Text Chapter 976 The Battle of Amami Island (2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Facing Wang Renzeng's side who were attacking in a half-moon formation, although Zhang Bangchang left the main force with his European-style warships, the remaining old brothers were still very experienced and quickly formed a pendant formation to counterattack.

    ??Although after the rudeness in the Naha naval battle and the betrayal of some people within half a year.  But those who can still stay and continue to follow Li Xiang are the old brothers and their children who have followed Li Xiang for more than 20 years.

    People like these are definitely the most loyal people to Li Xiang.

    At the same time, these people are at sea all year round and have ten or twenty years of experience as pirates with Li Xiang.  Therefore, their rich experience in naval battles is quite impressive.

    Even without Zhang Bangchang¡¯s command, they still know what to do.

    "Furthermore, Zhang Bangchang rushed towards Wang Renzeng's left wing with 19 European-style warships. How could those old brothers not know his plan?

    No need to say anything at all, these experienced old pirates know what to do.

    These old pirates with ten or twenty years of sea experience are truly treasures.

    ¡°When these people go to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s place, Zhao Hongyu will definitely like them very much.

    "Brother, look, there are some warships rushing over from the opponent's right wing. It seems that they are heading for our left wing, and their speed is a bit fast."

    Wang Renzeng, who was launching a fleet to attack the Amami Island fleet, was reminded by his men.

    Although the men under Zheng Zhilong¡¯s command are all young and may not be able to compare with the old brothers under Li Xiang in some experiences, as a pirate, these people under Zheng Zhilong are still very qualified.

    ? ? Visually observing the speed of a ship is a basic skill for pirates in this era.  If you can't even do this, then this guy is definitely not a qualified pirate.

    Things like observing the stars to determine the direction, licking your fingers with your tongue to estimate the wind direction, and judging some things based on the conditions at sea are all things that must be mastered.

    Because in this era without systematic science and technological products, there is no way to do these things with manpower.

    Even though pirates are from a bad background, they still have to be proficient in these things.

    According to the words of another time and space, it is necessary to love one's profession and regard the industry as one's home.

    So, even as a small leader under Wang Renzeng, he can still see something with his naked eyes.

    Zhang Bangchang led 19 European-style warships and broke away from the large force.

    Therefore, they appear extremely conspicuous.

    In addition, because they are European-style warships, their speeds will be very different.  Anyone who is used to running on the sea all year round can tell the speed at a glance, let alone a pirate.

    Standing here with Wang Renzeng, with the naked eye he could only see the outline, and he couldn¡¯t see anything clearly at all.  If he were a modern person, he would not be able to distinguish these things.

    However, Wang Renzeng and the others, relying on these and a pair of naked eyes, saw some differences.

    What I have to say is that in some aspects, modern people still seem to be a bit degraded.

    I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of over-reliance on technology?

    After hearing what his subordinates said, Wang Renzeng immediately looked to the left and narrowed his eyes.

    After drumming for a while, Wang Renzeng¡¯s expression changed.

    ¡°Damn it, is it possible that Li Xiang has united with Franji people?  It's obvious from the speed that only Fran's warships have speed. What the hell is going on?

    For the pirates of the Ming Dynasty, the adventurers from Europe are all Franji people.

    In this era, only Zhao Hongyu can clearly distinguish those Europeans.

    When Wang Renzeng discovered something was wrong, he immediately picked up the telescope and put it on the intact eye, and looked at it carefully for a while.

    At this time, the fleet under Wang Renzeng was still three nautical miles away from the fleet on the Amami Island side.

    In the telescope, Wang Renzeng could clearly see that they were nineteen French warships.  This suddenly made Wang Renzeng, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly become in a bad mood, and the expression on his face became very ugly.

    It turned out to be Franji people. These guys knew they were unreliable.

    They took the money from Boss Zheng, but here they started to help againHelp Li Xianglai deal with us.  These guys are like mothers if they have breasts. They are just some ignorant white-eyed wolves.

    No wonder Li Xiang and the others didn¡¯t panic at all when they faced my fleet this time. It turned out to be because they had helpers.

    However, do you want to make a comeback with just nineteen French warships?

    Wang Renzeng sneered in his heart.

    However, he has put away his previous contempt.

    Although in his opinion Li Xiang had the assistance of 19 French robot warships, he was still at a disadvantage compared to himself in terms of strength.

