Yuan Laoba and the others were defeated, and they were defeated in a mess, just a partial division of Hongtang, which made his proud own brothers and the huge sailor team united by many pirates rout and fled.

In the end, Yuan Laoba still survived, because it was already night, and in the end, their pirate team was driven from the central battlefield to the edge by the Hongtang warriors in the head-to-head duel, and many pirates finally had no way to retreat and fell into the sea one after another.

Yuan Laoba was forced away by his brothers, and when no one took care of him as a temporary commander in the night, Li Jin and Lao Yi and other henchmen desperately grabbed Yuan Laoba, who was wielding a long knife and wanted to go up and fight with Hongtang, dragged him onto a very marginal warship, broke away from the war zone, and fled back to the territory of the Japanese coalition army at night.

Leaving with them, naturally, the pirates in Yuan Laoba's gang who were still alive were indispensable, and the first person who thought of notifying the gang before leaving must be the person closest to him. Although Yuan Laoba sacrificed himself for others and sacrificed a lot of people in his gang before, their team itself was the most powerful of this improvised team, otherwise Yuan Laoba would not be able to command these pirates from all over the world.

Therefore, among the pirates who finally grabbed the ship and escaped, five or six out of ten were still members of Yuan Laoba's gang.

After losing the temporary command of Yuan Laoba, and Yuan Laoba's gang took the lead in escaping, the entire pirate team could no longer hold on, and suddenly fell apart and dispersed into birds and beasts.

Of course, because the strength of the Japanese army is still there, since they accepted the recruitment of others, except for a small number of pirates who felt that the Japanese had no future and left, including the people of Yuan Laoba's gang also fled back to the Amami Walled City, where the Japanese army was.

Fortunately, it was already dark at this time, and it was not easy for Hongtang Zhao Xingdou and them to fight at night, which also made Yuan Laoba and other pirates suffer a lot less losses. If it were during the day, Hongtang's team would have chased after the defeated and fled pirate warship, and the pirates would have to lose a lot of warships before they could escape back to Amami Island.

But even so, Hong Tang's harvest is always great, not to mention that the more than ten thief ships in the middle of the battlefield that could not move because of the crowding all fell into the hands of Hong Tang's soldiers, and in this battle from afternoon to night alone, the number of pirates killed was no less than a thousand.

In this battle, the grenade played a great role, as an important weapon to cut off the connection between the front and rear armies of the pirates, the grenades used repeatedly not only blocked the pirates' successive attack waves, but also the powerful lethality was also shocking.

When he hit the back, as long as he found that the Hongtang warriors in front of him were throwing things, the pirates opposite him panicked like a conditioned reflex, and even the actions of resisting the Hongtang warriors showed a lot of flaws, allowing the Hongtang warriors to easily slash to the ground.

In addition, after all these years of polishing, the Hongtang soldiers are no longer the original Wuxia Ameng, whether it is combat or cooperation, they have thrown off the group of opponents in front of them, and they are not merciful when they kill people.

After the battle, the results of the battle were counted, and there were more than 700 pirate corpses collected from the deck alone, and more than 400 pirates who were wounded and surrendered; As for those who fell into the sea, except for those who climbed back onto the boat by themselves, or shouted for help in the sea, because it was dark, those pirates who had no other actions, the Hongtang team members really didn't have time to care about them, so they were left to fend for themselves in the sea.

In the end, Yuan Laoba and the others fled back to Shimazu Hisao's military camp on Amami Island in embarrassment, bringing shocking bad news to Shimazu Hisao and them.

Shimazu Hisao thought that the advantage of warships and numbers was nearly doubled, and it was not to let the pirates fight Hong Tang head-on, but just to restrain the other party and prevent them from harassing the siege of himself and others.

However, Shimazu Hisao didn't expect one thing, that is, he didn't use people properly, and he didn't know how much resentment Yuan Laoba had for Hongtang, otherwise he would not be willing to give up his position as a hero and come to accept Samosa's recruitment.

It was precisely because of Yuan Laoba as the commander that there was a flaw in the plan he designed, and it was only the first day, and their advantage on the sea was gone.

When they finally regained the pirate manpower, and then counted the warships that had not been sent out before, the only warships they had at this moment could only be on par with the Hongtang fleet at most, but when it came to combat effectiveness, it would be ............

After this naval battle, Shimazu Hisao's combat effectiveness against Hongtang has improved a lot, and the spirit and quality of the pirate fleet have been tested by Shimazu Hisao, even if they are taken to their Wa Kingdom, in this country where there are not many regular sailors in the entire Wa Kingdom, this pirate fleet is also a country where there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king, I am afraid that in today's Wa Kingdom, there is no team that is better at naval warfare than this pirate fleet.

But it was such a fleet, and in just one afternoon, it was crushed head-on by more than 20 warships of Hongtang's partial division, and suffered heavy losses. From the mouths of these pirates, Shimazu Hisao learned about the causes and consequences of this naval battle, although he was a little annoyed and angry at Yuan Laoba's recklessness and initiative to provoke a decisive battle, but to be honest, even if Shimazu Hisao himself was in Yuan Laoba's position and seized such a good opportunity, it is impossible to say that he himself may not be able to firmly implement the plan of Yu Hongtang's fleet.

"It doesn't matter, relying on our existing warships, we can still confront and contain the Hongtang fleet at sea, let's not take a temporary victory or defeat as a conclusion, and then we need General Yuan to continue to command!" Although he was angry in his heart, the number of pirate warriors and warships who had escaped back was still the largest in Yuan Laoba's gang, so Shimazu Hisao, who still needed to rely on Yuan's gang at this time, still held on to his polite expression and comforted Yuan Laoba, who had lost his soul and was depressed, as if he had aged several years all of a sudden.

"............" Yuan Laoba was silent, in a daze, and did not give Shimazu Hisao any reply.

Lao Yi is still alert, seeing the anger on Shimazu Hisao's face flashing away, he hurriedly said: "General rest assured, since our big boss has served this rice bowl, he will not be half-hearted and have other ideas." ”

While speaking, Lao Yi quietly pulled Yuan Laoba's sleeve, and seeing that he still didn't react, Lao Yi could only continue: "This time in the battle with the Hongtang people, the general can go and ask, whether our boss has preserved his strength and let others go to death, many critical times, it is our own people who go to the top, and we are the ones who sacrifice the most!" ”

Lao Yi's words are also true, because Yuan Laoba is selfish, and in this naval battle with Hong Tang, the loss of their team can be said to be the first of many pirates. And these empirical evidence, when Shimazu Hisao communicated with the pirates, he also knew a lot, and when he heard Lao Yi say this, his face was a little brighter, but he looked at Yuan Laoba's eyes, still with dissatisfaction.
