Chapter 596: Twists and Turns

The sea at night has a charming charm, the bright moonlight pours on the sea, reflecting the crystal luster, rippling water waves layer on top of each other, as if the most delicate texture is scattered in the distance, and the stars in the distance are connected with the sea water, the stars are dotted and colorful.

It's a pity that Wang Xu has no intention of appreciating such a beautiful scenery, and his eyes always stay on the fleet that is approaching quickly.

"Navy, how to deal with it?"

Fan Tong frowned and thought quickly: "Lord, there is no need to worry, Hequan here has suffered heavy casualties, and there is not much combat power, and the Japanese bandits are not much stronger than us, and they can fight, if they retreat now, it will consume more bodies of the seafarers and guards, and it will be even more difficult." ”

"Hmm." Wang Xu nodded: "I believe in you, you make the decision." ”

The fleet of Japanese pirates was reinforcing at a rapid pace, and Izumi, who was already overwhelmed, was overjoyed, and every moment he had to calculate the distance between the two sides, as if this would make the speed faster.

Not long after, the fleet of Japanese pirates arrived, but strangely enough, they did not join the battle at the first time, but instead the flagship hurried towards the location of Izumi.

Izumi looked at it suspiciously, until he saw Sato standing on the bow of the boat over there, and his heart was finally relieved. "Sato, help me kill Wang Xu."

Sato observed the battlefield for a moment, hesitated and said: "Izumi-kun, although we repelled the mixed fleet of the Cao family, but the losses were not small, and now we have been running for so long, everyone is tired, seeing that your side is also suffering heavy casualties, and the combat power has been greatly reduced, if you continue to fight, I am afraid it will be difficult to win." ”

Hearing this, Hequan was angry in his heart, but now this side has lost its strong combat power. Obviously, he couldn't defeat Wang Xu. He didn't want to offend Sato. Can only be anxiously explained. "Sato, although Wang Xu's guards are elite, they are originally few and not good at naval warfare, and now they are exhausted to bully us, but they have an advantage, but I have been fighting with them here for so long, and the brothers can be regarded as consuming a lot of each other's bodies with their lives. The situation is similar on both sides, as long as your people join, you will be able to break the enemy in no time. ”

"But even if you win, the losses are quite large!" Sato was still hesitant.

Seeing the increasingly unfavorable battle situation, Izumi had no intention of arguing with Sato more, gritted his teeth and said, "If you are willing to join the battle now and promise your things, I will double it." ”

"It's not enough to double, the samurai are dead, what's the use of taking so much material and money? The original convention. It's just to help you set up an ambush, but now it's not only been pursued for so many days. also inexplicably fought with the Cao family's fleet, and the losses were not small, which has greatly exceeded expectations. Besides, if it is delayed for so long, maybe there will be a large fleet of mortal enemies coming over, and in this situation, how can we meet it? This is an unaffordable risk. Sato still wouldn't let go.

"You ......" Hequan wanted to scold, but after his lips trembled, he finally couldn't scold, and after thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "If you kill Wang Xu, then the island where the Hequan family now settles will be given to you." ”

"Huh?" Sato's eyes widened instantly.

He is very aware of the superior environment of that island, not only is the area huge, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is also an excellent supply point, the surrounding climate and environment are also very stable, and the various resources on the island are quite rich.

Because of these advantages, even the imperial army of Yamatai sent people to collect it several times, and they all returned, and this family also retained its bloodline. If he Sato can get this island, he will no longer be wandering around, and he will be able to return to the vicinity of Yamadai's hometown to survive, and even grow rapidly.

But he knew that this island was the lifeblood of Izumi, and he wanted to use it as a base to rise again and restore the country, and it was surprising that he was willing to let it out.

Of course, for him, this is also a fatal temptation.

"Izumi-kun, can you take this seriously?"

"Really, as long as I kill Wang Xu, I can be a hostage, plus I can convince the family, no problem." Izumi gritted his teeth.

"If that's the case, then Sato is willing to serve you." Sato smiled, "However, I wonder what reason Your Excellency can use to persuade the entire family to give up the island?" Although Your Excellency is the patriarch of the family, it is not so easy! ”

"Kill Wang Xu, the son of the Yuan family is willing to fully support my restoration of the country, is this reason enough? Without saying too much, as long as I lend 10,000 elite soldiers and enough supplies and food, I will be able to transport them back to Yamatai and establish a new kingdom. Izumi said with a cold face.

After hearing this, Sato recognized it in his heart, but his face sank, and he asked solemnly: "Izumi-kun, if you want to restore the country, you can't control it, but Your Excellency took the soldiers of the Han Dynasty to your hometown and my homeland, if they are not controllable, Your Excellency is a sinner." ”

"Don't worry, Yuan Gongzi won't be interested in Yamatai, in the eyes of their Han people, our places are barbarian lands and not worth grabbing. Besides, I have a plan in my heart, and if they really break their promise, the sea is the best way to destroy them. Izumi affirmed.

Sato obviously also knew the Han people very well, and did not refute anything, but sighed softly: "In fact, if one day, the Han people attach importance to the sea, reuse the warriors on the sea, and then build a powerful fleet, and have ambitions for my Yamatai, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Don't worry, the Han people won't, when they really look at it, we will already follow suit and develop and grow, just like a lot of technology on our warship, isn't it from the Han Dynasty? I heard that there are many of them, and they were the first to be successfully manufactured in Jingzhou, which is Wang Xu. "Izumi said leisurely.

