What made this nobleman even more desperate was that the Mojialou ship named Emperor Yu seemed to wake up after a short period of confusion at the beginning of the war.

With its huge body advantage and firepower superiority, it was impossible for the Yue small boat to attack effectively at all, because the road within a hundred steps around it was almost blocked by it, while the Mo family's ship could use the building ship to cover and reorganize the formation.

Now that the body of the big ship was slowly turning, it was obvious that it understood what it should do, it was preparing to turn the ship sideways to block the retreat of dozens of Vietnamese ships nearby.

The huge building ship has a feeling of unattainability, the building ship against the building ship, and the small boat can't shake such a big thing at all.

Several small ships tried to besiege it once, but the extremely high deck and hull allowed the Mo musketeers on the building to shoot calmly.

Even if it is hand-to-hand combat, how can the people on a big ship be compared to a small boat?

Now the Vietnamese ships that broke into the left flank of the Mo family are already fighting with those small sailing boats of the Mo family, and once this building ship is turned around to form a suppression, these dozens of ships will be completely finished.

This nobleman had hatred in his heart, because many of his family members and relatives died in the Sishang Hegemonic War, and the Mo family also robbed almost all of the land of Yue in Jiangbei, freed slaves and people, and many nobles moved back to Wudi Huiji and became increasingly impoverished.

He was also a brave man, and when he saw that the Yuhuang was about to turn to success, his eyes were fixed on the rudder at the stern.

A little farther away, the three small boats of the Mo family were engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the three small boats of the Yue Kingdom, and he did not choose to support, but gave a loud order to beat the drums, so that the oarsmen accelerated, and after going around the vicinity of the six fighting boats, he quickly turned with the help of their cover, and went straight to the stern of the Yu Huang.

That's where the rudder is, and if you destroy it, it will be difficult for the ship to turn, and maybe there will be a chance to destroy a Mo family's ship.

The stern was also the weakest part of the ship's firepower, and he chose a good position, using the cover of six boats to avoid the Yuhuang's muskets and cannons, and took advantage of the speed of the small boat to slip to the stern.

Not far away, a small boat of the Mo family also noticed him, and seemed to guess his intentions when he flashed out of the six ships of the scuffle without going to support, and was turning to lean in this direction.

"Beat the drums!"

The nobles shouted loudly, and the drums suddenly became rapid.

The oarsmen below the deck heard the sound of the drums and used all their strength to shake the huge oars with the sound of the drums.

The boat was like an arrow off the string, breaking through the water and leaving a white wave mark on the rudder of the Yuhuang.

A similar drum beat also sounded on the Mo family's small boat, and the same drum sound, the same meaning, was to ask the oarsman to increase the speed of the boat as fast as possible, in order to intercept the Yue Guo ship before it hit the stern.

At this point, the test is the oarsmen and control of the boats on both sides.

The drums beat faster and faster, and the Yue nobles held their bows and shot towards the Mojia ship not far away, and the archers on the boat also moved the same as him.

On the opposite side of the Mo family's boat, there was also the smoke of muskets and lead bullets.

Some of the Yue people, who did not have bows and crossbows in their hands, grasped the wood of the boat gang with one hand and their weapons in the other, half-squatting on the boats, accumulating strength, waiting for the melee that would follow.

Several strong men wearing rhino armor skins with neck tattoos exposed held a few axes and waited silently.

Getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, although the Yuhuang discovered this situation, it was helpless, the stern was the blind spot of the ship, and it could only rely on those small boats to protect it.

After all, the boat of the Yue Kingdom won in this dragon boat competition that was a matter of life and death, and was the first to hit the stern rudder of the Yu Huang, and after a loud noise and shaking, the small boat of the Mo family also hit the small boat of the Yue Kingdom.

The sailors who were half-crouching on the boat quickly got up with this impact.

Bows and muskets were dropped, spears were spurred, and hand-to-hand swords and shields jumped aboard the opposing ship, killing the enemy while using everything they had learned to ensure that they were not killed.

Short swords, axes, brass sticks, and short guns pierced into the flesh or pierced on leather armor, splattering clouds of blood.

On the Yu Huang, panicked sailors wearing indigo-dyed close-fitting shirts rushed to the stern of the ship and fired their muskets downward, and several Yue people were immediately knocked down and fell into the water.

The brawny men in rhinoceros armor swung axes and slashed at the rudder.

…………

In the Vietnamese fleet, Xu clenched his fists.

He didn't expect the defeat of the Yue Navy to be so rapid, less than an hour of fighting, the left flank of the Yue Army was finished, even if it seized the upper reaches of the water, even if the right flank of the Mo family was just for defense, even if the Mo family's building ship did not seize the opportunity, but the left flank of the Yue Navy had collapsed.

The advent of firearms changed the water war, which was not impossible to deal with, but it required the price of blood.

It is true that the Mo family's boat masters lacked actual combat, but their tactics were those of the gunpowder age, and they were also inexperienced for the Yue State, which had the experience of dealing with Chu and Wu, rather than the Mo family, which mainly used firearms.

