The Yuezhou soldiers' melee combat was indeed a bit overwhelming for the Fuso Navy. However, as one of the best generals of the Fuso Navy, Fujiwara Shinichi, who had never seen anything like this before, quickly calmed down and ordered a quick counterattack.
The Yuezhou soldiers were not afraid of death, and so were the Fusang warriors. After a brief panic, they quickly organized and prepared to fight back.
Holding a sword and shield, he no longer restrained himself from the previous resistance, quickly retreated, and released the Yuezhou soldiers who had forcibly landed on the ship.
Since the opponent wants to fight them in close combat, they are not afraid. In terms of close combat, they don't know who will win.
At the same time, he ordered the warship to move slowly, widen the distance between the two sides, and use force to break the shackles of the arrow rope. The Yuezhou soldiers who boarded the ship were like turtles in an urn, trying to escape with no way out.
The Yuezhou soldiers' surprise attack caught Fujiwara Shinichi off guard, but now that they are here and all have shown up, let's fight with real swords and guns to see how powerful the so-called Yuezhou Navy is.
As time passed, more and more Yuezhou soldiers boarded the ship, and the two sides opened fire directly on the ship.
Standing in the command cabin, Fujiwara Shinichi looked at the fierce battle in front of him and issued various orders in an orderly manner.
He looked far away, always looking at the farthest warship ahead, which was the flagship ship of the Yuezhou Navy. Although it was far away, he could still vaguely see the figure of a young man standing on the bow. .
He was surrounded by a large group of soldiers protecting him. Judging from his figure and posture, you could probably guess that this person was probably the supervisor, Su Qian.
As the person in charge of the war in Dongzhou, Shinichi Fujiwara somewhat admired him for rushing to the front without fear of danger.
Leading by example, setting an example by oneself, no wonder these soldiers under his command were all screaming and charging without fear of death.
On the battlefield, although he didn't say a word, he stood at the forefront. As long as he could see his figure, he could inspire the soldiers' bloody spirit.
Fujiwara Shinichi knew this very well. He did not expect that in the declining Great Liang, there were still such a few outstanding generals.
The more this happened, the more interested Shinichi Fujiwara became as the inspector, and he would capture him alive no matter what.
Under his command, several warships behind him quickly distanced themselves, firing cannons and rockets from the hull, aiming at the flagship Su Qi'an was riding, and firing a salvo.
There was a huge explosion, mixed with the surging waves. Under the cover of artillery, several Fuso warships that had escaped from the landing and boarded the ship quickly rushed towards the flagship.
They knew that as long as they could destroy Su Qian's flagship, not to mention winning the battle, they would at least destroy more than half of the opponent's morale.
Once the flagship is sunk, it will definitely be a major blow. If you want to break the deadlock, you will have to make strategic moves in war games.
The Fuso warship at full power quickly headed towards the Yuezhou flagship. Their idea was very good, but the Yuezhou Navy thought the same way.
Just as the Fuso Navy was getting closer and closer to the Yuezhou flagship, suddenly, three or four Yuezhou warships rushed out from both sides of them.
The two sides started fighting without saying a word, and suddenly the battle circle fell into fierce fighting again. For a while, the navies of both sides were once again in a stalemate.
You came and went, and the fight was lively. At the same time, no one noticed that near the sea area where the battle broke out between the two navies, several small boats that could only carry about a dozen people, with the help of the diffuse smoke, Slowly sail away from this sea area, and disappear in the blink of an eye.
Judging from the direction they were going, it should be the battle area where Wu Dingguo, Su Yong and Sakai Jiro broke out.
When the danger was temporarily away, a young man walked out of the cabin on one of the small boats. This person was none other than Su Qi'an.
No one would have thought that Su Qi'an, who went to Yuezhou to support him, did not come with the Yuezhou Navy.
Instead, after a fierce battle broke out in the ambush sea area, he quietly took a few small boats and left quietly.
Su Qian's request for help from Yuezhou was basically no secret as the war started.
After seeking assistance from the Yuezhou Navy, Su Qi'an made a bold decision after careful consideration on the way here.
All 20,000 Yuezhou naval forces were handed over to Zhou Tai's command, and he followed with his confidants. Once the war started, he would leave and take the people away.
Being discovered and asking for help, and then arrogantly leading people back to defend, it can be said that all of his routes can be mastered by anyone who cares.
In normal times, Su Qi'an wouldn't think it was a big deal, but this is a war, an important battle that determines whether Dongzhou can quell the pirates and Japanese pirates. It is the stupidest thing for his traces to be grasped by the enemy.
Judging from the current battlefields, both sides are looking for opportunities to break through the stalemate.
The battlefield that can open up the most breakthrough right now is the battle between Wu Dingguo, Xie Cang and Sakai Jiro.
As long as they can break through, the remaining Dongzhou Navy can encircle Xie Cang's troops who landed on the island, and it will be more than enough to capture Zhoushan Island.
One or two battlefields have been destroyed. When the time comes, it will be more than enough to turn around and deal with Fujiwara Shinichi's Fuso Navy.
