According to the impression of Japanese people, the Mongols' water warfare ability was simply a disaster.

This is not because the Mongols are not strong, but because they have bad luck.

In history, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty organized naval forces to conquer the Japanese twice, but both times encountered devastating hurricane disasters. The huge Mongolian navy was wiped out, and the Japanese won the victory without any blood.

Luck is also a type of ability.

"Xinxi! These ships are very strange. They have no ballistas and no ramming horns. It seems that the main purpose is to engage in boarding battles!" A Japanese pirate general said next to them.

Hojo Yoshin nodded, agreeing with this statement.

General naval battles are often divided into long-range and melee combat.

From a long-range perspective, it would be to use heavy ballistae to destroy enemy warships, kill enemy soldiers and sailors, or use crossbows to fire rockets to burn the opponent's sails, etc.

Close combat is also called boarding combat.

Let your warship get close to the enemy's warship, then send sailors to jump onto the opponent's warship, and the two sides will engage in hand-to-hand combat.

The Japanese pirates had rich experience in maritime warfare and were not afraid of boarding battles. According to past practice, one Japanese pirate could often defeat two Korean naval forces.

For the Mongolians who are not accustomed to water, the Japanese pirates are not afraid.

"Send the order, prepare to fight!" Hojo Yoshin shouted loudly.

As a burst of Japanese Mandarin sounded.

Dozens of Japanese pirate ships formed a formation on the sea near Tamna Island under the command of flags.

The Red Scarf Army warship led by Hu Dahai soon arrived opposite the Japanese pirate warship.

It was only at this time that Hojo Yoshizhin and other Japanese pirates saw the enemy's flag clearly.

"What, he's actually a red scarf thief?" Hojo Yoshizhin was shocked.

Japanese pirates such as Hojo Yoshin were not only pirates, they would also go to Jiangnan and other places to do business honestly as serious maritime merchants.

Therefore, Hojo Yoshima certainly knew the flag of the Red Turban Army.

"Humph! I'm not afraid of you when these Red Scarf Army troops arrive at sea!"

Hojo Yoshima said with a ferocious smile.

The Red Scarf Army strengthened the management of maritime merchants in Jiangnan, and these Japanese pirates were subject to strict interrogation, making it difficult for the Japanese pirates to loot and attack towns in Jiangnan.

Hojo Yoshizhin and other Japanese pirates had already hated the Red Turban Army. Now that they met in the East China Sea, the Japanese pirates thought they could take revenge!

Hojo Yoshizhin waited for the Japanese pirates to approach the Red Turban warship, and then engage in a boarding battle.

However, when these Red Scarf Army warships sailed no more than a hundred steps away from them, the warships suddenly turned their bows and lined up in front of them.

Hojo Yoshizhin and other Japanese pirates were shocked when they saw this.

"Are these red scarf thieves stupid?"

"Are you planning to die in front of us?"

The warships of the Red Turban Army were lined up.

The vulnerable sides were exposed to the front of the Japanese warship. The front of the Japanese warship had sharp iron collision angles. As long as it accelerated its sailing, it could knock out big holes in the Red Turban Army's warship.

Hojo Yoshizhin and other Japanese pirates had never seen this kind of tactics.

However, they will soon pay a heavy price for their lack of knowledge!

Hu Dahai commanded the Red Turban Army's dozen or so warships to deploy T-shaped tactics.

"fire!"

With a burst of roar, the cannon muzzles of the Red Turban Army warships opened one after another, and the rumbling sound of cannons burst out from the Red Turban Army warships. Thick white smoke bloomed like white clouds on the sea.

The Japanese pirate warships on the opposite side suddenly screamed in agony.

Broken hulls and human body parts were scattered on the ground.

Hojo Yoshin felt that the world was spinning in front of his eyes!

His ship was shaken by the fierce bombardment erupted by the Red Turban Army.

As a scream came from below the deck, countless Japanese pirates shouted wildly on the deck.

