Chapter 466: The Beginning of the Melee
Sun Dayi led the army to slowly approach Tang Ming, and Fei Xin quickly carried out harassing strikes, and the new tiger squat cannon with a longer range and greater power was very powerful. When dealing with Sun Dayi's warships, the www.biquge.info could almost paralyze one of his warships without three cannons, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and soon the 100 treasure ships led by Fu Bo went around to the periphery to meet Fei Xin.
The range of the Hongyi cannon on the treasure ship was almost the same as that of the Tiger Squat Cannon equipped by Fei Xin, and Fei Xin immediately lost the advantage of long-range shooting. If he continued to fight with it, his own side would definitely suffer casualties, and facing it head-on was the last thing Tang Ming wanted, so Fei Xin had no choice but to order to bypass Fu Bo's treasure ship and attack the next target.
Gou Zi and Li Da Hammer each took some soldiers of the sharpshooter battalion and rode on each warship to sweep all the targets that could be hit, and the result was more effective than the cannons on the ship. It's a pity that although the battleship is not as large as the treasure ship, its mobility is still a little worse, and the area that can be hit is not large.
Besides, the other party is also equipped with a flintlock pistol, although it is not as accurate as the dogs, but it is better than the more people and more guns, which also indirectly suppresses the dogs' play.
The sound of gunfire and artillery burst out of the entire sea area, and puffs of black smoke came out of the muzzles, and the battlefield of hot weapons was obviously much more tragic than that of cold weapons. When the two sides first came into contact, they did not lose a few ships, but because of the flintlock pistol, they each sacrificed a lot of personnel.
This time, Sun Dayi was obviously fully prepared, so Fei Xin's harassing offensive was not very effective, and there was no sign of stopping Sun Dayi's army. Although the main force of his army marched slowly, it was still moving steadily under the escort of Fu Bo's hundred treasure ships.
If this continues, Tang Ming will only be able to confront him head-on in half a day, and it is appropriate for the landlord to fight on his own territory, but it will inevitably have its bad side. Because he couldn't retreat at all, Tang Ming was behind Ryukyu Island, and there was no way out.
Tang Ming and Zheng He looked at the approaching fleet with binoculars, and their hearts were full of bitterness. Is it really inexplicable in the face of absolute strength? Tang Ming, who was asking himself, had already begun to get angry in the face of the facts. At this moment, it is like a small group of ants fighting with an elephant, and no matter what little tricks the ants use, it will have no effect on the behemoth elephant.
"Alas, I'm afraid you kid is more than lucky this time! If you really can't help it, you can ask the miscellaneous family to go up and talk to them. Zheng He's face was calm, he understood that if Tang Ming didn't have an accident next, he was doomed to failure.
Stunned, Tang Ming looked at Zheng He, but shook his head at him and said, "Now it seems that as my father-in-law said, your cronies have been completely emptied, and it is useless to shout to them, and it may even frustrate our morale!" ”
"Is there anything else you can do?" Zheng He's face couldn't help but show a trace of worry at this moment.
Tang Ming clenched his fists and said viciously: "It's not so easy for Zhu Di to gnaw on my hard bone, if you really force me into a desperate situation, I am not a vegetarian." When it really comes to the time when you need to fight hard, even if Sun Dayi can eat me, don't think that there is anyone in their fleet who can go back to Daming, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that they dare to risk consuming the entire fleet here. ”
Zheng He didn't know how to persuade Tang Ming, who was a little crazy, and even he, the chief governor of the water division, had nothing to do about the predicament in front of him. However, Tang Ming's ruthless appearance, he admired it a little, as the commander of an army, he must have this ruthlessness in order to be a qualified commander.
A smile had already appeared on Sun Dayi's face, the area full of mines in front of the army's advance was almost at the end, and it would not be long before he could drive straight into and formally confront Tang Ming. Without the containment of mines, he believed that with Tang Ming's little force, two or three charges could be completely wiped out to him.
Victory is in sight, great achievements are within reach, and Sun Dayi has begun to fantasize about the invincibility of this fleet in the future.
Unfortunately, God seemed to be deliberately against him, and while he was being triumphant, there was a sudden dense artillery bombardment from the rear of the army, and soon after, a herald came in a hurry.
"Enlighten the Grand Inspector, nearly a thousand pirate ships suddenly appeared in the rear of the army, launching a fierce attack on our army, the convoy of the Third Inspector Division has been opened, and now our army's material fleet is suffering a tragic blow. The Three Overseers have sent a signal for support, please ask the Grand Overseer to decide! ”
"What? Where did the nearly a thousand pirate ships come from! Sun Dayi was taken aback, but the sound of artillery in the rear that resounded throughout the sea had already informed him of the answer.
In the past, Sun Dayi could completely ignore the pirate ship, but at this critical juncture, he had to face it. Once the rear of the army was bitten by this pirate that suddenly appeared, then when it was time for him to fight Tang Ming head-on, he would become a turtle in an urn and be surrounded by counter-surrounding.
No matter how serious the consequences were, Sun Dayi could no longer afford to think about it, so he immediately ordered the dispatch of 200 treasure ships and 400 warships to reinforce Lin Nan. As a result, the Chinese army had no more troops, and Sun Dayi had to order to stop advancing.
Sun Dayi's movements were soon seen by Tang Ming, and Fei Xin immediately summoned Tang Ming after finding out the situation, and learned that it was the pirate fleet brought by Zhu Yong and Li Ba from nowhere to attack Sun Dayi. Tang Ming didn't say a word, and also ordered Fei Xin to cooperate with Zhu Yong and them to share some pressure for them.
Then Tang Ming himself launched a general attack with the rest of the fleet, and the fighters were fleeting, this was an absolutely good time, and Tang Ming naturally would not let it slip away. Taking advantage of his illness and his life has always been his strong point, the signal of the general attack was hit in the air, and Tang Ming's entire army took advantage of Sun Dayi's difficult time, and ten thousand cannons fired in unison to harvest Sun Dayi's fleet.
For a moment, artillery shells whistled across the battlefield, splashing water and black smoke almost obscuring the fleets of both sides. The people on Ryukyu Island, who had been paying attention to the changes on the battlefield, all unconsciously clenched their fists. Little Jasmine was held by Chen Jialan, staring intently in the direction of Tang Ming's fleet, a small face tense and a faint worried look flashed in her eyes.
Xiang Gong was fighting with the enemy right under their noses, Xiao Ding and Chen Jialan both grabbed each other's hands tightly, and because they were too nervous, their hands were trembling slightly.
Tension and worry pervade throughout the island, and on the battlefield are the children of the island watching the battle, and parents watching their children kill the enemy. They wish they could replace them, but this is related to the future of Ryukyu Island, and they are all old and cannot go to the battlefield now. (To be continued.) )
