Chapter 2336 Zhou Yu Tsugumi Shunchen VS Oda Uesugi Takeda

 Chapter 2332: Zhou Yu Tsugumi Shunchen VS Oda Uesugi Takeda

Oda Nobunaga knew very well that the current situation was a dangerous one for the Japanese Allied Forces. If he was not careful, he would be caught in a pincer attack from both front and rear, and eventually the entire army would be annihilated.

The best way to resolve this crisis is to withdraw the troops directly, but the Japanese Allied Forces can no longer withdraw because the shameless Zhou Yu on the opposite side has ordered the Qin Army to launch a general offensive.

In addition, the speed of the Qin army's warships is faster than that of the Japanese. If they just retreat without fighting, they will tie themselves up and let the Qin army attack without fighting back.

Even if he could escape in the end, there would probably be only a few ships left, so it was naturally impossible for Oda Nobunaga to do this.

Since it is destined to be impossible to escape, it is better to fight to the death with the Qin army and defeat the Qin army before the Song and Wu coalitions arrive. This is the only chance for the Japanese navy to survive.

“Soldiers, victory or defeat depends on this, defeat the Qin army in front, and avenge the death of the villagers and elders who were massacred by the Qin army.”

Oda Nobunaga did not dare to disclose the news that the Song and Wu coalition forces were about to invade, because this would inevitably damage the morale of the army. Now the Japanese coalition forces cannot be affected by the outside world at all.

With that said, Oda Nobunaga pulled out the famous sword Juyimonji from his waist, pointed at the Qin navy opposite and shouted: "Attack."

 “Hai.”

  【Ding dong, Oda Nobunaga’s skill ‘Magic Commander’;

Demon Commander: Oda Nobunaga’s unique skill, which is a fusion of ‘Demon Commander’ and ‘General’.

Effect 1: Command +3 when commanding cavalry, Command +2 when commanding infantry, Command +1 when commanding navy, and the overall quality of the entire army is partially improved.

 Effect 2: When participating in the battle personally, one's own force +4, and the whole army's force +1.

 Effect 3: After being injured, one's own strength +3. In a life-or-death crisis, a hero will come to his rescue.

 Effect 4, if you are proclaimed emperor, the five dimensions will be permanently +1; (Note: Already activated.)]

  【Ding dong, Oda Nobunaga's skill ‘Magic Commander’ is activated with effect 1. When commanding the navy, the commander +1.

Oda Nobunaga’s five dimensions: Commander 99 (+3), Martial Power 100 (+5), Intelligence 85 (+4), Politics 95 (+12), Charisma 95 (+6);

 The current commander-in-chief of Oda Nobunaga has increased to 100;】

Oda Nobunaga's five-dimensional attributes have improved so much because he was honed in three Honshu wars, and the skill of "Magic Commander" was also his reward for defeating the anti-Oda coalition three times.

The situation Oda Nobunaga faced at that time was much more desperate than it is now. At its worst, he was even surrounded by enemies on all sides and was forced to fight on multiple fronts. But even so, he still survived and fought his way out.

 The victory of the three Honshu wars not only established the Oda family's status as the hegemon of Japan, but also made Oda Nobunaga reborn from the ashes, and his abilities were completely different from before.

 It was precisely because of all the previous hardships that Oda Nobunaga was able to see at a glance the only opportunity for the Japanese army in today's complicated situation, and took action to decisively command 70,000 naval troops to face the Qin army.

Following Oda Nobunaga's order, the flag on the Japanese main ship quickly waved, conveying the alliance leader's general order to the left and right wings.

Seeing this, Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen decisively commanded the two wings to follow the central army, and together they faced the Qin army.

 The commanders of Japan's left, center and right armies are Commander-in-Chief Oda Nobunaga 100, Commander-in-Chief Kenshin Uesugi 97, and Commander-in-Chief Takeda Shingen 97;

To be honest, such a water battle lineup is already quite gorgeous. Even in the Central Plains, except for Great Qin, no other country can put it together.

But it is a pity that Oda Nobunaga found the wrong opponent. His opponent this time happened to be Da Qin, and the lineup of water battle generals was also extremely luxurious.

 The commanders of the three armies of the Qin Dynasty: Commander Zhou Yu 100, Qi Jiguang 99, and Yi Sunchen 95.

You must know that these three generals of Da Qin are not only famous generals, but also famous water warfare generals. They all have water warfare skills, and two of them are also famous anti-Japanese generals.

If fighting on land, Oda Nobunaga and the other two might be able to compete with them, but they would be far behind in a water battle.

“Master Governor, the Japanese army did not escape, but chose to fight head-on.” Chen Tang reported with excitement.

“It is expected. Oda Nobunaga is a man of both civil and military skills. He will not know the consequences of escaping without fighting, but this is just what I want.”

Zhou Yu's eyes were full of coldness and he said indifferently: "With this battle, we can defeat the Japanese navy and completely break the backbone of the Japanese nation."

