Chapter 265 Lure the enemy (3)

Zhang Tianbao himself agreed to go to the battle, so Zhao Bingjian couldn't say anything else. However, he and Zhang Tianbao didn't notice the cold light flashing in Taro Tanaka's eyes with a smile on their faces. The reason why Taro Tanaka tried his best to instigate Zhang Tianbao to fight was naturally not a good idea. He participated in the rebellion to loot property, but he was defeated by Liu Ruosi in the water village mountain. Although he escaped by luck, the looted property was all was wasted. Naturally, he had to find a way to recover the losses from Zhao Bingjian and Zhang Tianbao, two pig teammates.

When he was in Zhangzhou, he was taciturn and made a fortune in silence. He was quite respectful to Zhao Bingjian, but the situation is different now. When he arrived in Dongfan, he was his home court. The Japanese pirates entrenched here were all his old acquaintances and subordinates. It was ridiculous that Zhao Bingjian still couldn't recognize the situation and still acted like a marshal, which naturally made Taro Tanaka very dissatisfied. However, Zhao Bingjian and Zhang Tianbao's combined forces were still more than him, so he had to find a way to consume Zhao Bingjian and Zhang Tianbao's troops, so that he had the opportunity to annex Zhao Bingjian and Zhang Tianbao's troops and become the largest pirate force in Dongfan!

Guo Zhiyuan and the others were using telescopes to observe the movements of the rebels' remnants. Seeing that the city gate of the rebel stronghold opened and a large group of soldiers rushed out, Liu Ruosi shouted excitedly: "It's successful! Lord Guo's trick is a clever plan. Our strategy to lure the enemy is indeed successful!..."

Guo Zhiyuan's mouth also raised slightly, but he still said calmly: "Don't let go, let the soldiers continue to beat the drums and shout!"

After a while, twenty lucky ships in the rebel water camp pulled their anchors and sailed out of the water camp. Liu Ruosi was so excited that she clenched her fists and said, "It's done! It's done this time completely!"

Guo Zhiyuan also breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand hard and said, "Send the order! Drive the ship and come forward to meet the enemy!"

"Ah?!" Liu Ruosi was stunned and said, "This... this is too dangerous, right? Since we have successfully seduced the enemy, why should Lord Guo take risks? We just need to wait for the enemy ship to come here, fire a few shots in a manner, and then evacuate quickly, so as to ensure the safety of Lord Guo!..."

Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand and laughed: "If you act, you have to act in the whole set. If we don't come forward to meet the enemy, fools will know that there is something wrong. Only by hitting the rebels and losing their minds can we ensure that our plan to lure the enemy is successful!..."

Liu Ruosi had no choice but to order the fleet to come forward to fight. The distance between the fleets of both sides was closer. Guo Zhiyuan could clearly see Zhang Tianbao, who was standing on the bow of the enemy ship, and quickly ordered: "Switch the rudder, turn the ship horizontally, and prepare to fire the cannon!..."

Soon the fleets of both sides entered fire. The naval battles of this era really didn't have much technical content. They all first "bang, bang, bang" the shells were shot when they met, and their accuracy was very poor. Most of the shells fell into the sea, causing high waves. It was actually difficult to hit the enemy ships when they were busy. It was a big deal of luck.

However, Zhang Tianbao and the others were all riding on the Dafu ship, which was four times that of Guo Zhiyuan and the others. The firepower was naturally much stronger than that of Guo Zhiyuan and the others. The waves caused were also larger than that of Guo Zhiyuan and the others. The shells fell densely on the sea around Guo Zhiyuan and the others' fleet like raindrops, and the waves splashed onto Guo Zhiyuan's ship, and were full of dangers!

Seeing this, Liu Ruosi hurriedly said, "Mr. Guo, retreat quickly! The enemy is numerous and we are few, so we should not fight in love!..."

Guo Zhiyuan shook his head firmly and said, "You can't retreat now! You must cause damage to the enemy to completely anger them!"

Liu Ruosi stomped her feet in a hurry. At this time, she could only pray that she would be lucky to hit the enemy ship first. Luck seemed to be on the side of Guo Zhiyuan and the others. Because Guo Zhiyuan and his boat were small, they seized the initiative and hit the ship horizontally, so they had been using the ship's side cannons to bombard the ship. Zhang Tianbao did not know how to fight water, and he was still using the bow cannons. Because the ship's side cannons were platoons, the coverage was larger than the bow cannons. Moreover, the gunner on the ship was brought by Liu Ruosi from the navy. He had received some formal training and was much better than the bandits under Zhang Tianbao. Soon Guo Zhiyuan took the lead and a shell directly hit a big lucky ship on Zhang Tianbao's side. Suddenly, the Dafu ship screamed repeatedly, and fires appeared on the ship!

"I hit it!" The soldiers on Guo Zhiyuan cheered in unison, and their morale rose! Zhang Tianbao finally realized that it was not good to use the bow gun to bombard the ship, so he quickly ordered the fleet to turn the rudder and use the side gun to bombard the ship. When they hurriedly adjusted the fleet formation, Guo Zhiyuan and the gunners on Guo Zhiyuan seized the opportunity, made another contribution, and hit a big lucky ship in Zhang Tianbao's fleet!

Liu Ruosi was not excited at all, because he knew that once Zhang Tianbao's fleet formation was adjusted and he switched to the ship's side guns to bombard him, the enemy's firepower and numerical advantages would suppress his side, and the battle situation would be one-sided! He quickly persuaded Guo Zhiyuan anxiously: "Mr. Guo, can you retreat now?! If you don't retreat, it will be too late!"

However, Guo Zhiyuan shook his head expressionlessly and said, "Wait a minute!"

Liu Ruosi looked at Guo Zhiyuan in amazement. If he followed his previous temper, he would definitely grab Guo Zhiyuan's neck and shout to him: "Are you crazy? Are you here to lure the enemy or die? You don't want to die, I'm still going to die!" However, the time he got along with Guo Zhiyuan during this period made him feel deeply awe of Guo Zhiyuan, so he suppressed his anger and did not do so.

At this time, Zhang Tianbao's fleet finally completed the formation challenge and switched to the ship's side guns to bombard them. Their firepower advantages were fully utilized. The shells fell densely around Guo Zhiyuan and his fleet, and the waves splashed onto Guo Zhiyuan and his ships. The gun smoke of this era was also huge, and the dense waves and smoke filled the entire ship, so even the ship could not see clearly!

"Retreat!" Guo Zhiyuan finally shouted out the word Liu Ruosi had always dreamed of and quickly ordered the fleet to turn around and retreat!

The bandits under Zhang Tianbao cheered when they saw Guo Zhiyuan and their fleet retreat. Zhang Tianbao was almost mad and gritted his teeth and said, "I want to run away?! It's not that easy! Chase me!..."

However, Zhang Tianbao's fleet had just adjusted its formation and used ship's side gun to shoot. If you want to pursue it, you must adjust the direction. In addition, Guo Zhiyuan and his team were small and easy to turn around. After they adjusted, Guo Zhiyuan and his fleet had already driven a long distance.

Zhang Tianbao's subordinates were not all fools. When Zhang Tianbao was a bandit in Zhangzhou Prefecture, he also caught several scholars and served as military advisors. Seeing this, he said, "King, something is wrong. Liu Ruosi took the initiative to challenge him and ran away after firing a few shots. Could it be a trap, right?..."
