There is no problem in dealing with the sneak attack of the Goryeo navy.

Opportunities are often fleeting.

The speed at which the Red Scarf Army mobilized naval forces from Jinling and Zhenjiang, as well as soldiers and horses for the garrison from Shandong, exceeded the imagination of all Koreans.

In less than half a month, all the reinforcements arrived at Tamna Island.

Under the command of Zhu Han, the Red Scarf Army immediately formulated a plan to cross the sea to the north to attack Goryeo's capital.

According to the plan, they only need to wait until the wind and waves calm down a little before they can set off immediately.

Using this free time, the entire Red Turban Army prepared for war and rested.

Early morning one day later.

Zhu Han had just gotten up and washed his face before fully waking up.

Sudden.

The soldiers outside brought emergency military information.

"Report to the deputy commander that the navy outside has issued a warning. A group of ships of unknown origin have appeared on the sea on the east side of the island."

When Zhu Han heard this, he immediately woke up.

"Are the Koreans here to die themselves?"

Zhu Han now has ten simplified versions of sailing battleships.

There are also more than 20 enhanced sail battleships brought by Hu Dahai. It can be said that there is no problem at all against the large and small broken wooden sailing ships of Goryeo.

Even if the Goryeo Kingdom has a giant ship equipped with a strong ramming horn.

For the sailing battleships with short and heavy guns, they were just living targets, and it was absolutely impossible for them to have a chance to collide with them.

However, the soldier's answer surprised Zhu Han.

"Deputy Commander, Hu Dahai has sent people to investigate. They are not the Goryeo navy from Jeolla Province. They seem to be Japanese pirates from the east sea."

"What? Japanese pirates?"

Zhu Han immediately frowned.

When I was about to bleed the Korean nation, why did the Japanese pirates come to join in the fun?

After Zhu Han arrived at the beach, he saw dozens of sailboats of various sizes appearing on the sea.

These sailing ships are all hoisted with Hachiman Bodhisattva sails.

The sails of these ships all depict the Hachiman Bodhisattva worshiped by the Japanese pirates.

"Are these ghosts Japanese pirates?" Zhu Han asked Hu Dahai.

It was also the first time for Hu Dahai to see these Japanese pirate ships.

I had only heard before that when wealthy merchants from the south of the Yangtze River were traveling on the sea, they often encountered pirate raids.

This was the first time he saw this living Japanese pirate.

"No matter what kind of monster it is, Hu Dahai, the time has come for you to make a contribution!" Zhu Han said immediately.

When Hu Dahai heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Deputy Commander, don't worry, I will make sure these Japanese pirates never come back."

Zhu Han nodded, pointed at the Japanese pirate boats and continued, "First send someone to take a look at their details. If they are here for business, then let them in for interrogation and give them a pawn."

Opportunities for good people.”

"If they refuse to stop the boat and accept inspection, then send them into the sea to feed the bastards!"

In fact, unlike many people's memories, Japanese pirates did not only begin to appear on the seas of East Asia in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

As early as the Yuan Dynasty, Japanese pirates had been plundering everywhere on the sea.

Because at that time, many civil wars had already broken out in the Japanese pirate island country.

Many feudal lords and samurai were wiped out, and these surviving Japanese could only lead their retainers and generals to flee.

As they fled, they gradually drifted to the sea, where they looked for wild islands as a foothold, and then waited for opportunities to rob passing merchant ships.

When faced with powerful maritime merchants, the Japanese pirates would change their appearance into honest Japanese merchants because of the strength of the other party.

As a result, the Japanese pirates who bullied the weak and feared the strong soon became the way of survival for some Japanese exiles.

Today, the Japanese pirates who appeared near Tamna Island are exactly the same type of Japanese pirates who were forced to flee due to the failure of the internal war between Japan and Japan.

The leader of this Japanese bandit was named Hojo Yoshizhin.

Belonging to the descendants of the Japanese pirate Hojo family, the Hojo family was once a famous noble family during the Kamakura shogunate era. However, with the fall of the Kamakura shogunate, the Hojo family also declined rapidly.

