177 The Wyverns fight back.
However, it is obvious that Zheng Zhilong miscalculated, and Li Tianyang did not prepare to withdraw because of the sky as he wished, but caused a more fierce reaction from Hongmen due to his own actions.
Li Tianyang didn't want to be so consumed with the other party anymore, and the lingering sense of crisis in his heart made him want to solve this war as soon as possible.
This is the first time that Li Tianyang has this feeling, even if they were ambushed by Yuan Laoba's gang when they first debuted, he didn't feel this way at that time. Maybe it's because he has more combat experience, or maybe it's because his ability has improved, Li Tianyang didn't forget about this feeling of no reason, but took it into his own consideration.
In this case, Li Tianyang, who wants to solve the battle as soon as possible, does not care that the sky is gradually darkening at this time, but the sky that is gradually darkening is still conducive to his own battle, so that the flying dragon's artillery fire, which is more powerful than himself, has the problem of aiming at it due to the field of vision.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, Li Tianyang suddenly changed his original plan, and when the Flying Dragon Gang sent more people to assist in the offensive on his own island, he reversed the previous confrontation and temptation, and pressed all his forces without hesitation, and the whole army attacked Zheng Zhilong's headquarters at a certain distance from him.
In the dim vision, by the time Zheng Zhilong and the others discovered the signal of the Hongmen army's attack, the other party's sails had all been raised, and the unexpected offensive of Zheng Zhilong and them gave Li Tianyang a chance.
Zheng Zhilong's reaction was also timely, because they maintained a distance from the Hongmen fleet, even if the Hongmen fleet took the lead, but if they wanted to approach and attack Zheng Zhilong's headquarters, they had to be willing to do it by Zheng Zhilong!
Zheng Zhilong is not a rookie either, suddenly the forty Hongmen fleets that the whole army is pressing on, want to eat the only remaining dozen warships around him, how can he let it get his wish!
Zheng Zhilong's subordinates continued to harass the advancing Hongmen fleet with artillery fire, and at the same time took advantage of the familiar terrain of the island to slowly retreat, so that the speed of the Hongmen fleet could not move at full speed due to the proximity to the coastline, and the Hongmen fleet as a whole slowly became disjointed.
Zheng Zhilong's ideas and responses are excellent, but he lacks the existence of a staff team like the Hongmen Counselor's Office, and he can immediately make a corresponding and better plan while the main general changes his tactics.
When they found that their fleet was stretched out by the Flying Dragons Gang with the advantage of terrain, Dong Haoran and An Xianming immediately proposed a more reasonable plan by observing the battle situation.
Soon, more than ten warships in the rear of the Hongmen fleet were separated from it, turned their bows and joined the battle line against the Flying Dragon Gang to defend the island, while the remaining warships continued to occupy the numerical advantage under the leadership of Li Tianyang, and launched a fierce pursuit of Zheng Zhilong and others.
Zheng Zhilong and the others soon found that there were fewer Hongmen warships chasing their side, and they were all veterans who had experienced a hundred battles, and with a casual turn of their brains, they could guess where the divided troops went.
"What should I do, should I start the plan now?" On the warship that Zheng Zhilong was on, Zheng Zhilong and Yan Siqi stood in the tail, with hesitant expressions on each other's faces.
"Can you still hold on?" Yan Siqi was still a little hesitant in his heart, and asked Zheng Zhilong, who was more familiar with his fighters.
"I guess it's a bit hanging, the Hongmen team really lives up to its reputation, and the strength it shows in terms of connecting the battle is indeed stronger than our Flying Dragon Gang, if it weren't for the fact that the overall strength of the opponent's fleet has dropped a lot this time, I'm afraid that the Hongmen Fleet alone will be able to eat our entire Flying Dragon Gang." Whether he wants it or not, Zheng Zhilong must admit that there is a big gap between his gang and Hongmen.
Especially this time, in order to quickly expand their strength, there are many newly annexed pirate gang members who have been absorbed into the gang without too much training, which makes the overall strength of the gang drop a lot.
And in order to let these new gang members work hard for themselves, Yan Siqi and they even placed the families of these gang members on this island, which also made them have to work hard for their relatives.
But correspondingly, this has also become a big flaw for the Wyvern Gang now, forcing them to send waves of men in order to protect the island.
"Can't you just hold on to it?" Yan Siqi was still not very reconciled, he knew that this was a life-and-death battle related to their Jingpu team, and Hongmen could afford to lose, because their strength was there, but their Jingpu team couldn't lose, and losing meant that they were all finished.
"I'm worried that if we continue to fight, after we find out that we are at an absolute disadvantage, those wallgrasses will have other ideas!" Zheng Zhilong can climb to such a high position at such an age, there is indeed merit for him, at least he never drags his feet in the trade-offs.
“…… Hey, let's send a signal! With a long sigh, Yan Siqi said with pity.
The two reached an agreement, and an arrow quickly rose from their warship, turning into a blood-red firework in mid-air, burning through the dim sky.
At the same time, Zheng Zhilong's headquarters, which had been slowly retreating, was not retreating, and immediately turned the bow of the ship and headed towards the Hongmen fleet, which had the superior strength in front, as if he wanted to start a real battle with the Hongmen fleet.
Li Tianyang couldn't help but chuckle in his heart after the other party sent a signal, and then looked at the other party's next moves, everyone instructed the other party to start what countermeasures.
At this time, the situation was reversed, when Zheng Zhilong wanted to start a decisive battle with Hongmen, Li Tianyang and the others did not know what preparations the other party had next, but they no longer dared to put the only new force into it and were entangled by the other party.
"Retreat, send a signal to ask how the war is going in the rear!" Li Tianyang's heart rose to his throat, and the sense of crisis reached the highest point at this time, and his whole heart was pounding and beating, making him upset.
Soon the news of the war in the rear came back, making Li Tianyang and all of them almost fall into a kind of despair.
Fortunately, Li Tianyang soon recovered, and issued one order after another calmly: "Order Wu Jie and them to prepare to break through at any cost, and give up directly when they are in the center of the battle and unable to move the warship; The warships in the periphery, which had not yet been caught in the battle, managed to rescue the warriors from the battlefield on the basis of the closest battle arena. ”
"Pass the order, whoever dares to block the way to rescue will be killed directly, regardless of friend or foe!"
"Drop the mines, stop the Wyvern Gang headquarters approaching behind, and we will move forward at full speed to rescue our comrades in the rear."
