Along the way, Wu Daofu and his fleet were not resisted by the pirates, and they didn't even see much of the pirates, and Hong Tang's fleet had already killed in the sea not far from the main island of the Ryukyu Islands.

Obviously, these pirates had already learned the news of Hongtang's invasion, so the pirates who felt that they couldn't resist Hongtang's attack fled with their men and horses early.

Small gangs also have the advantage of small groups, that is, they are more flexible and free, and when they know that their opponents are too strong, they can easily and willingly give up their sojourn and turn around and lead people to relatively safer seas to develop.

But large and medium-sized pirates can't be so dashing, their transfer of positions requires more cumbersome steps, and greater sacrifices, just their old nest that has been operating for many years has already made them unwilling to fight.

Therefore, Wu Daofu is not worried about the absence of war, everyone has been preparing carefully for so long, although it is naturally excellent to take a sea area without fighting, but if they can show their Hongtang's prestige through several beautiful naval battles, and at the same time test the combat power of Hongtang's newcomers and the power of these Western-style warships, it will make Wu Daofu even more satisfied.

As expected, the further back they went, the more Wu Daofu and their fleet gradually became more and more seagoing ships, needless to say, this must have been sent by the surrounding pirate gangs to inquire about the news and monitor their fleet.

When Wu Daofu's fleet sailed to the target they were aiming at before, that is, the Sea Snake Island that Wu Daofu said when they set off, sure enough, the pirates stationed on Sea Snake Island had not had time to evacuate, or perhaps they themselves did not want to evacuate.

From the telescope, the shrubs on Sea Snake Island were faintly walking and busy, and the sea ships that hurriedly raised their sails and sailed away from the port at the simple dock outside the island, Wu Daofu shook his head, feeling a little excited.

Judging from the actions and responses of these pirates, Wu Daofu felt sorry for the first battle of accepting these sons. At this time, even those weak pirate gangs have gotten the news and fled, and seeing that the preparations of this group of pirates are not as good as those small pirate gangs, then Wu Daofu no longer expects the actual strength of this group of pirates.

It stands to reason that the weaker the enemy, the happier Wu Daofu should be, but Wu Daofu doesn't think so, anyway, this battle is also the first battle of Hongtang's recruits in Hongtang, plus Wu Daofu also wants to try to beat these pirates with Western-style warships like the Dutch beat them Hongtang, and take a good look at the strength of these six new warships, if the opponent is too weak, it really can't show the strength of Hongtang's recruits and new warships.

Maybe this group of pirates dared to stand in front of Hongtang's fleet so arrogantly, and they must have something to serve in their hearts, but Wu Daofu didn't believe that this group of pirates could stand up to the footsteps of Hongtang's warriors. Maybe they are very brave and dare to work hard, but in front of the more well-trained Hongtang players, the final result is always tragic, which is Wu Daofu's undoubted belief.

It's just that Wu Daofu thought of the beginning, but didn't think of the end, when the four pirate warships hurriedly approached the Hongtang fleet and were about to enter the effective range of Hongtang's artillery fire, Wu Daofu's order to hold back his mouth and fire had not yet been issued, but the warship on the opposite side suddenly raised a white flag, making Wu Daofu almost not come up in one breath.

"It's really a bunch of spineless guys, let me look down on them!" failed to start this battle, Wu Daofu was naturally a little disappointed in his heart, and Wu Daofu could only stay for the next time when he looked forward to the new army.

"Lay down the sails, lay down the arms!"

As the four warships approached, the soldiers of the two Hongtang warships in charge of the vanguard stepped forward to interrogate. In Hong Tang's conduct, it is clearly stipulated that any target with a white flag is raised, and Hong Tang is not allowed to attack again, unless the opponent fires first. Therefore, even if the Hongtang soldiers are now grinding their fists and palms more and more and wanting to show their skills, they can only hold their breath and sternly interrogate these wall grasses at this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Hongtang, don't get me wrong, I am Xiong Yi, the leader of the Sea Snake Gang, and I have come to lead my Sea Snake Gang to join the master of Hongtang Li, and I hope that the heroes will be contained!" The person who spoke had a gloomy face, and his appearance was completely different from that of ordinary pirates, and if he wore a coarse cloth coat, he would be the same as an ordinary ordinary person, and he couldn't tell that he would be a murderous pirate.

"Bring him up!" On the "Intrepid" that was slowly approaching, Wu Daofu's breathless voice passed through a distance of several zhang and was clearly transmitted to several approaching sea ships.

"It turned out to be Wu Jiaotou, and the little brother Xiong Yi is here to give you a gift!" From a distance, the sharp-eyed leader of the Sea Snake Gang had already seen who the leader of the team led by Hong Tang was this time, and hurriedly humbly courted him.

"Humph!" Wu Daofu didn't give this guy who was obviously speculating a good face at all.

Obviously, if this guy's idea is that Hong Tang has no plan to go east, or if they are lucky that their sea snake is not chased and strangled by Hong Tang for a while, then he, the head of the house, can have a few more days of leisure. But if it was like today, Hong Tang's army was close to the real one, then he, the master, would not really resist Hong Tang to the end and do a senseless struggle.

As for being like other little pirates, taking the gang to find other places to develop, but it is difficult for them sea snakes to do, after all, their sea snakes seem to have a very large family, and there are too many burdens in Dan puddles, and the wealth they have looted all year round can only barely maintain the expenses of their gang, and they want to open a new base to make a living, I am afraid that most of them will starve to death before the trade is opened.

"Tell your people, let them put down their weapons and accept the command and leadership of our Hongtang soldiers, but if there is resistance, don't blame us for being ruthless!" Wu Daofu's words were stern, and he sprinkled all his depression on Xiong Yi, the former leader of the Sea Snake Gang, who was prostrate: "Also, you go back and quickly organize those old and weak people on your island and say hello to them, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble after we go to the island!" ”

"Yes, yes, I will tell these guys below to do it, and no one will dare to confront you." Xiong Yi cautiously responded to Wu Daofu's order, and then turned his head for a long time to find a henchman and asked him to hurry back to convey the order.

After a long time, the first battle of the new army of the Hongtang Whale Department came to an end under such circumstances.
