After all, he was a brother, Zheng Hongkui just wanted to persuade him to surrender, and didn't want to take his life, so he advised: "Old Five, my Zheng family can't fight against the imperial court, so let's stop here!" ”

Seeing Zheng Zhibao lying on the ground and not speaking, Zheng Hongkui sighed and said: "Old Five, time is running out, you can think about it, anyway, I will not let these water brothers of the Zheng family risk losing their heads for some benefits." ”

For Zheng Hongkui's softness, Zheng Zhibao did not return the favor, the hatred in his heart was even stronger, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Eat things inside and outside, and suffer death!" ”

He picked up the sword beside him, jumped up violently, and looked at Zheng Hongkui who turned around and left again.

Zheng Hongkui heard the knife wind behind him suddenly, and he was caught off guard and wanted to dodge but it was too late, he subconsciously raised his left arm to block.

However, how can the flesh and blood block the sharp sword, after all, Zheng Hongkui is not playing with chest crushing boulders, and he has not practiced self-defense skills such as the golden bell hood iron cloth shirt.

Zheng Hongkui only felt a burst of coldness from his arm, and saw that half of his forearm was cut off by Qi Brush and fell to the ground, followed by a sharp pain in his heart.

Zheng Hongkui tightly grasped the incision of his right forearm with his left hand, trying to stop the blood loss from accelerating, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zheng Zhibao, are you fucking crazy?" ”

Zheng Zhibao seemed to be stunned by the tragic situation in front of him, and was stunned on the spot and didn't know how to deal with it, it turned out that he was angry and only thought about waving the knife to give the fourth brother a color, but he didn't expect Zheng Hongkui to dodge, isn't he a martial artist?

Zheng Zhibao subconsciously asked: "Fourth, don't you usually say that you can break stones with your bare hands and be invulnerable?" ”

Zheng Hongkui glared at him fiercely, and left without saying a word, he didn't hate Zheng Zhibao, but his life mattered, what if this bastard thing had a bad idea and killed himself?

Sure enough, looking at the back of Zheng Hongkui leaving, Zheng Zhibao's eyes were glowing with cold light, and he thought in his heart that he would simply not do anything, and he would hack this thing to death on the spot!

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

Suddenly, there was a burst of cannon fire and the sound of shells hitting the side of the ship, and the large main warships of the Jinghai Fleet caught up.

Zheng Zhibao was startled, and hurriedly scolded: "It's all fucking stunned, let's shoot Lao Tzu against the enemy!" ”

Because the change between the two main generals was too sudden, the Zheng family sailors on the Galen ship didn't understand what was going on for a while, until Zheng Zhibao roared angrily, and everyone woke up like a dream.

The cannon salvo rang out again, and the projectiles like hail and fire rained down on the deck only a dozen steps away from Zheng Zhibao, and more than a dozen chain bullets hit the sails, breaking through several large openings several meters long, which greatly reduced the speed of the Galen ship, and the sailors on board all became afraid.

Zheng Zhibao glanced at the surrounding sea area on the deck, and saw seven or eight large warships chasing after him, and suddenly shouted: "Quickly wave the flag, let all the surrounding warships come over!" ”

Zheng Zhibao panicked, feeling that this battle was dangerous, he glanced at Zheng Hongkui's position just now, but found that he had long since disappeared.

The ships of the Jinghai Fleet fired artillery bombardment at once, and after a short time, the Zheng family sailors on the Galen ship also began to fire back with artillery, and in an instant, the ships of each side fired hundreds of guns together, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the sea water was boiling.

The flagships of both sides are waving the command flag to mobilize reinforcements, and the more than 200 warships around Dong'ao Island have been thrown into a mess, and the Jinghai Fleet is not skilled in using the line formation for the first time, and it did not last long before it was scattered.

The warships of both sides were constantly sunk, and many warships had already taken their heads and began to board the ships to fight hard, staging the old tricks of land warfare at sea.

Seeing that the two flagships were working on one side, and the main general was summoning reinforcements again, more than 30 empty warships of the Zheng Jiashui Division returned to the defense one after another to rescue the flagship Galen ship.

However, the Jinghai Fleet also realized the importance of this situation, and while intercepting and entangled, they were entangled again, and the situation was extremely tragic.

However, just when this group of enthusiastic officers and soldiers were swearing to fight to the death, first several small warships of the Jinghai Fleet, which had lost the battle, fled in fear of the enemy, and then the Zheng family's battle situation was worrying, and the Zheng family's warships also began to run wild like chickens.

