"The rest of the warships don't care about it at all, all the warships go straight to Zhu Di's handsome ship."

"Whether it is sinking his handsome ship or capturing Zhu Di, the rest of the Ming warships will definitely fall apart. The dragons have no leader, the people have no fighting spirit, and they collapse without a fight. However, it is better to capture alive, a living Ming Dynasty prince is much more useful than a dead Ming Dynasty prince. ”

"Not bad, not bad." The two nodded.

"This battle will surely become a famous battle for us! And it's a must-win battle. ”

"Hey!"

When the two of them heard this, they were also excited in their hearts.

Soon, the three feudal lords left the big tent and hurried to their headquarters to transfer troops, and time waited for no one.

On Tsushima Island, there were five harbors and three warships of feudal lords, which were garrisoned by separate troops. In the dangerous places on the island, there are also forts and turrets, and if the Ming warships pass by, they can also bombard them condescendingly.

However, by this time, the warships of the five harbors had already poured out of the harbor and sailed out of the harbor.

Four hundred warships of the Japanese kingdom, divided into five fleets.

Arima Hiroyoshi's three teams of warships were in the center, and the two teams of ships of Yuzuki Motoqin and Takahashi Shozo responded on both sides. Five teams of warships formed a goose-shaped formation, with the two flanks outflanking left and right, and the middle three teams advancing forward.

Because it was necessary to surround the Ming warships with lightning speed.

Therefore, the oarsmen on the warships of the Japanese kingdom took off their shirts one by one and rowed desperately. Let the speed of the warship reach the limit. The men of the Japanese country, who are only about 1.5 meters tall, are naked, hunched over and paddled, sweating like rain.

At this time, the Ming warships were downwind, and the Japanese warships were headwinds when they left the port to surround them, so all their sails were lowered.

……

In the early hours of the next morning.

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the sea in the early morning, Zhu Di and the Ying Yangwei commander next to him, Xie Cheng, and Hu Weiyong saw the warships of the Japanese Kingdom on the sea in front of them.

There are five fleets, overwhelming and dense, and they are rapidly heading towards the Ming fleet.

It's close, less than five kilometers away.

Because it was a night march and there was no radar, the warships of the Japanese Kingdom did not have torches, which was equivalent to pincers and horses on land, and it was difficult to detect.

There is no 'clairvoyance', so you can only see it with the naked eye at dawn the next day.

It is already impossible to retreat in such a situation, naval battles are not the same as land battles, and it is difficult to retreat in naval battles when encountering unfavorable combat conditions. The size of the warship is too large, and it will take a long time to turn around.

In addition, running back is against the wind and current, and the sails need to be lowered.

At this time, the Ming warships spread their sails and sailed downwind and followed the ocean current towards the warships of the Japanese Kingdom. The warships of the Wa Kingdom had no sails, and went upriver and surrounded the Ming warships.

"Tell the ships to prepare for war!" Yan Wang Zhu Di's expression froze, and his face showed a wave of excitement.

"No!"

Hearing this, Xie Cheng, the commander of the Eagle Yang Guard, gave instructions to the herald standing on the high platform. The flag-bearer above began to wave the flag with both hands and began to convey it to the surrounding ships in the language of the two-flag flag.

Kakaka!

After receiving the orders, the gunners began to adjust the muzzles of the guns in the direction of the enemy ships, filled the shells, and lit the torches ready to ignite the fuse at any time.

"Don't lower the sails, go full speed to the boat!" Zhu Di said.

"No." However, Xie Cheng said, "Your Royal Highness King Yuyan, our side is sailing with the wind, and the enemy ships are advancing towards us again, if we fully accelerate, we will enter the range of enemy artillery in just a quarter of an hour." ”

"The situation of war can become an uncontrollable situation in an instant, and a dangerous situation can easily become a desperate situation."

"Give orders to the ships, and lower the sails." Xie Cheng said to the herald, "Each ship forms a four-gate bottom formation, surrounds the handsome boats, and protects them in the middle. ”

Soon, the flag speaker gave the flag.

The ships quickly lowered their sails and began to surround the handsome ship in which they were located.

Seeing this, Zhu Di's expression suddenly became cold, "Xie Cheng, is this king the boss or are you the boss?" How dare you disobey the king's orders and change the tactics of war without authorization? ”

"Your Highness, the last general is also doing this for the sake of His Highness's safety." Xie Chengdao, "And Lord Hu also agrees to this matter." ”

Hu Weiyong couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Previously, he and Xie Cheng had a secret meeting, and the two agreed that they would do everything possible to protect Zhu Di's safety, and Xie Cheng could disobey orders when he was on the battlefield, which was called not being subject to military orders abroad.

However, Xie Cheng directly pulled him out to cushion his back, making him sad. I thought that I shouldn't have conspired with these martial artists, and exposed myself every minute. If you had conspired with Wenchen, this kind of thing would never have happened.

"Hu Weiyong, you are so bold!" Zhu Di's expression was cold, "Disobedience on the battlefield is a capital crime!" ”

"Your Highness, General Xie is also forced to do this." Hu Weiyong said.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, even if you behead the last general, the last general will still do this." Xie Cheng said stiffly. If he can keep Zhu Di safe, then the soldiers are safe, and the families of the rest of the soldiers are also safe.

This deal, a good deal.

"Well said!" Zhu Di said coldly, "Someone is coming, arrest Xie Cheng and Hu Weiyong for me, and correct the law on the spot!" ”

Soon, dozens of guards pressed Xie Cheng and Hu Weiyong to the ground.

These guards were all brought by King Yan, not subordinates of other generals, they only listened to King Yan's orders.

The officers and soldiers next to them looked at each other when they heard this, and in an instant, the soldiers on the entire ship knelt down on one knee and pleaded with Xie Cheng and Hu Weiyong, "I beg His Royal Highness King Yan to forgive General Xie and Lord Hu." ”

They are all Xie Cheng's old subordinates, many of whom are Huaixi veterans who participated in the Poyang Lake Water Battle, who have followed him from birth to death before, and have the feeling of comrades, and they definitely don't want to see their old commander beheaded.

At this time, Zhu Di quickly thought about the current situation in his mind: In terms of dignity, he is the King of Yan, although he only brought fifty personal guards, it was enough to deter Xie Cheng's old subordinates.

In terms of nostalgia, he is also a Huaixi person, and the sergeants have a very strong concept of clan origin.

Therefore, he is now able to kill Xie Cheng.

Don't think that the prince can kill generals at will in the military camp, Brother Jiu is in Nian Qianyao's northwest camp, and he has to accompany Nian Qianyao with a smiling face. Even the emperor could not do it in the barracks, the holy decree was greater than the military order.

In history, I don't know how many emperors and princes who were personally conscripted were forcibly protected and dragged away by their subordinates when they were in danger.

Zhu Di obviously does not want to see such a situation appear, he has his own operational ideas, he wants to have the command of the whole line instead of being protected: "First take them down and lock them up." ”

"No!" Soon, Hu Weiyong and Xie Chengcheng were escorted down.

"Re-order!" Zhu Di's expression was cold, "All the warships hung up their sails and advanced towards the Japanese ships at full speed, forming a geese-shaped formation, with two wings facing the two wings of the Japanese ships, and the middle portal was opened, allowing the enemy ships to rush in." ”