I thought that I could contain the right flank of the Mo Jiazhou Division for a period of time and find a way to find an opportunity to break through on the left flank, but the battle on the right flank of the Mo family was basically over.

Using the building boat as a mobile fortress and using a small sailing oarboat to learn the tactics of the turtle to defend the building boat made the previous experience of the Yue Kingdom meaningless.

The Mo family relied on the advantages of numbers, firearms, and the number and specifications of ships, and relied on this somewhat cumbersome tactic to squeeze the space of the Yue Navy little by little, crushing the last bit of pride of the Yue Kingdom.

After fighting fiercely for so long, none of the Mo family's seventeen ships were taken, captured, or sunk.

On the contrary, on the side of Yue Guo, a building ship rushed towards a Mo family's building ship with great bravery, and it also seized the opportunity to slash over, and was only hit four times in the process.

It is said that there is a great possibility of capturing one ship in this way, but I don't want to hook it up just now, the guns and cannons on the Mo family ship are fired, and then a bunch of iron mines are thrown.

There were more than 500 fighting sailors on the building ship of the Mo family, and there were only more than 300 fighting sailors on the building ship of the Yue Kingdom.

Xu Yi originally planned to rely on the right-wing deception to lure the left wing of the Mo family to secede, but it was simply unrealistic to actually fight.

In the past, they relied on bows and crossbows to fight, and if they wanted to win, they would definitely pursue them.

The Mo family's side has been learning from the tortoise, tried to deceive, and as soon as they retreated, the artillery on the building ship over there was a fierce bombardment, and they did not pursue at all, but continued to clear the small boats that were fighting together.

Xu Yan is also the first person in Yue to be proficient in water warfare, but where has he ever seen such a tactic?

Those small boats surrounded the building ships like dolls that could not do without their mother's milk, and they fought hand-to-hand with the Vietnamese ships around them under the cover of the building boats.

The biggest result that Xu Xu could see now was that the rudder of a Mo family's building ship in the easternmost part was destroyed by warriors.

As for the rest...... The commander of the Mo Jiazhou Division was like a crab hidden in a conch shell, riding on the largest warship but not rushing to the front line at all, just constantly beating drums and raising flags in the distance.

Several times I wanted to break through and kill the generals, but I was beaten back by those reserved reserves, and the number of the Mo family's fleet was much more than that of the Yue Kingdom, so what could I do?

By now in the fierce battle, victory is basically impossible.

After the right wing of the Mo family cleared the small boats of the Yue Kingdom, they began to turn to counterattack, and gradually seized the upper reaches of the hydrology at an extremely slow speed, and were already ready to outflank.

The Chinese army is in a scuffle, and the main force of the Mo family has also caused the main force of the Yue Navy to suffer heavy losses, and it cannot form an effective offensive at all, even if a few small boats are destroyed, the remaining small sailing oars of the Mo family are still around the building boats, and the system is not chaotic.

Xu thought this tactic was ...... It's like a big turtle carrying a fortress on its back, very slow, but unable to break it, crushing it little by little, leaving him with nowhere to go.

There is nowhere to escape.

The harbor was not densely packed with copper and iron cannons like the northern shore, and hiding in the harbor was a dead end.

These big turtles swim slowly, but there is always a moment when they will crush themselves.

Building boats and sailing boats are not sailboats, a large number of oarsmen need supplies, need to rest, cannot fight for a long time, let alone run when the situation is not good, and without the logistics of the coast, these sailing boats cannot go anywhere.

Only the left flank of the Mo family, which had some success, the rudder of the ruined Lou ship was lying there, but the surrounding boats still provided protection, and the approaching Yue boats were defeated by the guns and muskets on the Lou ship one by one, even if they couldn't move, it was still difficult to take.

Now the reserve in Xu Xu's hands is only one building ship and thirty small boats.

The right flank of the Mo family had begun to slowly occupy the upper reaches of the hydrology, from the turtle defensive formation to the offensive formation, and the four building ships were across the river, ready to be thrown into the outflanking of his Chinese army.

The Chinese army can no longer hold on. Half of the battle on the right flank of the own side did not have much success, but the opposite side had already begun to change flags, and the flotilla on its left flank had begun to charge forward and prepare to outflank.

As for the building ship that was crashed and the rudder was destroyed, the Mo family seemed to have given up at all, and instead let the rest of the building ships and small boats on its left flank begin to sweep towards the center, seizing the upper hand.

Their own left flank and the central army are finished.

Failure is only a matter of time, Xu knows it very well in his heart.

So he set his sights on the Mo Jialou ship that had been ruddered.

I thought to myself, this battle must be lost, but even if it fails, I have to destroy a building ship of the Mo family, give an explanation to myself, and give an explanation to the king, so I can't say that a building ship of the Mo family boat division is not destroyed, and it is convenient for me to be defeated immediately, right?