After three hours of tragic naval battles, with the sinking of the flagship of the Zheng family's naval division, the Galen ship, and the capture of Zheng Zhibao, the naval battle of Dongao finally ended with the victory of the Jinghai Fleet.

The Jinghai Fleet lost 55 large and small warships, with about 1,300 officers and men killed and wounded, including six large warships of more than 800 materials.

The Zheng Division, including the spontaneously combusted fireships, lost more than 90 warships and suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the rest of the ships were completely routed after being sunk in the face of the flagship and fled to Quanzhou.

Looking at Zheng Zhibao, who was tied into zongzi, and the Zheng family's sailors who ran aground on Nanao Island when they fled in a panic, Shen Shouchong's face obviously showed irrepressible excitement.

He didn't expect that this attack on Dong'ao Island, or the big gamble, would be so smooth, and it really had the effect of taking it by surprise.

Deputy Chief Soldier Huang Binqing put away the binoculars, and for the first time looked at the fleet commander with a sincere appreciation, he said: "Shen Junmen, today's success in the first battle, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be happy, and it will not be difficult to be crowned an official and knighted at that time!" ”

Shen Tingyang, the deputy chief soldier on the side, was also smiling, and he was in a good mood.

Shen Shouchong didn't answer, looked at the few warships under his command that had escaped and turned back, and immediately shouted: "Someone! All those who escaped from the battle were put on the deck and killed the head and sacrificed the flag! ”

Looking at the murderous general soldier, the surrounding generals immediately put away their smiles and became serious, and no one dared to plead.

A few generals and dozens of sailors were escorted to the bow of the ship on the deck of the flagship, all of them looking terrified and shouting for mercy.

Shen Shouchong looked at the generals around him coldly, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most important military discipline, and they, these bastard things, actually dare to escape from the battle to break our military discipline!" ”

Shen Shouchong personally came to the deck with a machete, raised his knife and pointed at a group of deserters kneeling in front of him, and shouted: "Today, this general will execute these deserters according to the "Seven Killing Orders" of the Ming Dynasty Military Discipline, and strictly enforce military discipline to all the officers and men of the Ming Royal Navy!" ”

"Poof!" With a bang, the head of one of the generals in front of him was cut off on the spot.

Shen Shouchong threw away the big knife, waved his hand at the executing soldiers, and said, "Cut them all!" ”

Although the Jinghai Fleet has made great achievements this time, Shen Shouchong does not dare to be proud, the Ming Royal Navy has just been established, although this battle was won, it was also a tragic victory, and there were deserters.

He knew very well that the road of the Ming Royal Navy was still very long, and according to the crown prince's plan, the current Jinghai Fleet was like a beggar.

If you want to become a hegemon on the sea, the ship's strength and artillery are the foundation, science and technology and military discipline are the soul, science and technology don't have to worry about yourself, you can only manage military discipline.

Suddenly, a sailor shouted, "My lord, there are a lot of warships in the south!" ”

Shen Shouchong was startled, took the telescope and looked south, and sure enough, he found a fleet sailing towards him, looking at their tall ship type, it turned out to be all Spanish warships?

Huang Binqing also recognized the appearance of the warship, and he said nervously: "My lord, they are all big Buddha Lang machine people, and they should come from the north of Dongfan." ”

Shen Shouchong nodded, I was afraid that these big Buddha Lang people were not good, maybe they came specifically to make yellow birds.

However, there were not many Spanish warships coming, only a few, and they had to defend themselves against the Dutch in the south of the island of Taiwan, so naturally they would not send all their forces (historically, at this time next year, the Spaniards were driven out of Taiwan by the Dutch)

Shen Shouchong said: "Raise the flag, this is the Daming Sea area, let them leave quickly!" ”

The Jinghai Fleet waved the flag three times in a row, but the Spanish fleet still continued to speed and sailed towards this side.

Shen Shouchong immediately said: "All warships fire a round of warnings, as long as they dare to enter the range of our fleet, they will immediately open fire and sink them!" ”

"Yes!"

"Fire!"

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......."

Hundreds of artillery pieces of the Jinghai Fleet roared one after another, and for a time the sound of artillery shook the sky, and hundreds of water columns flew up unevenly one or two miles away.

The speed of the Spanish fleet was noticeably reduced, and after drifting slowly for a while, it finally turned around and headed south.

"Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will lead the Ming Royal Navy and go to their country's waters for a walk!"

Shen Shouchong snorted, raised the order flag and said: "Order, set sail, land in Quanzhou!" ”
