176 Temptation
The next day, as soon as the sky was white, Hongmen, Gong Zhuyi and others all started to act on the boat.
Under the influence of Hongmen's side, the Flying Dragon Gang also acted at the same time, and for a while, this sea area was surrounded by a tense atmosphere.
The first to move was the more than 30 pirates led by Gong Zhuyi and them to stand out, rushing straight towards the island guarded by the Flying Dragon Gang, with a great momentum of not giving up until they reached the island.
Although the Wyvern Gang did not have many people on the island, but for them, after all, there are a large number of pirate families on this island, if they are not protected, I am afraid that many of the pirates in the Wyvern Gang will have other ideas, and even suddenly turn back.
Therefore, in the face of the surprise attack of Gong Zhuyi and other defeated generals, the Flying Dragon Gang sent a few warships to block the opponent's attack, and at the same time contacted the soldiers stationed on the island to intercept with the island's fortifications.
At the same time, the Wyverns sent a number of warships to attack them fiercely from the flank and rear of the pirate coalition, making them unable to care about each other and trying to force them to retreat.
However, the Hongmen army is on the side, although they have made up their minds to want the other party and Gong Zhuyi's pirate army to be defeated and injured, but Gong Zhuyi and the others are originally weak, if the Hongmen fleet does not assist from the side, where can there be a situation of both defeats!
On the Hongmen side, seeing the Flying Dragon Gang attacking the pirate fleet in front of his eyes, it was naturally impossible for him to succeed, Li Tianyang waved his hand, and twenty warships pressed up on the spot, guarding the left and right wings for the Gongzhuyi pirate fleet, so that it could attack with peace of mind.
Yan Zheng and the others saw that they couldn't do anything, so they immediately transferred the flank warships back to strengthen the blocking battle line in front, after all, they were defeated, and the Flying Dragon Gang may still have some scruples about the Hongmen fleet, but in the face of the pirate gang that was chased and besieged by their own side, it was not frouching at all, and more than ten warships dared to fight with more than 30 warships of the pirate army, and the fight was impressive.
Li Tianyang's plan fell through, and although the Flying Dragons Gang sent out more than a dozen warships to fight with the pirate fleet, their army still patrolled steadily around the island, eyeing the Hongmen fleet.
Li Tianyang took the binoculars and observed, while hating the uselessness of the pirate fleet, more than 30 warships could not attack the island for half a day, so that the Flying Dragon Gang did not have to be anxious because of the danger of the family on the island, and on the other hand, he turned around and asked people to issue an order, so that the twenty Hongmen warships around the winged pirate fleet joined the attack on the island.
To be honest, if it is not necessary, Li Tianyang is really unwilling to threaten the Flying Dragon Gang with those unarmed pirate families on the island, although he is opposed to the Flying Dragon Gang, but Li Tianyang still feels that the display frame is a warrior, and the people are the people, and the two should not be confused.
But now, Li Tianyang can't help but deal with the people on the island with a cheeky face, so as to force the Flying Dragon Gang to fight with several parties.
I don't know why, Li Tianyang always has a bad premonition in his heart, the reaction of this Flying Dragon Gang is really incomprehensible, knowing the strength of the Hongmen fleet, but they still haven't evacuated the people on the island, and there is no movement on the Jingpu side, so Li Tianyang has to be cautious about this battle.
If the more than 30 warships of the pirate fleet and the more than 10 warships of the Wyvern Gang are allowed to continue to be entangled like this, I am afraid that there may not be a result in a day today.
Li Tianyang wanted to take the opportunity to further weaken the strength of the remnants of the pirates, but the strong sense of uneasiness in his heart prompted him to abandon the established plan and decide to speed up the pace of the attack and force the Wyvern Gang to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible.
As soon as the flag was struck, the twenty Hongmen warships that were already ready to fight and sharpen their fists to protect the left and right wings of the pirate fleet flew into the battle between the pirate fleet and the Wyvern Gang.
The Flying Dragon Gang warship, which had faced more than 30 pirate warships before, felt the strong strength of the Hongmen fleet the moment the Hongmen warship joined.
In the past, they were able to take advantage of the narrow terrain in front of the island, forcing the pirate warships that were not strong in individual combat strength to take advantage of their number of warships, and most of the pirate warships were blocked behind and could not engage in battle.
When the Hongmen warship sailed in, regardless of the approach of other friendly ships on the left and right, they were stunned to squeeze the free space of the other friendly ships, and pushed them into the first battle line.
The Hongmen warships lacked the strength of the artillery, but in terms of real fighting, they were better than the Wyvern Gang soldiers.
After all, the Flying Dragon Gang is not a regular army, and they are more inclined to individual fighting in hand-to-hand combat, where can it be compared to the cooperation tactics of the Hongmen warriors who have long penetrated into the bone marrow, and this engagement feels the strong pressure of the Hongmen warriors' battle array, and it is not at the same level as the pirate gang.
The Flying Dragon Gang's battle line only lasted for half an hour, and there were signs of collapse, forcing Yan Zheng and the others to continue to add more than ten warships to help consolidate the front.
Before you know it, almost half of the fifty warships of the Flying Dragon Gang have gone out, while there are still forty warships on the side of the Hongmen fleet facing each other.
Next, it depends on the outcome of the offensive and defensive battle on the island, somehow, Li Tianyang just didn't dare to put all his main forces into it, whether it was out of trust in his hunch, or some strange arrangements of the Flying Dragon Gang, Li Tianyang decided to continue to wait.
As long as it is not a long-range firepower, the strength that the Hongmen fleet can exert is enough to suppress the Wyvern Gang on a frontal battlefield, not to mention the thousands of pirates from the side.
The sun rises over the eastern horizon, then rises in the middle of the sky, and then slowly sets in the west, and the local war on the island is gradually becoming clear.
With the assistance of the pirates, the twenty warships of the Hongmen fleet fought steadily, killing and forcing the fighters on the Wyvern Gang warships to retreat step by step, oppressing their space for movement, so that now they almost have little room for the other party to move.
Seeing that the gap between the strength of hand-to-hand combat was highlighted, Zheng Zhilong finally knew why Yan Siqi had always let himself endure and maintain respect for Hongmen.
But at this time, he couldn't sit still anymore, and if he continued like this, the more than 20 warships and soldiers he sent out would be killed by the other party and attack the island.
After eyeing Yan Siqi twice, Zheng Zhilong finally couldn't resist giving an order, and sent ten more warships to support his own fighting front.
At this time, seeing that there is still an hour at most before nightfall, Zheng Zhilong believes that it will not be long before Hongmen will die down and wait until tomorrow to fight again.
