Su Wan frowned and looked at the lieutenants. They went to attack the Japanese to catch them off guard. How could the Japanese come up to them instead?
Su Wan said in a deep voice: "Can you see clearly?"
The deputy general nodded: "That's absolutely true."
"How many boats?" Su Wan frowned and asked again.
"There are many," the lieutenant said, "They should be the main fleet of the Japanese." Looking at the rows of large ships, they looked like they were about to fight to the death.
"Prince-in-law, go and have a look."
Su Wan led the generals and strode outside the cabin. Sure enough, he saw the Japanese ship. His face suddenly sank. What went wrong and why did they appear here?
Yesterday, his people came to report that everything was going according to plan and there would be no mistakes.
The Japanese Ping clan has already obeyed the puppets he arranged. As long as he does not issue orders, the Japanese fleet will just wait there, and they should now be immersed in the ecstasy of killing Anyihou.
Why?
"Prince-in-law, what should we do?"
The lieutenant asked in a low voice. They had just been discussing important military matters in the cabin. They did not expect that this gentle and gentle prince-in-law would have some insights, which they could not help but admire.
Now that the enemy is in front of us, those tactics will change accordingly. Presumably the prince-in-law will also have some ideas.
Su Wan said: "Let's see what these Japanese are going to do first." He still couldn't believe that the Japanese would not listen to his orders and directly catch up.
Unless the puppet is exposed, which is really the case, the Japanese will definitely find ways to deal with him.
At this point, we can no longer escape and must go forward. Escape will only greatly reduce the morale of the army.
Su Wan calmed down. He had already held the entire Changzhou in his hands, including the Changzhou Navy. Now he had brought all the elites of the Navy. Even if he went toe-to-toe with the Japanese, he would not lose, but the victory would not be that easy.
"Line up, prepare firearms, and prepare all warships for battle. When the Japanese ships reach the range of firearms attack, immediately attack with all your strength and do not give the Japanese any chance to breathe."
Su Wan immediately ordered to go down.
General and deputy general took orders immediately.
Su Wan held the sword at his waist. Ever since he planned Changzhou, all possible situations were within the scope of his thinking. Naturally, he thought about what to do if the plan failed and he had to face the Japanese.
He has read many military books, which should be put to use now.
The two sides fought with firearms, they brought enough cannonballs, their ships were stronger than the Japanese's, and they had more manpower than the Japanese's. This should be a victory at all.
The deputy general next to him had a confident look on his face: "Don't worry, Prince Consort, the French cannons are not as good as our general. Those barbarian cannons are just decorations. Just watch, we will repel them soon."
Su Wan quickly regretted it. He should have tried the Fo Lang machine cannon before that, at least to understand how far it could hit, so that he would not have listened to the deputy general's words and be so careless and careless.
Zhou's general did not fire a few cannons before the warship was hit by a Fo Lang machine. Then the soldiers on the warship scrambled to escape. Everything happened in front of Su Wan's eyes.
Su Wan had previously felt that the Changzhou General Soldier was very considerate. If the General Soldier had not been aware of current affairs, how could he have done so smoothly?
An Yihou was killed in battle, which was equivalent to removing the only nail in his heart.
But now he began to understand why the late emperor cherished those generals who had made great military exploits in the court so much. An Yihou and hundreds of people had sustained the Japanese war for a long time, but they were defeated in the blink of an eye.
When he returns victorious this time, he will remove the useless Changzhou General Soldier from his post and investigate.
There were wailings everywhere, the ships in front were defeated and returned, and no warship dared to fight again.
"Order them to fight."
Under the command of Su Wan, three more warships met the Japanese together. However, this time they could not escape the result just now. The more panicked the navy on the ship became, the more empty the shells were. The three ships were unable to deal with one of the Japanese.
Warship.
Ping Shizhang saw the banner with the word "Su" in the distance, and his expression was extremely ferocious. This was the Prince Consort of Princess Zhou. If they hadn't discovered the secret of the White Dragon King, they would have been taken for granted by this Prince Consort.
It’s lunch.
"Warriors, we want to take revenge. We will make the people of Zhou tremble when they see us in the future. We will shoot down all the warships of Zhou Dynasty. If some people jump off the ship and escape, we will use the Cangshan boat to intercept and kill them all."
"Run away!"
Seeing the Japanese attacking the boat, the Changzhou navy rushed to put down the boat and escape. However, as soon as they got on the boat, several frogmen worked together to overturn the boat, and what followed was a massacre in the sea.
Those officers and soldiers who had been tired for a long time on weekdays could not hold on for long before their throats were cut.
If they continue fighting like this, they will only lose worse, and the Japanese are slowly surrounding them.
"Prince-in-law, let's retreat first. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid it will be too late." The deputy general looked panicked. He didn't expect the Japanese to be so powerful.
We can't delay any longer. The most important thing is to save our lives.
Seeing that there was no hope of victory, Su Wan saw that there was no point in persisting: "Withdraw first and then worry about it."
That's right. The deputy general breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the soldiers: "Leave a few ships to stop the Japanese, and the remaining people will protect the prince-in-law and leave."
Just as Su Wan was about to return to the cabin, he heard a sound above his head.
"Be careful, Prince Consort." The lieutenant stepped forward and threw Su Wan to the ground, causing a wave of projectiles to hit the big ship.
"It's a Japanese ship approaching, and the cannons in their hands..." Before the deputy general could finish speaking, the cannonballs fell in front of the big ship.
There was a huge splash with a "boom" sound.
The lieutenant helped Su Wan up and said, "The Japanese are crazy, please leave quickly!"
"Japanese people are on board." Someone shouted again.
I don't know when the Japanese frogmen quietly came to the big ship. They took advantage of the gunfire and boarded the ship with the help of the grappling hooks on their bodies.
The big ship was immediately filled with the sounds of fighting.
"Prince-in-law, let's board the boat quietly and leave!"
Su Wan watched as the people around him were killed by the Japanese. The Japanese were like evil spirits crawling out of hell. Even though their arms were cut off, they still chased after them.
Su Wan had never learned boxing, and the long sword in his hand was just a decoration and could easily be picked off by the Japanese.
A small boat was put into the sea, and the lieutenant helped the embarrassed Su Wan onto the boat. The boat rowed forward slowly. Su Wan looked at Zhou's fleet, and in the blink of an eye, he was buried there.
"Don't worry, Prince Consort, they will come to pick us up when they get rid of the Japanese, and we will be able to get on the big ship and leave soon."
The boat was swaying on the sea, as if a big wave would overturn them.
Escape now is just a stopgap measure, they will come back again, Su Wan tightened his grip to prevent himself from panicking.
The boat rowed farther and farther, but the fleet in the distance did not catch up.
Su Wan was just about to check it out.
"Woooooo" the horn sound came from the Dazhou ship.
Immediately afterwards, the big flag with the word "Su" written on it fell, and a new flag was raised. The flag fluttered in the wind, and the big word "Song" was particularly dazzling.
I could vaguely hear someone shouting on the boat.
Because of the distance, Su Wan couldn't hear clearly. He turned to look at the lieutenant: "What are they talking about?"
The lieutenant swallowed for a long time before saying in a trembling voice: "They said that Mr. Song has an order that those who die in battle will be compensated and those who escape will be killed. Prince Consort, the fleet... has been taken over by Mr. Song of the Quanzhou Navy. We... we should now
what to do?"
As soon as the deputy general finished speaking, he saw two small boats chasing them.
"It's the Japanese," the lieutenant general panicked, "the Japanese are chasing us."
