Li Tianyang's worries didn't last long, because soon, they knew what the other party really meant.

"There is a situation, prepare for battle at sea!"

Li Tianyang still underestimated his younger brother's determination to defeat him, and when he thought that his younger brother was somewhat merciful to his subordinates, Li Tiansheng did it behind his back, forcing Li Tianyang and Gan Xingzhi to a Jedi.

The Spaniards adhered to their Westerners' usual style, did not declare war like the Easterners, and after entering the three miles of the Hongmen fleet, they opened the gun emplacements of their battleships, and one gun after another was pushed to the gun emplacements.

The Hongmen sailors, who were in charge of the vigilance, hurriedly raised a strong alarm, and at the same time hoisted the sails of the warships of the Hongmen fleet, lifted anchor and began to sail out of the port.

Li Tianyang in the town soon received the news from the sea, he did not panic about this, but sneered and comforted Gan Xingzhi and the others, who were a little flustered: "I have long known that Xiyangyi is unreliable, but I didn't expect them to be so direct and shameless, and the contract just signed was torn apart!" ”

"Our fleet, isn't it too much to fight each other?" Inexplicably, when facing Li Tiansheng and their Shark Gang, they were all full of confidence, and when facing the Spanish fleet, they did feel a little unconfident.

In the years in Luzon, Gan Xingzhi led the Shark Gang to fight against the Spaniards many times, and each time he suffered a lot of losses at the hands of the Spaniards, so he always seemed unconfident when facing the Spaniard fleet.

"It's okay, we may not have a good chance of winning at sea, but if they want to block us in the harbor, they are a little short!"

Li Tianyang comforted Gan Xingzhi.

However, when the Spaniards showed his minions, the Hongmen Counsellor had already suggested to Li Tianyang that he temporarily withdraw from Apa Town.

After Li Tianyang weighed it over, he also had such an idea in his heart, at this time, it was difficult for the two of them to guarantee a chance of victory when the two coalition forces were facing the enemy in terms of strength.

On the surface, Li Tianyang's comfort to Gan Xingzhi seemed to be very profound and quite sure, but in fact, Li Tianyang was still full of anxiety about the Spaniards who came in vain.

After all, the other side has 12 warships, of which there are three first-class battleships, and they have a strong advantage in the face of the five "Yang Fan-type" warships of the Hongmen fleet.

Of course, Gan Xingzhi also has a lot of warships in their hands, and there are more than 30 warships of 400 materials in their hands, and they still have the strength to fight in the face of the Spanish fleet.

"However, Third Uncle, I'm afraid we have to retreat first!"

Li Tianyang had just finished cheering up Gan Xingzhi, and when he turned his head and said such things again, it seemed to be a little weak, but in Gan Xingzhi's opinion, it was not a wrong decision.

But what made Gan Xingzhi hesitate a little was the farm industry they operated around Apa Town, if they just left, then they would lose a lot.

Moreover, if they leave like this, it means that Li Tiansheng and them will have the upper hand, and it will make those neutral gangs in the Shark Gang fall to Li Tiansheng and their faction, and naturally the strength of Li Tianyang's side will be even weaker.

"Don't worry, Uncle San, it won't be long before we call back!"

Li Tianyang's eyes were resolute and calm, although unexpectedly the Spaniards intervened in their family's internal affairs, so that Li Tianyang had to make changes that were inconsistent with the previous plan, but this also strengthened Li Tianyang's determination to get the Spaniards done.

"That'...... I'm going to call someone to organize a retreat! ”

Gan Xingzhi looked at the direction of the sea surface that could not be observed, and finally made up his mind after hesitating!

"Okay, I'll send someone back to entangle the Big Buddha Robot now!"

Li Tianyang nodded.

Li Tianyang and the others wanted to retreat, but it seemed that Li Tiansheng's faction, which was originally at a disadvantage, did not intend to let Li Tianyang and them leave like this.

Changing the previous situation of shrinking and defending, at this moment, the main force of Li Tiansheng's faction in the Li Manor suddenly exerted force, and began to take the initiative to counterattack, putting a lot of pressure on the team on Li Tianyang's side that gradually began to shrink, slowing down their speed of retreating.

There are all kinds of signs that there is a close connection between Li Tiansheng's faction and the Spaniard fleet that suddenly came out, otherwise they were trapped in the town of Apa, where could they learn about the sudden appearance of the Spaniard fleet on the sea, and began to cooperate with the Spaniards at a critical moment.

The battle on the sea soon began, and the Spanish fleet did not declare war, and from the moment they brought the Hongmen fleet into the range of attack, they vented their ferocious artillery fire, and the continuous bombardment of cannonballs around the Hongmen fleet and affected many ships of the Shark Gang.

At the same time, Li Tiansheng and they also launched a more violent assault on the manor, but under the resistance of the five hundred musketeers left behind by Hongmen and the men of Gan Xingzhi of the mad shark, the progress was not great.

The retreat on Gan Xingzhi's side is also progressing slowly, from the beginning of the upper hand, to the current peak turning around and preparing to evacuate and flee, the members of Gan Xingzhi's side are all at a loss and their hearts are agitated.

In addition to his family and valuables, Li Tianyang suggested to Gan Xingzhi that all other bulky items should be abandoned, but when he really began to organize the retreat, the members of the Shark Gan Xingzhi's faction were reluctant to give up the industry that had been fought hard all these years.

Even because of the retreat, a large number of members of the Shark Gang of Gan Xingzhi's faction quietly broke away from their ranks and turned to Li Tiansheng's faction, or transformed into a neutral faction, waiting for the emergence of the victor.

In the end, only the most central and more than 2,000 gangsters finally began to retreat in the corrupt organization of Gan Xing, and almost half of the rest had already defected.

On the sea, the 50 warships of the Hongmen fleet, with the help of 10 Shark 400 warships, struggled with the Spaniards, making it impossible for them to encircle the port of Apa in a short time, giving Gan Xingzhi and others time to retreat.

The Spanish fleet still had reservations, and the Shark Fleet and the Hongmen Fleet seemed to be fighting vigorously on the sea, and used their Westerners' best cluster artillery to firmly suppress the counterattack of the Hongmen Fleet, but now most of the time has passed, except for the luck of destroying a 400-material warship, no other results have been obtained.

The Spaniards' reservations were justified, although the Hongmen fleet had only five warships, but with their full firepower, each "Yang Fan" battleship might have barely reached the standard of Western third-class battleships, but now it can firmly occupy the upper echelon of third-class battleships.

This also means that the artillery strength of the Hongmen fleet is fully capable of posing a threat to the Spanish fleet, and it is also possible to sink the Spanish warship.
