Chapter 2337 Suddenly, like a moment of divine wind, thousands of ships and sails collapsed


    Chapter 2334: Suddenly, like a moment when the divine wind came, thousands of ships and sails collapsed


    Although Oda Nobunaga decided to abandon the army and flee, it was impossible for them to escape without taking any army. After all, the Qin army''s warships were faster than theirs. If they did not bring the cannon fodder fleet, they would not be able to jump off.


    "Send the order immediately, the unentangled warships gather immediately and prepare to retreat." Oda Nobunaga said anxiously.


    The implication is that the warship, which was entangled by the three kingdoms of Qin, Wu and Song, was in a state of war, naturally had to give up completely.


    The Japanese coalition''s navy has 70,000 naval forces and 900 large and small warships. In addition to nearly 300 sunk by the Qin army, there are still 600 warships left. This is not a small number.


    Of course, the six hundred warships that have not been sunk have been made into dumplings by Qin, Wu and Song dynasties. You have me and I have you, obviously it is not as easy as you can withdraw.


    Oda Nobunaga thought at least two hundred ships could be withdrawn. After all, the double-team force of Qin, Wu and Song did not completely trap the Japanese army to death. But what he never expected was that in the end, only more than one hundred and thirty warships were withdrawn.


    After the Wu and Song coalition joined the war, Zhou Yu guessed that Oda Nobunaga might have run away, so he naturally would not let him succeed easily, so he directly ordered the fleet to be turned into an offensive.


    Under the fierce offensive of the Qin army, the formation of the Japanese fleet was disrupted and the retreat was cut off. It was too late to take care of itself, so it was naturally not so easy to withdraw.


    “It’s abominable.”


    Oda Nobunaga''s face suddenly looked extremely ugly. He didn''t expect that only more than 130 warships were withdrawn, but he would face the pursuit of the Qin, Wu and Song dynasties. Will these 130 warships really protect them from escaping back to Japan?


    "Who have withdrawn?"


    Oda Nobunaga hurriedly asked, he no longer cared about whether he could escape or not, and ran away first and then said other things.


    "Reported to the leader of the alliance, thanks to the leader''s timely ordering the retreat, Uesugi and Takeda''s deputy leader have led several warships to evacuate the battlefield, and Daime Maori and Shimazu also withdrew. Daime Otomo Sorin was trapped by the Qin army and it is impossible to withdraw."


    Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga felt relieved.


    It doesn’t matter if the navy is completely wiped out. As long as they can escape back, they will have a chance to make a comeback.


    Four of the five famous names who participated in the war have now withdrawn, which is very rare.


    As for Shimazu Yoshihisa who failed to withdraw, Oda Nobunaga could only say sorry in his heart. He didn''t know if he could escape back alive, so naturally he couldn''t save him.


    "Immediately send orders to let all the withdrawn warships retreat eastward. In addition, give death orders to the warships that failed to withdraw..."


    Oda Nobunaga''s eyes were full of viciousness and said coldly: "Even if the whole body is broken, you are not allowed to retreat, and you are absolutely not allowed to surrender. If you dare to surrender, the whole family will be implicated."


    Toyotomi Hideyoshi''s heart trembled when he heard this, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "Hayi."


    After this order, all the Japanese troops retreated to the edge of the battlefield were relieved. After all, they finally didn''t have to face the terrifying Qin army.


    As for the Japanese army that failed to come completely, after receiving the order, they were all distraught and filled with despair.


    It was not their fault that they would be defeated in this battle. They had tried their best, but it would be fine if the leader gave up on them. He also threatened his family and did not allow them to surrender. This was to let them die.


    The class in Japan is extremely solid, and Daming has absolute dominance over the people, but the people cannot resist Daming.


    Therefore, even if Oda Nobunaga took the initiative to abandon the army and forced these Japanese soldiers to die, they had no choice. The only thing they could do was to fight to the death and not surrender, to die in gloriously, and to try not to drag down their families as much as possible.


    "Governor, look at it."


    Chen Tang pointed to the distance and shouted, "Oda Nobunaga is going to run away."


    "I am not blind, I can see it."


    In Zhou Yu''s heart, even if the 70,000 Japanese navy troops were combined, they were not as good as the daimyos that escaped, so naturally they would not let Oda Nobunaga run away easily.


    "It''s not that easy to escape under my Zhou Yu''s nose."