Why didn’t Zhou Yu use guerrilla warfare to attack the coastal areas of the Japanese country, weaken the Japanese country bit by bit, and wait until the Japanese country was weak enough to concentrate his strength to defeat the Japanese country in one fell swoop?

Rather, they chose to anger the opponent first and then engage in a decisive battle with the Japanese army, which was almost at its peak?

The reason is very simple. Zhou Yu not only wanted to kill people, but also to punish people. He wanted to establish an image of the Qin army being invincible and completely break the backbone of the Japanese country.

Zhou Yu knew that this was difficult, but if it succeeded, the power of Qin would be deeply rooted in the hearts of every Japanese country.

 At that time, after the Japanese army attacks the Japanese island, the Japanese army will definitely feel timid when encountering the Qin army. Their combat effectiveness will be weakened by three points, and the resistance encountered by Da Qin will also be weaker.

 In addition, if a decisive battle is not fought with the Japanese army, the Qin army will not be able to land on the Japanese island.

There are a hundred thousand coalition forces landing on the Japanese island. Unless the Japanese navy is completely defeated, the coalition forces cannot safely land at all. Even if they land, they will definitely be harassed by the Japanese navy.

 Therefore, only by defeating the Japanese navy first, can the four-nation coalition have no worries and boldly conquer the Japanese islands.

“Oda Nobunaga wanted to defeat our army before the Wu-Song coalition arrived and then retreat. I have to say that he thought too highly of himself.”

Zhou Yu sneered, obviously not thinking that his 40,000 elite troops would be defeated by 70,000 Japanese troops in two hours, so he ordered: "Send orders to Qi Jiguang and Yi Sunchen, telling them not to confront the Japanese head-on and try to delay the time." ”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

Even if it were 40,000 against 70,000, Zhou Yu would be absolutely sure to win, but the casualties would be huge.

Now that he has the help of reinforcements and can win with the lowest casualties, Zhou Yu will naturally not adopt a method with greater casualties.

  【Ding dong, Zhou Yu's skill 'Shuijun' is activated with effect 1. When fighting on the water, the commander +3, and the strength of the entire army increases by 1 point, and the overall quality is greatly improved.

 At present, Commander Zhou Yu has increased to 103, the Qin army's military strength is +1, and its overall quality has been greatly improved. 】

Zhou Yu is worthy of being a famous general in water warfare. After activating the skill "Water Lord", his commander level reached 103. The momentum of Qin Shui's army also changed instantly and reached another level.

Water battles do not require individual soldiers to engage in combat before the warship approaches, but this does not mean that the additional force used by the entire army is useless. With this additional force, the soldiers will become more skillful and accurate in operating bows and crossbows. Likewise, Can have the effect of killing enemy troops.

After receiving Zhou Yu's order, Qi Jiguang decisively ordered: "Immediately stop approaching the Japanese army, use crossbows and rockets to shoot back the invading Japanese army and prevent the Japanese army from approaching."

"No."   【Ding dong, Qi Jiguang's skill 'Jinghai' effects 1 and 2 are activated one after another. When commanding the navy, the commander +3, and the overall quality of the entire army is partially improved. When fighting against Japanese pirates, the commander +2, and the entire army's force +1. .

ˆ Qi Jiguang: Commander 99 (+2), Force 99 (+3), Intelligence 90 (+1), Politics 86 (+1), Charisma 98 (+2). Equipment: Divine Power Water Gun +1, Curly Blood Horse +1.

 The current commander-in-chief of Qi Jiguang has increased to 104, his military strength has increased to 103, and the military strength of the whole army has +1;】

 Qi Jiguang's water combat ability is not better than Zhou Yu's, but the effect of his skill 'Jinghai' is 2 against Japanese, which will increase his commander's gain by 2 points when facing the Japanese.

With the increase of the double skill effect, Qi Jiguang's ability to command water battles at this time even surpassed that of Zhou Yu, the governor-general. Even if his wing only had a total attack of 5,000 naval troops, it still had no fear of Uesugi Kenshin's two men. Wan Shuijun.

Qi Jiguang held a telescope and looked at Uesugi Kenshin on the opposite boat. He said coldly to himself: "Uesugi Kenshin, I let you run away last time in Qingzhou. You won't have such good luck this time."

Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang both fought against Uesugi Kenshin. If Jintai had not arrived in time, Qi Jiguang almost died in the hands of Uesugi Kenshin.

Although Qi Jiguang defeated Uesugi Kenshin in the end, he was escaped by Uesugi Kenshin even after he had been captured alive.

Qi Jiguang was naturally worried about this, and made up his mind that Uesugi Kenshin must not be allowed to run away again in this expedition to Japan.

After Qi Jiguang gave the rocket command, the other two Qin troops also fired rockets.

On the Japanese Allied Forces side, seeing that the Qin Army did not continue to approach, but stopped, they all became excited and accelerated to approach the Qin Army. However, before they were two thousand meters away, they were hit by a crossbow from the Qin Army. Attack, and the missiles fired were rockets.

bump…

Seeing this, Kenshin Uesugi hammered the splint angrily and gritted his teeth: "The Qin Army's bed crossbow technology has improved again, and its range is farther than before."

