At the end of the world, this sentence is also very appropriate between the Hongtang fleet and the Japanese coalition forces that seem to be fleeing and chasing at this time.

Although when Hongtang began to turn to change formations, the fleet of the Japanese Kingdom had already approached Hongtang but a distance of more than 100 zhang, and even when the Hongtang fleet changed direction and began to speed up, seeing that the fastest warships of the other party were only more than ten zhang away from them, and even the faces on the faces of the sailors of each other's warships could be seen clearly, but as time went by, the distance between the two fleets was not gradually narrowed. On the contrary, due to the uneven quality of the fleet, the whole fleet could no longer maintain a complete formation, and gradually opened up the formation.

On the other hand, Hongtang's fleet, up to now, their fleet has not only been able to maintain a whole, but also quite orderly in formation and queue, the six Western-style warships that opened the way in front of the road are in a triangular queue, tearing apart the resistance of the air in front for the Hongtang fleet that follows in the back row, and the warships in the rear are all hiding under the wings of the six Western-style warships, and none of them exceeds the formation supported by the six warships.

After chasing two or three pillars of incense, Huashan Jiugao found that if they continued to chase like this, I am afraid that even if they chase Tianhuang Dilao, they may not be able to catch up with this group of Hongtang fleets. The difference in performance between the warships of the two sides is not small, and it is not a problem that these people can change by relying on their will to fight.

The most important thing is that Huashan Jiugao has found that at this time, there is a disconnect problem with more than 100 warships in their fleet, and the slowest fishing boats are about to lose their shadows, and the ships that can barely follow behind Hongtang's warships at this time are only about 30 ships, and they are not even as large as the number of the opponent's fleet.

If this continues, not only will it be impossible to catch up with the opponent's fleet, but it is even very likely that the opponent will catch up with the problem of their fleet's disjointedness. Although Hisataka Kayama is arrogant, he is not a general without brains, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in his current position.

"Pass my orders and stop the pursuit!" Looking at the long queue dragged into a line behind him, Hisataka Kayama had to give the right order.

"Hey!"

However, Huashan Jiugao woke up in time, but Wu Daofu and they also reacted faster, and the moment they saw the other party's sinking sail slowing down, Wu Daofu and they knew that their plan might be seen by the other party in the air. But it doesn't matter, although the scene at this time did not reach the best effect of Xiao Xiurong and their plan at the airport, it was enough to win a lot of advantages for Hong Tang.

At the same time, the war drums on the "Intrepid" sounded again, and the formation of the Hongtang warship changed again, and in a sharp turn, soon the Hongtang fleet turned its head again and faced the direction of the Japanese fleet.

In this situation, if Haka didn't know what the other party wanted to do, then he would be a fool, although he didn't know why Hong Tang had such confidence to fight them, but this did not prevent him from giving the order with joy, pulling up the speed of the fleet that had been lowered again, and rushing straight towards Hong Tang.

Although the formation of their Japanese alliance has been scattered, but after all, he Kayama Hisaka saw the opportunity early, and the distance between the forward fleet and the ships that fell behind is actually not too far, as long as they give the forward a chance to entangle the Hongtang warship, their rear team can quickly follow up and devote themselves to the attack on Hongtang.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The first thing that greeted more than 30 warships of Huashan Jiugao was the fierce shelling of nearly 50 warships from Hongtang's headquarters, and compared to the random blow just now, the artillery power and accuracy of Hongtang's fleet in front of Huashan Jiugao were a cut higher.

First, because Wu Daofu showed weakness to the enemy at that time, the main gun of General Shenwei carried on the 34 Fu ships did not fire shells, but only used the Qianjin Buddha Lang machine gun on one side of the gun position, so as not to let the large fire of the artillery make Huashan Jiugao and others guarded.

Second, at that time, the fleet of the people of Hisakama and others was still some distance away from the effective range of the Franc cannon, so more shells were affected by the accuracy of artillery fire limited by this era, and fell on the sea, and few could hit the opponent's warship.

At this time, the Hongtang soldiers were no longer clumsy, and the roaring sound brought by the powerful general cannons and all kinds of small cannons caused the Japanese coalition fleet that had rushed to the front of the Hongtang fleet to suffer a heavy blow.

Only more than ten zhang away, the opposite side of the Hongtang warship was already filled with white flowers and water vapor at this time, and the movement in it became blurred, which was the water wave brought by a large number of cannonballs hitting the sea.

By the time the fleet of warships in Huashan Jiugao rushed out of the steam-filled sea area, the original more than 30 warships were suddenly missing four or five warships, and there were still many warships on the body with a lot of holes and damages, and the deck was in a mess, and the smoke of fireworks and gunpowder was diffused in the middle.

At this moment, when the people of Kayama Jiugao were still shocked by the powerful artillery of the Hongtang warship, fifty Hongtang warships did not hesitate to kill the Japanese warships that were close at hand, but it looked like they were going to fight hand-to-hand with their Japanese coalition forces.

"Good come, brave samurai, it's time for such Hongtang warriors to see the strength of our Shimazu family samurai!" Although he was taken aback by the power of Hong Tang's artillery fire, but at this time, seeing that Hong Tang gave up their strengths, and instead prepared to approach their warship to fight a string battle, this was what Kayama Hisaka was most willing to see, at this time, his contempt for Hong Tang, a pirate organization, was gone, but looked at the other party respectfully, drew the sword on his waist and waited quietly for Hong Tang's arrival.

"Idiot!!"

Wu Daofu stood on the deck of the "Intrepid", looked at the group of hot-blooded and indignant Japanese warriors opposite, and said disdainfully.

At the same time, the warships of the Wa Kingdom, which had already prepared for the battle with Hongtang, saw that the more than 50 warships that were rushing straight towards them made an extremely flexible turn, and they actually passed by their warships by a fraction of a centimeter, and when the Wa sailors reacted and threw out rows of hooks and cables, in a vain attempt to stop the opponent's warships, they were cut off by the Hongtang soldiers who had been waiting for a long time.

And, when they staggered, the Franc cannons on the flanks of the Hongtang warship were once again powerful, but this time their target was not the hull and deck of the warship, but a few towering masts on the deck.

With a strange whistling sound, a lead bullet was worn at both ends of the shot, and an iron lock chain bullet was pulled in the middle to draw a hole in the sail of the warship of the Japanese warship, and then the hard sail of the Japanese ship lost its pulling force and involuntarily floated down, covering the deck of the Japanese ship.
