The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

At this moment, he was extremely nervous. He hoped that the reinforcements would not be frightened by the terrifying weapons on the Yan army's warships. If so, even if there were more than 200 warships, the only outcome would be defeat.

At the same time, at the 260 warships formed by the Japanese pirates and the two bandits, the leaders of the two bandits and Oda Nobuo were gathering on one of the main ships.

They were located in the center, with warships on both sides. Oda Nobuo looked at the Yan army warships in front of him and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He didn't expect that when he was looking for reinforcements, the Yan army happened to attack the island, which saved him the trouble of looking for the Yan army.

Although the warships of the Yan army were terrifyingly powerful, they had more than twice as many warships as the enemy. He did not believe that the enemy's terrifying weapons were endless. Even if he had to fight to the death, he would destroy the warships of the Yan army.

"You two, give the order to attack. I have said that their warships are very powerful. If you are afraid and let your warships escape, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Also, you must know that if we cannot destroy them in this battle, we will no longer have a foothold on the sea. Even if we have to use up all our warships, we must destroy them!"

Oda Nobuo looked at the leaders of the two bandits and said in a cold voice.

He held the leaders of the two bandits on his main ship because he was afraid that the two guys would not try their best. When they came, he had already explained that the Yan army's warships were terrifying. Let them fight with all their strength.

At first, the two bandits did not think that what Oda Nobuo said was true. They just thought that Oda Nobuo was trying to boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige. The two bandit leaders were somewhat disdainful at the time.

In other words, they had been operating in the waters below Wucheng and were unaware of the strength of the Yan Army's navy. In addition, they had not received any news, so they had no knowledge of it.

In order to curry favor with Oda Nobuo, the two bandit leaders expressed their loyalty, saying that they were not afraid of the Yan army's warships and would definitely help the Japanese pirates with all their strength.

Therefore, they followed Oda Nobuo onto the warship without any precautions. Now, hearing Oda Nobuo's serious expression, the two bandit leaders felt a little uneasy.

"General, rest assured. Since the Yan army has already built up its naval power, it must be preparing to attack us. If we want to survive at sea, we must not let the Yan army's naval power survive."

"That's right. Otherwise, if we let them continue to develop, we will really have no place to stand on the sea. No matter what, we will do our best."

The two bandits quickly expressed their loyalty. They had surrendered to the Japanese pirates and of course did not dare to raise any objection.

Upon hearing this, Oda Nobuo nodded, very satisfied.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides was less than ten miles, and in the blink of an eye, the cannons on the Yan army warships began to fire. Bang bang...

As the gunfire sounded, several of the warships of the two pirates who were in the front were immediately damaged. They were all small warships, and their speed was faster than that of the large ships, so they rushed to the front.

However, they also encountered special attention from the Yan army's warships. Before they could react, three warships were sunk by artillery fire.

Seeing this scene, the two bandit leaders' brows jumped suddenly, and they looked at Oda Nobuo in astonishment. Now they understood that what Oda Nobuo said was not wrong.

The combat power of the Yan army's warships was truly terrifying, so terrifying that it made them tremble with fear. They could launch terrifying weapons and sink their warships at a distance of ten miles between the two sides.

Although they also had catapults on their warships, the problem was that their catapults could only reach a distance of thirty or forty feet at most. Facing a warship with a sturdy hull, they might not be able to sink the enemy.

But the enemy's warships can attack from a distance of ten miles, how can this battle be fought? It is simply a one-sided crushing. The two bandit leaders looked at Oda Nobuo in horror, and opened their mouths to say retreat.

Pirates like these who have been making a living on the sea for a long time are not hot-blooded people. They will run away when they see the situation is not good, just like the dozens of warships of the two pirates that escaped before.

They know they can't win, but they still go and die. They must be mentally ill.

But they wanted to escape, how could Oda Nobuo let them do that? The reason these two guys were kept on the ship was to use them as cannon fodder and consume the enemy's weapons.

"You two, order your fleet to attack with all your might, and surround them from both sides. If you can run into the enemy ship, seize it. If you can seize a warship like this, then we will have a chance to annihilate the enemy completely!"

Upon hearing this, the two leaders looked at each other. Although there was fear and unwillingness in their eyes, they still nodded.

Then, he ordered his men to launch an all-out attack to seize the ships!

As their orders were given, the pirates on the two pirate warships who had originally wanted to escape saw this scene and cursed, but they had no choice but to continue charging forward.

Behind them were the Japanese pirates' warships. If they ran away, the warships behind them would probably sink them immediately.

In this way, the two pirates' 120 warships rushed towards the more than 100 warships of the Yan army. A big battle was about to break out between the two sides.

However, although their warships were rushing fast, they were still ten miles away. With such a long distance, by the time they rushed over, the Yan army could fire countless artillery shells.

However, in order to effectively kill the enemy and save ammunition, the Yan army did not fire their cannons indiscriminately. This situation made the Japanese pirates look happy.

More than 200 warships immediately sped up and approached quickly.

Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun were commanding dozens of warships in two directions respectively. The flag soldiers beside them were giving their orders as quickly as possible.

The warships of the Yan army split into two groups at a very fast speed, forming a fan-shaped counterattack to surround the oncoming warships.

As the formation dispersed, Oda Nobunaga, who saw this scene, suddenly showed a look of ecstasy on his face. He was worried that he could not destroy the Yan army's warships one by one, but he did not expect that they would choose this formation. Isn't this courting death!

Immediately, he issued the order to defeat the Yan army one by one. More than 260 warships were divided into several groups, with every two warships dealing with one warship of the Yan army.

Looking at his own warships rushing towards the Yan army's warships, Oda Nobuo seemed to see them defeating and capturing the Yan army's warships, and he couldn't help but want to laugh wildly.

But just when they were a few miles away from the Yan army's warships, there was a sudden roar of cannons from the Yan army's warships, and then countless artillery shells flew towards them.

In the blink of an eye, their warships were attacked by artillery fire. Although many of the artillery fire did not damage the water level of the warships, it also left their warships badly damaged.
