Not long after the order was passed down, the battle started again! Pirates, which were much larger than Liu Guangting's fleet, surrounded them from all directions, and were immediately attacked by artillery fire after entering the shooting range! But the pirates were not to be outdone and fought back with artillery! For a moment, the sound of cannons was rumbling, and the cannonballs were coming and going. It looked very lively! It's a pity that there were not many casualties on both sides!
Liu Guangting's reason here is that the soldiers were poorly trained and the accuracy of the artillery was low, but they made up for this with the number of artillery. As for the pirates, although the people responsible for firing are all veterans and their accuracy is relatively high, their number of artillery is far lower than that of their opponents!
Moreover, the soldiers on both sides had learned wisely and did not gather on the deck, so both sides did not play much role except wasting the shells. However, as the distance got closer, the artillery of both sides became more and more accurate, hitting each other's boats with sawdust flying, and many soldiers were stabbed and fell to the ground!
But the pirates soon couldn't hold on to this kind of shooting! The tracker's men were the first to turn around and leave. When the other pirates saw this, they couldn't hold on and immediately dispersed as quickly as possible! Seeing this scene, Li was so angry that he slapped the side of the boat and cursed!
However, Li Dazui suppressed his anger and directly ordered the second fleet to come forward. Liu Guangting also took this opportunity to re-correct his formation, moving the fleet from the inner circle to the outer circle. The artillery of the inner circle fleet has not fired a few rounds, so they can barely be regarded as a new force!
Unsurprisingly, the second pirate attack was also repelled! Then this is the third and fourth time! Liu Guangting's men were extremely tired from this series of attacks! If they hadn't changed their defense every two rounds, they would have been exhausted!
And the pirates' artillery is not a vegetarian! People will die if their cannonballs hit them, and they will be injured if they are hit by sawdust! And their numbers are originally smaller than their opponents, especially since many of these sailors have just transformed from pirates and have not really adapted to their status as soldiers, so their morale is inevitably a bit low!
And some people even thought of escaping! After all, if you win, fight, and if you don't, leave. This is the true way of pirates. So when Liu Guangting saw this situation, he had to use trustworthy people as the core and a small number of people to set up a supervising team, and announced that as long as everyone escaped this time, everyone would get a reward, which would boost morale. !
But as time went by, the sailors became increasingly fatigued and less responsive. Even the speed of counterattack is decreasing! And almost at the same time, an artillery explosion occurred on each of the two ships!
Taking this opportunity, Pufferfish saw two flaws in the opponent's formation and immediately seized the opportunity to attack! They almost broke through the first ring of defense! Fortunately, other ships filled the gap and pushed them back with fierce firepower, without causing the defense line to waver!
But now Liu Guangting has no way to retreat from the enemy. He can only hope that night will come soon so that they can escape by night, but he also knows that this hope is too small. Li Dazui, on the other hand, gradually felt that the opponent's counterattack was weakening, so his confidence increased a lot! The experienced pirates even felt that victory was within sight, so their morale actually increased!
After the pirates attacked several times in a row, Li Dazui recalled all the ships and asked the pirates to check their equipment one last time. This time he was ready to attack in an all-out manner and completely eat Liu Guangting before sunset!
After the inspections were completed, Li Dazui was seen standing on the bow of the ship and giving orders loudly, like a general on the battlefield! I just heard him say loudly: "Brothers, it will be dark in less than an hour, and those bastards on the other side will definitely escape under the cover of night, so we must resolutely block them and tear them into pieces! As long as Kill all these people, and they will have no one to defend the villages in Da Liuqiu. When we occupy the villages, we don’t have to stay on the island to get a full meal. There will be people to farm and weave for us. Bu, maybe we can all establish another country! Then I will be the emperor, and all of you will be generals! So whether you can be popular and drink spicy food in the future depends on this!"
After hearing Li Dazui's words, the leader and the pirates on the ship seemed to have really seen the day when they would become generals! Everyone's face turned red, their eyes were fierce and they screamed loudly! Maybe they even
I don’t know what I’m shouting!
Not only was Li Dazui boosting morale, but Lang Lifei and four others also announced pre-war mobilization to their opponents, and the contents were similar. However, unlike Li Dazui, they did not feel that they were destined to be emperors. They only promised their subordinates generous rewards and future land in Ryukyu!
In their view, the Ryukyu settlement has become something they want and want! They even have plans to take all the cultivated fields as their own, turn all the original residents into slaves, and then open up more fields for them! A beautiful picture unfolded before their eyes!
But Liu Guangting was much more practical here. 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 and ascend to heaven, we have to find a way to wait until nightfall! So! Everyone returned to their respective posts and made it clear to the crew that we had killed many people on the other side, and the other side would not let us go, so don’t even think about surrendering! We all know that officers must fulfill their duties and execute anyone who tries to People who run away! And everyone knows that there is another most important duty, which is to light the gunpowder barrel in the cabin when their ship is about to sink, and die together with these ***!"
Everyone looked shocked when they heard this! But they can also understand Liu Guangting's approach. The officers who were supervising the battle team turned pale and looked miserable!
Liu Guangting continued: "What I want to emphasize is that as the supervising team, you are naturally labeled as direct descendants, so those pirates will not let you go if they let anyone go! If you die in the performance of your duties, maybe you will still be able to survive." We will find a way for the other brothers to survive! After all, when they see that we dare to die with them, they may not dare to attack!"
Several officers looked much better after hearing this. Because they understood clearly, Liu Guangting did not require everyone to die together with the enemy. What Liu Guangting meant was that only the first ship to be captured was allowed to self-destruct! So everyone thinks that they should not be so unlucky! However, the face of the officer supervising the team still looked ugly!
