They've spotted us and now they're running away!
Ha ha!
Doi Yongto became more heroic, "You want to run now? It's too late."
"Send the general's order to all sailors and work harder. We will catch up and kill them."
Crash.
The sailors increased the strength of the oars, and the speed of Doi's ships became a little faster.
However, after less than half an hour, the distance between the two sides had not become significantly smaller, and the Jade Dragon Fleet in front was still out of reach.
"What's going on?" Doi Yongto turned around a few times in disbelief, his temper gradually getting a little irritated.
"General," the guards quickly comforted, "the east wind is blowing now. It's a tailwind. It's normal to be unable to catch up for a while."
"However, the enemy's lights seem to be brighter now, which means that the distance between us is still much closer. It should be that their ship is too damaged and cannot increase its speed."
"Yes, Lu Yulong and the others are just struggling to their death."
Doi Yongto observed carefully for a while, and couldn't help but feel that what he said made sense, and he was relieved. "The notice ordered the sailors to give all their strength to the general, and they must be surrounded before midnight."
Zishi?
The sailors looked at each other with bitterness in their mouths.
Since noon, they have been chasing with all their strength for most of the day.
Although the sailors had to rotate, eat, and rest midway, their physical strength was not easily restored. By this time, most sailors were already feeling weak.
It can be said that it is almost impossible to increase the sailing speed.
Jade Dragon.
Lu Yulong laughed and said, "The Tufei fleet can't catch up with us and looks a little discouraged. Everyone, slow down a little."
If it weren't for the east wind blowing all the time, it would be detrimental to the Jade Dragon Fleet. Lu Yulong has long wanted to fuck them.
As soon as the speed in front dropped, the distance between the two sides quickly shortened, and Dohi Yuuto behind him immediately felt it.
He perked up and turned to look at the guards surrounding him, "The sailors are all tired, so don't just look around stupidly. Go down quickly and help with the oars. Catch them first, and then come up to help fight."
The bodyguard and some nearby soldiers got out of the cabin with a grimace.
The cabin was stuffy, hot and had a strong smell of sweat. The group almost vomited as soon as they walked in.
But the military orders are like mountains, no matter how uncomfortable it is, you still have to do it.
The speed of the Doi finally increased, and finally it drove past and even passed the frigate in front.
Without the frigate blocking the way, the view of the Doi was much better.
Although it was almost late at night, Doi Yuuto could still see the Yulong that was tightly guarded in the center of the fleet ahead.
"A majestic general-level man is so afraid of death." Doi Yongto was very disdainful. "It seems that the Yulong is indeed seriously damaged. It is estimated that it will not be able to run away soon."
"Let all brothers come on. Let's catch up!"
"Yes!" There were sparse responses from all around.
The two fleets chased each other until midnight, but the Jade Dragon Fleet in front still maintained a long distance.
Lu Yulong raised his telescope and took a few glances.
"Send an order to the frigates Yichun, Kangning and Jingpeng behind them to fire a round of heavy crossbows to provoke the brave men."
The semaphore flashes.
Yichun and other three battleships quickly received the signal.
Their speed remained unchanged, and the heavy ballista at the stern that was ready to go creaked and raised its arrow.
At this time, the distance between the two fleets was a bit far, and even the heavy crossbows, let alone the broken crossbows, were well out of range.
So the three ships didn't take aim, just blasted, and let the soldiers break open the locks casually.
Rest, rest, rest!
Nine flaming heavy crossbow arrows flew into the air from the three ships, pulling out streaks of shining light in the sky, and finally crashed into the sea in front of the Doi.
Ha ha.
There was even a faint sound of ridicule from the officers and men of the Yichun three ships in the wind.
"It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense."
Doi Yongto slapped the side of the boat next to him, his face turned purple with anger.
It's just a messy shot, and he's using a heavy crossbow.
Who is Lu Yulong looking down on?
"Come here! Go down and let the sailors work hard and try to shorten the distance."
"Prepare all the broken crossbows. I will make those several broken war battalion-level ships look good."
Under normal circumstances, the range and power of Japanese pirate weapons are inferior to Yunchui.
But at this time, they were in a favorable position, and the arrows could fly faster and further with the help of the wind. As long as the distance was shortened, Po Nu might be able to attack the Jade Dragon Fleet.
Hum.
Doi Yuuto stared eerily ahead.
Once the enemy lowers some sails or raises fishing nets to resist crossbows, the speed will drop significantly, and then they will dominate.
"Yes!" The messenger hurriedly got out of the cabin again.
Not long after, a guard who was so tired that his eyes were straight ran up.
The man looked around and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"General, the formation of our ships is almost in a straight line. Otherwise, we should slow down a little and let other brothers catch up."
"Are you afraid of Mao?" Tobi Yongto said nonchalantly, "Our fleet is at the upper hand. Lu Yulong did not dare to stop the ship and attack us except for sending arrows to scare us."
"But," the guard swallowed, "it is late autumn now, not midsummer or midwinter, and the wind direction on the sea is always changing. What if..."
"so what?"
The fat and brave man has been chasing after him for a long time without success, and he has long been frustrated.
"The most powerful thing about a battleship is not the heavy crossbow or the broken crossbow, but the collision angle of the bow."
"Now Lu Yulong's bare butt is always facing our ram. I hope they dare to stop or come back to bump into it. Let's see if their stern is as hard as the ram."
Seeing that he was displeased, the personal guards did not dare to say anything more and had to retreat silently.
Rest, rest, rest!
The Yichun three ships ahead fired another round of heavy crossbows.
Nine crossbow arrows flew across the sky.
The bright light was like a slap after another, slapping the Doi Yongto hard on the face, making him tremble with anger.
The two fleets finally got a little closer.
"Aim all crossbows and fire!"
Give an order!
Rest, rest, rest!
Three huge crossbow arrows shot through the air, screaming and flying near the Yichun in an instant.
boom!
One of them hit the hull of the ship, causing the ship to shake slightly.
The other two were slightly deviated, and finally plunged into the sea water on both sides, making two splashes and causing splashes for a long time.
Seems to sense danger.
The speed of the entire Yulong fleet, including the Yichun, increased again, and they were soon out of the range of the Dofei's crossbow.
Dohi Yongto watched helplessly as his crossbow arrow fell into the sea, angry and anxious but helpless.
Another moment passed.
"General," the little guard ran over again, "the wind has stopped on the sea."
When the wind blows on the sea, the wind stops.
Doi Yongto looked up and saw that all the sails had withered.
Ha ha.
He was not surprised but delighted.
Without the sea breeze, if the ship wants to move, it depends on the condition of the ship on both sides, the weight of the ship, and the strength of the sailors on it.
"Yunchui's warships are generally heavier than ours, and their condition is not good. They can no longer escape. Order each ship to lower its sails immediately, and we will fight on them."
"General," said the little guard mother-in-law, "our current formation is too dangerous, we should wait for the other brothers."
"Get out!" Doi Yongto kicked the timid guy to the ground.
First latest.
