On this side, while Liu Dascar and his neighbors were showing off, a lookout stationed on the gravel hill at the southern tip of Amami Island spotted Wang Renzeng's fleet.

When the two outposts discovered Wang Renzeng's fleet, they still didn't know that these fleets that suddenly appeared were obviously ill-intentioned.

You must know that it was only seven or eight months before the end of the naval battle of Naha last year, and it was an indisputable fact that Zheng Zhilong and Li Xiang had a bad relationship.

Ever since the last year, Li Xiang Naha's naval battle faux pas came in, in fact, there has been a sense of panic on Amami Island.

The reason is very simple, according to past experience, if Zheng Zhilong has the upper hand this time, and Li Xiang's strength has been greatly damaged, then Zheng Zhilong will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.

So, here in Amami Island, you are very careful about the sea to the south.

And with so many ships appearing at once, it certainly won't be any maritime merchant's fleet.

Because there won't be any maritime fleet, there will be so many ships.

Now in this sea area in the east, there is only one force that can dispatch so many ships at one time, and that is Zheng Zhilong.

Therefore, the outpost stationed at the southern end hurriedly ran back and told the people left behind on Amami Island the news.

"Oh no, Zheng Zhilong's fleet is coming from the south!"

"Brothers, hurry up and get out of the dock, Zheng Zhilong's fleet has arrived!"

When the people in the village heard the news, they all picked up the guys and started running towards the dock.

After all, where is the dock, there are still many ships left by Li Xiang.

And Liu Da scarred and they suddenly found that there was chaos in the village.

Everyone ran out of the house one after another, grabbed a person casually and asked, and the big guy knew what was going on.

At this time, Liu Da Scar and the others didn't care to see if Xiao Liuzi could pull out the worms. Compared to the matter of Xiao Liuzi. Now hurry to the dock to board the ship and go to sea, and stop Zheng Zhilong's fleet before it lands on Amami Island.

"Copy guy!"

Liu Dascar knew that no one could be alone at this time.

Even if he didn't want to participate in this matter, if Zheng Zhilong's people landed on Amami Island, he would not have any good fruit to eat.

So, if you don't work hard at this time, it's really brain-dead.

Liu Da Scar hurriedly ran into his home, pulled out a machete from under the bed, and then put the fish scale armor on his body and rushed out, and began to run towards the dock.

Originally, those who were still gathered at Liu Dascar's house just now. Now they were basically the same as Liu Da Scar, they quickly returned home, and then picked up their weapons and began to converge on the docks.

The dock on Amami Island is crowded at this time, and basically all the men on Amami Island come.

When everyone came to the dock, they didn't say anything and began to board the ship.

The various ships docked at the humble pier of Amami Island began to sail out of the island at a rapid pace.

Everyone knew that with the arrival of Zheng Zhilong's fleet. But there is going to be a fierce battle.

Liu Dascar boarded a Spanish-style galleon, which Zhao Hongyu had given to Li Xiang earlier.

"Raise the sails! Hurry up, untie the cable, and give me a little bit if you don't want to die. ”

Although the enemy came very suddenly. But these pirates on Amami Island didn't panic at all-

Dividing Line –

"Boss, we're still ten nautical miles away from Amami Island, and it won't be long before we'll be able to get to the shore."

Stand on your own flagship deck. Wang Ren once picked up a telescope purchased from the Nanban and observed the movement on Amami Island.

After listening to his subordinates' reports, he slowly lowered the binoculars.

There was a cruel glint in his single eye. He smiled and said, "We can't get to the shore now, because Li Xiang's men have already discovered us, and I think we will be able to meet their fleet in a while." ”

Wang Ren was not stupid, he knew that his current fleet must have been discovered by Li Xiang's people.

It's like hundreds of his ships suddenly appeared, and it was impossible for the other party not to react at all.

If Li Xiang's people are really such idiots, then Li Xiang will not be able to create a great reputation.

Therefore, Wang Ren used to be able to vouch for it with his other eye, and now Li Xiang and his group on Amami Island have gone to sea by boat.