    However, because he was with Zheng Zhilong, Wang Renzeng had a lot of dealings with Franji people.  And he also knew how powerful the Franconian warship was, so he also became nervous.

    "Everyone, be careful. There are nineteen Franji warships rushing towards the left wing. It seems that the Franjis have been secretly helping Li Xiang. I don't know if he wants these Franjis to help him deal with it."  What a price this guy Li Xiang paid for us."

    After putting down the telescope in his hand, Wang Renzeng said to the men around him with a very sad expression.

    "Spread this news and tell brothers to be more cautious."

    Wang Renzeng ordered.

    Because something unexpected happened, Wang Renzeng's mood became extremely bad.

    "Brother, what should we do now? Now that we have a little more time, we will rush to Li Xiang's fleet. Should we stop now and deal with those Franji people first?"

    One of his subordinates asked.

    Yes, the appearance of Fran's warship can be said to be a very unexpected thing.

    Everyone is very aware of the power of the Franji warships, so they all think that they should deal with these Franji first?

    Wang Renzeng shook his head: "No! Continue to rush over and fight with Li Xiang and the others! It's this time now, even if we stop, we can't do it. Instead of stopping and letting the fleet fall into chaos, we should rush forward in one go.  Go over and destroy Li Xiang's ships in a short period of time. After killing Li Xiang and others, we will deal with those Franji people."

    Wang Renzeng is not stupid. How can he stop the charging fleet now?

    If he does this, the entire fleet will be in chaos.

    You must know that sending messages in this era is very troublesome. He has no way to equip every captain with a walkie-talkie for effective communication like Zhao Hongyu did.

    Therefore, if he orders to stop advancing and charging, not only will it waste time, but it is also likely to cause the fleet to fall into short-term chaos.

    Therefore, Wang Renzeng would not think about such an order that might put him at an extremely disadvantageous position.

    Since that¡¯s the end of the matter, he can just rush over.

    Given the current situation, we just need to eliminate Li Xiang and his fleet first.

    As for the Franji people after destroying Li Xiang and the others, just turn around and deal with them.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? but do not think that the French warships are powerful and fast, but their side has a numerical advantage.

    Therefore, although Wang Renzeng's mood became very bad, he did not think that Li Xiang's side could achieve the final victory with the assistance of the Franji people.

    ¡°Besides, these Folangji people are extremely selfish guys.

    They came to help Li Xiang for money.

    Therefore, Wang Ren had estimated that these Franji people would definitely not fight to the death.

    By then, as long as you eliminate Li Xiang and the others, these Franji people will retreat, and you won't have to fight them at all.

    After all, the Franji people traveled across the ocean to come here, and they are just rootless duckweeds here.  There are some very small losses, but they are very serious things for them.

    Because it is very difficult for them to obtain supplies of personnel and materials here.

    "What Wang Ren never thought of was that the Franchise ships he saw were not operated by Franchise men.

    At the same time, it was not the Franji people who were bribed by Li Xiang to help him as he thought.

    Because these ships were given to Li Xiang by Zhao Hongyu, and the people who drive and operate these ships are also Li Xiang's elite sailors.

    It can be said that Wang Renzeng made a mistake in judgment again.

    Some of the men surrounding Wang Renzeng had already begun to give instructions to the sailors around them, asking them to climb to the ground.The orders from the general on the pole to continue the charge and to be careful on guarding against the enemy on the left were passed down by semaphore.

    At least, after this order is issued, it will take half an hour to be conveyed to all ships.  This shows that it is not unreasonable for Wang Ren to not want to stop charging.

    At this time, the wind direction on the sea is northerly, which is extremely beneficial to the Amami Island fleet.

    ¡°Wang Renzeng¡¯s side was traveling against the wind, so their speed was greatly restricted.

    Based on the favorable conditions of the wind direction, the Amami Island fleet formed a cone formation, and they could quickly pass through Wang Renzen's fleet and then turn around.

    But Wang Renzeng and the others, who were traveling against the wind, would have more trouble turning around.

    As time went by, the two sides finally slowly got closer to each other.

    The clippers from the Amami Island side and Wang Niso¡¯s side started the battle first.

    They all lit the straw on the bow of the boat, and then began to shoot the enemies with arrows at each other.  At the same time, they tried their best to ram their clippers towards the enemy's warships.

    For a moment, the cry of killing shook the blue sea under the sky (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
