- When Li Xiang returned, he had a good understanding of various data about the imperial warships. For example, he had a good understanding of the range of artillery, the power of various shells, and the speed of imperial warships, and kept them in his mind.
At the same time, because he himself is a pirate leader who has been on the sea for many years, he knows the ships used in the Eastern Sea very well.
Because of understanding, everything has comparison.
It was through such a comparison that he clearly understood what was so scary about the imperial warships.
The fast speed allows the fleet to quickly attack the enemy, and at the same time, it can also quickly escape from dangerous places. Even before the enemy has time to react, they can achieve their goals themselves.
When the enemy wants to surround us, we can also use this speed to ruin the enemy's plan.
At the same time, because there are long-range artillery on the ship, this can keep oneself at a safe distance to deal with the enemy. On the contrary, the enemy has no way to get close to him and let them enter the effective killing range.
To put it simply, I can hit you, but you can¡¯t hit me.
In such a situation, you are simply taking advantage, and being an enemy is absolutely unlucky.
And after understanding the speed of the imperial warship, Li Xiang was so determined and indifferent when Liu Dashen reminded him.
Of course he also wanted to catch Wang Renzeng, and he wanted to kill that guy more than anyone else. After all, what Wang Ren did in Naha was really outrageous.
If Li Xiang cannot avenge those dead brothers and their families, then how can he continue to be his boss and lead these old brothers who are still following him in danger.
Since Wang Renzeng came to the door this time, it is tantamount to saying that God is going to destroy him.
¡°Li Xiang certainly didn¡¯t want to miss such a good opportunity.
Wang Renzeng saw the opportunity very quickly. When Li Xiang showed that he was an enemy, he immediately turned the boat around and ran away.
But even so, Li Xiang is confident that he can catch up with Wang Renzeng.
"Send the order, send two warships to leave the battlefield, and capture the escaped Wang Renzeng. I don't want him to die, I want to see him brought to us alive, and then I also want him to taste being killed. What it¡¯s like to be tortured and killed.¡±
Li Xiang turned around and gave an order to a genetic human adjutant assigned to him.
Although Li Xiang has been accepted by Zhao Hongyu, he has also been appointed as the Admiral of the Kyushu Navy.
But it is still necessary to arrange a few adjutants around Li Xiang.
¡°After all, Zhao Hongyu is not a fool. Do you mean that if you say you are relying on me, then I really have complete trust in you?
This is the role of the adjutant.
Normally you can¡¯t see anything, they are just like decorations.
Once the critical moment comes, you can see their role.
Li Xiang is also very clear about this arrangement.
However, he was not dissatisfied because of this.
He is not young anymore and knows the seriousness of the matter.
Especially since he took the initiative to seek refuge in the past, it is quite good for the Crown Prince to accept him. Moreover, people are far apart from each other. It is impossible for you to say a few nice words and others will really believe you.
So, Li Xiang had no objection to this.
On the contrary, he happily accepted the existence of an adjutant.
The adjutant took out the walkie-talkie, turned on the signal, and conveyed Li Xiang's order.
Soon, the two warships on the outside broke away from the formation and sailed away from the battlefield. And after they escaped from the battlefield, they quickly drove towards the direction where Wang Renzeng fled.
At this time, only fifteen minutes or a quarter of an hour had passed since Wang Renzeng escaped.
In such a short period of time, Wang Renzeng could not run very far even if he ran.
Even if Li Xiang climbed up to the high pole and picked up the high-power monocular telescope in his hand, he could still see Wang Renzeng's flagship.
"You're shocked. I didn't expect that guy Wang Renzeng actually took advantage of my absence to lead a surprise attack on our Amami Island. It seems that he really doesn't take us men seriously." After Li Xiang gave the order , then turned around to comfort Zhang Bangchang and Liu Dascar.
He no longer paid attention to Wang Renzeng¡¯s question, because he knew very well that it was impossible for Wang Renzeng to run away.?
"Hmph, if Zheng Zhilong comes in person, maybe I can weigh it up. But you, Wang Renzeng, are such a fool, you actually want to ride on my head. I think he is really confused. "
"Brother, why did Zheng Zhilong not come in person this time, but sent Wang Renzeng?" At this time, Li Xiang's warship had moved again, and Zhang Bangchang asked after he stood firm.
Since leaving the damaged Spanish warship, Zhang Bangchang has completely relaxed.
Now he doesn¡¯t have to be so nervous anymore. Now that Li Xiang is back, the burden on his shoulders has been lifted.
"It is estimated that in the battle with Naha last year, we were defeated and lost by Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong thought that we were no longer relevant. In addition, after we were defeated, he has become a veritable overlord of this sea. In addition, he also You are so young, you should be more or less proud now."
After Li Xiang saw Zhang Bangchang asking this question, he thought about it and answered it himself.
In Li Xiang¡¯s eyes, Zheng Zhilong is still too young.
Such a young person has a huge power, how can it be not proud?
And in the eyes of the other party, I already belong to a role that will not cause any waves. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong felt that there was no need to use all his strength to deal with him.
He only needs to send one of his men to lead hundreds of warships, and then he can be dealt with.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this.
If he hadn¡¯t taken refuge with the crown prince of the Song Empire and accepted the 19 warships sent by the other party, then Li Xiang would really be in such a situation.
Therefore, Wang Renzeng led his fleet, and this time he can definitely deal with people like Amami Island.
Fortunately, there were 19 warships sent by the crown prince earlier, and these warships performed extremely well in this battle. If they hadn't worked so hard, Amami Island might have fallen before he led the fleet back. .
"Okay, now let's clean up the mess. I think it won't be long before Wang Renzeng will be caught."
