Chapter 596 The Marauder
Chapter 596 The "Robber" number
With the wave of the flag, more than a dozen stone bullets flew towards the oncoming Japanese warship.
Due to lack of certain accuracy, many of these stone bombs did not hit the target. Only one was embedded in the deck of a Japanese warship and exploded, causing the death of several Japanese sailors.
Huyan Ruizhu did not shoot the second round: "Strong crossbow, prepare for the strong crossbow!"
The powerful crossbow of the Song army is a modified version of the crossbow used by the army. The crossbow of the army is more accurate, while the one used by the navy has a longer range. The arrows are the same, with very thick and sharp triangular arrows, which pay attention to penetration.
The Japanese ship was already very close. When the Song army's powerful crossbow was aiming at it, Miyamoto Rokuro could even see the thick arrow clearly. His eyes were not afraid: "Kill it up! Don't be afraid!"
This kind of crossbow is very powerful. It can penetrate the decks of those medium-sized ships and let the entire hull enter water. Once it is shot, it will definitely sink to the bottom of the sea. However, they have more than 60 ships, and it doesn't matter if they sink a few. As long as half of them can board the Song army's flagship, they are still winners.
The crossbow arrow quickly roared through the air. The target of the Song army's attack was those medium-sized warships. The crossbow arrows shot from above and down, and their penetration was even more amazing. The speed of seven or eight enemy ships that were shot was immediately slowed down. The Japanese people on the ship were seen very clearly by the Song army.
Regardless of the casualties, Miyamoto Rokuro found that the Song army's flagship had moved and began to move to the side, slowly accelerating.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Just want to leave now? It's too late? Go up!"
Several Japanese people on the large ships had gathered at the bow, holding hooks in their hands, ready to catch the board at any time.
At this moment, more than a dozen fire dragons suddenly spewed out from the flagship of the Song Dynasty. The raging fire swallowed up many Japanese warships in an instant. Miyamoto Liulang's body was also burned. Fortunately, he saw the opportunity and climbed onto the board. After the fire passed, although he looked a little embarrassed, he was not burned.
However, two large warships had been burned off the masts by the Song army's fire, and the ships could no longer use the wind. Although the sailors tried hard to row the oars forward, the direction of the ship still shifted the route they booked along the water flow.
This period of time was enough to make the "Robber" faster. After the two hulls passed by, the four frigates that had been hiding behind the "Robber" rushed up and unexpectedly attacked the Japanese ships, smashing and sinking five or six Japanese small boats. At the same time, a large Japanese warship was passing by the frigate by Song Jun, and the hull began to tilt slowly.
Chen Yuan was very happy to look at the bow of the boat: "Okay! Madam, you're doing beautifully!"
Hu Yan Ruizhu was obviously very happy to receive Chen Yuan's praise. Although she smiled on her face, she said, "This is just the beginning. You stand a little behind and you may be going to take the board soon!"
Chen Yuan saw that the Song Dynasty soldiers behind him had already lined up, as if they were ready to deal with the enemy boarding the ship at any time.
Huyan Ruizhu could not let the "raiders" leave here. Although the four frigates now disrupted the formation of the Japanese, the Japanese could react immediately. Without strong support at that time, it would be equivalent to sending these four warships into the encirclement of the Japanese warships.
Therefore, the "raider" must be killed back and immediately.
Use her huge body and special value to attract the opponent's main force, so that the four escort warships can play their greatest role.
Miyamoto Rokuro knew that his chances were getting fewer and fewer. The Song Dynasty warships behind had rescued all the sailors on the wounded ships that were about to sink. They had already formed a formation and rushed to him. They had to pedal the Song Dynasty flagship before the warships arrived and kill all the Song Dynasty people above.
When the "Robber" came back, Miyamoto Rokuro ignored the four Song Dynasty guard ships, and his expression was almost crazy: "Kill up! Kill up!"
Although Hu Yan Ruizhu was ready for a battle on the sidelines, this did not mean that she planned to fight with the Japanese in this way. Many Song troops guarded both sides of the ship and cut off or pushed down the hooks thrown by the enemy.
The sailors at the helm also kept changing directions, so that the Japanese ship could not easily approach the body of the "raider".
The "Robber" is too big, and it takes some time to climb, which provides an extremely favorable form for the defense of the Song army.
Also, no matter what, the side that attacked the enemy always suffered losses in the battle, so although the Japanese warships rushed over bravely under Miyamoto Rokuro's leadership, and the sailors shook the hooks in their hands towards the "Robbers", no one could climb onto the deck.
Beside the "Robbers", Japanese ships were constantly overturned. After paying a heavy price, the Song army's clutches had already come to kill. They attacked these sneak attackers from behind. The situation of attack formed with the "Robbers" was formed. The entire battle situation immediately tilted towards the Song army.
