Chapter Thirty-Four: Attacking the Red-Nosed Pirates

After receiving the warning from Gangzi, Li Youtai also discovered the abnormality of the Red-nosed Pirate Fleet, and immediately ordered the fleet to change from a marching state to an attacking state, and the three brigs blocked the route of the Red-Nose Pirate Fleet to line up the battle line, the side gun doors were opened, and thirty guns were launched at the same time, and the Red-Nosed Pirate Fleet was attacked as soon as it entered the firing range.

Although the red-nosed Sonov was eager to break through the resistance of the Star pirate fleet, he did not rush to attack the artillery array with the bow of the ship. He brought the Rednose Pirate Fleet out of battle formation as it marched, and just as it was about to enter range, the entire fleet suddenly turned and headed diagonally in the direction of the tail of the Star Pirate Fleet, attempting to rush through the empty space there. At the same time, the gunwales, which had already been prepared, launched an artillery attack on the Star pirate fleet in turn.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The Star Pirate Fleet immediately fired back to suppress it, and at the same time, adjusted its course to follow the direction of the Red-Nose Pirate Fleet, maintaining the continuity of its attack on the enemy fleet and preventing the Rednose from attacking or escaping from its own stern.

In the distance, the Black Sail Pirate Fleet has picked up the speed of its voyage. Now that the situation encountered has broken the plan made by Gangzi and Li Youtai, and Red Nose obviously wants to break through by force, then it is definitely impossible for the two fleets to block their tactics in the east and west of the Soya Strait.

According to Gangzi's guess, the things or people that the Tosa fleet is dealing with now have a lot to do with Red Nose, and they can ask Three Thousand Honliu Sakura to bring fifteen brigs, and at the same time, the object that does not dare to be distracted in the slightest must be extremely powerful, and Three Thousand Honliu Sakura probably did not guess that the opponent would have a fleet here to respond, once Red Nose joined their team battle, Three Thousand Honliu Sakura will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the two sides.

Under normal circumstances, with Gangzi's character of liking to make cheap, he would definitely ask Li Youtai to let the red-nosed pirates go over and give the three thousand Benliu Sakura to make trouble. But now the Rednose Pirates are a territory. It has to be handled with caution. In the unlikely event that Red Nose and his allies defeated the Tosa fleet, he would not have the ability to behead Sonov in the middle of such a powerful enemy with his strength in the Fuso Sea.

The Red-Nose Pirate Fleet must be controlled on this battlefield, Gangzi secretly decided.

The two sides of the battle could already be seen on the distant sea, and the Rednose Pirate Fleet was about to stagger past the Star Pirate Fleet. The distance between the two fleets had reached the closest point, and the high hit gave full play to the superiority of the guns of the Rednose Pirate Fleet, and sixty guns swept through the Star Pirate Fleet over and over again, and the dense projectiles hit the battleships of the Star Pirate Fleet with many holes.

If it were an ordinary merchant ship encountering this kind of shelling, it would probably be unable to hold on and start sinking, but the ships of the Star Pirate Fleet are all warships, and the good protection is called the Star Pirate Battleship, although it looks embarrassed, but it has not yet reached the extent of affecting the performance. The excitement of the territory made the Star pirates not a little afraid in their hearts. Although the battleship constantly generated bumps from being hit, and projectiles flew overhead from time to time, the Star pirates still stubbornly fought back with their own naval guns, not giving the Rednose Pirates any chance.

The two fleets are about to stagger apart, and the STAR pirate fleet will continue to cut inside without being affected by the artillery battle, and if the Red Noses wants to go straight and break through, their stern position will be directly leaked under the fire of the STAR pirate fleet; The adjustable route and the Star pirate fleet can be used to defeat the opponent with their own artillery superiority, but they also lose the first time to rescue the Polonesk.

That's right. The Rednose Pirate Fleet entered the Soya Strait this time to pick up the returning Polonesk three-masted battleship.

According to the convention, the navies of various countries will secretly build their own pirate fleets to do some dirty things that are not suitable for the navy, and Sonoff is such an identity, he is subordinate to the Rakshasa Navy. On the surface, he is a red-nosed pirate, who roams the Fuso Sea and the Tatar Strait to complete the tasks assigned to him by the Rakshasa Far East Fleet. Their mission this time was to secretly protect the battleship Polonaysk, which had returned from Australia with important things, through the Soya Strait.

But Sonov never imagined that he and the Bolonesk would be attacked at the same time! As a three-masted battleship, the Polonesk has a lot of attention. It's understandable to be attacked, but how did your identity leak? In order not to teach people to doubt, red-nosed pirates do not only attack the merchant ships of other countries. Many of the merchant ships of the Rakshasa country have also been poisoned by their own hands, and they have also fought a few battles with the Rakshasa Far East Fleet, and Sonov believes that his identity as a pirate has always been well hidden, and this time it was attacked at the same time as the Polonesk, which was indeed unexpected by Sonov.

The other side's intelligence network has infiltrated the top of the Far East Fleet, Sonov hurriedly reported this speculation to the top, and at the same time asked the Far East Fleet to send reinforcements, he believes that since the other side knows his identity, in the case of ensuring the success of the attack on the Polonesk, he will not let himself leave easily, these three brigs are definitely not the real main force of the other side.

