Chapter 615: The Korean Sailor's "Meritorious"

The strongest, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the rise of the Ming Dynasty 1646!

Zheng Zhilong's side easily gathered sixty or seventy warships, and when he looked up, he saw that Hong Xu had cleared a channel in the periphery, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to sail out of the moored ships that were congested around.

However, before his "Sheng" ship moved, dozens of warships of three or four hundred material sizes suddenly rushed out from the side, covering the entire deck with wooden sheds, and the not wide exit was completely occupied in an instant.

He couldn't help but be furious, and asked the flag bearer to wave the flag, ordering the strange-looking ships to give way immediately.

But the other party didn't pay attention to him at all, and only cared about the passage cleared by Hong Xu outward, and even squeezed back and forth between each other, without humility.

"Bastard! Are these guys going to rebel?! ”

The adjutant general on the side hurriedly said: "Junmen, it seems to be the turtle boat of the North Korean sailors." Their martial discipline is lax, and when they are suddenly attacked by the enemy, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control them......"

Zheng Zhilong saw that the Ming army was constantly shelling the warships anchored on the south side, and his face turned blue with anger, and he shouted sharply: "Rush over!" Sink them! ”

"The last general obeys!"

On the flagship of the North Korean Naval Division, Zheng Wancheng glanced at the head of Dang Jiamao on the deck with trepidation. Not long ago, the prison sent by Zheng Zhilong was chewing betel nut, but suddenly his limbs twitched and fell to the ground, and then Han Tong, the "Ming Prison Army", suddenly rushed out and cut off his head.

"Han, General Han, Lord Zheng...... Ah, the thief's flag told me to get out of the way. He swallowed and foamed, "Look at this ......"

"Ignore him." Han Tong shook off the blood from the knife edge vigorously, and said coldly, "I can remind you that when the sailors fire all the artillery, it will be difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, I am afraid that it will inevitably hurt you by mistake, so it is better to leave early." ”

Zheng Wancheng smiled bitterly in his heart, if you didn't keep you from abandoning the ship and landing on the shore, where would there be these dangers?

Han Tong continued: "Lord Zheng only needs to get out of Laizhou Port, and I will send a message to the Ming Imperial Court to remember the work of the Lord who secretly sent the thief's information before." When the court writes the king of Joseon, Lord Zheng will also be promoted, and it may not be impossible to control the three water armies. ”

Zheng Wancheng had been instructed by Renxingjun to fully cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, but now he heard the words "Naval Army Commander", so he immediately put away his fear, shouted in Korean and ordered his subordinates not to let anyone go, and drove to North Korea as fast as possible.

Zheng Zhilong's ship, the "Qiansheng," with dozens of warships, rushed desperately to the passage of about 20 zhang ahead, intending to squeeze out in front of the Koreans.

Unexpectedly, the North Korean sailors were equipped with galleys, and a large number of long strokes rowed together, and the speed of the boats immediately increased a lot. However, the Galen ships and fortune ships, which sail purely by wind power, are very clumsy, and in this narrow space, the starting speed and flexibility are completely inferior to those of the Korean turtle boats, and even because the speed of the ships is too slow, even if they want to collide, they can't touch the edge of these ships.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong could only watch as the North Korean ships sailed out of the mooring area one after another, and after a long time, a warship with the name "Wei" and a few small warships slipped out of the gap, and the other slightly larger warships were all squeezed inside and could not move.

After a while, several shells flying from behind slammed into the "Qiansheng" not far away, and the sea splashed Zheng Zhilong's body.

He hurriedly turned around and looked back, and saw that the fort on the shore had been replaced with the flag of the Ming army, and he was even more bitter in his heart, but he heard that the deputy general on his side hurriedly said: "Military gate, the enemy ship is approaching, and it will be too late if you don't leave!" ”

Zheng Zhilong looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that more than 20 Ming warships were rapidly heading towards this side, obviously noticing that the fort had changed hands and was preparing to come over to surround him.

He looked up to the sky and sighed, stomped the deck, and instructed the lieutenant general, "The 'Qiansheng' should stand back and give way to the road. Subsequently, he himself jumped on a centipede clipper, drilled through the gap in the turtle boats, and boarded the "Wuwei" that had just escaped.

On the north side of the port, Zheng Zhibao also took a lot of effort to sail dozens of warships, including the three "Wei" characters, out of the mooring, and then forty or fifty turtle boats slipped past him like a group of rabbits.

Subsequently, the "Wuwei" raised the flag of Zheng Zhilong, and the flag officer in charge of the bow of the ship waved the flag like crazy, but he was ordered to immediately turn around and sail out of Laizhou Port and go to the octagonal mouth of Yantai as soon as possible.

Zheng Zhibao's heart sank, there was not a single warship with the "Sheng" brand, the situation must not be good, the eldest brother was going to give up Laizhou Port and save the only remaining warship of the sailors.

He hurriedly ordered the forty or fifty warships he had gathered to join the "Wuwei" and rush out of the harbor together.

When Zheng Zhilong finally turned out of the exit of Laizhou Port, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he was shocked to hear the sound of warning drums on the ship. He hurriedly looked up, and his heart suddenly tightened—there were four large and five warships on the sea in the distance. He looked back behind him, but he didn't see the Ming army chasing after him, and his heart was a little relieved.

It's not that Shi Lang doesn't want to pursue, it's just that according to intelligence, there are seven batteries outside Laizhou Port. Quietly entering the harbor before, you can avoid the fort as much as possible, but if you catch up at this time, the captive ship will definitely rely on the fort to resist stubbornly. Rather than chasing those seventy or eighty enemy ships, it is better to destroy the four or five hundred ships parked in the harbor as soon as possible.

"Junmen, what do you think?"

Zheng Zhilong stared at the tall and mighty Shao Wu, squinting his eyes vigorously, if he bypassed the Ming army in front of him, the waterway outside the port was narrow, and it would be difficult to escape its heavy artillery attack. At this time, he still had dozens of warships, large and small, so it was better to rush up and take down the enemy ships. With this giant plywood ship, he joined forces with the Lan people in the future, and he could barely deal with the Ming army.

When he used Chinese-style junk ships against the Helan fleet in Liaoluo Bay, he used this tactic of ants gnawing elephants, relying on a large number of nimble small warships to jump into the gang or set fires, and finally "grinded" the Helan people to death.

As soon as he thought of this, he turned his head to the deputy general and said in a deep voice: "Order, the four 'Wei' warships and the Daxi ship are engaged head-on, and the rest are surrounded by the enemy on all sides, looking for an opportunity to jump to help seize the ship!" At the end, he frowned and added, "If you can't do anything, you must burn the enemy ship!" ”

As the flag of Zheng Zhilongza's ship rose and fell, the four "Wei" Galen ships and the three Da Xi boats, keeping a distance of 100 steps from each other, sailed straight towards Shaowu. The other captive ships were led by more than 100-ton ships to surround the two wings of the Shaowu.

If it had been a few months earlier, in the face of such a battle, Zheng Chenggong would have ordered Shao Wu and other ships to maneuver in a roundabout way to avoid falling into the encirclement and waiting for an opportunity to sink the approaching enemy ships. But at present, whether it is the Shao Wu or the other four corvettes, there are "rapid-fire artifacts" - Franc cannons equipped with rubber seals. This is a different story.
