When the Wyvern Gang and the Shark Gang spread to the sailors on each warship, the Westerners' fleet had already completed the array and began to fire their first round of artillery bombardment.

This is the largest fleet battle of Westerners in the eastern sea since the Age of Discovery, and the members included are also very complex, including almost the entire Western forces that came to the East to pan for gold.

If it weren't for the Wyvern Gang's broken wrist last night, which ignited the thirty wingmen of their own vanguard at the beginning, and then almost burned more than a dozen Western warships used as bait on the port of Kongweigu Island, I am afraid that their Westerners' fleet should be a little stronger than the combined fleet of the Wyvern Gang and the Shark Gang at this time.

However, the decisive battle of the Wyvern Gang's coalition forces, and then the beginning of the arrangement, is exactly in the hands of Westerners, for them, the mobilization of mixed coalition forces is not necessarily a difficult thing, because their opponents in the Mediterranean, are far more familiar with each other than the Wyvern Gang and the Shark Gang.

And the European naval warfare techniques and tactics, and most of them are similar in many European kingdoms, but now when they are cooperated, they can also do not bind each other, and most of them go their own way, and they are very cooperative.

"Boom, boom!!"

"Boom, boom!!"

The artillery of both sides brought about turbulent and earth-shaking changes on the originally calm sea, and there were visions of water columns rising into the sky everywhere, and occasionally splinters of wood several feet long and wide flew sideways, and finally smashed on the sea, causing waves of waves higher than waves.

The engagement between the two sides was completely different from the naval warfare in the East, but was closer to the naval engagement in Europe in the West, but it made the sailors of the European fleet feel at ease and at ease.

The Han fleet on the other side, in terms of naval combat technology on the surface, is indeed inferior to the opponent, whether it is technical and tactical coordination, or the power and accuracy of artillery fire, often three to four rounds of salvo fire on the opposite side will severely damage one of their own warships, while their own side needs at least five rounds or more to severely damage one of the opponent's warships.

This situation of using long-range artillery to carry out artillery shelling lasted for more than two hours, until after three poles at noon, Zheng Zhilong and Lu Yi of the Han coalition army already felt that something was wrong.

"You can't shoot like this anymore! This is simply attacking the enemy's strength with its own shortcomings, and it is we who will lose even more if we continue to fight! ”

Zheng Zhilong gritted his teeth and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "It's better for us to approach the opponent's formation directly, and let them fight hand-to-hand, at least when we are in the string battle, our strength is superior!" ”

The soldiers on the previous thirty wingmen were replaced by Zheng Zhilong on the main ship of his own fleet, although there were a lot of losses in the previous naval battles, but on the remaining seven warships, there were still about forty percent of the sailors of strength, and Zheng Zhilong was more confident than using artillery for the efforts of this group of gangsters.

Moreover, Zheng Zhilong has seen the population shortcomings of Westerners very thoroughly, the other party's remaining twenty or so warships, and the sailors and soldiers it has, I am afraid that there may not be too many, at least Zheng Zhilong dares to pack a ticket, its number is definitely not as large as the number of his own fleet, even if the loss of his own fleet is greater at this time.

"In addition to artillery, foreign devils are also good at using muskets, and tactics are not easy to deal with.

Lu Yi hesitated, and gradually revealed a bit of retreat between his words.

For their Crazy Shark Gang, in fact, this time they jointly designed the plan with the Flying Dragon Gang to trap foreigners, and Lu Yi and the others did not agree very much, but since their gang leader had already decided, then they, as subordinates, had no choice but to carry it out obediently.

But now this decisive battle not only surprised Shi Peicai, who made the plan, but also from the actual battle results, the threat to their coalition forces was greater, and the chances of victory were not high.

Therefore, it is also reasonable for Lu Yi to want to stop losses in time while the war is still under control.

"Lu San is in charge, we have a covenant, how do you explain it to you when you help the master?"

Zheng Zhilong's eyes were solemn at this time, and he looked directly into Lu Yi's eyes and said.

Zheng Zhilong didn't want to think much about the final result of this naval battle, and even in the end, their coalition forces suffered heavy losses, which was no longer in his consideration.

The only thing Zheng Zhilong knew was that if there was no final result in this battle and they gave up halfway, then their Wyvern Gang would fall into an embarrassing, even dangerous, situation.

Whether it is the Shark Gang that cooperated with them in this battle, or the European foreigners they are preparing to trap, their losses are still within the range of suffering so far, but their Wyvern Gang, at the beginning, was pitted by the Dutch people of the dog day, not only the auxiliary fleet was almost completely wiped out, but their main fleet is now losing more than half, and the overall strength has been greatly reduced.

Not to mention that since this war, their Wyvern Gang is in the claw depression and even in the territory of other European foreigners, I am afraid that it is already a situation where everyone is shouting and beating rats on the street, and they want to gain a foothold in the Indonesian Islands, in addition to directly defeating the fleet of @ heavy Westerners at this time, the only choice left is to continue the tragedy when they were on Dayuan Island and Luzon Islands, and float away from other open seas.

But he, Zheng Zhilong, is now a man in his forties, and in this era, when the average life expectancy is generally not high, he cannot guarantee that he will be able to live until the next foundation is prosperous.

As a pirate gang, there is hardly any gang leader, and most of them can die a fate, the reason is very simple, because when they are old, they can't suppress the gang below and become their target to climb to the top of the mountain.

Even now, there are actually many ambitious people in the Wyvern Gang, who secretly covet their position as the leader of the gang, but now they are in the prime of life and have strong enough abilities to let this group of rebellious people use them for their own use.

For various reasons, Zheng Zhilong was finally forced to be desperate, and at this time, in front of Lu Yi, he made a bloody and brave spirit that even without Lu Yi's support, their Flying Dragon Gang would part ways with them and fight a decisive battle alone.

“…………”

Lu Yi fell into deep thought, and after a long battle between heaven and man, he finally made a difficult decision: "We can't let outsiders say that our Shark Gang is not righteous, greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

"Let's fight!!"

"Good!!"

Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed when he heard this, at this time, he no longer had the slightest barrier to the Shark Gang, in this case, the Shark Gang could stand on the same front with himself, what would people do to themselves!

"Then let's fight!!"

"Pass my order, and the whole ship will charge!"

"!! Fuck it!! ”