Because of Wang Renzeng's escape and the addition of Li Xiang and others, Wang Ren's fleet, which originally had an absolute advantage, has collapsed.
When someone starts to retreat, a chain reaction occurs in an instant.
The warships under Wang Renzeng's command all began to withdraw from the battlefield and fled in all directions.
¡°After all, even their leader Wang Renzeng ran away, what a fool for little guys like them.
The leader¡¯s life is life, isn¡¯t the life of these little minions not life?
As long as someone takes the lead, nothing can be stopped.
"Moreover, now that they have lost many large warships, even if they continue to fight, they will end up with the entire army being annihilated.
Since this is the case, it is better to save yourself.
Yes, Zhang Bangchang and the others had destroyed many large warships before. At the same time, the main fleet of Amami Island also killed many ships in the melee.
After Li Xiang returned with thirty imperial warships and joined the naval battle, the imperial warships brought great destruction in a short period of time with their powerful firepower and explained hulls. .
Now the fleet that Wang Renzeng brought only consisted of eight fighting ships, three building ships, and dozens of small clippers.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When he came earlier, he came in a mighty force, with more than a hundred large warships and hundreds of fast ships. How long ago had it become such a miserable situation? It was beyond their imagination.
As the opponent's warships fled one after another, the naval battle gradually came to an end.
Except for two of the thirty imperial warships sent to chase Wang Renzeng and one which was Li Xiang's flagship, the remaining twenty-seven warships began to chase down the fleeing enemies.
It can be expected that even if these guys escape here temporarily, they will not end well in the end.
Then, the rest becomes easy.
Li Xiang hurriedly started to rescue people who fell into the water during the naval battle. At the same time, he was also stabbed by the enemy who fell into the water.
In the dictionary of pirates, there is no such word as kindness.
When Zheng Zhilong fought against Naha, he was not polite to them either.
So, of course Li Xiang doesn¡¯t need to be polite to them now.
At least, Li Xiang will give them a happy life, unlike Wang Renzeng.They tortured and killed them. So Li Xiang feels that she is a very kind person.
There were not many people on Amami Island who could fight, but now after such a naval battle, a lot of people were lost.
On the sea surface, there are floating broken boards and sawdust everywhere, and more of them are corpses with missing arms and legs. The originally blue water was now stained red with blood.
The entire quiet naval battle battlefield now looks like a picture of hell on earth.
"This is Zhang Laosan."
About an hour later, the deck where Li Xiang was was already filled with cold corpses. He stopped when he reached one of the corpses with half of its head collapsed. Zhang Bangchang squatted down and turned over the corpse, then raised his head and said to Li Xiang.
This is an old brother who has been with me for twenty-three years.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Finally has a way to survive. I didn't expect to die here.
Li Xiang couldn't help but feel sad, and tears could not help but fall in her eyes.
"He also has a thirteen-year-old grandson at home. Apart from that, he has no other relatives." Li Xiang knew the situation of this old brother, so she murmured.
"Take it back and bury him generously on Amami Island. His grandson will be given a future and he will be a member of the Kyushu Navy. Twelve dollars a month will be enough for him to live a comfortable life.", standing next to Li Xiang. Yang Biao, the nephew beside him, whispered a suggestion to Li Xiang.
"No, the navy is very dangerous. His grandson cannot be allowed in. I think it is better to send him to America. After all, there are two hundred acres of fertile land to claim. Then he can live a peaceful life. By the way, look for him. If we have an opportunity, we can go to the Ming Dynasty to buy girls and marry them to the children on the island. This can be regarded as our doing our best."
Li Xiang rejected the proposal of his nephew Yang Biao.
The Kyushu Navy is not a safe place. There may be conflicts here at any time.
Especially under the circumstances where Zheng Zhilong is still eyeing him, these children cannot be allowed to take risks.
"Compared to the Kyushu Navy, America is a pretty good place.
What¡¯s more, there are still 200 acres of fertile farmland.
So, when these children go to America, they can be good citizens with peace of mind. There is no need to be as frightened as they are now.
There were many corpses on the deck, all of them Amami brothers who died in this naval battle.
?????????????????????Among these people are young, middle-aged, and some with gray hair. Many of them have been following Li Xiang for a long time, and they were even the ones whose son continued to follow Li Xiang after his father died.
At this moment, Li Xiang seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and his whole person seemed a little decadent.
¡°After all, as I get older, I no longer have the mentality I had when I was young, where I can let go of everything.
As a person who is almost sixty years old, Li Xiang can be regarded as an old man in this era.
And what an old man likes most is to recall his youthful experiences with familiar people. Li Xiang is like this now. He also likes to chat and laugh with his old brothers, recalling and forgetting things from his youth.
What I fear most is watching these old brothers leave me one by one.
But no matter what he is afraid of, many of the old brothers he is familiar with have now closed their eyes and become cold corpses.
They will no longer chat loudly with themselves, recalling the glory they once had, and some of the dissolute things they have done.
Sensing that his uncle was not in a good mood, Yang Biao began to carry the corpses with his companions, arranged them neatly, and stopped trying to persuade his uncle.
In this naval battle, the people of Amami Island suffered great losses. Half of them died in this naval battle.
Facing such a result, Li Xiang felt really sad.
These are all his old brothers, or relatives left by his old brothers to take care of him.
But now they have turned into a cold corpse. How can he have the face to face those old brothers in the future?
It seemed like we were about to have a new life, but something like this happened.
They are all damned Wang Renzeng, and they are all damned Zheng Zhilong.
If it weren¡¯t for them, these old brothers of mine would not have died.
This is the person who has followed him until now and is still loyal(Unknown)??To be continued.
