The battle continued, and the movement of the "Yang Fan-style" warships was detected beyond Lu Yu's expectations, and Shimazu Hisao withdrew half of the small boats from the front line to escort them, and at the same time assigned more than ten warships out of the few remaining warships in the team, preparing to cooperate with other small boats to launch a fierce offensive against the Hongmen 400 warships.

At the same time, the remaining 30 warships led by Shimazu Hisao, as well as more than 40 small boats, rushed straight up to the "Yang Fan-style" fleet led by Lu Yu, and it seemed that they were preparing to fight with Hongmen.

At this time, it was already in the middle of the war, not only did the combat power of the soldiers of the Hongmen fleet begin to decline, but the Japanese fleet was the same, even if it was the Japanese support troops who had just joined the battle, it was so long that the journey even made them more tired than the two sides who fought at the beginning.

The sky is getting darker and darker, from noon to now it is almost three hours of fighting, although it has not yet entered late autumn, but the sun is already approaching the sea level.

From the beginning of the battle to nearly seventy warships, the opponent has only confronted the trump card in his hands with only thirty warships and forty or so small ships, if Lu Lu no longer has the confidence to defeat the other party, it will be in vain Li Tianyang to integrate the strength of the entire Hongmen and build this fleet under his command.

Moreover, Lu Kui's heart is actually very urgent, as the sun sets in the west, if the battle is really dragged out until night, for the Hongmen fleet, the battle is even more difficult, at least they will be abolished for a long time with the rampant artillery: you can't fire indiscriminately in the black light, it's good that the artillery misses, if you accidentally hurt your own warship, it will be a big loss.

The Hongmen fleet also began to suffer losses, and the 400 warships were better than the "Yang Fan" warships to deal with the Japanese fireboats, but this Japanese fishing boat was not afraid of death, and seized the opportunity to withstand the attack of all kinds of weapons on the 400 warships.

Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, especially when the main warships of the Japanese people joined, the days of the Hongmen 400 warships were even more sad.

There is a gap in the number itself, and the warship sent by Shimazu Hisao, as a wise general of the Japanese people, to strangle the 400 warships of Hongmen belongs to the former pirates led by Li Jin and Wang Sanbao.

When facing the "Yang Fan" fleet, Li Jin and Wang Sanbao were deflated again and again, and they couldn't get close to the body of the "Yang Fan" warship, but when facing the Hongmen 400 warship, their true strength was finally brought into play.

Compared to the warships of the Hongmen fleet, there may be a gap between them in terms of hardware, but in terms of boat skills, they are actually at the same level, otherwise they would not be able to survive in the fierce fire of the "Yang Fan-style" warship.

While the three Hongmen 400 warships were taken advantage of by the Japanese warships, and while they were entangled, several deadly Japanese fishing boats were directly close to their hulls, followed by an unexpected explosion and raging flames, which made the Hongmen soldiers tired to deal with.

This was followed by other Japanese warships, and soon the three warships turned into a larger firework and suspended on the surface of the sea, emitting an orange glow for the fading sea.

The Japanese sailors did not pursue the Hongmen soldiers who fled and wandered by sea, but turned around and aimed at the other Hongmen fleets that were still entangled with their own fleet, and made up their minds to fight a quick battle, not caring about the slightest gain or loss.

Of course, the Hongmen fleet was not vegetarian, and the loss of three 400-gauge warships was exchanged for the destruction of two warships and four or five fishing boats of the Satsuma Navy.

When he knew that his own car could not be spared, the first thing that Captain Hongmen on the 400 warship thought of was to take advantage of the fact that his own warship could still move, firmly grasp an opponent, tie it to his own warship, and catch one to burn with the dead ghost.

The Hongmen warriors have strong willpower, but the willpower of pirates and Japanese sailors is also not weak, and the naval battle is connected to the sea on one side and the narrow deck of the warship on the other, and the fighting style of advancing or retreating has long been firmly embedded in the hearts of the sailors.

Therefore, when the Hongmen pulled the people on their backs, the sailors of Satsuma also wanted to sit on the death of the Hongmen soldiers. Scenes abound in hugs and rolls, fighting on the deck where the flames are flying, turning into clusters of moving flames, and then falling into the sea.

As if he had changed his sex, the former pirates led by Li Jin and Wang Sanbao, and the soldiers of the current Satsuma Navy, changed their previous wandering combat style, entangled and fought with the target they were targeting, and did not care about their own casualties at all.

They received a sternly worded order from Shimazu Hisao: they must strangle the weak brigade of the Hongmen fleet on the battlefield as quickly as possible at any cost, and then immediately support the naval battle of the headquarters Shimazu Hisao.

Without other auxiliary props, you can see from a distance that the fleet led by Shimazu Hisao behind you is entangled with the main force of the Hongmen "Yang Fan" battleship with a Satsuma Bun, and from time to time a sea ship disappears into the sea, or loses its mobility.

At this time, only half of the warships in Shimazu Hisao's hands were only half, even if they were assisted by suicide ships that were more lethal to the "Yang Fan" warships, they were even more ferocious to the Hongmen fleet.

As the main general, they are still fighting desperately with the front line by example, not to mention Li Jin and their lieutenants, under the cold of their lips and teeth, they can only lose their henchmen and spare all their strength to tear apart the enemy in front of them.

The sun was sinking in the west, and the night began to cover the sea, but the light problem that Lu Yu was worried about did not bother the soldiers on both sides of the fight. The sea was full of orange light from the burning of the Samoto suicide ships, and the cold silver-white moonlight in the sky was enough to prevent the warring sides from accidentally injuring their own side.

The sound of cannons rumbled, and the fighting life resounded in all directions, and no other active creature dared to approach this sea area from the sea level except for the two sides of the fighting.

In the dim sea, all kinds of carnivorous sea fish bite the dead corpses in the sea water, and the sound of the sea water fluttering comes and goes, and there are still soldiers falling into the water from time to time in the entanglement battle between Hongmen and Satsuma Bo, which provokes the bite and fight of the fierce swimming fish under the water surface.

As the war continued, the number of warships gradually decreased, and there are almost no warships that can still remain intact today, and even the absolute main force of the Hongmen fleet, the "Yang Fan" warship, has finally been damaged, and a "Yang Fan" warship that was targeted by the Samoto suicide ship and got close to it was unbearable to the blasting and close burning of several successive sea ships, and finally the entire warship turned into one of the many extravagant torches on the sea.
