Report!
The messenger hurried to Haneda Yangxiang's side.
"General, there is news from the front that the Yunchui prisoners on each ship suddenly broke out in resistance and rebellion. Already more than ten battle camp-level ships suddenly turned around or even stopped sailing during the attack. We suffered heavy casualties."
What?
Haneda Hinata was stunned.
The military advisor next to him took the message, glanced at it, and yelled angrily, "Damn! You can't even control the prisoners. What do these captains do for food?"
"Quick!" He gave the order on behalf of the general, "Send an order to all warships. If there are Yunzhui prisoners on board, not a single one will be spared. Kill them all."
"yes!"
The messenger was about to leave, but he was stopped by Haneda Yangxiang.
"Wait a minute. Don't kill them. Just drive them all into the sea."
When the time comes, the entire sea is shouting for help, and he wants to see if the East China Sea Barrier can save his compatriots.
Yun Chui has always governed the world with benevolence and righteousness.
If Yang Miao doesn't save him, his future will be over once it gets publicized.
If rescued, the East China Sea Barrier would have to slow down or even stop the ship.
And if the battleship loses its speed advantage, no matter how hard and sharp the collision angle is, it will be useless.
At that time, who is afraid of whom?
The strategist and deputy general next to him suddenly brightened up and complimented him quickly, "Best greetings, general."
Hua Hua Hua.
The command flag flew, and the news quickly spread throughout the Haneda fleet.
For a time, all the warships carrying the prisoners of the North Customs made a commotion.
Countless Japanese pirate soldiers ran towards the sailor cabin and bottom cabin with shining swords.
Whenever they saw prisoners, they would either point at the oars and order them to jump into the sea, or stab them with a few swords and drive them into the water.

south.
Yang Miao fleet.
Each ship in the fleet requires a lot of space, and it was already dark. Even with a telescope, Yang Miao couldn't see exactly what was happening in front of him.
Report.
The sweaty messenger hurried over with the news.
"General, the Japanese pirates are driving the prisoners of the North Customs into the sea on a large scale. Now after all, our people are all on the sea. The generals of each ship have sent letters asking what to do?"
"That's unreasonable." Yang Miao's face suddenly sank.
The surrounding strategists also quickly understood the dirty nature of it, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Haneda Hinata is shameless!"
However, they could only curse but could not do anything.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded again.
Report!
Another messenger ran over.
"General, there is a Japanese pirate fleet about thirty miles east of us, with a size of about five. The flagship has the word Miyomizu on it."
Yang Miao took the information and glanced at it quickly.
He wasn't surprised at all, he just snorted and sneered.
"Search from the east? It seems that Haneda Youxiang only knows this trick."
But they were already prepared for this.
After speaking, Yang Miao waved directly.
"I understand." The deputy general next to him immediately left with the prepared battle plan.
Yang Miao nodded with satisfaction and turned to look south.
"Let the eye ship pay attention to the rear of the fleet, and at the same time issue an order to Jiuyuan County to continue to find out the movements of Ishikawa Taki."
The strength of Haneda Hinata in front is there.
No matter how hard he tried, whether it was a direct attack, a long-term delay, or a detour to the east or west to outflank him.
Yang Miao has a way to deal with it, so there is no need to worry at all.
On the contrary, if Ishikawa Taki from the south were to press forward as a whole, it would be a big trouble.
"yes!"
The soldiers performed their duties and left one after another.
"General," Military Advisor Ma stood up and said with a frown, "What about the prisoners of Beihai Customs who were driven into the sea in front of us?"
"What should we do?" Yang Miao sneered, "We are here to fight Haneda Yangxiang. We order all the warships to continue to attack. No one is allowed to stop."
As for the prisoners at Beihaiguan, most of them died in battle last year due to freezing. This year Masato Nei sent many more to Gorros.
Nowadays, the water may be full of cries for help, but the number of people is actually not as high as imagined.
The East China Sea Barrier has more than 4,000 battle camp-level sailors. If we stopped to rescue them, we might be hit and sunk by Japanese pirates, and more people would die.
"I understand." Commander Ma nodded.
Yang Miao is the commander-in-chief, so he only needs to grasp the general direction, and the specific details are what they, the strategists, worry about.
"Come here, order the front troops not to stop and continue the attack. At the same time, put down the boats and rubber boats, and save as many prisoners in the water as we can."
After saying that, Master Ma couldn't help but glance in the direction of Baekje.
The year before last, Ren Ning led the Xingluo Legion to cross the sea to sneak attack on the Japanese pirates' Xilong Food Island.
Since that time, rubber boats, a new type of small boat that is light and durable and can carry a lot of people and cargo, have entered the East China Sea Barrier's field of vision, attracting the attention of many generals.
As the saying goes, the one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon.
Yuan Xingwen and Lu Yulong from Zhennanguan were the first to buy some, and they were full of praise for them after trying them out.
They also intend to promote it throughout the navy and use it as lifeboats, transport ships or reconnaissance boats, eye boats, etc.
Unfortunately, before the East China Sea Barrier could make a decision, Lu Fuhai entered Taili Temple, and the matter was settled.
But Yang Miao still stocked up on some, which will come in handy.
The news spread quickly to the front.
Yongjing, Yu Haojiang breathed a sigh of relief.
He no longer paid attention to the struggle in the water, but stared at the boat that was getting closer and closer.
"Woo drum, attack. Let me take the boatman to the bottom of the sea."
Boom, boom, boom.
In an instant, all the war drums sounded like thunder.
Boo hoo hoo.
The heavy crossbows and trebuchets on the deck fired ammunition continuously.
Forces are mutual, and collisions are also mutual.
The more vitality you destroy the enemy, the safer your own warship will be when it collides with it. Otherwise, even if he kills a thousand enemies, he will probably injure himself eight hundred times.
The battle was in full swing, and no battleship general thought about killing an enemy before retreating to rest.
Wei Dashan in the water didn't know this.
Ignoring the bruise on his head, he leaned on the long oar and swam towards his brother next to him.
"Are you OK?"
Ha ha.
That man also just emerged from the water, panting and laughing wildly.
"Something's wrong! Not only did I survive, but I also slapped Gou Ri's oar before jumping into the sea, which can be considered as revenge for the past few days."
"One word, cool!"
"That's good." Wei Dashan breathed out.
He slammed the two oars together and quickly formed a simple raft.
"Don't rest yet, look around to see if there are any seriously injured brothers, and try to pull them over as much as you can. Just hold on, those boats at the East China Sea Barrier should be coming to rescue us."
These days, these prisoners have never had a full meal, but they have to do a lot of physical work every day, and they are all exhausted.
Now it is no longer enough to hold the oar and float on the water, and it is really difficult to try to save other people.
However, the man didn't say anything, he just nodded, turned around and gritted his teeth and swam towards a captive floating in the water, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Wei Dashan also dragged the raft and swam to another target. As he swam, he shouted loudly on the sea, "Brothers, hold on, don't give up. Our parents are waiting for us to go home."