Japan also has bed crossbows and strong crossbows, although the number is not large. Originally, Uesugi Kenshin wanted to use them as secret weapons, but he did not expect that the range of Daqin bed crossbows was so much farther than theirs.

What surprised Uesugi Kenshin even more was what came next.

Qi Jiguang's 5,000 navy troops were first blessed by 1 point of force from Zhou Yu's "Navy Army", and then received 1 point of force from "Jinghai". In total, they received an increase of 2 points of force, and their overall quality was greatly improved. After the upgrade, the crossbowman's archery is so accurate.

Nearly half of the arrows thrown hit the target, and many Japanese soldiers were killed by arrows.

What's even more serious is that the rockets fired by the Qin army did not know how they were made, but they actually contained a lot of kerosene.

Although nearly half of the rockets fired by Da Qin were missed, half of them hit the target accurately. When the rockets landed on the ship, they would ignite a large area and quickly set the warship on fire.

The Japanese ships naturally had fire extinguishing measures, and the soldiers also looked for water or sand to put out the fire as soon as possible.

But what the soldiers didn't expect was that the more they poured water on it, the more it would flourish. Only sand and soil could extinguish the flames, but the speed at which they put out the fires was far less than the speed at which Da Qin set the fires.

Soon, the flames of only seven of the ten warships at the forefront were extinguished, while the fires of the other three were completely out of control.

After seeing this scene, Uesugi Kenshin's face was extremely cold. He lost three warships before he even got close to the Qin army.

 “Since the fire cannot be extinguished, then abandon the ship.”

Uesugi Kenshin decisively ordered the sailors on the five ships whose fires were out of control to abandon the ships and jump into the sea to swim to the approaching ships. As for whether they could swim back smoothly, it was not within her control.

Takeda Shingen also lost several warships to Yi Sun-shin's rockets, but he quickly thought of a countermeasure, which was to spread the distance between the warships to reduce the Qin army's hit rate. Rate.

Although the method is a bit crude, the effect is very obvious.

After the Japanese warships were further dispersed, the accuracy of the rockets fired by the Qin army was greatly reduced, and two-thirds of them fell into the sea. Although one-third still hit the target, due to the preparations for putting out the fire in advance, it took a lot of effort It can still be put out in the end.

Oda Nobunaga and Uesugi Kenshin saw that Takeda Shingen’s method was effective, and they followed suit.

After Yi Sun-shin saw that the Japanese warships were scattered, his rocket tactics were greatly reduced, so he mobilized all the crossbowmen under his command to focus fire on the approaching Japanese warships.

 【Ding dong, Yi Sun-shin's skill "Turtle Ship" is activated;

Turtle Ship: Yi Sun-shin’s unique skill.

 Effect 1: Command +2 when leading the navy in offensive warfare, +3 in command when leading the navy in defensive warfare;

 Effect 2, resist Japanese pirates, command +2 when fighting Japanese pirates.

 Effect 3: When participating in the battle in person, own force +2;】

  【Ding dong, Yi Sun-shin's skill "Turtle Ship" effects 1 and 2 are activated one after another. He is currently leading the navy to fight a defensive battle. The commander is +3. When fighting against Japanese pirates, the commander is +2.

Yi Sun-shin: Commander 95, Force 82 (+2), Intelligence 82, Politics 68, Charisma 95;

 The current commander-in-chief of Yi Sun-shin has increased to 100;】

 At this point, the commanders of the three divisions of the Great Qin Navy, including Yi Sun-shin, who has the lowest command, have all reached 100 points.

On the other hand, on the Japanese side, Oda Nobunaga was the only one who commanded over 100 troops, while neither Uesugi Kenshin nor Takeda Shingen had water warfare skills.

Under Yi Sun-shin's concentrated fire tactics, the approaching warships were set alight one after another, causing heavy losses to Takeda Shingen's troops.

Just when Takeda Shingen was hesitating whether he should continue to attack, Oda Nobunaga ordered that the Qin army should be brought into his own range at any cost.

As soon as Oda Nobunaga issued this order, the Japanese navy went completely crazy and began to approach the Qin army at all costs, even if they were ignited by rockets.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu still had no intention of entangled with the Japanese army. He ordered the naval forces to retreat while using their range advantage to fight back.

However, due to the large scale of the fleet, the speed advantage could not be fully utilized when retreating and fighting at the same time. This also brought the Qin army into the firing range of the Japanese army, and the fleets of both sides began to shoot at each other.

The Japanese army soon fell into a disadvantage. After all, the number of crossbows on both sides was not at the same level, and the Qin army's crossbows were also more advanced.

However, Oda Nobunaga never wanted to win with crossbows from the beginning. His real purpose has always been close combat.

After firing for half an hour, the Japanese lost nearly a hundred warships and finally approached the Qin army's front army, and those fireships directly collided with them.
