That is to say, if he set up a formation to engage Liu Pei, Liu Pei's fleet could take advantage of the speed advantage and wantonly search for shuttles around him in order to find fighters. And in order to maintain the formation, you will inevitably lose flexibility!

Somiura Masaki realized this problem and realized that the formation would only make his weaknesses weaker, so he simply abandoned the idea of using the formation. He simply used the time he spent fighting with Liu Pei to endure four rounds of opponent attacks and divide all the ships into several squads.

And he did not impose a hard and fast order on the number of ships. He only told his samurai that they could combine freely. It's just that the number of ships per vessel must not be less than ten, and the maximum number must not be more than thirty. When acting, it is not required to be neat, it is to fight separately.

And Miura Shoji chose the best time to raid. It was when Wu Yizhou's fleet was heading towards him that he suddenly launched. This completely unplanned attack really misled Liu Pei and Wu Yizhou! So much so that Liu Pei and the others felt that it was indeed the fleet of the Wa Kingdom that had collapsed!

So under the surprise, Wu Yizhou's fleet didn't make any dodging response at all! Starting from Wu Yizhou, everyone thought that the morale of the Japanese fleet was low and collapsed! It wasn't until the dense small-scale fleet of the Japanese fleet came over like a swarm of bees that Wu Yizhou felt that things were not good!

At the same time, his guards also informed him that the flag of the commander's flagship was hoisted to return immediately. Wu Yizhou immediately ordered the fleet to turn around. At this time, it reflected the problem of Liu Pei's insufficient fleet.

If it is a team that has been fighting naval battles for a long time, those old fritter captains will not stick to following the route of the battleship in front, but will break out of formation and quickly get rid of their opponents. However, after these captains turned to Wu Yizhou, the warships behind them were still following his tracks.

That is to say, since Wu Yizhou, the battleships behind him will turn around where he turns! The whole fleet formed a fixed turnaround point where he turned. This caused the four warships at the end to be surrounded by the warships of the Japanese Kingdom that were rushing wildly!

The frenzied warships of the Wa Kingdom even dragged them with ramming tactics

Slow down these four ships and a few crazy captains will cross their ships in front of the enemy ships' lanes, blocking their path with their own bodies!

As a result, the battleship that led the four battleships crashed and destroyed two ships in a row, and the bow of the ship was seriously damaged and its speed was greatly reduced. The captain of the battleship was also a brave and decisive man, and he immediately turned to the right to give way to the rudder. At the same time, he ordered the artillery on both sides to fire with all their might, driving away the Japanese ships that were approaching, hoping that his companions would be able to break out of the encirclement from the channel he had awayed!

But unfortunately, in just a few tens of seconds, the channel he got out of the way has been blocked by seven or eight fast closing ships! And more Japanese ships are closing in from both sides, filling in the weak points of the encirclement!

Wu Yizhou found that the four warships were surrounded by the enemy, but he did not dare to turn over and go to the rescue. Because more Wa countries feel like they are coming over like crazy! If he hesitates a little, he will be surrounded, and only by getting rid of the enemy can he consider the matter of rescue.

Wu Yizhou led the other ships to break away relatively quickly. At the time when the ship at the end of his fleet was speeding away from the Wa Kingdom, two ships staggered by him less than 50 meters behind! The fifth ship was almost surrounded!

At this time, the four ships that were surrounded felt that they had found themselves in a bad situation. They quickly rallied and brought themselves closer. Go around in circles in a small area and blast your opponents with full firepower to try to fight your way through the encirclement!

But their efforts failed! The Japanese fleet has been beaten from the morning until now, and the fleet has finally surrounded the four opponent's warships, where is it willing to let them leave easily? Under the dense artillery fire of four warships, the Japanese fleet fired dense shells from all directions, not even considering the danger of accidentally injuring their comrades!

Although those dense shells could not quickly penetrate the opponent's side because of their relatively small caliber, the sound of the shells hitting the side of the ship was like a drum beat on the side of the ship! Listen to the ship's sailors' faces turn pale!

And the dense artillery of the opposing side also blocked the deck. Any sailman who dared to board the mast was knocked down and died a terrible death

I can't bear to see it! Without the maintenance of the sailors, the sails of the four ships were broken, and the speed of the ships had been reduced to dangerous levels!

And quite a few Japanese ships have already approached and tried to send soldiers to climb the ships and fight a broadside battle! Fortunately, the four felt gathered together and repelled the approaching ships with a dense artillery barrage. They can also struggle to maintain their own safety. But it's only a matter of time before they fall.

Just when Liu Pei and Wu Yizhou were going crazy in a hurry, the brute strength of the Wa Kingdom attacked again! The chaotic fleet was no longer able to carry out Miura's orders. They rushed towards the four ships that were surrounded, wanting to vent their anger at being hit!

In fact, Miura Shoji's order was to surround these four ships as much as possible, and destroy their sails so that they could not get out of the encirclement. Then use these four ships to force the opposing fleet to come to the rescue, so that they too can be drawn into the chaos! As a result, Masaji Miura's wishful thinking was completely shattered by his own people!

At this time, Wu Yizhou's fleet had already begun to turn around, preparing to rescue the four battleships that were surrounded. Liu Pei's fleet also raised its sails and rushed over from the east side at full speed. However, the chaotic formation of the Japanese fleet could not quickly organize an interception. The tactics of the Japanese rushing up showed a negative side to them, that is, the lack of command.

The two fleets converged on the left and the right towards the Japanese fleet. Rushed directly to a distance of about 100 meters before passing the hull sideways and bombarding the opponent with naval guns. And control the course to gradually get closer to the enemy. At this distance, almost every shot can hit your opponent!

Solid shells fired by heavy artillery and chain shells and shotguns fired by light artillery kept flying through the air and smashed heavily on the Japanese fleet! Even the fuses of the flowering shells were set by the soldiers to explode in the enemy's deck or cabin for the shortest time. The planks of the ships on the edge of the Japanese fleet shattered, and the blood flowed all over the ship! Either it's sinking slowly, or it's blazing.

Liu Pei: They also did their best to rescue the four warships! In a short period of time, the two fleets destroyed no less than 20 ships, and more than a dozen ships ignited a raging fire!
