What made the noble even more desperate was that the Mo family tower ship named Yu Huang seemed to wake up after experiencing a brief confusion at the beginning of the war.

With its huge body advantage and firepower advantage, the Vietnamese boat was unable to attack effectively, because the road within a hundred steps around it was almost blocked by it, while the Mo family's ship could use the building to cover the reorganized formation.

Now the body of the large ship is slowly turning, and it is obvious that it understands what it should do when it comes over. It is preparing to cross the ship to block the retreat of dozens of nearby Vietnamese ships.

The huge tower ship feels a bit unattainable. The tower ship is against the tower ship, and the small boat cannot shake such a big thing at all.

Several small boats tried to siege once, but the extremely high deck and hull allowed the Mo family musketeers on the hull to shoot calmly.

Even if there is a hand-to-hand combat, how can the people on the big boat be comparable to those on the small boat?

Now the Yue ships that broke into the left wing of the Mohist family are already fighting with those Mohist small sailboats. Once the tower ship is turned and suppressed, the dozens of ships will be completely finished.

The nobleman had hatred in his heart, because many of his family and relatives died in the Si Shang hegemony War that year, and the Mo family also robbed almost all of Yue Kingdom land in Jiangbei and released slaves and people. Many nobles became increasingly poor after moving back to Kuaiji, Wu.

He was also a brave man. Seeing that the Yu Emperor was about to turn to success, he stared at the rudder at the stern of the ship.

A little further apart, three Mohist boats were fighting with three Vietnamese boats. He did not choose to support him, but instead ordered the drums to accelerate the paddlers. After going around the six battle boats, he quickly turned with their cover and went straight to the stern of the Yuhuang ship.

There is where the rudder is. If it is destroyed, the ship will be difficult to turn, and there may be a chance to destroy a Mohist houseboat.

The stern of the boat is also the weakest firepower of the building ship. He chose a good position. He used the cover of six boats to avoid the muskets and cannons of the Yuhuang, and took advantage of the faster speed of the boat to sneak to the stern.

Not far away, a small boat from the Mo family also noticed him, and when he flashed out the six melee ships without going to support him, he seemed to have guessed his intention and turned to lean towards him.

"Beat the drum!"

The nobles shouted loudly, and the drums suddenly became rapid.

The oarsmen under the deck smelled the drum sound and used all their strength, shouting horns as the drum beats, shaking the huge oars quickly.

The boat was like an arrow leaving a string, breaking through the water and leaving a white wave mark, heading towards the rudder of the Yuhuang.

Similar drum sounds also sounded on the Mohist boat. The same drum sounds, the same meaning, were to make the oarsmen increase the speed of the boat as fast as possible, in order to intercept the ship before the Vietnamese ship hit the stern.

What is tested at this time is the paddlers on both sides and the control of the ship.

The drums were getting faster and faster. The nobles of Yue Kingdom held bent bows and shot towards the Mo family boat not far away. The archer on the boat was also moving the same as his.

On the Mo family's ship opposite, there were also gunpowder smoke and lead bullets from muskets.

Some Yue people who did not have crossbows in their hands grabbed the wood of the boat gang in one hand and carried their weapons in the other, squatting on the boat half-squatting on the boat, accumulating strength, waiting for the melee to approach.

Several strong men wearing rhinoceros armored skin exposed their neck tattoos were holding a few axes and waiting silently.

As the Yu Huang discovered this situation, he had no choice but to do anything. The stern of the boat was a blind spot for the building and could only rely on those small boats to protect.

After all, the Yue Kingdom ship won the dragon boat competition that was related to life and death, and took the lead in hitting the stern rudder of the Yuhuang. After a loud bang and shaking, the Mo family boat also hit the Yue Kingdom's boat.

The sailors half-squatting on the boat quickly stood up with the impact.

The bows and arrows and muskets were thrown down, spears were stinging, and the hand-to-hand sword and shield sailors jumped onto the opponent's ship, using everything they had learned to ensure that they were not killed while killing the enemy in the small and difficult space.

A short sword, an axe, a copper stick, and a short gun pierced into the body or onto the leather armor, splashing out a mass of blood.

On the Yu Emperor's roster, sailors wearing indigo dyed close-fitting shirts rushed to the stern and fired at the bottom with muskets. Several Yue people were immediately knocked down and fell into the water.

The strong men in rhino armor waved their axes and chopped towards the rudder.

…………

In the Vietnamese fleet, Xu Wu clenched his fists.

He did not expect that the failure of the Yue State naval army would be so rapid. In less than an hour of battle, the left wing of the Yue State naval army was over. Even though the hydrological upper reaches were seized, even if the right wing of the Mo family was just for defense, and even if the Mo family's tower ship did not seize the opportunity, the left wing of the Yue State naval army had collapsed.

