Chapter 911 The Battle of Tsushima Sea (11)

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

The sea of ​​hell and flames completely broke the will of the Dongying people. Mitsuhisa Shimadzu was still alive, but Hidemune Date was about to go crazy.

He watched helplessly as his fleet was engulfed in flames.

The little surname Sheng Tian who was sent out by him and whom he favored the most, who was obedient to him between the beds and made him ecstasy, is now covered in flames, writhing desperately and staggering back and forth on the deck.Immediately, he swayed and fell backwards into the sea.

The tumbling sea water was wrapped in a large group of flames floating around, like the fire of hell.

"Date-kun, you can't withdraw the army, success or failure depends on it."

Although Mitsuhisa Shimadzu was also cold all over his body, the Satsuma clan had already devoted all their strength to this battle and could not afford to fail.

This is his first battle back to the Satsuma domain. If it ends in failure, it will be a huge blow to his leadership of the Satsuma domain.

Date Xiuzong didn't care what he thought.

"Shimadzu-kun, this is the end of the matter, if the fight continues, the entire army will be wiped out."

"No. I have other preparations. Wait a little longer. The victory must belong to us."

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu tugged on his sleeve, trying to persuade him to stay.

On the frontal battlefield, the first column fired all the rockets and had no time to reload the second round, and continued to leave the battlefield southwestward.

Because the command center did not give an order to retreat, the chaos of the Japanese fleet gave the second column the opportunity to do the same.

Zhang Keda was not polite, and fired up all the rockets as soon as they met.

This time the unlucky one was the right-wing Choshu Domain.

The Changzhou Domain was very brave in fighting on land, and it was the force that Toyotomi Hideyoshi relied on the most back then, but it was much weaker when it came to sea.

For this expedition, the Changzhou Fan was equivalent to taking out all their wealth.

As a result, under the rocket attack of the second column, two thirds were lost on the spot.

How can the boat that is dragged behind dare to go forward?He turned around desperately, no longer caring about cooperating with other fleets.

Mitsuhiro Mori didn't even say hello, and directly led the remaining boats all the way back to the mainland.

He didn't want to fight such a battle.

The situation deteriorated further.

"Shimadzu-kun, can't you make a decision yet?"

Seeing Mo Liguang running away, Date Xiuzong almost went crazy.He doesn't want to die here, he has to go back to inherit the family business.

"Wait a little longer, my surprise soldiers will arrive soon."

Before Mitsuhisa Shimadzu finished speaking, the sentinel suddenly shouted: "There are ships coming from the south, a large number of ships!"

When Shimadzu Mitsuhisa heard it, he couldn't help laughing.

"My surprise soldiers have arrived, it's time for us to counterattack."

It's a pity he laughed too early.

The cheers of the sentries quickly turned to exclamations.

"Enemy ship! Here comes the enemy ship! Our flank is under attack."

On the sea to the south, a black spot gradually turned into a group of black spots, and then turned into overwhelming black.

Countless Cangshan boats and centipede boats are rushing towards the direction of the Dongying fleet.

On the Cangshan boat at the forefront, a swarthy guy was standing at the highest point of the mast, with a wanton smile, like a devil returning from hell.

"Rush forward and eliminate these Japanese pirates, leaving no one behind."

Shang Kexi, who was officially sent by Zuo Hua to intercept the Dongying Raiders.

Three hours ago.

"Damn it, other people are playing lively over there, are we exiled?"

After receiving the order, Shang Kexi reluctantly gathered the scouting fleet all the way south, and began to search for the location of the Japanese Raiders.

It's just that the sea is vast, where can I find it for a moment?
When he thought of the fierce fighting on the frontal battlefield, and the others were making meritorious deeds, while he was blowing cold wind far away from the battlefield, he felt indignant.

Fortunately, he still remembered his duties, and the action did not delay.

Dozens of ships spread out in all directions, covering the sea to the south.

But where is the surprise fleet of the Dongying people?
Just when Shang Kexi wondered whether the Dongpu people had any surprise soldiers, the sentries on a centipede boat in the front right suddenly waved colorful flags violently.

"Spot the enemy fleet!"

The military situation quickly spread in the fleet, and everyone couldn't help but get nervous.

Shang Kexi jumped up, picked up the binoculars and looked towards the south.

There is a small island lying across the sea, slightly blocking the view.

Then he saw an Anzhai boat appearing from the back of the island, followed by the second ship, and the third ship...

By the end, there were too many to count.It is estimated that there are at least several hundred ships.

"Damn it, these Japanese pirates are really cunning. Fortunately, the minister has a clever plan, otherwise we will be in danger in this battle."

The people below are not so easy.

"Squadron leader, there are so many enemies, how do we fight?"

Shang Kexi's face was full of ruthlessness, without any fear.

"How else can we fight? Of course, go up. Tell the ships that we will never retreat. Behind us is the main force. We can't let a Japanese ship pass, even if we die."

The order to fight to the death was issued from his flagship, and all the warships of the Xia army quickly raised the red flags full of sun and moon.

This is not only the national flag of Xia, but once it is raised, it means that it will not give an inch.

Although there are only more than [-] small warships, the enemy on the opposite side is more than six times that of our side, and the warships are even bigger.However, these soldiers of the Xia State knew their responsibilities were heavy, and they had already decided to protect the flanks with all their might.

The leader of this Japanese army was Nakajimazu Jiuqing, the elder of the Satsuma clan.

As Shimadzu Tadahiro's most trusted person, and also the most experienced general of the Satsuma domain, Shimadzu Jiuqing can be described as scheming.

The surprise soldiers he led did not act hastily, but drew a big circle on the sea.

Even though he knew that doing so would delay the time to enter the battlefield, but in order to ensure suddenness, Shimazu Hisaki ignored everyone's opposition and still made such a choice.

This strange soldier even went around to the direction of Jeju Island, intending to raid the back route of the Xia Kingdom Navy from the west.

However, when he bypassed the island, he saw the Xia Guo fleet intercepted in front of him, and Shimadzu Jiuqing was shocked.

"These Xia people are so careful, it wasted my calculations."

"Boss, how do we deal with it?"

Hisashi Shimadzu had already counted the number of enemies in front of him, and became confident again.

"Rush forward, defeat this group of enemies first, and then go to reinforce the feudal lord."

The Dongpu army didn't think that the eighty or so small boats could stop them, so they immediately spread out their formation and pressed towards Shang Kexi's troops.

Shang Kexi is facing enormous pressure at this time.

This is different from the frontal battlefield. You can keep the distance from the Japanese fleet by rotating, and bully the enemy with the super long artillery range.

What Shang Kexi wants to do is to resolutely block, there is no way to retreat, let alone avoid it.

No matter how many enemies there are, they can only fight head-on.

At this time, any tricks are useless.Even if you want to command, you can't do it.

At the critical juncture, Shang Kexi did not panic.

He personally ran to the artillery, staring at the enemy ship that was getting closer.

Up to now, weapons are their biggest reliance.
