Twelve nautical miles from the southern tip of Amami Island, a naval battle broke out between Wang Renzeng, who led the fleet under his command with Zheng Zhilong on his back, preparing to destroy Li Xiang's lair in one go, and then solve Li Xiang's fortune while taking Li Xiang's wealth for himself, and Zhang Bangchang, who temporarily became the supreme commander of the island after Li Xiang left Amami Island.

In this naval battle, the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides were obvious, Wang Renzeng commanded many ships, and on the other hand, the Amami Island fleet led by Zhang Bangchang was more than half less than Wang Renzeng.

However, because of the inaccuracy in the report, Wang Renzeng did not know that there were already 19 more European-style warships in the hands of the people of Amami Island at this time.

So, in such a situation, it would not be so easy for Wang Renzeng to solve the people of Amami Island.

Although the European-style warships are also very old, they are still relatively advanced compared to the warships of the East. Both the speed and the power of the ship's guns are not comparable to the Eastern warships.

This added some variables to Wang Renzeng's elimination of the Li family's fleet on Amami Island.

At this moment, relying on the advantages of his own strong soldiers and strong ships, Wang Renzeng no longer had the patience to continue to go around in circles with Zhang Bangchang.

Originally, the naval battles of this era were very different from the tactics of the infantry army on land to face the enemy head-on. After all, if you start fighting at sea, it will be very bloody, and everyone must keep their ships from being destroyed by the other side.

It is important to know that if the ship is damaged at sea, then the side without the ship will basically fall into the water and few people will survive.

Therefore, before a naval battle, everyone will slowly circle around the sea and slowly approach each other. In this process, both sides will constantly look for each other's flaws, loopholes and fighters.

Before engaging in broadside battles, both sides will shoot each other's ships with fire bolts, as well as attack the enemy with their trebuchets and ballistas.

In the modern era of another time and space, tactics like this are already very outdated.

Even in the seventeenth century, Europeans were no longer using this method of warfare. Began to fight at sea with artillery.

But the problem is, this is the East.

In naval warfare on the eastern side, everyone still follows and uses such a method of naval warfare.

For a full three hours, Wang Renzeng and Zhang Bangchang went around the sea in circles like this.

In the end, it was Wang Renzeng who couldn't bear to give the order, he ordered his subordinates to ignore the enemy who was going around in circles with him, and rushed over to start a white-knuckle battle with the other party directly.

Anyway, there are more ships and people on their side, and the other party's warships are more than half of their own. No matter how you look at it, his side has an advantage, so why should he be so cautious.

Wang Ren Zengzhong, who has always been patient with Zhang Bangchang and them. After receiving Wang Renzeng's order, they immediately cheered.

In fact, these subordinates of Wang Renzeng are also impatient.

In their opinion, the people of Amami Island on the other side must have had their morale extremely low after experiencing the naval battle of Naha last year. And when they were already facing Zheng Zhilong, it was impossible for them to have any will to resist.

Although Boss Zheng Zhilong didn't come in person this time, they were under the banner of Zheng Zhilong after all, didn't they.

For this, the Li Xiang people on Amami Island on the other side don't know what to do.

Want. Those people on the other side are already panicking.

Therefore, why should everyone be so cautious and make contact with them little by little to find fighters.

Just rush over it.

I can't figure it out. If you rush over your side, the other party's ships will be scattered. At that point, you won't have to do it yourself at all, will you?

I have to say, according to normal circumstances. In fact, this idea of Wang Renzeng and his subordinates is quite normal. A lot of times, in such a situation, things do turn out the way they think.

But but. But they overlooked.

That's Li Xiang and these horses on Amami Island, and they have no way out.

If they are defeated here, what will happen to those families who remain on the island?

This is a problem that Zhang Bangchang and they absolutely do not want to see, nor do they want to imagine.

Therefore, for Zhang Bangchang and them, this battle is unavoidable. Then let the big guys fight with Zheng Zhilong's fleet (Wang Renzeng) on the other side, maybe they will still have a chance.

But if they don't fight, they won't even have a chance.

For the sake of the family and children, what does it matter?

This person, when there is no way out, can burst out of the will to fight that ordinary people can't imagine.

Wang Renzeng didn't think about it, but he greatly ignored this.

At the same time, in the naval battle of Naha last year, Li Xiang's defeat led to the fall of Naha. And Li Xiang has been running Naha for more than ten years, and Naha can be said to be Li Xiang's second lair in addition to Amami Island.