Sato was silent for a moment, didn't say anything more, and held the combat knife at his waist. "In that case, the despicable man ordered the samurai to kill him."

His figure quickly disappeared on the bow of the boat, and Izumi watched quietly, the flame in his heart burned more and more, even if he was not sure, but he still had to gamble, as a restorer, he was crazy, and he would never stop if he didn't fight until the last moment.

The fleet of the Japanese pirates quickly entered a combat state, and divided into several groups to move closer to Wang Xu's fleet, intending to board the ship to fight.

Wang Xu looked at this qiē, but remained silent.

"Kick, kick, kick!"

Suddenly, more than a dozen crew members hurriedly climbed to the top floor, and the dense footsteps attracted Fan Tong's attention, and he reprimanded him on the spot: "You are not waiting for orders under the cabin." What are you doing here? ”

The one at the front looked at him. He did not speak. Then he looked at Wang Xu and pulled out his war knife with a "sigh".

"Brothers, reinforcements have come from the Japanese side, as long as Wang Xu is captured, the task can be completed."

"Do you guys really want to make a move?" Wang Xu was not in a hurry or impatient, and asked with interest.

"So what?" The leader said murderously.

"Oh! Then I will send you to the sea to feed the fish. ”

As soon as the words fell, before Fan Tong could react, the sword in Wang Xu's hand was already sharply struck. The figure jumped vertically, like a roc pounced, killing into the crowd.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The sound of weapons colliding sounded, Wang Xu moved and crossed, the long sword crossed the air, and the afterimage of the Dao was drawn, his whole body was full of energy, and his clothes were grinning, like a killing god, after a while. These more than ten kung fu are not bad, and they all lie on the ground. Blood-stained mansions.

"I can't help myself!" Putting the sword into the sheath, he quietly looked at the corpses all over the ground: "I knew earlier that there was something wrong with your group of people, but I just thought that you were diligent and considered a man, so I was given a chance, don't blame me if you die." ”

Fan Tong next to him was already stunned. "Lord, why is your martial arts so ...... So powerful! ”

Wang Xu showed a slight smile: "It's okay, there are not many people in the world who can fight with me." The following pirates can't stop me at all, let alone me, even General Zhang He, they can't stop me. ”

Fan Tong was amazed, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, and said strangely: "Lord, if that's the case, then wouldn't Hequan lose no matter how he fights now?" ”

"Well, it was, is there anything strange?" Wang Xu smiled with relief and said disappreciatively: "If there is a possibility of losing, will I still stand here and watch slowly?" Don't worry, when you really can't beat it, General Zhang He or me, anyone just needs to rush to the other party's flagship, go straight to Hequan, and catch it. The only thing to be aware of is that this ship must be connected to Izumi's ship, otherwise it will be very troublesome. ”

"With the general's martial arts, coupled with the small area of engagement on the warship and the many covers, wouldn't this be invincible?" Fan Tong sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Wang Xu shook his head: "This is too much, this is not a large-scale naval battle, if there are really thousands of warships fighting, the ability of the individual will not be so useful." However, according to what you said, there is no really strong sea power near Dahan at all, so there is not much threat to me. I'm afraid that only the ambush I talked about earlier can cause me harm, but who made him unlucky! ”

"Huh!" Fan Tong smiled, his face was full of ease: "In this way, the subordinates can rest assured, I am afraid that in addition to the intrigues and the sea itself, only the power of the Evil Horse Taiguo on the frontal battlefield can put the general in danger, no matter how bad it is, our flagship can run away at any time." ”

"yes!" The corners of Wang Xu's mouth hooked an arc, and he said longingly: "So when the world is calm, I will lead hundreds of thousands, or even thousands of powerful sea ships, to attack Yamatai together, so that there will be no danger!" ”

Fan Tong was stunned and laughed, looking at the direction of Yamatai in a daze, thousands of warships, what kind of scene is that, I am afraid that it will cover the sky and the sun, if one day, he can become one of the commanders, then ......

Thinking about it, he only felt his blood surge.

But before he could get his fill, the flag bearer next to him had already exclaimed again, interrupting his longing.

"General Wang, there is a relatively large fleet in the east, and it is estimated from the lights that there should be more than ten large warships."

"East?" Wang Xu frowned, casually looked at the huge compass next to him, that is, the oldest compass, and said strangely: "It is indeed the east, is it possible that Hequan still has a fleet, if that is really troublesome, you need to consider retreating." ”

Fan Tong also looked over anxiously, but unfortunately the moonlight was too dark to see clearly.

After thinking for a moment, he decisively ordered: "Order all ships to set sail immediately, regardless of anything else, and first take leaving the battlefield as the primary goal." ”

"No!"

The flag bearer waved the flag quickly, which was very conspicuous in the light of the fire, and the flag bearer on the other ships also quickly responded and signaled that it had been received.

The seafarers, who were hiding in the cabin, were ordered to quickly step on the wheel, and the helmsman also quickly turned the rudder to control the direction of the ship.

In the blink of an eye, the water splashed and the ships set sail.

Observing this, Izumi thought that this side could not stand it, and shouted loudly with joy: "Quick, quickly entangle the other party with an iron hook, and don't let them run away, brothers, the glory and wealth are about to be yours." ”

In an instant, the pirates let out a deafening cheer, their morale was greatly boosted, and they shouted to launch an attack.
