Of course, although Wu Daofu and their art are bold, they still don't dare to be too arrogant, and when the Japanese warship returned to the shallow water, Wu Daofu and they also stopped, and let the other party go back to the Amami Oshima dock and cowered.

This time they were able to take advantage of it, Wu Daofu and they also benefited from the fact that the Japanese fleet dealt with Western-style naval warfare for the first time, and compared to the original time when Wu Daofu and they were pestering the Dutch outside Jilong Harbor, the Japanese people also had to take into account the more than 30 Hongtang warships that had not shown up, and they did not dare to say that the fleet was scattered, so they let Wu Daofu and them talk about the power of artillery fire to the maximum, and the probability of hitting the enemy ship was greatly increased.

Even so, in the midst of several rounds of artillery fire, except for one of the ships that had been hit in the armor of the ship's side at the beginning, the rest of the Japanese ships were more or less damaged, but none of the ships sank as a result.

No, in this era, even the most powerful artillery will not really be sunk by artillery unless it hits a ship in a row, or if you are lucky enough to hit the side of the ship around the horizon.

Of course, this criterion does not include seagoing vessels such as small fishing boats under 200 gauges.

As of the final count, because we do not know the number of casualties on the enemy's battleship due to shelling, judging from visual inspection alone, it seems that the results of the sinking of a battleship may not be worth the loss of two or three thousand catties of lead bullet in three or four rounds of shelling!

But Wu Daofu and they were very excited, no one had been so majestic as today, and when the war was over and Wu Daofu announced his return, one by one Hongtang team members happily talked about their most proud moments.

After all, the picture of these six warships running with more than 100 warships, even the pirates who have been doing it for the longest time, have never heard of it, but today they have all met it, and they are still the one who chases people, this sense of accomplishment fills the whole team, so that they can not be excited and proud of it.

"Now I can understand why the young master had to take the risk of being discovered by the Franc machine people in the first place, and snatched a few Western warships from them and handed them over to our people to imitate." Since the launch of three imitation Western-style warships and their commissioning, it is no secret that Wu Jie and his people led people to attack Macao at the beginning, among the many middle and high-level leaders in Hongtang. At the beginning, Wu Daofu did not understand that Li Tianyang's action seemed to be a whim, but now the results obtained through that victory are showing an important role today, and now it seems that it is indeed an extremely wise decision.

After going back to rest again, replenishing ammunition and letting the team rest for a while, after lunch, Wu Daofu and his six warships swaggered in the direction of Amami Oshima.

Similar to the scene in the morning, Wu Daofu and the others played around the Japanese fleet a few times, harassed and fired several rounds of artillery fire, and then slowly left under the angry gaze of the Japanese fleet.

The Japanese people also learned honestly, before they thought of a plan for how to deal with six Western-style warships, they turned into a shrunken turtle, and the entire fleet did not come out near the shallow water, so Wu Daofu and they were helpless.

The design of the Western-style warships 'U' makes their draft deeper than that of the 'V' type of Oriental ships, although this makes them more stable and more cargo-carrying in the ocean-going trade, but also has a higher requirements for docks and waters, so it has also become a stupid way for the Japanese to deal with Wu Daofu at this time.

A day passed like this, Wu Daofu and they ran like this again and again to harass the Japanese fleet, although the results were not great, but in terms of morale, it was very encouraging to the Hongtang soldiers, and at the same time, it also greatly damaged the morale of the Japanese coalition army.

The next day, when Wu Daofu and the others wanted to repeat their old tricks, they suddenly found that in the waters around their Hongtang fleet, there were no less than a dozen or twenty speedboats, which was a stupid way for the Japanese people to think of to deal with such shameless and endless harassment as Hongtang.

The reason why the Japanese people were afraid to fight Wu Daofu and them yesterday was not because they couldn't know where most of the other fleets in Hongtang were, so they didn't dare to act rashly? If you can clearly know where most of Hongtang is, then with the numerical advantage of more than 100 sea ships of the Japanese coalition army, scattered in the waters of Amami Oshima, Wu Daofu and his six warships want to play the Japanese fleet like yesterday, but it will be difficult, and if they are not careful, they will seize the opportunity to fight a battle, and finally drown in the opponent's sea tactics.

Xiao Xiurong and they quickly figured out the beauty of the other party's plan, but they were also helpless about it, yesterday they hit the Japanese speedboat by surprise, with the speed of the difference between the speed of the ship and the first to approach the opponent's speedboat within dozens of feet, and finally a round of accurate and dense artillery fire wiped out the opponent.

But today, after yesterday's lesson, the number of Japanese speedboats has increased, and they have also kept a longer distance when monitoring the Hongtang fleet, and the sails have always been half-open, as long as they see the movement of the Hongtang warship, they can pull up the sail faster, lift the speed of the ship, and avoid the pursuit of the Hongtang warship.

After chasing and killing the Japanese speedboat several times in a row without success, Wu Daofu and the others gave up the idea of continuing to chase and kill the Japanese speedboat. But they still drove six warships to harass the Japanese fleet, as they had done yesterday. However, today, the Japanese fleet is no longer as passive as yesterday when hiding in the shallow water as the shrunken turtle, and when more than 100 sea ships saw the six Western-style warships that were gradually approaching, this Japanese fleet was like a large net spread out, and it was no longer as a whole as before, but was much more flexible, spreading out in groups on the sea area outside Amami Oshima.

At this moment, Wu Daofu and they are in a bit of a dilemma, continue to be as agitated as yesterday, but this Japanese fleet is scattered, and it is not easy to easily approach a small fleet and hit the other party with artillery fire, and more importantly, this one is careless, and is forced in front of him by others and entangles himself, then the follow-up other Japanese warships will definitely swarm in, and what awaits Wu Daofu and them in the end must be drowned by these hundred and ten Japanese ships.

If they left with one hand, Wu Daofu and the others were also unwilling, this was almost a day before the time when King Shang Ning promised to gather dozens of fishing boats for them, and it was possible to arrive in the evening. For such a long time, it's not a matter for Wu Daofu and them to be idle all the time!

However, after thinking about it for a long time, in the end, Wu Daofu and the others still died down, turned their heads and sailed back, it seemed that they planned to give up harassing the Japanese coalition army.

This Japanese coalition army also saw the opportunity, and when they saw that Hongtang's warship was withdrawn, they didn't chase after it, so they let the other party leave, making it clear that they wanted to stalemate with Hongtang like this, and waited until Hongtang himself was short of supplies.

The third watch, let's talk today!