Hojo Yoshin escaped from the fiefdom more than ten years ago when his family was destroyed. He led some retainers and generals to live at sea and became Japanese pirates at sea.

After more than ten years of hard work, Hojo Yoshizhin already had a Japanese pirate team that he thought was very powerful.

There were more than fifty ships, large and small, and nearly two thousand Japanese pirate soldiers were entangled.

In Hojo Yoshin's impression, having more than 50 warships and nearly 2,000 soldiers can completely dominate the Japanese islands. Even if the equipment is better, Hojo Yoshin can lead these Japanese pirates.

The army returned to their ancestral homeland and restored the glory of the Hojo family.

In order to realize this dream, Hojo Yoshin wanted to lead his Japanese pirates to do something big before returning to Japan to revive his family business!

After finishing this job, Hojo Yoshizhin plans to stop!

This time when I came to Tamna Island, I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to harass and plunder. The natural goal was to steal some horses that were kept free by the Mongols on the island.

The horses herded by the Mongols on Tamna Island are purely wild. There are no walls or fences at all, and the horses are allowed to roam freely.

Before that, Japanese pirates would often grab some horses on Tamna Island, and they could just put them on the ship and leave.

This time Hojo Yoshima and others led the Japanese pirate fleet to Tamna Island.

They still wanted to take the opportunity to snatch some Mongolian horses. They had done this several times before.

The Mongols on Tamna Island are no longer as brave as they once were, and their ability to deter Japanese pirates is not as good as before.

Especially in the face of Japanese pirates who came to rob in boats, the Mongols were not good at water warfare, and they had no way to deal with the Japanese pirates.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tamna Island, with its horse ranch, soon became a treasure trove for Japanese pirates to make frequent sneak attacks.

The waves of Japanese pirates stealing horses have already made the Mongols on Tamna Island numb.

Today, the Japanese kingdom on the Japanese islands has been divided into the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The Northern and Southern Dynasties each supported their own emperors and had their own shogunate.

The protracted melee between the two sides naturally showed great interest in the excellent Mongolian war horses. All horses transported to the Japanese island were purchased at high prices.

Japanese pirates like Hojo Yoshin who had no livelihood, naturally made a living by this way.

No matter who you rob, it is not robbery. Anyway, the Mongols have nothing to do with them. If the Mongols don't rob, it's nothing.

These Japanese pirates knew that the Korean navy was nearby, and for some unknown reason they all huddled in the Jeolla Province area of ​​Quanzhen, unable to escape. There was no large-scale naval force on the entire sea between Korea and the Japanese islands.

What is the situation on Tamna Island? They have been here before.

It is so easy to steal horses at this time!

but.

When Hojo Yoshizhin and other Japanese pirate ships approached Tamna Island, they discovered something unusual on the island.

There were actually many soldiers walking back and forth on Tamna Island, and the number far exceeded the three thousand the Japanese pirates thought.

"Ba Ge! What on earth is going on?"

"Why are there so many Mongols on the island!" Hojo Yoshin shouted, holding on to the railing of the bow of the ship.

There are too many Mongols on Tamna Island, which makes it more difficult for Japanese pirates to attack by surprise.

The Japanese pirates have not conducted any reconnaissance on Tamna Island recently.

So these Japanese pirates didn't know that the Mongols on Tamna Island had been wiped out by the Red Scarf Army.

However, the Red Scarf Army on Tamna Island would not give the Japanese pirates a chance to react.

When Zhu Han saw the Japanese pirates arriving, he immediately asked Hu Dahai to lead the warships.

"Hu Dahai, these Japanese pirates are not good people, there is no need to talk nonsense to them!"

"We can't let them escape, attack immediately! Be sure not to let anyone go!"

Zhu Han said loudly.

"I will obey your orders!" Hu Dahai said with a grin.

The battleships of the Red Turban Army are all the latest sail-gun battleships.

If it were in the Age of Discovery.

No matter how tough a pirate is, once he sees these artillery warships dispatched, he will definitely flee.

However, these Japanese pirates in front of them had never seen this kind of warship and were completely unaware of the danger they were about to face.

"These Mongols actually have naval forces on the island?" Hojo Yoshin said in surprise.
