"Kill!"

The three teams of Zheng Family Iron Man soldiers quickly killed some of the red-haired ghost musketeers closest to them, and the sharp long knives instantly pierced the opponent's body, leaving a miserable scream.

These red-haired ghost musketeers, in addition to holding muskets, wore military uniforms made entirely of cotton, which also played a role in keeping out the cold, and they couldn't resist the blades at all.

Because of the development of Western firearms, the Western armies of this era have long started firearms wars, which rarely appear on the battlefield, and cold weapons are killed.

As a result, the Western soldiers no longer wore the iron armor they used to wear, because it was completely unnecessary, and they didn't fight in close quarters anyway.

As a result, the musketeer, who was a red-haired ghost, was reduced to a one-sided massacre after being approached by the Zheng family's ironmen.

These red-haired musketeers don't have a chance to reload their ammunition at all.

Bang bang bang!

However, soon the gunshots rang out, and some of the red-haired ghost musketeers who had completed the ammunition reloading in advance shot at the Zheng family ironmen.

But this kind of Zheng family ironman team will only give them a chance to shoot.

After a few Iron Men have fallen, the other Iron Men behind them will rush over as fast as they can, slashing the Red-Haired Ghost Musketeers who try to reload their ammunition.

Suddenly, the deck of the 'Sea Pioneer' was completely in chaos, with scattered gunshots and more screams from the red-haired ghost soldiers.

"What are you doing? Shoot now! ”

At this time, Bruce rushed out of the command room, stood on the ship's floor, and yelled at the dozens of musketeers on the ship's floor.

The red-haired ghost musketeers on the ship of the 'Sea Pioneers' may be the only musketeers who have not been attacked by the Zheng Family Iron Man for the time being.

But at this time, there were already more than a dozen Zheng family ironmen rushing towards the stairs of the shipbuilding, trying to kill the shipbuilding.

Bang bang bang!

The more than forty red-haired ghost musketeers on the ship's floor immediately opened fire, knocking down the dozen or so Zheng family musketeers who tried to rush up.

"Shoot me at the enemy below." Bruce was in a hurry and yelled.

"Commander, the enemy on the deck and our soldiers are mixed together, the distance is too close, and shooting will injure your own people by mistake."

The musketeer commanding officer next to him said to Bruce with an embarrassed face, and it was for this reason that he had been slow to let the musketeers on the ship's floor shoot.

Hearing the officer's words, Bruce grabbed him by the collar, pulled him to himself, and roared, "Open your dog's eyes and see."

If this continues, our soldiers on the deck will be killed by the other side, and at this time, even if you accidentally injure your own people, you have to open fire and kill all these enemies who rushed to the ship, quickly! ”

In the end, Bruce slammed the red-haired officer away, his face flushed, and his eyes were murderous, like a raging lion, frightening the officer.

"Yes, General. All obey orders, aim at the enemy, shoot, fire. The officer immediately gave the order.

Bang bang bang!

Immediately, more than forty red-haired ghost musketeers on the ship's floor immediately shot at the Zheng family's ironmen who were frantically slaughtering red-haired ghost musketeers on the deck.

These soldiers of the Zheng family's iron team, although they are well-dressed in armor, still can't prevent the projectiles fired at such a close distance.

Puff puff!

There are constantly Zheng family ironman soldiers who are shot and fall, and there are also a small number of red-haired ghost soldiers who were accidentally injured and shot, but more people are still shot by the Zheng family ironman.

After all, at such a close range, with the help of flintlock muskets, these red-haired ghost musketeers have a very low probability of missing with their skillful shooting skills.

With the counterattack of the red-haired ghost musketeers on the ship, the 100 Zheng family ironmen who boarded the ship encountered a huge crisis.

The red-haired ghost musketeers on the ship's floor, each round of firing took the lives of more than a dozen Zheng family ironman soldiers.

More than 20 soldiers of the Zheng family ironman team tried to rush to the ship, but all failed, and the result of failure was to be shot.

However, at this time, the Zheng family musketeers on the 'Zheng San' also shot at the red-haired ghost musketeers in the 'Sea Pioneers' shipbuilding to provide cover for the Iron Man soldiers.

Soon, with shouts of killing, gunfire and screams, the deck of the red-haired ghost's 'Sea Pioneer' was already lying with corpses, stacked on top of each other, and blood stained the deck red, and then flowed into the sea.

Bang!

At this moment, with two loud bangs, the hull of the red-haired ghost's 'Sea Pioneer' shook, and their two 64-pounder guns fired their fourth shot since the start of the battle with the 'Zheng San'.

