The two armies were separated by a nautical mile, and Mao Wenlong stood on the bow of the Fu ship, holding a telescope to look at the Japanese fleet in the distance. As far as the eye can see, there are dense battleships, which is magnificent!

It was only at this moment that Mao Wenlong clearly realized that it was not entirely by luck that the Japanese were able to run rampant and domineering in the sea area of the Ming Dynasty for so many years. As far as the number of these warships in front of me is indeed, no one can match it in the entire northern seas.

"I didn't expect the Japanese to really have some family background!" Mao Wenlong put down the binoculars and couldn't help but sigh.

"Chief soldier, according to the inquiries of his subordinates, these Japanese fleets in front of them are not all of them." Lihui's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry.

Before he came, he didn't know that the Japanese would have such strength, this time they gathered the originally scattered fleet, forming such a huge formation, which was no less than the number of warships of the Dongjiang Army. Winning or losing is no longer so confident in Lihui's hearts at this moment!

"And that's not the entire fleet of the Wokos?" Mao Wenlong was slightly surprised.

The number of Japanese fleets he had seen so far was comparable to the number of warships of the entire Dongjiang Navy. If this battle really has to be fought desperately, it is estimated that he is likely to lose his old book now?

"According to the information gathered by the pirates, nearly a third of the ships of the Japanese are still undispatched, and they are still guarding the ports in the south." Lihui explained again.

"There is still a third of them that have not been dispatched!" Such a result was indeed far beyond Mao Wenlong's expectations.

Li Hui paused, he hesitated and said, "Chief soldier, then should we change the battle plan......

There is no disparity in the strength of the two sides in front of them, and if they continue to fight like this, it will inevitably be a lose-lose situation. Even if the Dongjiang Army can win in the end, it will definitely be a miserable victory, which is beyond doubt.

Mao Wenlong pondered for a long time, and said with his cheeks on his cheeks: "Don't retreat, now we have no way back, even if we know that there is no good ending in the end, we can only go on hard." And there can be no hesitation, remember? ”

Escaping from the battle will only make the enemy more arrogant, which will not only affect the morale of the Dongjiang army in the future, but also plunge the entire northern sea area into chaos again. You must know that Mao Wenlong spent a lot of effort in order to clean up the chaos in the northern seas.

Although many pirates have been subdued now, it is under the influence of strong naval strength, if the navy shows weakness in front of the pirates, those pirates will definitely disperse immediately, and return to the previous scattered appearance, which is definitely not what Mao Wenlong wants to see.

Lihui hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing. The navy has its current size, which is the result of their efforts in the past few years, but now it is very likely to be ruined in this war, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

Mao Wenlong looked at Lihui's regretful expression, shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Okay, don't be reluctant." You know, when we win this war, we can drive straight into the southern seas, and then the trade there will be controlled by us, and the money will roll in, do you still need to fear that we will not have the money to grow our navy? ”

Hearing Mao Wenlong's words, Lihui immediately came to his senses. Reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, only by risking the danger and moving forward firmly, the future may be brighter. After thinking about this, Lihui was no longer so contradictory in his heart, and immediately said yes.

Mao Wenlong saw that Lihui understood the truth, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go down and prepare well, the Japanese on the opposite side are already ready to move, and they may start fighting at any time." ”

Lihui didn't dare to say more, nodded to show that he understood, and then resolutely resigned. Mao Wenlong retracted his farsighted gaze, turned his head to look up at the cloudless blue sky, frowned and muttered: "Why hasn't it arrived yet?" ”

Haoda stood beside Mao Wenlong, followed his movements and looked at the sky with nothing, and immediately understood, he arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured, Brother Chengzuo has sent a flying letter before, saying that he will arrive in time." ”

Mao Wenlong sighed lightly, nodded and said: "It's good that there is no delay, the strength of the Japanese is far beyond my expectations, and now our only reliance is those hot air balloons, hoping that their attack can severely damage those Japanese fleets." ”

That being said, Mao Wenlong no longer had much confidence that the fleet of the would-be pirates was no better than those rabble. At this moment, Mao Wenlong couldn't predict what the final outcome would be? Is this the first time he's been in such a situation?

The fleet of the Dongjiang Army began to prepare for war, and a nautical mile in front of the Dongjiang Army fleet, the fleet of the Japanese was also not idle. When the Japanese saw the appearance of the Dongjiang Army and Navy, they were ready to charge.

Noda Sakura, who had previously served as an envoy, was standing half a step behind an old man at this moment, and it was not difficult to see from his respectful look that the ordinary-looking old man in front of him had a good identity.

Indeed, the old man in front of him is a prince-level figure in the country, and this naval battle with the Dongjiang Army has alarmed these figures to come to the battlefield to supervise the battle, and it can be seen that the Japanese have felt a great threat to Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army.

"Prince Fujiwara, our army is ready to charge at any time!" A Japanese general walked quickly behind Fujiwara and bowed ninety degrees.

"Kill!" Fujiwara's indifferent voice rang out.

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the Japanese generals quickly left.

After a moment of silence, Prince Fujiwara suddenly spoke again: "Noda Sakura, have you ever found out the true background of this Mao Wenlong?" ”

Noda Sakura hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Sakura assured the prince that at present, all the warships of the Dongjiang Navy are here, and not a single one is missing. ”

Just now, Noda Sakura had already counted all the warships of the Dongjiang Army seriously, which was exactly in line with the number she had detected. Therefore, at this moment, Noda Sakura answered in the affirmative.

Prince Fujiwara's sharp gaze swept over Noda Sakura, who was bowing at ninety degrees, and said coldly: "I hope you didn't make a mistake, otherwise you know what the consequences will be!" ”

Hearing this, Noda Sakura trembled slightly, and her waist bent even more.

Prince Fujiwara stared at Noda Sakura for a while, and then let out a cold snort and turned away indifferently. It wasn't until Prince Fujiwara's figure disappeared on the deck that Noda Sakura slowly straightened her waist and looked at the direction in which Fujiwara had disappeared, with a look of fear still on her face.