As Sonov expected, Gangzi led the Black Sail Pirate Fleet to appear on the sea in the distance on the side.

With four brigs and a military ship, as well as three brigs in the main battle, Sonov recognized the enemy forces with six brigs divided into two fleets. However, the situation of the Polonesk was very dangerous, and it and the five brigs escorting it were under siege by fifteen enemy brigs, and the only three brigs of the Sakhalin Navy had already supported it, but the gap between the enemy and our forces was still too great. The enemy withstood the attack of his eight brigs with eight brigs, and concentrated the remaining seven to besiege the Polonesk. In the face of the attack of seven brigs, I am afraid that a single three-masted battleship will not last long. And the support of the Far Eastern Fleet is far from being able to quench the thirst of the near, and the nearest reinforcement of the Polonesk is only himself.

The stakes are too high for the Bolonesk to be missed. The Rednose Pirate Fleet had already crossed the Star Pirate Fleet, and the START Pirate Fleet continued to turn, detouring beyond the angle of the Rednose Pirate Fleet's gunfire, and aiming its own broadside guns at the stern of the Rednose Pirate Fleet.

Now is not the time to hesitate, Sonov decisively ordered the two escort ships in the tail of the fleet to stay behind, and he himself led three brigs and one escort ship to support the Polonesk.

Gangzi had long prevented the red-nosed pirates from breaking through with their tails, and the Black Sail pirate fleet had already completed the turn on the periphery, although the two vertical fleets were far apart, but the horizontal Black Sail Pirate fleet was parallel to the westward with the Red Nose Pirate fleet, and at the same time, Gangzi ordered the faster Seahorse to rush forward as a containment.

Lu Ze, the captain of the Seahorse, continuously used the captain's skill: Flying Fire Meteor, although the duration of the Flying Fire Meteor is not as good as riding the wind and waves, but the explosive power is full, and the Seahorse rushed to the front of the Red Nose Pirate Fleet in two accelerations, hiding outside the opponent's artillery firing angle, and rushing towards the direction of the enemy fleet is a volley of cannons.

The red-nosed pirates, eager to break through, did not dodge at all, and crashed headlong into the scattering spot of the Seahorse's shells. The firepower of a brig can still be withstood by the Rednose Pirate fleet, but once it maneuveres to evade, it will cause the ship's speed to drop, which will inevitably give the new fleet a chance to get closer. Entanglement here is what Sonov does not want to see, he only thinks about quickly supporting the Polonesk at this time, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy has not accumulated an irreversible advantage, covering the Bolonesk to retreat north into Sakhalin, as long as the things on the Polonetsk are transferred to the island, I believe that the enemy will not fight to the death with his own side without any interests, after all, as a side with three masted battleships and eleven two-masted battleships, it is not a soft persimmon, if you want to annihilate your own fleet, the enemy fleet must also be prepared for the same losses.

The Rednose Pirate fleet put the three brigs in front, the escort ships dragged behind, and the whole fleet discharged in a burst formation to maximize the speed. In front of the Red Nose Pirate Fleet, which was sailing at full speed with shells, the Seahorse lost its positional advantage after several successive shellings, and in the face of the attack of a brig and an escort ship on the side of the Red Nose Pirate Fleet, the Seahorse had to fight and retreat while converging with the main force of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet.

Gangzi's plan to contain the Red Nose Pirate Fleet with the Seahorse failed, and in the face of the Red Nose Pirate Fleet, which was bent on running away, it was impossible to effectively intercept it with the strength at hand of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet.

Brother has always avoided facing the powerful Tosa Fleet, but the plan can't catch up with the changes, and now it seems that facing the Tosa Fleet is unavoidable. Alas...... Fate is really not something that can be avoided if you want to, and the old feud between Brother and Sanqian Benliu Sakura in the Battle of Fuso is always going to be over, but ......? The Tosa fleet has put down such a large amount of manpower and is powerless to do what it wants, will my brother rush in and accidentally rob other people's spoils, oops...... A character like my brother who was born with the aura of the protagonist, such a thing is very likely to happen, I wanted to "quietly enter the village, don't shoot", but the situation is pressing, only three thousand Bensang.

Waha...... "Little guys! Show the battle flag of this commander and scare them to death. ”

Since it could not be stopped, the Blacksail Pirate Fleet no longer tried to leave the Red-Nose Pirate Fleet in this area, and the four brigs also marched in a breakthrough formation, firmly maintaining lateral surveillance with the Red-Nose Pirate Fleet, and the military Fuchuan Bangma turned to the Start Pirate Fleet.

On the other hand, the START pirate fleet has been fighting with the two escort ships left by the red-nosed pirate fleet, and both sides have discharged a standard battle line to shell in a circle on the sea, this method of warfare is compared to the comprehensive strength of the fleet such as firepower and hit rate, and the STAR pirate fleet with three brigs has a clear advantage at this point, as long as the two escort ships do not break out against the sky and hit the key position of the START pirate battleship in a row, the victory will obviously belong to the STAR pirate fleet.