Therefore, on Naha's side, there are many of Li Xiang's subordinates and their families.

But after the fall of Naha, the subordinates there and their families were slaughtered by Zheng Zhilong's men. After this killing, it reached Li Xiang, but Li Xiang's subordinates saw despair in grief.

Because it can be seen from the incident of Naha that Zheng Zhilong is absolutely ruthless towards his own people.

Therefore, Zhang Bangchang can predict that if their side loses their way in a naval battle, they will be defeated by the other party. So what kind of result will the relatives and children on Amami Island encounter?

No!

They definitely don't want that to happen, so they absolutely have to take the best breath of the worst.

And because of Zheng Zhilong's arrogance, this guy didn't send more ships to Amami Island, this is an opportunity.

As long as they can defeat these enemies and win this victory, wait until Boss Li Xiang returns from Nagasaki, then they will have hope.

Boss Li Xiang went to Nagasaki, and it is estimated that he has already been talking with the crown prince.

As long as they can negotiate, they can leave Amami Island and go to Nagasaki, and then they will be from the Song Empire.

So, now they can't retreat, and they can't be afraid!

Although the enemy has twice as many ships as their own, they still have to muster up the courage to fight!

Wang Ren once relied on the information half a year ago to misestimate the current strength of Amami Island. And he also carelessly neglected the explosive power and willpower that people will produce when they are in difficulty.

He never imagined that in order to protect his family and children on Amami Island, these pirates under Li Xiang would use great courage and faith to face him.

Wang Renzeng's fleet, forming a half-moon formation on the sea, rushed towards Zhang Bangchang and them. Because they were not going around in circles, the sea ships under Wang Renzeng's command all sped up.

In front of Wang's fleet were hundreds of small clippers with straw in their bows. The straws were drenched with oil and some sailors were hiding behind them.

This is a typical naval battle in the East.

The role of this kind of clipper is to use fire attack after the two sides have come into contact.

And when the two sides are fighting, this small clipper can also shuttle back and forth between huge ships, get close to the enemy's ships to wreak havoc, or smoke cold to kill the enemy's sailors.

In short, the Clippers are like assassins in the online game team.

However, because of its small size, the clipper ship is easy to destroy, so it is easy to be destroyed by the enemy. So most of the time, the Clippers will follow the camera behind the ship.

But now, Wang Renzeng has changed such a tactic and actually pushed the Clippers to the front.

Therefore, in order to maintain their speed, the sailors on the clipper ship had to fill the sails of the ship and at the same time keep sliding the oars.

In the end, they were tired and half dead, and they were able to keep the forward queue.

The reason why Wang Ren did this was only to consume some enemy arrows and stones before engaging in battle.

Trading some inconsequential clippers for enemy slings and arrows is actually a very cost-effective thing. Because in the naval warfare of this era in the East, once you run out of stones and arrows on your ship, you will become very passive.

Because in such a situation, if the enemy still has stones and arrows, they will be pressed to fight.

Therefore, it is also a good way to constantly lure and consume the opponent's arrows in naval battles, as well as the strong crossbows of stone throws and ballistas.

Every era has its own tactics, after all, this is the seventeenth century, not the modern age of another time and space.

At the back of the clipper, there is a Ming-style warship with an attic under Wang Renzeng, which can garrison more than 100 people. In the direction of its two wings, there are single-storey small buildings, which can garrison more people.

Under Wang Renzeng's command, it is already very good to be able to come up with such a formation.

If Li Xiang comes, then at least there will be more centipede boats and chain boats.

It's just that the centipede boat and the chain boat are the trump cards in Zheng Zhilong's hands. Although Wang Renzeng is a close confidant, this kind of trump card will not be handed over to him.

Therefore, Wang Renzeng, who can bring warships and fighting boats, as well as clippers, is also very strong.

On this side, when Wang Renzeng used a half-moon formation to rush over, there were nineteen warships on the right side of the fleet on Amami Island, which quickly broke away from the team and rushed towards Wang Renzeng's left flank, which was a little chaotic in the attack.

Because of the acceleration of the impact, there was a little chaos on the left flank of the fleet under Wang Renzeng, and it was this chaos that made Zhang Bangchang see the opportunity.

But Wang Renzeng didn't know anything about it.

"Rush! Rush over! Fortune is now! ”

At this moment, Wang Renzeng's mind was full of pictures after defeating these enemies on the opposite side and finding Li Xiang's wealth. (To be continued......)
