131 decisive round
"Big brother, you can't retreat, we've all forced the Hongmen people to this point, if we retreat like this, won't it be a failure?"
Zheng Zhilong was in a hurry, he didn't care about the faces of his brothers, and stared at the few brothers who were retreating with a look of hatred, while hurriedly trying to persuade Yan Siqi.
Zheng Zhilong is not completely out of hatred for Li Tianyang, but more because of the scenery and status that has been smooth sailing and in charge of the world in recent years, he has suddenly become a phoenix in distress, fleeing in all directions, and the huge identity contrast has made Zheng Zhilong unable to adapt, and redoubled his efforts to seek change.
Because of this tempering, Zheng Zhilong's personality has changed, such as self-righteousness, arrogance and pride, etc., in this series of escapes, he has been almost consumed by the strong pressure of life.
finally seized such an opportunity to win back what he had lost from Hongmen, Zheng Zhilong's heart was excited and surging.
And the tempering in the past few years is really good, so that Zheng Zhilong finally began to learn to look at the problem with a longer-term vision, and he is very aware of the predicament that their gang is facing at this moment.
Further, it seems that there are heavy losses, and even life-threatening, but if they succeed, then it means that they will soar from now on, and they will no longer have to worry about being chased and killed by Hongmen; It seems safer to take a step back, but from now on, they may never have such a good chance to become a first-class maritime power, and the chance of challenging the Hongmen again is slim, and it is even very likely that from now on, they will have to really attach themselves to the Western Dutch and become their fighters.
Therefore, when he saw that many brothers proposed to retreat, only Zheng Zhilong continued to ask Yan Siqi to insist.
Of course, he also knew that compared with other short-sighted brothers, Yan Siqi, the eldest brother, had vision and insight, and must have seen through the choices in front of them and the corresponding consequences.
Zheng Zhilong's persistence is not only to show his attitude, but also to pave the way for his eldest brother to make a choice.
Sure enough, when Zheng Zhilong's attitude was revealed, Yan Siqi seemed to be very embarrassed, but in fact, he was relieved in his heart, and after pretending to think deeply for a long time, he made a "difficult" choice: "Our flying dragon has suffered too much loss in these days, and I also think it's time to retreat!" ”
When Yang Tiansheng and the others heard Yan Siqi's words, they couldn't help but look sideways, and their expressions relaxed a little, but then they pulled it back again, all because Yan Siqi Feng said a few words.
"However, if we retreat like this, I am afraid that the people of Hongmen will not let us go, after all, their wishful thinking has been destroyed by us, and the losses are so heavy that I am afraid that they have hated us to the core!"
"Therefore, I feel that it is necessary to launch a ferocious offensive tomorrow, not to defeat the Hongmen fleet, but to maximize its losses, and then be unable to catch up with us!"
Yan Siqi's words, although he expressed the same attitude as Zheng Zhilong, but for Yang Tiansheng and others at this time, it was not unacceptable, after all, Yan Siqi's voice had already revealed his intention to retreat, but unlike what everyone thought, he still had to hold on for a day.
“……”
"Okay!"
Everyone had their own thoughts, or were silent to agree, or agreed, and in the end, most of them agreed with Yan Siqi's opinion.
Of course, even if they don't agree, as long as Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong insist, the Flying Dragon Gang will definitely insist on fighting tomorrow, and whoever makes most of the armed forces of the Flying Dragon Gang control Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong.
"In that case, let's go back and cheer up the brothers, let them fight one last time, and then praise you and go home!!"
Yan Siqi held up a smile that was more ugly than crying, and sent everyone back, only Zheng Zhilong stayed, discussing tomorrow's war with Yan Siqi.
The next morning, both the Hongmen fleet and the Wyvern fleet launched their own offensive at about the same time, and the intensity of the battle reached its fiercest moment in the past few days from the beginning.
The battleships of the two fleets in a long snake formation did not have the slightest reservation at this time, and gave full play to the artillery fire on their respective fleets, and no longer had the restraint that they had a few days ago.
"Boom! Boom!! ”
"Boom!! Boom Boom!! ”
Obviously, under the premise of having no reservations, there is no need to care about the next continuous battle, under the full firepower of the Hongmen fleet, although the number of warships is far less than half of the fleet of the Flying Dragon Gang, but the scale of their artillery fire surpasses that of the other party, suppressing the opponent's artillery fire.
However, in the days when the Flying Dragon Gang Fleet was fighting with the Hongmen Fleet, as well as in the previous years, it had been training and familiarizing itself with the artillery tactics of the Hongmen Fleet, and had made the correct way to deal with it.
Of course, correspondingly, the artillery fire of the Wyvern Gang could not pose much threat to the Hongmen fleet, which was strong and artillery, and too many shells were consumed in the ocean, bringing bursts of white waves.
The so-called indefiniteness, the ferocity of the artillery fire at the beginning, naturally brought about a long period of weakness that followed, and the dumb fire of the Hongmen artillery came from the lack of ammunition in their stockpile; The shrinkage of the artillery of the Wyvern Gang fleet is due to the fact that the artillery they use gradually began to have various problems because of the efficient use, which made the gunners who fired the guns timid.
In the past, when everyone was firing at each other's guns, they would circle around the sea, exerting each other's flexible control of their respective warships and maneuvering with them.
But the wound was different today, when the fire of the Hongmen fleet and the Wyvern fleet dissipated, they were once again the same as each other, driving their respective warships to a target, flying over, obviously preparing for a more intense, bloody, and dangerous hand-to-hand combat.
The battle on the sea, which was very different from the usual, attracted the attention of the Spaniards, and when the two warring sides finally began to prepare for a continuous battle as if they had a fire in their hearts, Lieutenant Commander Fonbri of the remnants of the Spanish fleet did not arrive, and the opportunity came!!
Now in front of them were only the seven warships belonging to Gan Xingzhi of the Killing Gang, which were nervously staring at the opponents cruising on the sea, guarding them from making any moves.
"Pass my order, the whole army will attack!!"
After two or three days of repair, the more than 400 officers and men on the Spanish fleet were full of energy and fighting spirit at this time, and Vonbri firmly believed that with the strength of their Spanish sailors and fleet, if they wanted to break the enemy in front of them at this time, it could be said that they were nine out of ten, and the only thing to consider was to destroy the enemy who was blocking and not delay them too much time.
