179 To add insult to injury
The ramming horns of the "Yang Fan-style" warship slowly withdrew from the pirate ship, and the squeak and screeching sound from the force of the two ships made people uncomfortable.
At the same time, the soldiers on the "Yang Fan-style" warship had jumped onto the dilapidated sea ship and used it as a springboard to fight deeper into the battlefield.
The pirates are just a rabble, and when they are in a winning position, they naturally like to beat the water dogs, but when they can't see the hope of victory, or think they are at a disadvantage, they will quickly become discouraged and unable to exert their strength.
When Li Tianyang and their main force came over, the pirate team had already begun to panic, and when Li Tianyang brutally rammed into a warship, the sound of the impact comparable to thunder was also like hitting the hearts of these pirates.
is already a little weak-minded, the power that Hongmen has built up on the sea over the years cannot be covered up by the temporary disadvantage at this time, not to mention their so-called disadvantage at this time, which is achieved by how much effort and manpower the Flying Fish Gang and the pirates have used.
And even if they tried their best, they failed to destroy the will of the Hongmen soldiers in the first time, and even now they are still fighting steadily, even in the face of siege from the front and back, they are still firmly rooted in the center of the battlefield, waiting for the soldiers outside the Hongmen to come to the rescue.
In the short time when they didn't see Zheng Zhilong's headquarters behind Li Tianyang and them coming out, the pirates who had been attached to the Flying Dragon Gang for a long time, and who were not very loyal to it, couldn't help but think about their lives and safety, and made way for the Hongmen warriors one after another, allowing them to open the passage between them and the Hongmen warriors in the inner circle.
By the time Zheng Zhilong and the others arrived, in fact, it was just a cup of tea, and the Hongmen soldiers had already converged with the besieged soldiers in the inner circle, with the help of this group of new forces, even if the Flying Dragon Gang desperately wanted to intercept the Hongmen soldiers, they couldn't stand their argument for the existence of a group of pig teammates, and in the end they could only watch the other party drift away and disappear into the pirate team.
Zheng Zhilong and the others were actually not too far away from Li Tianyang, but in the dim night, their figures were not as eye-catching as in the daytime, and they themselves took a little detour, which caused the pirate team to have a misunderstanding, but it made their final scheming tend to be in vain.
"What a bunch of useless !!" Zheng Zhilong, who was in a hurry, saw the battlefield that had already failed his wishful thinking, and looked at the pirates with a pair of devouring eyes, and really wanted to kill this group of useless bastards on the spot.
"It's too late to say anything now, or just activate the second chess piece!" Yan Siqi comforted Zheng Zhilong in turn, but his overall view was higher than Zheng Zhilong's, and seeing that the situation was developing beyond his plan, he hurriedly suggested to Zheng Zhilong.
"......" was only silent for a moment, and Zheng Zhilong made a decision: "Okay, send a signal!" ”
An arrow of a different color from the previous one shot up into the sky again, emitting a dazzling green light, shining in the air, and then disappearing again in an instant.
Li Tianyang's hearts beat sharply again, and they didn't know what other arrangements the other party had, so that the crisis that they had gradually solved would face again.
The variable came from among the Hongmen soldiers themselves, and when Li Tianyang and the rescue fighters themselves did not find out, the Hongmen soldiers around them, who were supposed to be in the same boat, suddenly slashed and beheaded their colleagues.
Not only were the Hongmen warriors stunned, but even the pirates who fought with them were equally dumbfounded, no one thought that in the end, the chess pieces laid by the Wyvern Gang were actually in the Hongmen team.
"Abandon the knife and don't kill! Abandon the knife and don't kill! The Hongmen warriors who suddenly rebelled against the capital brandished their swords and slashed at their former colleagues, while shouting slogans of surrender.
At the same time, there were more than ten company commanders and platoon commanders from Hongmen, shouting to the pirates and the Flying Dragon Gang beside them: "We are a gang, we are a gang, and the white towels on our arms are all our own people!" ”
Perhaps the timing of the launch was too early, most of the soldiers who suddenly rebelled in the Hongmen were scattered in all corners of the Hongmen team, although the suddenness of their launch made the other Hongmen soldiers lose a lot, and they were stunned at the same time, but the strong will that Hongmen has always focused on cultivating has been fully demonstrated at this moment.
If it were an ordinary team, or even many regular armies of the Ming Dynasty, in the face of such a succession of friendly mutinies and enemy battles, I am afraid that most of the troops would have suffered a mental breakdown, and it would be impossible to maintain combat effectiveness and formation.
But Hongtang didn't, although the great change came suddenly, but most of the backbone of Hongmen was still fighting on the front line, Wu Jie, Zhao Xingdou, Wu Chao and other middle and high-level generals who went out with Li Tianyang stood up at this moment, cheering up the soldiers around them, boosting their morale, and at the same time, the correct instructions were conveyed one by one, and gradually stabilized the wavering military heart.
Li Tianyang's side quickly suppressed the commotion of the team, and those soldiers who suddenly rebelled were quickly driven or killed in the ranks, and as the peripheral reinforcements gradually calmed down, the Hongmen soldiers who were surrounded in the inner circle gradually appeared a clear dividing line between Wei and Jin.
The renegade Hongmen warriors slowly converged, and together with the pirates and the Wyvern Gang, they sniped the Hongmen warriors around them who wanted to break through, in a vain attempt to wait for Zheng Zhilong and them to join the battlefield by delaying time.
However, the Hongmen side is not to be outdone, after all, the Hongmen soldiers who suddenly rebelled are only a few, at this time the Hongmen has opened the passage of the encircled warriors in the inner circle, even if there are Hongmen soldiers who suddenly rebel to delay, they still can't stop the Hongmen retreat.
At the same time, the few warships that did not squeeze into the battle line on the periphery of Hongmen were not idle, and under Li Tianyang's instructions, in front of Zheng Zhilong and them, they threw the mines carried on the warships into the sea like no money, and once again made Zheng Zhilong's troops suffer a few small losses.
Without understanding the principle of the mine, Zheng Zhilong and the others really didn't have that much determination to rush straight into the sea area in front of them, and the two warships that were blown out of the big hole and sunk to the bottom of the sea were warning them how powerful the mine was.
It wasn't until Li Tianyang and them worked hard to finally rescue a group of Hongmen soldiers from the vast sea of people, and they didn't even have time to count whether there were any lone soldiers in the rear, Li Tianyang and they hurriedly set sail and took advantage of the night to escape from this sea area in the direction that Dayuan Island loved.
