??? In the face of Li Tianyang's questioning, the team members below fell silent, yes, everyone is not stupid, although everyone was full of confidence in the team's combat strength at the previous moment, but really put the data on the table, everyone's confidence is not so sufficient.

This is not a gap of 1,200 warriors, but a gap of double the strength, no matter how confident everyone is, it is impossible to talk nonsense with their eyes open, when Yuan Laoba and his gang eat porridge!

Not to mention, over the years, Yuan Laoba has won a great reputation in the South China Sea, and even the fleet of the Penghu Navy Division has not been discounted, not to mention their team that has only experienced a few battles!

"Although Yuan Laoba is twice as powerful as us, it is impossible for them to go out and ignore their own nest for us!!" Zhang Yuyan took advantage of everyone's determination to think about it carefully, and then said a little question.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wu Jie hurriedly helped.

"But don't forget, the news that Da Biao sent back this time, why is Yuan Laoba so anxious to need a large amount of food this time, according to Da Biao's estimate, Yuan Laoba this time, from Ji Rentang's hands, at least more than 4,000 stone of grain was transported." Li Tianyang is most worried about this, according to the general situation, pirates like Yuan Laoba must have a fixed channel to support their team, and there is no possibility of a sudden shortage of food.

Four thousand stone of grain, what does that mean, it shows that during this period of time, Yuan Laoba's team has accepted at least no less than three thousand people, otherwise there would not be such a big food shortage.

When it comes to the relationship between food and population, Li Tianyang is the most authoritative, Bengang has suffered a lot of losses on the problem of lack of food since the establishment of the camp from the beginning, so for this problem, he can convert the scale of Yuan Laoba's team expansion from the grain at a glance.

With a population of three thousand, according to the composition structure of the pirates, then at least half of the people are strong warriors, so on this basis, Li Tianyang can conclude that Yuan Laoba's current strength has at least more than four thousand, nearly five thousand warriors.

Li Tianyang talked eloquently, and told the team members present that he had estimated the data, so that the people present no longer dared to underestimate Yuan Laoba's group of people, and even some people began to hesitate and look at the left and right partners with concern.

"Moreover, there is a big disadvantage in this, that is, the pirates who were scared out of the Penghu Sea by us, they are not willing to leave their lair, but they may not all join Yuan Laoba's team. If this Yuan Laoba and his gang really have a hard time with us this time, then presumably these pirates who were driven out by us will also follow with the ambition to return to their territory. ”

"Well, then we can't just sit still, we have to fight with them!" Wu Jie has never been a person who will be intimidated, and in the face of Li Tianyang's huge opponent, he has no willingness to give up resistance.

"Of course!!" Li Tianyang replied categorically: "We finally have the current foundation, and it is definitely impossible to give all this to others, so I called everyone over and informed everyone of all this, so that everyone can be prepared!" ”

"Is there anything we can do that can help us?" Zhang Yuyan has always been a realist, and when faced with such a situation, the first thing that always comes to mind is how to solve the problem.

"What can be done!" Li Tianyang shook his head and looked sad: "We don't lack warriors now, with such a population in the camp, it is not difficult for us to gather three or five thousand warriors. ”

"But the biggest problem is that our strength at sea is too different from others, even if we add up the cargo ships we carry cargo, the number of sea ships in our camp is only thirty, compared to the other side, at least half of the difference. And sea ships, no more than others, the construction period is calculated on a monthly basis, even if we want to build or buy ships now, it is too late! ”

"If you can't buy it, let's grab it, there are so many maritime ships in the past, let's hurry up and grab a few more, and then pull them back to find craftsmen to transform them, and we can use most of the warships!" Wu Jie's heart suddenly opened up and he said an idea, which made Zhang Yuyan's people light up.

"Shit!!" Li Tianyang scolded, and roared with hatred: "Then aren't the rules that we have formed with great difficulty over the past few days just done in vain?" In the future, who will believe what we say and the rules we have set! ”

"But now we may not be able to protect ourselves, so what is the future?" Zhang Yuyan was obviously quite moved by this, and couldn't help but say something to help Wu Jie.

"Alas!! You always see only what is in front of you, but you don't care about the future. Li Tianyang smiled bitterly: "I have told all of you so much, I just hope that you can face up to the opponent this time and devote twelve points of energy to deal with this matter, but I didn't say that we will definitely fail!" ”

"Have you forgotten that our current Bengang camp has nearly 30,000 villagers living in it, just with him Yuan Laoba, how can He De capture our camp!! If we really can't beat them, can't we just shrink into the Bengang camp and wait for us to be strong enough before fighting back? ”

A word to wake up the dreamer, for a long time, the members of the Bengang camp are in a strong position, in the face of the enemy, the first thing they think of is how to fight head-on with others, but they forget that if they can't beat it, they can still stick to the Bengang camp, no matter how strong the other party's pirates are, it is impossible to be able to beat them Bengang on land!

Even Zhang Yuyan glanced at Li Tianyang embarrassedly, embarrassed by his hindsight.

But only Li Tianyang knew in his heart that the so-called sticking to the Bengang camp was just a last resort. The reason why Bengang Camp can flourish and attract so many indigenous people to join in is not because of the variety of simple and applicable daily necessities in the camp?

Although Bengang Camp has developed so far, many daily necessities can be self-sufficient, but there are still many daily necessities that need to be purchased from outside, such as cotton, cloth, such as porcelain and pottery.

And don't forget, now Li Tianyang and their Qixintang's focus is all on Bengang, basically all the products in the Yuegang branch are produced from Bengang, and then transported to Yuegang, if they lose this battle and lose the passage to the sea, for Li Tianyang's Qixintang, it is tantamount to a disaster. Do you think there is any point in the existence of a business that has no merchandise?

In the end, the foundation that Li Tianyang and them had built with great difficulty would return to the pre-liberation period overnight and fall apart and come to naught in a short period of time.

And this is exactly what Li Tianyang can't tolerate now!!
