"Enough heat! Hit the signal! Let Chen Peng and them lean on both sides and make way for the fireboat! ”

Zheng Zhilong, who was watching from his flagship, calmly and brutally saw the situation on several Dutch warships through the telescope, and he leaned down to deliver orders to the standard-bearers standing below.

The two standard-bearers waved their flags and signaled for the first wave of attacking greenheads to step aside and make way for the small boats that were attacking the fire.

Chen Peng listened to the commander's order conveyed by his subordinates, and when he heard the commander order each ship to make way for the follow-up ships, he couldn't help but get angry in his heart, and grabbed the sentry officer's collar, "Damn! Spread the military order in vain, Lao Tzu beheaded you! ”

Looking at the sword in the hand of the general, the sentry officer reluctantly reported to him, "My lord, even if you have the courage to do so, you don't dare to fake military orders, you can go and see for yourself, the flag is still repeating on the handsome ship!" ”

Looking through the smoke of the fire, Zheng Zhilong's flagship flagbearer was still waving the flag in his hand, "Get out of the way, the fireship is ready to attack!" ”

"Damn!" Chen Peng ruthlessly slashed the sword in his hand towards the railing, almost cutting off the thick railing.

"Signal! Let the ships fight hard again! This time instead of shotguns, use solid bullets! Suppress the fire of the Dutch so that the brothers of the fireship can rush up! ”

Twenty big blue-headed warships fired a dense cannonball at the Dutch ships with anger, so that the Dutch also hurriedly returned fire, and when the smoke in front of them slowly cleared, the twenty big ships that had been shooting at them before. It is slowly moving to both sides, and on the wide front, there are nearly 100 ships densely packed, almost covering the sea!

The 100 ships that came were loaded with sulfur, saltpeter, straw and other things, and what was even more terrifying was that there were ten oil altars in the bow, and the hands and feet of the soldiers on the ships were also oil altars, and there were almost twenty oil altars on one ship. If you think of the oil jar as a jar with cooking oil, you are very wrong!

The oil jar of the system zuò. is made with duck eggs or eggs. It is better to make a large goose egg, with an opening at one end and remove the yolk to leave the egg white. Refill with fish oil. Seal with cotton paper; Loaded into porcelain or pottery jars. Ten eight are not eclectic, to fill as a degree, plus a lid. still sealed; Then use a string or fishing net to wrap it around the altar.

This weapon has appeared in John Woo's version of Chibi, so in that movie, except for some lines such as "I want to keep a cool head" and "cute", the most impressive thing is this weapon.

In the bow of the boat, sharp, barbed nails made of wrought iron become the killers that lurk underwater.

This is the second wave of Zheng Jun's attack formation, the fireboat!

Encouraged by the wind, hundreds of ships swooped down on the Dutch fleet flying the red, white, and blue flags that had just been used in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

"Guo Xi!" Chen Peng shouted loudly on his boat towards the water, directing the boat to move forward. "If you don't have enough courage for the dog, if you don't have enough courage, you will come to the big boat, and I will set fire to it for you!"

Guo Xi stood on his sampan, formed a microphone with both hands, and replied loudly to Chen Peng: "Old Chen, don't worry, I'll do my own thing!" You wait for your brother to snatch a foreign woman back for you! ”

The ridicule of the two gradually drifted away in the sea breeze mixed with the smell of gunpowder and fireworks, "Hu Mei, Lin Cha, Chen Xiu, Chen Jingwu, Fang Ji, Yuan De!" All ships and teams are on alert! Prepare to set fire to the two plywood ships led by the siege! ”

Seeing that the fleet with the Dutch was getting closer and closer, Guo Xi's relaxed expression when he put away and teased Chen Peng became solemn.

"Guerrilla Lord!" A sailor struggled to hold the helm behind him, "When will the fire be ignited?!" ”

"How far is it from this Dutch ship now?"

Ignoring the projectiles flying by from time to time around him, his eyes stared at the Dutch ship that was getting closer and closer in front of him, and from time to time a small boat behind him was hit by the Dutch's artillery fire, and a huge torch was lit on the sea, and the ships behind tried to control and dodge these ignited fireships to prevent themselves from becoming the next one.

"If you go back to your lordship, there are about two hundred steps up and down, if we light the fire, with the wind, the boat can just rush up and nail the boat of this group of red-haired ghosts!"