"Boss, Li Xiang, they fought against Naha last year, and they have been beaten by us. How many ships do they have now, even if they come out to fight us, the result is not predestined. ”

The subordinates standing behind Wang Renzeng thought that the victory was in hand, and they didn't think that Li Xiang and his gang could turn the tables at all.

In fact, the people around Zheng Zhilong all think so.

After all, in the battle of Naha last year, Li Xiang was beaten and suffered heavy losses.

After the end of that naval battle, the people around Li Xiang betrayed him one after another and took refuge on Zheng Zhilong's side.

With the refuge of these people, Zheng Zhilong of course knows what is the situation with Li Xiang now.

It's just that Zheng Zhilong had his considerations, and he didn't get Li Xiang right away.

Because Zheng Zhilong felt that after killing Li Xiang all at once, he would be of no use to the imperial court. When the time comes, wouldn't those greedy bigwigs in the DPRK and China be able to kill him by just finding an excuse?

This is not the result Zheng Zhilong wants.

Although Zheng Zhilong can leave the Fujian Navy Division at that time and continue to be his pirate at sea.

But the problem is that with the cover of the identity of the chief soldier of the Fujian Navy Division, he can continue to order ships from the Fujian shipyard to secretly stuff into his own pirate organization and increase his strength.

It was precisely because of such a reason that Li Xiang endured it at that time and did not eliminate Li Xiang's gang in one go.

And in Zheng Zhilong's opinion, Li Xiang is now betraying his relatives, and the losses are so heavy. Obviously, even if he stays, he can't afford to make any big waves.

In this way, seven or eight months passed in a blink of an eye, and Zheng Zhilong did not move at all.

This also gave Li Xiang a chance to breathe, and waited for the turn of fate.

It's just that Zheng Zhilong's thoughts, these people under him don't know what to do.

For example, a guy like Wang Renzeng. He couldn't figure out the intentions of his boss Zheng Zhilong.

In Wang Renzeng's opinion, Li Xiang, a guy who has fallen down, should simply be killed. Why do you want to keep him so bothered?

He really didn't understand anything about it.

Eventually, driven by greed and ambition, Wang Ren came to Amami Island with his fleet.

"Yes, Li Xiang is no longer in the climate. Last year, he lost half of his fleet, and many people betrayed him and took refuge with Boss Zheng. Think about how many boats can Li Xiang have in his hands. After Wang Ren heard what his subordinates said, he couldn't help but nod his head and said in agreement.

"According to those who left Li Xiang, now Li Xiang only has seven or eight warships of the imperial court in his hands, and there are only a dozen fighting boats, and the remaining more than a hundred are actually small sampans."

When he said this, Wang Renzeng showed a very disdainful look on his face.

Yes, Li Xiang only has such a few ships left now, and it is not enough to get it himself.

Don't look at Wang Renzeng, he is just one of the twelve leaders under Li Xiang. But the scale of the ships that the king was able to control was much larger than the current Li Xiang.

This time, Wang Ren had attacked Amami Island, and there were more than 30 Ming-style warships under his command, and as many as 100 fighting ships. Not to mention the rest of the Clippers. There are always more than three hundred.

In other words, Wang Renzeng's current strength is more than twice that of Li Xiang.

In fact, what Wang Renzeng and his subordinates said was not wrong at all. A month ago, Li Xiang was indeed so strong.

But the problem is that because of the underdevelopment of communications, Wang Ren once did not know that Li Xiang now has 19 more European-style warships in his hands.

"Boss. If you look at the northwest direction, it seems to be Li Xiang's fleet. ”

As soon as Wang Renzeng's words fell, small black dots appeared in the northwest direction of his fleet.

After looking at it with a telescope, Wang Renzeng turned around and shouted, "The little ones are ready, Li Xiang's fleet is already coming towards us." Everyone came out with a lot of strength and solved them at sea, and it would be much easier to get to the island when the time came. I heard that Li Xiang's wealth is hidden on Amami Island, and when Li Xiang and them are settled, everyone will get rich together after they capture Amami Island. ”

Woohoo! Whew!

The whole sailors on the ship shouted one after another, and their faces showed excitement and excitement.