    Zhou Yu put down the Qianli Mile Mile and said slowly: "I ordered Qi Jiguang to take over the command of the battlefield and gradually erode the abandoned Japanese troops. This governor personally led fifty warships to chase Oda Nobunaga."


    "No."


    Although the Qin army fought fiercely with the Japanese army for two hours, the losses were not large, and in total they only lost less than thirty warships.


    Therefore, even if fifty warships are distributed, it will not affect the overall situation on the battlefield.


    Afterwards, Zhou Yu led his army to pursue, while Qi Jiguang took over the command.


    After learning that Oda Nobunaga and other Daimai abandoned their troops and fled, Sun Ce and Zhao Guangyi also made the same decision as Zhou Yu, which was to divide their troops and pursue them.


    In their eyes, the Japanese troops trapped on the battlefield were just fat on their mouths and could be eaten at any time. On the contrary, if Oda Nobunaga and other senior Japanese officials were asked to escape this time, it would be difficult to kill the imperial examination.


    "General Cheng Pu, please command the army on my behalf. I will lead 100 people, no, fifty warships will go and capture Oda Nobunaga alive." Sun Ce ordered with an excited look on his face.


    "The command of Zhao Sheng to lead fifty warships on his behalf to hunt down the Japanese pirate bandit leader Oda Nobunaga." Zhao Guangyi said lightly.


    In this way, the naval forces of Qin, Wu and Song dynasties all divided into fifty ships and went to chase and kill Oda Nobunaga and others who were fleeing.


    Among the Three Kingdoms warships, Qin State had the fastest speed, so the first one to catch up was naturally the Qin Navy.


    Although the speed of warships between Wu and Song dynasties was slower than that of Qin, it was much faster than that of Japan.


    Oda Nobunaga and others saw that they had sailed less than thirty nautical miles, and the Three Kingdoms Navy had already chased after them, so they decisively left fifty warships to break the back, and then led the remaining troops to continue to flee.


    But after only less than fifty nautical miles of escape, the Three Kingdoms naval army chased after him.


    Obviously, all the cannon fodder used to delay time have been wiped out by the Three Kingdoms coalition forces.


    "Lord, if this continues, we may not be able to reach the Guanmen Strait, and all warships will be sunk." Toyotomi Hideyoshi said anxiously.


    "What to do? What to do?"


    Oda Nobunaga was completely panicked. The feeling of being unable to beat or even being able to escape was so desperate.


    Oda Nobunaga even thought of surrendering to save his life, but before the Qin army even attacked Japan''s land, if he surrendered first, then he would be despised for thousands of years and be despised by all the Japanese.


    Seeing that he had always been calm and proactive, he looked panicked at this moment. Toyotomi Hideyoshi knew that he could not count on him. He didn''t want to die in battle and could only pray silently in his heart: "God, please bless me, let me, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, successfully overcome this disaster and return to Japan alive."

    [Dingdong, Toyotomi Hideyoshi''s skill "Fulu" effect 2 is activated, and there is a great chance of surviving any life and death crisis. 】?????Boom…


    As a thunder blew up in the distance, the sky began to surging at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    A large number of dark clouds gathered over, and the wind became more noisy and became louder and louder.


    The originally calm sea area has become less calm in an instant.


    Toyotomi Hideyoshi looked at the dark clouds in the distance, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and said excitedly: "If you have a way to take the initiative, we can sail towards the dark clouds."


    Oda Nobunaga was stunned and hesitated: "But it is about to rain heavily in that sea area, and the risk of sailing there is too high."


    "Lord, no matter how risky you are in a storm, you still have a glimmer of hope, but you will be chased by the Qin army behind you.


    Now we cannot get rid of the pursuers of the Three Kingdoms at all. If we continue like this, we will be completely wiped out before we escape ashore.


    Comparing the two, which one has greater risk? ”


    Hearing Toyotomi Hideyoshi''s words, Oda Nobunaga suddenly became silent. With this comparison, the risk of entering the heavy rain zone is even smaller.


    As soon as he thought of this, Oda Nobunaga''s eyes were full of determination and he said in a deep voice: "I hope this area can scare away the pursuit of the Three Kingdoms navy."


    After saying that, Oda Nobunaga decisively ordered: "Turn the sails and move towards the dark clouds."


    “Hayi.”


    The Japanese army changed its direction, and Zhou Yu immediately received the news.


    "Grandmaster, the direction of the Japanese army''s escape has changed."