Before the words fell, a cannonball swept through the air, hitting the sailor with the rudder in his hand, taking his head away from his neck, and his body became a little scorched because of the high temperature of the cannonball, and there was no bleeding for a while, but in an instant, the pressure of the blood vessels and heart rushed through the wound sealed by the high temperature, and a column of blood sprayed out, and the small boat of Guo Guerrilla suddenly lost its direction and began to spin on the water.

"Steady!"

Guo Xi turned his head and shouted.

A soldier jumped up and held the helm firm, holding the fallen soldier by the way.

"Who knows the address of his home? Go back and remember to send the bounty to his home! ”

As he spoke, the boat was less than a hundred and fifty paces away from the Dutchman's first ship, and Guo Guerrilla picked up an oil jar and smashed it on the bow deck. Suddenly, fish oil spilled all over the bow of the boat, and he took a torch, "Ready to light the fire!" ”

More than a dozen soldiers on the ship each picked up an oil jar and smashed it on the ship's board, so that the fish oil was fully mixed with the straw, sulfur saltpeter and other substances on the ship.

"About a hundred paces from the enemy!"

The ships of the two sides are getting closer and closer, and in the face of the obviously ill-intentioned boats, the fleet of the Dutch East India Company can only desperately use artillery fire, and Chen Peng in the distance is also desperately supporting his Pao Ze brothers with artillery fire.

"Eighty paces away from the enemy!"

Guo Guerrilla visually measured the distance and route, and now he and the ships behind him were less than sixty paces away from the Dutch fleet, no matter how the Dutch turned the rudder and adjusted the sail angle, they could not escape from such a dense fireship attack.

"You guys, dive!"

Guo Xi took a few steps to the rudder of the boat, held the rudder, and urged the more than ten sailors to dive.

The sailors hesitated to put on a tripod made of thick bamboo. "My lord, let's jump together?!" ”

"Bastard, what are you talking about?! Get out! ”

Guo Guerrilla raised his foot and kicked one of the sailors into the sea, and the rest of the sailors had to dive into the water one after another, paddling in the water to stabilize their bodies while observing the movements of the guerrilla adults.

Guo Xi clamped the rudder tightly between his legs, trying to open his eyes, which were a little misty by the sea breeze and smoke. Slightly aligned the direction. Ignited the rag on the oil jar in his arms, the rag was soaked in oil, and suddenly the flames jumped happily, "The red haired Yi of the dog day!" ”

Guo guerrilla scolded fiercely. He threw the torch and the oil jar towards the bow of the ship.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound. A fireball rose from the bow of the ship. With the explosion of the oil altar, Guo Guerrilla fell backwards, and the feeling on his body changed from hot to cool. He knew he was already in the sea.

With a few strokes of his hands and feet, his head poked out of the water, and the little boat that had just been ignited had rushed straight onto the Dutch warship, and the hull of the ship collided with each other, making a muffled thud, and it was the iron nail in the bow that nailed the Dutch plywood ship!

The fire soon spread along the side of the ship to the entire hull, and the Dutch warship, besieged by more than a dozen fireships, turned into a huge fire, and the ship let out a series of desperate wails and screams.

"Well done!"

Guo Xi leisurely paddled in the water, observing the scene of the Dutch warship being ignited by the fireboat, and he didn't know whether to praise himself or others.

rowing a small boat of Zheng Jun on the side, Chen Peng on the boat looked at Guo Guerrilla in the water with a smile, "Guo Xi, do you say that you are willing to soak in the water more, or are you willing to come up?" ”

"Chen Peng, don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu is swimming comfortably!"

"That's good! You swim slowly, the marshal spoke, and ordered me to take advantage of the chaos to attack, and be sure to capture a few Dutch plywood boats, if you can capture alive any of his big bosses, such as the king of the sea, the governor of Putmans, etc., it will be a great merit! ”

"Hey! Ay! Brother Chen, pull your brother up! Brother will have to go with you to catch the king of the sea, what the governor! ”

However, it was not only Chen Peng and Guo Xi who stared at this great achievement, Zheng Zhilong's generals Xu Ze, Yang Geng, Chen Shengyu, Xu Nai, the general of the utility general, Wang Siguan of the garrison, Lin Xianzhong, Zhu Jiabin, the chief of Wuwei, the sentinel Chen Hua, Lin Sheng, Su Cheng, Wang Zhi, Wu Yu, Xie Xu, Chen Guo, Wu Liang, as well as Zheng Zhihu's sentinel Ou Lian and Xiangyi villager Cai Liang and others, all drove small boats directly to the Dutch fleet that had been in chaos!

