On top of the Ming army's flagship, fire was burning.
As Kato Hiroki launched a kerosene attack on the battleship, the sails on the flagship were quickly ignited by kerosene.
The soaring fire reflected on the sea surface, looking like a burning pillar of fire, soaring into the sky.
Kato Hiroki was overjoyed, and then changed direction and started to board the ship again from another direction.
On the giant ship, Xu Da frowned slightly when he saw the fire igniting, and then ordered the sailors to quickly untie the sails.
When the treasure shipyard was building treasure ships, they considered the problem of being attacked by enemy fire.
A large amount of sand, soil and water are stored on the deck all year round for the purpose of extinguishing fires.
As for the open flame on the sail, it is more troublesome, but it is not impossible.
Xu Da asked the sailors on the ship to start to unfold all the sails on the ship's mast, and then untie all the ropes.
Using the power of the wind, the sails of the ship were blown down directly, and the car was abandoned to save the car.
Although the sail will eventually be burned to ashes, it will not affect the rest of the hull.
This was the idea proposed by Li Jin at the time. The sail could be made relatively flexible and could fall off quickly when attacked by fire to avoid igniting other parts of the hull.
As Xu Da's order was issued, the ship began to put out the fire in an orderly manner, and the Ming troops on the ship also participated.
The Japanese pirates, who were originally suppressed, were suddenly no longer blocked by the Ming army. They climbed up the ropes like crazy and climbed onto the giant ship.
In the end, with the efforts of the Ming army and sailors, all the fires on the giant ship were extinguished, and the sails were successfully blown off by the wind.
Fortunately, the ship's mast was not affected. This is absolutely great news for the Ming army.
But at the same time, the Japanese pirates finally boarded this huge ship that they had longed for.
After Kato Hiroki changed directions, he found that the Ming army was really busy putting out the fire and did not take into account that he and others were boarding the ship.
No longer hesitating, Kato Hiroki went into battle personally this time and led his most elite gangsters to forcefully board the battleship.
After a short climb, Kato Hiroki boarded the Ming army's battleship. However, he did not launch a reckless attack. Instead, he calmly waited for all his subordinates to come up before launching an attack on the Ming army's deck.
At this time, the Ming army had already fought with the Japanese pirates from other directions, and the huge battleship was filled with shouts of killing.
Kato Hiroki had a clear purpose, and with thousands of people, he rushed straight towards the direction of the command of the Ming army on the deck.
There are less than 300 people around Xu Da at the moment, but these people are all Xu Da's old subordinates. They have followed Xu Da through life and death for so many years, so it can be said that they are connected with each other.
These people were originally Xu Da's reserve team. The moment he saw Kato Hiroki, Xu Da knew that he could not wait any longer and stood up straight.
He shouted coldly in the direction of Kato Hiroki, "Brothers, kill me!!"
Saying that, Xu Da drew out the sword from his waist and rushed in the direction of Kato Hiroki.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Although Xu Da and Kato Hiroki have never met, they both know that the other party must be the leader of the enemy.
Capture the thief first and capture the king. The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road.
The two streams of people quickly collided.
Judging from the number of people, it seems that the number of Japanese pirates is greater, but war is never determined by the number of people.
As soon as the two sides fought, the Japanese pirates and their group were killed by three hundred personal guards led by Xu Da.
Xu Da's personal guards are all wearing iron armor and holding sharp swords. They are tall and have indifferent eyes.
They are truly the best of the best who have emerged from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield. Their killing skills can be said to have reached their peak.
In addition, the equipment they carry is simply not comparable to the Japanese pirates.
Although the Japanese pirates in front of them were shouting fiercely, they were wearing coarse linen shirts and had no defense at all.
In front of the sharp blade, he was like paper, being chopped up and slaughtered by his bodyguards.
The long knife in the Japanese pirate's hand struck the iron armor, but it would only leave a faint mark and could not break the armor at all.
Back and forth, as soon as the two sides fought, the Japanese pirates already suffered heavy losses, and more than half of them fell in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Kato Hiroki's excitement and passion for just boarding the battleship suddenly cooled down.
You must know that in order to seize this huge battleship, Kato Hiroki led his most fierce men.
These people usually kill people like crazy and do all kinds of evil. Among the ferocious Japanese pirates, they are also the best.
He originally thought that the Ming army was only powerful with firearms. When he boarded the big ship, he would be able to chop melons and vegetables, completely defeat the Ming army and seize the warship.