Crossbow! Trebuchets are all ready!

Hold your weapons steady, and when the time comes, look at your feet, but don't fall into the sea!

Because everyone knew that Li Xiang didn't have any strength anymore, Wang Renzeng's subordinates were not so nervous.

In their opinion, this attack will be the most difficult for their own side to win.

And Li Xiang will also be destined to be wiped out.

Therefore, they are still in the mood to talk and laugh now, and they are not nervous at all before the war.

You must know that in peacetime, everyone is very nervous when encountering sea battles.

After all, fighting at sea is different from fighting on land.

"Get rich together! Grab money, rob! ”

Wang Renzeng pulled out the knife at his waist, held it high in the air and shouted hoarsely.

Woo, grab money, rob! ——

Dividing Line –

"I counted just now, and the number of ships on the other side is not very large, much less than in the battle against Naha last year. Could it be that Li Xiang looked down on people so much, and just sent such a little bit of a ship over? ”

Liu Da Scar said to a man next to him who was about fifty years old, with scars all over his face and gray hair.

This gray-haired, scarred man was the captain of the Spanish galleon. His name is Zhang Bangchang, and he is Li Xiang's old brother.

Otherwise, he would not have become the captain of this European-style warship, responsible for managing such an entire sea ship.

In this era, the position of a captain who can manage a ship is not low. Even among pirates, that status is very high.

"Zheng Zhilong really underestimates people, Lao Tzu doesn't teach him a lesson today, this guy doesn't know what it means to be in pain!"

Because with 19 European-style warships, although their own ships are more than half of the opponent's, they are still very confident that they can defeat the opponent.

"Uncle Zhang, why do I feel that something is wrong with this. Zheng Zhilong has always been a cautious person, if he wants to deal with a person, even if this person's strength is very small, he will do his best. That's not his style at all. ”

Liu Dascar looked at the enemy fleet more than ten nautical miles away and expressed some of his views to Zhang Bangchang.

"Humph! Zheng Zhilong is indeed a very cautious person, but the problem is that he is still a person after all, as long as he is a human being, then there will always be someone's fault, and now that the sea is his family, this guy is a little fluttering. ”

Zhang Bangchang felt that he was right, Zheng Zhilong's current mentality.

Liu Da Scar thought about it for a while and felt that it still made a lot of sense.

"Order, everyone get ready. The other party's fleet has dispersed, and it looks like it wants to surround us. ”

A slight sneer appeared on Zhang Bangchang's face.

Naval warfare in this era is far less advanced than in another time and space.

After all, the sea ships of this era are not equipped with missiles that can strike the enemy from thousands of nautical miles.

Therefore, naval battles in the seventeenth century are quite boring to talk about.

Of course, it's also very cruel in boredom.

Amami Island and Wang Renzeng's fleet began to slowly approach.

On both ships, the sailors were constantly manipulating the sails and observing each other's course.

Before the two fleets come into contact and come into range, there are basically about a few hours of going around the sea like this.

Sometimes, it even takes a day or two.

Because there are few ships on their side, it is impossible for Li Xiang and their side to rush forward recklessly. Even if they had nineteen European-style warships here, they couldn't have done such a brain-dead thing.

Wang Ren had wanted to surround them, and it was already obvious.

Therefore, in order not to let the other party surround them, Li Xiang and his side began to constantly circle with Wang Renzeng's fleet, trying to keep their own fleet in the direction of the breakthrough.

Although they were going around in circles, both sides were slowly but surely approaching in the process.

After all, if you want to defeat the enemy, you have to get up and start a broadside battle with the enemy.

"Flag, we're attacking from the enemy's left side! The other party is now a little too supportive, and actually gave up the encirclement of us, and rushed over like this! ”

Because Wang Renzeng's side had an overwhelming advantage, he couldn't bear it anymore after going around the fleet on the sea and Li Xiang and their side for almost three hours.

Anyway, there is an advantage on your side, and there are fewer enemy ships than your own, so what is there to worry about if you are in a hard encounter.

But it was precisely because of this that there was a loophole on Wang Renzeng's side, and this loophole was seized by his enemies...... (To be continued......)
