Chapter 576: Assault of the whole army
At this time, the originally raging storm has dissipated, but there is still a light rain falling from the sky, at this time no one on both sides of the war is paying attention, in the sky hundreds of meters away from them, a six-winged drone is hovering in the air to see the movement below.
The two fleets were rapidly approaching, as if two sharp spears were facing each other at a rapid speed, and soon the distance between the two sides was reduced to less than a kilometer.
Among the dense warships in the southeast, there is a Dafu ship with a blood-colored skull flag, and this Dafu ship is Zheng Zhilong's flagship.
Zheng Zhilong was standing on the deck at this moment, looking at the Fujian sailors who were rapidly approaching him in the distance from the clairvoyant mirror, and behind him stood two brothers, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao.
Zheng Zhihu looked at the Fujian sailors who had come out of the port, and said with an unwilling look in his eyes: "Damn, the luck of these dog officers and soldiers is really good, if there was no storm, they would have become turtles in the urn long ago." ”
Zheng Zhibao snorted lightly: "Even if it runs out of the port, although our artillery is not as sharp as him, and the warships are not as good as them, our warships are five or six times as good as them, and even if they are consumed, they will be consumed to death." As long as the main force of the Fujian Navy Division can be annihilated here, who else in the entire Ming Dynasty will dare to stand in front of us. ”
"Not bad!" Zheng Zhilong nodded: "As long as the Fujian Sailor can be destroyed, the great Ming Dynasty will not let us gallop." At that time, what we have lost will be returned by the Ming Dynasty with interest! ”
When he said this, Zheng Zhilong's face was full of fierceness. For Zheng Zhilong, since he met Yang Feng, his bad luck has continued one after another, first he was driven out of Fuzhou by the Jiangning army, and in the following year, it is never an exaggeration to describe him as a loss of soldiers, and now he has been beaten to the lair, which makes him who has always been arrogant How can he endure it.
"Someone...... Deliver my orders, and according to the original plan, all the warships will surround them all in two directions! ”
As the colorful flags fluttered on Zheng Zhilong's flagship, hundreds of warships were divided into two teams, one on the left and one on the right, and outflanked the Fujian sailors.
The drone hovering in the sky immediately transmitted the situation to Yang Feng, and Yang Feng did not hesitate, and immediately told Liu Xiang in the cockpit about the situation on the walkie-talkie.
When Yang Feng told Liu Xiang about the situation, the voice on the walkie-talkie paused, and then Liu Xiang asked: "Master Hou, at this moment, the enemy is outnumbered, and the situation is different from what we expected, I don't know what you plan to ......."
Yang Feng interrupted her words and said decisively: "Don't ask me, now you are the supreme commander of the fleet, as long as you give an order, I will also obey it!" ”
The sound of breathing in the walkie-talkie began to become heavy, and after a while, Liu Xiang's slightly excited voice sounded again: "I understand! ”
Soon the captains of all the battleships received a brief order from Liu Xiang: "Assault the whole army!" ”
"Tell all the brothers...... Fire! ”
Zheng Zhilong shouted viciously.
"Ready!"
"Fire!"
On the flagship of the Fujian Water Division, Liu Xiang also waved his hand fiercely.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Almost as if an appointment had been made, the cannons of both sides rang out at the same time.
The already calm sky seemed to have suddenly blown a tornado, and a strong wind suddenly blew everywhere in the sky, and countless projectiles roared in the sky with a scorching temperature and pounced on their respective targets. The sky, which had become a little cold due to the rain, immediately rose several degrees in temperature.
Because the number of shells is so large, Yang Feng can even see the trajectory of the shells from the display screen. Black dots slammed straight ahead, and even some cannonballs collided with each other in mid-air and made a tooth-aching metal impact before being bounced off and then falling on the surface of the sea with a messy splash.
"Tom ......"
"Tom ......"
A dense rain of bullets fell like raindrops from the sky, splashing countless jets of water.
