Although the real decisive battle will not be carried out until the 30 fishing boats promised by the Ryukyuan people have taken the bait, this does not mean that the Hongtang fleet will stay in the Amami Sea so honestly for the past two days.

Threatened by the fierce eye of Hongtang's fleet, the Japanese fleet and his tangled pirate fleet have been parked in the waters outside Amami Oshima for the past two days, in case they are broken by Hongtang's fleet.

Except for the Japanese speedboats that have been cruising non-stop in the waters where Hongtang is located, monitoring the every move of the Hongtang fleet, how long has it been, the waters of the five islands of Amami have never been as calm as they are now, and even the maritime merchants and seafarers in the past have also gotten the news and sailed around this sea area.

The morning sun had just risen, and suddenly, the speedboat monitoring Hongtang's fleet in the distance made a nimbly turn and fled in the direction of Amami Oshima. Behind them, the Hongtang fleet, which had been quiet the night before, finally moved.

Six Western-style warships, led by the "Intrepid", stripped off most of Hongtang, and the sails fluttered again, following closely behind several speedboats, and chased in the direction of Amami Oshima.

Xiao Xiurong and the others came up with several plans that were operable and could help Wu Daofu achieve a way to weaken the Japanese joint fleet in the short term, that is, to use the flexibility and speed advantage of six Western-style warships to constantly harass and shell more than 100 Japanese warships in the waters of Amami Oshima.

The Dutch Zhuyu was in front, Wu Daofu and their sailors were certainly not as familiar with the operation of Western-style warships as the Dutch sailors, and the Clark sail warship imitating Portugal was also slightly inferior to the Dutch warships, but with the advantage of Western-style warships and guns, it was still enough for the Japanese and pirates in the Amami Sea to drink a pot.

drove six warships to attack the one hundred and ten sea ships outside Amami Island, and put it on Wu Daofu in the past, even he himself would not believe that he would do such a stupid thing. But now that he was not only preparing to do this stupid thing, it seemed that his mood was still quite excited and excited.

How long has it been, with the gradual growth of age, and in Li Tianyang's emerging team, in order to stabilize his position in Li Tianyang's heart, Wu Daofu has come this way, it can be said that he is cautious, and he does not dare to do such a risky thing easily.

But at this moment, Wu Daofu finally felt the passion that he had lacked all these years again, and the heroic spirit unique to his youth in his heart suddenly gushed out, looking at Amami Oshima which was getting closer and closer, Wu Daofu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the murderous intent loomed.

"Boom! Boom! ”

Several speedboats still could not escape the pursuit of Wu Daofu and their Western-style warships, and seeing that there were still several miles of sea to rush into the Japanese fleet, a round of fierce and accurate artillery fire approached and pursued the speedboats within a few tens of zhang, turning them into a pile of broken debris on the calm sea.

For a time, in the sea area where the speedboats were originally located, the sea water was dyed a faint scarlet color, and the corpses that were broken into several or a dozen pieces by the cannonballs floated from time to time with the rippling sea water, attracting many fish in the sea to come and grab food.

With such a big movement, even if a few speedboats did not come back to ventilate the news, the Japanese fleet, which was always alert at sea, would have already discovered six uninvited enemy ships at this time.

I don't know if it was because Wu Daofu's provocative actions stimulated the Japanese people, or because the Japanese people saw that there were more than 30 other warships in Hongtang missing from the warships, and after discovering Wu Daofu's warship, these more than 100 Japanese fleets raised their sails one after another and killed Wu Daofu and them.

Learning the knowledge of naval warfare taught to them by the Dutch and carefully operating the many sails on the battleship, the six Hongtang warships confidently circled a big arc in front of many Japanese warships, and soon left the Japanese fleet behind.

When they were about the same distance, the six warships turned at a large angle in the same way, and the six ships of Zhancha arranged in a straight line, aiming the artillery fire on one side at most of the Japanese who were chasing closely on their sides.

On the side of the six warships, nearly 30 or so cannons opened fire in no particular order, and in a few breaths, the already loaded shells were fired. Without looking at the results of the battle, the six warships that had just finished firing their guns immediately turned their rudder sharply, and soon resumed their previous course and headed forward.

On top of the gun position, a team of gunners and their assistants were busy cleaning up the remaining debris from the chamber of the gun, while reloading and returning the ammunition to its position. Only then did they have the opportunity to observe the results of the next round of shelling.

Perhaps the lesson of more than two months ago was too bad, this time the fleet of the Japanese alliance army has maintained a unified formation at any time from the previous Hongtang tentative attack to the current pursuit of six warships. In order to take care of the slower ones, many of the clippers were kept at a level with the slower ships, so that the more than 100 ships looked like a whole.

However, in order to maintain a whole, more than 100 warships are crowded in a sea area, so the probability of being hit has also greatly increased. Just like the replica of the last tentative attack, many ships were damaged, and one unlucky ship was also opened a large hole near the horizon by the cannon's powerful cannonballs, and the turbulent sea soon made the warship a lot shorter, and seeing that the deck was about to kiss the sea level, many sailors either crazily scooped water out with barrels, or took wooden hammers to urgently repair the hole.

Then there were several times of the same action, when the Japanese fleet was played three or four times by six warships like walking dogs, the commander of the Japanese finally came to his senses, looked at the scarred hulls of each ship, and finally gave the order to return to sail, no longer paying attention to the provocation of Wu Daofu and his ships, and headed towards Amami Oshima without looking back.

There is no way, the Japanese are also the same as Wu Daofu when they fought with the Dutch in Jilong Harbor, the first time they encountered such a shameless tactic, they wanted to catch up, they wanted to disperse their forces to surround them on all sides, but they were afraid that more than 30 other warships in Nahongtang were ambushed somewhere, so they waited for their fleet to suddenly come out and give them a heavy blow after the fleet dispersed its strength.

Wu Daofu, who got cheap and sold well-behaved, how can he let the Japanese fleet leave so easily at this time, since you don't chase it, then okay, I'll chase you! The funniest scene in the world happened, the scene of six warships chasing more than a hundred warships, if a passing maritime merchant saw it, I am afraid that he would suspect that there was something wrong with his eyes!
