Kaha also felt that there was only this possibility, so he turned to his relatives and said, "Go and kill me the one who eats inside and out!" ”

"Huh!"

When the guard left the cabin, Kahahu sneered again: "What if the southerners buy Xiaoxiao and use some tricks?" He has only fifty ships in all, and only five or six large ships, and our army can be crushed to pieces with a single blow! ”

Several Zhejiang officers had mistakenly followed Niu Bin's suggestion to leave Qiantang and go east, and when they heard this, they hurriedly echoed, "What the adults said is extremely true, but it is just a small group of cockroaches. ”

"If you don't measure yourself, fifty broken boats dare to go deep into Qiantang......"

"Since they came to die, it will save us trouble......

"That's right! I packed up the Nanren warship in three or two times, and I will be able to return to Hangzhou tomorrow! ”

When Kaha heard the word "Hangzhou", he immediately remembered Qin Huai Xiangyan, so he pointed to the northeast direction and shouted: "Order, the whole army immediately pulls anchor and marches to the east of the lower Panshan, and destroys the southerners' warships, and everyone will be rewarded!" ”

Su Li frowned when he heard this, and hurriedly arched his hand: "My lord, but it is not appropriate to go to the east side of Xiapan Mountain." ”

He pointed to the northwest side of the upper and lower mountains on the chart, "If the enemy wants to go to Hangzhou, he must pass through here."

"And our army is closer according to this, if we go north immediately, we will definitely be able to intercept the thief's way to the west, and Hangzhou will be foolproof."

Kaha didn't know about water warfare, and when he heard it, he didn't know everything, "Okay! Then the order to go north! ”

In fact, Su Li thought too much, and Zheng Chenggong sent a message that the attack on Hangzhou was just to lure the Qing army away from Wucaoyu to protect the Zhejiang naval division.

……

When the Qing army, which was attacking the garrison of the Zhejiang Naval Division, withdrew from Wucaoyu and reboarded the warship, Kaha stood on the bow of the ship in high spirits and ordered the march.

He was thinking in his heart that after this big defeat of the Fujian Naval Division, he would turn back and slaughter the Zhejiang army in Wucaoyu, and the two combat exploits would be compatible, or he could be promoted to a knighthood.

"I didn't expect to be the chief soldier of this water division......

He was talking to himself when he heard someone running behind him, and before he got close, he shouted, "Report! My lord, there are more than 50 enemy ships on the northwest side! ”

"What?!" Kaha was stunned when he heard this, "Where did this come from?" ”

"Lord Hui, according to the person who delivered the letter from the Niu Command Post before, the flag should be a Fujian warship."

Mo said Gaha, even Su Li and the others also looked at each other, he originally planned to intercept the Fujian Navy Division in the northwest of Xiapan Mountain, but he didn't expect that as soon as he left Wucaoyu, people had already found the door.

Previously, Zheng Chenggong deliberately revealed that he was going to attack Hangzhou, and it was expected that the Qing army would definitely intercept in the northwest direction. He had planned to lead his troops south quickly with a tailwind, and then use the speed advantage of his ships to catch up with the enemy and carry out a surprise attack from behind.

Unexpectedly, the northerly wind suddenly became stronger on the way, which greatly increased the speed of his boat, and when he reached the left of Wucaoyu, the Qing army had just withdrawn from the island.

Wucaoyu Island is an island directly south of Xiapan Mountain. Due to the characteristics of the Galen ship, Zheng Chenggong simply ordered another trip to the west in line with the principle of not fighting near the shore as much as possible, and was blocked on the way north of Kaha.

The Qing army withdrew from Wucaoyu in a good time according to the accustomed rhythm, and then boarded the ship to form a whole army, and at this time it had just walked out of the four miles.

"These Fujianese people have some ability, but they have stuck the upper hand." At the bow of the Kaha boat, a Zhejiang officer looked at the sea in the distance and said, "But with these fifty warships, hum, our army is against the wind, and destroying them is like killing chickens and slaughtering dogs." ”

Hearing this, Su Li hurriedly looked in the northwest direction, and sure enough, he saw that the elusive enemy ship was waiting for him. He couldn't help frowning, although such a hard supply could have won by numerical superiority in the past, it would definitely lose a lot of warships.

But when he took out the telescope again to take a closer look, he suddenly laughed, "These fools only know how to seize the wind, but they have put on a long snake formation that connects head and tail, God help me!" ”

He then bowed his hand to Kaha and said, "My lord, you can gather our army's big war ships to form a sharp arrow formation and hit the enemy in the middle of the horizontal formation. Then divide the boats into two teams, and lead the small boats from both wings.

"With the thinness of the enemy's formation, the center will be broken by our great ship, and it will be cut into two parts. At this time, the two wings of the boat and the small boat were rushing at this time, forming a left and right encirclement with the Chinese big ship against the enemy. In this way, even if I am against the wind, I can also win! ”

It is not surprising that he can come up with such a tactic, because the previous warships of the Ming Dynasty were all set up with heavy guns in the bow, and the side firepower of the ship was extremely weak.

Therefore, the warships of the Ming Naval Division were facing the enemy with their sides facing each other, which in Suli's eyes was simply self-tied.

According to his inherent cognition, his large warship rushed straight to the side of the opponent with the bow of the ship, that is, it was not shelled, but the impact of the ship could also tear apart the long snake formation of the Ming army.

Then he took advantage of his large number of people to surround the Ming army that was divided, and then whether he used artillery bombardment or jumped to seize the ship, he was left to do whatever he wanted.

It's just that he didn't know that the heavy firepower of the Daming warships using the Galen ship type was matched on both sides of the ship, and several main warships had eleven cannons on each side, and the Shao Wu had seventeen cannons on each side, and the firepower was comparable to the sum of the ten great warships under Gaha. Therefore, what awaits the Jianyu Qiantang Water Division is bound to be a tragedy.

Kaha waved his hand and said, "This battle will be under your command." ”

It seemed to him that 200 ships were invincible against 50 ships, so he handed over the fleet to Sully, and he went back to the cabin to find the two beauties.

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will destroy the thief ship!"

……

"Lord Admiral, really want a decisive battle with the thief army?" Ruan Jin looked at the overwhelming enemy ships in the distance, and couldn't help but ask again.

This was the tenth time he had asked this question. In his opinion, Zhu Chenggong should have deliberately put on a posture to lure Jianyu to come in order to buy time for the brothers in Wucaoyu to escape. Unexpectedly, the two armies were close at hand, but Admiral Zhu still had no intention of retreating.

Zheng Chenggong smiled and said, "General Ruan is patiently watching. ”

"But ......"

Ruan Jin suddenly saw that the enemy ships were divided into three teams, and they were inserted from the left, center, and right straight to this side, and glanced at the long snake formation of the Ming army, and immediately understood the intention of the enemy army, "Lord Admiral, the thief is going to break into our Chinese army in the middle of the cone formation to divide our battle formation, and please change the formation quickly." ”

Zheng Chenggong raised his binoculars and looked at it, turned his head to the herald and said, "Herald, implement the B-word plan." ”

"Yes!"

"Jade case?"

Ruan Jin didn't know what to do, and he wanted to persuade him again, but he saw that the enemy ships had been forced to a mile away, and the heavy artillery on the bows of several large ships began to rumble.

But there was no movement on the side of the Daming Water Master. According to the provisions of the "Naval Drill and Combat Manual", it is forbidden to fire artillery at a distance of 600 paces from the enemy in a large-scale battle.

However, the "windows" on both sides of the sides of the main warships such as the Shaowu and Fuzhou were pushed open one after another, and a cold cannon poked its head out of it.
