"The Japanese pirates' attack looks quite chaotic." Lu Fuhai clicked his tongue and shook his head.
The dozen or so war camp-class ships that were the first to catch up couldn't wait to launch their crossbows as soon as they entered the firing range.
If they had been closer, or even moved to the side of General Lee, the result would never have been just smashing some ship sides and sails.
Maybe they could sink General Lee's warships in one fell swoop.
"General, this is not surprising." The guard next to him laughed, "Japanese pirates have been experiencing continuous rainy nights in recent years."
The weather in Baekje last winter was terrifyingly cold.
However, the Japanese pirate army ignored the weather and launched attacks day and night.
Although they later occupied the east coast of Baekje, they suffered heavy losses. Even their naval commander died of illness because he had been braving the wind and snow to direct the battle.
Lu Fuhai nodded.
He also knows this.
Taki Ishikawa, who is currently commanding off the coast of Kinryutan, was originally the deputy general of the navy and was promoted to the post after the death of the commander-in-chief.
Naoto Kudo in front of him had no qualifications to command the navy, so he probably regarded the sea battle in front of him as a land battle.
However, I have to say that he is ruthless enough and is willing to sacrifice the lives of his subordinates.
Although the weapons and equipment of the two sides were not equal, the East China Sea Barrier was a little overwhelmed in the face of the crazy Japanese pirate soldiers, and could only consider retreating first.
Whoosh!
Over the sea, huge crossbows and fireballs came and went.
However, it was not easy to hit the moving ships. Most of the fireballs and heavy crossbows landed around the ships on both sides.
The small boat caught in the middle suddenly became cannon fodder.
Every time an attack is launched, there are fewer boats on the sea.
Soon the whole sea surface was filled with the wreckage of small boats and Japanese pirates who did not know whether to live or die. The sea water was even dyed blood red.
Despite this, all the boats rushed westward regardless.
Ha ha!
"Thank you all Japanese pirate brothers." General Li, who was at the front, laughed and handed over to the Japanese pirates' battle camp.
Amid the commotion, his voice spread far away, "Don't be polite, everyone. Just bring any fireballs, stones, and heavy crossbows! I'll take them all for you."
If these battle camp-level ships hadn't scattered the surrounding boats and rafts, it would have been really troublesome for his ship to move.
The battle camp in the east seemed to have heard it, and was so angry that it sped up and continued to move forward.
The other warships in the East China Sea Barrier have been waiting for this moment.
"Broken crossbow arrow, release!"
Boom.
The huge lock was broken open.
Phew!
The harsh wind sounded.
Dozens of huge crossbow arrows tore through the air and flew to the front of the five Japanese battleships.
Boom boom boom.
Most of the broken crossbow arrows flew past the side of the ship and plunged into the sea, causing water splashes all over the sky.
However, these battle battalions still received a few arrows each.
Giggle.
The groan of the keel sounded.
Generally speaking, the bow is the hardest part of the entire ship.
However, Yun Chui's crossbow arrows were so powerful that they opened several large holes in each of the five ships. The seawater was pouring in.
The other war camp levels were shocked when they saw it.
Although they are still heading west, their speed has slowed down unconsciously.
"Come on, come on." General Li at the front laughed and continued to provoke.
…
Half an hour is not long.
Hoo ho ho!
The flag on the Protector's ship waved.
The entire army retreats!
All the ships in the East China Sea Barrier were unwilling to fight and gradually left the battlefield.
It didn't take long for sails of all sizes to be hoisted.
It was midsummer at this time, and most of the entire Baekje Peninsula and the eastern coast of Unjue were blowing from the southeast, blowing just to the west.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the ships sailing along the East China Sea Barrier were out of the range of the Japanese pirate battle camp.
Silong Island.
Naoto Kudo had half of his face blackened by smoke earlier, and now his face was even darker.
"The enemy is about to run away. Send me an order to have all battalions hoist their sails and catch up immediately."
"General," the guards around him said bitterly, "we can't catch him."
Kudo Naoto was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing when he looked at the sea.
There were countless small Japanese pirate boats sandwiched between the warships of both sides. It was easy for the Yunchui people to leave, but their war camp level had to pass through the obstacles set up by their side in advance if they wanted to pursue them.
