Chapter 628 Procrastination
"General, it's not a small reluctance, you see..."

Wei Dashan turned around, bitterly showing the chaotic situation behind him.

The captives in the cabin were very well-behaved, but those Japanese pirate soldiers who had just been driven down to help paddle did not listen to him at all.

One by one is still scrambling for a safety rope with a good location and fresh air.

Zuo Mu was also speechless, and in the end he could only sigh and call for the superintendents to let them control the situation as soon as possible.

The warden drew his sword and rushed forward with a murderous look.

"The principle of proximity, those who are weak will be replaced by others. Anyone who robs and runs around will be killed."

Brush brush.

After they killed a few quarreling soldiers with their weapons, the entire nacelle gradually quieted down.

Seeing the blood all over the ground, no one dared to move.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Wei Dashan jumped out triumphantly, screaming and gesticulating in Yunchui language, "Paddle!"

squeak.

The people on the oars came back to their senses and hurriedly worked hard together.

Sancang began to rush southward.

"Very good." Zuo Mu patted Wei Dashan's shoulder with satisfaction, leaving a few supervisors staring at him, and returned to the upper floor by himself.

Say time is long, real time is short.

From Oda's order, the sound of war drums in each cabin to Sagi's control of the situation, and the battleship began to accelerate, it took only a blink of an eye.

Boom boom boom.

As the distance between the two sides got closer, Sancang was attacked more and more frequently.

upper deck.

The hull shook violently.

quack quack!
There was a crackling sound.

The submast didn't know whether it was hit by a stone bullet or broken by a crossbow arrow. It fell down with a creak, and landed heavily on the cave where Zhitian was located.

"General, it's too dangerous here. Why don't we go down to the cabin and hide."

"Bastard." Oda pulled away the guards in front of him, "Don't block the general's view."

"Go and ask what the heavy crossbowmen are doing, haven't they entered the attack range yet?"

One of the personal guards hurried out with a shield covering his head, and came back evasively after a while.

When he stood still, everyone in the cave couldn't help but tense up.

The little guard's body was covered with red and white things.

The red ones are blood, the white ones are brains, scattered everywhere, and I don't know when they were infected.

"General, the two battalion-class ships of the enemy Yongjing and Qingliu Sanyang have entered the attack range of our heavy crossbow and catapult, and the distance between the two sides is still rapidly shortening."

Warrior level?
The military division next to him shivered, and hurriedly shrank his head and ran out to observe it again.

Not long after, he ran back again, "General, we can't go any further."

Before Oda could reply, the military division raised his hand and pointed outward.

"Please look, general, Yang Miao has been prepared for a long time, and his subordinates are well-trained. Now the commander-level is leading, and the other battalion-levels are closely following and protecting each other. They are covering each other in twos or even threes. Get ready to hit."

"And what about us?"

Speaking of this, the military division spread his hands and his mouth was full of bitterness.

The closest to them was the Mako, which was a battalion-class ship like the Sancang.

It is still several feet behind, and the other friendly ships are even far behind.

As for the precious warlords, even if people in the cave stood on tiptoe and peered through the autumn water, they probably wouldn't be able to see them.

As the saying goes, if the gun hits the first bird, if the Sancang continues to advance bravely like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before the dead body will sink into the sea and become the dead warehouse.

Although they were cannon fodder, they did not die like this.

Ugh.

Oda sighed.

"I don't know the skills, it's just that the military order is like a mountain, and General Haneda's order is..."

"General," the military adviser interrupted him directly, "As the saying goes, generals are not allowed to obey the orders of their rulers outside. General Haneda ordered our Sancang to stand in front of us. This is no problem."

"But with such a large fleet, there is no reason for our battle battalion class to be awe-inspiring, at least with other friendly ships."

"Yes." The others were dissatisfied for a long time, and nodded one after another, "If you want to die together, if you want to live together, how can we rush to the front, and the others will not come up."

"General, why don't you wait for the Mako and Ono next to us. The frontal attack cannot be blocked, at least they can protect our left and right sides from attack."

"indeed."

……

Oda listened silently, and after a while he gritted his teeth.

"Change the speed, set up nets for defense, and engineers repair the ship; launch all weapons to counterattack, focusing on attacking their Warlord class. At the same time, send a semaphore to the rear to ask the situation, and everything will be discussed after the other brother ships come on board."

"Yes!"

