212 Wu Daofu's test
"Uncle Wu, this operation is under your command!" When he was about to set out, Li Tianyang suddenly called Wu Daofu over and said this to him.
"This, this...... Young master, it's better for you to come! Wu Daofu was surprised, but also a little happy in his heart, at least he hadn't been by Li Tianyang's side for more than a year, Li Tianyang still valued him very much, and he had only been in the camp for a long time, and Li Tianyang let him command the battle independently.
"It's okay, I believe in your ability, Uncle Wu, I'll follow you and press the formation." Li Tianyang looked full of confidence.
"Okay, then." Wu Daofu also wanted to seize the opportunity to behave in front of Li Tianyang. Since coming to Bengang, he has been aware of the vitality and prospects of Bengang, he has taken refuge in Li Tianyang in the early years, for that right, he failed to follow Li Tianyang out of the first time to work hard, has made him regret it, how can he let go of such a great opportunity now!
"Then get out!" After Li Tianyang said this, he took the fast boat and got off the 400-material warship, and sailed towards the smallest 200-material warship behind him.
In this battle, Li Tianyang brought more than 300 soldiers with them, in addition to all the indigenous soldiers who were pulled out for training, for the sake of insurance, they still brought more than 100 capable team members in case of accidents. At the same time, Li Tianyang also brought three warships with them, except for one that only had two hundred materials, the remaining two were four hundred warships that had been transformed by the pirates.
Now, Li Tianyang took the initiative to hand over two 400-material warships, totaling more than 240 soldiers, to Wu Daofu, while he stayed on the 200-material warship to suppress the formation, the purpose was not exactly as he told Wu Daofu, it was for military training. In fact, he has a deeper purpose, that is, he wants to test how great his ability Wu Daofu is through this naval battle.
In the last 6 battles, Li Tianyang had already seen Wu Daofu's fierce and belligerent side as pirates, which also made him realize the shortcomings of the lack of cooperation between Wu Daofu and the camp members. What Li Tianyang doesn't understand now is Wu Daofu's housekeeping skills as a pirate, and his ability to operate sails and oars.
Li Tianyang knows very well that with the expansion of the camp in the future, he will need to manage more and more things, and he can no longer manage the camp and run the pirate business by himself like now. He also needs to train some talents to help him manage the affairs of the camp together, such as Gan Dabiao managing the Yuegang Branch, such as Zhang Yuyan managing the security of the camp, and He Yong and Sun Juyong are now the faces of the pirates......
It's not that Li Tianyang doesn't want to assign some work to Wu Jie, so that he can be in charge of his own affairs, but according to Wu Jie's temperament, he may not be willing to try ordinary work, so Li Tianyang also wants to wait for a while, and after the team in the camp is expanded, according to Wu Jie's character, he will prepare a suitable position for him.
This time, Wu Daofu brought Zhao Xingdou and Wu Hu over together, and Li Tianyang thought about it for the first time, entrusting the matter of the pirates to them, and sharing the situation of his own lack of skills. Of course, before taking up the post, Li Tianyang still needs to come up with a few questions to test Wu Daofu and find out Wu Daofu's approximate ability.
Li Tianyang followed behind Wu Daofu and their two sea ships in front of him, full of sails, and arrows were heading towards the west, and it didn't take long to see a small black shadow in the west of the sea, which was a ship belonging to pirates.
At the beginning, this group of pirates did not turn around and leave, but just observed Wu Daofu's intentions from a distance, after all, the telescope is a very rare thing in this era, and the average pirate is afraid that they have never even seen it, and if they want to see whether the black spot in the distance is a cargo ship of a maritime merchant or a pirate warship, they have to be relatively close to distinguish it by degree, hull size, etc.
Moreover, as a pirate who has accumulated years, Wu Daofu is not a person without ability, he played a very simple trick, that is, to make the two warships one after the other, and the pirate ship in the distance in a straight line of three points and one line, so that the opposite sea ship can not see the sea ship behind at all. Even Li Tianyang received Wu Daofu's request to follow the two warships in front of him and played this trick, until the three sea ships approached the target less than five miles away, and the pirates realized that something was wrong.
What follows is a game of not intense, but very long pursuit.
The ships of the pirates are originally known for their degrees, and this group of pirates is no exception, and after sensing that something is wrong, the pirates sail and sail into the distance. And Wu Daofu's warships followed closely behind them, relying on the slight difference in degree advantage, slowly narrowing the distance between the two sides.
It took a day and a night to close the distance to the range of the longbow.
The reason why Li Tianyang tried his best to avoid fighting with pirates in the sea was that the gap between the performance and the degree of these pirates' warships was originally very small, and they wanted to chase a pirate gang who wanted to escape in a while, unless Li Tianyang drove their Shark, otherwise it would be very difficult.
"The pirates on the other side listen to me, we are the ones who cut off Du Ye with a knife, this time you meet us, count you unlucky, hurry up and lower your sails, otherwise don't blame the brothers for being polite." Listening to the voice, Li Tianyang could tell that it was Sun Juyong's voice, it seemed that Wu Daofu was still very concerned about the rules of the rivers and lakes, and dealt with the pirates on the opposite side first.
Needless to say, Li Tianyang can imagine the rest of the matter, as a pirate, the matter of being caught with their hands tied up is not a problem they consider at all, and in the end, it is not to rely on the knife in their hands to speak.
After some negotiation to no avail, a rain of arrows fell from the sky and shot at the opposite pirates who entered the firing range, pinning them down below deck, unable to rise at all, unable to even do the least counterattack. This, in Li Tianyang's opinion, is commonplace, U read the book .net After all, most of the two ships are the original indigenous warriors, which is not a good hunter, dancing with a bow and arrow, that is not where to shoot, this first stage of the long attack, for them is too pediatric.
After suppressing the movement on the opposite deck, Wu Daofu further grasped the initiative in the battle, and took the opportunity to further shorten the distance between each other, until this time, there were pirates who were not afraid of death to shoot a few cold arrows sporadically, but for Wu Daofu and his gang, who were preoccupied with the target, there was no threat at all.
In the broadside battle, Wu Daofu, who took the lead and jumped on the warship, brandished a long knife, showing his martial arts to the opposite soldiers, and also showed his ability to his companions and Li Tianyang behind. Like a sandwich, the two ships clamped their targets tightly in the middle, attacking the pirates from both sides at once, leaving them exhausted.
Seeing this, Li Tianyang frowned when he watched Wu Daofu jump on the enemy ship first, and spent the rest of the time calmly observing this show of the indigenous warriors. It seems that the usual training is very useful, many indigenous warriors, no longer like before, rushed to the battlefield in a swarm, and fought with people, but under the leadership of the camp members, lined up to fight with the pirates on the opposite side, although this battle formation is a little less tacit than the battle formation of the team members, a little more rusty, and even occasionally there will be mutual obstructions, but on the whole, it is no longer a group of rabble.
And the most important point is that the attitude of the indigenous warriors in the face of life and death is not as unbearable as Li Tianyang's first experience on the battlefield, and they are affected by the intense battle.
