The battle situation was with the help of the Hongmen musket team, and Gan Xingzhi and his faction had been suppressing Yuan Chengwu and his faction to fight.

This is a war full of tragedy, although the Shark Gang has a wide range of people and a large number of personnel, but everyone has been together for so many years, more or less there is still some friendship, and even some hostile members have a good relationship with each other.

It's just because of the heir dispute between the Li Tianyang brothers that these colleagues, who were smiling at each other the day before, are going to fight in a decisive battle today, which can not be described as amazing at the impermanence of heaven.

Because of the closeness of each other, in fact, at the beginning of the battle, everyone seemed to be extraordinarily restrained, except for the high-level Gan Xingzhi and others and their henchmen, the other members of the team left some strength.

"If it goes on like this, why can't they Hongmen people's muskets be lit directly without using incense sticks and fire folds?"

Yuan Chengwu and the others were suppressed in the manor, although they were not allowed to break through the defense line by Gan Xingzhi, but they also had a two-point defeat.

During the battle, Yuan Chengwu and the others found that the firearms used by Hong Menren were completely different from the weapons they were familiar with, not only in terms of rate of fire, but also in terms of accuracy.

Instead of firing the fuse, you only need to focus on the target and then pull the trigger to fire the ammunition, and the advantages of the flintlock pistol are evident in this battle.

"Hold on and hold on!"

Li Tiansheng looked at the dock area in the southeast direction from time to time, as if waiting for something.

In addition to taking advantage of the sudden difficulties at the beginning, Li Tiansheng and Yuan Chengwu have been on the defensive in the next time, looking at their intentions, it seems that they want to be anxious with Gan Xingzhi and them.

Gan Xingzhi was rushing to the front line with his manpower, and he didn't notice this strange situation, but Li Tianyang, under the reminder of the members of the team's flight office, had already discovered Yuan Chengwu's strange behavior.

It is a very unrealistic problem to want to entangle and confront Hongmen and Gan Xingzhi's faction like this, since Li Tiansheng is determined to turn his face with Li Tianyang and compete with Li Tianyang for the dominance of the Crazy Shark Gang, then he can't think that he can take advantage and seize power in this way!

Thinking about Li Tiansheng and Yuan Chengwu, they have been planning for a long time, and after such a long time of preparation, presumably they will not only have what they are revealing now, but it is estimated that there should be other back-ups, which can also explain their somewhat strange actions now.

However, Li Tianyang was not very worried, at this time, he and Gan Xingzhi's faction joined forces, occupied the dock, and could attack and retreat, as long as they fought steadily, when he returned from the reinforcement team arranged on Dayuan Island, they would be able to take down the entire Wild Shark in one go.

The Hongmen team did not show all their strength at this time, but had reservations, because in Li Tianyang's view, the comparison of the strength of the two sides can almost be said to be half a catty, although Hongmen joined and sent it, so that Gan Xingzhi's side may be stronger.

But if the artillery of the Hongmen fleet does not exert its power, the price paid by relying on the flintlock team of Hongmen alone to take down the Li Manor and the entire Shark Gang will not be too small.

At the same time, Li Tianyang didn't dare to guarantee that if he fought like this, how much strength would be left in the end of the Crazy Shark Gang, and if a disabled Wild Shark stayed, whether it could play the role that Li Tianyang expected in the end, and how much of a role it could play, was unknown.

In Hongmen, the focus is now more on the operation of Dayuan Island, and the support for the wild shark will not be too large, so it can be expected that for a long time, the wild shark can only maintain the status quo.

The battle situation in Apa Town is continuing and restrained, but on the sea on the horizon, more than ten small black spots suddenly appeared, and they were discovered by Hongmen's reconnaissance ships when they were still more than ten miles away from the port of Apa Town!

"Report, a large number of sea ships have appeared on the southern sea, and according to the configuration of their hulls, it can be sure that there is no doubt that Western warships!"

"Western sea vessels? How many are there? ”

"Twelve!"

The doubts in Li Tianyang's heart finally turned into reality in the report of his subordinates at this moment.

There is no doubt that there are only two Western sea vessels of this scale in the Far Eastern Seas, the Spanish and the Portuguese, and if you compare the distance between these two, it can almost be concluded that it is the Spanish fleet.

Since the last time the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce sent a large number of ships south to exert pressure and negotiate with the Spaniards, the Spaniards had already placed the main defense force of their Far Eastern Fleet in the castle of Manila in Luzon.

It was not until the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce reached a consensus with the Spaniards and concluded a contract that the Spaniards did not disband their fleet, but had at least five or six warships scattered between the waters of Manila at any time and place.

It goes without saying that the reason why the other party is so arranged is that they are guarding against the Hongmen and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, for fear that they will take the lead and bring the colony they have built up with great difficulty into their control.

The concerns of the Spaniards were not unreasonable, and in the present-day Luzon Islands, the Spaniards drank their slaves and servants together, which was less than one-third of the Ming people.

And when the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce collectively went south and began to open up the fertile land of Luzon, the dominance of the Spaniards was shaken.

In the past, the Spaniards were able to rule Manila and other places in the Luzon Islands, and drove the Kingdom of Sulu to the island of Medan because of their strong ships and cannons, but at this time, their sharp weapons were not as powerful as they were used in front of the natives of the Luzon Islands.

"Ho, it's really as sensitive as a dog's nose!"

Li Tianyang and Gan Xingzhi glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but start thinking about how to deal with each other's untold come.

The timing of the arrival of the Spaniards was very delicate, so that Li Tianyang did not dare to assert the true intention of the other party.

If they want to take advantage of the fire to rob, this time is not appropriate, because Li Tianyang and Li Tiansheng are not fighting at this time, and the strength of both sides is maintained very well.

But if they inadvertently passed by, it would be even more impossible, just the time, manpower, and material resources required by the Spaniards to organize such a fleet were not a temporary matter.

One of the most worrying questions for Li Tianyang and Hongmen's staff was how the Spaniards pinched the time so accurately and appeared in this suitable position at this opportune time, just blocking Hongmen's sea retreat.
