35 Yuan Laoba's choice
The Hongtang group over there, after discussing the plan, Yuan Laoba here is not idle, this battle also made Yuan Laoba and others look at the combat power of Hongtang's forces with admiration, and the previous contempt is gone.
Hong Tang suffered heavy losses, and Yuan Laoba and his group were even more than them.
In hand-to-hand combat, Yuan Laoba and his group, who were on the offensive side, had not undergone any training in cooperation, and the reason why they were able to suppress Hong Tang to fight was not because of the actual combat skills that so many brothers had trained in years of fighting at the end of the year! However, with the well-trained cooperation of the Hongtang team, for every Hongtang member they killed, they had to die more than one.
If it weren't for the fact that when Yuan Laoba organized a fleet to chase after Hongtang, in order to kill him in one battle, nearly half of the more men were sent to each of the chasing warships, and the battle damage alone would have caused Yuan Laoba and them, who had never been able to fight against the wind, all collapse.
But even if the overall combat strength is nearly 1/2 more, Yuan Laoba and their battle is still so difficult, and even many warships are still at a disadvantage, if it is not for their follow-up troops to follow in the end, if they really want to fight again, they may win no more than half.
More than 600 people were killed in the battle, and there were more than 500 serious injuries, and there was no need to count the minor injuries.
And after this battle, there were some discordant arguments in the team, especially in their own pro-faith, a bone that was so difficult to gnaw, was it really necessary for them to be so bad with others?
Although Hongtang suffered a lot of losses this time, he was captured by Yuan Laoba and his three warships, and there were more than 100 corpses and prisoners on board. However, it has only been more than a year since the strong rise of this Hongtang, even if they have just emerged to the present, it has only been more than two years, and they have such ability to wrestle with these bandits who have been doing it for more than ten years.
If you can't wipe out the team this time and lay down their nest, you will offend them miserably, let the family develop for a few more years, and wait until the strength grows again, then will people let them go? ?
Speaking of total annihilation, it must be impossible, with the current speed of their fleet, they can't catch up with other people's fleets at all, otherwise they won't be teased by others for a few days. In that case, then why bother to provoke the other party and make unwise choices!!
But Yuan Laoba doesn't think so, his ambition has always been very big, he has been engaged in pirates for so many years, what kind of characters he has never seen, what kind of wind and rain he has not experienced. From the day he did this business, his idol and the target he chased were the two pirate giants Xu Hai and Wang Zhi in the previous dynasty, who were heroes in an era.
Therefore, Hongtang is a stumbling block, he must be eradicated, especially after this naval battle, after seeing Hongtang's combat power, Yuan Laoba's mood is more urgent, if they are given another chance to grow, then will he have a chance to develop Yuan Laoba in the future?
If you don't take advantage of the fact that Hongtang's strength is still weak now, and kill them in the cradle, when will it be!!
The dead and wounded brothers, the lost warships, are not in Yuan Laoba's consideration now, what he is thinking about now is how to eliminate this group of bandits.
"It seems that only by attacking their lair can we force them to fight us!!" Yuan Laoba discussed with Lao Yi for a long time, and finally could only come up with such a solution.
"Pass my order, all ships, turn the bow, the direction is due east, and the target is Ben Harbor on Dayuan Island!!" Now that he has made up his mind, Yuan Laoba is not a procrastinator, so he made a decision immediately.
It's just that their fleet, now the speed has dropped a lot, Hongtang's guy is too obscene, he doesn't care about the rules of the rivers and lakes at all, this time he started to attack this sail, nearly twenty warships have been poisoned by them, although they found more than a dozen cotton cloth from the supplies for emergency, and there are other ships to help tow, but this speed is still inevitably lowered a lot.
At this speed, it would take at least five to six days to sail to Ben Harbor. At the beginning of Li Tianyang's efforts to lure Yuan Laoba, his purpose was very clear, he must lure Yuan Laoba and them away from Bengang. Therefore, in the past two days and nearly three days of pursuit, Li Tianyang and them have already passed the boundary of Qishatou until they attracted Yuan Laoba and them to the west.
Regardless of whether these pirates are reluctant or not, so far, Yuan Laoba is still their leading big brother, and his strength is still the strongest in this coalition army, and now that he has given the order, the entire team can only move towards the east under his command.
"Report!!"
When Li Tianyang was discussing, someone knocked at the door, and Li Tianyang looked up: "Come in." ”
"Report to the battalion master, monitor Yuan Laoba's warship and send a message, saying that after the other party rests for a while, he will lead the team to the east."
"Okay, can you tell where their specific goal is?"
"They didn't say it."
"Got it."
Also, Yuan Laoba's nest and Li Tian's nest are due east, judging from the current positions of both of them, so it is difficult to judge what Yuan Laoba's specific goal is.
"Okay, let's go down and get ready, no matter what the other party wants to do, we have to be prepared." From the bottom of his heart, Li Tianyang was convinced that Yuan Laoba would turn to attack Bengang, so he didn't believe that just by virtue of this battle that did not hurt the opponent's strength, he would make the other party retreat.
"Yes!!"
The captain below answered categorically, and his voice was full of murder.
Although Li Tianyang was defeated in this battle, the death of his companions and friends, as well as the arrogance in everyone's hearts, made them full of expectations and vigorous desire to fight with Yuan Laoba and them again, which was what Li Tianyang expected to see, he didn't want his carefully cultivated team to lose confidence and courage in the face of a little setback.
In yesterday's battle, three or four hundred people died at once, which was the largest casualty of Li Tianyang's team since its establishment, and Li Tianyang's partners and relatives who played together from childhood to adulthood were also indispensable. But they are no longer the original teenager who was overly sad and chaotic after only losing a few comrades-in-arms, what they have experienced over the years, what they have seen, let everyone grow, even if they have lost their most important relatives, they have learned to bury their grief deep in their hearts, and hold back enough energy to avenge them.
It's just that in this way, it seems that when everyone faces this matter, it seems to be a little dull, and there is no longer the innocent love that overflowed with the face at the beginning. Perhaps, this is growth, the more things you have experienced, the more you have experienced, it will always make everyone's once pure heart covered with dust, maybe in the future, when everyone faces such things again, they will be accustomed to it, and there will be no waves.
It's a sad story, I forgot to update, and when I looked back, it was past 12 o'clock, and I didn't know if I could get full attendance by exchanging points for a leave slip!!
