Knowing that Fang Xiaohai had already fought with Nangong Xianming, Mao Wenlong immediately sent Chen Qiyu and asked him to lead another hundred warships to support. For the remaining 100 ships, Mao Wenlong did not give any more tasks.

Chen Jisheng was very puzzled, and he asked Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, what about us?" Is it just waiting here and doing nothing? ”

"Yes, we don't do anything." Mao Wenlong directly gave an answer that surprised everyone.

It's not that Mao Wenlong doesn't feel like he needs to do anything, but he actually has a better way to solve this crisis in his heart.

The vast majority of the Dongjiang Army in front of them were naval forces that had just been converted from the army, and these people not only lacked experience, but also had no experience in naval warfare. Let them enter the war so rashly, and it is very likely that they will be defeated.

In order to save them from unnecessary losses, Mao Wenlong had to try not to let them go to war now. In the previous battle, he was forced to the point of helplessness by Nangong Xianming, and Mao Wenlong had to face it.

But this time is completely different, and for now, the initiative is still in their own hands. Mao Wenlong didn't have to take risks, the sailor didn't have many soldiers, and it was not easy to get these people, and he would be distressed if he suffered innocent losses.

Mao Wenlong had concerns in his heart but didn't make it clear, after his words landed. Chen Jisheng couldn't hold back at all, he hurriedly persuaded Mao Wenlong: "General soldiers, don't do it, although we have an advantage now." But you can't be so careless, that Nangong Xianming, this time he came to fight with the regular navy of Luzon. ”

There is still a big difference between the regular imperial navy and the pirates. Regular court armies were more likely to obey the orders of their generals, while pirates tended to be inappropriate about their leaders.

Mao Wenlong still didn't take Chen Jisheng's worries to heart, he chuckled: "Don't worry, I have already thought of what you said." ”

Hearing this, the generals immediately realized that Mao Wenlong must have a case in his heart. At this time, everyone was relieved and waited for Mao Wenlong to say a clever plan.

Mao Wenlong didn't let them wait longer, hesitated for a moment to organize the language, and then opened his mouth and said: "At this moment, it is not worth it for us to fight Nangong Xianming directly. You all have to understand one thing, that is, Nangong Xianming is using Luzon's soldiers and horses at the moment, not his own strength. ”

This reminder made the generals suddenly come over. The Dongjiang Army was fighting with Nangong Xianming at this time, and it was indeed not fighting him, but fighting with Luzon. Even if the Dongjiang Army wiped out all these naval armies in Luzon, Nangong Xianming patted his ass and walked in, and there was no loss for him.

After Xu Fuzuo pondered deeply, he asked Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, what should we do now?" ”

Mao Wenlong snorted coldly: "If you fight a snake, you have to fight seven inches, and now you have to fight with Nangong Xianming, and it is not cost-effective to treat the symptoms but not the root cause." ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong stared at Xu Fuzuo, and ordered in a cold voice: "Immediately send an order to Chengzuo of Qiongzhou Mansion that he must lead the army to explore the lair of the 'Tiger Pirate Group' within ten days." Give them a pot to the general soldier, and there must be no mistake in this matter, otherwise it will not be taken lightly. ”

When the generals heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, and Xu Fuzuo immediately received the order, and hurriedly resigned and stepped forward to arrange.

According to Mao Wenlong's method, it is to go straight to Nangong Xianming's lair, as long as Nangong Xianming's lair is eliminated, he will become a lonely old man, and without support, he will no longer be able to have no worries like now.

Chen Qiyu was very anxious, only half of Fang Xiaohai's 100 warships were soldiers of the Dongjiang Army. Moreover, the fighting part is a new recruit, and there is no combat experience at all.

With such strength to confront Nangong Xianming, it will definitely be more defeats and fewer victories. Chen Qiyu was ordered to rush to help, he was afraid that before he arrived, Fang Xiaohai would already be defeated.

The truth was beyond Chen Qiyu's expectations, when he arrived, Fang Xiaohai not only did not lose the battle, but also had the upper hand a little. It can be seen that Fang Xiaohai does have some skills for naval warfare, and he is not a person who does not know how to command.

But Fang Xiaohai's current situation is very critical, and Nangong Xianming has more than 300 warships. Most of them were soldiers and horses of the Luzon Kingdom, with only a few remnants of pirate ships.

A hundred warships against three hundred, there is no chance of winning at all, but fortunately, Nangong Xianming does not seem to be in a hurry to take down Xiaohai. Just sent the same number of troops to deal with Fang Xiaohai here.

It wasn't until Nangong Xianming saw Chen Qiyu who came to the aid that he directly ordered the whole army to attack. More than 300 warships pressed up violently.

Fang Xiaohai and Chen Qiyu met soon, and before Chen Qiyu came, he was pointed out by Mao Wenlong and asked him to assist Fang Xiaohai in fighting. In other words, Chen Qiyu also has to obey Fang Xiaohai's command.

Chen Qiyu was dissatisfied with this, but he understood even more that he didn't understand naval warfare at this moment, and if he didn't obey Fang Xiaohai's arrangement, he would only delay the fighter in the end.

"Brother Fang, the chief soldier has orders, and everything is under your command. So you don't have to be scrupulous, just be told. Chen Qiyu was also frank, and when they met, they made their words clear as soon as possible.

"In this way, the little brother will be offended a lot." Fang Xiaohai was very surprised, but he didn't have any politeness. After all, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is not much time for him to be polite.

"Needless to say, just do what you have to do, since Chen told you this, you don't have to have any worries." Chen Qiyu saw that Fang Xiaohai's expression was still a little inappropriate, so he reiterated it again.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaohai naturally didn't have to be polite, and when he took over Chen Qiyu's military power, he began to order the formation to meet the enemy.

The guns on the Dongjiang warships were much better than those on the pirate warships, and the range and power were not at the same level. Even the warships of Luzon could not be compared with the warships of the Dongjiang Army.

The superiority of artillery and warships has to a large extent made up for the current gap between the two sides. Fang Xiaohai knew this very well, so when facing the more than 300 warships that Nangong Xianming flew over, he was still very calm.

And the Dongjiang Army is not only the superiority of the warship, after Chen Qiyu handed over the military power of the warship to Fang Xiaohai. He began to concentrate on commanding the hot air balloon operation, and with the containment of the hot air balloon, Fang Xiaohai's pressure was reduced a lot.

Compared with the two, the gap in strength between the two sides has been very close, and Fang Xiaohai's command and combat ability is not inferior to Nangong Xianming.

The battle began immediately, there was no nonsense on either side, and in the roar of artillery, both sides suffered losses on both sides. The battle was evenly matched from the start, and there was no doubt that it should be a long one.
