Chapter 976: Battle of Amami Island (2)

Facing Wang Renzeng's side that was coming from the half-moon array, although Zhang Bangchang left the large army with the European-style warships under his command, the old brothers who stayed behind were still very experienced and quickly formed a pendant array to counterattack.

Although after the disrespectful battle of Naha, and the betrayal of some people within half a year. But those who can still stay and continue to follow Li Xiang are the old brothers and their children who have followed Li Xiang for more than 20 years.

Like these people, they are definitely the most loyal to Li Xiang.

At the same time, these people have one or two decades of experience as pirates because they have been at sea all year round and have followed Li Xiang as pirates. So their rich experience in naval warfare is very remarkable.

Even without Zhang Bangchang's command, they knew what to do.

Moreover, Zhang Bangchang rushed to Wang Renzeng's left flank with 19 European-style warships, how could those old brothers not know his plans.

Needless to say, these experienced old pirates, they know what to do.

These old pirates, who have a decade or two of maritime experience, are out-and-out baby bumps.

When these people go to Zhao Hongyu's side, Zhao Hongyu will definitely like it.

"Big brother, look, some warships rushed over from the right flank of the other side. It seems that they are heading for our left flank, and they are a little fast. ”

Wang Renzeng, who was launching a fleet to attack the fleet of ships on Amami Island, was reminded by his subordinates.

Although the men and horses under Zheng Zhilong's command are very young, and they may not be able to compare with these old brothers under Li Xiang in some experience, as a pirate, these people under Zheng Zhilong are still very qualified.

Visually observing the speed of a ship is an essential skill of pirates in this era. If you can't even do that, then this guy isn't a good pirate.

Like stargazing to determine directions, licking your tongue and fingers to estimate the direction of the wind, and judging some things based on some sea conditions. That's all something you have to master.

Because in this era when there is no system science and technology products, there is no way to do these things with manpower.

Even pirates, despite their bad backgrounds, have to be proficient in these things.

According to the words of another time and space, it is necessary to do a line of love, and take the industry as a home.

Therefore, even as a small leader under Wang Renzeng, he can see something with his own naked eye.

Zhang Bangchang led 19 European-style warships and broke away from the main force.

So, they stand out.

In addition because it is a European-style warship. So they will be very different in terms of speed. But anyone who is accustomed to running on the seas all year round can tell the speed of speed at a glance, let alone a pirate.

Standing here with Wang Renzeng, with the naked eye, he can only see the outline, and he can't see anything clearly at all. If he were a modern man, he wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.

However, Wang Renzeng and them relied on these and a pair of naked eyes. But I saw some differences.

It has to be said that in some ways, modern people still seem to be a little degenerate.

I don't know if it's because of the excessive dependence on technology?

Hearing what his subordinates said, Wang Renzeng immediately looked to the left. And squinted his eyes.

After drumming for a while, Wang Renzeng's expression changed.

Damn, could it be that Li Xiang united with Franco? Looking at the speed, it's obvious that the speed of the Franco's warship is the only one, what the hell is going on.

For the Daming pirates. The adventurers from Europe were all Franciscans.

In this era, only Zhao Hongyu can clearly distinguish those Europeans.

When Wang Renzeng found out that something was wrong. He immediately picked up the telescope and put it on the intact eye, and looked at it very carefully for a while.

At this time, the fleet under Wang Renzeng's command was still three nautical miles away from the fleet on Amami Island.

In the telescope, Wang Ren could clearly see that it was 19 Fran man-made warships. This suddenly made Wang Renzeng, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly become in a bad mood, and the expression on his face became very ugly.

Sure enough, it was Franc Man, and these guys knew that they couldn't be trusted.

They took the money from Boss Zheng's side, but here they began to help Li Xiang deal with us. These guys are mothers when they have milk, and they are simply some white-eyed wolves who can't be raised.

No wonder Li Xiang and the others didn't have the slightest panic at this time when they faced my fleet this time, it turned out that it was because they had helpers.

However, with just such 19 Fran warships, do you want to turn the tables?

Wang Ren once sneered in his heart.

However, he had put away his previous contempt.

Although in his opinion, Li Xiang had the assistance of 19 Fran man-man warships, he was still at a disadvantage compared to himself in terms of strength.