Even if the distance between the two sides is getting closer, there is absolutely no way to stop. A warship that stops is a living target.

Therefore, the Sancang number can only be reduced from time to time, trying to avoid the artillery fire of the Yunchui people as much as possible.

Clang, clang, boom!
The sound of gongs and drums for propeller reduction and speed change followed.

Afraid that the captives would not understand, Zuo Mu quickly ran down to the nacelle to find Wei Dashan.

He pointed to the white circle on the floor, and made the gesture of abandoning his oars and stopping his hands.

"Change speed, do you understand speed change? Let some of you stop and rest where you are. The rest continue!"

Wei Dashan understood, and quickly ran back and forth in the cabin.

"Brothers, odd and even numbers take turns to rest, and everyone guarantees their physical strength."

"This wreck was badly damaged, and the Japanese warship next to it failed to keep up, so now it can only be beaten. Everyone strives to occupy the oars and is ready to jump into the sea at any time."

The captives looked at each other, and some of them sat down and rested in place.

They couldn't see the hull and upper deck, but the hull under their feet was trembling all the time, and the keel of the battleship was creaking and groaning, and they knew in their hearts that Sancang might be in a bad situation.

But in any case, as long as the luck is not too bad, such as being directly hit by the heavy crossbow at the waterline or the stored kerosene, otherwise, it will not be easy to sink a battalion class with only long-range weapons.

So most people are safe for the time being.

The news of Sancang was reported layer by layer, and it didn't take long for it to reach the rear commander.

Haneda Yangxiang scanned it expressionlessly, and handed it to the military adviser and lieutenant beside him.

"General," the military adviser pondered, "the front army can't go directly, we still have to continue to delay."

Their strength is not as good as Yang Miao's, and now the enemy is waiting for work with ease, even if all their battleships rush up, the chances of winning may not be great.

Only when the support fleet sent by Ishikawa Taki arrives, with a north-south attack, I am afraid there will be a chance of winning.

Haneda Yangxiang nodded slowly, "I think so too."

"Come here..." Just as he was about to give an order, the lieutenant quickly stood up.

"General, my subordinates dare not question your order, but I don't know if I should say something or not?"

Haneda Yangxiang was a little displeased, but seeing the deputy general's flushed face, he nodded slowly, "Let's talk."

call.

The lieutenant let out a sigh of relief, and quickly spread out the chart.

"General, as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and a good beginning is the beginning of victory."

"The military division meant that he wanted to wait for help, which is a good idea. But Yang Miao, he won't follow our wishes."

Speaking of this, the lieutenant general used a ruler to measure the distance between the two sides.

"Please look, general, the distance between us and the enemy is only this small..."

Ugh.

He sighed.

"It belongs to the saying that other people's aspirations will destroy their own power. Now the East China Sea barrier has launched an attack. With their ability, even if we let the former army form a long snake formation to try to delay time, I am afraid it will not last long."

"At that time, the enemy will fight more smoothly due to the lack of resistance troops, and the morale of the Yunchui people will also increase accordingly."

Haneda Yangxiang's expression tightened, and he quickly stared at the chart.

The right time, place and people are the three elements of war.

Now that they have no right time and place, if there is no harmony, even if Ishikawa Taki's support arrives, I am afraid that this battle will not be able to be fought.

After a while, Haneda Yangxiang nodded slowly: "What do you mean?"

Call ~
Seeing that the master listened, the deputy general couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"General, in the humble opinion of my subordinates, instead of passively fighting, it is better to let the former army resist tenaciously. Let's face it head-on."

"Yang Miao is strong, but we are not that weak, otherwise General Nejing would not have entrusted the general with an important task and sent us south."

"To put it bluntly, even if Yang Miao rushes forward, it will not be a matter of time to eat our former army. If the frontline soldiers fight bravely, they may knock out half of his teeth."

Speaking of this, the deputy general raised his head and looked far south.

In the distance, dense fireballs streaked across the sky, almost forming a bridge in the sky.

It can be seen how intensive the attacks on the East China Sea barrier are.

"General, morale goes up and down one after another. As long as you can withstand Yang Miao's first round of attack, even if the entire front army is wiped out, as long as you defeat Yun Chui's morale, it will be a big victory. Next, we must Much easier."

Otherwise, if the enemy continues to fight with momentum like a rainbow, let alone the front army, whether the Chinese army can withstand it is another matter.
