Chapter 714: Pursuit of Victory (2)
Jiao Long didn't have time to grieve the five destroyed battleships, his eyes were red, and he viciously ordered a full speed pursuit. This time he can't afford to lose, so he must complete the task entrusted to him by Mao Wenlong and intercept the fleeing pirates.
Otherwise, Jiao Long's previous losses would be in vain, for the sake of his own future, for the sake of those brothers who followed him from birth to death, in short, Jiao Long had to intercept the widows.
In fact, Mao Wenlong is not a person who does not miss the old love at all, after seeing Jiao Long's dedication, he immediately ordered to divide the troops into three battlefields to support the five pirate ships that were destroyed. In this way, he saved a lot of pirates, and at the same time killed all the pirates.
With the support of the Dongjiang Army, the pirates who survived by luck are still quite grateful to the Dongjiang Army. These people did not stop there, but got on the warship of the Dongjiang Army and set sail again to pursue the Japanese invaders.
On the Wako's side, when Fujiwara saw that the five warships sent out had been sacrificed, but had failed to complete the situation of blocking the enemy's pursuit, he frowned deeply, and cursed in his heart: "Damn stupid......"
The cruel and stern spirit of the katana, killing the enemy on the battlefield, the spirit of not fearing death is indeed fierce and abnormal. But this spirit has a fatal point, that is, the spirit of the Japanese is good when they are victorious, and once they are defeated, these Japanese will not save themselves, and even commit suicide!
The Japanese invaders had a small population, and they committed suicide every time they were defeated, in order to show their spirit, but they foolishly hollowed out their own not very strong strength.
Mao Wenlong can also be regarded as seeing the thoughts of these Japanese robbers, so he is very cooperative and has never left a living mouth for these defeated Japanese robbers. Being able to eliminate the living force of the Japanese Kou is something that Mao Wenlong can't ask for.
"Yaga...... The two of you, immediately lead ten warships to meet the battle, and don't make any more senseless sacrifices. Your mission is to stop the pursuit of the enemy, not to go up and die, do you understand? Fujiwara shouted viciously at the two Japanese leaders beside him.
"Yes, Prince!" The two named leaders did not dare to say more, and immediately went down to do business after agreeing.
At this time, Jiao Long had already led the remaining seven warships to chase the warships of the Japanese Invaders to a distance of one nautical mile, and it seemed that it would not be long before they could bite the tail of the Japanese Invaders. Jiao Long was also excited, but something that made him feel bad happened again.
This time, the Japanese directly dispatched ten warships to meet the battle, but there were only seven left on Jiao Long's side, and it was obviously not feasible to divide the troops to pursue them like the previous time. There was no other choice, Jiao Long could only grit his teeth and give the order to fight.
With only seven warships, but he had to deal with ten warships of the Japanese Invaders, the situation was very unfavorable for Jiao Long. Fortunately, at this moment, Mao Wenlong in the rear is not far from them, as long as Jiao Long can delay for a while, he can wait for Mao Wenlong's support.
"Boom ......"
As soon as the ten Japanese warships approached the range of the artillery, they immediately fired 10,000 guns in unison, and in the roar, although Jiao Long's side was prepared, it was also beaten in a hurry, and in an instant, two warships were paralyzed by the shelling.
The return fire was fired at Jiao Long's command, and the muzzles of the guns that spewed fierce flames were aimed at the warships of the Japanese Kou, and it was also a volley. A Japanese warship that rushed to the front, just exposed to the pirate guns, was immediately bombarded to pieces, and after a while, it broke off and slowly sank into the sea.
Two paralyzed warships were sunk in exchange for a Japanese warship, and this confrontation was considered a pittrate gain some upper hand. In this way, these pirates have strengthened their self-confidence in killing enemies.
From far to near, the two sides fired back and forth, and in the incessant roar, the two sides continued to slowly approach. Casualties are also increasing, and since the warships on both sides are exactly the same, there is no difference in terms of the coverage of fire or the range of artillery. The only difference is only in the level of proficiency in handling the ship.
However, the number of warships of the Japanese still prevailed, and after the two sides entered into a fierce exchange of bombardment, Jiao Long on the pirate side soon began to decline. Especially when the two sides got closer, and the artillery switched to shotshots, the pirates directly suffered a large number of casualties.
Jiao Long saw that he was about to be defeated, so he was so anxious that he shouted and screamed, but fortunately, the Dongjiang army arrived in time at this moment. The special long-range artillery solid shells, under the fierce attack, the attack of the Japanese was immediately suppressed.
And the hot air balloon that followed was even more fierce and black, and in an instant, the warship of the Japanese invaders turned into a sea of fire. Many of the pirates were drenched in the oil and rolled on the deck with fire, screaming in pain.
Until some people could not bear the pain of being burned alive, they began to roll over and jump into the sea. When someone moved, someone followed, and the butterfly effect began to ferment, and more and more fiery widows jumped into the sea, like dumplings, and the sound of splashing water was non-stop.
Jiao Long and many of his subordinates were saved at this moment, but his heart was still dripping blood, and he felt very sorry that the ten Japanese warships in front of him were destroyed like this. However, Mao Wenlong did not give him time to continue, and immediately ordered him to continue to pursue the warship that had escaped.
The helpless Jiao Long had no choice but to reluctantly bid farewell to the battleship that was buried in the sea of fire, and continued to pursue the Japanese invaders.
Fujiwara's face was like ashes, he didn't expect that ten warships would be so vulnerable when they encountered the Dongjiang Army. The hot air balloon's fierce fire oil attack once again made him feel a sense of powerlessness, and in the face of such a big killing weapon, he seemed to have no way to deal with it at all, so he could only let it be slaughtered but had no power to fight back.
"Run!"
At this moment, Fujiwara no longer dared to send out a battleship to block it, and the only thought in his heart was how fast to run.
Fujiwara, who completely gave up resistance, directly ordered to flee at full speed, which made him feel very aggrieved. But in order to have a chance to take revenge in the future, he had to put aside the spirit of bushido for the time being.
Doing so will make him suffer from the spurning of others in the country, but he can save his life and keep the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood, Fujiwara knows the truth. This is also what distinguishes him from those generals in China who practice the spirit of bushido.
Jiao Long began to hurry again, facing the Japanese Kou who was bent on escaping, it was impossible for him to catch up. As a result, the two sides have been sailing at a distance of one nautical mile, and they simply cannot get any closer.
What made Jiao Long even more anxious was that the Dongjiang Army behind had been overtaken farther and farther, and the Dongjiang Army warships that were not fast enough would have to hurry up if they didn't want to catch up. I believe that it will not be long before I will be left far behind.