Therefore, Su Qi'an decided to take advantage of Fujiwara Shinichi's navy to be restrained and quickly rush to Wu Dingguo and Su Yong's side to direct the battle. ..
It's not that they don't trust, but that time is urgent. His arrival, no matter what, can at least be combined with the current battle situation to see if there are other tactics.
As for the Yuezhou Navy, after being handed over to Zhou Tai for command, Zhou Tai was indeed one of Su Kang's outstanding generals. The tactics just now were all directed by Zhou Tai.
Su Qi'an looked at the fierce battle ahead in the sea behind and nodded repeatedly. Zhou Tai fought well in this battle. He not only mobilized the enthusiasm of the Yuezhou soldiers, but also launched counterattacks from time to time, making the opponent unable to resist.
Su Qi'an gave Zhou Tai only one order, which was not to annihilate the opponent, but at least to drag the Fuso Navy until the other two battlefields were over, unable to move.
Judging from the current battle situation, this Fuso Navy will not be able to leave this battlefield for a long time.
This was also the reason why Su Qi'an was able to leave calmly. But before leaving, Su Qi'an felt inexplicably familiar with Zhou Tai's command of the battle.
This feeling of familiarity was hard to describe. For a moment, Su Qi'an always felt that Zhou Tai had been seen somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
However, due to the anxiety of the war in Dongzhou, Su Qi'an could only suppress this inexplicable familiarity deep in his heart. Maybe he was overthinking it, or maybe his nerves were tense.
As their boat slowly approached, it took about half an hour for Su Qi'an to finally reach the sea area where Wu Dingguo, Su Yong and Sakai Jiro had a fierce battle.
This battle lasted for a long time, at least for an hour or two. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, reaching as many as five thousand, but even so, no one took a step back.
You don't even need to get close. Looking from a distance, you can feel the brutality of the war breaking out in the sea ahead.
The smell of blood mixed with gunpowder smoke filled the air above the sea. Upon learning of Su Qi'an's arrival, Wu Dingguo and Su Yong, who were in charge of commanding the operations on the first ship, were transferred from the first ship to the flagship warship in the middle in batches. Read the book
The three of them boarded the ship to meet each other, and there was no time to reminisce about the past. The expressions of the three of them were tense, especially Wu Dingguo and Su Yong. They had experienced continuous fierce battles. The armor on their bodies was much damaged, and their faces and bodies were covered with bruises. There was blood splattering.
This was caused by the opponent's surprise attack on the ship just half an hour ago, and a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the Fuso warriors.
The two of them looked a little tired. Su Qian nodded and said, "Great Governor, Su Yong, you have worked hard."
"Before coming, I observed the situation on the battlefield. For now, we can no longer fight Jiro Sakai. If we continue to fight like this, the battle will probably end in a draw."
"In normal times, this might be a great victory, but right now I hope you can break through and break the stalemate on this battlefield. Only in this way can the stalemate in this battle be broken and the balance of victory tilt in our favor."
What Su Qi'an said, the two of them didn't know. Before the future, the two of them had organized a raid team to carry out raids, but without exception, they were beaten back by the Japanese pirates.
Sakai Jiro is different from last time, no
There was little chance of saving one's life, but regardless of the casualties, the fight started.
As for Wu Dingguo and Su Yong's intentions, Sakai Jiro seemed to have known for a long time. He was like a nail, nailed here, in order to stop the 20,000 Dongzhou navy here and prevent them from moving forward.
Of course Su Qi'an knew that the two men's attack was thwarted. He had no intention of blaming him. After a brief silence, he spoke.
"So if you want to break the deadlock, you have to take a dangerous step and gather all the warships that can move. Just like you did when you covered Xie Cang's troops, move directly towards them. We will engage in close combat and recruit a suicide squad at the same time. The number should be at least 3,000 people. Above, under the cover of the large force, we will rush straight to the opponent's flagship."
"Inspector, isn't this plan a bit too risky?" Wu Dingguo, whose eyes flashed at the side, fell silent for a brief moment after hearing Su Qi'an's plan and then spoke.
Although Su Yong on the side did not speak, his expression also expressed some concern about Su Qi'an's plan.
It's not that they are afraid of death, but this plan is very bold. Even if the previous raid team is defeated, they can at least withdraw under most of the cover.
But now, to stop the death squads, to put it bluntly, it means to have the attitude of never returning.
Riding on a warship, they rushed in desperately like a steel knife. There were no longer reinforcements covering them around and behind them like before.
Their only reinforcements are themselves. Once they fail, they will be dead.
It's not that they haven't thought about attacking the opponent's flagship, but the protection of the flagship can be called an iron wall.
Not to mention the Fuso Navy, the flagship of their Dongzhou Navy was surrounded by at least seven or eight other warships.
Even if they broke in, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, but they also knew that once they succeeded in breaking in and defeated the opponent's flagship, Jiro Sakai's naval force would basically lose half.
Whether it is a land battle or a naval battle, if the opponent's general is killed and the headquarters is captured, victory is basically guaranteed.
This is what it means to capture the thief first, capture the king, and then the army will take the general's head from it.