"It's leaking!"

"It's leaking!"

Many of the Japanese pirate ships were basically defenseless against the Red Turban Army's artillery.

The wooden hull, which was thought to be solid, was simply made of paper in front of the hot cannonballs.

Soon, many Japanese warships began to leak water in large quantities. Because of the shelling just now, more than ten Japanese warships lost their ability to fight. The Japanese pirates on the other ships were also horrified!

The Japanese pirates had no intention of fighting anymore and did not know how to deal with the terrifying situation in front of them.

The battleship Hojo Gishin was also punched with several large holes.

He ordered his Japanese pirates to quickly seal the leaking holes. On the other hand, he ordered the Japanese pirates to raise the sails and prepare to turn the ship around to escape from the terrifying Red Turban Army in front of them.

According to the nature of Japanese pirates, they generally won't fight any tough battles. They will rush forward as long as there is benefit, but if the situation is not right, they will immediately flee.

Japanese pirates like Hojo Yoshin wanted to escape, but the Red Scarf Army warships on the opposite side would not give them a chance.

Seeing the Japanese pirates turning the bow of the boat and trying to run back, Hu Dahai sneered, stood on the bow of the boat and shouted loudly.

"Give me a full sail!"

"Pursue! We must not let a Japanese pirate escape!"

The Red Scarf Army's sail battleship had the best sails, and with the advantage of wind power, it quickly surpassed the lagging Japanese pirate ships.

When the Red Scarf Army's naval guns passed by these Japanese pirates and capsized the ships, the artillery on both sides of the ship fired at the same time, and the rumbling sound of the cannons resounded through the sky on the sea.

The Japanese pirate ships were vulnerable.

Many Japanese pirates jumped into the sea in a panic and tried to escape to friendly ships.

However, the tall ship's side made it impossible for them to succeed. The Red Turban Army's artillery set off huge waves, knocking all the Japanese pirates who jumped into the water to the bottom of the sea.

The Japanese warships were destroyed one after another on the sea. Hojo Yoshin was almost crying at the tragic scene in front of him.

He drew out his Japanese sword and shouted, asking the sailors on the ship to pull up the sails and paddle as hard as they could.

However, the Japanese pirates' warships were too lagging behind and were no match for the speed of the Red Turban warships, and they were quickly overtaken by them.

Seeing that he could not escape, Hojo Yoshin began to kill sailors who he thought were not working hard at the oars, trying to use this behavior to cover up his inner panic.

The Red Turban warships would not show mercy to these frightened Japanese pirates.

With the sound of cannons, Hojo Yoshin's Japanese pirate ship was smashed to pieces by the artillery fire. The mast of the Japanese pirate ship was broken and the sail was in tatters.

In response to this situation, many Japanese pirates raised white flags and wanted to surrender.

It only lasts about an hour.

All the Japanese pirates who tried to escape were destroyed by the Red Scarf Army's warships, and their sails and masts were scattered in pieces on the sea.

The Japanese pirate ship gave up its struggle and no longer had the ability to escape.

Seeing this scene, Hu Dahai did not kill them all. He ordered all the surrendered Japanese pirates on the ships to be gathered on the deck to accept their surrender.

After more than half a day of containment, nearly half of the Japanese pirate warships were destroyed, and all the remaining personnel and ships were captured by Hu Dahai's Red Turban Navy.

Hu Dahai captured nearly a thousand Japanese pirates.

When these Japanese pirates were escorted to Tamna Island, Zhu Han saw these Japanese pirates and asked.

"Which of you is the leader?"

After being identified by all the Japanese pirates, Hojo Yoshizhen knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

"The villain is their leader!"

"What's your name?" Zhu Han saw that this Japanese pirate leader could speak fluent Chinese.

"Hojo Yoshima."

After Zhu Han heard this, he was immediately surprised.

This Japanese pirate, Hojo Yoshin, was not only proficient in Chinese, but also had a name.
