At the same time, on the far border of the South China Sea, a fleet of twenty ships was sailing quickly towards the east with full sails.

From the three "Yang Fan-style" warships at the beginning, as well as the bright red Dou Da Hongzi flag hanging on the main mast of these warships, all of them are declaring their identities to the passing maritime merchants and seafarers, this is the Hongtang fleet that dominates the South China Sea.

Zhao Xingdou's letter of request for help came back late, and it stands to reason that at this time, at most, Zhang Yuyan should have just arrived in Jilong Harbor and they got it, but don't forget, in addition to Zhao Xingdou, Wu Daofu and other Hongtang's people, in fact, in the Ryukyu Kingdom, the Bengang team also has a well-informed team, that is, the Dongwu ocean-going fleet.

However, it seems that the name of the ocean-going fleet is somewhat unworthy of the name now, because with the change of relations with the Samoto people, the risk of the ocean-going fleet going to the east-going trade is several times higher. Although there was a charter ticket from Hirado Li Dan that Satsuma would not be embarrassed by the Qixintang ocean-going fleet, just like the surprise attack of the Japanese people today, the Bengang team did not dare to put their own property and the safety of the fleet on a promise.

As a result, after the conflict with Satsuma, the Towa ocean-going fleet no longer went directly to the Towa to trade, but directly sold and purchased its own supplies on the main island of the Ryukyus.

In this way, although there is a discount on the profit of trade, because of the geographical proximity, the ocean-going fleet can make two more trade trips in a year, and in the end, it is not much less than directly running the trade with the East.

And because of the good relationship with the Ryukyuan, the trading fleet of Shoshindo was able to receive a lot of preferential treatment, and at the same time, it was also a great gain to have the opportunity to extend its tentacles into the Ryukyus itself.

For example, this time, when the Japanese gathered their troops and horses and made some moves, before the arrival of the Ryukyu Shoning King and his wife, the treasurers of the Bengang ocean-going fleet got a lot of news from the maritime merchants who came and went.

Combined with the letter received by King Shangning of the Ryukyus later, even a few days before King Shangning sent Shang Zhong to ask Zhao Xingdou for help in Jilong Port, Qixintang had already sent a fast ship to send the news back to Jilong Port early.

Jilong Harbor Zhongzhang Yuyan and they got this important information, and they couldn't be the master, and finally sent it back to Bengang to discuss with Chen Yumo and them, and soon, the two departments of Hongtang Shark and Leopard gathered 2,000 sailors and 20 warships, and set off at the fastest speed in the direction of Amami Goshima in the Ryukyus.

At this time, the team of the Japanese people had just set off, and it was still several days away from Amami Goshima!

Chen Yumo, as the most important leader of the Bengang team after Li Tianyang left, although she is a woman, she has been vigorous and resolute since she was a child, and the first thing she thought of was the benefits that Li Tianyang sacrificed for the Ryukyu native nearly 2,000 sons and daughters, and they couldn't be buried because of this!

Thinking about it a little deeper, Chen Yumo and the others can't give up Wu Daofu and Zhao Xingdou in their Hongtang department, which is the only person in the Hongtang Whale Department who can handle it now.

Therefore, soon, Chen Yumo discussed countermeasures with Wu Juren and Wu Shu, and immediately sent troops to the east, rushing to increase the strength of his own protection before the Japanese people conquered the Amami Walled City, and no matter how bad it was, he would ensure the safety of Wu Daofu and Zhao Xingdou and their personnel, and minimize their own losses.

There is no way, in the past few years of expansion, Hongtang's department can almost be said to have changed from top to bottom, and many people at the bottom have competed for the call from the past, and now they are not afraid of tigers, but generally as long as they can survive, they are not willing to apply to join Hongtang.

Moreover, with the consumption of the Hongtang team, the logistical pressure of the Bengang team has also increased invisibly, and the families of the martyrs on their shoulders have increased year by year, which has brought great difficulties to the resettlement of the team.

Therefore, considering all aspects, Chen Yumo and the others didn't want Hongtang Zhao Xingdou and his gang to lose too much, but before Li Tianyang left, he ordered Zhao Xingdou and them to do their best to protect the five islands of Amami, which made Zhao Xingdou and them impossible to retreat easily until they had to, and the final result was obvious.

"Commander, look at the situation, under this SF, it will take about two days to reach the waters of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and you will be able to see Amami Island in one day and one night!" On a "Yang Fan-style" warship, a young man with a long camera said to Wu Shu, who was becoming more and more burly in front of him.

"Well, I don't know if I can catch up and help Uncle Wu?" As the commander of this expedition, Wu Shu was finally able to get his wish again and preside over this expedition as the number one.

disappointed Li Tianyang before, Wu Shu also settled down again to follow Wu Juren and Lahouke to study, sharpening his tactical strategy and on-the-spot adaptability, this time it can be regarded as a practical test in advance.

But this time Uncle Wu's luck was good, the journey was smooth, I thought it would take an extra day to reach the waters of the Amami Islands, but they chased him hard.

When we are unsure of the specific plan of the Japanese to send troops, every day that lasts is likely to bring different changes to the war.

It's just that in the Amami Islands, Zhao Xingdou and Wu Daofu didn't know that there was such a support army rushing over day and night, and they were dealing with their respective enemies at this time, trying their best to pursue the possibility of victory.

The pirate fleet's fishing nets are finally gone, and then their actions of entangling the Hongtang fleet have become more and more uncomfortable for a long time, after all, the Hongtang fleet is too strong, even if the pirate fleet is cautious in every possible way, but it can't stand it In order to entangle Hongtang and prevent them from venting their artillery fire on the Japanese position, they can only fight closely to harass.

In this way, the Hongtang fleet will naturally not be polite, but whenever there are pirate warships that take advantage of their aim at the battlefield outside Amami City and break into the vicinity of the Hongtang fleet, then Zhao Xingdou and they will not politely give up the distant target, and turn to deal with this guy who dares to take the lead, and vent their anger on them.

In several cases, three or four pirate warships were severely damaged as a result, and even after they sank, the pirates' movements began to restrain somewhat. And without the entanglement and harassment of the pirate fleet, the Hongtang fleet has been filled for a long time, and the angry anger of the Hongtang warriors can finally be poured out on the battlefield where the Japanese people advance.

With the artillery assistance from Hong Tang on the sponge, Wu Daofu and their defending army were finally able to relax a little, and they were no longer worried by the repeated attacks of the Japanese people!
