Having learned from his previous experience, Takeuchi Gohei was unwilling to confront the Great Chu people.
He always felt that the people of Great Chu had not yet displayed their true strength in the last battle.
He has been observing the ships of the Great Chu every day from the Yamato ship. Although he does not build ships, he has always been with ships and has a deep understanding of their structure.
Every time Takeuchi Gohei saw those black holes on the hull of the Great Chu Xiaohai, he felt a little scared.
His intuition told him that those black holes seemed to harbor some terrifying monster, and once the monster was released, they would be completely unable to withstand it.
Fortunately, the people of Da Chu never caused them any trouble during this time, and the two sides remained at peace.
Until Matsudaira Kiyomasa arrived.
Hojo Rin, who was leading the team on the shore, soon received the news that Matsudaira Kiyomasa was dead.
One arrow, and he's dead!
Hojo Rin's pupils contracted slightly. Well done, these people from Chu!
"Attack! Leave the Prince of Great Chu, the Princess Consort, and the County Princess alive; kill everyone else without mercy!"
At Hojo Rin's command, the Yamato soldiers on the shore began shouting "Kill!" and charged toward the Xiaohai.
Seeing this, Takeuchi Gohei knew that an attack had been launched, and he could only cooperate, waving his hand and shouting, "Release!"
Arrows, both burning and unburnt, began to rain down on the Xiaohai.
Even at night, you could see a dense array of arrows obscuring the firelight.
Su Ruojin helped Su Muyao back to the cabin to stay with Nian'er, leaving everything to Xiao Yanchu. With him there, she had nothing to panic about.
"Your Highness?" Su Ziyang waved away the incoming rocket and looked at Xiao Yanchu with a questioning gaze.
Xiao Yanchu put his hands behind his back and said, "Fire."
"yes!"
Load the cannon, ignite it, and fire.
With a tremendous roar, not just one of Yamato's warships, but many were destroyed simultaneously and burst into flames instantly.
As the sea breeze blew in, just as Takeuchi Gohei had predicted, the fire quickly spread to the other ships.
Takeuchi Gohei and Hojo Rin were both stunned.
What's this?
Why can something thrown out destroy a ship?
Takeuchi Gohei didn't have time to think too much. Relying on his years of combat experience, he shouted, "Quick, retreat! Retreat!"
He didn't know what this thing was from Da Chu, but he knew that it existed. In front of Da Chu's Xiao Hai, their ships were like ants, easily crushed!
This thing has a range; only by moving away from its range can the safety of the ship be guaranteed.
All the warships received orders to retreat, but with all the ships lined up one after another in several rows, it was no easy task to retreat immediately.
Before the ships behind could make room, new cannons arrived again.
"Boom!"
With a tremendous roar, another ship was destroyed, and the fire at sea spread even more intensely.
The crew of the Yamato were no longer concerned with attacking the Xiaohai; they only wanted to turn the ship around and escape.
Some of the crew members, seeing this, knew the ship was doomed and jumped into the sea to swim towards the shore.
When someone takes the lead, others will follow.
Soon, all the crew members on the front row of ships jumped into the sea, and no one cared about the warships anymore.
The fire raged on and on, and the ships were in complete chaos. Takeuchi Gohei knew that all was lost, so he turned around and jumped into the sea.
However, Hojo Rin did not order his soldiers to retreat. He discovered that the bow of the Xiaohai was facing the shore, while the hull was facing the Yamato fleet.
The Xiaohai only has black holes on its side hull, which can emit that strange explosive substance; the bow clearly doesn't have them, so his men can avoid it by attacking from the bow.
Soon, Hojo Rin realized just how wrong she had been.
