Shibao Yu stood on the bow of the ship, staring closely at the Jade Dragon Fleet blocking them in front.
"General, what should we do?"
The guards stared nervously at their general's lips, ready to turn or slow down at any time.
"Lu Yulong is blocking the way. What do you think Shibao will do with Fu?"
In the fleet coming from Xilong Island, other generals and generals also walked to the bow of the ship, their eyes flickering as they looked at the large and small black and shiny collision angles of the Jade Dragon Fleet ahead.
hehe.
"I don't know." The guards nearby could only smile awkwardly.
In Yamato itself, Shibao is not a popular surname.
Even if they use all the abilities of their entire clan, they still can't put together a war general class for their outstanding descendants to command by themselves, let alone an entire fleet.
It can be said that Shibao Yutaka relied entirely on his own ability. He started from commanding a team-level boat and gradually became the current general of the war general level, and finally became the pride of the Shibao clan.
But in the eyes of other generals at the same level, Yu Shibao had no military exploits at all and was just a so-called "lucky general".
The world is vast and chaotic, and it is not easy for anyone to survive.
From the mainland to Baekje, the remote waterway, harsh climate, shortage of food, and the desperate resistance of the Baekje people during the landing could all kill a large number of soldiers.
Even the newly appointed naval commander died because of this, let alone other ordinary generals.
Shibao Yutaka's body was relatively strong, and he was blessed to be promoted quietly.
But he knew that he was not a lucky general, he was just low-key.
As long as you don't show off your appearance and try not to show off in front of Naoto Kudo, you can live longer.
Those who fought bravely for fear that Kudo Naoto would not know their abilities, such as Shinya Iwagami who attacked the Kuhara Racecourse, Sanyo who attacked the post road in the Genning Mountains, Panasonic and Shotaro Okudera, have now closed their eyes forever.
but now……
Shibao Yu felt uneasy.
Kudo Naoto's flags were sent directly to his ship by name. He couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to.
but,
The enemy in front only has one Yulong-class warship, and the rest are all war camp-class ships. On the other hand, there are five war general-class ships on our side, and the number of war camp-class ships is more than double that of the enemy.
"Order," Shibao Yuki looked cautiously at the other generals in the rear, "Shibao and the attached battle battalions maintain the offensive formation, speed up all, kill them, and join General Kudo!"
Each of Yamato's Admiral-class ships is a treasure.
Yu Shibao is just an ordinary member and cannot order other generals to cooperate with him. Now he only hopes that other generals can take the initiative to pursue him during the attack and put pressure on the Yulong Fleet together.
It would be best to surrender the troops without a fight and force Lu Yulong to take the initiative to give way to the channel.
Jade Dragon.
"General," the soldier on the observation mast shouted and waved, "Chaiwei has obviously increased its speed, and gradually distanced itself from the other generals on Xilong Island."
Ha ha.
Lu Yulong laughed, "Does Shibao want to fight one another?"
Since he dared to take the initiative to drive the Yulong to stop him in front, he was not afraid of all the enemies coming from Xilong Island, let alone just a Chaiwei?
"General, my subordinates, it seems that it's not that Shibao wants to fight alone, but that the other ships are unwilling to come up with it to die."
Lu Yulong nodded, "Brothers, cheer up! Let Chaiwei taste the power of our collision and turn it into a bundle of rotten fagots on the bottom of the sea."
"yes!"
The order was quickly transmitted to all ships, and loud responses sounded from everywhere.
Chai Weihao.
Shibao Yuu looked steadily towards the rear, watching the other generals falling further and further away, and his face turned livid with anger.
"General, the Yulong ships in front have already increased their speed and are clearly trying to stop us. What should we do now?"
what to do?
Shibao Yu looked around.
Although the sea is huge, in his eyes, there is no way to go.
You can't go to the west or south.
There is a menacing Jade Dragon Fleet in the east, trying to challenge him to a duel.
