Rebirth of South America as King

On an island near Puerto Rico,

The simple wooden houses and fences made sounds in the fire. More than ten thick smoke rose straight from the island and spread in the air for a long time without dissipating.

After a fierce island defensive battle ended, Hou Taiyuan and his men left the defended island highlands to the place where the pirates landed.

More than a dozen ships abandoned by the pirates stranded on the beach. More than 200 corpses were scattered near the coast. Most of these corpses belonged to the pirates who attacked Feilong Island, and a small number were Chinese pirates killed in battle.

Hou Taiyuan walked towards the coast step by step, and the Chinese pirates around him continued to separate their companions who died from battle and deal with the pirate's body.

Walking to the edge of the coast, Hou Taiyuan stopped and looked around at the scene after the battle, his frowns wrinkled into a straight line.

Last night, the pirate's raid hit the Chinese pirates by surprise. Eighteen Chinese pirates patrolled on the coast were stopped by the invading pirates at the guard post. The guards and warnings on the flying island were lost. After landing, the anomaly was discovered, but at that time nearly half of the pirates had established a foothold in the coastal area. Waiting for Tai Yuan to lead the emergency gathering of the three hundred Chinese pirates to launch a counterattack, but failed to drive the invading pirates to the sea, but lost 50 In order to save their strength, Hou Taiyuan ordered all the pirates to transfer to a base located in the center of Feilong Island to use the dangerous terrain of the base to resist the attacks of pirates.

The battle went on one day and one night. The pirates did not capture the high ground waiting for the Thai Yuan defense. Moreover, the ships piloted by the Chinese pirates returning from the sea have returned. The two ships have battled each other on the surface of the sea. Seven or eight ships were severely damaged and stranded on the coast and were unusable.

It is difficult to eliminate the pirates who adhere to Feilong Island in a short period of time, and the Chinese pirates who have returned home constantly launch attacks on invading pirates.

After insisting on attacking for one day and one night, the attacking pirates chose to give up and completely evacuated Feilong Island this morning, leaving only Chinese pirates on Feilong Island full of ruins and dead bodies on the ground.

The sneak attack on Feilong Island is a premeditated hostile act. Hou Taiyuan thought about the identity of the pirate who attacked Feilong Island-Babu. The last time Babu and his pirates attacked the fleet carrying Chinese workers without success. At the same time, I also got a lot of men. After Babu's withdrawal, Hou Taiyuan successfully occupied a small sailing ship and two merchant ships. The news came to Babu's group of pirates. They thought they were Chinese pirates. Taking advantage of them, they sent people to Feilong Island to claim half of the ships and materials they had seized as compensation, but they were rejected by Hou Taiyuan decisively, and the two parties ended up in conflict.

As a pirate who lives on the edge of a knife, because conflicts of interest and other pirate forces broke out fighting is inevitable, Hou Taiyuan did not regret his decision, but watching the destruction of the island ’s defense facilities in the north and the deadly wounded pirates, waiting The heart of Tai Yuan couldn't help but hurt.

The six hundred Chinese workers who were rescued last time because of injuries and the lack of materials and medicines on the island, only five hundred people survived. In addition to the original three hundred pirates, the pirates of more than eighty people have already been regarded as a considerable pirate force.

After experiencing this battle, however, the newly developed Chinese pirates were hit hard. There is no exact data on how many pirates can be left.

Worrying about the status of pirates under his command, after Taiyuan Yuan inspected the island, they called together Wang Yongtian and other pirate leaders, asking about the specific losses caused by the pirate raid on Feilong Island.

Wang Yongtian is responsible for managing the financial and logistical affairs of the Chinese pirates. When the battle broke out, he was driving a convoy of small sailing ships and several merchant ships with a group of pirates to buy supplies on the island of Cuba, and found the pirate offensive when he returned home. Flying Dragon Island, then attacked the pirate fleet on the sea, dispersing the pirates' attack on Flying Dragon Island.

At the end of the battle, under the urging of the waiting Thai Yuan, Wang Yongtian spent less than half a day to calculate the loss of Feilong Island, and finally got the approximate loss data.

Combat losses consist of three main components: personnel, island houses and defensive facilities, and ships.

In terms of personnel, the total number of Chinese pirates before the war was 812, the number of combatants was 700, the number of dead was 170 after the battle, 140 were seriously injured, and 140 were slightly injured. Most of the more than 100 people who were slightly injured were able to recover their combat power, but the severely injured pirates There is almost only a dead end on Feilong Island, which lacks medicine and medicine. Even if it survives by chance, it will leave various hidden dangers and lose combat effectiveness.

