Liu Haojia laughed twice and said, "Some small errors are normal. However, if it is against the era of cold weapons, this tactic is still useful. But these people don't know that this is the time when firearms reign supreme!"

After saying that, he put down the binoculars and said, "Pass on the order! The current formation of the detachment remains unchanged, and when the battle begins, it will intervene in the middle of the Shimazu family's naval forces, penetrate their formation, and halve their fleet! Then the whole team turned to the left. As for the navy on the right, it will be handed over to the maritime merchants to deal with. Tell them that they just need to hold off the Shimazu family's navy!"

After Liu Haojia gave the order, the fleet began to slowly accelerate and gradually turned into a column. The pirates also began to slowly adjust their formation, and lined up in a horizontal formation under the command of Liu Guangting. However, due to the adjustment of the formation, this horizontal column had to lag behind the column of the detachment.

Just as Liu Haojia was adjusting the formation, on the central ship, the people of the Shimazu family navy were also watching Liu Haojia's every move of the fleet.

On the open-air deck at the top of the ship, a dozen people dressed as samurai gathered, and one of them was dressed in a gorgeous costume of the world, with a pocket on his head, a knife and a ribbed at his waist. The dozen or so samurai next to him were also dressed in similar clothes, and they looked very imposing when they got together!

This person is the general sent by the Shimazu family, Hisataka Kayama. After receiving the news, the Shimazu family collected all the ships and sailors at their disposal to form a large fleet, which was more than Liu Haojia's fleet in terms of the number of ships alone. But this is already the entire sea power of the Shimazu family!

When the Shimazu family knew that the fleet of Ariake was coming, their first reaction was not fear or anger, but excitement!

In the early days of maritime trade between Wakoku and other countries, Kagoshima was the most prosperous port! However, as time went on, more and more maritime merchants came to Nagasaki to trade, and Kagoshima gradually declined!

So this time, when I heard that the Ariake fleet was coming, the entire Shimazu family felt that this was a good opportunity to revive the prestige of the Shimazu family! As long as this group of Ming fleets is defeated, everyone will know the strength of the Shimazu family, and they will all think that Kagoshima will be safer here, and maybe someone will be willing to trade here!

And they also dreamed of capturing a large number of ships and arming themselves, so as to dominate the seas. That's why they did their best to form this water army. For this reason, the Shimazu family almost swept the port and even forcibly took over many merchant ships.

When it comes to the person of Kayama Hidaka, one thing has to be mentioned, that is, he is a tough foreign expansionist of the Shimazu family! And this person is quite brainy, he didn't blindly see that the target was set on other daimyo like others, but directly pointed to the big and small Ryukyu Islands!

His aim was to control Ryukyu first, and then control the greater Ryukyu, which is Taiwan. And just a few years later, Hisataka Kayama directly led the fleet to capture the Ryukyu Islands and control the Ryukyu royal family, so that they never had the opportunity to ask the daimyo for help. This situation was maintained until the Qing Dynasty.

The current Huashan Jiugao does not know what he is about to establish in the future, of course, it is more likely that he will never have this opportunity again under Liu Haojia's intervention.

At this time, Hisataka Kayama had already put down his binoculars, and he said to the dozen or so samurai beside him, "It seems that this group of Ming people is planning to break through from our center. And the flotilla on their right looked scattered, not like a group of soldiers and horses, what was going on?"

A samurai next to him bowed down and said, "Your Excellency the General General, maybe those people are just pirates gathered by the Ming army, and they are in charge of assisting the battle."

Hisakama nodded and said, "It looks like this. Those Ming maritime merchants are completely a group of people who are hungry for profit, maybe they see that the fleet sent by the Ming Kingdom is very large, so they want to come and get a piece of the pie!"

Then another samurai said, "Your Excellency, you have a complete point! But they probably didn't think we'd be going to do our best to meet them! Those Ming people are vulnerable at sea, and when the time comes, they will cry under the sword of our Shimazu samurai!"

On the other side, a samurai said, "That's right! This time, after defeating the fleet of the Ming Kingdom, we should take advantage of the victory and pursue and take this opportunity to take the Ryukyus

！ With Ryukyu as a springboard, we can advance in the direction of the Great Ryukyus! When we master the big and small Ryukyus, the strength of our Shimazu family will skyrocket again! Your Excellency the General General's plan will be fully realized!"

Hearing this, Kayama Hisakaka nodded with satisfaction, and then said majestically, "Our samurai of the Shimazu family must have this spirit of victory! But we must be cautious when fighting! After all, Akito's fleet still looks like it's ready to fight! Now I command!"

As soon as he heard that Kayama Hisataka was about to give an order, the other samurai immediately stood and bowed down to wait for the order. I only heard Kayama Hisataka say, "Qingtian Army, He Yejun, then your fleet will move closer to the middle, especially the Ataka ship will form a zigzag with my own team. When the Ming army tries to break through in the center, we must concentrate firearms on them, stop them, and don't let them penetrate our formation!"

As soon as the words fell, two samurai bowed down and agreed loudly. Then Kayama Hisataka continued: "Half of the ships on our left flank are divided and commanded by An Hejun to flank the Ming army! The other ships are under the command of Tagawa-kun, so you just have to hold off those pirates!"

Immediately afterward, two samurai replied loudly, indicating their understanding. Then Kayama Hisakachi waved his hand and said, "When the others blocked the advance of the Ming army, they passed through the left and right flanks and disrupted their formation, and then it was time to show us the bravery of the samurai of the Shimazu family!" Capture as many ships as you can! I wish you all the best of luck!"

Then all the samurai replied in unison, "Hayi! I wish my family a long time in martial arts!"

Hisashi waved his military equipment vigorously and said, "Alright, let's get ready! The rise of the Shimazu family is a battle here!"

All the samurai agreed in unison and dispersed, carrying their boats back to their own boats, and a great battle between the two sides was about to begin.

As the fleets of both sides get closer and closer, both sides, from officers to soldiers, get nervous! Even Liu Haojia changed into armor. However, he did not put on a full suit of armor, but only a half-body armor. Because it was a rule not to wear armor in naval battles, he had to follow it as the commander of the entire fleet.
