Chapter 940: A Glimmer of Life

Nangong Xianming was desperate, his order had just been issued, and Li Erhu had not yet had time to act. Suddenly, the pirate army's warships were surrounded by hot air balloons.

Hot air balloons are only unique to the Dongjiang Army, and seeing these hot air balloons surrounded from all directions, Nangong Xianming still has a reason that he doesn't understand.

Seeing that he has been surrounded by the Dongjiang Army, there is absolutely no good result in fighting. They are all people who have experienced a hundred battles, and they have tested the strength of the Dongjiang Army, in contrast, where is Nangong Xianming still in the mood to fight again.

It is said that the richer and more powerful a person is, the more greedy he is for life and afraid of death at a critical moment. On the contrary, those who are bare-footed can face death calmly. Nangong Xianming has been a pirate all his life, and now he has a supreme status. The wealth he had accumulated for most of his life made him retreat.

"It's important to save my life, I can't die here......" Nangong Xianming muttered in his mouth, and his chaotic brain began to spin, trying to find a way to escape.

Li Erhu was very anxious, he had been waiting for Nangong Xianming to give an order. The Dongjiang Army has already surrounded it, and if it does not respond quickly, it will inevitably suffer a catastrophe. I wanted to remind Nangong Xianming, but I always didn't dare to say it. When Li Erhu was hesitating, he suddenly heard a loud shout.

"Li Erhu, give you thirty warships, and immediately go to capture Fang Xiaohai. If you still have any mistakes this time, bring yourself up and see you. Nangong Xianming's face was cold, and his cold gaze was projected on Li Erhu's body.

Not daring to hesitate, Li Erhu immediately surrendered his order and hurriedly resigned and stepped forward to arrange. Nangong Xianming, on the other hand, began to shift his gaze to the remaining pirate leaders.

"Now that the Dongjiang Army is attacking on a large scale, if anyone wants to live, then take out your courage and fight to the death with the Dongjiang Army. The commander will personally supervise, if anyone dares to retreat, there will be no forgiveness! Nangong Xianming roared loudly.

"We will obey the orders of the marshal, and we will never dare to have two hearts." A dozen pirate leaders responded in unison.

Nangong Xianming seemed to be quite satisfied, he eased his mood, and said coldly again: "Then what are you waiting for, go and prepare for the battle immediately." ”

"Yes, Dashuai!"

A dozen or so pirate leaders did not dare to hesitate at all, and resigned one after another.

The speed of the Dongjiang Army was extremely fast, and dozens of hot air balloons were already less than three nautical miles away from the pirate army in such a short time. And this, with the naked eye alone, can already be seen, closely following the Dongjiang Army warship behind the hot air balloon.

Holding the binoculars, Nangong Xianming looked around him, and he found that the forces of the Dongjiang Army were evenly distributed. He would have had to take advantage of the loophole, which would have been discouraged.

There is no hole to exploit, so there is only another way to think of another way. Nangong Xianming has gone from a small family to his current status, he does not rely on real strength, but every time he encounters danger. He can always give himself a chance to live, commanding operations is not his specialty, what he is good at is how to escape in danger.

"Boom ......"

Li Erhu, who took the lead in the battle, had already made a close encounter with Fang Xiaohai's fleet, and the two sides began to bombard each other. Immediately after, the other pirates who went out to fight with the hot air balloons of the Dongjiang Army also began to fight.

In an instant, the entire sea began to become murderous and chaotic. Black cannonballs and arrows flew everywhere in the sky.

Nangong Xianming was still in place and did not move, he stood on the bow of the ship, and the telescope kept observing the entire chaotic battlefield. Slowly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

If the two armies want to survive in battle, they must be chaotic, and the more chaotic they are, the more chance they have to escape. The opportunity that Nangong Xianming needed had come, and he immediately turned around and returned to the cabin, quickly changing into the clothes of an ordinary sailor.

In the stunned eyes of many guards, Nangong Xianming shouted coldly: "Pass the order, the whole army will break through from the south direction, and no one is allowed to retreat!" ”

The loyal guards did not hesitate at all, and quickly conveyed Nangong Xianming's order to the whole army. All the ships of the pirate army began to turn their bows and break through in the direction of due south according to Nangong Xianming's order.

Knowing the pirate army's intentions, the Dongjiang Army was naturally not slow to react, and then immediately began to concentrate its firepower to converge in the direction of due south. At this time, the other three directions were exposed, and Nangong Xianming seized the opportunity and quietly changed to an ordinary small warship. Then the remaining thirty or so warships rushed out from these three directions in three ways.

Nangong Xianming knew that the more dangerous the place, the safer, and the warship he was on did not break through to those safest places. Instead, he rushed directly to the direction with the largest number of troops in the Dongjiang Army, and there were five warships under his leadership, which was clearly here to send them to death and attract the attention of the Dongjiang Army.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, leaving the generals with very little time to think. Chen Qiyu clearly saw through the warship of the pirate commander, and broke through in other directions, and only five inconspicuous small warships came to his side. Without any doubts, Chen Qiyu immediately ordered to pursue the warships of the commander who were preparing to break through.

As for the five small pirate warships rushing over, he didn't care at all. Seeing the reaction of the Dongjiang Army, Nangong Xianming, who was already mixed in with ordinary sailors, was ecstatic. He knew that he would not die again this time!

"Boom ......"

A cannonball came out of nowhere, and it hit the warship that Nangong Xianming was riding impartially. Fortunately, it only hit the inconsequential deck, and it had little effect on the entire warship.

Nangong Xianming immediately ordered the other four warships to cover him, and then risked the five Dongjiang Army warships left behind to collide directly.

encountered such a suicide-like style of fighting, and the Dongjiang Army also had a headache. Without too much entanglement with the pirate army, the Dongjiang army quickly moved out of the blocked route, leaving a channel for these pirate ships that were about to crash the ship through.

As soon as the pirate ships entered the cleared channel, heavy artillery fire began to bombard indiscriminately. The two pirate warships, which were escorting the ships on the left and right, were sunk in an instant.

And Nangong Xianming's warship, which had always been hiding in the middle, had already rushed out of the encirclement of the Dongjiang Army unharmed. The remaining three pirate ships, which had also been badly damaged, fled at full speed without looking back.

No one paid attention to the departure of the three inconspicuous pirate warships, and the Dongjiang army did not pursue them. From the very beginning, the Dongjiang Army knew that it was impossible to really annihilate all the pirates here.

According to Mao Wenlong's requirements, as long as their main force is completely defeated, it will be regarded as a complete victory. The artillery was still roaring on the battlefield, and Nangong Xianming looked back at the entire battlefield, his face gloomy as water.