By the time they passed through the small boats, the East China Sea Barrier didn't even know where it had gone.
Kudo Naoto was also confused and quickly asked the map: "Where are our generals now? Can we stop them?"
The guards looked at each other.
Except for the crackling sound of burning, no one spoke.
The sea is not land, and there is no way to rush for 800 miles. If you want to convey orders, you have to use light or sound, or send people by boat to deliver the message.
Therefore, none of them knew exactly where the generals were during this meeting.
Snapped.
Amidst the depression, the sky in the northeast suddenly burst into glory.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look, and their hearts skipped a beat.
Cloud-piercing arrow!
"Is our signal located on the east coast?"
"Go back to the general. Calculating the distance, it should be yes. However, only one cloud-penetrating arrow was sent from the camp, so I guess the situation is not too serious."
Baekje East Coast.
Pooh!
Jiang Xuesong wiped away the blood on his face.
The former outposts on the East-West Post Road were voluntarily abandoned by Jin Yongge and subsequently occupied by the Japanese pirates Sanyang. Under Wu Siyuan's instructions, he led his subordinates and the Xingluo Legion to counterattack and recapture it.
Later, Kudo Naoto sent a large number of people to the Yuanning Mountains to cut wood and build ships. He also led his men to harass the nearby areas.
Now he led the team directly towards Kudo Naoto's camp.
Jiang Xuesong looked back at the vast Yuanning Mountain.
The news from the Starfall Legion was correct; the Japanese pirates were indeed focusing their energy on naval battles.
Although there are many Japanese guards in front, they are definitely not as many as expected, and many of them are ordinary people farming.
He led his men all the way to the east, almost destroying everything they went.
only……
"General, the Japanese pirates dug a deep trench on Xiangyangpo ahead." The messenger hurried back, "Brothers, we can't get around it."
Hold!
"Are there ditches again?" Jiang Xuesong was furious, "This stupid Naoto Kudo didn't say that the Japanese pirates were short of food? They dug so many ditches on the road to make hair. Do you want to bury your whole family in them?"
After spraying the enemy general, he calmed down.
Although Kudo Naoto's method of digging ditches and breaking off roads was crude, it was very effective. It made them unable to increase their speed.
well.
Jiang Xuesong let out a long sigh.
"Hurry up and find a way to build a bridge or fill it up. Before the main force of the Japanese pirates come back, we will destroy as many of their crops as possible."
"Yes!" Xiaobing left in a hurry.
"Is there any news about General Wu? Where are our reinforcements?"
He only has more than 3,000 people under his command.
It looked like a lot of people and horses crowded together, but after leaving the narrow post road, it suddenly felt a little stretched.
Now there are not even enough people to set fire to the crops.
cough.
The guard next to him coughed.
"Back to the general, we have sent the message back three times to ask for help. However, General Wu has not responded to the message. Let alone..."
Not to mention reinforcements.
Hold!
Jiang Xuesong shook his head bitterly, "I know that General Wu is probably trapped by those cowardly losers again."
The guard lowered his head silently.
These waste materials all come from the capital.
Although Wu Siyuan had married a princess into the royal family, the civil servants and generals in the court were still full of suspicion of him, and would always send some obstructive people to keep an eye on him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuesong turned around and glanced enviously at the high mountains of Chongshan Mountain to the west.
They are also leading troops to fight outside, so how come the Starfall Legion is so lucky?
All generals can freely attack and kill...
Silong Island.
"General, do we have to rush back to the east coast?"
Kudo Naoto pondered for a while before shaking his head, "No."
"There are many internal conflicts in Baekje. No matter how powerful Wu Siyuan is, it will be difficult for him to use his strength. Just send two battalions back to take a look. We should keep an eye on Yun Chuiren first..."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked west.
The shadow of the East China Sea barrier has long been invisible on the vast sea.
However, the ships brought by Lu Fuhai were not seriously damaged, and they still had a large number of crossbows and firearms in their hands. Who knows whether the Yunchui people's retreat was true or false.
If it is a false retreat and they wait until they collectively retreat to the east coast before attacking, then the three food bases that have been developed with great difficulty will most likely be destroyed.
"Send the order and immediately send out a reconnaissance speedboat to check Yun Chui's movements."
