164 head-to-head
"Hmph, it's finally time for you guys to fight hard!"
On a "Yang Fan-style" battleship, Lu Yu stood calmly in the stern, holding the newly reconstructed binoculars, looking at the former boss who appeared in the tube, but his mouth spat out cold-blooded and ruthless words.
At the beginning, Lu Kui and his brothers were regarded as an outcast by Yuan Laoba, and he said that he would give up, and it was false to say that there was no resentment in his heart; But if you think about it carefully, in the past few years under Yuan Laoba, Lu Yu and them actually had a good life, and some of their affection was also true.
But at this moment, there was no emotion in Lu Yu's eyes, and the whole person only saw the calmness and cold-bloodedness when the prey was hooked.
Since he took refuge in Li Tianyang, Lu Lu never thought about living up to Li Tianyang's trust in him, the most important thing for the children of the rivers and lakes is the word Xinyi, not to mention that after being damaged by the Lake tribe last time, Li Tianyang still did not see himself, and he had a little more loyalty to Li Tianyang in his heart.
What's more, Lu Yu also has selfish intentions, seeing that Hongmen's strength is getting bigger and bigger, and the slim hope in his heart is slowly burning, how could he give up his current status because of these former colleagues in front of him who have long been indifferent with time!
After absorbing the excellent experience of Western naval warfare, when it comes to how artillery was used in naval warfare and how to give full play to its own advantages, it can be said that Hongmen threw off a large part of the entire eastern countries at this time.
Li Jin and Wang Sanbao began to work hard, but in Lu Yu's opinion, there seemed to be no other change except that the targets in front of them were more and better to aim.
Whether it is SF's headwind, the advantage of more than ten sails on a Western-style warship, and the sailors of at least 200 people on the "Yang Fan-style" warship, it is always easy for them to change direction and exert force to throw aside the opponent who is chasing behind them, and then aim at the target unhurriedly and concentrate fire.
It wasn't until two hours later that the arrival of more than 100 large and small sea ships from the nearest Samoto territory finally gave the Samoto sailors who were struggling to chase the Hongmen fleet a chance to breathe.
Relying on the advantages of small hull and good flexibility, the reinforcements that came from Samoto from afar were like a big net, encircling the sea area where the Hongmen fleet was located from all directions.
Danger was imminent, and Hongmen had used compromise tactics to repel the mighty Dutch fleet, so he naturally understood that there must be very dangerous things in the cabins of these small ships, which seemed to be too different in size from their own ships: gunpowder, oil, water ghosts, and so on.
Without Lu Yu's orders, the thirteen "Yang Fan-style" warships withdrew and left at the same time, and quickly opened a certain distance from the other party, temporarily out of danger.
However, the Hongmen fleet did not plan to retreat, Lu Yu and they had already made a decision in advance, today's battle, since it has begun, it is necessary to completely defeat the Satsuma Naval Division with the momentum of thunder for so long, and the best result is naturally total annihilation!
Only in this way will the Satsuma Daimyo know their strong position on the sea, and will begin to calculate in their hearts whether the price of continuing to confront the Hongmen is worth it.
The "Yang Fan-style" warship broke away from the battle, but it was the eleven 400-material warships of the Shark Department who came out and began to intercept the small boats rushing from all directions.
Compared with the ten warships carefully built by Hongmen in Lu Shu's hands, the eleven 400 warships under Wu Shu's command were too inferior in long-range weapons, but they were more than enough to deal with these fishing boats that could capsize in the face of waves several feet high.
The "Yang Fan" battleship was indeed invincible in the face of the warships of the eastern countries, but when the company was more flexible and more difficult to aim, its defects in steering would be infinitely magnified.
The sheer size of the ship meant that the Sail could be built thicker to defend against long-range weapons such as artillery, but it also meant that it was easier to hit as a target.
When the Satsuma Japanese made up their minds to deceive themselves at any cost to defeat and wound the Hongmen fleet, the "Yang Fan-style" battleships could only temporarily avoid the edge and supply the other side with this opportunity.
However, it is the Hongmen 400 material warship, because the hull is relatively thinner and the operation method is more convenient, but it is the best tool to fight against the Japanese large number of sea ships in close combat at this time.
The protagonist suddenly changed from a "Yang Fan-style" warship to a 400-material warship, and the Japanese sea ships that came in suddenly were in a dilemma at this time, but they quickly made a decision.
The previous battles of the 400 warships had always been used as auxiliary ships to cover the actions of the "Yang Fan-style" warships, but this did not mean that their combat strength was inferior. Even now with the "Yang Fan" warship entering service and putting it into use, in the short term, the 400 warships are still the most warships in the Hongmen Naval Division.
Not to mention the Hongmen 400 warships and their search; The Hongtang sailor warriors carried are all Hongmen elites, even if they are placed in the eastern seas, they are also the top sailor team in the industry, which is stronger than the main sailors of Samo.
Hongmen can have the current strength and territory, and most of it is built by thousands of soldiers of the Hongtang Navy Division and these 400 warships through brilliant military exploits again and again.
After changing the object, the Japanese sea boat still leaned forward like a swimming fish, and from time to time seized the opportunity to detonate the oil and gunpowder carried on the ship, turning into a blazing torch on the sea.
The four hundred warships stood in the front line, blocking most of the Japanese ships, and entangled with them by taking advantage of their steering and agility, which were slightly weaker than the small boats.
The "Yang Fan-style" warship on the side was not idle, and while continuing to fire artillery fire to cover the battle ahead, it crossed a long arc, preparing to bypass the frontal battlefield and chase down the main force of the Satsuma Naval Division that was taking advantage of the arrival of reinforcements to breathe and rearrange the formation.
The movement of the "Yang Fan-style" warship was soon discovered by Shimazu Hisao, but he was also fearless, and at this time in the battle, he had no way to retreat. It is precisely because he is the son of the Daimyo of Satsuma, for the future and development of Satsuma, he must also intercept the Hongmen fleet in this sea area at this time, and pay a big price, at any cost!
I thought I could have about half of the chance of winning, but after I really fought each other, Shimazu Hisao knew that I was afraid that it was the best expectation.
With the strength of the Hongmen fleet, especially the ten "Yang Fan" warships, it is already the best outcome for the Satsuma fleet to fight and lose both.
