Chapter 281 Infighting

There was a fog on the sea in the early morning, and the sun had not yet had time to pierce the fog.

The pirate fleet, which was mainly responsible for pursuing Daqin and Atlant, lacked contact due to the fog.

Liu Xiang stood at the bow of the boat, with water mist everywhere, and she couldn't see what was dozens of meters away.

"What the hell is this?" Liu Xiang murmured to himself, "It's really unlucky. It's better to withdraw our territory, where we are familiar with it."

Suddenly, a fire flashed in the black fog, and more than a dozen shells cut through the sea fog and smashed towards Liu Xiang and his fleet! A shell flew over Liu Xiang's head and barely fell into the sea, almost hitting the hull.

"It must be the fleet of the Fu Liao army, and it will fight back at a speed!" Liu Xiang, who was still scared, directed his fleet to shoot against the enemy ships in the sea fog.

The two sides fought in the sea fog, hoping to destroy the other party immediately.

"Why did they fight by themselves?" The Daqin, who was sailing not far away, remembered the cannon sound when he heard the sea fog. However, Deng Qianlong confirmed that the fleet did not fight with the pirates, and he couldn't help but feel funny.

"Let's just watch the show. I didn't expect that if we didn't have to take action, they would fight by themselves." The deputy captain of the Daqin was biting a big cake in his mouth, listening to the occasional cannon sound in the sea fog, and looking at the look of enjoyment.

The two sides surrounded Ishigaki Island and chased each other for a day and a night in the nearby waters.

During the process, many ships were sunk and stranded, but the two ship formations familiar with the water terrain near Ishigaki Island were not in trouble, and only one warship was slightly injured.

When the rising sun rises, the sea mist gradually dissipates, revealing the calm sea surface.

Liu Xiang and the ship opposite him blew for a long time. When the sea fog disappeared, they found that it was his own!

"Zheng Zhibao, did you do it? Why did you fire at us without saying hello?" Liu Xiang brought people to Zheng Zhibao's main ship deck and condemned Zheng Zhibao.

Zheng Zhibao is the younger brother of Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu, and is also a relatively important fleet in Zheng Zhilong's group, commanding nearly a thousand pirates.

"It was obviously your fleet that deviated from the pursuit route, but we thought it was the ship of the Fu Liao army, so of course we had to attack and attack!" Zheng Zhibao also said angrily.

"Grass, we are not familiar with the terrain here, and we didn't expect that there would be fog at this time, so how could we not deviate from the original route! "Liu Xiang counted his own ships. Because of this melee, several more ships were severely damaged and lost their combat effectiveness. "This battle cannot be fought, I want to return to Guangdong!"

"Liu Xiang, are you going to violate my elder brother's order?" Zheng Zhibao was stunned when he saw Liu Xiang turn around and leave.

"Tell Zheng Zhilong to go! I, Liu Xiang, don't want to trek into this muddy water. The Liao army has told me that their target is only your pirates near Xiamen and Yizhou, and will not interfere with our Guangdong fleet. I have no need to help you!"

The furious Liu Xiang angrily directed the fleet to turn around and leave.

Zheng Zhibao looked at Liu Xiang who was leaving in a daze, and then looked at the Daqin and Atlant who were still parked in the distance waiting for him to step forward. He didn't know what to do.

Without Liu Xiang's dozens of ships, he really didn't dare to fight against the Daqin and the Atlant.

"We'll go back too!" Zheng Zhibao threw his hat to the ground helplessly and retreated with his fleet.

Deng Qianlong was also a little stunned when he saw the pirates who had first had a fight with each other and then retreated in disagreement. What's the point?

"Deputy Commander, do we want to pursue?"

Not only the crew members of the Daqin, but also the crew members of the Atlant, Constitution and other ships also asked for instructions from the Daqin.

"Don't chase the poor enemy. We should follow them from afar, so as not to fall into their trap." Deng Qianlong said.

On the coastline of Ishigaki Island, the main force of Zheng Zhilong's fleet was still trying to find ways to attack the coastal defense fortress after sending Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhibao away the Daqin and Atlant.

Zheng Zhihu and Shi Daxuan led the pirates to try to attack the island's defense line again. One person was responsible for blocking the mountain camp troops in the dense forest, and the other person led his soldiers to attack the castle with artillery and muskets.

The defense of the lever is three-dimensional, with crossing firepower. After Zheng Zhihu's troops dropped hundreds of corpses, they collapsed again and fled in panic. Shi Daxuan's troops were also at a loss when facing the elusive mountain camp soldiers in the dense forest.

Zheng Zhilong frowned at the unmoving sea fortress. The pirate coalition forces successively suffered losses on this island, but they were unable to make any progress, let alone destroying the massive amount of supplies accumulated by the Liao army in the Ishigaki Island Fortress.

"Boss, the spies from the Ryukyu Guards have returned. The main force of the Revival Liao army's fleet has arrived at Naha Port. There are thirty warships, more than forty supply ships and troop transport ships!" The pirates responsible for monitoring the Ryukyu Guards reported to Zheng Zhilong.

"The main force of the Fleet of the Refuting Liao Army is coming too fast. Send ships to recover Zheng Zhibao and Liu Xiang. We are going to retreat to Penghu and Yizhou and prepare to fight against the main force of the Refuting Liao Army fleet." Zheng Zhilong said.

"Liu Xiang's troops have returned!" The pirate coalition cheered. The Liu Xiang's fleet, which pursued the Ishigaki Island fleet of the Restoration Army, came back early. It probably should have achieved some results, right?

"Let's go back!"

Liu Xiang returned with the pursuit fleet, gathered the remaining troops of the coalition forces and Liu Kuiqi and other pirate leaders who supported him, and did not say anything more to Zheng Zhilong, and led more than a hundred ships to the south.

"Liu Xiang and the others ran away?" The pirates, including Zheng Zhilong, were stunned. Liu Xiang was really straightforward!

"What happened!" Zheng Zhilong was very puzzled. In his impression, although Liu Xiang was not in line with him, he also had some concepts of the overall situation and would leave with his own power without saying hello.

After Liu Xiang left like this, the Pirate Alliance would reduce its combat effectiveness by at least one-third.

Liu Xiang took his subordinates away, and Zheng Zhibao took the fleet back.

"Zhibao, tell me why Liu Xiang left in a hurry? Could it be that the main force of the Fu Liao army's fleet has arrived in the nearby waters?" Zheng Zhilong asked Zheng Zhibao.

"Actually, it was me who had some conflicts with him..." Zheng Zhibao hesitated to explain the causes and consequences to Zheng Zhilong, especially the two sides encountered each other in the sea fog and killed each other.

"Lucky is so good..." Zheng Zhilong didn't know what to say, but he could have internal conflicts. Even if he formed a coalition, he would not be able to deal with the main force of the Liao army.

"We also retreat to Penghu, meet with the imperial navy, and then ask for help from the Western navy, join the three forces to resist the main force of the Liao army in Penghu." Zheng Zhilong said helplessly, "If we continue to lose in Penghu, we will only be Xiamen Bay."
