The war-hardened Kayama Hisataka had already sensed that the war was developing in a direction unfavorable to them, and although he still loudly reprimanded his subordinates for fighting bravely to kill the enemy, but the difference in strength made his efforts ineffective.

Seeing that the war continues like this, it won't be long before it is estimated that those temporarily incorporated pirates and others are really going to be defeated and flee, if they don't change their formation, they will definitely be annihilated here by Hongtang at that time.

Before, Kayama Hisataka was still full of confidence, believing that with the numerical superiority of the fleet, even if he could not defeat Hongtang's department, he could still stalemate with him in the Amami Sea. It would be a great achievement to wait until his lord Shimazu Iehisa mobilized people from the Kagoshima headquarters, or insisted on leaving on his own until the Hongtang headquarters was short of supplies.

The Ryukyu Kingdom was in a very important location, and it had many obvious geographical advantages compared to Samosa, which was a rare source of economy. For Satsuma, which did not deal with the Tokugawa shogunate, if it wanted to continue to maintain a certain degree of independent development, it could not give up this source of interests for so long.

Therefore, Hisataka Kayama knew very well that neither he nor the daimyo of Shimazu Iehisa could let Ryukyu Wanghuo regain their control and regain their freedom.

Now that the defeat has appeared, if the battle continues like this, I am afraid that all the living forces will be consumed on this sea, and then the island will be empty, if Hong Tang takes advantage of the situation, there is a chance that the five islands will change hands from the hands of Huashan Jiugao.

"Give the secret order, retreat!" Hisakama gritted his teeth, stared at his bloodshot eyes, and gave orders with hatred.

It didn't take long for the Hongtang warriors to suddenly find that the pressure on their bodies was much less, and the battle was fought until now, under the situation of great physical exertion, everyone finally fought with a breath of blood and bravery, and whoever could hold on to the end would be able to win the final victory.

As a soldier trained in accordance with the army's training method, although the team members suffered a lot of casualties, but under the leadership and encouragement of their respective captains and captains, there was still no wavering, but as the battle continued, it was inevitable that there would be physical exhaustion.

The Japanese clan is not bad on this side, although the pirates have such and such shortcomings, Danshuikeng is on the battlefield of real knives and guns, they dare to fight hard, not afraid of death, but they have been honed by working on the knife edge over the years. Especially as the mainstay of the team, the Japanese samurai took on the most important offensive action, and most of Hongtang's strength was used to fight against the Japanese samurai, so the pressure on the pirates' side was much less.

But suddenly, the offensive of the Japanese warriors weakened a lot, which was not obvious, and the change was not too big, so although the Hongtang team members were aware, no one thought much about it, until a certain moment, the Japanese quietly transferred back to rest for a while, and the samurai who had rested for a while were killed again, so that the tired Hongtang team members were caught off guard, and they were suddenly pushed back a few feet away by the Japanese people, and more than a dozen team members were injured.

The same scene also appeared in more than a dozen other battlefields, and when the Hongtang team members regained their foothold and wanted to fight back, the Japanese who were still fighting bravely in front of them suddenly turned around and retreated to their own warship with agility and dexterity.

I don't know when, the warship of the Japanese people has been separated from the Hongtang warship, and as the Japanese people jumped back to their warships one by one, the Hongtang team members wanted to pursue again, but to no avail. At this time, even if a few agile team members were able to follow the Japanese warriors and jump onto the opponent's warship, but without follow-up support, it was a meat bun beating a dog - there was no return, and finally the captains and captains of each team shouted and ordered everyone to stop, turned their heads and killed the pirate warship on the other side.

It was only at this time that the Japanese general Kayama Hisataka issued an order to the pirates to retreat, but at this moment, how could the members of Hongtang's team let the pirates leave easily! More than 20 Japanese main warships caught the Hongtang team members off guard in advance, but at this time, the Hongtang team members, who also came back to their senses, took out their last strength, and were stunned to entangle the pirates who retreated one step late, and rigidly prepared each other to leave.

The war on Wu Daofu's side has also ended, although these ten Japanese warships are full of elite Japanese warriors and pirates, but in the hands of the Hongtang team members who were carefully selected by Wu Daofu to drive and control the six Western-style warships, they only lasted for more than half an hour, and they were strangled by the Hongtang team members on the six warships.

Of course, Wu Daofu and they are not without damage, hand-to-hand combat is not as good as long-range artillery fire, although the crew members are elite, but the Japanese warriors and this group of pirate elites are not vegetarians, everyone is really swords, it is a matter of white knives in and red knives out, killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000. Seven or eight hundred Hongtang team members, and after finally strangling the Japanese people who fought with them, less than five hundred team members could finally stand up, and most of them also returned to their posts with wounds, covered in blood and panting.

When Wu Daofu and the others finally pulled out of the entanglement of the Japanese warship, just in time for the retreat of the Japanese people, Wu Daofu shouted out excitedly: "Hurry up, rush up for me, don't let them run!" ”

The battle situation was already one-sided when the main warships of the Japanese people withdrew. Without the Japanese samurai as the main force of attack, and seeing that the Japanese people withdrew from the fierce battle center in advance and drove back, the pirates who were still entangled by the Hongtang team members at this time no longer had the heart to continue fighting, and they all thought of taking their subordinates to kill them.

While fighting without intention, while entangled to death, refusing to let go, compared to the previous exhausting battle, this last moment, the battle between the two sides became fierce again. However, this fierce fight did not last long, just like the patient who returned to the light, at this time, the pirates burst out because they were desperate to escape, but in the end, when they found that they could not do anything, or had successfully escaped, their motivation to continue fighting quickly dissipated without a trace.

In the end, there were less than 50 ships that escaped from Hongtang's entanglement together with the main warships of the Japanese people, and more than ten of the warships that managed to escape with great difficulty no longer had the desire to continue to collude with the Japanese people after seeing that the Japanese people were not supported and the move of using them as a shield just now, and they all took their sons and daughters to the east, which can be regarded as an escape! !
