The ships on fire caused great trouble for the Japanese fleet, because their formation was too dense at the moment. And the fireboat, which had lost its ability to control, could only move randomly in the ranks with the wind and waves, stirring up the formation that had just been somewhat orderly. In this way, the Japanese fleet will have no spare strength to organize its counterattack.

Although the sporadic counterattacks of the Japanese fleet also caused damage to Liu Pei and Wu Yizhou, the unorganized counterattack was doomed to failure. And Liu Pei and they can't care about anything else at this time, they must be rescued by the surrounded battleship in a short time, otherwise if the time drags on, it will be hopeless!

At this moment, the central battlefield of the Japanese fleet has entered a white heat. The ships of the Japanese Kingdom that had just been repulsed swarmed up again after resting for a while! After suffering heavy losses, they approached the four encircled battleships. Fortunately, the wreckage of their ship had just played a role in the hindrance.

At this time, the ships that were surrounded were already scarred! Not to mention that the sails have turned into strips of rags, even the strings of the ship have some large and small wounds! Fortunately, the caliber of the artillery of the Japanese people is relatively small, and the breaches that are beaten out are not big! At the same time, Liu Pei's warships all used watertight compartments. And with the efforts of the sailors to repair, the survivability was maintained.

All sailors were now on the gun deck to help shoot, and all Japanese ships within their range were targeted. The sailors are already fighting with the belief that "killing one is enough, killing two earns one"! There were even brave soldiers who set the flowering bombs on fire and threw them off the strings of the ships to blow up the approaching ships!

But there are too many ships around! Each ship was surrounded by three or four boats. Thanks to the efforts of the sailors, the actual time of their death was greatly delayed! But it's only a delay.

When more Japanese ships gathered, their birds also became dense. The soldiers on the deck were slowly suppressed after firing at each other! So the sailors retracted into the hatches of the ship, where they organized their defenses, and blocked the deck with firebolts to prevent the Japanese from boarding the ship.

On the periphery of the Japanese fleet, the two fleets of Liu Pei and Wu Yizhou have burst out to the greatest combat effectiveness! Even they were within 70 meters of the Japanese ships

Shoot like crazy! At this distance, each cannon would bring huge damage to the ships of the Japanese Kingdom and the death of many sailors!

At this moment, these fifty or so ships are like erupting volcanoes, pouring their shells on the enemy as fast as they can! Heavy artillery will make holes in the waterline of enemy ships, allowing sea water to pour in. Chain bullets and shotguns will sweep away all living people on the opposing deck! And the flowering bullet often only needs two rounds of shooting, or even as long as one round of shooting, a ship of the Japanese state is declared incapacitated!

In a very short period of time, they fired countless shells at their opponents, even boiling the guns on one side, forcing them to spend time turning over the bow of the ship and pounce on their opponents with the guns on the other side.

Under this frantic attack, the Japanese fleet was finally shaken! Their rush to the top finally gave them a taste of the bitter fruits. In the midst of the chaos, the already difficult situation of command and liaison became even more serious! Now Masaji Miura is completely unable to control the fleet, so he can only let them fight on their own!

In the previous encounters between the Japanese fleet and Liu Pei's fleet, they had already lost dozens of ships. Those ships were either burned or sunk, and some ships that had lost their ability to sail were drifting with the tide, and only a small number of damaged ships escaped back to the port of Yokohama.

And they are always in the position of being attacked, so the morale has dropped very low. The Japanese soldiers were not fools, and they knew the difference between their combat effectiveness and that of the enemy. They knew that their side had no chance of victory, and at most they could block the opponent's fleet and drag on the war, but in the end they were still defeated.

At that time, an army was qualified if it could die 10% without breaking up. If you can not break up when you are 30% damaged, it is a real iron army! And the Japanese are far from being able to do this.

The most terrifying point is that the sailors commanded by Miura Masaki are from many daimyos. This in itself is the reason for some miscommand. In addition, the daimyo did not want to lose too much of their strength, so they naturally ordered the samurai who led the team to retain their strength as much as possible. Most of the warships in the fleet of the Japanese state were not able to work. If only let them fight with the wind

It's still okay, but they really can't fight tough battles!

Until now, the ones who really contributed in the battle, and those who suffered heavy casualties, were all sailors directly under the Tokugawa family. There were many casualties among them, and naturally their control over the entire fleet dropped to a terrible level! Coupled with the continuous blows and the continuous decline in morale, Miura Shoji has been able to maintain the sailor from breaking up until now, and it has been done with the help of the majesty of the Tokugawa family.

Even if Masaji Miura came up with a chaotic versus orderly play, it was just the final blow to summon Yu Yong. If it weren't for the fact that they surrounded the four warships and gave the Japanese soldiers a glimmer of hope for revenge, I am afraid that Liu Pei and Wu Yizhou would take turns to attack the Japanese front twice, and they would have completely collapsed.

But when the Japanese soldiers found out that even if they surrounded four warships, they would have to pay a great price to capture, and what little courage they had left was gone! Immediately afterwards, when Liu Pei and Wu Yizhou fought on the periphery of the fleet with a very violent attitude, the last trace of luck in the hearts of the Japanese soldiers also disappeared!

After all, the losses of the Japanese fleet have reached more than a hundred ships, which is more than thirty percent! It was thanks to the majesty of the Tokugawa shogunate and the favorable conditions for fighting on the ground that it has persisted until now! When they can't see hope, the collapse is naturally extraordinarily fast!

When a ship on the side of Liu Pei's fleet quickly broke away from the battle group and left, it was like pulling a thread out of the line group, and a series of ships left the war group and left! Then there was the flotilla of ships scattered and fled!

Seeing the other party's fleet scattered and fleeing, Liu Peicai breathed a heavy sigh of relief! Liu Pei carefully observed the battlefield, and found that there were less than 30 Tokugawa fleets left on the battlefield, and most of them were surrounded by the four warships and did not stop attacking.

Liu Pei immediately ordered: "Leave ten ships behind, and the rest of the ships will all disperse, two as a group, and chase and kill the fleeing Japanese ships!" The more you sink, the better! ”

After speaking, Liu Pei led the army to the center of the battlefield. The situation in the center of the battlefield is already precarious! The four warships were crawling with Japanese people, and three of them still had the sound of firecrackers, and it seemed that they were still in the midst of fierce fighting.
