Chapter 749: Differences of Opinion

"Huhuhu~~~"

As the battleship slowly moved towards the edge of Hateruma Island, the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate at some point.

On the coastline on the edge of Hateruma Island, warships loaded with Han Chinese and Ryukyu natives appeared.

They discovered the huge fleet of ships that had attacked Hateruma Island, and they lit the beacon fire on the deck of the warship to send a message to Hateruma Island to confirm the Shogun's suspicions.

It's a pity that these soldiers are stupid enough, and when they light the beacon fire on the warship, the red smoke mixed with black gas not only informs the island, but also reveals the location of their own ships.

As a result, he naturally set himself up as a live target, which caused Liu Renliang to involuntarily arrange the Shenwu guards on the ship and the Okinawa naval army to start a joint strangulation of the warships under Yang Xuan's command.

With the help of the fierce flames ignited on the deck, Liu Renliang could see very clearly that the warships belonging to Yang Jun on the opposite side had actually transferred more than thirty ships in a hurry.

Moreover, these warships are all based on medium-sized Fu ships, although they were built to pursue speed and agility and sacrifice the characteristics of carrying a large number of people, but this ship can also carry more than 200 fully armed soldiers.

More than 30 warships, that is, more than 6,000 and nearly 7,000 sailors!

It seems that Li Fazhong's previous Yang Xuan forces were wrong, there are 6,000 sailors here alone, so there are not many infantry responsible for defending the city!

Coupled with the number of troops placed on the main island by Yang Xuan, there are more than 30,000, which is seriously inconsistent with the number of only 15,000 people under Yang Xuan's command under the previous investigation, which is more than double!

……

The clock went back two quarters of an hour ago.

Just when the naval camp on Hateruma Island received the order of its own admiral, he immediately reacted:

All the sailors and soldiers urgently assembled and boarded the ship, and the ship's handymen were not idle, after hastily preparing their weapons and lifting anchor. Before they even had time to disembark, the thirty or so warships had already rushed out of the naval camp and were ready to meet the enemy.

Although they had an absolute advantage in the number of warships, it was a pity that they were joined by twenty sea ships from Okinawa, including three steam-steel warships.

With these three steel warships, it is said that there are more than 30 warships, even if there are a hundred large ships converted into warships, it is not a single one.

So, with the help of the power of the cannon. However, the twenty warships, like a middle-aged man with guns, bullied a child who had just learned to climb and had no power to tie the chicken, with unparalleled momentum, directly crushed the past.

In the face of these powerful cannons, the warships of Hateruma Island were like papier-mâché, and they could be broken with a single stab.

With the earth-shattering sound of cannons, all the thirty warships on Hateruma Island lost their strength to resist. It was destroyed by the Shenwu cannon, and some of the broken hulls floated on the sea, and some sank directly into the sea.

A large number of soldiers on Hateruma Island also suffered as a result, and they struggled desperately in the sea. Everywhere there were stumps, severed arms, and broken corpses......

By the clear moonlight and the enemy ships that had been ignited by the fire of Kamui cannons, it was clear that the sea below had become a sea of blood and fire, and many soldiers of Hateruma Island were killed almost all the time.

The navy on Hateruma Island. Although it was superior in numbers to the combined forces of the Jinmuwei army and the Okinawa naval army, it was obviously inferior to the Jinmuwei in terms of the armament of the warships alone.

There is also a bit of bad luck. That is, the army under Yang Xian's command responded to the battle in a hurry, coupled with the fact that the weapons and equipment were not good, and they did not have the slightest advantage in any aspect, so from the beginning of the war, the entire battle situation showed a one-sided situation.

Seeing this situation, the general who appeared on the coast at some point changed his face wildly, and ordered the remaining navies to retreat to the naval camp on Hateruma Island, and at the same time took out an order to send people to the tiger camp not far from the main city, and transferred the remaining 2,000 soldiers to jointly defend against the enemy.

……

At this moment, Yang Jun, who was hiding in the Jungle City, had already gotten the news.

After all, the Shenwu guard was not a cannonball, and it would be enough to bang for a while.

It was a powerful cannon, and the sound of earth-shattering artillery fire could be heard even from a distance of eight miles and ten miles, of course, the premise was that Yang Yun was not a deaf person.

After receiving the news sent by his henchman Li Wenchao, and combined with his own guesses, Yang Jun quickly judged that the person who attacked was actually the Shenwuwei of the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Yang Yun became agitated, because he knew that these soldiers on Boteruma Island alone were no match for the Shenwuwei army at all.

What's more, this attack is not only the Tang Shenwuwei, but also the naval army from Okinawa.

At this moment, the main hall in that small city was once again full of people, all of whom were Yang Jin's henchmen and courtiers.

"Your Highness, this time I see that the Datang and Okinawa sides are prepared, and the only thing we can do now is to evacuate quickly, after all, with our strength at the moment, we are not the opponents of the other party!" A lean middle-aged man with a hooked nose stood up and said.

The middle-aged man's voice fell, and immediately there was an old man with gray hair, who took over the conversation:

"What Lord Zhao said is very true, there is a saying in Dengzhou that the green mountains are left, and you are not afraid of no firewood! Now the Tiger Ben army outside my city plus the soldiers defending the city have only 8,000 left and right people, and I am afraid that such a force will even become a problem for defense. If you don't withdraw now, if you wait for the Shenwu Guard to attack the city, I'm afraid that it will be broken by the other party in one fell swoop! ”

Li Yuanba's quote from the scriptures was used by them very well.

"!"

The white old man's voice landed, and a military general with a big face and a thick face stood up, glared angrily at Lord Zhao and the old man who had just spoken, and said:

"The soldiers in front of them are desperately working outside the city in order to protect the city and His Highness, but we are here thinking about how to escape, don't you think this will chill the hearts of the soldiers outside the city?"

When he said this, the military general turned to Yang Jian and said solemnly:

"Your Highness, the last general is willing to lead the Jinwuwei in the city out of the city, and together with the brothers of the Tiger Army, go to the coastline to kill the enemy!"

"Stupid!"

Lord Zhao, who was the first to speak, took two steps forward and said: "The enemy is menacing, and the naval camp is very strong, coupled with the geographical advantage, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Didn't they do this precisely to protect His Highness's golden body? With such favorable conditions, if we do not withdraw now, will we not fail the loyal hearts of the officers and men of the navy?