The north side is quite empty.
But as long as he dares to adjust the direction and let the fleet go north, not only will his fragile side be exposed to Lu Yulong's heavy crossbow. Even if he is lucky enough to get around it, Kudo Naoto will probably let him attack Jinlongtan alone.
Taste the power of Xiao Zheng's anti-sea-breaking crossbow.
Fight!
Shibao Yuu slapped the side of the boat hard.
"Send the order, everyone prepares!"
"So what about the East China Sea Barrier? Let me kill them. Don't let those bastards behind us underestimate us Shibao!"
"yes!"
Both sides began to exert force, and the ship's speed became faster and faster.
Wow.
The war camp class escorting the main ship rushed forward one after another, aiming either at the enemy's opponents of the same class or at the oars on both sides of the war general class.
Quack, quack, quack.
The crossbows and trebuchets on the bow of the ship were ready in the morning and aimed at the opponent's mainmast.
cough.
One of the guards couldn't help but remind him, "General, Yun Chui's weapons have a farther range than ours."
With its excellent range, the Jade Dragon Fleet can launch an attack first.
If both the main and auxiliary masts are destroyed, the speed of the ship will definitely slow down if only the sailors paddle.
The slower the ship, the higher the chance of being hit, and the smaller the threat of a corner collision. At that time, not to mention the Jade Dragon, even other ordinary war camp-level ships would dare to pass by and bully it.
"Open the net!"
The soldiers were pulling up the fishing nets noisily.
The deputy general came over in a hurry to persuade him, "General, it's not appropriate to open the net at this time."
Fishing nets have advantages and disadvantages.
It basically can't stop crossbows, but it's good at blocking fireballs and rocks.
The problem is that if a net is pulled up on the bow of the ship, the trebuchet will be basically useless.
"Cancel, cancel." Shibao Yuu was sweating profusely and quickly ordered to cancel.
Looking at the Jade Dragon Fleet getting closer and closer, he suddenly felt a little regretful.
Hiding behind and trying not to come forward to fight, he quietly rose up and became a general.
But now when he really had to face a wolf-like enemy, Yu Shibao hated himself for not going to the battlefield more often, and now he was so confused that his palms were all sweaty.
The fishing nets have just been removed.
Whoosh!
The sea breeze blew by.
Shibao Yu jumped up as if he had been stung by a scorpion, his face even more ashen.
"What kind of wind is this?"
The guards looked at each other.
Autumn has just begun at this time, what kind of wind can still blow near the Baekje Peninsula?
Either east wind or southeast wind.
Sure enough, in an instant, the sails of the Jade Dragon Fleet swelled loudly, and the speed of each ship increased greatly.
Ha ha.
Lu Yulong's laughter echoed across half the sea, "Everything is ready, all I need is the east wind. God is really helping me!"
Not long after, the five battle camp-class frigates at the front finally entered the firing range.
"Prepare, release!"
Amidst countless roars, the ready-to-fire crossbow bolts and the tip locks of the trebuchets were suddenly smashed open, and large and small crossbow arrows, fireballs and stones roared and flew towards the enemy in front of them.
Boom boom boom.
There was a loud noise and fire exploded.
Because the distance and speed are calculated early, the first attack is often the most successful.
The cannon fodder in front of Shibao's fleet was shaken up and his momentum was stagnated.
But there were only a dozen crossbow arrows and stones, not even mentioned together in front of the huge hull.
The two sides are still approaching quickly.
The Japanese pirates' weapons were weaker than Yunchui's, but not much weaker. In addition, the two sides were moving in the same direction, and soon the Yulong fleet also entered Shibao's range.
Amidst a burst of strange shouts, firepower from the opposite side also flew over.
Lu Yulong didn't even blink, but stared straight ahead.
"General, be careful of the impact."
Seeing that Lu Yulong was completely unmoved, the personal guards had no choice but to grit their teeth and tie the fixed rope tightly to his body.