    While compiling, Chen Tang used a thousand-mile mirror to observe and said, "Although there were a large number of dark clouds on the upper floor of the sea where the Japanese army fled to, as far as possible, there should be no heavy rain for a while. At the speed of our army, half an hour would be enough to pass through."


    Zhou Yu did not listen to Chen Tang''s words, but instead stared at the clouds ahead and felt the sudden change of wind.


    "how so?"


    Zhou Yu looked puzzled. Before the war started, he had observed the weather and was very sure of the wind direction and weather, so he chose to carry out today, but now all these have suddenly changed.


    Zhou Yu has always known that the climate at sea is actually changing very quickly, but even he has never seen it before. This is really contrary to common sense.


    "Grandmaster, Grandmaster?"


    Under Chen Tang''s call, Zhou Yu woke up from his meditation, reached out to support his hair that was blown somewhat messy, and said to himself, "The wind is also stronger than before, how could this happen?"


    Suddenly, Zhou Yu thought of what the Yin-Yang Family Donghuang Taiyi said to him not long ago: The wind blows and the clouds fly.


    “Is it?”


    A hint of panic flashed in Zhou Yu''s eyes, and then he quickly ordered: "Stop chasing, stop chasing immediately, and the entire army will return as usual."


    But Chen Tang was puzzled, and the other generals didn''t understand it very much. Could it be that the fat meat that came to his mouth was spitting out like this? So they asked Zhou Yu why he didn''t chase him.


    Zhou Yu only answered six words: "The storm is coming."


    All the generals shivered and understood what it means to encounter a ''storm'' on the sea. Even if the Qin army''s warship was extremely solid, they might not be able to withstand it.


    But seeing that the weather is a bit gloomy and the wind is indeed a little heavier, it doesn’t seem like a storm will appear?


    Although the generals didn''t believe that a storm would suddenly appear, Zhou Yu, as the commander-in-chief, issued an order, so they naturally did not dare to disobey. So the Qin army, which was originally pursuing at full speed, suddenly stopped chasing and turned to the original route to return.


    Sun Ce and Zhao Sheng were both stunned when they saw this. Just as they were about to ask the reason through the flag, the Qin army took the initiative to inform them that the storm was approaching, so they immediately stopped chasing and returned on the same road.


    Sun Ce did not think that a storm would come, but he knew Zhou Yu and knew that Zhou Yu would never be targeted. Since he said that, he must have his reasons.


    Moreover, just like he wouldn''t cheat Zhou Yu, he believed that Zhou Yu wouldn''t cheat him, so he decided to believe Zhou Yu.


    Sun Ce trusted Zhou Yu without reservation, but Zhao Sheng of Song State did not trust that much.


    "Cha? Zhou Gongjin and Sun Bofu are too much of a problem. How could the storm come just by saying that? Besides, if there is a storm in this sea area, the movement will be more than ten times greater than now."


    Zhao Sheng said with disdain, obviously not believing Zhou Yu''s words.


    "Never mind, continue pursuing this piece of fat, since Zhou Yu and Sun Ce don''t eat it, I, Zhao Sheng, will take it alone."


    Zhao Sheng gave an order with a confident look on his face, and then led his army to continue chasing and directly broke into the uneasy sea area, but he regretted it after chasing him less than fifty miles.


    The storm and waves on the sea became heavier and he even overturned several warships.


    If you continue to chase this way, even if you can catch up, your own casualties will not be very small.


    "Damn it, I can''t chase you anymore. I''ll send an order and withdraw immediately..."


    Before Zhao Sheng could finish his words, a violent gust of wind came, and nearly ten warships were overturned. The masts of the unstopped warships were hung up and the hull was shaken violently.


    Immediately afterwards, the strong wind swept through the dark clouds, and the downpour suddenly fell, and it became heavier and heavier.


    Seeing this, Zhao Sheng''s pupils suddenly shrank, and he felt so regretful.


    Zhou Yu said nothing wrong, the storm is really coming.


    "Be careful, General."


    After hearing this shout, Zhao Sheng subconsciously turned around and saw the shaking mast, which was directly broken by the storm, and smashed towards him.


    Boom...


    Zhao Sheng, who had no time to hide, was directly smashed into a flesh road by the mast and died tragically on the spot.


    Zhao Sheng, one of the four princes of the Warring States Period, fell in the storm before he could even reach the Japanese mainland and became the first senior general to die in the four-nation alliance.
