In the rumbling of artillery fire, the billowing smoke of gunpowder was wafting, and seeing that most of their patrol gunboats had lost most of them, the cannons on some of the Red Flag Gang warships immediately joined in, aiming their guns at the sea area of the Thunder patrol gunboats, forming an artillery fire blockade network to assist their patrol gunboats in the battle.

Although the weapons are advanced and the quality of the personnel and divisions is excellent, they cannot make up for the huge disadvantage in numbers. What's more, although Zhang Baozai's side is a gang of pirates, it is not a rabble, it will not be scattered in a fight, and it has quite strong combat effectiveness.

All of a sudden, the main battlefield of the Thunder and the Red Flag Gang formed a stalemate, there were casualties among each other, the battle was very fierce, no one was easy, no one retreated, desperately fighting.

On the command ship of the thunder, Shi Mingzhi was still standing on the deck, from beginning to end, the binoculars in his hand had never been put down, and he had been observing the situation on the battlefield. At this time, the adjutant on his side said anxiously: "Chief of Staff, think of a way, if you continue to fight like this, the two wings of the Red Flag Gang will surround you!" ”

Shi Mingzhi also knows that if this stalemate continues, the situation will be even more unfavorable. As if a decision had been made, he put down his binoculars and at the same time ordered: "Inform all the ships to retreat westward and enter Victoria Harbour, and divide them into two groups with new cannons." ”

"One is in charge of the rear of the palace, and takes cover; Open the way in front of one head, block the left flank of the Red Banner Gang for me, and buy time for the other warships to retreat! ”

With Shi Mingzhi's order, the Thunder warships did not retreat in one go, but fought and retreated, blocking the offensive of the Red Flag Gang as much as possible and approaching Hong Kong Island.

"Boss Zhang, if we win, we will be able to attack Hong Kong Island immediately, and we will add another territory~!"

Looking at the battlefield in front of him, Zhang Baozai still held the binoculars and observed the retreat of Thunder, not happy by the words of his subordinates, and still maintained a calm look. After a moment of silence, amid the rumbling of artillery fire, Zhang Baozai gave the order again.

"Inform the left flank and order them to chase the fleeing enemy and completely block the opponent in Victoria Harbour so that our side can attack Hong Kong Island."

The flag commander waved the flag and conveyed the order, and Zhang Baozai's subordinates asked puzzledly: "Boss, since the enemy has fled westward, why do you still want to pursue?" With the assistance of the left-wing and a three-pronged approach, wouldn't we be able to take Hong Kong faster? lest the old fellow of Mai Youjin get his hands first. ”

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, there was no emergency on the battlefield, maybe he felt that the overall situation had been decided, so Zhang Baozai put down the binoculars, and at the same time glanced at the subordinate, and said slowly: "Didn't you see it just now?" This force has a new type of cannon that has a range far beyond ours. ”

"If we don't send troops to block them in Victoria Harbour, they may come out at any time and attack our left flank, so that our attack on Hong Kong Island will continue to be frustrated and affect the progress of the attack. The longer it takes, the more unexpected situations may occur, and the more unfavorable it will be for us. ”

The subordinate looked admiring, did not speak, and looked at the battle ahead. At this time, Zhang Baozai was muttering to himself in an inaudible voice: "Old fox, you must have known in advance that the other party had this kind of weapon." Otherwise, I would not have risked attacking Hong Kong Island from here, next to Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon. ”

Immediately, Zhang Baozai's face showed a trace of gloom, which flashed and disappeared, and became calm and cold again, as if everything was under control.

As the minutes passed, the Thunder defenders on the southwest coast of Hong Kong Island were very unhappy, and they could not help but be on guard against the shells that would fall at any time, and also snipe the approaching patrol gunboats of the Red Flag Gang, as well as all kinds of small warships, fast crab boats, big poppy boats, 23-oared fast boats, and so on.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Zhang Baozai felt a little relaxed, couldn't help but show a smile, and from time to time he would use binoculars to observe the people defending against the coast of Hong Kong Island, and gather his boarding warships 100 meters away.

Gradually, Zhang Baozai's attention was very concentrated, as if he was fascinated by something. As if he had thought of something, he understood something, and muttered to himself: "I see, no wonder my patrol gunboat can't do them, presumably the people on their patrol gunboat have this kind of weapon." ”

At this moment, Fang Buddha found a huge treasure, Zhang Baozai was very happy, and said loudly to his subordinates: "After taking Hong Kong Island, don't rush to attack the village first, first collect the weapons in the hands of those people along the coast!" ”

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, and reacted instantly, although he didn't know why the boss gave such an order? While looking at the other side, he still didn't forget to answer: "Yes, boss~!" ”

Soon, after a period of observation, the subordinate immediately understood what was going on, and said, "Grow up, if our Red Flag Gang can be equipped with such a weapon, each of them will have one." Our strength will be greatly improved, and we can compete with Cai Lian in Fujian! ”

Zhang Baozai nodded lightly and said in agreement: "Yes, that's true." With the ability of our Red Flag Gang to make guns and cannons, it is not a problem to produce this. ”

"Yes, boss, every time we fight those foreigners, even if we get one of their bullet shells, we can make the corresponding bird guns."

When he spoke, it seemed that the situation on the battlefield had been irreversible, and the overall situation had been decided, Zhang Baozai's expression was a little confused, and the blurred vision illusory the outline of a woman, plump and full, graceful, although the body was strong, but it did not lose the meaning of freedom and ease, and it was full of the brilliance of a heroine.

It was completely an instinctive reaction, and out of subconscious, Zhang Baozai said softly: "After the leader left, if it weren't for the support of Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, the Red Flag Gang would not be where it is today; If it weren't for the long-term vision of the sister-in-law and the establishment of a base for making guns and cannons, how could the strength of the Red Flag Gang be at the top of the six pirate forces? ”

Everyone around knows that the relationship between Zhang Baozai and Zheng Yi's sister-in-law is not ordinary, although the age difference between the two is very large, teenage years, but it does not affect the ambiguous relationship between the two, and Lang is a concubine. Knowing this, none of the people around took over the conversation and said anything.

Boom...

Bang bang...

At this moment, Zhang Baozai was still in a trance, and was about to say something, when he was suddenly awakened by the violent sound of cannons and gunshots, the sound was deafening, and he wanted to tear the sky, and subconsciously shouted: "What's the matter?" Where did such a strong cannon sound come from? ”

Unable to allow his subordinates to report, Zhang Baozai had already judged the general direction when he heard the sound, and he held a telescope to look at it, and his eyes were directed at the west, the left wing of the Red Flag Gang.

Everywhere you look, bursts of wolf smoke rise, there are drifting oars everywhere, broken corpses and wreckage, the left flank blocking the mouth of Victoria Harbor is completely annihilated, and only sporadic patrol boats are frantically fleeing to his side, which makes Zhang Baozai extremely shocked and full of stiffness.

Soon, through the telescope, Zhang Baozai and others saw the banner waving, and one after another large and small warships quickly came out of Victoria Harbor, appeared in everyone's sight, and went straight to the Red Flag Gang.

Unaffected by the tense atmosphere around him, Zhang Baozai was still analyzing the battlefield situation in front of him, but his subordinates on the side began to urge: "Boss, hurry up and speed up the attack on Hong Kong Island, increase the intensity, no matter those batteries along the coast, cover our patrol gunboats and other landing warships to seize the beach, as long as we land on Hong Kong Island, we can save the current unfavorable situation and turn it around!"