However, because of following Zheng Zhilong's side, Wang Renzeng did not deal with Franco. And he also knew the power of the Fran robot warship, so he also became nervous.

"Everyone be careful, rushing to the left flank are nineteen warships of the Fran man, it seems that the Fran man is already secretly helping Li Xiang. I don't know what a price Li Xiang paid in order to let these Francos help him deal with us. ”

After putting down the binoculars in his hand, Wang Renzeng said to his subordinates with a very bad face.

"Spread the news and tell the brothers to be cautious."

Wang Ren once commanded.

Because of the situation he did not expect, Wang Renzeng's mood has become extremely bad now.

"Big brother, what should we do now? Now we have a little more effort, and we will rush to the side of Li Xiang's fleet. Now shall we stop and deal with those Furberry people first? ”

One of the men asked.

Yes, now there is a warship of the Franciscans, which can be said to be a very unexpected thing.

Everyone knows very well about the power of the Fran robot warship, so they all think that now is the time to deal with these Fran robots first?

Wang Renzeng shook his head: "No! Continue to rush over and fight with Li Xiang and them! Now that it's this time, even if we stop, we can't do it, rather than we stop and let the fleet fall into chaos, it is better to rush over now and wipe out Li Xiang and their ships in a short time. After killing Li Xiang and them, we will clean up those Furlong machine people. ”

Wang Renzeng was not brain-dead, how could he stop the fleets in the charge now.

If he did, the whole fleet would be in chaos.

You must know that Lu Dao is very troublesome in this era, and he can't be like Zhao Hongyu, who equips every captain with a walkie-talkie to make effective contact.

Therefore, if he ordered to stop advancing and charging, it would not only take time, but also risk plunging the fleet into a brief period of confusion.

Therefore, such an order that might make him extremely unfavorable, Wang Ren would not have thought about it.

Anyway, it's already here, so he just rushes over.

With the current situation, it is enough to destroy Li Xiang and their fleet first.

As for the Franciscan...... After eliminating Li Xiang and them, just turn around and deal with them.

Don't look at the powerful warships of the Fran man, the speed of the voyage, but their own side has a numerical advantage, doesn't it.

Therefore, although Wang Renzeng's mood became very bad, he did not think that Li Xiang's side, with the assistance of Franco, would be able to achieve the most difficult victory.

Besides, these Franc Robot people are extremely selfish guys.

They came to help Li Xiang, thinking that they must have come for money.

Therefore, Wang Ren once estimated that these Franco-machine people would definitely not make any effort to die.

At that time, as long as he destroys Li Xiang and them, then these Francos will retreat, and they don't have to fight them at all.

After all, the Francos had come here across the ocean, and they were rootless duckweeds here. There are small losses, and they are very serious things.

Because it is very difficult for them to get supplies of people and materials here.

It's just that what Wang Ren didn't expect was that the Furlong machine ships he saw were not operated by the Furlong machine people.

At the same time, it is not what he thinks, the Francois who was bought by Li Xiang to help him.

Because these ships were all given to Li Xiang by Zhao Hongyu, and the people who drove and operated these ships were all elite sailors under Li Xiang's command.

It can be said that Wang Renzeng made a mistake in judgment again.

Some of the men around Wang Renzeng had already begun to give orders to the sailors around them, and the order to climb to the pole and continue to charge, and the order to guard against the enemy on the left flank, were all passed down through the flag.

Not to mention that after this order was given, it would take half an hour to reach all the ships. It can be seen that Wang Renzeng did not want to stop the charge, and it was not unreasonable.

At this time, the wind direction at sea was the north wind, which was extremely favorable for the Amami Island fleet.

On the other hand, Wang Renzeng's side was going against the wind, so his speed was greatly restricted.

Depending on the favorable conditions of the wind, the Amami Island flotilla formed an awl formation, and they could quickly pass through Wang Renzeng's flotilla and then turn the bow of the ship.

But Wang Renzeng, who was going against the wind, wanted to turn his head, so it was more troublesome.

As time passed, the two sides finally slowly approached each other.

The clippers on Amamijima's side and Wang Renzeng's side were the first to start the battle.

They all set fire to the straw in the bow of the ship and began to shoot the enemy with arrows to each other. At the same time, they tried to ram their clippers into the enemy's warships.

For a moment, the shouts of killing reverberated on the blue sea under this sky...... (To be continued......)
