"My lord ... Lord, look at the ships of our family are starting to escape, quickly order a retreat, if it is late, the navy of this family will be wiped out. "Nine Ghost Jialong's retainer ship Yue Masayuki has been observing the movement ahead, and seeing that many of the family's ships have begun to turn around and have a tendency to flee to both sides, he couldn't help but hurriedly say.

"A bunch of waste, flee at this moment, the enemy ship is fast, how much can it run!" The Nine Demons had just wanted the ship's sailors to hide on the other side of the cabin, so that as long as they could get close to the enemy's ships, then the baking could still work, especially since he had already discovered that the enemy's iron cannons were only concentrated on the outer ships, and if they were only close to each other, they would set these ships on fire first, then the enemy would inevitably be in chaos, and without the iron cannon as a weapon, victory would definitely belong to the Kumano naval army.

But before he gave the order, the army under his command had already shown a tendency to rout and flee, which made him unable to control the situation, after all, water warfare is different from land warfare, in addition to shouting orders, it is commanded by the flag, and the flag can only issue simple instructions, so basically the tactics are drawn up before the station, and once the war starts, it will be implemented according to such tactics.

But obviously, the Kumano naval army would not have thought that the enemy would have so many iron cannons, which completely destroyed their confidence, although the iron cannon weapon is no longer a rarity today, but when it is really faced with thousands of iron cannons, those naval troops are still shocked by this powerful weapon, at this moment they have no intention of fighting at all, so fleeing has obviously become the best choice.

Seeing that more and more of his own ships began to flee, Nine Ghost Jialong finally had no choice but to give the order to retreat.

It's just that they retreated, it was not so easy, the Ming ships were faster than Anzhai and Guanshu, obviously Li Dan did not give up the idea of destroying them, when the Kumano naval army just began to retreat, he immediately ordered to start the pursuit.

The Li family's naval army is not just as simple as having thousands of iron cannons, as he begs for a living in the home sea all the year round, how can he not have this kind of weapon, and not only that, rockets, which can play a great role in water warfare since ancient times, have not been replaced because of the appearance of iron cannons, so with the speed of the ship faster than the other party, when the pursuit is launched, what baking, the rockets have greeted the Kumano naval ships that are fleeing.

Although the Kumano Navy did not just care about escaping when the enemy's ships approached, they also threw the baking in their hands, but the problem was that at this time they no longer had any formation to speak of, and it was often the enemy's two or three ships against them, although they also ignited some of the ships of the Li Family's Navy, but their losses were much greater than the enemy's, not only the ship lost a lot, but the casualties were huge, and those who jumped into the sea had some chance to escape. However, the sailors with iron cannons on the enemy ship completely wiped out their chance of escape, and while pursuing the Kumano naval army, the more than 20 ships with iron cannons did not follow the pursuit together, but where there were many enemies who fell into the water, they went there, and without hesitation, they did not hesitate to completely destroy the enemies who were struggling in the water.

。。。

And with the rout of the Kumano Naval Army, except for the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka and others, who retreated normally to the Toba Water Village, the other ships fled in all directions, so another water village under the rule of the Kumano Water Army was directly broken by the Runaway Water Army.

This battle from the confrontation between the two naval armies to the end, but in less than an hour, but the Kumano naval army suffered extremely heavy losses, the original 61 ships escaped back 30, and the 400 ships were only less than 200 number, which made the strength of the Kumano naval army instantly fell by fifty.

And not only that, in addition to the Toba Fortress, another water village has also been seized by the Li family's water army, fortunately, after Li Dan captured the water village, he did not attack the enemy again, which also gave the Kumano water army a chance to breathe.

And the reason why Li Dan did not continue to attack the bird feather is because he knows that attacking the water village is not as easy as fighting on the sea, once he goes ashore, then the army under his command will inevitably lose, Li Dan is just taking money to do things, so how can he let himself have too big losses, this time nearly twenty ships were burned by the enemy, it is enough to make him feel distressed, if the loss is greater, it is only 30,000 yuan, but it is not enough.

And he has also heard of the strength of the Takayama family, the strength of the naval army is not very good, but on land, it is not something he can compete with, so he has no intention of starting a land war with the other party, and he is not ready to stay longer with these two small guns, but has already sent someone to Awaji Island to inform the general manager of the island, so that he can come to help in the war, and he will temporarily block this place first, and the land battle will be completed by them.

"Bastard! A bunch of waste, put to death all the cowards who escaped first! As soon as he returned to the water village, the Nine Ghosts Jialong couldn't help but be furious, such a failure, since the establishment of the Kumano Water Army, has never been there, if he was defeated by the enemy head-on, he would admit it, but the reason for the failure was because his subordinates were shocked by the enemy, which made him really feel a little ashamed.

"My lord ... Lord, the family is obviously panicked, if these people are executed, I am afraid it will cause a large-scale escape, so please think twice. This time, the important minister of the Nine Ghost Family, Saji Takamasa, who stayed behind in Toba, hurriedly persuaded him.

It's not that he doesn't want the lord to condemn those people, but he can't do it now, the family is already panicking at the moment, if at this time, if the blame is lowered, the Kumano Navy may fall apart, after all, there are more than 20 ships that took the lead in escaping this time, not counting the bow, there are hundreds of people in the navy alone, after the defeat of this battle, the total number of the current navy is only 3,000, if these hundreds of people are killed, then simply disband.

"Think twice ... Think... Now think twice, those sailors can be spared, the bow of the ship must be executed, if this time is not disposed of, then the rout will not become the norm in the future, you don't have to persuade again, I will see their heads in a while! "The Nine Ghosts Jialong didn't do this because he felt angry, but he wanted to establish his authority by killing people, and the water army of his family had not fought for a long time since he persuaded the water army to surrender. He knew that because the Ataka Navy was in Awaji, the enemy couldn't fight at all, so the fighting spirit under his command had already retreated, and if the Kumano Navy still wanted to make a difference, then they had to understand that the Takayama family had not yet taken over the world, and it was still early to enjoy it.