Supported by artillery fire from the battleship Daqingtou, the boats attacked several Dutch plywood boats struggling in the smoke and flames. Lowering the boat and firing guns at the opposing ships with sailors to kill the sailors and officers of the opposing side was a proud tactic of the Dutch, but today it was returned the favor by the other.

The gunners on the small boat, calmly aiming at the swaying figures on the plywood boats on both sides of the ship, and when the figure was a little clearer, they immediately pulled the trigger, and as the fire rope touched the medicine pool, a projectile flew to the opposite side of the ship under the impetus of gunpowder.

Under the heavy fire of cannonballs and firebolts, no one on the deck dared to lean out to operate the ship, and many people dropped their swords and firearms, knelt on the deck, clasped their hands, and prayed to the Virgin Mary to send down a miracle so that her people could escape from this sea of fire.

"Zhibao, when this battle is over, you accompany me to Nanzhong, I will go to thank Li Shouhan in person, if it weren't for the gunpowder and big Buddha machine he sold us, today's battle, brothers don't know how many more people will die!" I'm afraid that the sea is full of the corpses of my brothers! ”

What he has to do now is how to expand the results of the battle, how to prevent the southern deputy general Gao Yingyue on the left wing, the Quannan guerrilla Zhang Yongchan on the right wing, the Penghu guerrilla Wang Shangzhong who served as a guerrilla, Liu Yingzhong, the former deputy chief soldier of the governor's cronies, and the Chinese army of Deng Shu, the former staff general.

The progress of the war at sea is like climbing over a mountain, climbing to the top of the mountain, and the impact on the bottom of the mountain is unstoppable. One after another, the battle reports were passed through the guò banner, and the sailors who reported the victory were constantly delivered to Zheng Zhilong.

"Guo Xi, Hu Mei, Lin Cha, Chen Xiu, Chen Jingwu, Fang Ji, and Yuan De all contacted each other and attacked and burned the two red-haired plywood boats!"

"Zheng Ran, the general manager, took the lead in attacking the Fort Middle, the flagship of the Hongmaoyi people. Shot and killed! ”

"The sentry officer Zhang Wu, the general manager Zheng Cai, and the thief Huang Sheng jumped to the gang successfully, killed a lot of Hongmaoyi people, and captured a plywood boat!"

Watching his subordinates frantically tear the body of the Dutch fleet like tiger sharks at sea, they divided the plywood ships surrounded by fire from the fleet, and used the small franc machine on the small boat and the fire hammer in their hands to bombard the soldiers and sailors on the side of the ship, and then threw out ropes one by one, swarmed up, boarded the plywood boat and started hand-to-hand combat with the Dutch on board. And those red-haired people also knew that they had reached the last critical moment. They gritted their teeth and fought to the death with the Zheng soldiers who boarded the ship. On deck, on the ship's side, on the sail line, on the mast. Both sides used swords, short spears, firearms, firearms, and firearms to shoot and assassinate. From time to time, the bodies let out screams and fell to the ground. Or fall into the water, and in the blink of an eye, be swallowed by the sea, leaving only a ball of blood on the surface of the sea.

Two small boats sailed on the surface of the sea. The sailors and officers on the ship held copper trumpets in their hands, and loudly conveyed Zheng Zhilong's new orders in the sea breeze and waves.

"The handsome man has an order! Guo Xi, Hu Mei, Lin Cha, Chen Xiu, Chen Jingwu, Fang Ji, and Yuan De burned two Hongmaoyi plywood boats, and each rewarded 500 taels of silver! Sentinel Zhang Wu, Qian Zong Zheng Cai, and Huang Sheng, who captured a plywood boat, were each rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver! ”

The sea suddenly seemed to be boiling, and the soldiers of Zheng Jun listened to such a reward, and they moved forward desperately, and the enemy in front of them had already been marked with a price, and set fire to a plywood boat, and sixteen people divided it into two hundred taels of silver, kill a Dutchman, and reward fifty taels of silver, burn a plywood boat, reward five hundred taels of silver, and capture a plywood boat, one thousand taels!

"Zhibao, you bring people over, tell Gao Yingyuebu, Zhang Yongchan, Wang Shangzhong, Liu Yingzhong, and Deng Shu of the left-wing and right-wing guerrillas of the middle army, and tell them that the Dutch red-haired rebels are desperately breaking through the siege, and our army is not enough, please come to their aid quickly!"

