The battle situation is not subject to Zhao Xingdou's will, and as a commander who has just learned how to command battle, Zhao Xingdou is unqualified.

If he could harden his heart and not rescue the warship that he had misplaced, they would not have fallen into the passive situation they are in now, so that the six "Yang Fan-style" warships, which are the strongest in flexibility and combat effectiveness, will be blocked.

However, all this is if, he can only blame himself for caring too much about his subordinates, and sending himself into the other party's encirclement.

In the end, with Zhao Xingdou and their unwillingness, they and the pirate fleet led by Yuan Laoba started a decisive battle on the first day!

had to fight a decisive battle, thinking that he could rely on the flexibility and artillery power of his own warships to maneuver with Yuan Laoba and other warships on the sea, at least before the shells carried by their warships were exhausted, they were not in a hurry to fight the opponent.

Continuing to consume, Zhao Xingdou and they were confident that at least before the decisive battle, they could let Yuan Laoba's fleet lose more than 1/3 of the ships, so that they could face fewer enemies in the decisive battle and reduce their own losses.

But when their six main warships were encircled, and even he, the deputy commander, was surrounded, how could the other warships in Hongtang stand idly by.

The final result was that more than a dozen 400 warships of Hongtang swarmed with salvo shots to open a gap in Yuan Laoba's fleet and plunged straight into it.

However, I didn't expect that in such a passive situation, Hong Tang's fleet was much stronger than if it was divided and disintegrated by the other party as before, because most of their fleets were concentrated together, which was more conducive to them concentrating their forces against the enemy.

You must know that the warriors of Hongtang dare not say that they are much stronger than the pirates in other aspects, but when it comes to multi-person combat cooperation, these pirates may not be the opponents of Hongtang's warriors.

And everyone should also know that the battle formation cooperates, the more people can play its role, in the past, the Hongtang team members were at a disadvantage in the number of warships, and many times one warship was stalemate with two or three enemy ships, and was attacked from all directions.

But now, although the number of pirates such as Yuan Laoba is still more than their Hongtang warriors, because the Hongtang warships that broke into the Hongtang are connected, the pirates can't give full play to their numerical advantages.

It wasn't until Hongtang's four hundred warships rushed to the depths and met Zhao Xingdou and their six warships that they fought, and after they had no worries, they gave full play to this advantage.

Especially this time, Zhao Xingdou and their large-scale use of grenades at any cost, in this kind of battle scene with a clear distinction between Wei and Jin, they blew up the pirates led by Yuan Laoba and their mothers, so uncomfortable!

Bengang's side actually knew that in front of the princes of one side, Hongtang wanted to really help the Ryukyu Kingdom resist the attack of Samobon, so they could only use their own advantages to find a way to solve the problem from the sea.

In addition to the fact that the sailor Hongtang can handle it, the only remaining advantage is their increasingly perfect use of new firearms such as grenades.

As the grenade was tested in battle again and again, and achieved good results, Hong Tang's attention to the grenade gradually increased, and there was no longer the situation where he even forgot to use this sharp weapon at the beginning.

And this time Zhao Xingdou is also ruthless, since they have already entered the decisive battle involuntarily, then Zhao Xingdou has to think about the future battle situation, you must know that in addition to this gang of pirates, Hongtang has a more powerful opponent that they need to defeat, that is, the Japanese army that has already landed.

Therefore, although Zhao Xingdou and the others were forced into a decisive battle, they also needed to defeat Yuan Laoba and other pirates in this sea area as soon as possible and with minimal casualties.

I don't know when the members of Hongtang have gradually stopped seeing this kind of pirate at sea as an opponent, although the pirates surrounding them at this moment have at least a thousand more fighters than their team, but in the eyes of Hongtang warriors, there is no such nervousness.

This is not the first time that Yuan Laoba and Hong Tang have fought, many years ago, Yuan Laoba's gang had a numerical advantage, pressing Hong Tang to the ground and rubbing, the elite soldiers of both sides fought evenly when they fought, and in the end, if it wasn't for the sudden killing of the Qiongzhou Wild Shark, Hong Tang was afraid that he would have been the soul of his thin monkey Yuan Laoba's knife.

However, after a few years, when Yuan Laoba and them faced Hong Tang's team this time, their first feeling was that they were so strong! This is not to say that Hong Tang's warriors are strong in arms with their gang of brothers, but when Hong Tang fell into silence and faced the attack of their pirates, he showed a posture of being light and proficient, which made these pirates feel like they were facing the navy army of the Ming Dynasty many years ago, or even stronger.

The more they fought, the more frightened Yuan Laoba became, and the same number, or even more of them, when facing the formed Hongtang team members, they were proud of their martial bravery and cruelty, and in front of the Hongtang soldiers, they couldn't set off half a wave.

On the other hand, the Hongtang soldiers, all with calm faces and resolute expressions, even if they were wounded, they did not see the slightest timidity and panic, and after a while, someone took his place and took him down to heal his injuries.

And from time to time, the pirate crowd flashed, and accompanied by a large number of people in an area fell grenades, as if they were life-urging bullets, so that these pirates had nothing to do, and in the end, the pirates who had the advantage in numbers were beaten back step by step by the Hongtang warriors who were obviously much smaller in number, and the casualties were not counted.

Until dark, the Hongtang team members, who were originally still surrounded, because of the relationship between the ships and each other at this time, let their formation also spread out on the sea, killing a piece of blood on the deck of the ship.

Of course, the pirates who shed the most blood here are naturally the pirates, who are just a group of rabble, fighting with a group of Hongtang team members who have been required and trained by the regular army, and have lost the advantage of weapons and geographical advantages, where is still Hongtang's opponent, and they were driven by Hongtang soldiers to the edge of this conjoined sea boat floating island, and those who can't go have become corpses with blood on the ground.

Yuan Laoba's whole person collapsed all of a sudden in this more than an hour of competition, and he seemed to have suddenly become many years old after losing his entire fighting spirit, especially his whole spirit had collapsed, and he was no longer a heroic figure on the sea, but an old man who was gradually waiting for death!
