Chapter 499: Defeat Has Appeared

As Zhu Gaoxi expected, the Watanabe family was also ready to send troops from the beginning, and at this moment their fleet had reached the sea less than a kilometer away from the two sides of the melee. The patriarch of the pen "Fun" Pavilion personally led the troops www.biquge.info, followed by several elders, and Watanabe Village was also impressively listed.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxi was fighting with the enemy, the situation was very chaotic, and although the Ming fleet had the upper hand, if it continued like this, sooner or later it would be greatly damaged.

After watching the battle situation, the second elder said to the patriarch: "The Ming Dynasty has presented a crisis, even if it can win this battle, it will definitely lose a lot of troops, and the eldest brother still doesn't want to send troops to help him break the siege?" Don't wait until Zhu Gaoxi blames him afterwards, and we can't explain it to him! ”

A sneer appeared on the face of the Watanabe patriarch, and he shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer, now the two sides are still evenly matched, and it is not certain who loses and who wins." If we want to send troops, at least when both sides are about to be unable to support it, or when the Ming Dynasty has a stable victory. Join the melee now, and although we can win in the end, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. ”

Hearing this, the other elders nodded in agreement with the patriarch's opinion, the life and death of others did not matter at all, the most important thing was to ensure the strength of their own family.

The second elder seemed to think that this was inappropriate, but in the face of everyone's unanimous agreement, he had no choice. I can only hope that Zhu Gaoxi will not be too aggressive afterwards.

On the other side, more than 2,000 places away from the sea off the island country, more than 300 fleets led by Fei Xin are quietly staying here.

There were more than 20 small boats coming in and out of the fleet, and they were responsible for going to investigate the changes in the battlefield, and the sound of artillery could still be clearly heard from the battlefield at a distance of more than 2,000 meters. It can be seen how fierce this battle is, Fei Xin is discussing the changes on the battlefield with several henchmen at the moment, predicting the respective chances of victory for the two sides who are hanging.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and after a while, I saw a soldier come in and say, "General Qiyu, the third squad bypassed the battlefield and found the island nation fleet on the coast of the island country. ”

"The island nation still has a fleet that has not participated in the war, is this impossible?" Fei was full of doubts in his confidence, and for a while he couldn't figure out how the Watanabe family suddenly had so many ships and troops.

Fei Xin couldn't figure it out and had to order another investigation, and at this time, another herald ran in in a panic and said urgently: "General Qiyu, those who are fighting with Luzon and the ancient dynasties are not the navy of the Watanabe family, but the Ming fleet led by Zhu Gaoxi, the second prince of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"What?" Fei Xin was taken aback.

I went back to the table and looked at the map carefully, and then I suddenly realized. No wonder the combined army of Takeo and Yan Ruwei was dragged on the battlefield, it turned out that they ran into the fleet of the Ming Dynasty.

Fei Xin figured out the key to the matter, and asked the herald to send a message to the third group, ordering them to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the Watanabe family's warship.

After giving the order, Fei Xin ordered the whole army to be ready to join the battlefield at any time to save people, and several of his henchmen were very puzzled by this. They all asked him the reason, but Fei Xin naturally couldn't reveal Tang Ming's plan, so he just casually found an excuse to get involved.

On the battlefield, Wu Fatty's face was so smoked by the black smoke from the muzzle of the cannon that he couldn't see his expression at all, and he could only see the light of hatred in a pair of bloodshot eyes.

It had only been two hours since the battle began, but he had lost more than half of his troops, and if it continued like this, he was sure that he would be wiped out in less than an hour.

Looking at Yan Ruwei's side, it is not much better than his own, if he hadn't brought twice as many troops as himself, it is estimated that this will be the same as him, and his mind is full of thoughts of defeat.

Wu Fatzi has no hope of victory at all, and the Ming fleet is becoming more and more ferocious after the initial chaos. And they themselves are getting colder and colder, and their morale is gradually declining, and there is nothing Takeo can do about it.

Although Yan Ruwei was not as embarrassed as Takeo, he was not much better, and one arm was still wrapped in white gauze, which was obviously injured. More than a dozen personal guards around him followed closely, ready to block stray bullets for him at any time, although the houseboat was not hit, but less than three meters in front of the houseboat, there was a large hole smashed by stray bullets.

The Hongyi cannon in the bow of the ship was even more knocked to the side, and it was no longer usable. Yan Ruwei's face was pale, his subordinates had just reported the losses, and according to incomplete statistics, his warships had already lost one-third, which was only a lot more. And it has begun to show a bald trend, and if it continues to fight, it will definitely be defeated.

I don't know whether to fight back frantically and make a last stand, or whether I should escape while I still have the ability to leave a little strength, Yan Ruwei struggled for a long time and still couldn't make up his mind.

Several of his deputies did not dare to disturb him at the moment, there had already been a heated debate just now, and the opinions of attacking and taking the opportunity to flee were almost evenly divided. So in the end, how to make an idea depends on Yan Ruwei himself, in fact, he is not so embarrassed, but he is just worried about Takeo, it is very likely that he will become enemies with Takeo after he leaves.

But if you don't leave, the navy that Luzon has developed with great difficulty will all be buried here, and the choice between the two is already obvious.

"General Kaiyu is not good, there is already a warship of the Watanabe family coming ahead!" A man with a panicked look and stumbling on his feet rushed into the houseboat and spoke urgently.

At this time, Yan Ruwei didn't have to think about it anymore, and immediately yelled and retreated. In the face of the Ming Dynasty, there was no hope of winning, not to mention that there were warships of the Watanabe family to join.

Yan Ruwei's movements were very fast, and his subordinates had been waiting for his words, so as soon as the order was given, they, as the main force, withdrew from the battlefield as quickly as possible.

Under Yan Ruwei's retreat without warning, poor Takeo immediately became the force to cut off his back, and instantly endured all the firepower of the Ming warship. In just a split second, nearly ten treasure ships were destroyed and dozens of warships were sunk.

In the desperate situation, his personal guard no longer ignored the mad Takeo, and carried him onto an ordinary battleship without saying a word. With a few ships as escorts, he hurriedly fled to the rear, just hanging tightly behind Yan Ruwei's retreating fleet.

Yan Ruwei didn't know that there were several battleships behind him, and there were Takeo on them, and he thought it was just a few battleships that escaped without permission, so he didn't pay much attention to it. At this point, Takeo can be regarded as picking up a life, if Yan Ruwei knew that he was on these ships, Lao Yan would definitely not let Takeo leave the battlefield alive. (To be continued.) )
