30 Heavy losses
Misfortune is not a one-way street, Wu Daofu Tie blushed his cheeks, suppressed the strong murderous intention, and was busy rescuing the warriors who could still struggle in the sea, while driving away more and more whale sharks on the sea, even those pirates who fled far away did not care about chasing and killing.
But he didn't want to chase the killers, but they wanted to exterminate them, and the two warships, Zirat and Ugly Niu, who had not heard for a long time, sent out an alarm signal almost at the same time, and when they hurriedly returned to help, behind them, four or five more unscrupulous fleets appeared, and they went straight towards the battlefield where Wu Daofu and them were.
Combined with the arrows sent by the pirates before, Wu Daofu and the others didn't know that this group of sea ships coming from afar was probably not the sea ship that came to rescue them, but the god of death who took advantage of his illness to kill him.
At the same time, the pirates who didn't bother to chase and kill in order to rescue the soldiers who fell into the water had been rescued by a sea ship at this time, and it was the cargo ship that had just sent a distress signal to save them.
On the cargo ship at this time, the figure of the sailor who resisted just now had already disappeared, and more than 100 pirates wearing short shirts and holding all kinds of strange weapons were looking at Wu Daofu and their warship with murderous intent.
"I just think something is wrong with this ship!" Some team members glared at the cargo ship not far away with hindsight, eager to burn this group of bastards.
"Catch up!"
Wu Daofu looked at the salvage sailor operation that was still going on, as well as the thief ship brigade that was gradually approaching in the distance, and then looked at the cargo ship next to him, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down and said.
At this time, although the loss of their Ryukyu naval division was not small, the overall strength was still six or seven points, and the most important thing was that although their warship was hit by the explosion of two thief ships, the overall performance was not damaged, and the speed was not affected.
The only thing to worry about is that they need to salvage the warriors in the water before the opponent's fleet surrounds them, and then leave as soon as possible.
Therefore, Wu Daofu must not allow the thief ship in front of him to interfere with their rescue operations and interfere with their rescue operations: "Tell me to go on, first rescue the living soldiers, don't panic to rescue the dead soldiers' corpses, I will only give them two quarters of an hour, and then the whole fleet will break through along the northeast direction!" ”
“…… Be! ”
The team members walked down with blushing faces and conveyed Wu Daofu's order. This is the first time, the Hongtang team members really left in a hurry, in the previous battle of Wu Shuci, their Hongtang soldiers had never abandoned the corpses of their companions and fled.
The Hongtang team members have long been accustomed to bringing back the bodies of the fallen soldiers and burying them together so that they can have a companion on the Huangquan Road. However, now the team they have worked hard to build for more than a year will be defeated in the first battle, and even the corpses of their comrades will be discarded, which is really a great shame for them old people.
Wu Daofu didn't have time to taste the taste of shame, he needed to tightly entangle the thief ship on the opposite side that had already raised its sails and wanted to come over to make trouble.
In order to stop the opposite sea ship halfway, and to prevent the other party from entangling themselves and bringing themselves to the embarrassing position of receiving the battle, Wu Daofu and the others had to muster up 120,000 spirits, make all kinds of predictions, and use bows and crossbows to harass and attack the other party's pirates, so as not to let them disturb the warships behind them.
It's a pity that when Li Tianyang sold the warship to the king of Shangning in the Ryukyus, he didn't sell the artillery on the Hongtang warship to the king of Shangning, and although the king of Shangning had a lot of money, he was not stupid enough to arm the powerful artillery to the point that Wu Daofu and his warship went to the point, so until now, the long-range weapons on Wu Daofu's warship are some bows and crossbows and muskets.
It's okay to harass and harass the other person with such long-range weapons, but to say that they are used to inflict heavy damage on the other party is like a joke.
Fortunately, the cargo ship that the other party used as bait was a lucky ship with more than 1,000 materials, so in terms of steering and speed lights, it was not as good as Wu Daofu's warship, which allowed Wu Daofu and them to resist and entangle each other.
It wasn't until two quarters of an hour later that the thief ship brigade surrounded behind them was only five miles away from Wu Daofu and them. Immediately decided, Wu Daofu gave an order, and ten ruined Ryukyu naval warships left the battlefield and fled in the northeast direction.
And when they left, there were still many corpses of warriors rising and falling on the sea, shaking with the waves, and even observing carefully, some people's bodies still had the sound of faint breathing, and from time to time their bodies spasmed and twitched.
In the end, the pirate fleet still failed to catch up with Wu Daofu and their warships, although there were several warships in the thief fleet that were not inferior to the Ryukyu sailor warships, and even a few points faster than those warships with sail problems, but for the sake of caution, the pirates finally gave up the pursuit after chasing the Ryukyu sailor's fleet for more than an hour.
It wasn't until they got rid of the group of begging ghosts behind them that Wu Daofu and the others had time to sort out the losses they had suffered in this battle.
was already mentally prepared, but when the battle damage report was submitted, Wu Daofu and the others still shuddered, and their hearts ached.
The 1,200 soldiers who came out to patrol this time have so far left less than 1,000 people, even counting the corpses recovered from the sea, and the remaining 200 people have become ghosts on the sea, and Wu Daofu and they have not even had time to recover the corpses of these soldiers.
In the end, there were more than 300 soldiers who disappeared and were killed, most of whom were killed in the explosion or fell into the water, and only a few were killed by pirates in the battle.
There are also a lot of seriously injured display racks, many of which are internal injuries, which were smashed by all kinds of bloodthirsty people who fell from the sky, you know
Of the seven warships, two were seriously damaged and had to be sent to the dockyard on the main island of the Ryukyus to recuperate, and the remaining five were also damaged in varying degrees, although it did not affect the actual battle, but it was inevitable that there would be a slight decline in defense and speed lights.
