The nine warships of the Bungo Navy fled separately, and the scene was very chaotic.

"The Tosa Navy has five large ships." Ruolin Zhenxing looked at the signal from his boat, and said hatefully: "If I am on the boat, I must give them a good look!" ”

Several of the leaders thought the same way, because their best men were brought to the passenger ships, and their large ships were obviously inadequate, which made it easy for the entire fleet to fall into a state of panic, otherwise, even if the opponent was five large ships, they would not be so embarrassed.

During this period, the Japanese naval battle was still in a relatively backward stage, and it was still dominated by short-handed encounters after the hull was close, and the guns mounted on the ships were all the earliest Franc cannons, and each large ship was equipped with two or three guns, which was not the real main force of combat.

The advantage of large ships is that they carry a large number of fighters and are equipped with muskets, which are the iron cannons in the Japanese population, which can carry out medium and long-range attacks, but due to the shortcomings of iron cannons such as slow rate of fire and limited lethality, they are not the main means of warfare at this time.

At this time, the naval battle mainly relied on the strength of the ship and the strength of the people, in addition to attacking each other with arrows and iron cannons, more or to engage in broadside warfare, large ships could directly collide with small ships, of course, those with high ship skills, they could also use the ships to crash into the hull of large ships, and then board the ship for hand-to-hand combat, or set fire to the ship.

It wasn't until later, when Oda Nobunaga attacked Honganji, in order to deal with the sea reinforcements of the Mori family, he and the Kumano Navy Army's Kuki Yoshitaka jointly created an ironclad ship, and the power of firearms on the ship was able to reflect some of it, but the effect was also quite limited, and the power of the ironclad ship still lay in the collision and defense.

In general, the level of Japan's naval forces at this time was far behind the world, and when Toyotomi Hideyoshi mobilized the whole country to invade Korea in the future, he was limited by a few tortoiseshell ships of the famous Korean general Yi Sunsin, and the logistics supply was seriously harassed.

Because the main factor in the battle was manpower, the Murakami Naval Army, which had the skill of the Butterfly Formation, was able to run rampant for a while, and although several leaders heard that the Tosa Naval Army had five large ships, they had no fear on their faces, and some were just frustrated that they could not return to the ship to command the battle.

The four of them looked at Long Tao together, looking like they wanted to speak and stopped.

Long Tao also fell into a dilemma at this time, if he let them go back, it would be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and when they each drove back to the sea, and then wanted to catch them all, I was afraid that it would not be easy, and if they were not allowed to go back to command the battle, the Tosa Navy might soon attack in front of him, and then his Hagi Yaki might not be able to keep it.

"Bang!"

Another shell fell next to a Sekiki ship of Murakami's navy, nearly sinking it.

The four navy forces fanned around the southern tip of Itsukushima, from west to east were Bungo, Murakami, Shiosa, and Awaji, and now the Bungo navy was dispersed, and with the advance of the Tosa fleet, the attack finally fell to the range of the Murakami navy.

"Mr. Ashikaga!" Murakami Takeshi suddenly shouted: "If you can trust me, please let me go back and let me lead the team to drive away this group of miscellaneous fish in Tosa!" Then I will definitely come back and leave it at your disposal! ”

Long Tao looked into his eyes, and Wu Ji's sharp eyes did not shy away from staring at him.

"Mr. Ashikaga can keep a few of us as hostages, as long as you let the leader go back, he will definitely be able to repel the Tosa water army!" The crane approached slowly from one side.

Long Tao turned his head to look at her pretty face, then turned to Murakami Takeyoshi, unlocked his acupoint, and smiled: "I believe that the leader of the village is a person of faith, you can take your people back, as long as Miss Crane stays here alone." ”

Murakami Takeyoshi nodded and said: "Okay, Your Excellency, don't worry, I will definitely come back after defeating under your sword, losing convincingly, and after defeating Tosa!" After speaking, he took six people including Kurishima Tongyasu and quickly climbed down the rope ladder.

The sampan rowed quickly, carrying seven people and speeding towards Murakami's boat.

Long Tao stood at the railing of the ship's side and observed the movements of Murakami's navy.

Tsuru came to him lightly and said softly, "Mr. Ashikaga, thank you for coming to the rescue just now!" ”

"Crane girl doesn't have to be polite, you don't blame you for making a move too late."

"If I knew that Mr. was so skilled, I wouldn't have to worry about you." There was a hint of resentment in Tsuru's tone.

Long Tao stared at her and grinned: "The girl's words are really exciting!" ”

Tsuru couldn't stand his fiery eyes, turned his face away, and looked at the side of Murakami's navy.

Bukit had returned to the ship and ascended to the command platform.

"Little ones! Sortie! ”

The large ship was the first to turn around and rush out, and eight ships followed on both wings.

"Array!"

Bukit let out a loud shout, and the eight ships slowed down one by one, following behind the large ships, forming a line.

At this moment, Long Tao's perception that enveloped the entire sea area suddenly found that with Bukit's ship as the center, a force field was emitted, enveloping the eight customs ships behind, and the speed of the entire fleet suddenly increased by leaps and bounds.

