the sea, and cannonballs, trailing long flames, landed accurately on the pirate ship.
Although there were many pirate ships, most of them were tattered small boats and could not compete with the Sea Dragon warships at all.
Under the fierce artillery fire of the Sea Dragon warship, the pirate ships were blown up one after another, and raging fires broke out, and the sea surface suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
The soldiers on the Sea Dragon warships also became bloodthirsty. They operated the crossbows, catapults and other weapons on the ship and attacked the pirate ships frantically.
