The futility of the Flying Dragon Messenger also means that the Hongmen Fleet is going to send troops this time, and under the influence of Chinese culture, Li Tianyang and them always unconsciously put their identity on the side of righteousness, as if doing so will bring more benefits.

The sea was turbulent, and the five thousand soldiers of Hongmen were ready to go, and they rode sixty warships in the direction of the Ryukyu Pirate Zone, and killed the generals with great momentum.

The entire figure related to the South China Sea has paid attention to this battle of the century between the new and the old.

The Flying Dragon Gang was cowering in the waters around their lair, and more than 50 warships protected their small island tightly, looking like they were completely defending.

If it were other opponents, Yan Zheng and they would not be so cautious, with their personalities, they have never been a person who can hold back their anger. However, this time their opponent was the long-famous Hongmen, and the various experiences of Hongmen in the past were not comparable to third-rate pirates like Gong Zhuyi, not to mention that they had repelled powerful Westerners.

Seven days later, the Hongmen fleet stepped into the waters of the Flying Dragon Gang, and after a long journey, there was no time to rest, and a group of more than 20 warships of the Flying Dragon Gang cruised near the Hongmen fleet, entangled them endlessly.

The gangs that can develop in a short period of time all have their own advantages, knowing that in terms of strength and number comparison, the Hongmen fleet seems to be stronger than their own, but they are really going to war, and Yan Zheng and they have not been cowardly.

The artillery fire continued, and the fleets of the Flying Dragons came to harass the Hongmen Fleet, which was at a complete disadvantage in terms of numbers, so they didn't think about what to do with the Hongmen Fleet from the beginning, but just fired the artillery fire from more than 20 warships of the fleet towards the Hongmen Fleet round after round.

It is worthy of the Hongmen guards, the gang that is the best at using firearms, and the artillery fire carried on the more than 20 warships of the Feilong Fleet, in terms of scale and power, is no less than the strength of the 400 main warships before the Hongmen Fleet was reorganized.

Li Tianyang's boat was surrounded in the middle, and he observed the opposite fleet from the telescope, and I have to say that the other party's hand was really beautiful, and he grasped the shortcomings of the current Hongmen fleet, so that he wanted to fight back, but he really couldn't come up with an opponent who could compete with the other party.

The number of artillery guns carried on sixty warships is not small, but the thousand-pound Francophone guns and steel-cast cannons that can be used as the main guns are only seventy or eighty when they are fully fired. Other small cannons that can only fire four or five catties of cannonballs, even if they hit the opponent's warship, the destructiveness caused by it is almost useless in terms of the thickness of the armor of the other warship.

But if you just ignore the opponent's warship, it is not a matter, Li Tianyang turned around and said a few words to the soldiers behind him, and after a while, thirty Hongmen warships with flexible speed separated from the fleet, scattered and galloped away where the opponent's fleet was.

The opponent's warship can be selected as the main force of the Hongmen fleet, and its strength and performance are beyond doubt, Zheng Zhilong has dealt with the Dutch, and even learned the Dutch sea tactics at close range, so it can be said that the naval combat tactics of the Flying Dragon Gang are under the command of the Dutch, and combined with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty sea ships themselves, the driven Wyvern warships can still shoot sporadically at the Hongmen fleet from time to time, bringing damage to the Hongmen warships.

Once upon a time, only the Hongmen fleet would make others deflated, but now it is good, for the first time, they feel the anger of being teased by others.

It was not easy to expel the Wyvern Gang warships from this sea area, but when they turned around, these guys came out of other places again, and they didn't get close, they just harassed the Hongmen fleet with artillery fire from a distance.

After the other party experienced the strength of the warships of the Hongmen fleet, he did not seek to enter the effective range of the artillery, Ning Yuan shot at an elevation angle, looking at God's face and his own luck, Lian Fan poured the shells into the sea area through which the Hongmen fleet passed.

Not to mention, as the so-called blind cat collided with a dead mouse, their harassment at any cost not only put a lot of pressure on the Hongmen fleet, but also had the results of the battle: not to mention the occasional casualties among the soldiers, there have been three warships with varying degrees of water seepage, even if they are remedied in time, when they reach the battlefield, the strength of these three warships will be discounted.

If the expulsion of the opponent's fleet failed several times, Li Tianyang simply gave up the idea of expelling the other party, turned his head to the location of the Flying Dragon Gang's lair, and hurried away.

The warships carefully selected by the Flying Dragon Gang are on par with the performance of the Hongmen 400 warships, and the sailors who operate the boats on it are the elite men of Li Dan's sea lord, and their strength is undoubted, plus the number and power of the artillery that are now slightly higher than the Hongmen warships, as long as they don't want to fight head-on, it really makes the Hongmen fleet unable to start.

Li Tianyang regretted it a little, it seems very inappropriate to rush out of troops this time, he ate a little turtle at the beginning, and when he arrived at the opponent's land after a while, he didn't know what kind of tactics the other party would have!

After more than a day of continuous artillery fire, a small island appeared in the distant sea, and the warships cruising around it were endless.

This small island, which was once an unknown point in the South China Sea, has finally attracted attention today because it was favored by the Wyvern Gang as their foothold on the sea.

The size of the island is actually not large, for the Flying Dragon Gang, they rely more on supplies from Shizuura, Wa Kingdom and Daming Inland Supply, the size of the island is actually nothing, as long as the thousands of people of the Flying Dragon Gang can have a place to live in the stormy season.

Because there is no Hongmen, the cheating is generally cement resources, and the island has been occupied by the Flying Dragon Gang for a year or two, and the buildings on it are more of local bamboo and wood buildings, and there are not even a few basic fortifications.

Therefore, in this naval battle, the Wyvern Gang can almost be said to have half-abandoned the island, and only arranged for only a few hundred gangs to resist the Hongmen fleet on it, and the rest of the men all went around the island by boat to confront the Hongmen fleet.

Of course, in addition to hundreds of gangs on the island, there are also a large number of Flying Dragon Gang family members on it, but Yan Zheng and the others are not worried at all that Hongmen will attack their island lair.

Although the family members on the island are considered a weakness of the Flying Dragon Gang, they belong more to the pirate families they later annexed, and the families of their own henchmen elite warriors were placed by them in the safer Jingpu Harbor, after all, the life there is more superior, and Yan Siqi can only make Zheng Zhilong have scruples through these family members!
