Zhao Xuhai pointed to the sea and said: "Young Master Hua, look, now that the formation of the 'Black Dragon Palace' has been completely dispersed, and the flaws have been exposed, Gongzi Cao and Lord Shen will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, and when the hundreds of ships of the Wuzhai Naval Division in my Guangdong realm also attack the big array, it will be time for these pirates to be completely defeated!"

Hua Bushi nodded and said, "I see." It seems that Peng Sanye is indeed not simple, and we are already looking for victory in this battle. ”

Zhao Xuhai said: "It's not simple, Peng Sanye is really a god! With more than 20 warships attacking the 'Thousand Scales Great Array' and not a single ship is damaged, Zhao has never met someone with such naval combat skills in his life, and Zhao Xuhai lost today's gamble, and he has nothing to say at all!"

At this time, Mr. Zhao Qian's admiration for Peng San was like a river of endless water, and he seemed to have forgotten that he had a red face with that hillbilly not long ago, and he almost drew his sword.

Zhao Xuhai was not wrong as expected, the imperial court's sailor fleet soon discovered that the pirate's ship formation was out of order, and immediately turned the bow of the ship, no longer using the "scaling method" to circle around the periphery, but directly attacked the center of the "Thousand Scales Water Array".

At this time, the pirate ships in the "Thousand Scales Water Array" fled in all directions, and the original staggered formation had long since ceased to exist, and the sparse few artillery shots could not stop the other party's approach, and it didn't take long for half of the more than 200 warships of the Guangdong Realm Naval Division to rush into the water village of the "Black Dragon Palace".

The imperial navy division was well-equipped, and it was not as lacking ammunition as the ships of Okura Castle, and dozens of guns were equipped on the large fortune ships and building ships, and the roar started again for a while, and the fire tongues on the two strings of each ship spat wildly, and the chaotic "Black Dragon Palace" pirate ships were quite dense with each other, and it was difficult to react, and in a moment, three more loach ships were sunk.

Zhao Xuhai was elated and said, "Young Master Hua, look, the warships of our Guangdong Realm Navy Division have rushed up, and this rabble of pirates will definitely be difficult to defeat, and we have already won this battle!"

Hua Bushi did not answer, staring at the naval battle ahead, but a contemplative look appeared on his face.

Bai Yiling, who was standing next to him, noticed the expression of the eldest young master and said, "Master Gongzi, we are about to win, aren't you happy?"

Hua Bushi said: "I just think it's a little strange, our side is obviously already dominant, and the formation is about to be broken, but why are the five giant shark ships in the opponent's formation still not moving?"

So far, twenty pirate ships have been sunk or captured, and six or seven are on fire, and more than half of the "Thousand Scales Water Array" has been destroyed, but the five giant shark ships have been moored motionless in the center of the large array from beginning to end, and have not made any reaction to the battle situation. Those five giant ships are the strongest combat power in the opponent's formation, and if they fail to take them, the pirates of the "Black Dragon Palace" cannot be regarded as defeated.

Zhao Xuhai watched for a while and said, "Young Master Hua said this, it's indeed a bit strange. However, I think they were probably squeezed in the middle by the other pirate ships, so they couldn't move, and when our ships attacked, they would have to flee. ”

However, this time, Zhao Xuhai's prediction was not accurate, and before the ships of the Yuejing Naval Division could attack them, the five giant shark ships had already made moves at the same time. As far away as possible, Hua Bushi and the others could still see the blue-black sails rising on the giant shark ship in an instant, and the five giant ships began to move in five different directions.

Not only the five giant shark warships, but all the "Black Dragon Palace" ships in the "Thousand Scales Great Array" seemed to have received orders, and at the same time began to spread out in all directions at full speed.

There were also many pirate ships in the previous big array that fled in all directions, but this time's actions were completely different from the chaotic state of the previous crowding and colliding with each other, all the pirate ships' actions were extremely orderly, hundreds of ships quickly dispersed, and none of them collided with other ships, obviously it was only after careful scheduling.

Except for a few pirate ships that were seriously damaged and difficult to move, or were fighting close to the ships of Okura Castle, the other ships of the "Black Dragon Palace" had all been scattered on the sea surface more than ten miles in a single cup of time, and the original water village and the "Thousand Scales Great Array" also disintegrated and ceased to exist.

Zhao Xuhai's eyes widened again and opened his mouth wide. If it was said that Peng San had previously mobilized the twenty ships of Okura City with the flag language and divided them into seven teams, which made this President Zhao Qian stunned and ashamed, at this time, the hundreds of ships of the "Black Dragon Palace" were rapidly scattered on the sea, and their command and dispatch ability was definitely not under Peng San!

The movements of the pirate ships on the sea did not stop, and the ships were full of sails and moving at full speed, gradually converging in five directions, forming five phalanxes, each led by a giant shark ship, and composed of thirty pirate ships.

These five phalanxes were arranged on the surface of the ocean, forming a five-cornered trend, surrounding the ships of Okura Castle and the hundreds of ships that had rushed into the "Thousand Scales Great Array". The "Golden Jade" was already several miles behind the ships in front, but it fell outside the encirclement of the five phalanxes.