After pondering for a while, Zhilong gave such an order to his younger brother.

"Big brother, this, the Dutch are almost finished! Let them come, isn't this giving them the credit?! ”

Zheng Zhilong's face showed a hideous smile, "The art of war has clouds, and the virtual is the real and the real is the virtual." This group of guys, seeing us and the red-haired people desperate, can't wait to hide far away, and when we are almost dead, they will come up again to pick up the ready-made credit. You see in the Water Margin, when Song Jiangnan fought in the Northern War, did the officials and soldiers help him? It's all picked up ready-made in the back. ”

"Yes, yes! Now we say that the Dutch are desperately breaking through the siege, and it is the time when the trapped beasts are still fighting and returning to the army, with their broken ships and the soldiers who drank the blood of the soldiers to the point of madness, where dare to come to this troubled water?! ”

One by one, the messengers requesting support drove the fast boat, took Zheng Zhilong's letter of request for help, and went to the direction where the remaining four Ming army sailors anchored in the direction of the sea off Liuluo Bay. However, the reply I got was, "Please rest assured, Lord Zheng, after we finish cleaning up Liu Xiang, Liu Jiu, and Li Dashe, we will go to support immediately, please Lord Zheng must resist it!" ”

Then there was silence on the surface of the sea.

"Humph! I knew you would! ”

After listening to the messengers who went to the four military horses to "ask for help", and listened to them tell them that Liu Xiang's fleet sailed westward, and these people did not fire a single cannon or a boat to intercept them, but just collected some money to buy the road and let Liu Xiang and others escape, Zheng Zhilong's face became more and more ugly.

"This group of guys is not only cowardly and afraid of the enemy like a tiger, but also covets Liu Xiang's bribes and intends to be thieves!"

When the army saw thieves who were about the same strength as themselves, they deliberately let go of a hole and let them escape. Of course, in return, the thief will leave some money as money to buy the road. At that time, this was called a peace thief, or a war of peace.

Bursts of thunderous cheers and roars erupted on the surface of the sea, interspersed with the sound of firecrackers firing into the air.

Zheng Zhibiao, who was patrolling around Zheng Zhilong's ship Daqing, jumped on the boat with a happy face, "Big brother! We've won! ”

"Bastard! This is in the army, there is no big brother! Reward with a military salute! ”

Zheng Zhibiao, who was severely reprimanded by his brother, hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "General Qiyu, our army's former enemy has reported victory!" ”

"Speak!"

"Staff General Chen Peng, guerrilla Guo Xi, sentinel Hu Mei, Chen Lin and others bravely killed the enemy, took the lead, boarded the Hongmaoyi plywood boat, and captured the fake king of Haiyi!"

"Big brother! Of the eleven Dutch ships, there are only five now! Do you want the brothers to work harder and kill them all in one go?! Zheng Zhibao was also ecstatic on the side.

The so-called king of the sea was the commander of the fleet of the East India Company, as the commander of the fleet of this military operation, but it seems that the position should be under Putmans.

"Zhi Leopard! Write a letter to the Governor right away! ”

Zhilong thought about it for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"Victory?! Our army completely annihilated the red hair and rebelled against Liuluo Bay? Zheng Zhibao speculated about his eldest brother's thoughts.

"Nope! The submission is written like this, and our previous military exploits are all clear, especially the capture of the king of the pseudo-Haiyi Dynasty. ”

"And then?"

"And then? It is said that due to the sudden change in the direction of the wind at sea, our army's firearms were blown back by a headwind, and the wind blew the fire, and the losses of our army's fleet were quite heavy. The flag and sails of my ship were also swept up by the flames, and when the boatman saw this, the formation was slightly chaotic, and some rebellious people took advantage of the situation to make trouble, and it was rumored that Zheng was dead. ”

"Big brother, this, it's not very lucky, right?" Zhibao hesitated.

"Write as you want!"

Zhilong glanced at Zhibao and continued to dictate the general content of the submission.

"Taking advantage of the situation, with the help of the power of the evil wind, the smoke and fire, the wolf rushed, and went to the open sea, our army is in pursuit, and it will be destroyed and eaten!"

"Zhi Biao, go to your brother Hu, sue him, open an opening, so that the red-haired people can rush out, remember, the play can't be too fake!" (To be continued......)