It's also funny to say that the first round of shelling on both sides seemed to be just to embolden themselves, and not a single shell hit the target. However, strictly speaking, it is not surprising that in this era, the hit rate of shelling at sea is really outrageously low, especially when the two sides fire at a distance of nearly a thousand meters, and they still hit moving targets, and the hit rate is even more predictable.
In the wheelhouse, Liu Xiang said to the walkie-talkie: "All ships immediately report the loss!" ”
"The Qingyuan is not damaged!"
"The Ningyuan is not damaged!"
"The Haining is not damaged!"
Hearing that all ships reported that there was no damage, Liu Xiang nodded, looking at the enemy ships in front that had been outflanked from the left and right flanks, she took a deep breath and ordered: "Order all ships, move forward at full speed, and we must not let the enemy surround us." ”
A hesitant voice came from the walkie-talkie: "My lord, Zheng Zhilong will definitely stop us desperately!" ”
Liu Xiang sneered: "Whoever dares to stop us, let's knock him away!" ”
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
With Liu Xiang's order, in the face of the hundreds of warships led by Zheng Zhilong, Liu Xiang not only did not dodge, but rushed over with a posture of dying together.
When the two sides were more than 500 meters apart, the second round of shelling began.
This dense rain of bullets once again enveloped the respective warships of both sides, especially the five third-class battleships that rushed to the front, which became the primary target of Zheng Zhilong's group, and almost half of the shells were aimed at them.
"When ......"
"Dangdang ......"
Suddenly, two harsh metal crashes reached the wheelhouse, and the battleship, which was moving at high speed, shook slightly.
Liu Xiang's face changed, and he turned to the first mate behind him and said, "We have been shot, hurry up and send someone to investigate the damage to the battleship!" ”
"Yes!"
The first mate took the order, but he quickly walked back, "My lord, our ship was hit by two live shells, but both hit the armor steel plate and were bounced out, and our hull was not damaged!" ”
"That's good!" Liu Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, Yang Feng surged with admiration, fortunately Hou Ye put iron armor on the battleship, otherwise they would be a little choked under the two bullets.
Liu Xiang's battleship was hit by two bullets, Zheng Zhilong and they were naturally not spared, a No. 2 Fu ship that was traveling more than 30 meters in front of Zheng Zhilong was hit by a 24-pound cannonball in the middle of the mast, because the impact force was too strong, and it just hit head-on, the high mast, with a creak, broke hard. The mast was broken, and the large sails naturally fell down. The pirates below were caught off guard, and immediately blood flowed all over the ground, and some people were killed on the spot, and the deck was suddenly in disarray.
There was even another No. 3 Fukufu ship, which was hit by a thirty-two-pound waterline on the side of the ship, and a hole about half the size of a dining table was broken, and in just a few minutes, several tons of seawater poured into the hold, and the ship of more than fifty tons sank to the bottom of the sea.
Faced with the loss of his own warship, Zheng Zhilong's eyes did not show any distress, but said indifferently: "Keep shooting!" ”
"Boom, boom, boom......"
War is the most ruthless and ruthless, it has no mercy or righteousness, only killing and death.
Since Zheng Zhilong's order was to hit the fire and attack the five third-class battleships in the front first, these five third-class battleships were under the greatest pressure, which could be heard from the piercing metal impact sound of the cannonballs hitting the iron armor on the side of the ship from time to time.
But what Zheng Zhilong didn't expect was that it was precisely his order that minimized the losses of the Fujian Navy Division, due to the protection of the iron armor, most of the shells that hit the side of the ship were bounced off by the iron armor, and they did not cause any damage at all, and this also made the five or six class warships following behind rarely attacked by cannonballs.
On the other hand, the pirates led by Zheng Zhilong were not so lucky, after being hit by the shells of the Fujian Naval Division, all the ships that were shot were all flesh and blood Feng Fei, wailing all over the ground, and after the second round of shelling, several warships were sunk, and for a while, the originally dense formation immediately became chaotic.
