0405 Death Battle
Not long after the order was passed down, the battle began again! Pirates, who outnumbered Liu Guangting's fleet, surrounded them from all directions, and as soon as they came into range, they were attacked by artillery! But not to be outdone, the pirates also returned fire with artillery! For a while, the cannon roared, and the shells came and went, which looked very lively! It's a pity that there were not many casualties on either side!
Liu Guangting is here because the soldiers are not well trained and the accuracy of the artillery is low, but they make up for it with the number of artillery. And here in the pirates, although the people in charge of firing the cannons are all veterans and the accuracy is relatively high, the number of their cannons is far lower than that of the other party!
Moreover, the soldiers on both sides learned wisely and did not gather on the deck, so both sides did not play much role except for wasting shells. However, as the distance approached, the artillery of both sides became more and more accurate, and the sawdust on each other's ships flew one after another, and many soldiers were stabbed and fell to the ground!
However, the pirates soon got a little stuck with this kind of shooting! The slender man's men were the first to turn around and leave, and the other pirates couldn't hold on when they saw this, and immediately scattered as fast as they could! Seeing this scene, the angry Li slapped the side of the boat and scolded!
However, Li Dazui still suppressed his anger and directly ordered the second fleet to come forward. And Liu Guangting also took this opportunity to re-correct his formation and transferred the fleet in the inner circle to the outer circle. The artillery of the inner circle flotilla has not yet fired a few rounds, so they can barely be considered a fresh force!
Not surprisingly, the second pirate attack was also repulsed! And then it's the third, the fourth! Liu Guangting's subordinates were extremely tired by this kind of rotational attack! If they hadn't changed the line every two rounds, they would have been exhausted!
And the pirates' artillery is not vegetarian either! Their shells will kill people if they hit them, and they will be injured if they are pierced by sawdust! And their numbers are already smaller than each other's, especially since many of these sailors have just transitioned from pirates and have not really adapted to their status as soldiers, so it is inevitable that their morale will be a little low!
And some people even had the idea of running away! After all, if you win, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will leave, this is the real way of pirates. So when Liu Guangting saw this situation, he had to use trustworthy manpower as the core, with a small number of manpower to set up a supervision team, and announced that as long as everyone escaped this time, everyone would have a reward, which would boost morale!
But as time went on, the sailors became more and more tired and sluggish. Even the speed of counterattacks is decreasing! And almost at the same time, there was a case of an artillery bombing on each of the two ships!
Taking this opportunity, the puffer fish saw two flaws in the opponent's formation, and immediately seized the opportunity to attack! They almost broke through the first line of defense! But fortunately, the other ships filled the gap and pressed them back with heavy fire, without causing the line to waver!
But now Liu Guangting has no way to retreat from the enemy, he can only hope that the night will come early, so that they can escape through the night, but he also knows that this hope is too small. And Li Dazui's side gradually felt that the opponent's counterattack was weakening, so his confidence increased a lot! Experienced pirates even felt that this victory was in sight, so their morale was actually high!
After the pirates attacked many times in a row, Li Dazui recalled all the ships and asked the pirates to check their equipment one last time, and this time he was ready to attack in full and completely eat Liu Guangting before sunset!
When the inspection was completed, I saw Li Dazui standing on the bow of the ship and giving orders loudly, like a general who crisscrossed the battlefield! I heard him say loudly, "Brothers, it's probably going to be dark in less than an hour, and those bastards on the other side will definitely escape by the night, so we must resolutely block them and tear them apart!" As long as these people are killed, they will have no one to defend the villages of the Great Ryukyus, and when the time comes, we will occupy the villages, and we will not have to stay on the island to starve and be fed, someone will farm for us, someone will weave cloth for us, maybe we can all set up another country! When the time comes, I will be the emperor, and you will all be great generals! So whether you can eat fragrant food and drink spicy food in the future is up to you!"
Hearing Li Dazui's words, the leader and the pirates on the ship seemed to really see the day when they ascended the altar to worship the general! One by one, their faces turned red, and their eyes were fierce and they roared loudly! Maybe even they connected themselves
I don't know what I've been shouting!
Not only did Li Dazui boost morale, but the four people in Lang Lifei also announced their pre-war mobilization under their opponents, and the content was much the same. However, unlike Li Dazui, they did not feel that they had the destiny to be emperors, but only promised their subordinates heavy rewards one by one and the land in the Great Ryukyu in the future!
In their opinion, the settlement of the Great Ryukyu has become something they want! They even have a plan to take all the cultivated fields for themselves, and then turn all the original inhabitants into slaves, and then go and open up more fields for them! A beautiful picture unfolded before their eyes!
Liu Guangting was much more practical here, and he gathered all the officers on the ship and said loudly, "Everyone has seen that the situation is not good! If we want to escape from the Ascension, we have to find a way to delay it until nightfall! So everyone went back to their respective posts and made it clear to the crew that we had killed and injured a lot of people on the other side, and the other party would not let us go, so don't have the idea of surrendering! The officers who know it will do their duty and execute anyone who tries to escape! And they all know that one of the most important duties is to light the powder keg in the cabin when their ship is about to fall, and die with these ***s!"
When everyone heard this, their expressions were all stunned! But they can also understand what Liu Guangting is doing. And the officers of the overseer team were pale and miserable!
Liu Guangting continued, "I want to emphasize that as a warlord, you are naturally labeled as a descendant, so those pirates will not let anyone let you go! If you die in the line of duty, you may find a way for your brothers to live! After all, when they see that we dare to die with them, they may not dare to let go of the attack!"
Several officers looked much better when they heard this. Because they understood that it was not required that everyone should die with the enemy, Liu Guangting meant that only the ships that were captured were allowed to blow themselves up! So everyone thinks they shouldn't be so unlucky! However, the faces of the officers of the Overseer are still not good-looking!
