The sudden blow overwhelmed the climbing pirates, and the people hanging from the hundreds of ropes were like live targets, the best targets for the Caron Cannon. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info For a while, the pirates fell into a dilemma: continue to go up, eat guns, hang in the middle, and suffer from guns. If you go up, you will die, and if you don't go up, you will die.

The bombardment of the shotguns continued, and in the midst of the screams one after another, the pirates' last bit of false fire disappeared, and they chose to let go of the ropes and jump into the sea, at least soaking in the sea water for the time being.

Although the range of the shotgun barrage was enveloped around the waterline and theoretically did not affect the ship's side and deck, for safety reasons, and seeing that the pirate offensive was about to collapse, the defending sailors were ordered to temporarily stop shooting and take refuge behind the ship's side.

Zheng Zhibao saw that the defeat was inevitable, and the sorrow came from it, he shouted, used his hands and feet together, and climbed to the edge of the side of the boat in three or two strokes, with only one thought in his heart, even if he died in battle, he had to pull Xia Nan, the initiator, on his back.

Maybe God wanted to give Zheng Zhibao a chance, the dense rain-like shotguns crackled and smashed under him, and he was stunned that not a single projectile hit him, plus the pirate who climbed in front of him chose to jump into the sea, and the shooting on the side of the ship stopped, and in desperation, he actually successfully touched the edge of the side of the ship.

Zheng Zhibao was overjoyed in his heart, and with a strong support of both hands, he overturned onto the side of the boat. Under the stunned gaze of the people on the deck, he pulled out the tiger head knife with his backhand, quickly locked on Xia Nan, who was surrounded by the crowd ten steps away, jumped up, raised the knife above his head with both hands, and shouted in his mouth: "Xia thief, suffer death!" ”

With a crisp gunshot, Zheng Zhibao's forehead bloomed with a bloody flower, and under the huge stoppage, his body tossed backwards in the air, slammed heavily on the edge of the boat, and then fell into the sea.

Xia Nan blew the green smoke from the muzzle of the gun, and said disdainfully: "No matter how high the martial arts are, you will be knocked down with one shot." ”

The rest of the people came back to their senses, and William shouted: "Hurry up and hold your position, you can't let people climb up again!" ”

Everyone stood on the side of the ship with guns in fear, and continued to shoot with their guns raised. The attack on the General in front of them was more terrifying than the stray bullets that could have jumped on the deck, and no one could afford to take this responsibility.

The battle has come to an end, Zheng Zhibao was killed, the morale of the pirates plummeted, under the double fire of the bow and behind the ship, the seemingly mighty boarding offensive completely collapsed, leaving only the dense crowd of people in the sea, that is the surviving defeated waiting for the judgment of fate.

Xia Nan ordered in high spirits: "The enemy's tricks have been exhausted, and now is the time for us to counterattack." All warships encircled and annihilated the remnants of Zheng Zhilong's fleet, and the army was ready for landing operations, so be sure to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots! ”

The main fleet, which had always maintained a "battle line" formation to meet the enemy, turned its ship, drew an arc, and sailed westward in a straight line. The huge convoy of transports in the rear also raised their sails and followed behind the battleships.

Waiting on the three-masted gunboat at the mouth of the sea, Zheng Zhilong put down the clairvoyant mirror, covered his chest, and felt a pain in his heart. This is the elite of the Zheng family, a battle-hardened warrior, four or five thousand people, who died under artillery fire like this.

Zheng Zhiguan, Zheng Cai and others on the side were terrified, and persuaded one after another: "Big brother, it's impossible to do anything, let's withdraw to the Zhongzuo Institute, right?" No matter how rampant the Qiongzhou battalion is, it will not dare to blatantly attack the city of the guards......"

Zheng Zhilong's handsome face was very hideous at the moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "Withdraw like this, won't you become a lost dog, how can I, Zheng Zhilong, hold my head up on the rivers and lakes from now on, and Fujian Ocean will not become the world of the Qiongzhou camp?" I'm not reconciled! ”

Zheng Zhiguan thought to himself, the eldest brother is stunned, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and the Zheng family is not without despair, at the beginning, he insisted on accepting the appeasement, and the righteous brother "Eighteen Zhi" turned against him, under the blows of Zhong Bin, Li Kuiqi and others, there were only a few hundred people and a dozen boats left, and they didn't survive in the end? Why can't you put it down after a big business?

Just as he was about to continue to persuade hard, the Qiongzhou battalion fleet in the distance drove over, apparently wanting to take advantage of the victory to pursue and wipe out the Zheng family.

Now everyone is not calm, the gunboats and troop carriers are buried, and now only three flagship-level three-masted gunboats and dozens of small ships are left, which cannot be compared with the defeated fleet just now in terms of firepower and numbers.

Everyone hurriedly persuaded: "Big brother, withdraw, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, take a step back and open the sky!" ”

"The big dragon head, retreat to the city, rely on the city defense, no matter how powerful their gunboats are, they can't help us......"

"Big dragon head, heroes don't suffer immediate losses!"

……

In the midst of the noise, Zheng Zhilong turned a deaf ear, staring bloodshot at the Qiongzhou battalion fleet that was getting closer and closer, eager to blow it to pieces with his own cannon.

The ship turned around, and the most compact Wuxiang-class patrol ship rushed to the front, and the Wuyi-class and Yongle-class battleships fell behind.

Approaching the Zheng family's fleet, the 16 Wuxiang-class patrol ships spread out in fan shapes and opened fire on the small Fu ships surrounding the three-masted gunboats.

"Boom, boom", 30 pounds of solid bullets flew towards these lucky boats, and suddenly the sound of crying father and mother on the boat sounded. These small fortune ships are only loaded with some supplies in battle, carrying some auxiliary personnel, and can be ignited as fire ships if necessary, and they are not the main force of the battle at all, in terms of tonnage and solidity, they are neither as good as the big green head gunboats, nor as good as the medium-sized fortune ships that transport troops.

Under the heavy artillery fire, these lucky ships were either smashed and sunk, or they simply slipped away and withdrew from the battlefield, without the consciousness of being cannon fodder for the main general.

So the three three-masted gunboats directly faced the artillery attack, and the Wuxiang-class patrol ships surrounded the three ships, firing at full power, and the shells poured over like money.

However, these three large gunboats with tonnage comparable to the Wu Yi class were rebuilt by Zheng Zhilong on the basis of the large Fu ship, which was no less robust than the battleships of the Qiongzhou battalion. There were also several Hongyi cannons on the ship, looking at the gap to counterattack, and a few shells actually hit the target, overturning the open-air gun emplacements on the Wuxiang-class deck, and the gunner was killed on the spot.

The younger brother couldn't help the opponent, and the eldest brother and the second brother arrived in time. The huge figures of the Wu Yi and Yongle classes appeared in the east, slowly approaching. The "Guangdong" and "Shandong" bore the brunt of the attack and came to the forefront, ready to deal a fatal blow to Zheng Zhilong.
