The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

In panic, before Fujiwara Noriaki and Inoue Yan could give the next order, the Yan army had already advanced rapidly. The tragic situation on the first line of defense caused the Japanese pirates on the back line of defense to collapse.

When they saw the Yan army rushing towards them, they no longer had the courage to shoot arrows. The advance in four directions was extremely fast, and all the Japanese pirates on the defense line began to retreat.

Some fearless people wanted to rush over, but were easily shot and killed by the Yan army. They were like a steel torrent, advancing all the way. All the Japanese pirates began to flee in all directions, and they could not organize an effective counterattack.

Jiang Fan issued an order that any Japanese pirates encountered should be killed without leaving a single one. After these Japanese pirates came to China, they committed numerous crimes, so there was no need to capture them.

At this time, Jiang Fan was standing quietly outside the side of the main ship, watching the battle on the island ahead. He was very calm. The result was the same as he expected, there was nothing to worry about.

Seeing this scene, brother and sister Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun swallowed unconsciously, their eyes filled with shock. If it were them, the Chongming thieves would have been blocked at the first line of defense, and with heavy losses, they might not be able to attack.

But when it came to Jiang Fan, the army under his command was simply a killing machine, pushing forward all the way, and no enemy could stop them.

Fujiwara no Kiyomi and Inoue Yan came to their senses, looked at everything in horror, and quickly fled to the mountain. His idea now was to see if he could take the opportunity to escape from the back mountain.

Or they could find a place to hide. After all, although Utuo Island is an island, it is not small. Even if they want to search it, it will take a while to finish.

They were still hoping that Oda Nobuo would bring people to support them. This was their only hope.

Just when they were escaping upstream for a short distance, they suddenly saw countless small black dots appearing on the sea surface. Seeing those small black dots approaching little by little, they looked at each other with their eyes full of surprise.

That is... the supporting warships are coming. A look of ecstasy surged on the two men's faces. Judging from the scale of those black shadows, there are at least twice as many as the Yan army's warships.

With so many warships, even if they collided with each other, they would be able to destroy the Yan army's warships. As long as they found an opportunity to get close to the Yan army's warships, they would have a chance of winning.

After coming to their senses, Fujiwara no Norinaka and Inoue Yan quickly ordered their subordinates to hold out until reinforcements arrived, no matter what.

The two of them did not flee. If they fled at this time, the battle line here would probably collapse completely. As long as they held their position, they still had a chance.

At the same time, just as the Japanese pirates retreated to the fourth line of defense and held on, the Yan army's offensive was blocked. The enemy leaned against the stone giant trees and other shelters, and stones fell from above from time to time.

Sometimes they would throw stones down. Although they were hiding behind cover and their shots were not accurate, they still injured the soldiers of the Yan army.

Fortunately, these things did not cause greater harm to the Yan army soldiers, but some people were unable to dodge and were injured by the stones.

However, due to the terrain, the offensive was hindered. If they wanted to attack, they had to eliminate the enemy behind the cover.

Seeing this scene, Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun became a little anxious. At the same time, they also heard their subordinates reporting that reinforcements from the Japanese pirates had arrived, with at least two hundred warships, possibly more.

The battle on the island had not made any progress, and there were enemies behind him. He didn't know whether he should call back the army attacking the island, or go to meet the enemy himself.

According to the two men's idea, they were ready to meet the enemy. If the battle situation here was not good, they would let the army on the island drive the Japanese pirates' warships away.

But just as they were worried, they saw that someone from the Yan army had brought in a mountain cannon. In front of the two siblings' astonished eyes, countless flames shot out from the mountain cannon and then landed behind the bunker.

The Japanese pirates hiding behind the bunkers were blown to pieces and screamed. Countless artillery fire covered the bunkers, and after a round of bombardment, the defense line completely collapsed.

The Yan army took this opportunity to rush forward, and the Japanese pirates who escaped were shot dead by rifle fire. Not only one battle line, but also the other three battle lines rushed forward.

At the same time, the original four encirclement and suppression lines were divided into eight, almost covering one side of the island. Under the carpet-style search, the Japanese pirates had no chance to escape!

Seeing this, the Lu brothers and sisters relaxed their expressions. Lu Wentian came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Fan and said, "Your Highness, the enemy reinforcements are coming... I request your order to go into battle!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan nodded and waved to the two siblings. The two siblings had the talent to be leaders. Since he already understood their talents, of course he was ready to let them perform.

The two siblings immediately showed joy on their faces, and they immediately commanded the warship to leave the dock and head towards the enemy opposite.

More than a hundred warships were dispatched, with 26 warships in the front and the rest being the warships of the Chongming pirates. Their warships had been modified and were no slower than the giant ships.

The speed of small and medium-sized warships is relatively slow, but for fighting on the sea outside the island, this speed is actually enough.

On the island, Fujiwara no Norinaka and Inoue Yan saw this scene and a look of joy appeared on their faces. A big battle was finally going to happen. Although the warships of the Yan army were very powerful, he did not believe that the reinforcements could not defeat them with so many warships!

However, they were not in the mood to care about the battle at sea at this moment. The carpet attack from eight directions had compressed their defense line. After seeing the terror of the Yan army, everyone had no intention of fighting anymore.

After all, they died without even meeting the Yan army. Who could bear such psychological pressure? They wished they could fly away from Wutuo Island at this moment.

No one knew when it started, but under the attack from eight directions, the Japanese pirates' troops scattered across the defense lines began to collapse across the board, and they desperately fled to the mountains, trying to reach the top of the mountain and escape in another direction!

However, they no longer had their warships, so even if they fled in another direction, they would still be dead if the Yan army caught up with them.

Fujiwara no Norinaka was so angry that he was shaking all over as he watched his subordinates being defeated on all fronts. He and Inoue Yan killed several fleeing subordinates, but they still could not stop them from escaping.

There were even some angry ones who rose up to resist when they were about to kill. Several of Fujiwara no Norinaka and Inoue Yan's personal guards were killed. Even so, the two men could not kill more people to stabilize the morale of the army even if they wanted to.

They could only follow the crowd and flee towards the top of the mountain. It was not that they did not want to resist, but if they did not flee, they would be shot to death by the Yan army.

Just as they were fleeing to the top of the mountain, Fujiwara Noriha and Inoue Yan saw that the two sides on the sea were getting closer and closer, and a big battle was about to break out.
