Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 404 Stop the Attack

However, Yang Yanzhang did not pursue the victory. He stopped the attack and ordered his soldiers to rest. After all, Yang Yanzhang also needs to recover his strength.

Although the Japanese navy was incompetent, they were not stupid.

Once Yang Yanzhang's fleet approaches, the Japanese pirates will definitely consume Yang Yanzhang's physical strength at all costs.

Yang Yanzhang's goal was to seize Nagasaki Port, not to fight the Japanese pirates. Therefore, Yang Yanzhang issued an order to stop the attack.

However, the Japanese pirates obviously misunderstood Yang Yanzhang's intentions and felt that the Tang navy was afraid. Therefore, the Japanese pirates took the opportunity to continue their attack.

"Kill! Kill all these Tang dogs." The Japanese pirates shouted.

The Japanese pirates began to attack crazily.

The Japanese pirates' offensive became more and more fierce, and Yang Yanzhang's fleet had to take a defensive posture. In this way, the offensive pace of the Tang Navy's navy slowed down.

The Japanese pirates' ships were relatively far away from Yang Yanzhang's flagship. Therefore, Yang Yanzhang was not affected by the damage to the Japanese pirates' sail, and the warship was still very fast, constantly approaching the Japanese warship.

The Japanese warships were also struggling to sail. The two sides chased each other and soon came to blows.

Yang Yanzhang's warship knocked over the Japanese pirates' ship. The Japanese pirates were caught off guard and fell into the water one after another.

Although the Japanese warships also have some weapons and equipment. However, the Japanese pirates did not know how to use the catapult, drum winch, trebuchet, etc. on the ship. They only installed a large iron ball on the bottom of the ship to smash enemy ships.

Yang Yanzhang's warship collided with the Japanese pirates' ship, and one of the Japanese pirates' warships was immediately overturned.

This Japanese pirate ship was specially used by the Japanese pirates to transport supplies from Tokyo to Nagasaki Port to replenish food and ammunition. Now, it's been overturned. The Japanese fleet lost its most basic supply capabilities, and the ammunition on the warships was exhausted.

They could only watch helplessly as the warships of the Tang Navy rushed in front of them and began to slaughter them.

The Japanese pirates looked at the big man in front of them in horror. That was a warship of the Tang Dynasty. How could it be so powerful?

They completely lost their will to fight and jumped into the water to escape. The Japanese pirates were no match for the Tang navy and had no choice but to escape.

Yang Yanzhang's fleet crushed the Japanese ships mercilessly. Japanese pirate ships were constantly destroyed. The Japanese pirates also suffered heavy casualties and mourned everywhere.

In the end, the Japanese navy completely collapsed. The Japanese pirates jumped into the sea to escape. Soon after, Yang Yanzhang's navy captured the Japanese pirates and seized a batch of grain, grass, and some weapons and equipment.

The Japanese pirates were defeated, and the Tang navy's fleet also made huge gains. However, this loss is nothing to the Tang navy.

Yang Yanzhang's fleet returned to Nagasaki port and began to rest.

After hearing the news, the leader of the Japanese pirates, Tanaka Yoshio, hurriedly summoned his army to go to Nagasaki Port. Tanaka Yoshio was quite prestigious in the Japanese Nu Dynasty, and many Japanese people were willing to serve Tanaka Yoshio after hearing his orders.

Tanaka Yoshio's men totaled more than 2,000 people. Tanaka Yoshio led more than two thousand people to Nagasaki Port.

Tanaka Yoshio was so angry that he wanted to burn Nagasaki Port to the ground.

Originally, Yoshio Tanaka believed that with the strong defenses of Nagasaki Port and the sophisticated weapons of the Japanese pirates, the invaders could be easily defeated.

But who would have thought that Nagasaki Port suffered a disastrous defeat just after it was bombarded by the Tang Navy, causing Yoshio Tanaka to suffer heavy losses.