Unexpectedly, chopping melons and vegetables is indeed chopping melons and vegetables, but the target of chopping melons and vegetables is himself.
No matter what Kato Hiroki thought, Inoue Ichiro now regretted boarding this fatal battleship. He now regretted agreeing to Kato Hiroki to come together to attack the Ming army.
At that time, he should have insisted on his opinion and stayed on Shuangyu Island honestly.
Now the Ming army is like a god of death, and may cut off his head at any time, making him feel as if he has fallen into an ice cave.
After a brief period of tranquility, the Ming army began to charge again. The target of this charge was Kato Hiroki.
This time, Xu Da wanted to kill the enemy leader directly with his sword.
Covered in blood, Xu Da naturally went to the front line to fight. He practiced martial arts at a young age and his martial arts skills were also very strong.
When he was in command, he could sit firmly in the middle of the army and strategize.
When desperate times are needed, Xu Da can also mount his horse with a gun, fight with his life, and turn the opponent's killers over on their backs.
Xu Da's eyes were fixed on Kato Hiroki in front of him, and he kept moving his hands, slashing and killing the Japanese pirates in front of him.
As time went by, the Japanese pirates were completely frightened by Xu Da. They yelled and fled in all directions.
No matter how brave these people were, they still lost all courage in the face of the cold killing machine, fled directly to the side of the ship, and plunged into the sea without looking back.
The defeat lasted only a moment. Kato Hiroki stared dumbfoundedly at his subordinate Nobushige, leaving him just like that.
Ichiro Inoue, who was on the side, saw that the situation was not good, and accompanied the defeated troops, and fled long ago.
Only then did Kato Hiroki think of turning around and running away. Unfortunately, he was targeted by Xu Da. How could he be let go so easily?
Xu Da led his guards to catch up with Kato Hiroki and waved his hand to chop off Kato Hiroki's head.
Kato Hiroki heard the sound behind him and knew something was wrong. He quickly rolled on the spot to see if Xu Da's blade had escaped.
But there was a blood mark on his face.
Today, Kato Hiroki only has five confidants accompanying him, and the others have long since fled for their lives. These people were surrounded by Xu Da and others in the center, and it seemed that they were doomed.
When Kato Hiroki reached this point, he knew that he would definitely die, so he simply stopped running away, and the ferocity in his body was aroused from then on.
He roared towards the sky, pulled out his Japanese sword, and slashed at Xu Da with all his strength.
However, in the face of absolute strength, courage cannot change any outcome. Kato Hiroki was eventually killed by Xu Da with a single sword.
His confidants were chopped into pieces by the guards.
With the death of Kato Hiroki in battle, the rebellion gradually ceased on Xu Da's flagship.
The Ming army relied on its superb killing skills to teach the Japanese pirates a good lesson.
There were corpses everywhere on the deck, and the ship was full of traces of battle, with swords and axes slashing and slashing everywhere.
But the elite soldiers of the Beijing camp were worthy of helping Zhu Yuanzhang wipe out the world. These Japanese pirates were still tough bandits in nature.
The gap between the fierce bandits and the organized army is like a natural chasm.
On Xu Da's flagship, the corpses of Japanese pirates were scattered everywhere. Although the Ming army also had some battle dead, the battle losses were very few compared to the Japanese pirates.
The battle on the flagship was over, but the battle elsewhere was still in full swing.
However, as Xu Da's previous analysis said, time is on the side of the Ming army. As time goes by, this group of Japanese pirates will eventually be defeated by the Ming army.
If these Japanese pirates don't retreat by daybreak, they won't be able to retreat even if they want to.
An hour passed in an instant, and the shouts of killing on the sea gradually stopped.
Although the Japanese pirates tried their best to seize the Ming army's warships, under the stubborn resistance of the Ming army, these Japanese pirates were ultimately unable to seize a Ming army's warship.
However, until dawn, these Japanese pirates did not receive the retreat signal from their leader.
Only a few people realized that something was wrong and slipped away quietly, while most of the other pirates were left at the port of the unknown island.
There is no doubt that these people will sleep in this sea forever.
After dawn, Xu Da issued an order to sink all Japanese pirate ships in sight, leaving no survivors.
In front of the giant warships of the Ming army, these Japanese warships were just like toys. Xu Da was not even interested in accepting them.
After all, if we want to take over these ships and send troops to board them, we may face another fierce battle.
As Xu Da's order was conveyed, a thunderous explosion sounded in the nameless port, and then a ship was blown to pieces in the thunder, leaving only countless wooden planks floating in the port.
