167 Face life and death

"Pass the order down and retreat slowly!"

The brief and eerie tranquility of the battlefield was broken by Hisao Shimazu.

As Samosa's wise general, Shimazu Hisao will not sit back and wait for the Hongmen general to send him to the door, but in the case of the lack of performance of his own warship, it is impossible for him to catch up with the opponent's fleet, and even he does not dare to show his determination to continue to fight to the death, otherwise the opposing commander will inevitably discover his intentions.

Therefore, he took retreat as advance, and made an intention to retreat and escape.

He believed that as long as the commander of the Hongmen fleet wanted a complete end, he would not sit idly by and watch his side easily leave the battlefield.

If you really want to destroy the remnants of your own army, then the Hongmen fleet, which has no long-range ammunition, can only take over the battle, and then it will be time for the more than ten suicide ships around you to show their might.

In order to lure the enemy, and in order to help Satsuma solve the future predicament, Shimazu Hisao has put life and death on the line, and he is ready to fight to the death, while watching his fleet away from the battlefield, he nervously stares at the movement of the Hongmen fleet.

Sure enough, when the remnants of their own army retreated less than a hundred feet, the Hongmen warships on the opposite side collectively raised their sails again and began to launch their horsepower to chase after them.

"Come on, come on! Let's die together in this vast sea! At this time, Shimazu Hisao lost his previous calm, and the whole person became extremely crazy and excited, looking at the Hongmen fleet that was gradually approaching him, and muttered to himself.

Shimazu Hisao sat on the ship, Li Jin surrounded him with three remaining warships of his own pirate group, at this time Li Jin couldn't say what his expression was, with a little dead intent but a calm face, vaguely with a little attachment.

Li Jin, who has worked hard for so many years and seen too many winds and waves at sea, clearly realized that this time he wanted to return to his family in Satsuma safely, and perhaps it was a luxury for the soldiers to return to Samoto safely this time.

When Shimazu Hisao gave the order to retreat, the other pirates and widows may have a surprise in their eyes, but Li Jin's face was extremely calm.

If he was the commander of the Hongmen fleet, he would definitely not let go of this remnant of the defeated army when he had the upper hand. Sure enough, as they retreated, the Hongmen fleet, which had been stagnant for a long time, also raised its sails at the same time and chased after them.

Lu Yu really didn't want to let go of this remnant army, although the total annihilation and defeat were both victories, the charm represented in them was completely different. In particular, Lu Kui came with a heavy responsibility this time, not only to defeat the Japanese sailor in front of him, but also to send a message to the master of this sailor by killing this Japanese sailor, a signal that made the other party feel heavy pressure.

Therefore, if this sailor can be completely annihilated, then Lu Yu believes that the whole of Satsuma will be shaken, and then the mission he has fulfilled will be completed more quickly.

Since the last time he was ambushed by a group of natives, forcing him to almost kill himself, he has become one of the few high-level generals in Hongmen who has been defeated. Although Li Tianyang didn't say anything, Lu Lu was holding his breath in his heart, vowing to get back what he had lost from the battlefield.

Since the defeat, LΓΌ Kui has paid more attention to discussing the battle and plans with the members of the Aircraft Participation Department under his command, and the battlefield has been quiet for a short time, but it is also Lv Que and the Aircraft Participating Office to discuss the gains and losses brought about by the strangulation of the remnants of the Satsuma Army.

In the end, the idea of wanting to build up a full merit and believing in the strength of his fleet prevailed, and most of the members of the wind, including the Aircraft Officer, agreed with the plan to continue to strangle the remnants of the Satsuma army.

Now that the decision to strangle has been made, Lu Yu and the others have left no room for improvement, raising the speed of the "Yang Fan style" string to the limit, like a bow and arrow with a string, under the blowing of the sea breeze, quickly approaching the Satsuma fleet.

Shimazu Hisao stared intently at the opponent who was gradually approaching the remnants of his army, full of nervousness but forced to calmly issue one command after another, and preemptively put out the formation before the Hongmen fleet approached.

The only eight remaining warships were lined up by Shimazu Hisao, and the only suicidal ship in his hands that could inflict heavy damage on the Hongmen fleet was firmly protected by eight warships. Until the end of the entanglement of the Hongmen fleet warships, Shimazu Hisao will never let these more than ten suicide ships show their heads and give the Hongmen fleet a chance to kill first.

Although the suicidal ships turned more flexibly, and the fire oil and other materials carried in the cabin were more threatening to the Hongmen fleet, their hulls were there, and if they were not even stopped by even a 400-hundred-material warship of the Hongmen fleet, it would be a situation where the ship was destroyed and people died, let alone threaten the Hongmen warship.

At this time, the Hongmen fleet occupied an absolute disadvantage in the number of warships from the beginning, and now it has surpassed the number of warships of the Satsuma Navy, and it is definitely impossible for eight Samoto warships to completely intercept the warships of the Hongmen fleet.

Moreover, the size of the Hongmen "Yang Fan" warship itself was several times larger than the main warship in the waters around Daming, but the eight Satsuma warships finally intercepted only six Hongmen "Yang Fan" warships and restricted their movements.

"It's now!!"

Shimazu Hisao's long-awaited opportunity was in front of him, only to see him shouting loudly in his mouth, and at the same time, the signal that had been prepared for a long time rushed into the sky, and more than a dozen suicide ships ready to go behind him rushed over without the slightest hesitation.

At the same time, Lu Yu of the Hongmen fleet also shouted: "It's now!" ”

I saw six sturdy "Yang Fan-style" warships connected by the Satsuma warships with hooks, rowing out an angle with difficulty, and swinging the two warships that were connected together sideways.

At the same time, the remaining Hongmen warships that were not entangled suddenly exerted their strength, and several arm-thick ropes suddenly emerged from under the sea, connecting several entangled Hongmen warships with the rest of the free warships.

The rope was stretched straight all of a sudden, and the speed of several free Hongmen battleships did not decrease, but it was just an extremely fast turn, driving the friendly ships connected by the ropes behind them, and they sailed slowly.

More than a dozen Satsuma suicide ships that had entered from behind were blocked by the suddenly moving warship, and on their side were their own warships, and it would take more effort to get around.

When more than a dozen sea ships readjusted their direction and prepared to bypass the conjoined body of the warship that had begun to sail, they only heard the sound of clicking, but it was the helmsmen of the Hongmen warship who were skilled and bold, and they smashed the Samoto warship that was linked to their own warship straight into the friendly ship beside them, like a knife face, wanting to directly use the powerful armed armor of the friendly ship to smash the entangled Samoto warship!!
