Chapter 595: Going ashore
On the battlefield, is a distance of three hundred meters a safe distance?
If this question is put in the future, even people with a little military common sense will be amused? Not to mention a professional sniper at such a distance, even the accurate shooters in the army will never hit your left eye if they say they want to hit your right eye.
But in this era when cold weapons are still the mainstay, this distance will undoubtedly make the best sharpshooters feel desperate, although Zheng Zhilong has fought with the Jiangning Army several times, and he also understands that the Jiangning Army is a firearms-based army.
Everyone, including him, thought that three hundred meters was already an absolutely safe distance for a firearm with an effective range of less than a hundred meters, but he didn't understand that this distance was not insurmountable for Yang Feng, who had opened the hanging.
So he died, a 7N1 special sniper bullet hit him in the chest, the narrow warhead penetrated his body at a speed of 850 m/s per second, and then pierced his body at a speed of 570 m/s, instantly pulling his body out of a bowl-sized hole, and in just a few seconds, the amount of bleeding instantly reached a thousand milliliters.
Zheng Zhilong died, and died a few seconds after the bullet kinetic energy shattered the muscles of his chest and the heart of his body, and died very simply and without pain.
And with his death, the pirates who were still imposing also completely collapsed.
The Zheng family group is a pirate group established with the three brothers of the Zheng family as the core, with the death of Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhilong in battle, especially the death of Zheng Zhilong, who is the core leader, the morale of the entire pirate group suddenly fell to the lowest point.
"Oh no...... The big boss is dead...... The big boss is dead, wow......"
"Brothers, the big boss is dead, run!"
Fear spread throughout the entire fleet in the shortest possible time like a plague, and the pirates who were originally high morale and were not afraid of casualties and desperately attacked the Fujian Navy Division were in chaos in an instant, and countless people were asking the people around them about the truth about the death of the Zheng family brothers, but more and more people knew that the three Zheng brothers had died, especially after Zheng Zhilong was also dead, many pirates even turned the bow of the ship and began to flee backwards.
Yes, just fleeing, these pirates fled when they had the upper hand and already saw the dawn of victory. Although there were still many leaders belonging to the Eighteen Zhi who tried their best to restrain and order the pirates to continue the attack, no one listened to them except for a very few of their cronies, especially many ships, especially those cargo ships and merchant ships that only carried pirates and had no firepower.
"Big brother...... Second brother ......"
On a clipper ship in the distance, Zheng Zhibao, whose face was as pale as paper, looked at the chaotic fleet ahead in a daze, with hatred, resentment and disbelief in his eyes.
"Big brother is really dead? It's impossible, I think my Zheng family brothers have been crisscrossing the sea for many years, and they have always been invincible and defeated, and even the red-haired devils have to look down on us, why are the eldest brother and second brother all dead today? You're all dead, what's the use of me living? ”
Listening to Zheng Zhibao's stunned words, several henchmen around him were all panicked, and one henchman was afraid that he wouldn't be able to think about it, so he quickly knelt on the ground and cried: "Fifth master, now that the big master and the second master are gone, you have to take good care, otherwise if you also go away, wouldn't the young master and lady who are far away in Fusang be even more helpless!" ”
"Yes, the eldest brother and the two children Sen'er and Jiro, if I also die, wouldn't their orphans and widows be even more helpless." Zheng Zhi Leopard Nannan said, "No, I can't die yet, the eldest brother and second brother are no longer here, I must survive to take care of my sister-in-law, Sen'er and Jiro, but before that, I have to go to the Resha Barrier City." ”
After saying that, Zheng Zhibao began to gather the fleet, gathered some of the leaders and pirates who were loyal to him on weekdays, and took advantage of the chaos to flee to the north.
As soon as Zheng Zhibao left, the pirates who had lost their command began to mess up, Liu Xiang and Lu Guangbiao, who were originally commanding the fleet to resist, of course would not let go of this opportunity, and they were overjoyed that they immediately commanded the fleet to chase and kill the past, and for a while, in the rumbling of cannons, one after another pirate ships were shot, either sinking to the bottom of the sea or losing power and floating on the sea like dead fish.
The battle continued into the evening, and the sound of the artillery slowly stopped when the vision was blurred.
"Master Hou, it's getting late, and I can't see clearly."
In the offshore sea near Ben Harbor, Liu Xiang said with some regret.
As night fell, the light around Bon Harbor became very dim, and the visibility was less than twenty or thirty meters. The telescope could only see the light of the fire, and saw that there were artillery firing, but it was impossible to see where the shells fell and how much damage they had done. Although the rumbling of the cannon continued to be heard, even the gunners who fired the guns did not know the effect of the shelling.
"Let's land!"
Yang Feng said lightly.
"Master Hou, it's getting late at this time, otherwise let's wait until dawn tomorrow and take the big army over and go ashore." Liu Xiang said with some worry.
In the original plan, their task today was to fight a decisive battle with Zheng Zhilong's fleet, and only after most or all of Zheng Zhilong's fleet was annihilated would they let the follow-up cargo ships and merchant ships transport the Jiangning army to Ben Port for landing.
But as the saying goes, the plan did not change quickly, and everyone, including Yang Feng, originally thought that they would be able to defeat Zheng Zhilong after several days of hard fighting and heavy casualties, but they did not expect that they would destroy all of Zheng Zhilong's fleet in one day, and achieved such brilliant results, so now they encountered a new problem, that is, these pirates were defeated so quickly that they were completely unprepared for landing.
"No...... Can't wait until tomorrow. Yang Feng shook his head and said, "Don't forget, there are tens of thousands of people in Ben Gang. If the weakness allowed the defeated pirates to return to Bon Harbor and calmly arrange their deployment, even one night would be enough for them to do a lot of things. If there are some desperate pirates who burn and loot in Bon Harbor, when our people land in Bon Harbor, I am afraid that all they will see will be ruins and corpses everywhere. ”
Liu Xiang was shocked when he heard this.
She has been in Zheng Zhilong's group for many years, she really knows too much about the temperament of those pirates, usually there are Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu under pressure, the pirates are not guilty of the people of Bon Harbor, but now the people who can suppress them are dead, and no one dares to guarantee what these desperate pirates will do.
"It's still the Hou Ye who thinks thoughtfully, but this is a negligent position." Thinking of this, a layer of fine sweat suddenly oozed from Liu Xiang's smooth forehead.
Yang Feng nodded: "It's good that you understand, now you immediately order all the firecrackers of each ship to be drawn out, and Ben Hou will personally lead them to land!" ”
