There are bullets and bullets above, and rough waves below.
The sea conditions at this time were extremely bad.
Boom boom boom.
Countless large and small fireballs and falling rocks hit the surrounding area like rain, causing water splashes all over the sky.
Such a blow is just an itch for a warship hung with a fishing net, and only some unlucky people will be hit by it.
However, it is different for people in the water.
The prisoners like Wei Dashan had no way to hide and could not escape.
They can only resign themselves to fate or drift with the tide like rootless drifting ducks.
Although everyone was already exhausted, they could only continue to struggle desperately in order to survive.
"Everyone, don't give up, grit your teeth and live on! Our parents, wives and children are waiting for us at home."
Wei Dashan's voice had long been hoarse, but his voice kept echoing on the water.
"Swipe quickly!"
"Someone said Yun Chuiyu in front, he is definitely our brother. Go and save him."
On the dark sea, countless small boats and rubber boats were mixed in among the huge battle camps, paddling northward.
Boom boom boom.
Stones are falling like rain.
There are only a few Warlord-class ships, and each one is a giant that no one dares to stop.
Therefore, the battle camp level was the main attack target of the Japanese pirates, and every ship seemed to be raining fire.
From time to time, rescue boats or rubber boats were hit by fireballs and rocks or overturned by waves, but no one paid attention or hesitated, and continued to paddle hard toward the place where the sound came from with the sails hung.
After finally getting close to the prisoners, the soldiers of the East China Sea Barrier raised their heads and shouted: "Is there anyone alive? Please speak out."
Wow.
As long as there is a sound, they will either jump down or cast a big net to catch people quickly.
"Can you speak Yunchui language?"
"Yes! I'm from..."
"Very good, as long as you can speak Yunchui language. You are safe now. Eat something first and have a good rest."
The soldiers didn't care which county the people they picked up came from. As long as they could speak Yunchui language, they would arrange for them to rest in the back cabin.
If the person they fished out didn't understand their questions, or if he answered with an obvious Japanese accent, the soldiers would stab him with a knife without hesitation to give him a shock.

Behind, the Haomiao.
"General," the smiling messenger hurried over, "the latest news from the front line."
"The Yongjing and its affiliated fleet have successfully sunk or damaged Japanese frontline warships such as the Panmai. Our warships were not seriously injured and the formation remained intact. They continued to attack northward under the leadership of General Yu. The enemy's flagship sank.
There were heavy casualties and the formation was in chaos."
"Okay, okay!" Yang Miao was not too surprised and laughed with satisfaction.
He patted the side of the boat in front of him and said, "Give Yu Haojiang and others the order to continue. Others will follow behind to support at any time."
"yes!"
The messenger was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the military advisor.
"Wait a minute and ask about the rescue situation of the prisoners."
"clear."
Not long after, news from the front came again.
"General, brothers are still searching on the sea. According to incomplete statistics, 306 brothers from Beiguan have been rescued so far."
Yang Miao was silent for a while, and then asked after a long while: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work. I would like to greet them on my behalf. At the same time, try to save the lives of those brothers who came out of Beiguan."
"Understood." Xiaobing nodded heavily to confirm.
Yang Miao nodded, turned around, looked at the hourglass next to him, and waved him away.
"General," the military advisor frowned and came to comfort him, "Although the number of people is a bit small, the sea conditions are changing rapidly, so it is actually normal."
"And after so long, even General Yu has led his ships to break through the enemy's front line and enter the middle of the Japanese pirates. I guess..."
It is estimated that there are not many prisoners of Beihai Customs who were not rescued from the water and are still alive.
Yang Miao stood still, as silent as a statue.
He has lived on the water for most of his life, so he naturally knows how terrifying the sea is.
"Let each rescue ship search for another quarter of an hour. Once the time is up, no matter what the result is, withdraw immediately."
The Japanese pirates had already crashed even the "Pangmai" warrior class. At this time, almost all of the people struggling in the sea were enemy soldiers. There was no need to let his brothers go searching and rescuing people in a small boat that might sink at any time.
The gain outweighs the loss.
A quarter of an hour is not long.
Soon the small boats and rubber boats stopped searching and cautiously moved back.
Xingzhou battle camp level.
Wei Dashan collapsed on the deck like a dead fish.
He silently looked at the starry sky above his head, which was reflected by the fireball, and suddenly burst into laughter.
Damn the Japanese pirates, damn the sea, I finally survived.
Cough cough cough.
The laughter was so intense that he lost his breath and coughed uncontrollably.
The soldiers on the Sin Chew came and went and were not surprised by this.
Someone came over and asked for a few words, and gave him some clean clothes and hot millet porridge.
"Just come back. Eat and have a good rest. We'll talk about everything when you wake up."
Wei Dashan nodded. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but say, "Excuse me, how many brothers from Beiguan have been rescued?"
"This..." the man hesitated for a while, "I haven't fully calculated the exact number yet, but it should be less than four hundred."
Wei Dashan already knew this, but he still couldn't help but his face darkened.
When they left Beihaiguan, they were densely packed, but after a while, there were only less than four hundred left.
"When it comes to fighting, there will be immortals. And because of your courage, the Japanese frontline fleet was thrown into disarray. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen warships were lost."
This is a huge achievement, enough to comfort those brothers who died in the water.

To the north, Haneda.
Haneda Youxiang glanced at the battle report he had just received, his face turned frighteningly dark.
However, this was nothing. Not long after, another ordering soldier came in a hurry and was sweating profusely.
"General, the entire front line has collapsed. Yuhaojiang has entered the center of our fleet in large numbers. Generals are calling for help urgently."
boom.
This time Haneda Youxiang didn't even bother to read the information.
He was so angry that he punched the side of the boat in front of him.
"That doesn't make sense. What are you doing to eat out front?"
Yuhaojiang only had a small number of boats. Even if they were two against one, they would still be squeezing each other's speed.
Without speed, the collision angle of the East China Sea Barrier loses its effect.
The two sides can only compete with heavy crossbows and trebuchets, or send people to risk boarding ships to kill the enemy.
And it takes a lot of time to completely kill a ship.
Haneda Yangxiang looked up at the sky and soon became disbelieving.
This battle has only lasted less than half an hour, why can't the front be strong?
The East China Sea barrier is stronger. Could it be that the strength between the two sides has become so great unknowingly?
"Send another fleet up and be sure to block the Yuhao River for me!"
"I am ordering all the captains of the general class to jump into the sea to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor if they still can't stand it."
"Yes!" The messenger ran away in a hurry.
"General," the military advisor came over.
He had just finished reading the battle report in his hand, and his face was solemn.
"The soldiers on the front line actually fought very well. Each warship covered each other and advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. However, no one expected that the prisoners rowing would suddenly cause trouble, causing the ten or so warships at the front to sink in an instant, and they were directly engaged.
The subsequent warships were caught off guard..."
The result is what it is now.
well.
"No wonder the people of Yunchui often say that those who are not from our clan must have a different mindset."
"It's just that the matter has come to this, what's the use of talking about it now?"
Haneda Yangxiang's heart felt gloomy, and he turned his head to look to the southeast.
