There were also some arsonists that were not stopped by the chains and continued to sail towards Wu Yizhou's fleet. After all, Liu Xiang was willing to spend his blood and used nearly 50 ships as arsonist ships, and there would definitely be fish that slipped through the net and rushed through the blockade line.

But the arsonists didn't work as well as they should. As soon as the sporadic arsonist ships approached the fleet, they were crushed by the intensive artillery fire of the fleet! Either the cabin is flooded and slowly sinks; Either the sails were beaten to shreds and lay on the surface of the sea burning. Even a few arsonist ships that were close to the fleet were easily dodged. Apart from delaying the fleet's speed, the arsonist did not serve its due purpose.

Wu Yizhou used this trick to easily disintegrate the offensive of Liu Xiang's arson ship. In fact, Wu Yizhou didn't care whether his own arson boat could work at all. Anyway, your own forces are superior, just eat the opponent in a dignified manner!

In this way, in less than an hour after the two sides met, the first move of both sides was finished, and it was a draw!

When Liu Xiang saw the other party's arson ship shooting out iron chains on his own boat, he was also stunned by this strange scene! But he immediately understood the other party's strategy. He knew that his first move would definitely not work as it should, but at least it delayed the other party's speed. That's a good thing, too.

He lowered his binoculars and ordered the fleet to speed up. Prepare to reverse course as soon as you approach the headland of Kinmen Island and cut back to the tail of the opposing fleet.

Wu Yizhou also discovered Liu Xiang's intentions. If he is allowed to gain the upper hand, he will naturally backlash his own queue that day, which is not good for him. After Wu Yizhou made a few strokes on the chart, he immediately gave a resolute order to use the opportunity of his side to reduce the speed of the ship to make a 180-degree U-turn!

When the turn was completed, his course would intersect with Liu Xiang's course. If Liu Xiang's speed is fast, he can also get close to the tail of Liu Xiang's fleet. No matter what result is achieved, Wu Yizhou will not suffer.

Wu Yizhou quickly commanded the fleet of ships to make a big turn, directly trying to cut into the back half of Liu Xiang's fleet. But Liu Xiang was unmoved, and he commanded the fleet to quickly adjust the position of the flagship to the left, and the pirates followed him to turn.

Liu Xiang's fleet also drew a small bend in the sea, and immediately took the upper hand to speed up the ship, and swept past the front of Wu Yizhou's fleet!

While passing by, the pirates at the end of the fleet finally found an opportunity to shoot at Wu Yizhou's fleet! Wu Yizhou's flag is Liu Pei's original flagship Laizhou Mansion, since there is a new flagship Shandong, Liu Pei will hand over the Laizhou Mansion to Wu Yizhou.

The Laizhou Mansion must have suffered the most blows. But the sailors immediately returned the color. Returned fire with dense artillery fire. Both teams staggered through with minor injuries.

The two sides just wanted to play hide and seek, going around in circles on the sea. Sometimes separated, sometimes staggered. Every time everyone approached, a fierce artillery battle broke out. Each of the twin engines suffered damage, but the damage was minor for the respective fleets as a whole.

After the two sides were entangled for a long time, a staff officer raised his upper body from the chart and said, "General, this Liu Xiang's intention to delay is too obvious!" Isn't he afraid that we will see something? ”

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Liu Xiang just thinks that we can see what we can do with him?" Now that the fleets of the two sides have taken care of each other, they will not be separated easily! ”

The staff officer frowned and said, "But the commander is still waiting for my reinforcements!" ”

Wu Yizhou smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, there will be changes soon!" ”

In fact, the staff officers also knew that the situation of the war was about to change. Because the waters around Coro Bay are relatively narrow, it is indeed difficult for the two fleets to move around here. The two sides have exchanged fire many times, which shows that the fleet is getting closer and closer, and it may become entangled at some point.

Just when the two sides staggered past for the last time, Wu Yizhou's flagship suddenly waved the banner of the whole army retreating. And its flagship began to slowly turn and drive outward. The captains of the ships did not know what had changed, but the habit of obeying military orders prompted them to follow the flagship's steer and prepare to sail out to sea. But the captains of the ships frantically waved flags to the flagships and demanded explanations.

At this time, the direction of Wu Yizhou's fleet withdrawal was against the wind. The speed of the fleet is comparatively slow. But

The intention to retreat has already been clearly demonstrated.

Inside the flotilla opposite. Liu Xiang wiped the sweat from her face and began to scold. In the long-term wrangling, Wu Yizhou put a lot of pressure on Liu Xiang! If Liu Xiang dealt with it unfavorably any time, the fleet would be entangled by Wu Yizhou, forming a confrontation situation.

But Liu Xiang is also bitter at this time, and he can't say it! Because he didn't dare to leave the position of Coro Bay at all. After all, there was no radio communication at this time, and once he left the position of Coro Bay and could not find him when the Dutch fleet arrived, then his hard work would be in vain!

And the red-eyed dragon king who finds out that he has been fooled will be alert, and maybe he will mobilize the entire fleet to deal with him, and maybe he will really not be able to escape at that time!

But at this time, he found out that Wu Yizhou was trying to get out of the battlefield, which made him react immediately. I've been avoiding the war for too long. The other party may have figured out that this is a trap and is ready to get out of here. But Liu Xiang didn't want them to leave. Liu Xiangruo felt that if he missed this opportunity, he was afraid that he would never have the opportunity to annihilate some of the main forces of the Red Eye Dragon King.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Xiang decided to take the risk of cutting off a few ships at the tail of Wu Yizhou's fleet and trying to drag Wu Yizhou's fleet down. So Ruka immediately ordered the fleet to turn to the northeast. The reason why Liu Xiang turned in this direction was deliberate.

After Liu Xiang turns to the northeast, his fleet will occupy the position of the oblique crosswind. There will be a certain speed bonus. He was able to cut off ten boats around Wu Yizhou's tail as smoothly. Moreover, there is also a hidden thought, that is, when Wu Yizhou strikes reflexively, as long as the bow of the ship is turned to the northwest direction, a tailwind situation will be formed, and it will quickly break away from the encirclement of Wu Yizhou's fleet.

The staff officer who had just spoken had outlined the locations of the two fleets on the chart, and then he dropped his pencil and said indignantly: "This Liu Xiang is too cunning!" He still has room for this course, and he can turn to the downwind position and escape at any time! I dare say that as soon as we turn around, Liu Xiang will run away! ”

At this time, Wu Yizhou dropped the telescope and shouted loudly: "Send a signal, turn around!" It becomes a horizontal queue and goes around! ”