The emergence of firearms changed the water war. This was not impossible to deal with, but it required blood to be paid.

The Mo family's Zhoushi did lack practical combat, but their tactics were the tactics of the gunpowder era, and they also lacked experience for Yue. The Yue country's experience was to deal with Chu and Wu, rather than the Mo family, which mainly used firearms.

I originally thought that I could restrain the right wing of the Mo family's Zhoushi for a period of time and find a way to find a chance to break through on the left wing, but the battle on the right wing of the Mo family has basically ended.

Using the tower ship as a moving fortress and learning the tactic of turtle defending the tower ship with small sailboats makes the previous experience of Yue State meaningless.

The Mohist family relied on the advantages of number of people, firearms, ships, and specifications, relying on this somewhat bulky tactic to squeeze the space of the Yue Kingdom's naval army bit by bit, crushing the last little pride of Yue Kingdom.

After so long, none of the seventeen tower ships of the Mo family were taken down, captured or sunk.

On the contrary, on the side of Yue State, a tower ship rushed towards a Mo family's tower ship with great courage, and seized the opportunity to penetrate it diagonally. In the process, only four guns were hit.

In this way, there is a possibility of capturing one ship, but I don’t expect that just after hooking together, the Mo family ships fired guns and cannons, and then a bunch of iron thunder was thrown over.

There were more than 500 combat sailors on the Mo family's building ship, while there were only more than 300 combat sailors on the Yue State's building ship. After a melee, not only did not take down the Mo family's building ship, but a doctor was killed by Yue State.

Xu Feng originally planned to rely on the right-wing to defraud the Mo family's left-wing wing, but it was not realistic to fight.

In the past, if you rely on crossbows and short swords to fight, the opponent would definitely pursue if you want to win.

The Mo family has been learning from turtles and tried to defeat him. As soon as they retreated, the cannons on the tower ships there were slams and they did not pursue them at all, but continued to clear the small boats that were fighting together.

Xu Feng is also the first person in Yue Kingdom to be proficient in water warfare, but have you ever seen such a tactic?

When they are far away, they will bombard them, and when they are close, they will be shot with muskets. Those small boats are like dolls that cannot be separated from breast milk, surrounding the building ships, fighting hand-to-hand with the surrounding Vietnamese ships.

The biggest result that Xu Feng could see now was that the rudder of a Mohist house ship in the easternmost direction was destroyed by the warriors.

As for the others... the head coach of the Mo family's boat master was like a crab hidden in a conch shell, riding on the largest warship but not rushing on the front line at all. He just kept beating drums and raising flags in the distance.

Several times I wanted to break through and kill the generals, but I was beaten back by those reserved reserved teams. The number of Mo family fleets was much higher than that of Yue Kingdom. What can I do?

After fierce battles, victory is basically impossible.

After clearing the small boats of the Yue Kingdom, the right wing of the Mohist family began to counterattack, gradually seizing the upstream of the hydrology at an extremely slow speed, and was ready to encircle.

In the melee of the Central Army, the main force of the Mo family had also suffered heavy damage to the main force of the Yue Navy and could not form an effective offensive at all. Even if several small boats were destroyed, the remaining small Mo family sailboats still surround the building ships, and the system was not chaotic.

Xu Feng felt that this tactic... was like a big turtle carrying a fortress and city on his back. It was very slow, but it could not be broken. It crushed it little by little, leaving him nowhere to go.

There is no place to escape.

The port does not have a turret covered with copper cannons and iron cannons like the north shore. Hiding in the port is a dead end.

Although these big turtles swim slowly, they will crush themselves at one moment.

Tower boats and sailboats are not sailboats. A large number of paddlers need supplies and rest, they cannot fight for a long time, and they cannot run away when they see the situation is not good. After leaving the logistics of the coast, these sailboats cannot go anywhere.

Only on the left wing of the Mo family, which had some results, was the destroyed building ship with the rudder crossing there, but the small boats around them still provided protection. The nearby Vietnamese boats were defeated by artillery and muskets on the building ship. Even if they could not move, they were still difficult to take down.

Now Xu Wu has only one building ship and thirty small boats left in the reserve team.

The right wing of the Mo family has begun to slowly occupy the upstream of the hydrology, changing from a turtle defense formation to an offensive formation, four tower ships crossing the river and can be immediately involved in the encirclement of his central army.

The central army could no longer hold on. The right wing of its side did not have much results in half of its side. Instead, the opposite side had already started changing flags, and the fleets on its left wing had begun to rush forward to prepare for encirclement.

As for the building ship that had been destroyed by the rudder, the Mo family seemed to have given up at all, but instead allowed the other building ships and small boats on its left wing to sweep towards the center, seizing the upper hand.

His left wing and central army were finished.

Failure is only a matter of time, Xu Feng knew very well.

So he turned his attention to the Mojia Tower ship whose rudder was destroyed.
