The battle was critical, Mizuno Shichiro took a desperate gamble and directly ordered the Sato water pirates to launch a fire ship attack.
Soon, seven small boats on the windward side of the "Chita" were directly set ablaze, carrying fierce flames, under the control of a few warriors willing to die, using the last of their sail power to charge straight towards the "Chita".
However, it was not actually the best time to execute the fire attack strategy.
"Chita" had firepower far beyond that of battle ships from the Japan Middle Ages, with the Iron Cannon and Flamboyant guns making it impossible for anyone to stand on the small boats around it. Even if surrounded, its movements were somewhat restricted, but its oars were mostly intact, maintaining a certain level of mobility.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for the fire ships to stick closely to it and ignite it quickly.
