William's fleet slowly approached the forty-odd warships in a roundabout way, and by the time the people on the ships found out, Zhang Tong's fleet had already come closer!

"Fire!" Zhang Tong gave an order, and the ironclad ships opened fire one after another!

The men on the enemy ship, apparently not ready for battle, returned fire and withdrew to the south!

"Sure enough, I want to escape to the vicinity of Taizhou!" Zhang Tong sneered and said, "Pursue with all your might, you can't let them run!" ”

Zhang Tong's fleet attacked these ships in the east, south, and north, among which the southwest direction was weaker, which was also arranged by William, the purpose was to force these more than 40 enemy ships into the place arranged by William in advance!

Sure enough, under the attack of Zhang Tong and Sun Qian, those enemy ships were gradually forced into the area set by William.

William saw on the main ship that everything was going according to his expectations, and with a slight smile on his face, he said: "Inform Zhang Tong and Sun Qian not to chase too fiercely, you have to give them time for reinforcements!" ”

"Yes!" The herald promised to give the order!

William's prediction was right, after learning that the Huaxia National Ironclad ship was attacking, in the cabin of a huge warship in the waters of Bingzhou, a white-haired old man sat on a chair, and several generals stood beside him!

"Humph!" The old man snorted coldly and said, "They really went out, it seems that Sido's warship is not guaranteed!" ”

"Lord Wang, aren't we going to save it?" One of the generals beside the old man said.

"Save, naturally you want to save, Dila, you will take your fleet south!" The old man said.

"But my lord, we have to go here for three days at the earliest, why don't you let Du Wu and them go?" Dira asked.

"Du Wu estimates that it is already at this time, but do you think they will let Du Wu go to the rescue?" The old man said: "I'm afraid that as soon as Du Wu leaves, he will be attacked from front to back!" If Sido can't hold out for even three days, then there is a difference between saving and not saving! ”

"Yes! The end will be immediate! Deira agreed.

"You all go down and prepare, the big war is about to begin!" The old man waved his hand, and the generals in the cabin retreated one after another.

"Lord Wang." A man dressed as a scribe who had been standing behind the old man watched the generals leave and said, "Sido was a seduction, why did he put Dila in again?" ”

"That's more real, and you look at the situation just now, if you don't let him go, will he agree? That's fine, save it later! The old man stood up and walked towards the back, saying as he went;" I'll have to rest for a while, and I'm afraid I won't even get a chance to sleep in the future. ”

"Metropolitan Governor, the enemy ship in the direction of Taizhou has really moved!" Sun Qian said.

"Inform Lao Hu that you can act!" William said.

"Yes! More than 60 warships were also dispatched from the state side, and it is estimated that they also came to the rescue from the south. Sun Qian said again.

"And the state also moved?" William said: "It will take three days to come to the state at the earliest. And they're not worried that we'll set up an ambush halfway through? ”

"Li Feng's fleet should not have a big problem dealing with sixty enemy ships." Sun Qian said.

"Inform Li Feng to be careful, you also go and prepare, since the enemy ship in Taizhou has arrived, we will entertain him well!" William said.

"Yes!" Sun Qian left the main ship, returned to his ship, and commanded the fleet to the south, preparing to ambush the enemy from Taizhou!

At this time, Zhang Tong had already forced the more than 40 enemy ships into the pre-arranged sea area.

"Why would the Grand Governor want us to force these ships into this area and then not let them attack?" Zhang Tong's attachment Zhou Hai asked.

"The Grand Governor wants to use these enemies as bait and lure more enemy ships to come." Zhang Tong said.

"Then you're not afraid of these enemy ships running away?" Zhou Hai said.

"Run? Where are they going? Zhang Tong said.

"This sea area extends in all directions, is it running?" Zhou Hai said.

Zhang Tong also felt that something was wrong, if his fleet wanted to annihilate these enemy wounds, it was still possible, but it was a little difficult to surround these enemy ships here.

In advance, Zhang Tong also asked William, but William's reply to Zhang Tong was to take the southeast side, as long as those enemy ships did not escape from the southeast side, Zhang Tong did not need to be held responsible.

"Let's just take care of the southeast side, we don't have to worry about the rest!" Zhang Tong said.

"General Sun and General Li are both killing the enemy outside, but we can only watch that such a big piece of fat meat can't be eaten!" Zhou Hai said reluctantly.

"You think I want to! People are the governors, we can only obey orders! Zhang Tong said.

"What a Grand Governor, if I had a fairy-like sister, I could also be a Grand Governor!" Zhou Hai said disdainfully.

"What nonsense?" Zhang Tong said unhappily.

"General Zhang, you don't know yet, do you?" Zhou Hai suddenly said: "General Li's daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law of his nephew's nephew, and a distant sister of his sister are serving the elder sister of the Grand Governor in the palace. ”

"What kind of mess is this?" Zhang Tong was a little confused by Zhou Hai!

"Isn't that obvious?" Zhou Hai said: "Let's surround the east and south, do you think, the southeast side can't come, and the west side is the mainland, so these enemy ships are better to go north, right?" It will take two days for the enemy army in the northern annex to reach this place at the earliest, and who is guarding the north? It's General Lee! "Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

"What's this?" Zhang Tong still didn't understand.

"You still don't understand, do you?" Zhou Hai said: "This is not clear, we have exhausted the pursuit of these enemy ships, and now we don't want to annihilate them, but just drive them to the north, and General Li is waiting in the north at the moment to eat this big fat meat!" Isn't this obvious to General Li? ”

Zhou Hai's words are not unreasonable, Zhang Tong is indeed a little puzzled, he can obviously destroy these more than 40 enemy ships, but he just refuses to let it, not only can he not destroy it, but he also has to block the way of these enemy ships to the south, this is indeed clearly to let these enemy ships flee north, so who in the north didn't pick up a big bargain in vain?

"General, we can't let this credit run away!" Zhou Hai looked at Zhang Tong and said.

"However, the military order is difficult to disobey!" Zhang Tong hesitated.

"The Metropolitan Governor didn't let us destroy these enemy ships, let us force them here, but he didn't say that he wouldn't let us follow, we kept following, and when they started a war with General Sun, we would join immediately, and then we would naturally have a share of the credit!" Zhou Hai said.

"Yes! That's right! He didn't let us destroy them, but he didn't say he wouldn't let us follow! Zhang Tong's eyes lit up and said, "Notify me and follow up with all my might!" ”

"Yes!" After Zhou Hai finished speaking, he turned around and went out.
