Chapter 475: The Mightiness of Zhiyuan
Zhou Yu listened to Zhu Hao's refusal to back down, his expression was very worried, and after a while, he spoke again and said:
"Your Highness, now that the opponent's warships are constantly approaching us, they have entered the blind spot of our artillery attacks, and the red-coated cannons on our ship are difficult to threaten them anymore!"
"Besides, according to the subordinates, the other party wants to get close to us, and then climb aboard the 'Zhiyuan' to engage us, judging from the number of people carried by the opponent's fleet, it is difficult for the soldiers on our 'Zhiyuan' to resist the other party!"
"Therefore, according to the subordinates, we still retreat at the moment, wait for the arrival of our fleet, and then make plans, this is a strategic transfer, not an escape!"
After Zhou Yu's words were finished, Zhu Hao shook his head and said:
"Whether it's a strategic shift or a retreat, in essence, we still retreat, I'm a big country in Middle-earth, how can I retreat!"
"These Japanese slaves still want to board the ship and fight with this king, it's really whimsical, this king won't, give them such a chance!"
Zhu Hao said, and ordered:
"All deck personnel, get into the cabin and sit tight!"
These soldiers didn't understand why they believed in the king when they were already going to board the ship and fight them, but let them enter the cabin to hide, but the military order was like a mountain.
Although most of these soldiers had some doubts in their hearts, they all obeyed Zhu Hao's orders and entered the cabin.
Zhou Yu, who was beside Zhu Hao, did not move, listening to Zhu Hao's order, his face was full of doubts:
"Your Highness, ...... you"
Zhu Hao didn't wait for Zhou Yu to finish speaking, he made a silent gesture to Zhou Yu, signaling Zhou Yu not to interrupt him, and then, after Zhou Yu stopped talking, Zhu Hao ordered again:
"Command Lu Ban, crash into the approaching warships of the Japanese Kingdom, and whoever dares to approach will be sunk!"
Zhu Hao wants to reproduce the scene of the "Zhiyuan" ramming and sinking a Japanese warship, but the result of the "Zhiyuan" this time will not be the same as last time, after all, the sturdiness of the "Zhiyuan" has been tested.
With Zhu Hao's order issued, Lu Ban drove the "Zhiyuan" to think about the closest warship to the "Zhiyuan".
With a loud "boom" sound, accompanied by the frightened shouts and howls of the soldiers on the rammed Japanese warship, the Japanese warship was knocked out of a huge gap, and then slowly sank into the icy water.
In the face of such a scene, the warships of the Japanese Kingdom that had just approached the "Zhiyuan" were frightened and hesitated in fear.
This scene made Yamada Kazuki, the commander of the fleet of the Wa Kingdom, scold "Ya Ya Road", but in this sentence, he doesn't know whether he is scolding the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty or scolding his own stagnation, maybe both!
In fact, according to common sense, military orders are like mountains, and the fleets of these Japanese countries will not dare to stagnate without the orders of Yamamoto Kazuki, the commander, at least this situation will never happen in the Ming Dynasty.
However, this situation is very normal in the Wa Kingdom.
Because the Wa Kingdom at this moment was in the time of the shogunate's rule, although these fleets were nominally transferred by the shogunate's generals, they were all behind each other, representing the interests of their respective families.
Therefore, in the event of endangering oneself and one's own family, the captain of each warship will choose whether to continue to carry out the orders of the commander Yamada Kazuki according to the situation.
Yamada Kazuki, seeing that the fleet from one side was frightened by the ferocity of the "Zhiyuan", and immediately ordered the captains of each fleet to continue to approach the "Zhiyuan".
However, these captains didn't listen to Yamamoto Kazuki at all, and stopped stepping forward, at this time, Zhu Hao looked at the sunken warship of the Japanese Kingdom, and immediately continued to order Lu Ban excitedly:
"Lord Gong, don't be stupid!"
"Those fools, who were shocked by the 'Zhiyuan', didn't dare to move, and immediately continued to ram the king, marching to the northwest, but if there is a warship in front of them, they will sink him for the king!"
"This king is going to give these Japanese slaves a profound lesson today, let them know that I am a great master of the Ming Dynasty, they can't afford to provoke them, and they can't set foot in this sea area!"
With Zhu Hao's order, Lu Ban immediately drove the "Zhiyuan" to the northwest, and several warships in the northwest were sunk by the Zhiyuan because they could not dodge in time.
Subsequently, the captains of the Japanese fleet in the northwest ordered their warships to get out of the way and stay away from the "Zhiyuan".
In this way, the "Zhiyuan" easily jumped out, and Yamada Kazuki used Charlie as a bait to design an encirclement.
Seeing that the "Zhiyuan" was out of the encirclement of the Wa Kingdom, Zhou Yu, who was beside Zhu Hao, bowed to Zhu Hao and sighed:
"Since ancient times, there has never been a person like His Highness who commanded a warship!"
"Your Highness's ability, let your subordinates admire!"
Zhu Hao couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhou Yu compliment him, and then said:
"Zhou Dudu, don't compliment this king!"
"If it weren't for Lord Gongyi, this 'Zhiyuan' built would be extremely strong, and this king had just ordered to ram the opponent's warship, it would just be a suicide attack in desperation!"
Zhu Hao's words were actually inspired by feelings, and he couldn't help but think of the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, the ending of Deng Shichang and the Zhiyuan, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, but he couldn't talk to anyone.
Zhou Yu listened to Zhu Hao's words, bowed slightly again, and said:
"Your Highness is too humble, you can use your advantages, break the conventional way, and launch an attack, Your Highness's ability is by no means weaker than any commander in history!"
Zhu Hao listened to Zhou Yu's words of praise for him, and couldn't help but blush, and his heart was weak for a while.
In fact, Zhu Hao just let the "Zhiyuan" ram the Japanese fleet, in fact, in order to make Deng Shichang and Zhiyuan angry in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, and he didn't think too much.
As for whether the "Zhiyuan" can withstand the huge destructive power caused by the collision of the two ships, he actually has no bottom in his heart, but he thinks that if he can't resist it, he still has a lot of diving equipment on the ship, enough to escape, so that the other party can't find him.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhou Yu praised Zhu Hao, after full analysis, and broke the conventional command, how could he not be weak-minded.
Facing the embarrassment in his heart, Zhu Hao snorted, no longer discussing with Zhou Yu what he had just done, but continued to look at the Japanese fleet behind him.
After a while, Zhu Hao opened his mouth and said to Lu Ban:
"Lord Gong, turn the 'Zhiyuan' around, and we'll rush back!"
Lu Ban was not surprised by Zhu Hao's order, he firmly carried out Zhu Hao's order, and commanded the 'Zhiyuan' to begin to turn around, but Zhou Yu on the side was not calm.
