Facts have proved Tang Ming's conjecture, after the pirate fleet dropped more than 400 warships, they turned around and retreated, the power of the hot air balloon is incomparable, and it can't hit it, in this case, continuing to fight is just a target for others. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As soon as the pirate fleet retreated, Tang Ming ordered the troops to be withdrawn and not let the hot air balloon continue the pursuit. Obviously, the pirate fleet came on guard, and even when retreating, it still maintained a wide ship distance.

This situation was not conducive to the bombing of hot air balloons, and Tang Ming soon discovered that most of the destroyed pirate ships were used to confuse the army, and there were no people on them at all, and they were all made of some merchant ships.

A thankless task like this naturally doesn't need to be fought again. Fei Xin came back with a snort, and as soon as he got on the spaceship where Tang Ming was, he hummed and said: "The pirates of the dog days actually got some broken ships to fight, and several of the collision ships were burned down by those broken ships that spontaneously ignited!" ”

Tang Ming smiled and said, "Then you think that everyone else is stupid, and they were almost wiped out by us for the first time, and this time you dare to come to explain that you must be prepared." This time is just a temptation, do you need to be angry like this? ”

Fei Xin obviously still couldn't swallow this breath, and said angrily: "The prince doesn't know, those turtle grandsons almost used more than two hundred empty ships. Less than 200 ships were really sunk, and on the surface we were in a good situation, but in fact we lost a lot! ”

Tang Ming, who was still unimpressed, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't be angry, they will definitely come again, maybe there will be strange tricks that we can't think of next time, so you should pay some attention and study more tactics." Let's talk about our losses, including how many incendiary and powder bombs were used. ”

In fact, it's no wonder that Fei Xin is angry like this, since the hot air balloon was used in naval battles, he returned in vain for the first time, and he also suffered a dumb loss. With absolute strength, he fought a defeated battle, and it was inevitable that the general, who was the leader of the army, would get angry.

Tang Ming thinks this is a good thing, if the journey is smooth, it won't take long. The army will become a group of arrogant soldiers, and this defeat can be regarded as a basin of cold water on them, and it is a warning to them!

Fei Xin was only angry just now, and he hadn't checked the situation of the loss, so he hurriedly went out to see the results after Tang Ming's reminder. Tang Ming also ordered the army to withdraw to the islands in the South China Sea, and it is clear that he had begun to use these small islands as borders to defend against invaders from the west.

In fact, most of these so-called islands in the South China Sea archipelago cannot be called islands, and it is not an exaggeration to call them reefs. Two-thirds of it was as small as a treasure ship, but Tang Ming still built this place into a temporary combat base.

The islands and reefs that are too small on the periphery are fixed with some flat pontoons and reefs, and a few cannons are placed on them, which is regarded as a sentinel point.

Back at the operational base in the South China Sea Islands, Fei Xin also counted the losses, found Tang Ming and handed him the list, and then retired to work on his business.

Tang Ming quickly glanced at the list, more than twenty of the hundred ships that collided with each other were lost, and ten of the treasure ships were burned by those empty ships that spontaneously combusted. Although he was very sad in his heart for the loss of nearly forty treasure ships and the death and injury of hundreds of soldiers, as long as he fought a war, it was inevitable that there would always be deaths, and Tang Ming was sad for a moment before returning to normal.

Look at the incendiary bombs and gunpowder bombs in the back, these two things are the big heads, and Guan used up nearly 10,000 incendiary bombs and gunpowder bombs this time. This is the rhythm of the loser's behavior to burn money, Tang Ming immediately frowned, incendiary bombs are not difficult to make, what is difficult is the fierce fire oil required.

This fierce fire oil is becoming more and more difficult to find now, if it weren't for the recent deception from Zhu Gaochi, it would definitely not be able to meet such a loser's style of play by relying on his own production and purchase alone.

Of course, this time it is also a kill of more than 400 pirate ships, if it is a real pirate warship, such a heavy blow will definitely not be lost. I believe that no one in this era will have such great strength, and after suffering such a heavy blow, they can recover quickly.

And in a battle like today, it is obvious that Tang Ming has suffered a big loss, and he can't help but secretly sigh in his heart: "It seems that they have to use incendiary bombs leisurely, who can afford such a loser's style of play!" ”

When Fei Xin finished his work, Tang Ming and he began to rectify in the hot air balloon camp and implement some of the rules that had been discussed.

His side was busy with his work, and Luzon was once again in chaos, less than two days after the armistice, and the agreement to divide and rule was just beginning to be implemented. Then the generals of the rebels took the ships that broke through and fled back, and began a real large-scale fight.

The king of the opposite sex was obviously angry that his subordinates were being attacked, and began to attack frantically without leaving any room for it. And the king also knows that there is no room for compromise, so he is also ready to fight with real swords and guns.

From that day on, the whole Luzon country was bombarded, and the flames of war spread to every corner, and the common people suffered greatly and fled one after another, but the whole Luzon country was at war, and it was the same wherever they fled.

In desperation, some people began to flee to the sea in small boats, and when they started, some people followed, and in less than three days, almost all the people of Luzon fled to the sea.

The best place for them to go was naturally the Ryukyu Island in the Tang Ming Dynasty, which had been recruiting people to open up the wasteland and farm, and it was the closest place to Luzon, which could only be reached by a three-day voyage.

Tang Ming soon received the news that a large number of people from Luzon had fled to Ryukyu Island, and he laughed and ordered to receive them all, and then asked Fei Xin to urgently send a batch of grain to settle these people on Ryukyu Island.

The king of Luzon soon discovered this serious problem, and in the land he was currently occupying, only the people of the capital, who had not yet been affected by the war, had not fled. The rest of the place, from the town to the village, was already empty, and even if he tried to stop it now, it would be too late.

Yan Ruwei Tie blushed with a face, and hurriedly found the king and said: "The old minister has sent people to check on the towns, and it is true that the buildings are empty, and all the places are deserted. ”

The king sighed softly and asked bitterly, "Do you know where the people have fled?" ”

At the mention of this, Yan Ruwei's face couldn't help twitching, and he said helplessly: "I went to Ryukyu Island." ”

"Ugh......."

A sigh is enough to express the sadness of the king at this moment, the people under his rule have fled, so is he still a king? (To be continued.) )
