Chapter 579: The End

Knowing that the bumper horns were installed in the bow of their ship, the five third-class battleships that rushed to the front no longer had any worries, and they went on a rampage like five majestic steel behemoths, smashing the enemy ships that stood in front of them.

Although the pirates were brave, they were not stupid, and after witnessing their warships being smashed to pieces by the other side, even the bravest people lost the courage to stop them and began to flee in all directions.

Seeing this situation, the dozens of fifth- and sixth-class battleships that followed behind the third-class battleships were not idle, and when they saw that the pirates were actually fleeing in the direction of their own ships, the officers of these battleships gave the order to shoot one by one.

"Prepare ......"

"Put!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

Countless thumb-thick shotguns mixed with solid cannonballs once again let out a grim smile, swept through the sky, and smashed down fiercely. Their trajectories were still clearly visible, even so slow that you could see them swaying through the air with the naked eye, but it would be a bad luck for anyone to underestimate the speed of these shells. And there are just too many of them.

The distance between the two sides was only a few tens of meters, and because the pirates were in a hurry to flee for their lives, there was a chaotic scene for a while, and the hit rate of the shells at such a close distance was naturally needless to say, and at least half of the shells fired in this round hit the target.

"Puff puff!"

It was the sound of the deck being smashed through.

"Crackle!"

It's the sound of wood debris flying.

"Squeak Quack"

This is the sound of the ship beginning to tilt after being shot, and the broken mast is made.

Of course, it's more of the pirates' screams of horror and despair.

If the warships that were destroyed just now hit the pirates' will to fight, then this round of shelling is from destroying the pirates' bodies.

The solid bullet, which was bigger than a rice bowl, smashed a hole in the deck the size of half a dinner table. Every cave entrance is surrounded by a mess. Underneath the hole, there is also a piece of wolf.

The pirates who were hit directly by the solid bullets turned into a pile of flesh on the spot, lying on the messy deck. As for being hit by shotguns and those pieces of wood chips flying everywhere, there are even more.

Even those who survived were almost entirely covered in blood, both their own and their companions' blood.

This round of shelling was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the pirates finally couldn't stand it anymore, and some pirates broke down mentally because they couldn't bear the pressure.

They howled and jumped out of the boat into the water, swimming desperately into the distance, while others rushed to the foredeck and desperately turned the rudder in an attempt to escape as fast as they could.

At this point in the battle, it can be said that the encirclement of Zheng Zhilong's hard-working subordinates has been torn open.

As Liu Xiang, who has been at sea for so many years, naturally she will not let go of this opportunity, and under her command, dozens of warships broke through the encirclement of the Zheng family's fleet in an instant.

Seeing that the Ming army's sailors broke through the encirclement and walked away, Zheng Zhihu was so angry that he scolded, Zheng Zhibao frowned, but Zheng Zhilong was much calmer, frowning and said: "Second brother, fifth brother, it seems that you can't leave Liu Xiang, a slut, here today." ”

Zheng Zhihu roared unwillingly: "Big brother, I'm unwilling, Liu Xiang, this slut must die today, I will immediately lead the people of my headquarters to stop her, I must capture her alive today and kill her!" ”

"Smack!"

only heard a crisp sound, and a palm print immediately appeared on Zheng Zhihu's face.

"You idiot!" Zheng Zhilong pointed at Zheng Zhihu and shouted angrily: "If it weren't for you, how could Liu Xiang, who was originally a member of Eighteen Zhi, leave?" If it weren't for you, how could Liu Xiang become the deputy admiral of the Fujian Navy Division of the Ming Dynasty? Now you don't reflect on your mistakes, and you are still so impulsive, do you have to kill all your brothers to be willing? ”

Speaking of excitement, Zheng Zhilong stretched out his hand to hit Zheng Zhihu again, but was stopped by Zheng Zhibao.

I saw Zheng Zhibao smile bitterly: "Big brother, don't beat the second brother, you don't know his thoughts, Liu Xiang is about to become his demon, in this life, Liu Xiang will either die or become the second brother's woman, otherwise the second brother will not give up." ”

Under the persuasion of Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhilong stopped, glared at Zheng Zhihu hatefully, and said angrily: "Second brother, don't say that Liu Xiang has now become the deputy admiral of the imperial court, even if she is still a member of our Eighteen Zhi, it is impossible for her to marry you, so you should die of this heart as soon as possible." ”

Zheng Zhihu also smiled bitterly, rubbed his slightly red and swollen left cheek, and said with some frustration: "Big brother, I also know that it is impossible for Liu Xiang to marry me, but I am just unwilling, since I can't get her, then simply destroy her, if not, I am really unwilling." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong shook his head helplessly, his second brother seemed to be in a rage, and he was really hopeless.

"That's it, whatever you want, do whatever you like!"

Zheng Zhihu quietly looked at Zheng Zhilong, and said tentatively: "That...... Big brother, I'll go first! ”

Zheng Zhilong didn't speak, and waved his hand to signal him to go away.

Soon, Zheng Zhihu broke away from the formation with dozens of warships and forced towards the Fujian Naval Division......

Today was a day destined to stain the sea with blood, and Liu Xiang led more than 50 Fujian sailors and hundreds of warships led by the three brothers of the Zheng family to fight to the death less than 20 miles away from Bengang.

In the battle, which lasted for several hours, the Fujian Navy Division lost six warships and more than 300 officers and men of the division, while the losses of the three Zheng brothers were even greater, with a total of 116 ships and more than 4,000 sailors from the more than 360 warships that went out.

It wasn't until dusk that the two sides were exhausted and stopped fighting, and each withdrew from the battlefield, and the interesting thing is that when the Fujian Navy Division retreated towards the Daming Sea, the six Dutch warships were late, watching the departure of the Fujian Navy Division.

In this battle, Zheng Zhilong lost thirty percent of his strength, which can be described as a heavy loss, and the Fujian sailors did not get any better, and the loss of six warships and hundreds of sailors made Liu Xiang stomp his feet in distress.

The loss of the battleship is secondary, but she can't stand the casualties of hundreds of sailors, you must know that it is not a simple matter to train a qualified or even excellent sailor officer and soldier, it takes a lot of time and money.

But in any case, after this naval battle, the distressed Zheng Zhilong Group finally stopped harassing the Daming coast, and Yang Feng also suspended the long-term blockade, and both sides nested at home like injured beasts to lick their wounds.
