Chapter 1578 Storm at Sea

Yun Zheng finally followed the advice of Zhao Liuliang and Sanada Takeshi.

No division of troops!

He was touched by what Takeshi Sanada said.

They now have an absolute advantage, so there is no need to divide their forces and expose their weaknesses to the enemy.

They just wait for the enemy to come and fight them.

I have to say that Takeshi Sanada is indeed a talent.

At least in naval warfare he had more experience than any of them.

If it weren't for the fact that Takeshi Sanada was from Yu country, he would have been reluctant to kill Takeshi Sanada.

After reaching a consensus, the fleet continued to advance towards the northern bay of Yu State.

In the afternoon, the weather suddenly changed.

From a distance, you can see a dark cloud gathering.

"Oh no! We may encounter a storm at sea!"

Yun Zheng stared at the sky in the distance, "Someone, bring the nautical chart!"

Lin Ji did not dare to delay and immediately gave the replica of the nautical chart to Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng quickly searched the nautical chart for a place where he could temporarily take shelter from the wind and waves.

At this time, Zhao Liuliang sent someone to come.

"Your Highness, General Sanada Takeshi has determined that a storm is about to hit the sea! Our army must change course immediately and take shelter in the southeastern Torishima Island! All troops, please follow our direction!"

"it is good!"

Yun Zheng was overjoyed.

He is looking for shelter from the storm at sea!

It’s great that Takeshi Sanada knows where to hide!

After a brief thought, Yun Zheng gave another order to the person who came to report: "Secretly order Zhao Liuliang to send more patrol boats to pay close attention to the surrounding movements and the surrounding environment!"

Although Takeshi Sanada seems trustworthy at the moment, he must be more careful.

If they were led into a trap by Takeshi Sanada, their entire huge fleet might be wiped out in an instant.

At this time, it is not too much to be mean-spirited.

"Yes!"

The man received the order and quickly left on the speedboat.

At the same time, Yun Zheng ordered his men to send flags to the rest of the troops, ordering the large ships to protect the small ships and follow the front army.

Soon, the army began to turn around following the lead of the front army.

When the army turned, Yun Zheng kept an eye on the sky in the distance.

Looking at the sky filled with dark clouds, Yun Zheng's heart rose into his throat.

Damn, I hope they can reach Bird Island before the sea storm comes!

If their fleet were to encounter a storm at sea head on, some of their warships would surely capsize.

"Is this storm at sea terrible?"

Jia Yao came to Yun Zheng and asked in a low voice.

“It’s terrible!”

Yun Zheng's face was solemn. "Even though we have strong ships and powerful guns, if we are unlucky and encounter a huge storm at sea, it is very likely that our entire army will be wiped out..."

Compared to storms at sea, hurricanes on land are nothing.

This is their family fortune!

If it was destroyed by a storm at sea, he estimated that he would vomit three liters of blood.

Looking at Yun Zheng's solemn expression, Jia Yao couldn't help but become worried.

At this moment, Zhao Liuliang was also very worried.

"Looking at the weather, I think this storm is going to be big. Can Bird Island provide shelter for our warships?"

Zhao Liuliang asked Takeshi Sanada who was beside him.

Although he was extremely nervous, he tried to remain calm.

"As long as the wind direction doesn't change suddenly, it should be fine!"

Sanada Takeshi was not as nervous as him, "Brother Zhao, don't worry, even if we can't keep everyone away from the wind and waves, at least most people will be fine!"

Takeshi Sanada has experienced too many storms at sea.

The warships they had previously driven were only half the size of Daqian’s main warships, and they could withstand all kinds of winds and waves.

Now that we have such large warships, what are we afraid of?

"As long as you avoid the storm at sea, you will definitely get the first credit this time."

Zhao Liuliang forced a smile and said, "Listen to my advice. When His Highness rewards you, you can refuse other rewards. Just ask His Highness to let you pay less tribute."

Zhao Liuliang continued to apply eye drops to Takeshi Sanada.

He wanted to make Takeshi Sanada firmly believe that Yun Zheng wanted him to replace the ruler of Yu State.

Sanada Takeshi thought silently for a moment, then bowed to Zhao Liuliang, "Thank you, Brother Zhao!"

"Let's not be polite, both of us."

Zhao Liuliang laughed and said, "We will have to deal with each other in the future. It would be awkward if we were too polite."

"Yep!"

Takeshi Sanada nodded repeatedly.

Under their leadership, the fleet headed all the way to the location of Bird Island.

As dusk approached, they finally arrived at Bird Island.

Bird Island was not very big, but it was the best shelter they could find before the storm came.

The Bird Island is covered with various trees, which also attract various seabirds.

This is why Bird Island got its name.

The entire Bird Island is shaped like a semicircle.

In the middle of the arc is a natural shelter.

Takeshi Sanada simply determined the wind direction and led the fleet into the sheltered harbor on the south side of Torishima.

As long as the sea breeze does not suddenly blow from the south, they can avoid the sea storm.

Even if the storm came from the south, it would only push their warships towards Bird Island. Some of the warships would definitely run aground or capsize, but at least there would not be too many casualties.

All the warships dropped anchor and took various measures to deal with the storm.

The large warships were on the periphery, and the smaller warships were surrounded in the middle.

As night fell, the sea storm finally hit.

Soon, heavy rain came down.

The strong wind brought up huge waves. Even though the Bird Island blocked the waves and strong winds for them, their warships continued to rise and fall, and made a constant "creaking" sound.

Although they had anticipated such a situation before they set out, when they actually faced it, everyone became nervous except for people like Takeshi Sanada who were accustomed to storms at sea.

Faced with this kind of sea storm, they had no way to resist it and could only avoid it.

Amid the sound of surging waves, Yun Zheng could hear the sound of collisions from time to time.

Unfortunately, it was pitch black all around and he couldn't see what was going on around him.

It is not known whether it was the waves hitting the warships, or whether one of the warships was unanchored and collided with other warships.

"vomit……"

During this violent shaking, Jia Yao finally couldn't help but vomit.

Yun Zheng could do nothing now. He could only hold tightly onto Jia Yao, who was shaken so hard that she couldn't even stand steadily, and pray silently in his heart that this damn sea storm would end soon.

"Can those small warships withstand the storm?"

Jia Yao leaned in Yun Zheng's arms and asked worriedly.

Yun Zheng's flagship was shaking so violently. She couldn't imagine what would happen to those small warships under the ravages of wind and waves.

"do not know……"

Yun Zheng frowned, feeling unsure.

The only thing to be thankful for is that they now have a place to shelter from the storm at sea.

If they were exposed to this sudden sea storm, their losses would be extremely heavy.

Ugh!

More detailed nautical charts must be produced in the future.

Mark out the places that can be sheltered from the wind and waves on the nautical chart...
