The fleets of both sides were already within their respective ranges, but neither had the intention of taking the lead, and it seemed that each had scruples.

As the defending side, Tang Ming was concerned that he didn't want his fleet to have any casualties, of course, it would be the best result to solve the problem without making a move. But as the fleets of the two sides got closer and closer, like arrows shot out, there was no turning back, and a big war was inevitable.

The pirate's command ship had become a mess at the moment, and more than a dozen pirate leaders of different forces were staring at the middle-aged man on the throne with fierce eyes. At this moment, seeing the size of the other party's fleet, they all knew that they had been deceived by the person in front of them.

The person on the throne was Qi Ren, and he watched coldly at the pirate leaders below accusing him, and he didn't seem to care at all about those ugly words. There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, now that the war was about to break out, there was no room for these pirate leaders to regret it.

Whether they lied to them or not is no longer an important question, if these guys continue to quarrel, they will be the ones who will cry later. But Qi Ren made such a big move this time, of course, not to send these pirate leaders to death.

He didn't want the ship and the supplies on it, but Tang Ming and Fang Xiaoru's heads had to be in his hands. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to go back and explain to his sect leader, since the last time he failed to capture Tang Ming alive in Nanjing City.

But he inadvertently learned that Tang Ming was made a marquis, and the territory turned out to be an overseas island. The sect leader began to carefully plan this trap, such a chance is only once, if he messes up, the consequences can be imagined.

"Ahem......."

Qi Ren coughed lightly twice, and when the pirate leaders present noticed him, he opened his mouth and said, "Everyone be quiet, can you listen to someone Qi say a few words?" ”

A shirtless guy with a meaty face, slapped his palm on the table, his body stood up angrily, pointed at Qi Ren and shouted coldly: "Grandma, today Lao Tzu wants to hear what else you have to say, nearly a hundred Zheng He's fleet." He even lied to us that it was the Daming Sailor who was trying to sail a new ship, not to mention whether there was any backup, just looking at the three treasure ships, you can know that this is not a trial voyage at all! ”

"Yes, the surname is Qi! If you hadn't lobbied us all to gather and ambush here to swallow these dozens of new sea ships! We're not going to be here. Judging from the size of the opponent's fleet this time, it is true that Zheng He is not here this time, but this fleet is definitely not simple. If you can't give us a reasonable explanation today, then don't blame us for turning our backs and not recognizing people, tying you up and asking Zheng He's fleet for peace. ”

The other pirate leader followed the words of his predecessor and yelled angrily at Qi Ren. These pirate leaders here, since Zheng He organized a naval army and frequently operated in the waters around Daming, none of them have not suffered at the hands of Zheng He.

If it weren't for the last resort, none of them would be stupid enough to touch Zheng He's fleet, because they had never been able to get a favor from Zheng He's hands. This time, the dizzy fleet that came to ambush the fleet was also poked by Qi Ren's clever tongue.

Not to mention their heavy profits, the most important thing is that Qi Ren also said that this fleet is transporting a large amount of supplies to some desert island overseas. And there are so many of these materials, as long as they are willing to do this vote, they can stop and live a carefree life in the future.

A double profit can be exciting, a 10x profit can be insane, and a 100x profit can be lifeless for pirates. I made an impulsive choice when I was hot-headed, and now that I am really in danger, I am beginning to wake up one by one.

Even if Tang Ming's fleet on the other side really had the inexhaustible wealth of their generation, if they wanted to get these things, they had to have the life to spend them.

Qi Ren scoffed at the pirate leaders' questioning. Leng Yan replied: "You still don't seem to have a clear view of the situation in front of you. If you have time to accuse me here, it is better to take advantage of the fact that you should hurry up and prepare for the attack with unified command. ”

"Besides, I, Qi Ren, did not deceive everyone present. Although the flotilla on the opposite side is from Zheng He. But it is not in his establishment, the owner of this fleet is a marquis named Tang Ming. He's still a 15-year-old hairy boy. ”

"Everyone calm down and think about it carefully, a 15-year-old hairy boy knows what naval warfare is, and then look at the only few warships guarding those guards, everyone doesn't need to be afraid of being like this at all. Although our ships and cannons are not as powerful as theirs, there are many of us! A single bite can kill them. ”

Qi Ren's analysis was indeed reasonable, and the pirate leaders present were also very convinced, and after some exchanges, they unified their opinions and were willing to sacrifice their lives to fight. But the first to attack had to be Qi Ren's own fleet and those Japanese robbers, who were only willing to be used as backups.

Without hesitation, he agreed to the request of the pirate leaders, and Qi Ren sneered in his heart. He knew very well in his heart that once the fight started, they couldn't help it with half their hearts. When the time comes, they will have to go up if they don't get up, and there will be no way back.

Tang Ming and Fei Xin sat in the command room, seeing that the pirate's ships were already within the range of the warships, and the ships with the Japanese flags were rushing to the forefront. Tang Ming frowned and looked at Fei Xin beside him silently.

The fleet in front had already entered the best firing range, and the opportunity was fleeting, Fei Xin arched his hand and said: "Please give the order of Master Hou and start shelling the enemy ships in front." ”

Tang Ming said with a straight face: "Brother Fei, this marquis doesn't know anything about naval warfare, in order to prevent any unnecessary mistakes from happening. You are now appointed commander-in-chief, and the entire fleet is at your disposal, without my consent to give any orders. ”

Fei Xin's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he knelt on one knee and saluted with his fists: "The last general will take the order!" ”

After getting up, Fei Xin called the herald: "Pass my order, all peripheral warships use solid shells, as long as the enemy ships enter the firing range, they are free to fire." ”

"Yes, sir!" The herald responded, and quickly ran out of the command room to give the order.

Without the radio of later generations, the command on the battlefield in ancient times could only rely on the flag language to transmit. Standing on a high pole in front of the command room stood a sergeant who was constantly waving flags to deliver orders.

Soon the order was issued to the entire fleet, and suddenly, several loud noises were heard on the warships in front, and more than a dozen large black iron balls smashed towards the enemy ships in front at an extremely fast speed, and the battle began at this moment.