Except for the lightly wounded, nearly half of the combat-capable pirates lost in World War I, even though Hou Taiyuan had made psychological preparations in advance, it was still hard to accept what Wang Yongtian had just said.

"Three hundred people lost in World War I. Are the Nagata brothers wrong?"

"I've personally checked the dead brother's body and the seriously injured brother's situation, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Wang Yongtian's words made Hou Taiyuan's heart cool. "Over half of the combatants were lost, and the external enemies are staring. If they attack again, will their pirates be able to withstand it? Even if they defeat the pirate attack, Feilong Island, which had suffered heavy losses, can How many people are left? "

"Exile in a foreign country, hiding on a small island and struggling to survive. Even on such a day, nearby enemies will not give the Taiping Army remnants a chance. Is it really necessary for God to watch all the Taiping soldiers die? Do n’t give Taiping Old brothers, a little way to live? "

The heavy casualties aroused Hou Taiyuan ’s despair for the fate of the Taiping remnants and his brothers. His heart was resentful and bitter. “Babu wants to destroy Feilong Island. We ca n’t let him live. Notify all brothers and gather strength. Attack on Torty Island, let's make a break with the niggas! "

"The general is not allowed," Wang Yongtian hurriedly dissuaded. "The pirates who attacked Feilong Island nearly 2,000 people. Babu's pirates did not have such great power. It must be that all the pirate forces on Torty Island joined forces to attack Feilong Island , Otherwise it would simply not be possible with Babu's strength. "

"General, there are three pirates on the island of Torti. Their overall strength is more than 2,000. In addition, Torti belongs to their old nest. If we attack Torti, they can mobilize more power to deal with it. We, in this way, even if all the brothers on Feilong Island were sent to attack Torty Island, only the entire army would be wiped out. Please consider the safety of all the brothers, and don't take it for granted! "

Hou Taiyuan was angry and wanted to use his remaining strength to throw his revenge alone, but not all pirate leaders were stunned by the despair of anger. After Wang Yongtian dissuaded him, another old peace army advised.

"It's not possible to take the initiative to attack, are we going to stay on Feilong Island and wait for death?"

Hou Taiyuan knew that the pirates who attacked Feilong Island were not only the Babu family. Because of this, he felt desperate. This attack meant that the Haitian pirate forces represented by Babu were officially enemies with them. Before Feilong Island was attacked, With the strength of 800 people, they can deal with Haitian pirates, but after losing half of their fighting power, they are unlikely to survive in the Caribbean with the remaining pirates and wounded.

Hou Taiyuan sighed and calmed down. "The attack on Torti Island was all with the enemy. After this battle, there are only two roads left on Feilong Island, one is waiting on Feilong Island for more than ten days or Half a month later, the pirates attacked again, and the other way was to stop being pirates and sell to Cuba as laborers.

Hiding on Feilong Island and being blocked alive by **** is too embarrassing ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ And what is the end of being a labor? Everyone understands that since we have been forced to death, it is better to take the initiative to attack and kill a few more **** Revenge for the dead brothers is better than waiting for death. "

He waited for a while and continued, "The houses and fortifications on the island were burned out before the pirates withdrew. Even if you did not hear the data of the Nagata brothers about the loss of the island's materials, everyone has a general understanding. The fortifications were destroyed. Weapons and ammunition were exhausted, and the Yongtian brothers led the fleet and the pirates of the superior forces, the losses will certainly not be small. Based on the overall ratio, Feilong Island can be said to be exhausted.

Hou Taiyuan ’s performance today is very different from his previous image. Perhaps it is the practice since he led the Taiping Residual Army to establish a foundation on Feilong Island, allowing Hou Taiyuan to slowly get rid of his thinking habit of only using force to solve problems. I began to consider the possibility of battle victory from the overall strength comparison.

It is sometimes not good to see through the comparison of strengths. If it was before, Hou Taiyuan would not consider so much. Ignoring the consequences and confronting the enemy can solve the problem. After clearly measuring the possibility of victory in the war, he knows that the active attack is almost It is even more painful to do it without success.

Hou Taiyuan talked about the status of Feilong Island, Wang Yongtian opened his mouth and tried to persuade him again, but found nothing to say, and the wooden house was quiet.
