Chapter 715: Pursuit of Victory (3)

couldn't catch up with the Japanese invaders, and was thrown farther and farther away, which made Mao Wenlong very anxious, and after urgent discussion, he still couldn't think of a good way to crack it. The fastest update was to let the remaining Japanese invaders escape safely, and Mao Wenlong was unwilling.

The contradictory mood caused Mao Wenlong to be angry and helpless, and just when Mao Wenlong had no clue, Chengzuo sent Mao Wenlong a suggestion. He suggested freeing up half of the balloon's stuff so that he could chase the Japanese warships at a faster speed.

Originally, the hot air balloon floating in the air was actually no slower than the ship running at sea, just because the hot air balloon carried too much fire oil and gunpowder. There is too much load, which is why the hot air balloon flies so slowly!

Unfortunately, there is another drawback, what can a hot air balloon without fire oil and gunpowder use to attack the warship of the Japanese Invaders? Only a small amount of explosive oil and gunpowder did not pose a threat to the Japanese warships, and this solution did not seem to work.

The only good thing is to be able to keep an eye on the traces of the pirates in the air and not let them disappear into the vast sea. So that the pursuing Dongjiang Army can continue to pursue, and over time it will inevitably be able to catch up with the Japanese invaders.

There was not much time left for Mao Wenlong to think about it, and in the absence of a better way, he could only do it according to Chengzuo's suggestion first. The order was quickly delivered to Cheng Zuo, and he did not dare to slack off, and immediately vacated fifty hot air balloons, allowing him to free up two-thirds of the fierce fire oil and gunpowder.

The hot air balloon, which has reduced its weight by two-thirds, is indeed much faster, more than twice as fast as before. It didn't take long for them to overtake the pursuing pirate warship ahead.

With such an effect, Mao Wenlong finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although the hot air balloon with only half of the fierce fire oil and gunpowder could not inflict fatal damage on the warship of the Japanese Invaders. But it can interfere with the speed of the Japanese invaders' escape, which is the effect that Mao Wenlong wants.

Therefore, the hot air balloon chased after it quickly, but Mao Wenlong, who was relieved, did not dare to relax in the slightest, he still gave the order to go all the way. It is necessary to strive for the Dongjiang Army to arrive in time when the hot air balloon interferes with the Japanese invaders.

There was a subtle turn of events, which made the Wako nervous again. Fujiwara really couldn't understand how those hot air balloons suddenly soared and were so fast that they were jaw-dropping?

If the hot air balloon had such a speed early in the morning, why didn't Mao Wenlong use it in the morning, but waited until now to accelerate to catch up? All the doubts were entwined in Fujiwara's mind, and he knew that there must be something critical in it that he couldn't understand, but he couldn't figure it out because of his limited knowledge.

I can't think of the reason inside, Fujiwara didn't dare to delay any longer, he saw the power of the hot air balloon with his own eyes, especially those fierce fire oils. Once his battleship is targeted by the fierce fire oil, it is estimated that he will not even have a chance to escape.

Realizing that his life was at stake, Fujiwara thought deeply and decided that he would have to switch to another warship. Staying on the original battleship, it was inevitable that the hot air balloon that caught up would be the first to attack, and for the sake of his own safety, Fujiwara had no reason to continue to stay.

He immediately changed into an ordinary samurai suit silently, and then, escorted by several personal guards, boarded the small boat and changed to other warships as he went. Fujiwara's quiet small action was not discovered by Chengzuo, who was chasing him, and as soon as he caught up, he immediately set his eyes on the command ship among the many Japanese warships, which was the one that Fujiwara was riding.

Without any hesitation, Chengzuo flew over the battleship commanded by the Japanese and immediately ordered an attack. The few fierce fire oils and gunpowder smashed down in an instant, and without any suspense, Fujiwara's command battleship instantly turned into a sea of fire.

The Japanese who had been abandoned by Fujiwara were also engulfed in flames along with the battleship, and eventually, the fire ignited the gunpowder and cannonballs stacked on the battleship, and exploded violently. The huge battleship collapsed in an instant and sank into the vast sea.

Chengzuo looked at the results of the battle he had caused, and he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, as long as he killed Fujiwara, the only general, the remaining Japanese wouldn't be in a panic. However, things did not develop as Cheng Zuo thought.

The warship of the Japanese did not become chaotic at all, but still fled at full speed in an orderly manner, and all the Japanese were indifferent to the sunken command warship. None of them stopped to rescue, and Cheng Zuo and the others were dumbfounded by such an act, and they really couldn't understand what kind of heart these would-be robbers had?

"General, someone in the warship of the Japanese invaders is issuing a flag to command ......," a soldier of the Dongjiang Army was holding a telescope and observing the Japanese warship below, and suddenly, he exclaimed.

Cheng Zuo was stunned for a moment, then rushed up and grabbed the binoculars of the soldiers, took a quick look, and sure enough, he found that there was a warship that continued to send out flags and direct the remaining Japanese warships to continue to move forward at full speed.

Such a discovery immediately made Cheng Zuo suddenly understand, his previous blow obviously did not get rid of the generals of the Japanese Kou?

"General, do we want to continue the attack?" The soldiers asked Chengzuo for instructions.

Shaking his head, Cheng Zuo smiled bitterly on his face: "It's useless, our fierce fire oil and gunpowder are not enough to sink a Japanese warship." ”

Indeed, Cheng Zuo didn't think much about it just now, and he didn't think that the cunning Fujiwara would run to other warships in advance. Now that the fierce fire oil and gunpowder carried by the Dongjiang Army are seriously insufficient, even if they are all gathered and the battleship that may have hidden Fujiwara is blown up and sunk, then it is impossible to be sure that Fujiwara is really on that battleship?

In case it was a smoke bomb deliberately released by the cunning Fujiwara, then in the end, Chengzuo not only failed to complete the task of blocking, but it was really possible that these would-be wouldn't have escaped. Thinking back on his task, Cheng Zuo didn't dare to do it casually anymore, and after thinking for a while, he ordered the people beside him: "Rush to the front of the warships of the Japanese at full speed, stabilize the general, and see the tricks of all the Japanese warships to smash the fire oil and destroy the sails of all the warships." ”

In a hurry, Cheng Zuo remembered that the power of the battleship to sail quickly depended on those sails, and if those sails were destroyed, it would mean that the warships of the Japanese would lose the power to move quickly. In this way, he was able to stop the warships of the Japanese invaders.

It wasn't until this moment that he thought of this solution, and Cheng Zuo patted his head in annoyance, but fortunately it was not too late to think of it. As long as it goes well, his mission can still be successfully completed.

According to Cheng Zuo's orders, the fifty hot air balloons crossed the sky above the Japanese warship as quickly as possible, and after arriving in front of the Japanese warship, they lined up in a line and made preparations for an all-out attack.
