The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 1597: Surrounded on Three Sides

The favorable wind did bring great convenience to the enemy.

As the enemy warships were moving very fast, their artillery hit rate was also decreasing rapidly.

Fortunately, the enemy warships were relatively close, and the shells aimed at one warship often hit another warship.

Zhao Liuliang observed the battle situation with his clairvoyance, but shook his head secretly in his heart.

Although they had practiced many times, there were not enough artillery shells for them to train with, so the soldiers' accuracy was still a little lacking.

Although Yun Zheng had simply taught them how to calculate the trajectory, even he didn't understand it, let alone these soldiers.

They are now relying entirely on their feelings and a little luck to carry out their bombardment.

Fortunately, the enemy has not realized that their warships are too close, otherwise the hit rate will be even lower.

After this battle, many people need to be retrained.

Including himself!

"Boom boom..."

The sound of cannons and explosions continued.

The two enemy warships were unlucky and were directly ignited by the shells where the incendiary canisters were piled, and the entire warship was engulfed in flames.

"what……"

"Help!"

"Jump! Jump off the boat..."

The soldiers on the warships screamed and jumped into the sea.

As for whether one can survive by jumping into the sea, no one cares.

If you jump down, there is still a chance of survival.

But if you don't jump off the boat now, you will be burned to death.

As the bombardment continued, warships from the other two directions also began to close in.

At this moment, Yuan Qianxiu finally realized that they had been fooled.

That was a flaw that the enemy deliberately gave them, waiting for them to launch a surprise attack.

However, Yuan Qianxiu had no time to regret now.

"Rush over!"

"Push it to me!"

"Crash into it!"

Yuan Qianxiu stood on the deck of the warship and roared loudly.

Now they are in a difficult situation.

It was too late to retreat, so they could only rely on the convenience of the tailwind to forcibly tear a hole in the enemy's army.

Seeing the enemy's warships ramming towards them, the whale-tooth ships and ramming boats in the team immediately rammed them head-on.

"Crash it over!"

"Kill these sons of bitches!"

"Archers prepare!"

The captain of the Daqian warship roared loudly, ready to die together with the enemy.

The purpose of these rams and whale-tooth ships is to protect the main warships.

They were deliberately sunk, but the main warships could not be sunk.

"Oh!"

Finally, the two warships collided heavily.

Relying on its speed advantage, the warship of the Yu Kingdom directly smashed a ramming ship into pieces.

However, the warship of the Yu Kingdom did not gain much advantage. It was also seriously damaged in the collision, and water began to seep into the bottom of the warship.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"boom……"

The sounds of warships colliding and artillery roaring continued to ring out.

Finally, Yuan Qianxiu led his troops to open a passage before the other two groups of troops came to attack.

Yuan Qianxiu did not hesitate at all and ordered his men to wave the flags and let the remaining warships follow them.

The warship with the wind ran very fast, quickly escaped from the battlefield through the torn hole, and moved quickly to the south.

Only after he had run for some distance did Yuan Qianxiu dare to look back.

Looking at the scattered warships behind him, Yuan Qianxiu felt like crying but had no tears.

Eighty warships!

In just a short while, only thirty or forty warships were left.

This time, they completely lost the strength to confront the Daqian Navy head-on.

"Quick, catch up!"

On the command ship, Takeshi Sanada urged anxiously, but was stopped by Zhao Liuliang.

"We can't catch up with them now!"

Zhao Liuliang shook his head and said, "The enemy may have some traps waiting for us. We should stick to the original plan and block Changyu's seaport!"

Their fleet still has so many warships, and it would be unwise to go around in circles on the sea with such a small number of enemy forces.

Sanada Takeshi thought for a moment and nodded slightly...

……

Susa Castle.

In the past two days, bad news has been reaching Minamoto Nagamasa one after another.

His method of mobilizing all the people did not have much effect.

Although it is said that there will always be brave men when there is a big reward, the fighting ability of those people is too poor.

Most people don't even have the most basic practice.

Even if there are a few people who have some martial arts skills, those skills will not be of much use when facing thousands of enemy troops.

However, these bad news of losing the city were nothing to Minamoto Nagamasa.

He was mentally prepared for this when he transferred all his main forces to Susa Castle.

He never thought that he could defend the city with those cannon fodder.

He wanted to use those people to consume the enemy's manpower.

However, when he learned that it was Tanaka Nobuyuki who led his former soldiers to attack the city, he finally became angry.

He wants to consume Daqian’s manpower!

As a result, the fighting is between the people of Yu Country and themselves?

On the contrary, it seems that Yun Zheng is consuming the manpower of Yu Country?

What made him even more angry was that, according to the information he received, Tanaka Nobuyuki was just an unknown pawn under Takeshi Sanada!

He completely destroyed Takeshi Sanada's power. I had never heard of this person before!

Even Takeshi Sanada was defeated by him, so how could an unknown person like Tanaka Nobuyuki dare to go head-on with him?

At this moment, he finally understood why his previous plan to lure the enemy navy to Turtle Island had failed!

It's people like Tanaka Nobuyuki who are acting as Yun Zheng's lackeys!

Maybe even Takeshi Sanada is among them!

This group of people were once beaten by him and fled everywhere on the sea. They are very familiar with the situation in the waters around Yu Kingdom.

They must have reminded Yun Zheng!

Otherwise, it is impossible for the Daqian navy that came from afar to be so familiar with the surrounding waters!

Traitor!

These damn traitors!

Minamoto Nagamasa kept roaring and cursing in his heart.

Just as Minamoto Nagamasa was furious, Yaliang walked in quickly, "Sir, I just received news that Tanaka Nobuyuki has led his troops to capture Xian Gu Castle!"

"what?"

Minamoto Nagamasa was already angry, and when he heard the news, he was like a dynamite that had exploded, roaring angrily: "Waste! All of them are waste! What's the point of my Yu country raising these wastes?"

How long has it been and another city has been lost?

This is the fourth city captured by Tanaka Nobuyuki and his troops!

Moreover, Xian Gu City is less than ninety miles away from Susa Castle!

With Senko Castle falling into the hands of Tanaka Nobuyuki, the barrier to the north of Susa Castle has completely disappeared.

Tanaka Nobuyuki can even lead his troops to attack Susa Castle directly!

"Report..."

At this moment, a guard rushed in, "Sir, there is an urgent report from the navy!"

Urgent report from the navy?

Hearing these four words, Minamoto Nagamasa's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Could it be that their navy was found by the enemy?

Minamoto Nagamasa suppressed his panic and quickly took the urgent report.

When he saw the heart of the letter, his expression became even uglier.

The enemy navy intends to land from the west of Changyu!

"Report..."

Before Minamoto Nagamasa could recover from the news, another guard ran in quickly, "Report to the lord, Ishigaki Castle has been attacked fiercely by the enemy and has fallen..."

what?

Upon hearing the news, Minamoto Nagamasa's body shook and he almost fell to the ground.

Ishigaki Castle is the barrier to the east of Susa Castle!

That is also a city with complete fortifications!

Why did it suddenly fall?

In the west, the Daqian navy is preparing to land.

In the north, there is the traitor Tanaka Nobuyuki.

Ishigaki Castle in the east also fell into the hands of the enemy!

They surrounded the north from three sides...
