Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin quickly stepped out of the cabin and saw that the Xiaohai was surrounded by nearly fifty warships.
Warships lined up one after another, illuminating a stretch of sea.
Some nearby warships were firing rockets at the Chao Xiaohai.
A man stood on the deck of the lead warship, Yamato. When he saw Xiao Yanchu and his group come out, he raised his hand, and the archers on the ship stopped shooting.
The man shouted loudly at Xiao Haihao, "Listen up, people of Great Chu! You are surrounded. If you surrender obediently and submit to our Great Chu, we will spare your lives."
Xiao Yanchu squinted and looked over. Oh wow, an old acquaintance.
He had almost forgotten about this person, but unexpectedly, he showed up today.
He deliberately let him go before so that he could go back and report to the authorities. Now that they've met again, he won't let this person who once bullied his daughter escape.
The person who shouted was none other than Matsudaira Kiyomasa, who had served alongside Tokugi Yusei.
"Hu Qing, the bow," Xiao Yanchu said.
Hu Qing quickly handed over a bow.
Xiao Yanchu drew his bow, his eyes slightly narrowed, and the arrow sped away with the wind, the sound of the arrow piercing the air faintly audible.
On the Yamato battleship.
Seeing that the Xiaohai had not responded, Matsudaira Kiyomasa was preparing to speak again.
Pfft!
An arrow struck him squarely between the eyebrows.
Those around Matsudaira Kiyomasa saw him stare wide-eyed in disbelief, an arrow lodged in the center of his forehead, as he fell straight backward.
After shooting the arrow, Xiao Yanchu threw the bow to Hu Qing and said to Su Ruojin beside him, "Dead!"
Anyone who dares to bully Nian'er deserves to die, and Su Ruojin will not care.
The crew of the Yamato battleship were terrified by what they saw and scrambled for cover, instantly descending into chaos.
"What's the panic!" a voice suddenly rang out.
After hearing this, the people on the ship gradually calmed down.
Takeuchi Gohei stepped out of the cabin, glanced at Matsudaira Kiyomasa lying on the ground with his eyes wide open in death, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
Previously, he had led the warships in this sea area, but as soon as Matsudaira Kiyomasa arrived, he took over these warships on the orders of the shogun, completely stripping him of his command.
Moreover, Matsudaira Kiyomasa, relying on his position within the shogunate, treated Takeuchi Gohei with utter disrespect and bossiness.
Compared to Takeuchi Gohei, Matsudaira Kiyomasa spent most of his time accompanying the crown prince at the shogunate and had no experience in naval warfare, giving orders based solely on his imagination.
For example, right now, Matsudaira Kiyomasa has ordered all the ships to form a line and surround the ships of the Great Chu.
At first glance, it has an imposing presence.
However, in Takeuchi Gopei's view, it was fraught with danger.
If the people of Great Chu understood naval warfare, they only needed to focus their attack on the ship in front, setting it ablaze in a very short time.
Other ships connected to it that want to turn around and avoid it will also have their speed affected by the presence of ships all around, ultimately causing congestion.
If the fire were carried by the sea breeze, it could burn all these ships in an instant.
Takeuchi Gohei also mentioned this to Matsudaira Kiyomasa, but was scolded by Matsudaira Kiyomasa, who said that he was a coward and that with so many warships, Yamato had no reason to fear a mere ship from the Great Chu.
The ships of the Great Chu were large, but their numbers were far greater. They insisted on linking their ships together row after row to create a sense of overwhelming pressure on the Great Chu and force them to surrender.
Seeing this, Takeuchi Gohei knew he couldn't persuade Matsudaira Kiyomasa, so he stopped trying and went back to his cabin to sleep.
Takeuchi Gohei had fought against the people of Da Chu before, and he didn't think they would really surrender so easily just because they were scared.
In his view, the people of Da Chu were not to be trifled with, so it was best not to provoke them.
As expected, Matsudaira Kiyomasa lost his life as soon as he met the Chu people.
"Sir, what do we do now?" the crew member asked.
Takeuchi Gōhei looked towards the shore. "Go, pass on the message."
