In the first wave of siege warfare, the Ryukyu warriors had a great difficulty to defeat the Japanese people, but Wu Daofu and they roughly calculated the battle loss ratio of each other, but they reluctantly found a sad fact: the Ryukyu defenders, who occupied the geographical advantage, were even more numerous than the Japanese casualties in the siege battle.

Of course, this is indispensable to the 1,000 Japanese musketeers who took more than 100 steps outside the city, and if they hadn't been suppressing the Ryukyu warriors and breaking the fighting will of the Ryukyu recruits with accurate shots, the Japanese would not have attacked the city wall so easily.

However, after resisting the first wave of the Japanese attack, perhaps because of nervous numbness, or perhaps because they had already accepted their fate, the Ryukyu warriors were a little more proficient in resisting the Japanese and dared to show their heads to shoot at the Japanese people.

And with the practical use of crossbows and muskets in the hand, the previous arrows often could not find the feather arrows and bullets of the north, and they were gradually able to approach the direction of the target, and sometimes they could even hit an enemy like a blind cat hitting a dead mouse.

On the sea, Zhao Xingdou and his twenty-three ships stood out and flexibly maneuvered with the pirate fleet led by Yuan Laoba, and at the same time used their own artillery superiority to shoot at a suitable angle and always get a reward.

However, Yuan Laoba and the others were also determined to deal with the Hongtang fleet to the end, even if their team had been played like monkeys all along, Yuan Laoba did not give up.

Zhao Xingdou and they are actually difficult to ride a tiger, at this time the Amami walled city has been surrounded by Japanese people, Zhao Xingdou and they want to replenish ammunition and materials again, then they have to risk being blocked in the port by Yuan Laoba's fleet, or go to the main island of Ryukyu to replenish after most of the day.

Therefore, Zhao Xingdou's best solution is to inflict heavy damage on Yuan Laoba's forty pirate warships, so that they can no longer suppress and entangle the Hongtang fleet.

And this is also an important weight for Amami Castle to be able to stand firm under the resistance of the Japanese team.

For this goal, Zhao Xingdou and them have been looking for Yuan Laoba and their flaws for half a day, and at the same time using artillery fire to consume the strength of the pirate fleet.

However, at this time, Yuan Laoba, with the fighting spirit on his body and the naval combat experience accumulated over the years, was stunned to take these pirate warships from all over the world and entangled with the Hongtang warships until now, and did not cause too many casualties.

However, the performance of the Hongtang warship was really a few points beyond their pirate warships, especially the six "Yang Fan-style" warships led by Zhao Xingdou, which were strong and sharp, and they were rampage among their pirate warships.

Seeing that it was finally necessary to surround and clear the six "Yang Fan-style" warships that had been left alone, who knew that the people were stunned to rely on their sturdy hull and speed, and slammed away the two warships that were blocking them, leaving a disability for Yuan Laoba and them.

In the end, Yuan Laoba and the others had to let go of these six Western-style warships and concentrate on dealing with the other dozen Hongtang warships.

And to give up the siege of these six Western-style warships, the price Yuan Laoba and they had to pay was something they didn't expect!

The artillery roared, and after the six "Yang Fan-style" warships were not entangled by the pirate warships, the firepower was turned on, and the shells poured out by the six warships were comparable to more than ten other warships in Hongtang, and they were suddenly beaten to the north by Yuan Laoba.

After Yuan Laoba and the others reacted and once again shifted the focus of their attack to six "Yang Fan-style" warships, four or five of the more than 30 warships they attacked had unknowingly withdrawn from the naval battle because of serious damage.

Nearly 1/6 of the warships withdrew from the naval battle, for Yuan Laoba and his pirate fleet, the strength was weakened not a little bit, and the fleet that could have confronted the Hongtang warship head-on was now a little struggling.

Zhao Xingdou didn't think about directly cutting off one of his fingers and sinking those seriously damaged warships directly, but how could Yuan Laoba and them give Zhao Xingdou a chance!

When they found that Zhao Xingdou and their fleet wanted to follow the damaged pirate warship to continue the attack, Yuan Laoba and the others immediately pressed up with their whole army, forcing Zhao Xingdou and them to dodge to the side.

Although they are not afraid of the sporadic entanglement of pirates, if they are chased and besieged by the opponent's team, then Zhao Xingdou and their six warships will also have to suffer some hardships. At this time, it is not the time to start a head-on decisive battle with Yuan Laoba's pirate fleet, not that the Hongtang fleet is afraid of the opponent's strength, but because the strength of the pirates at this time is still quite strong, as the so-called wounded enemy 10,000 self-loss 8,000, Zhao Xingdou does not want to because of the battle with the pirates, in the end, his own family has no spare strength to rescue the Amami Walled City, then it is not beautiful.

However, before retreating, Zhao Xingdou and the others still fired a round of artillery bombardment at the retreating pirate warship, and blasted a hole in the waterline of a badly damaged pirate ship on the spot.

The ship then sank into the sea at a speed visible to the naked eye, and groups of pirates jumped out of the ship and swam towards the nearest ship.

This is the first warship to be sunk by Hong Tang since the start of the naval battle two hours ago, it is a matter of time for the Hong Tang team members, but in the eyes of Yuan Laoba and them, it is Hong Tang's provocation to them.

was already holding back a wave of anger to compete with Hong Tang, and Yuan Laoba also knew in his heart that this was probably the last time he would compete with Hong Tang in his life and find his way back.

He knows his own affairs, don't look at Yuan Laoba, who has always been tough on the outside, and led the team to the sea with a body of nearly fifty years old, and he looks quite tough, but every time he returns from the sea, he has to lie in his bed for two days to ease his senses.

Moreover, as he grew older, Yuan Laoba's body began to have all kinds of problems, such as joint pain, waist and knee weakness, etc., and the sequelae of the injuries he suffered in the early years have come out one by one now.

Under the anger of the fire, Yuan Laoba gave an order, and nearly thirty pirate warships once again surrounded Zhao Xingdou and Hongtang warships, but this time the pirate warships had an extra momentum of courage.

What's the use of just having momentum, Zhao Xingdou and the fleet made it clear that they would not fight you head-on, but just circled around their pirate fleet to fight guerrillas, and did not give Yuan Laoba a chance at all.

In the end, it was Yuan Laoba who found an opportunity by themselves, taking advantage of an imprudent mistake in the position of the Hongtang fleet, and finally intercepted the next Hongtang 400-material warship with a hook lock.
