338 The decisive battle is about to begin

Another day passed like this, and after nightfall, the thirty fishing boats promised by King Shoning of the Ryukyus and their accompanying fishermen finally blended into Hongtang's fleet under the cover of night.

"Fortunately, Commander Wu, these fishing boats are the fishermen and sailors that my king has prepared for you, how do you need them to cooperate with you, even if you ask them!" Shang Zhong's waist was straight at this time, and he pointed at Wu Daofu and the dozen or so short, capable, dark and simple Ryukyuan people in front of them and said: "In the past, we still had more than a dozen decent warships, and last time we were also coerced by the old thieves of Huashan to fight with you, and the losses were not small, and the rest are still in his hands now. ”

"Well, then it's up to you, tomorrow when we go to war, you wait for the fishing boats to surround the left and right, but if there are any speedboats and fishing boats that want to invade our warship, you can stop them!" Wu Daofu saluted the dozen or so Ryukyu fishermen in front of him who were staring down at the ground and did not dare to make eye contact with them: "If you find white smoke and flames coming from the other party's ship, or when the other party's sailors abandon the ship and flee, you just need to stay away from this ship immediately." ”

This can be said to be a half-dead job, and if you are not careful, I am afraid that the fishermen of this boat will be wiped out in the self-explosion of the Japanese sailboat, and there will be no flesh and blood left. But Wu Daofu and they desperately need such a group of manpower to help them resist the harassment of these nimble and difficult sailing ships, otherwise, a careless accident, the Dutch have learned from the past, the Hongtang Fu ship is not as good as the Western-style warship, I am afraid that as long as a sailing ship explodes, it can destroy the action of a Fu ship.

This is also the reason why Wu Daofu and the others are willing to wait here for two days, with the help of these thirty fishing boats, plus more than ten fast boats in the fleet, which are enough to deal with most of the sailing boats and fast boats under the Japanese, unless the other party can collect seventy or eighty fast boats and other small boats in a short period of time.

In the past two days, Wu Daofu and his six warships have frequently harassed the Japanese fleet, in order to see if they can take this opportunity to destroy a few such fast boats. But after two days, even if this widow would rather be a shrunken turtle than take out this batch of fast boats with other uses, he made up his mind to deal with Hongtang's other lucky ships that did not have obvious speed advantages.

This is finally about to start the official battle, and the Hongtang team members, who have been idle for more than two days, finally have a place to vent their breath, and they are waiting for the battle horn to sound one by one.

In the past two days, those bastard guys on the Western-style warship have been showing off their previous achievements and prestige in front of themselves and others, which has aroused a bit of competitiveness among the other members of Hongtang's department. Looking at the fighting spirit of the team members below, Xiao Xiurong and others couldn't help but say a word in Wu Daofu's ear: "Morale is available!" ”

When the order to really set off came, the first to be dispatched were still the six main warships to which Wu Daofu belonged to them, and in the eyes of the Japanese speedboats stationed in the waters around Hongtang, it seemed that there was no difference from the previous two days.

However, unlike yesterday, the six warships led by Wu Daofu today did not hesitate to plunge into the tight net displayed by the Japanese yesterday, relying on the excellent performance of the warships to maneuver with the Japanese fleet, and on the other hand, they no longer bothered to fire the guns and main guns on the left and right sides.

On the calm sea, ripples were rowed out by warships, and from time to time the columns of water that soared into the sky jumped up, swaying a hundred flowers. The roar of artillery came and went, bows and crossbows and bullets flew on the sea, and for a time, Wu Daofu's six warships and more than 100 warships of the Japanese people were in full swing, and it was not lively.

It seems that the strength of Wu Daofu's six warships is good, and they can stalemate with more than 100 warships of the Japanese people. But if you look down from a high altitude, Wu Daofu's six ships, which rushed into the secret net of the Japanese people, were forced to dodge everywhere by the scattered and steady fleet of the Japanese people at this time.

In order not to be entangled by a fleet of Japanese ships coming from all directions, Wu Daofu and his fleet drove the ship to the maximum speed, and the sails were all used, and it was only after careful and repeated efforts that they barely maintained this stalemate.

"Look at the time, it's time to do it on their side!" Wu Daofu's face was slightly sweaty at this time, and his eyes looked at the shadows of the boats around him with a calm gaze.

They have been in a stalemate with more than 100 warships with more than 100 warships with six warships, and it is really not easy to work for more than an hour, and even he, a skilled man who has been in a hundred battles, is full of pressure in his heart at this time.

"Well, I guess they're already on the move!" Behind him, Xiao Xiurong looked at the sky and nodded.

Before the words fell, suddenly on the distant sea, a few fireworks disappeared in a flash, leaving only blood-red smoke floating in the air.

With these fireworks flashing, suddenly, the pressure on Wu Daofu's body was much lighter, and when they noticed it, they looked closely, I don't know when, the Japanese warships that were originally chasing Wu Daofu and their warships had already turned around and reversed at this time, and converged towards Amami Island, which was already far away from it.

"Hey, that's pretty cautious!" Wu Daofu turned to Xiao Xiurong and pouted, and said with a relaxed smile: "But since they are all chasing us here, they want to go back without paying a price, isn't that too interesting?" ”

After saying this, Wu Daofu's face turned pale, and he shouted murderously: "Sons, the opportunity is here, why don't you kill the enemy quickly with me!" ”

The "Dreadnought" took the lead, leading five warships to reverse the embarrassment of rushing left and right just now, and at this time the fire was full of firepower, chasing the tail of the Japanese fleet and killing it.

And on the horizon of the sea, an even larger fleet, also with full sails, with the help of the sea breeze, flew towards the Japanese fleet that was slowly converging into one.

Before, under the conscious seduction of Wu Daofu and them, the fleet of the Japanese people had been unconsciously taken away from the Amami Oshima dock by Wu Daofu and them for more than ten miles, and it was still at a downwind at this time, and it was very laborious and time-consuming to return to Amami Oshima.

As for Hong Tang's fleet, when the temptation was completed and left the battle, in order to prepare for this battle, Wu Daofu and the others occupied the upwind early and killed them from more than twenty miles away, which was not necessarily much slower than the Japanese fleet that was returning from the headwind.

Although the Japanese were clever and sent a large number of speedboats to monitor the Hongtang warship on the sea, as soon as most of Hongtang made a move, the speedboat released a signal to the Japanese fleet, so that Hongtang's chance to sneak attack was gone, but this did not mean that Hongtang's entire plan failed.

The fourth watch, I have told you countless times that I want to break out, this time I finally spoke once, although I did not achieve the goal of the fifth watch, but the fourth watch is also the most I have been these days. After all, I'm typing with a mobile phone, and it's slow and typos, and it's not easy to find information.

By the way, do you still have tickets in your hands? Why don't you know what to do?