The strength of the Japanese pirates itself is not strong, not to mention that Nagasaki Port itself is still a small port.

Tanaka Yoshio personally supervised his soldiers and organized an array to resist the Tang navy. Yang Yanzhang's army quickly arrived at the outskirts of the port. He ordered the soldiers on the ship to pick up crossbows or muskets and aim at the interior of the port.

With loud noises, the Japanese pirates' military formation was destroyed by the Tang navy.

The array of Japanese pirates turned into a mixed-organized motley crew, and their morale was extremely low.

With excitement on his face, Yang Yanzhang personally led more than a hundred sailors and soldiers, riding tall horses, to rush towards the Japanese pirates.

Yang Yanzhang galloped on his horse while killing the Japanese pirates. The sword in his hand is very sharp, and every time he uses the sword, he will definitely kill someone.

The Japanese pirates also fought bravely, not to be outdone.

Yang Yanzhang's men also mobilized one after another to kill the Japanese pirates and remove their armor.

A battle lasted for half a day.

The Japanese army was completely wiped out, leaving only a few women, children, old and young.

Yang Yanzhang issued the order: "Catch them alive!"

These female relatives of Japanese pirates are the property of Japanese pirates.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates ravaged the south of the Yangtze River and plundered women to serve as official prostitutes, causing resentment among the people in the south of the Yangtze River. The Ming court also issued an official document prohibiting Japanese pirates from plundering civilian women to serve as official prostitutes.

However, the Japanese pirates did not take this order seriously at all. The Japanese pirates still ravaged all states and counties in the Song Dynasty, and even looted large amounts of gold, silver and jewelry.

The leader of the Japanese pirates is so arrogant and domineering. However, the Japanese pirates are indeed arrogant and lawless. These Japanese pirates were not only rampant in the Japanese country, but also rampant in the Song Dynasty.

If it were in ancient times, the officials of the Ming Dynasty would have killed the Japanese pirates long ago. But now, the Japanese pirates have the advantage, and the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with the Japanese pirates.

While Yang Yanzhang was annihilating the Japanese pirates, he also killed the Japanese pirate leader Tanaka Yoshio. As soon as the leader of the Japanese pirates died, the entire Japanese pirate alliance immediately fell apart.

The Japanese warships withdrew one after another. The Japanese pirates had lost all intention of fighting against the Tang Dynasty. They just want to save their lives. The Japanese pirates knew how powerful the Tang navy was and did not dare to fight head-on.

Therefore, they abandoned the port of Nagasaki and began to flee in all directions to avoid being completely annihilated by Yang Yanzhang.

Yang Yanzhang sent a large number of soldiers to clean up the remnants of the Japanese pirates. These remnants are not to be feared. As long as they send a few generals with outstanding martial arts skills, they can suppress the Japanese pirates.

The port of Nagasaki has been cleaned up by Yang Yanzhang's fleet, and not even the body can be found. The corpses of the Japanese pirates were all burned.

The Japanese pirates would not let these corpses pollute the port of Nagasaki. Otherwise, Nagasaki Port will become a garbage dump. The Japanese pirates did not want Nagasaki Port to become smelly.

Not only that, Yang Yanzhang also dispatched a fleet to guard the warehouses and warehouses in Nagasaki Port.

Although Nagasaki Port is located in a remote location, in this era, businessmen still built a port here to sell Japanese specialty products and make money to support their families. The Japanese pirates' previous trade mainly relied on the help of merchants from Nagasaki Port.

Now that Nagasaki Port is surrounded by Yang Yanzhang's fleet, the Japanese merchants are naturally unable to continue doing business. However, the Japanese pirates did not forget the wealth of the Japanese slaves, and they were also thinking about Yang Yanzhang's Tang army.

Therefore, they secretly entered the commercial area of ​​Nagasaki Port, hiding evil intentions, and prepared to wait for an opportunity to attack Yang Yanzhang's fleet.
