55 The Fight of the Trapped Beasts
With such a big movement on Hulu Island, how could they hide Li De and Li Tianyang who had been staring at this side, when the pirates on the opposite side began to take care of their warships, Hong Tang and the warriors of the Wild Shark were already alert.
"Finally, it seems that there are still smart people among them." Zhang Chong sat under Li De's head, stroked his temples and said.
"I thought they were going to be turtles until they died!" Li De grinned and said: "In the past, there were always people who said that there was Yuan Laoba in the east and a big mad shark in the west, after this war, no one would dare to compare him with us!" ”
"Haha, big brother is mighty!"
"The big boss is brave!"
A group of sycophants shouted at the bottom.
However, Li Tianyang is not so optimistic about the upcoming war. As the so-called dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, the trapped beast fights, Yuan Laoba's heritage is strong after all, and it is in their own home field, under the last game, the powerful combat power that broke out must be extraordinary, if you underestimate the other party because of your own strength, the last unlucky one must be your own side.
"Father, don't be careless, after all, the Yuan thief has dominated the South China Sea for more than ten years, and his strength cannot be underestimated under a desperate battle." Li Tianyang interrupted Li De's giggling laughter with a serious face.
"Little rabbit cub, Lao Tzu has seen more of the world than you have ever eaten salt, do you need to be reminded?" Li De glared at Li Tianyang, and pretended to reprimand Li Tianyang: "Don't worry, this Yuan Laoba will definitely not be able to escape our palms this time!" ”
Li Tianyang couldn't, he regretted it just now, he shouldn't have pointed out Li De in front of so many uncles and uncles, he just hoped that Li De could put what he said in his heart, and at the same time he turned his gaze to Zhang Chong odd and even, and didn't understand why Zhang Chong didn't open his mouth to remind Li De.
"Okay, okay, let's go back and rest early, maybe the big war will start tomorrow, it's time to go back and make arrangements." Li De lost some face by what Li Tianyang just said, and his mood turned bad at this time, and he was in no mood to talk about it, so he sent everyone back with a word.
Li Tianyang wanted to stay on Li De's ship and talk to him alone, but looking at the sky and thinking about Hongtang's side, there were indeed many things to go back and explain by himself, so Li Tianyang could only look at Zhang Chong for help, hoping that he could persuade Li De.
Zhang Chong obviously saw Li Tianyang's gaze, nodded his head imperceptibly, and gave him a reassuring look.
The next day, when the sky was hazy and before it was completely bright, Yuan Laoba and the others launched their boats, more than 30 ships of various types, and rushed towards Li Tianyang and them with great momentum.
At the forefront were seven or eight fast boats controlled by a few dead soldiers, which were filled with flammable materials such as fire oil and gunpowder, and when they approached, they lit fireworks and set a fire to burn a jade.
Immediately followed by the most elite warship selected by Yuan Laoba and them, as the tip of the knife, in order to give the mad shark the biggest blow in the chaotic moment after the fireship tactics took effect.
The third echelon is the miscellaneous fleet that Yuan Laoba and they have pieced together in the past few days, and it is not easy to pull out, although there is no advantage in long-range warfare and speed, but when the front is in the melee, it is no problem to close the distance and play hand-to-hand combat with the Shark fleet, after all, hand-to-hand combat is about the courage and combat skills between the fighters, and it has little to do with the ship.
"Poles stop these fast boats, and all the archers are ready to aim at the pirates on the fast boats." Li Tianyang's expression was solemn, his eyes staring at the several fireships that were gradually approaching, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
This is the correct way to open the naval battle of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the battle of Bengang at the beginning, or the usual robbery of them, at the beginning of the war, what everyone wanted was not completely life and death, but more or hope to leave some loot, so they did not use such means as fireships.
However, the fast boat itself is small and flexible, and the heavenly prince is beautiful, they are the upper hand, and the speed that they have pressed over is not something that Li Tianyang can intercept like an interceptor.
Three or four fast boats were either shot by the fire and killed the dead men who were operating the boats, or they were held up by the poles stretched out from the warship, and they could not advance or retreat, and finally died in the Bengang team members and shark warriors who climbed onto the fire boats from the sea.
As for the other four or five fireships, after seeing that they were approaching the target, the dead soldiers with shields on their shoulders lit the fire oil on the ships one after another, and the raging flames "roared" on a large area of the sea, and crashed straight towards the target.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
One after another, two warships were hit by the fireboat, and then the gunpowder ignited by the spread of the fire exploded, directly blowing a hole the size of a pot at the place where the warship collided with the fireship.
The sea water poured into the two ships along the huge gap, and the hull gradually tilted, and the warriors on the ships finally had to abandon the ship, jump into the sea, and swim to the nearest ship.
The remaining three warships, before they could get close to the target, blossomed within a stone's throw of the target, and the startled water column turned into a white dragon, falling from the sky and slapping on the warriors on the warship, cooling their frightened little hearts.
In one shot, Li Tianyang and his side lost two warships, which dealt a big blow to the confident Li Tianyang and his party, and also made the soldiers on Yuan Laoba's side full of momentum.
"Brothers, rush !! me" Yuan Laoba finally regained a little self-confidence, stood on the deck, and commanded the soldiers under his command to rush into Li Tianyang's fleet with all their might.
may be the battle of Bengang more than ten days ago, this is probably the biggest battle of pirates since Xu Hai and Wang Zhi of the Jiajing Dynasty were exterminated.
Different from the previous naval battle, this naval battle, from the very beginning, the two gangs put all their combat strength into it, in the narrow area of this Huludao mouth, eighty or ninety warships collided one after another, and the battle situation entered a white-hot situation from the beginning.
Because of the weakness of his own family, Yuan Laoba cleverly tightened the formation together this time, gathered into a point and killed it towards the gap carved out by the fireship.
On the other hand, Li Tianyang and his side, because they were determined to fight head-on and exterminate Yuan Laoba and his group, they scattered the formation to prevent Yuan Laoba and them from attacking from other directions.
With a cup of tea, Yuan Laoba and they attacked three direct warships, and with concentrated forces, under the outbreak of the pirates like a rainbow, the team members were either slashed to the ground, or abandoned the ships and fled.
Li Tianyang was in the rear, and when he saw that the warships were destroyed by Yuan Laoba and them, and then gradually approached, his heart became more and more calm: "Order, all the Hongtang warships, with me as the center, are all gathered together." ”
The arrangement at the time of the siege of the island was originally to disperse the team that was not too much, although everyone had already prepared, but this time Yuan Laoba was menacing, and the time left for Li Tianyang to transfer troops and punish the generals was insufficient.
However, Yuan Laoba and they also had this opportunity to be angry, and when Li Tianyang and their fleet dragged Yuan Laoba and their offensive, other warships joined in, and the situation would be different again.
