Chapter 671: Surrounded but not attacked
Soon, the five warships were hit one after another, with flames everywhere and unable to move forward at all.
This is true for all new warships, let alone ordinary pirate ships.
Under the attack of fixed artillery shells, almost every shot can sink one ship.
"Damn it, if this continues, we will be defeated."
Looking at the reduced fleet with the naked eye, Yi Zang felt extremely regretful.
"Did we just lose Beehive Island?"
Jin Guduo's eyes were full of unwillingness.
He had only arrived on Beehive Island a few days ago.
In just a few days, it was lost?
"If Beehive Island is lost, how will we explain it to Captain Ye?"
Rakjo looked worried.
The four of them were originally the four captains of the Whitebeard Pirates headquarters. In the past two years, they had not had any chance to perform on the big ship, but Ye Fei gave them this opportunity.
And as soon as the war started, they lost their territory.
How to explain this?
"Attack me now and take back Beehive Island at all costs."
Diamond Jozi's face was extremely ugly.
He is the main person responsible for managing Beehive Island for Ye Fei.
Once the Beehive Island is lost, he needs to bear the main responsibility.
Just as he was about to give the order, he was stopped by several captains.
"Have you forgotten that the defense of the island was made by the two of us?"
"A strong attack will only lead to greater losses."
Izo shouted to stop.
Since taking over Beehive Island, all of their defenses on the island have been greatly strengthened in order to defend Beehive Island.
And now those extremely strong defensive measures will be turned against him?
He couldn't just watch his crew members die under gunfire.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Diamond Jozy slowly calmed down.
"While we still have most of our strength, evacuate out of the range of the firepower point."
Yi Zang answered decisively.
Only in this way can losses be temporarily stopped.
"You mean to besiege but not attack?"
Diamond Jozy asked.
"That's right, this is the only way it can be done now."
"Let's see what the Navy will do."
"In addition, Captain Ye once said that if we cannot resist the navy, we must report in advance."
Izo said.
As early as in the Shinjuku Islands, Ye Fei had given such an order.
It's just that he was not in Shinjuku at the time, but he knew Ye Fei's orders very well.
The best policy is to besiege without attacking and call for additional troops.
"Forehead......"
Diamond Jozy hesitated.
He still agreed with the idea of retreating first.
Immediately, the troops were ordered to retreat and stay away from the range of the island's artillery.
But whether to report it to Ye Fei or not.
He didn't know what to do.
Once he reports it, it means that he has no way to defend the Beehive Island.
That is extremely embarrassing.
"What are you waiting for?"
"You are the manager now, if you don't report it"
"Then I will contact Captain Ye."
Izo said angrily.
He has never doubted Ye Fei.
Even if Beehive Island is temporarily lost now.
As long as the White Regiment's reinforcements arrive, Beehive Island can still be recaptured.
"Okay...okay"
Diamond Jozy had to agree.
Bai Tuan's evacuation was clearly visible under Huang Mu's telescope.
"Are you going to run away so soon?"
Huang Mu's intention is still not over.
Originally, he thought the pirates would launch a strong attack.
Unexpectedly, they retreated directly.
He did not immediately order a pursuit.
Instead, stare in their direction.
After a while, the Baituan fleet suddenly stopped.
"It seems that I haven't really planned to escape yet."
Arammu thought to himself.
Their fleet is no longer within the fire coverage of the island.
Aramaki also judged that they did not want to leave easily.
Stay away, just avoid getting hit by the projectiles.
Should we attack or defend Beehive Island?
He couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
"Report to General Huang Mu that Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel is here."
Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel has landed on the island from one side.
Under the leadership of the soldiers, the two met quickly.
"You came just in time. How is the situation on the sea now?"
As soon as they met, Aramaki couldn't wait to ask.
"We lost a total of five warships"
Under the pursuit of the Whitebeard Pirates, Flying Squirrel lost nearly half of his troops.
"Looking at it this way, we didn't lose much."
Huang Mu nodded.
Five warships are worth it in exchange for Honeycomb Island.
"Admiral Aramaki, the pirates are on the sea now."
"What's your next step?"
asked the flying squirrel.
"This is exactly what I want to discuss with you."
"Defend or fight?"
Aramaki was hesitant on this point.
Judging from the plan of the Navy Headquarters.
Taking over Beehive Island, they had completed their plan.
But the pirates were not eliminated, and he felt a little restless.
