56 Utilized Knives
The warships on Hongtang's side, hearing Li Tianyang's order, came from all around in a short time, forming a thick wall in front of the Shark, waiting for the approaching Yuan Laoba warship.
It's just that the warships belonging to Li De and their mad sharks have been indifferent, and they are still scattered in the surrounding seas, leaving a lot of gaps.
As for the warships of the Penghu Naval Division, although Commander Cao said beautifully, he listened to the command of all actions, and handed over everything to Li Tianyang's leadership, those were just Lao Cao's words. This is really a war, and all the ships of the sailors have run to the back of the fleet, faintly with the intention of avoiding the battle.
Li Tianyang is also very helpless, whether it is his father or Cao's commander, no one can be moved by him, it is a good thing for them to cooperate, if they don't cooperate, he can't.
Yuan Laoba has been able to crisscross the South China Sea for so many years, and it is not in vain that he is standing on the top of the tail cabin, and he has already discovered the incoordination of this fleet. Therefore, with a wave of his hand, the entire fleet, led by a dozen or so warships in front of them, shifted slightly to the left at an angle, and the general would bypass the wall formed by Hongtang and rush towards the mad shark fleet scattered on the left.
Looking at the entire battle situation from the sky, you can see that although on the whole, the strength of the coalition army formed by Li Tianyang and them is far greater than the strength of Yuan Laoba's fleet. But in the actual battle, the formation of an arrow-shaped Yuan Lao Ba fleet was able to fight more and less in local battles, before the scattered Shark warships were concentrated, Yuan Lao Ba relied on the more than ten elite warships they rushed to the front row as quickly as possible to tear apart the position on the side of the mad shark, towards the encirclement, and rushed forward bravely.
Li Tianyang wanted to rescue Li De's declining situation on their side, but the behemoth that had formed a ship formation wanted to move, in addition to needing enough space, it was really difficult to move around.
As for the naval division's warships, there was still no need to count on them, except for harassing Yuan Laoba and their warships with long-range weapons such as bows and arrows from a distance, as soon as the naval division's fleet saw Yuan Laoba and them killing to the left, they had already panicked and gave way to the left side of the sea and withdrew the fleet to the right.
In the end, Yuan Laoba and the others still broke out of Li Tianyang's encirclement, and the price they paid was that the rear formation behind them was tightly bitten by Li De's fleet that came back to their senses, plus the Hongtang fleet that came to support later, at least nearly half of the fleet was bitten by Li Tianyang.
However, this is also in Yuan Laoba's expectations, most of the warships that were bitten were Yuan Laoba's fishing boats, cargo ships and other purposes on their island, and their performance in all aspects was inferior to that of warships, but for this battle, Yuan Laoba and they had to piece together into the fleet to enrich their scarce fleet.
"Brothers, the wind is tight!!"
Finally broke out of the encirclement, Yuan Laoba's tense heartstrings finally loosened, looked at the nearly half of the warship behind him that fell into the encirclement of the other party and failed to rush out, he shouted a sentence expressionlessly, and finally glanced at Huludao, which was blocked by the shark warship behind him, and walked towards the vast sea with the rest of the fleet.
However, not all the warships were willing to follow Yuan Laoba, and many of the warships that rushed out were kept in the dark by Yuan Laoba.
Originally, according to what Yuan Laoba said when he organized the battle at that time, he just wanted to let the mad shark see the strength of their Huludao and let them know that Huludao was not so easy to attack.
Next, it is to bargain with the mad shark, surrender for all of them, and join the mad shark to reap certain benefits.
When Yuan Laoba said this at that time, he was sincere, and the most important thing was that his expression at that time was indeed disheartened, and he no longer had the ambition of the original overlord.
This is the reason why everyone can muster up the courage and do their best to fight such a battle with the mad shark fleet regardless of casualties.
The experience of being besieged for four or five days is actually just the right time for everyone to think, and there are many smart people among the pirates, although the island tries its best to hide the problems of food and materials, but as long as you have the heart, and a little rough knowledge of arithmetic, it is not difficult to calculate the food gap that the entire Huludao needs on this day.
As long as an outsider knows the secret in this regard, the secret is no longer a secret, and it didn't take long for these news related to everyone's livelihood to spread throughout Huludao.
There is no way forward, and there is no way back, for the sake of the family on the island and their own safety, the last thing everyone can think of is to surrender.
Therefore, when Yuan Laoba said that he would fight first, show off his muscles, and then talk to the mad shark about the conditions of surrender, everyone's last enthusiasm and desire to fight were all stimulated by Yuan Laoba.
They thought very simply, Yuan Laoba's family has a big business, and the group of wives and concubines on the island and the mountains of treasures can't run away, as long as these are there, Yuan Laoba's sincerity in surrendering must be true.
But everyone underestimated the viciousness of a hero, in order to stabilize everyone and let everyone be deceived by his words, Yuan Laoba quietly picked up his most beloved wives and concubines and all his children on the boat, and even the treasures on the island were distributed by him to the henchmen who were willing to flee with him, and he did not take them away at all.
At this time, Yuan Laoba suddenly said that he would not return to the island, but led the team to flee, and many warship owners and pirates were stunned, which was different from the original plan!
Yuan Laoba and the others were not ambiguous at all, regardless of the hesitation of the many fleets behind them, but took the more than ten warships that they had already known the details to the east alone.
Yuan Laoba also knew that many of the stopped warships behind him were either pirates who had just been recruited, or there were people whose families were all on the island, and they would not follow him away at all, in this case, it was better to leave them in the middle of the road as a force to stop the pursuit of the mad shark!
Yuan Laoba's reversal made many fleets that fell into Li Tianyang's battle formation wake up, and it turned out that this time everyone was tricked by Yuan Laoba again and became his accomplices in breaking through. The remorseful pirates gave up their resistance, threw away their weapons, and sat on their knees.
They can't help but not surrender, this time they were pitted by Yuan Laoba, and when they fought, they were quite brave, just to let Li Tianyang and them see the most fierce and brave side of everyone, and pave the way for the next surrender.
As soon as Yuan Laoba fled, everyone's initial plan came to naught, and he became his right-hand man in Yuan Laoba's escape.
In this way, as most of the pirates gave up resistance, Li De and Li Tianyang and their teams were finally able to send a team to chase after the fleeing Yuan Laoba and his gang while cleaning up the mess.
However, on the way, they met eight or nine hesitant pirate ships that dragged back, and after these warships were dealt with, Yuan Laoba and their warships had disappeared into the vast sea.
