About fifty miles west of Xilong Island.
Crash.
The sea water echoed, gently swaying the two fleets facing each other east and west on the sea.
The Western Expedition.
"General," the young guard was a little confused, "What's going on with these Yunchui people?"
Ukawa Taishi remained silent.
He looked westward silently, his mind a little confused.
The fleet in front moved slowly like a dead snake, neither attacking nor returning.
However, as long as I exerted my strength to catch up, they would keep their distance and retreat; once I retracted, they would turn around and press forward.
There is always a certain distance between the two sides. They can't attack but can't attack, and they can't run away. It's confusing.
"They may be waiting for some order or follow-up fleet." Ukawa Daishi guessed.
After all, he brought more than 250 warships of various types, far more than Yun Chuiren on the opposite side.
Although Lu Ping'an and others are young and energetic, the strength of both sides is there, so it is reasonable for them not to dare to challenge.
"Ke Yunchuiren has no other warships in Jinlongtan or in the whole of Baekje." The little guard said.
"Don't worry about this." Since he couldn't figure it out, Ukawa Daishi didn't want to.
He silently withdrew his gaze and said, "We only need to defend the three food islands."
It's good that Yunchui people don't want to fight. He knew that his family was weak, and he was even more unwilling to start a fight.
Winter winter winter.
However, before Ukawa Taishi finished speaking, the earth-shattering sound of war drums came from the west.
The Zhennanguan fleet, which had always kept its distance in front, had already formed a charging formation at some point and was heading eastward with murderous intent.
Oops!
Ukawa Daishi's heart skipped a beat and he shouted subconsciously, "The whole army will fight!"
In fact, there was no need for him to shout. The moment he heard the sound of the drum, all the Japanese pirate warships were already in position, staring at the enemy in the west.
"Wind direction?" Ukawa Taishi asked.
The military advisor next to him looked embarrassed.
"General, it is spring and summer now, and the wind direction on the sea is unpredictable. Although the south wind is blowing north now. But..."
You won’t know after a while.
Ukawa Daishi nodded.
He was also in a hurry. At this time, the wind direction was almost whirling and blowing, and it was impossible to tell the direction of the wind.
But as long as it is not conducive to the enemy's attack, it is a good thing.
"We have more ships! The first batch of battle camps are on top. Let's see if the enemy attacks us again or teases us like before."
"yes!"
Hua Hua Hua.
Let the flag fly.
Ukawa Taishi's order flew forward quickly.
Thirty warships of the war camp level immediately lined up from south to north, without hesitation breaking away from the large force at the rear and heading westward in a menacing manner.
Quack, quack, quack.
The numerous trebuchets and heavy ballistae on the ship began to compare strings one by one, aiming far ahead.
west.
Broadcast signal.
Li Hebai on the deck had a calm expression.
He slapped the side of the boat hard.
"When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance. After going back and forth for three or four days, we finally received the signal from the Yuanning Mountains."
"We have all the Zhennanguan fleet." He shouted, "Go! Kill those battle battalions."
Hua Hua Hua.
The entire Zhennanguan fleet immediately used the three war general-class ships as the tip of the sword, and all the remaining war battalion-class ships came forward in an inverted triangle attack formation.
The two sides walked towards each other, and their speed slowly increased.
If they don't agree with each other, they will collide head-on.
Not long after, the general who faced the Japanese pirates could clearly see the battle at Zhennanguan even without a telescope.
They couldn't help but be surprised.
"Hurry! Send the order to General Yuchuan. Yun Chuiren and even the generals are pressing forward. This time, they are definitely serious."
Ukawa Taishi quickly received the signal from the front, but hesitated.
Yun Chui Ren's general level is here!
And those who can frighten or even scare away the generals are naturally the generals.
But Yun Chui's land is rich in resources, and the generals will sink as soon as they sink, and they can be used at will.
However, they are not good enough.
Nowadays, every Warlord-class ship in Yamato is surrounded by a dense circle of Warcamp-class ships, protecting them tightly for fear of any accident.
Send your own warrior class to the front to collide with Yun Chuiren's warrior class?
Let’s not talk about whether it can be bumped or not. Unless absolutely necessary, Ukawa Daishi would not even think about it.
"Send another sixty war camp-level ships up, and we must stop them."
Although there was no war general class, there were a total of ninety war camp class ships before and after the three war general class ships and sixty war camp class ships in Zhennanguan, and they were also stuck.
There should be no problem.
Ukawa Daishi was making calculations in his heart.
Sure enough, Li Hebai felt a little guilty when he saw the Japanese pirates approaching so many boats.
"Keep your distance and don't get too close. Shoot first!"
Rest, rest, rest!
The power and range of Yunchui's weapons have always been much stronger than those of the Japanese pirates, so he took the lead in launching the attack.
Boom boom boom!
The soldiers at Zhennanguan had long been looking forward to a real naval battle, and they took aim again and again with the crossbows.
Although the wind direction was a little messy now, most of the crossbow arrows still hit their targets, making the Japanese warships tremble again and again.
However, the Japanese generals did not even frown.
It's just a crossbow arrow, which can almost be ignored compared to the huge hull.
As long as it doesn't hit the keel or waterline, it's like a human being stabbed with a toothpick. The pain is certainly painful, but it is never fatal.
"Our ships are numerous and powerful, and the enemy is feeling weak in his heart. He doesn't dare to collide with us at all."
"Order, all ships hang fishing nets and be ready to put out fires and repair ships at any time. Everyone press on, and then shoot at them when they are within range."
They sneered.
As long as there is no need to fight with each other by the collision angle of the ship's bow, so what if the higher-level warrior class has more advanced weapons.
I am not afraid at all.
Not long after, both sides entered the attack range of the trebuchet.
The battle finally became intense.
Fireballs and stones all over the sky formed dazzling arch bridges, screaming and smashing into the target.
Before long, both sides suffered damage, and the battleship in front repeatedly emitted thick smoke.
Sailors and engineers in the cabins on the deck began to run around, desperately repairing the places damaged by the enemy.
"General," Li Hebai's personal guard couldn't help but say, "Isn't this kind of shooting a bit too boring?"
"You see, there is a considerable distance between the Japanese pirates who are shooting at us and the main fleet behind them. After we rush over and disperse them, there is still enough space. When the time comes, we can attack, retreat and defend. How about... "
"No." Li Hebai put down the telescope and shook his head gently.
"Do you know who the general is on the opposite side?"
"That's Ukawa Taishi. We weren't even born when he played water fighting. Will he leave us such a big gap?"
ah.
The little guard was a little dumbfounded.
"Perhaps what Ukawa Daichi secretly thinks is that they have many ships and are betting that we won't dare to step forward and use the horn?"
Ha ha.
Li Hebai laughed.
"War does sometimes require soldiers to gamble and gamble, but that's when they have to. We control the initiative now, and there is no need to gamble with the lives of so many brothers. And..."
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
He raised his hand and pointed forward.
"There is enough space between the two enemy fleets now. But as long as we make a big move to press forward, Ukawa Taishi from behind will immediately drive up the ship to squeeze our space."
"Once our ship knocks over the enemy in front of us, it will definitely lose its speed, and it will be their turn to hit us. Ukawa Taishi is waiting for that moment."
ah?
The little guard was a little dumbfounded.
Li Hebai smiled at him and said, "Take your time. Since the Japanese pirates like to shoot each other, we will comply with their wishes."
After speaking, he silently glanced at Yuanning Mountain to the north.
Anyway, the purpose of his trip was to contain Ukawa Taishi's men, not to eliminate them.
It doesn't matter.
