Pirate Avenger

79 Sea Battle
According to the information obtained before, this time the Li family fleet will dispatch a total of twelve warships.

On the side of the island, in addition to the eight warships of the family, it has successively obtained nine warships and more than forty large and small ships.Although there seem to be a lot of them, most of them are more suitable for offshore operations.And if seventeen warships were dispatched to the Ming Dynasty's waters to fight the Li family for a decisive battle, even if the Ming Dynasty implemented a sea ban policy, Lai Dao could not guarantee that such a large-scale military provocation would be ignored by the powerful Ming Dynasty.

Even though Lai Dao has great abilities, he is not arrogant enough to think that he has the strength to challenge the power of a country.

Fortunately, for some reason, the Li family gave up the support of Haiphong and chose an expedition.

This is exactly what Laijima wants.In this way, Kuroshima also designated an offensive and defensive strategy for offshore waters.

It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. The sudden appearance of fifteen warships completely disrupted the plan to come to the island.

Moreover, these fifteen warships are undoubtedly the main force level in terms of ship level and configuration, which puts Lai Dao, who had already made a wishful thinking, at a disadvantage.

In the case that the firepower of the Japanese iron artillery was not dominant, and the number of artillery was far less than that of the opponent, under such extremely unfavorable conditions, the vengeful Laishima chose a desperate tactic.Five warships and most of the small ships were sent to contain the other two phalanxes, and Lai Dao led the remaining twelve warships to storm the Li family camp.

Is it just that Preyla and Wenyu will make Lai Dao happy?They used practical actions to tell Lai Dao not to daydream.

The first to react was Preyla, who had rich combat experience.

"Although he wasn't well-known before coming to the island, he can be regarded as a man who has been in battle for a long time. He would use such a poor tactic. It seems that I thought highly of him before.

And even dare to ignore the existence of my Preyla, very well, let me tell you what a real navy is today!

Send me an order to order the First Fleet to quickly defeat the invading enemy, and the Second Fleet to move forward with its right wing and intercept the tail of the main fleet on the island. "

"Governor, why do you want to do this, I don't understand. Wouldn't it be better to let Lai Dao and the Li family fight to the death, and then we reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

"Bastard! How can I, Preyla, break my word! Now that I have agreed to the Li family, I must not only do things well, but also do it beautifully.

Also, take a long-term view.The Li family is far more useful than you might imagine.

Taking the future trade as an example, the indirect supply behavior of the Li family has opened up many markets for us in disguise, and they will not be taken advantage of by their local governments.This is the way to make money continuously, far more valuable than that silver mine.

Moreover, it is not a matter of a day or two for Kuhn to be jealous of our East Asian trade. Maybe in the future, we will rely on this ally to contain that bastard in Java's strategy of entering East Asia.Therefore, it is necessary to retain the Li family's maritime deterrence.

All right, let's pass the order. "

"Yes!"

On the part of the North Korean Navy, Wen Yu also issued an order to intercept after discovering the movement of the main fleet coming to the island.

Before this trip, Wen Yu did not expect that the Li family had persuaded Preyla to come to help in the battle, and there were ten warships as soon as they came.Can't help but look at Li Huamei with admiration.However, because of Preyla's arrival, Wen Yu's right to speak has also dropped a lot.

Wen Yu's ability to persuade the North Korean royal family to send troops is naturally impossible without conditions.Of course, as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, Wen Yu couldn't open his mouth like Preyla, so how much benefit he could gain depended to a large extent on the outcome of this battle.

In addition, Wen Yu also understands that if the Li family's fleet is broken up, it will be the weakest self who will suffer next, so no matter what the reason is, helping the Li family to relieve the pressure is the right choice.

Lai Dao was very depressed. The ships sent to harass did not buy much time for the main fleet due to the disparity in strength.Not only that, but during the advance, one warship was damaged by the Li family's fleet and unable to move forward, and the five warships behind the fleet, including an ironclad warship, were also entangled by two other phalanxes. There is something to be done.What's even more frightening is that another fleet of Southeast Asians has demonstrated its overwhelming strength, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will be able to free up their hands to deal with themselves.

As a last resort, Lai Dao ordered the paddlers to row with all their strength, and must rush into the Li family's fleet camp before the opponent ended the battle, and let him throw a mouse.

Naturally, the Li family would not allow Lai Dao to wish. While continuously shelling, they moved the rear troops to the two wings, trying to change their formation to encircle the Lai Dao fleet.It's a pity that the effect is not good because of the wind direction.

Seeing this, Huachang stood up.He chose to attack on the spot to buy time for the fleet to encircle the opponent.At the same time, the flag used to disguise as a French merchant ship was hoisted again, and Spark and Xingjiu even stood with their hands behind their backs, standing on the bow of the Huachang, facing the island far away.The meaning of provocation is beyond words.

Seeing the figures of the two Sparks, Lai Dao couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. Perhaps Lai Dao also understood that the possibility of a good death today is very small, so he ordered through gritted teeth: "Send the order, and all the staff are ready to follow you." I boarded the ship to kill the enemy, targeting the ironclad ship of the Li family.

At the same time, I sent an order to Nakoxing to let Yamato follow me, and I will kill those two beasts alive! "

With the order to come to the island, the crew began to prepare for the boarding battle.

However, Laijima far underestimated Spark's shamelessness. After successfully attracting the attention of the two ironclad ships, Spark, who had just greeted the captain and looked like he was fighting for life and death, immediately gave the order to retreat at full speed, and at the same time Li was still idle: "This bastard is really an idiot. I hooked my fingers a little, and this guy fell for it. I said it's been a long time..." Speaking of this, Spark discovered that he was still there just now. Xingjiu beside him has already covered his face and left.

The power system of the Huachang has been modified by Spark, and its speed is a little faster than the two ironclad ships behind. It is obviously close at hand, but it just can't catch up. This makes Lai Dao behind him jump up angrily, "This Killing a thousand swords! Don't fall into my hands! Work harder!" Lai Dao roared angrily!

But Spark plucked his ears, made a puzzled look, and said innocently: "What is Lai Dao yelling over there? I don't understand it at all! Xing Jiu, you should come here and translate for me!"

Hearing this, Xingjiu took another two steps back, with an expression on his face that I didn't know him very well.

With the continuous pursuit of the Huachang, the two ships of Lai Dao and Nagexing gradually left the fleet, and several warships of the Li family were already in place, and began to block the rear ships.At this time, the Lai Dao family's fleet was finally completely divided by the alliance.

However, Laijima no longer cares about those things.After this battle, Lai Dao will step down as the general of the navy, and even lose his family. That is to say, Lai Dao has almost nothing except his aging body.That being the case, there is nothing else to care about, as long as I can get revenge, I don't care about the flood after I die.

On the Huachang, looking at the ever-changing situation on the battlefield, Spark also put away his joking expression, and sent a serious order: "Let the brothers below stop. If this continues, the brothers' physical strength will not be able to sustain it." living.

For us, there is still a tough battle to fight, and this battle has just begun.

Xingjiu, are you interested in meeting this crippled tiger with me for a while? "

Xingjiu didn't say a word, only to see him pull out Muramasa from his waist, hold it tightly in his hand, and then solemnly said: "I will accompany you to the end!"