Could this be the array of butterflies?

Long Tao's mind moved, carefully investigated the mysterious force field, and found that its origin point was on Murakami Buji, and at this moment, Buji seemed to be a different person, his momentum climbed, and the whole person was majestic, releasing a powerful aura.

From the power emanating from Bukit's body, Long Tao detected a sense of divine power and energy, and at the same time, he also noticed that all the people in the entire fleet who were shrouded by this stance had a kind of momentum, even the sailors who were rowing under the cabin, everyone's movements became more calm and swift, as if their physical strength had been raised a notch.

Of course, the increase in manpower alone was not enough to make the overall speed of the entire fleet suddenly increase dramatically, and Long Tao also noticed that the sea water shrouded by the position had changed, and the abnormal operation of the current pushed the entire fleet to accelerate.

This skill can affect the external environment on a large scale!

Could it be that Bukit has the power to control the sea at this moment? It's incredible!

"The Butterfly Array is worthy of being the strongest naval combat skill!" Long Tao muttered to himself, amazed.

You must know that with his current ability, he can't control the power of heaven and earth on a large scale, of course, this is also related to the fact that all he learned before was martial arts, and he had not practiced immortal Taoism, otherwise with his current energy level of planetary level, if he entered the immortal world, maybe he could also use the good Five Elements Dao technique.

What Long Tao was surprised about was how Murakami Buji, who was not very prominent in his five measurements, did this? After thinking about it, this can only be related to the worldview setting of this transcendent plane, and it seems that he will only know what is going on when he learns this skill himself.

"In the encounter on the sea, no one in our Murakami Naval Army is afraid." There was a hint of pride in Tsuru's cold voice.

At this time, Bukit's rough laughter came from the sea: "Bungo boys! If you want to kill the enemy, join my formation! ”

Two neighboring Bungoseki ships followed behind Murakami's fleet in turn.

"Charge!"

Bukit shouted, and eleven warships broke the waves, one straight ahead, the other zigzag, and rushed towards the Tosa naval army in the distance.

Long Tao found that Bukit's ship did not need a flag bearer to give orders, and the eleven ships seemed to be under the control of Bukit alone, and he changed the formation of the fleet at will, dodging the other party's shelling again and again, and finally rushed to within 500 meters of the Tosa fleet.

The firing range of the Franc cannon is 200 meters to 2,000 meters, and the heavier the cannon body, the longer the range, and the warship at this time has not yet been able to load the heavy cannon, and the firing range is within a kilometer, and the hit rate is the highest at a distance of six or seven hundred meters.

After Bukit's fleet rushed 500 meters, the threat of artillery had lost its effect, and the Tosa fleet began to fire with iron cannons.

Under the cover of the Bukit boat, the ten Seki ships advanced for more than 200 meters, and as soon as their formation changed, they rushed out from behind the Bukit ships one after another, and rushed towards the Tosa Naval Army with both wings.

The ten ships on both wings were divided into two teams, each team stared at a large ship of Tosa, and at the same time as they approached each other at great speed, the arrows on the ship fired in unison, and although the two large ships were prepared to set fire, they were also on fire.

"It's amazing!" Long Tao's mind couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scene of ten thousand arrows firing at once, those archers were obviously also affected by Bukit's "butterfly array", their movements were stable and powerful, their accuracy was extremely high, and they played an extraordinary level.

Two large ships caught fire, disrupting the formation of the Tosa Navy, while the two teams of Sekibunes on the Bukit side quickly turned around and attacked the next target.

At this time, Bukit's ship also rushed to the front, although the hull was huge, but the flexibility chased the ship, it made a sharp turn, and became a reverse parallel to the Tosa fleet, very accurately after passing two large ships on fire is to send out two rounds of iron cannon salvo, and when passing another large ship launched two artillery bombardments, the close range of cannonball attacks directly penetrated the starboard side of the opponent, the three large ships completely lost their combat ability, and finally the one was still struggling on the verge of sinking.

The two remaining ships of the Tosa Navy began to flee separately, and they all knew that a small naval battle with Murakami Buyoshi would be a sure defeat.

If you want to compete with Murakami's navy at sea, you can only rely on the numerical superiority of the fleet, because the range of influence of the butterfly array is limited, and a battle like this that happens to be within the control of Bukit will have no suspense at all.

This is also the reason why Shiosa, Awaji, and Bungo have to unite the three families when facing Murakami, and they must also form a situation of entrapment before and after, otherwise, they can't threaten to restrict Murakami Takeshi at all.

The battle ended unusually quickly, in addition to the strength of the Bukit Butterfly Formation, another reason was that the Tosa Water Army was not prepared to fight a tough battle at all for the purpose of sneak attack this time.

Four large ships fled in a hurry, two of which were on fire all the time, and it is not known if they will survive.

Bukit's fleet was limited in number, and instead of chasing after it, he concentrated on picking up the large ship that had been knocked out.

In the end, in addition to capturing a large number of weapons and equipment, many prisoners were also captured and returned triumphantly.