And this time, Lady Luck failed to continue to stand on the side of the Zheng family, and this time one of the two giant cannonballs directly smashed the keel of the 'Zheng San'.

As soon as the keel is broken, the ship is finished.

Squeak, squeak!

Suddenly, the hull of the 'Zheng San' warship quickly twisted, a large amount of seawater poured into the cabin, and the hull began to break apart from the middle.

"Damn, the keel was hit."

When the hull of the warship broke, Shi Daxuan's face became extremely ugly, and he immediately guessed the reason.

Originally, the 'Zheng San' warship, with the help of a wooden board hook, dragged the red-haired ghost's 'Sea Pioneer', making it impossible to speed away.

In addition to sending the 100 Iron Man soldiers as the vanguard, Shi Daxuan also planned to continue to invest troops on the 'Sea Pioneer'.

Perhaps, in this way, it is really possible for Shi Daxuan to gain control of the 'Sea Pioneers' and defeat them.

However, with this round of firing from the red-haired ghost artillery, a giant cannonball smashed the keel of the 'Zheng San', completely frustrating Shi Daxuan's purpose.

Peng!

As the keel broke, the hull of the 'Zheng San' three-masted gunboat began to break, and the 'Sea Pioneer', which had been speeding up, immediately broke free from the shackles of the 'Zheng San' and broke away.

And with the separation of the two warships, the last twenty or so Iron Man soldiers who remained on the deck of the 'Sea Pioneers' for bloody battles were also completely cut off from the back road and had no reinforcements.

Death awaited them, but they remained undaunted, screaming in the final moments of their lives, trying to kill more red-haired ghost musketeers.

Bang bang bang!

With the last burst of gunfire, the last few Iron Man soldiers on the deck of the 'Sea Pioneers' also fell in a pool of blood.

Finally, the red-haired ghost musketeers were killed, and all the Zheng family soldiers who boarded the deck, and at this time, they had already sailed hundreds of meters away from the 'Zheng San'.

When Bruce looked at the 'Zheng San' behind him, he found that the entire 'Zheng San' had broken into two and was slowly sinking.

And the boat is putting down small boats, escorting several teams of people up, but more Zheng family sailors are still struggling in the sea.

The sea temperature in early spring is still very cold, these Zheng family soldiers are shivering in the sea water, and if they are not rescued in time, they will freeze to death.

Moreover, when the 'Zheng San' sinks to the bottom of the sea, a small whirlpool will be formed, and the sailors who are caught in the whirlpool will die in the sea with the warship.

At this time, Bruce looked through his glasses and saw a well-armored Zheng family general boarding a small boat under the protection of several guards.

"Helmsman, turn around!"

Bruce immediately ran back to the command room and shouted at the helmsman.

His target was Shi Daxuan, and it was obvious that Bruce recognized Shi Daxuan as the commander of the Zheng family's fleet.

"Commander, look!"

Suddenly, a red-haired ghost officer shouted at Bruce, pointing his finger behind him.

As soon as Bruce turned his head, he found that black dots appeared on the sea in the distance behind him, which immediately made him feel a sigh in his heart.

With so many years of experience at sea, Bruce doesn't have to guess to know that most of those moving black spots are ships.

And at this time, who would have so many ships rushing towards their battlefield, the result is self-evident.

Sure enough, as Bruce raised his glasses, he soon saw the Zheng family's warships appearing on the sea to the north and northwest of them.

"Damn, the Zheng family's support fleet is coming, helmsman, don't turn around, sail west at full speed, and then go southwest.

Then order all the fleets to immediately retreat in a southwesterly direction. ”

At this moment, Bruce was also a little panicked, and decisively gave the order to retreat.

The Zheng family is just a fleet of more than 50 ships, and they haven't gnawed it yet, although they have the advantage, there are still many Zheng family warships, struggling to resist.

And now, they are finally waiting for their reinforcements to arrive, and the red-haired ghost's fleet is even less likely to win, and at this time Bruce has no choice but to flee for his life.

Fortunately, the two fleets of the Zheng family, which appeared in the northwest and due north directions, wanted to rush over, it would take at least some time, and this time was their last chance to evacuate.

As Bruce's order to retreat was given, soon all the captains of the red-haired ghost battleships received the news that they had also discovered the huge fleet that had appeared in the north.

Then, they ordered the warships to turn around, get out of the battle with the Zheng family's fleet, and quickly withdraw.

At this moment, Bruce no longer thought about it, and went to catch Shi Daxuan alive, everything was mainly about escaping.

