Although the enemy did not pursue, Wu Daofu and the others are now in a dilemma, that is, the direction in which they retreat is indeed contrary to their actual stronghold, Iriomote Island.

They wanted to go back, but Wu Daofu and the others thought they couldn't be sure if this group of pirates would ambush them on the way to come. Although the sea is as flat as ever, just like the pirates almost surrounded them before, there is always a way to make Wu Daofu and them fall for it.

And now the morale of the soldiers is low, and the first time they go to the battlefield, the losses are so heavy that they scare this group of recruits into the point that everyone seems to have lost their souls, and until now they are still immersed in the explosion scene that just now is like the sky and the earth is cracking.

What Wu Daofu couldn't figure out the most was how this group of pirates slipped behind them, and who had the courage to provoke the tiger whiskers of Hongtang, the most powerful team today!

This question doesn't seem to be a big deal, after all, the sea is so big, and you Hongtang is the dominant side, but you can't really let all the pirates listen to you obediently and don't go into your sea area to steal food!

But this time it's different, it's obvious that the purpose of this group of pirates is very clear, that is, they want to serve their new army of Ryukyu sailors, otherwise they won't happen to have this well-planned battle in the waters of their Iriomote Mishima Islands.

The only pity is that the strength of this group of pirates is still a little worse, if they can increase by a third and intercept them in front of Wu Daofu and them, then this time Wu Daofu and they are very likely to not be able to escape this catastrophe.

Of course, this is only an afterthought, after all, this sea area is under the control of Hong Tang, and this group of pirates can sneak into the Iriomote Sea area quietly and set up this ambush without Wu Daofu and them knowing, so it must have taken a lot of energy.

On the way back, Wu Daofu and the others made a big circle, and it was not until midnight that they saw the lights on Iriomote Island, but this light was burning a little hot, and Wu Daofu and they had not yet approached the island stronghold, and they could see a red patch on the horizon of the sea.

"Motherfucker!!" Wu Daofu's heart sank at this time, today's first battle was lost, and the losses were quite large, which did not make Wu Daofu angry, but the crimson light in the sky suddenly made Wu Daofu jump like thunder: "The whole army accelerates, rush up for me!" ”

"Your Excellency!" Xiao Xiurong hurriedly stopped Wu Daofu.

At this time, the night was deep, and although the moonlight in the sky was bright, they could not tell what was going on on Iriomote Island, nor could they know what was going on on the island!

If you rush into the port rashly like this, you can't say that you just fell into the trap of the other party, what happened to Bai Jian today has already shown that this group of pirates is menacing, and the wisdom is not bad, which is not comparable to ordinary pirates. The more this time, the more their team must not panic, otherwise they will end up falling into the calculations of the other party.

"What, you still want to stop me?" Wu Daofu's eyes were scarlet, and he looked at Xiao Xiurong who interrupted him with a murderous expression, and he had the intention of making a move if he didn't agree with him.

"Calm down, sir!" Xiao Xiurong still faced Wu Daofu with an unchanged face, and signaled Wu Daofu to calm down with a resolute look: "You can't see things when it's dark, you can't rush forward, and there are fortifications we built and soldiers left behind on the island, although there are a lot of thieves and robbers seen in the white room today, but the attack is indeed a few points worse, please wait for the sky to get brighter before making a decision!" ”

Wu Daofu looked straight at Xiao Xiurong, his eyes were sharp, and he used this to express his dissatisfaction, and in the end, he didn't know how long it took, and finally retreated in Xiao Xiurong's resolute gaze.

With a long sigh, Wu Daofu said to the team members waiting for his order: "The whole army stops, issue light control, no one can rush in without my orders!" ”

Fang Cai was only angry for a while, and Wu Daofu rashly issued an order for the whole army to advance suddenly, but after being stopped by Xiao Xiurong, Wu Daofu soon calmed down.

Combined with his rich practical experience over the years, although Wu Daofu may not have any qualifications as a famous general, his flexibility of mind is not comparable to that before.

After calming down, he quickly understood Xiao Xiurong's worries, and a cold sweat broke out on his own back, if this remnant of the defeated army really encountered the enemy's ambush, I am afraid that there was really a possibility that the whole army would be defeated.

Moreover, although the island was on fire, as they gradually approached, they could still clearly hear the sound of the attack on the island never stopped, which at least showed that the island stronghold was still in the hands of their own people, and the other party was not able to congratulate their stronghold.

The roar of artillery fire in the distance rang out, and the shouts of killing and wailing came and went, but Wu Daofu, who was close at hand, could only watch the battle scene in front of them, and did not dare to move a single step.

Wu Daofu's whole person can be said to be like a year, for the first time he feels that this time is too full, if the sky is bright at this time, their team will not be so passive.

The sky finally turned white in Wu Daofu's ardent expectation, and the first thing he could see was that Wu Daofu sent a warship to inquire about the news. He was not idle last night, he had already let the speedboat carried by the warship go into the water, and made a detour to land back to the island to find out the news, but until now, the few fast boats sent out have not seen anyone come back, so Wu Daofu's psychology is up and down.

Soon, the warship that went out to reconnoiter returned, bringing Wu Daofu and them a shocking, but not surprising result.

Fifteen thief ships were cruising on the sea outside Iriomote Island, except for a few warships attacking the stronghold on Iriomote Island, the other ships were always aiming at the overseas Wu Daofu and their fleet.

Looking at this trend, although the attack on the island continued last night, most of the strength of this group of pirates was actually shrunk aside, waiting for Wu Daofu and them to go back to the rescue.

Fortunately, Xiao Xiurong stopped it in time at that time, otherwise if Wu Daofu was dizzy for a while and rushed forward with the remnants of the defeated army, Wu Daofu and they would inevitably suffer a big loss, and even the entire army would be wiped out.

However, seeing that Wu Daofu and they didn't fall for last night, the other party's pirates were not worried about Wu Daofu and they dared to attack their own side after the day. Yesterday's design has already caused the new army of the Ryukyu Navy Division to suffer heavy losses, and the gap in the strength of its own troops has made this group of pirates fearless.

Even though the sky was already shining at this time, it was very likely that the pirates on the opposite side would be hit in the back early, but it seemed that they still didn't think about retreating.
