Inoue Ichiro heard that Hiroki Kato was going to die, and he was going to take himself with him, of course he was unwilling.

He immediately spoke:

"Kato-kun, you also heard the firepower of the Ming army just now, the firepower of one ship is already so huge, if forty ships fire at the same time, we may not be able to bear it."

"If you want me to see, we might as well endure for a while, why do we have to fight with the Ming army at this time?"

Inoue Ichiro for his own life, this remark can be said to be sincere, without a little water.

In his opinion, his analysis is penetrating, even if he doesn't move Kato Hiroki, at least he can say that he can move some of the leaders present to persuade Kato Hiroki with him.

"Shhhhh

But as soon as his words fell, he attracted a lot of boos, and this burst of boos only made Inoue Ichiro's blood rush from his crotch to Tianlinggai.

Kato Hiroki said with disdain:

"It seems that Inoue-kun has completely lost, and the dignity of the samurai has simply lost the face of the samurai."

"Since Inoue-kun is afraid, then please leave Shuangyu Island quickly, we don't need a coward like you."

"Who said I was scared?"

Inoue Ichiro was already carried away by anger at the moment, and roared loudly:

"I'll go with you!"

A hint of cunning flashed in Kato Hiroki's eyes, and he changed his face and said:

"Then please ask Inoue Jun to prepare quickly, we will board the ship later and go to intercept the Ming army."

Inoue Ichiro angrily turned around and left the council chamber, while Kato Hiroki began to dispatch troops and arrange plans to attack the Ming army.

....

After Li Jin sank the Japanese ships, he didn't take this matter to heart at all, and still kept rushing south.

In Li Jin's view, it is just a dilapidated Japanese ship, which will be wiped out in a snap of a finger, where is the need to stop for this?

Their immediate task now is to rush to the waters of Fujian.

Even if they didn't rush to Fuzhou Mansion in the first place, as long as they got the waters of Fujian, then the Japanese who besieged Fuzhou Mansion would never turn a blind eye to themselves and others.

This will greatly alleviate Deng Yu's pressure.

Xu Da also meant this, under the common will of the two, the fleet went all the way south without the slightest stop.

After all, after Xu Da saw the firepower of the fleet, he didn't think that there were still would-be would-be robbers who would dare to come and provoke without a long eye.

But when Li Jin ordered 10,000 cannons to be fired, Xu Da was taken aback.

Although Xu Da had seen the power of artillery, it was the first time in his life to fight at sea.

There have been several water battles before, the most famous is the Battle of Dongting Lake, which completely annihilated Chen Youliang's 600,000 troops in a battle, laying the foundation for the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

But it's a water battle, which is completely different from fighting in the sea.

A simple example, the small boat piloted by Xu Da at that time was only a hundred feet away from Chen Youliang's invincible giant ship, and the battle between the two sides could be described as a close battle.

After all, Dongting Lake is so big, the two sides put on a posture, and millions of troops are crowded in Dongting Lake, and they can only meet each other in a short battle.

And above the sea, it is really endless, vast.

The two sides are fighting, and the most important mode of combat is artillery.

Li Jin's 10,000-strong cannon shot this time completely shocked Xu Da.

Not to mention that on the sea, even in the steppe, there has never been such a spectacular scene at war with the Mongols.

The artillery of this era was still such a bulky thing that it was impossible to use in the field.

Xu Da couldn't help but be shocked when he witnessed the process of a living big ship disappearing with only half a cup of tea.

There is a further understanding of the strength of Li Jin's navy.

Although the strength of the Marine Corps still needs to be improved, in the battle at sea, no one must be able to defeat Li Jin's fleet.

While passing through Wenzhou during the southward journey, the staff officer of the war room suggested that he should enter the port of Wenzhou and rest for a day to replenish fresh water and food.

However, before Li Jin set off, he had already stored a large amount of food in the cargo ship in order to hurry, enough for the navy to eat for a month, so there was no need to worry about the food problem at all.

As for fresh water, it can be replenished on the island.

Li Jin did not follow the advice of the war room, but after discussing with Xu Da, he decided to continue south.

Xu Da was also very confident in the strength of his fleet, and his opinion was the same as Li Jin's, and there was no need to waste time in Wenzhou.

If we arrive in Fujian as soon as possible, we will be able to save the people from hanging upside down as soon as possible.

The fleet has been rushing through Wenzhou, and is about to come to the waters of Fujian, before it can be stopped.

It's not because I met an eyeless widow, but it's getting dark.

Although Li Jin and Xu Da were in a hurry, it was definitely impossible to continue the march after dark, after all, if they drove the ship at night, it was very likely to lose their way and even cause the ship to run aground.

Eventually, under the arrangement of the staff officer in the war room, the fleet found a small unnamed island before dark, which was used as a shelter, and planned to stop here for the night and continue the journey the next day.

After Li Jin and Xu Da discussed taking turns to keep vigil, they asked Xu Da to rest first.

The island of Wenzhou is a small island chain, and there are many similar small islands in front of and behind.

And behind the island where Li Jin was resting, less than ten miles away, a similar small island harbor was already filled with nearly a hundred ships, large and small.

Hiroki Kato and Ichiro Inoue were on one of the ships, and at the moment Hiroki Kato was making the final mobilization before the attack.

"Brothers, news has come from the sentry ahead that the enemy is indeed resting on the islands in this area."

"This time, we must avenge Inoue-kun."

"As long as we take these giant ships, this sea area will be our brother's in the future, even against those pirates in the south, I am not afraid."

"This battle is related to the future and life of the brothers, as long as you win, you can choose the wealth woman of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Brothers, kill!!"

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!"

The shouts shook the sky, and Inoue Ichiro was in the middle of it, his face full of shock.

At this time, Inoue Ichiro learned about Hiroki Kato's plan.

It turned out that from the very beginning, Kato Hiroki didn't plan to go head-to-head with the Ming army, after all, he knew that the Ming army's firepower was so fierce, and he had to go to the Ming army for trouble, unless he was tired of it.

Kato Hiroki wanted to take advantage of his familiarity with the terrain and take advantage of the night to launch a night attack on this group of Ming troops.

At night, it was fair to both sides, after all, there was no sunlight at night, and no matter how fierce the firepower was, it would be impossible to launch a fierce fire.

In this way, Hiroki Kato will be able to make up for the gap in firepower, and the next thing is to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

And hand-to-hand combat is the strength of the Japanese Kou.

This time, Kato Hiroki almost went out with more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers, in order to be able to annihilate this group of Ming troops.

Occupy the opposing fleet, as long as it is a Japanese coward, who looks at the warships of the Ming army does not drool.

I have to say that with or without intention, Inoue Ichiro feels that Kato Hiroki's chances of winning are still very high.

If it weren't for Inoue's previous fight with this group of Ming Army, he even felt that Kato Hiroki would definitely succeed this time.

But after Inoue Ichiro recalled the scene of the last battle with the Ming army, he couldn't help but be clouded with a haze in his heart.
