The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Many warships lost power at this moment. As the artillery fire continued, many warships were sunk. It became difficult for them to move, not to mention continuing to rush forward to fight.

This situation made Oda Nobuo and the two bandit leaders' jaws drop so suddenly. They had never imagined that the Yan army's warships were all equipped with cannons.

The same was true even for the small warships. If that was the case, how could they fight the other side, let alone rush over to fight with the other side. It was even a question of how far they could rush out.

Oda Nobuo never thought that the reason why Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun arranged the warships side by side was not because they were stupid, but to facilitate the luring of them. The Japanese pirates wanted to defeat them one by one, and they did the same.

If the Japanese pirates' warships were to form a dense formation, their artillery fire would be wasted. It would be better to fight as they assigned tasks.

This strategic deployment was very useful. The Japanese pirates thought they had an opportunity, but in the end they fell into a trap.

Especially those small and medium-sized warships, at least half of them lost power, and some were sunk. In this round of battle alone, they lost nearly a hundred warships, and more than twenty of them were sunk.

Seeing this scene, Oda Nobuo's eyelids twitched, but fortunately his main ship did not participate in the battle. Instead, it was quite far away, several miles away.

Seeing this battle situation, Oda Nobuo gritted his teeth and gave the order to continue the attack again like a gambler who was about to lose.

After all, they still have more than a hundred warships that can move. As long as they get close to the warships of the Yan army, they will have a chance.

As the order was issued, the Japanese pirates' warships continued to rush forward. The artillery attack sank and destroyed dozens of ships, but among them, sixty or seventy of the largest warships rushed to the side of the Yan army's warships, and the distance between the two sides was less than ten feet.

Seeing this, Oda Nobuo's face suddenly showed ecstasy, and the two bandit leaders also looked slightly happy, although they suffered heavy losses. More than 40 warships were sunk, and nearly 100 warships lost power.

But they were close to the warships of the Yan army. Even if they perished together, they could still severely damage the warships of the Yan army. If they were lucky, they could even grab some warships. Their breathing was short.

However, before the ecstasy could appear on their faces, they saw the sailors on the Yan army's warships suddenly take out weapons like fire sticks.

All they saw were tongues of fire shooting out from the fire sticks, and the soldiers on the warships that were close to the Yan army's warships fell down one by one.

These Japanese pirates who were eager to board the Yan army's warships were shot and killed for no apparent reason.

Moreover, at this distance, the power of the artillery is greater, and the warship was sunk in just a few rounds of bombardment.

However, after they sank several medium-sized warships, they did not use artillery fire anymore, but slowly approached their warships.

Seeing this scene, Oda Nobuo's face turned green and there was a look of astonishment in his eyes. He and the two bandit leaders thought they had seen it wrong.

In the naval battle, the warships of the Yan army possessed such powerful firepower that there was no need for close combat. Only those with insufficient firepower would risk boarding the ship to fight.

They never imagined that the Yan army would choose to fight on board.

Just as the three were stunned and astonished, they saw several huge warships of the Yan army approaching the Japanese pirates' warships at a very fast speed, and the people on them tied the cables to the Japanese pirates' warships.

While the Japanese pirates were in shock, they rushed over, and the pirates and pirates reacted and wanted to resist, but they were greeted by the gunfire of the sailors.

Amid the sounds of bang...bang, the Japanese pirates were beaten to the point of doubting their lives. In the end, they were as scared as if they had seen a ghost. Some of them jumped off the boat to escape, while others wanted to surrender directly.

However, the sailors of the Yan army would not give them the chance to surrender. Whenever they saw the Japanese pirates, there was only one word: kill!

The battle was fierce, but this was only fierce in comparison to the Japanese pirates. The Yan army suffered almost no casualties. They were like divine soldiers descending from the sky.

As the battle continued, both sides were entangled, and along with some destroyed warships, nearly a hundred Japanese pirate warships were entangled with the Yan army's warships.

In the distance, Orio Nobuo watched helplessly as his warships were seized by the Yan army. The battle was one-sided.

When he came to his senses, Oda Nobuo's face was filled with fear, and he quickly ordered his men to turn the boat around and flee. It wasn't that he didn't want to fight anymore.

The truth is, except for the warships that were sunk and had their power destroyed, the rest of their warships were almost captured by the Yan army.

He brought more than 260 warships with him, but after fighting for several hours, he did not gain any advantage and suffered heavy losses.

Moreover, the warships that were entangled with the Yan army might have fallen into the hands of the Yan army. It was ridiculous that he was still thinking of letting his men seize other people's warships.

But in the end, this was the result. He failed to rob someone and was robbed instead. Now, he had almost no soldiers left. If he didn't flee now, when would he flee? !

Seeing that the main ship of the Japanese pirates was about to escape, Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun immediately issued an order to pursue them. The two sides were less than ten miles apart, and with the terrifying speed of the main ship, they would soon be able to catch up.

But just when they had chased for a short distance, they saw four huge warships coming from a distance. These four warships were the four warships that Jiang Fan sent out to chase and kill the two escaping pirates' warships.

They saw the fleeing main ship of the Japanese pirates heading towards them, and four warships immediately surrounded it, but they did not fire any shells.

It seemed that they were planning to capture one of the enemies alive. Seeing this, Oda Nobuo immediately fell down in his seat, his eyes filled with despair.

He knew he couldn't escape. The enemy's warships were too fast. Four warships blocked his way, and there were more warships chasing him from behind. How could he have a chance to escape?

He could only watch the warship approaching, with a sinister look on his face, Oda Sakuo was ready to fight to the death, if he could seize a huge enemy ship, then he would have a chance to escape.

It might even be possible to severely damage a few enemy warships.

But just as he had this idea, four warships sandwiched them in the middle. Those pirates who wanted to attack with catapults were shot and killed by the people on the opposing warships.

He was completely trapped in the encirclement. When the warships surrounded him, the guards beside him immediately surrounded Oda Nobuo in the middle.

Hundreds of samurai surrounded Oda Nobuo and provided him with protection.

But as the four warships were tied together with the main ship of the Japanese pirates, the opposite side launched an attack, and the Yan army's shooting killed all the guards around Oda Nobuo.

After the last guard fell, Oda Nobuo appeared in front of the Yan army. Looking at the fully armed Yan navy sailors, Oda Nobuo showed a miserable smile on his face.