At this time, not only Zhao Xuhai and Hua Bushi, but even Sima Rulan, who was not familiar with water warfare, also saw that the situation was wrong.

She asked out loud: "Mr. Zhao Qian, those pirate ships are now divided into five teams, but I don't know what formation they are?"

Zhao Xuhai said: "Well, it seems to be a five-element array or something, and the last general can't understand it." ”

Peng San on the high platform waved a lantern, but he gave the order to retreat, and the ships of Okura Castle, which were originally fighting with the pirate ship, had already thrown down the enemy ship that was about to be captured, and turned around and sailed back.

And Peng Sanyi jumped out of the high platform, performed light skills, and a harrier turned over, which had swept out several zhang and landed in front of Sima Rulan and others. He was still holding the lantern in both hands, there was a lot of sweat on his forehead, but there was an anxious look on his face, and he said: "Miss City Lord, the other party has discharged the 'Five Dragons Great Array', it seems that we will be unable to win today's battle, quickly send a letter to the Yuejing Naval Division to deliver the news, tell them to return quickly, and maybe save some ships!"

Sima Rulan said: "The pirate's formation is so powerful, even Mr. Peng San can't break it?"

Peng San said: "Although the Five Dragons Great Array is powerful, it is not impossible for me to break it, but today we do not have the conditions to break the formation." The eldest lady should hurry up and send the signal, otherwise those sailors and ships will suffer even greater losses!"

Sima Rulan said: "Okay." Someone is coming, go and send a fireworks signal to inform the Yuejing sailors to retreat quickly. ”

Tonight, Cao Duyun and Okura Castle met inside and outside to attack the water village of the "Black Dragon Palace", and the two sides had already agreed on fireworks signals, so that they could send simple messages to each other. A disciple of the "Wanjin Hall" received the order, reached out and took out the fireworks from his arms, and was about to pull and set them off, but suddenly a hand stretched out next to him and grabbed the fireworks pipe.

It was Hua Bushi who blocked the sending of fireworks signals.

The eldest young master had a solemn face and said: "If I guessed correctly, when the 'Thousand Scales Water Array' of the 'Black Dragon Palace' was broken by Peng Sanye, the five giant shark ships have not moved, it is a lure to lure the ships of the Guangdong Realm Naval Division into the formation, and now that the other party's plan has succeeded, even if the Guangdong Realm Naval Division immediately turns around and retreats, I am afraid it will be too late!"

Peng San hurriedly said: "Although we can't retreat immediately, we can at least keep about half of the ships, if we miss the opportunity, when the 'Five Dragons Great Array' is completed and launched, the retreat will be cut off in an instant, and hundreds of ships will be wiped out in the big array!

Hua Bushi's palm was still tightly grasping the fireworks, and said: "Even if we can barely keep half of the ships of the Guangdong Realm Naval Division, we will lose tonight's battle, right?

Tonight's sea battle is a battle related to the life and death of Okura Castle, and if half of the ships are lost in the five major water villages in Guangdong, then this battle will definitely be lost. And once defeated, the remnants of the Daming Water Division may be able to flee back to the Middle-earth Continent, but Okura City will definitely be occupied, and more than 100,000 people in the city will not be able to escape, and all of them will fall into the hands of the pirates of the "Black Dragon Palace", and their lives will not be guaranteed.

In fact, in addition to the sailors of the Ming Dynasty in Guangdong, Okura City had no other reinforcements to count on, and now that the city is running out of ammunition and food, even if it moves troops again, it will be too late. Hua Bushi said that there is no advance or retreat, which is this truth.

At this time, Sima Rulan had also understood the meaning of Hua Bushi's words, and her face changed greatly at the moment, and she said: "Mr. Peng San, is the situation really like this? Then we must not retreat, we must fight to the death with the pirates of the 'Black Dragon Palace'!"

Peng San sighed and said: "It's not that Peng San said that he was frustrated, the 'Five Dragons Great Array' is a forbidden array, ten times more powerful than the 'Thousand Scales Water Array' just now, and now it seems that the other party is presiding over the battle array, and he is also a top master who is proficient in naval warfare, and his ability is probably no worse than my Peng San, if it weren't for the Black Dragon King coming personally, it would definitely be the top two people in the 'Nine Dragons', even if we fight to the death, we have no chance of winning!"

Sima Rulan said: "But this battle must not be defeated! No matter what, we must fight hard!"

Zhao Xuhai said: "Miss Sima, as the saying goes, 'stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood', even if we lose today, at least we can save our lives, and there will be a day of revenge in the future, so why do we have to fight to the death now?

Sima Rulan clenched her fists, almost crushing her teeth.

Of course she understands the truth of forbearance for a while, but Okura City is not only the foundation left by her father Sima Zhufeng, but there are more than 100,000 people in the city, which Sima Rulan will never give up, even if she fights for her life, she can't ignore the lives of these people.

At this point, she and Hua Bushi can be regarded as like-minded, and at this time, Sima Rulan couldn't help but turn her attention to the eldest young master for help.
