34 What a loss
"So where are we now, and how long have I been in a coma?" Although Liu Wang is sad in his heart, he is not a master who does not know the importance of the matter, although there are many companions and friends who have died, after all, he still survived most of them, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
"Don't worry, we have already escaped from the encirclement, the gang of thieves has been left behind by us, and at their current speed, it is impossible to catch up with us." Chunmei wiped away the tears on her face and comforted Liu Wang softly: "It's you, who has suffered so many injuries and shed too much blood, this coma is a whole night, but it frightens me." ”
"All night?" Liu Wang muttered to himself, his heart was like ashes.
At the same time, Li Tianyang Zhengyuan on the Shark stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, and gathered with Wu Shu, Wu Hu and other ordinary captains to discuss the success or failure of this battle.
"In this battle, our side lost three warships, killed 307 people, lost 125 people, seriously wounded 283 people, and slightly injured countless people." Wu Shu reported the results of the night's statistics to the captains present, and every time he said a number, the hearts of the members present trembled.
In this battle, Li Tianyang's heart of underestimating the enemy that he had been worried about was still inevitable, and even he himself had this problem, otherwise there would not have been such a fiasco that was not a fiasco. If Li Tianyang was a little more safe, he would take Yuan Laoba and his group of pirates around for a while longer, and throw their reinforcements away for a distance, I can't say that Li Tianyang and they would already start to celebrate now. Or maybe Li Tianyang was a little more decisive, and when he realized that Yuan Laoba was a piece of fat that was difficult to gnaw, he resolutely retreated, instead of waiting until everyone was exhausted and at the last moment, he didn't think of retreating in the future, and there would be no such huge losses.
And their team members, in the two days of fighting at the beginning of the war, have been playing with the Yuan Laoba team, so they are already very proud in their hearts, and they look down on this group of pirates who have been molested by them. But what I never expected was that people were teased by them at the beginning, not because Li Tianyang had effective tactics, and they had been out of the range of their many artillery, except for the more than ten general cannons on the bow of the ship that could shoot, it was difficult for other cannons to hit Li Tianyang and his party; Moreover, most of the cannons of the people are also placed on both sides, if you want to use them, you have to be like the Hongtang warship, from time to time to turn to hit the horizontal before they can be launched, in this way, doesn't it delay them to catch up with the footsteps of Hongtang and the gang?
What they didn't expect was that when Hong Tang decided to fight with others, they showed their hideous colors. As soon as the war started, the firearms that people had accumulated for a long time were finally able to vent out to Hongtang's team, and the divine fire crows, cluster rockets, etc. were themselves the sharp weapons of the Daming Sailors, but now they were mastered by a group of pirates, and they were vented to the head of Hongtang's fleet like a meteor shower, and the firearms such as the Franc machine gun, the bird gun, and the three-eyed gun were also more than double the number on Hongtang's side, and they also fired at the same time, forcing Li Tianyang to give up the plan to fight and turn to hand-to-hand combat.
This round of long-range bombing has made these proud and arrogant guys under Hongtang suffer enough, it is precisely because of their arrogance that when the battle was fought, most of the team members looked nervous and solemn, but in fact, they were slack and stood on the deck to prepare, but they happened to be hit by the sudden burst of firearm firearms.
Although most of the firearms fell into the sea because of the accuracy of this era, the few firearms that were lucky enough to shoot hit the Hongtang team member who was standing on the deck beat one person on his back and overturned him, killing and injuring a lot.
And when they entered the hand-to-hand battle, the team cooperation that Hongtang team members have always been proud of, under the strong attack of Yuan Laoba and his gang of pirates, they were a little stretched. They forgot one thing, with the expansion of the team, now their teammates, most of them are re-recruited newcomers, although everyone has never slacked off in daily training in the past year, but compared with the previous team members, there is a little less tacit understanding and trust, and where will it be the opponent of this group of bandits!
"In this battle, I was derelict in my duties, and on the premise that we did not do a good job in our preparations, I rashly started a war with Yuan Laoba and his gang, which caused the current losses!" Li Tianyang has not rested since he retreated, and his whole person looks a little haggard.
After a battle, the team that was finally pulled out was buried by them by nearly 1/3, and anyone who wanted to leave it would be distressed. Among them, the most striking blow to Li Tianyang was that the team they were hesitant and thought they had won was defeated by a group of loose and free pirates who only knew the strength of blood and bravery, so if they really had to face those well-trained troops, the Hongtang team didn't know what an unbearable situation it would be!
But it's okay, these days have been smooth sailing, so that the Bengang camp from top to bottom is filled with a sense of pride that is the first in the world, rather than facing a stronger enemy in the future, after paying a greater price, I know this reason, this time I was drunk by Yuan Laoba and they were beaten up with a stick, and it was worth paying a little price.
"Camp master, how can I blame you for this, we are all responsible. If we hadn't underestimated our opponents from our hearts, we wouldn't have been beaten by other people's firearms; We didn't expect that this Yuan Laoba and his group, who are not visible and do not show water, still have so many controlled firearms hidden! After this blow, everyone finally began to introspect and began to self-examine.
"That is, we are too arrogant, after one impact into the opponent's warship, we are a little underestimated by the enemy, and in the end, we were almost beaten through our defenses by others with bravery, which is really ashamed......"
"Okay, now is not the time for a review, everyone wants to review, and when we go back, we will have a separate meeting to discuss it. Now the question is, what do we do next? Li Tianyang interrupted everyone's self-responsibility and led the topic to business: "In my estimation, now Yuan Laoba and his gang of pirates, after we burned many sails, are nothing more than the following two choices. ”
"First, turn around and attack our Bengang camp, after all, even if they want to chase us now, they are beyond their strength and can only be shot by us like kites."
"Second, while their losses are not very large and they have no worries about food and supplies, they will go home. After seeing our combat effectiveness, they will also assess in their hearts whether they have the ability to defeat our Bengang camp. ”
"I think they may attack our base camp, although they have suffered a little loss at sea, but compared to us, their overall strength is still there, they have gathered so many people here, if they don't get something to go, they will definitely not stop!" Wu Shu sat on the side, thinking about it and saying what he was thinking.
"I don't think so, just with their manpower, if they want to defeat our stupid port, it's just like saying a book from heaven!" He Yong, Wu Hu and others did not agree with Wu Shu's point of view, in their opinion, as long as there was no problem with their brains, these pirates of thousands of men and horses would definitely not run to attack a camp that they knew was impossible to take.
"That's not necessarily, our camp is so hidden, and the management is extremely strict, how can they know the situation in such a camp..."
I started to have a recommendation today, and I don't know if this effect is good, so I'm happy, from writing the book to now, there are only a handful of recommendations.
