Yamamoto wanted to escape, but how could Gong Yu follow his wishes?
Gong Yu also randomly gave orders to continue to let his own fleet narrow the encirclement. On the one hand, he must block the entire Japanese fleet inside, and on the other hand, he wanted his own artillery to try its best to reach inside.
…
The entire army broke through, and at this moment, Yamamoto's frigate also started moving.
Sakura on the side reminded: "Master, Yamamoto is about to break out. The situation doesn't seem very optimistic. I'm afraid we should make preparations early."
Qianye laughed and said, "I was watching the fun and even killed myself. Don't you think I'm too unlucky?"
Xiaoying said: "What are you talking about, Pavilion Master? You are a lucky person, and I will protect you."
Chiba smiled bitterly: "You protect me? What's the point of you protecting me?"
"This is a vast ocean. Can I still ride you back?"
After hearing this, Xiaoying laughed heartlessly: "Master, I really want you to ride me back, but I'm afraid that while riding, you will sink to the bottom with me."
After hearing this heartless laughter, Qianye could only give her a fierce look: "Useless thing, what's so funny?"
"We are Yamamoto's escort ship. Even if he has ordered the entire fleet to break out, we still have to protect him."
The smile on Sakura's face disappeared in an instant: "I'm really damned. Why did I get on this ship? Since it's a frigate, it's hard to abandon Yamamoto's flagship."
"What should we do? Pavilion Master, why don't you reveal your identity and let our ship just break through, and don't worry about Yamamoto."
"A waste like him deserves no death."
Chiba was speechless: "The battle has come to this point, what's the point of revealing your identity? Do you really think that by revealing your identity, you can force the commander of this frigate to do something?"
"Some people don't want to live, but no one is not afraid of death. Even if we do nothing, the frigate under our feet will still fight to the death to break out."
"Whether we can survive depends not on what our people do, but on what the people on the Ming fleet do."
After hearing this, Xiaoying was speechless. It was indeed true. What they needed to consider now was whether there would be any mistakes on the side of the Ming Navy, which would give them a chance to escape.
…
Looking at the Ming Navy, under Gong Yu's command, the encirclement of the Japanese fleet was getting smaller and smaller. The Japanese warships that wanted to turn around and break out were either blocked by the wreckage of their own bombed warships or attacked by the cannonballs in the sky.
Although it was dark at this moment, the Ming Navy obviously knew that this would be a critical moment for whether they could capture the entire Japanese fleet, so they did not hesitate to use artillery shells. Even though it was dark, most of the Japanese warships were concentrated together. After a round of artillery fire, the hit rate was quite high, and the Japanese fleet was suppressed for a while and could not get out.
Gradually, after an unknown amount of time, the Japanese fleet saw that they had no desire to escape anymore, but at this moment a small boat came to the Ming Navy, under the treasure ship: "Marshal".
Gong Yu felt very happy to hear the title of marshal. Although her position as a marshal was not as important as Zhao Min's, she was still a marshal with absolute power.
She stood inside the deck railing, looked down, and asked loudly, "What's going on?"
The man on the small boat replied loudly: "A Japanese fleet is rushing here to support. General Yin has led ten warships to resist them, but I am afraid that we can't stop them all. I hope the Marshal can make a decision soon."
…
It turned out that the fifty warships reserved by Yamamoto were the key to turning the tide after being at a disadvantage on the battlefield.
The fifty reserved warships, seeing that their own team had suffered such a great loss, naturally wanted to find a way to rescue them, so they rushed forward. However, Yamamoto had a backup plan, and Gong Yu must have one too. Gong Yu's backup plan was the ten warships that had been reserved in advance, and the commander of those ten warships was Yin Yewang.
Gong Yu knew that Yin Yewang was an old subordinate of Zhang Wuji. He was brave and loyal. Even if Zhang Wuji wanted his life, he would sacrifice himself without hesitation.
However, what about courage? What about loyalty? This is the sea, not land. Although we can use more than 70 warships to surround the Japanese warships of more than 200, it also requires time and planning. And Yin Yewang's 10 warships to resist the Japanese warships of 50, I am afraid it is really not enough.
Gong Yu took a deep breath and said, "I understand. Brother, please come up and rest first."
On the treasure ship, everyone was silent, they were all waiting for Gong Yu's decision.
However, there was a slight panic on Zhu'er's face. After all, Yin Yewang was also his father. Although he had been a little cruel to his father in the past, so many years had passed and those things had long faded. At home, he had been wholeheartedly working for Zhang Wuji for so many years. Zhu'er had seen it all, so when the time came, she still couldn't hide her panic.
After hesitating for a moment, Gong Yu decided to mobilize three warships from his side and Zhang Dingbian's side respectively. King Yin Ye must be rescued at all costs. Maybe it cannot be called a rescue, but at least he must be given the strength to deal with the fifty Japanese warships.
After issuing the military order, Gong Yu asked a soldier on the treasure ship to go with her for support. Her purpose was to tell King Yin Ye that they had to hold out until dawn tomorrow no matter what. In one night, Gong Yu was confident that she could get things done here. As long as she got things done here, she would be able to mobilize more warships to wipe out the last of the Japanese's water force.
After hearing about Gong Yu's general, Zhu'er also breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy to make the situation like this, and Gong Yu had tried his best. If her father couldn't even delay it until tomorrow morning, then he deserved to die.
…
Let’s not talk about how King Yin Ye is fighting desperately, let’s just talk about the main battlefield. Although the Ming Navy has few ships, and after three warships were withdrawn from each side, there may be loopholes in the encirclement of the Japanese, but in the final analysis, the situation on the main battlefield has not changed much, and the Ming Navy still has an absolute advantage.
…
Looking at Qianye, she was also panicking when she saw that her own fleet could not break out. She was just there to watch the fun, and it would be too unfair if she lost her life like this.