With a "boom." A stone bomb exploded on the bow of Miyamoto Rokuro's ship. Miyamoto Rokuro felt the hull under his feet begin to tilt, and the hull shakes continuously uncontrollably.
"Quick, fall sail!" At this time, the bow of the ship began to heavier. If the sail was still pushing forward with the help of wind, it would be possible to overturn the entire ship at any time.
But is it useful to drop the sails? A warrior next to him said hurriedly: "General, it's useless, abandon the ship!"
The beard on the corner of Miyamoto's mouth trembled twice, and he killed the samurai who made him abandon the ship with one knife, and then his eyes showed a fierce light and stared at everyone. The bloody sword pointed at the "Robber": "For the Emperor, kill him! For the glory of the samurai, we must board the ship, even if we die on it."
"Huh! Crack!"
The entire hull shook violently again, and a Song army's fast ship shot out a powerful crossbow, breaking through another board of the battleship under Miyamoto Rokuro's feet. Miyamoto Rokuro turned around and said, "Go forward!"
Huyan Ruizhu did not dodge, and the enemy could no longer pursue victory at this time. As long as she put a few more powerful crossbows, or when Miyamoto Rokuro approached, she used the ** bucket to attack the opponent, and the opponent had no chance to get up.
Hu Yan Ruizhu came down from the command tower and came straight to Chen Yuan: "My husband, that Japanese man is the leader, should he live?"
Chen Yuan nodded quickly after hearing this: "Catch it alive, if you are sure, catch it alive for me, and I'm just useful."
Huyan Ruizhu immediately issued an order to make all the soldiers on the ship ready to fight against the opponent.
Seeing that Song Jun was actually posing for him to sprint, Miyamoto Rokuro was a little surprised. Although he was brave just now, he did not expect any hope in his heart. Now the Song Dynasty people actually gave him a chance. No matter what purpose it was for, Miyamoto Rokuro ignored it and leaned straight over.
With a "bang", the two ships collided, just like a child hitting an adult's leg. Miyamoto's warship swept more than a meter away, and the sailors on the ship staggered violently, but the "raider" did not move at all.
If Hu Yan Ruizhu moves a little, it will probably knock the sunken ship under Miyamoto's feet into the bottom of the sea immediately.
Miyamoto knew about this situation that he wanted to board the flagship of the Song army now because he was a general born to a pirate. For a pirate, he wanted to own her when he saw such a ship. If he could not seize this big ship in a normal way, then let himself die on this ship!
He ordered again, and then collided again. The Japanese sailors on the side set up a hook and threw it on the rope ring. Miyamoto Rokuro took the lead in himself: "Run!"
Fujiwara Raitong shook his head in despair. He knew very well that the charge at this time had no other meaning for Miyamoto except to fulfill the glory of a samurai.
Miyamoto's failure means the last glimmer of hope for Fujiwara Raito.
He looked at the battlefield that was still in full swing, and looked at the current form, and his brows frowned. As the Japanese's physical strength declined, the Song army on the entire battlefield seemed to be more and more brave. Fujiwara Lai Tong knew that he had lost, but he still had to persist, because now is definitely not the time to seek peace.
Just now, the people of the Song Dynasty may still look down on themselves, but now they are seeking peace, the Song army will think that they won the battle and that they were beaten to admit defeat.
So Fujiwara Laitong still had to persevere until evening. Today's battle will end in the evening. The Song army could not start a night battle in the vast sea. At that time, the Japanese could safely withdraw from the battle, and they were not considered losing the entire war.
He looked up at the sky and said in a very firm tone: "Let everyone persevere, there will be more than two hours before the day will be dark."
The group of Japanese daimyos and generals standing next to him were a little sad in their expressions. The Song Dynasty's navy gave them a powerful shock. The shock came from the Song Dynasty's ships, not the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty's navy.
Fujiwara Raitong's mouth moved twice: "Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, we have never communicated with China and Turkey again. The war situation in the Japan has been introduced to our country over the years, and the Song army has been defeated repeatedly. Moreover, they seem to have lost the style of the Tang people. Cut land and compensation are almost the result of every war. This is what we hear, but what we see is another thing. If we had known this, we should have sent people to the Song Dynasty. Just like we surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, that is the wisest choice."
A great name said: "General, can the Song people still agree to us for peace now?"
Fujiwara Lai Tong smiled: "Of course they would agree. Japan is too far for the Song people. They just want to get something from us. The reason why we fight this war is to let them take less things."
In the silence of the crowd, Fujiwara Raitong sighed: "Okay, now we are destined to be unable to win, but we have at least won the dignity of the samurai with our bravery. Miyamoto is a good example. He will definitely have a heroic ending when he rushed to the flagship of the Song Dynasty. He is a real samurai and deserves the imitation of each of us."
"General, look at the back!"
A daimyo shouted loudly, and Fujiwara Laitong turned around quickly and saw a row of warships behind him leaning over, with obvious marks hanging on the warship.