But at this time, when he saw that his own reinforcements arrived, there were still more than 20 Zheng family warships left, how could he easily let the red-haired ghost's fleet leave.

These Zheng family warships began to do everything they could to delay staying in the red-haired ghost warship closest to them.

"Quick, the whole fleet sped up, and the red-haired ghost's fleet wanted to escape. Don't let Bruce, the old devil, run away this time. ”

In the distance, Zheng Hongkui stood on a three-masted gunboat, looking at the red-haired ghost warships that were preparing to evacuate with a clairvoyant mirror, and ordered eagerly.

"Damn, be faster, don't let these red-haired ghost warships escape!"

In the other direction, Zheng Zhibao, who almost rushed back with Zheng Hongkui, also urged desperately at this time.

And here, Shi Daxuan and many other Zheng family sailors who fell into the water have also been rescued by the three-masted gunboat commanded by Zheng Hai in time.

Previously, the red-haired ghost's other big ship, 'Makto', who was responsible for blocking Zheng Hai's three-masted gunboat, also chose to evacuate as soon as he found out that the Zheng family's reinforcement fleet appeared in the north.

"Damn, that old devil from Bruce is running so fast."

When Zheng Hai rescued Shi Daxuan and the others, he found that the 'Sea Pioneer' where Bruce was, as well as the 'Makto' and other red-haired ghost ships, were desperately sailing in the southwest direction at this time.

Moreover, at this time, it has opened a lot of distance from them, they are sailing at full speed, and the speed of the ship is still extremely fast, even if Zheng Hai wants to intercept it at this time, he can't do it.

"Forget it, we can't catch up with them anymore, Zheng Hai, we have to stop the rest of the red-haired ghost's other warships, as long as we eliminate the main force of the red-haired ghost's fleet.

Even if the old devil of Bruce escaped with his big ship, he would not be able to make a sound alone in the future, and he would not be able to turn over the big waves. ”

At this time, Shi Daxuan still maintained his sanity and ordered Zheng Hai.

"Yes."

Immediately, Zheng Hai listened to Shi Daxuan's order and made every effort to intercept the other red-haired ghost fleets behind him, buying time for the two fleets of Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Zhibao who were about to rush over from the north.

The naval battle that took place in the sea area of Dongjiyu was basically decided by this time.

In the battle that followed, the red-haired ghost fleet that could not escape, although there were still some warships struggling.

But he was unable to return to the sky, and was either sunk by the Zheng family's reinforcement fleet that rushed in, or was captured.

As the two brothers of the Zheng family led the fleet back in time to support, it was regarded as turning the tide of the battle for the Zheng family and finally winning the naval battle.

And in the end, the Red Haired Devil's Far East Fleet, in addition to Bruce leading the 'Sea Trailblazer', as well as 'Makto', and two other large ships fled.

The rest of the red-haired ghost warships were either sunk or captured by the Zheng family's fleet.

In this battle, the Zheng family's fleet was sunk and 37 warships were destroyed, most of which belonged to Shi Daxuan's fleet, including Shi Daxuan's 'Zheng San' flagship.

This is also the first time that a three-masted gunboat was sunk by the enemy in a naval battle since the Zheng family dominated the southeast waters of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, with more than 2,000 casualties.

On the side of the red-haired ghost fleet, twenty-five warships were sunk and destroyed, and the remaining eleven warships were captured by the Zheng family fleet.

In the end, the number of casualties of the red-haired ghosts was about 500, and more than 700 people were captured.

With the end of the Battle of Dongjiyu, the main force of the Red Haired Ghost Far East Fleet was completely destroyed, and the whereabouts of the four large ships that escaped were also unknown.

Although Zheng Hongkui sent a warship to chase after the 'Sea Pioneer' in the direction of evacuation, he still chased it after dark.

Although this made Zheng Hongkui very regretful, the result of this battle had already made him very satisfied, and they rushed back in time.

The four red-haired ghost ships of Bruce who escaped, although they still have a certain threat, they no longer have the ability to threaten the Zheng family's port and fleet.

Moreover, Zheng Hongkui immediately sent Zheng Zhibao to lead a detachment to the south.

He believed that as long as Bruce's four warships appeared in the southern seas, the warships that the Zheng family had left over there would definitely find them, and he might not be able to escape.

Even if the old devil escapes in the end, the Zheng family doesn't care, now they have completely obtained this time, the war against the red-haired ghost, Ryukyu is in hand.

As for the red-haired ghost Anping Castle who is still resisting, the trapped beast is still fighting, and it is a matter of time before it is destroyed.
