And at this time, where would Zheng Zhilong care about robbing the ship, and all the arson boats in his hands were sent out by him. Of course, Zheng Zhilong wouldn't think about how Gao Yang could let these extremely harmful arson ships get close to the fleet if he sent arson ships in the first wave?

The Zheng family's fleet suffered such heavy losses tonight. If he, Zheng Zhilong, escaped like this, then this battle would almost be a complete loss. The difference is just the length of time. You must know that in Zheng Zhilong's heart, this war has just begun.

If they were to escape like this tonight, it would be almost impossible for the Zheng family to have another chance to turn over. He Zheng Zhilong still has this vision. If you can't inflict heavy damage on the ships of those sailors, then there is not much point in escaping. Therefore, before fleeing for his life, Zheng Zhilong wanted to take a gamble, intending to fight back last Jedi!

Of the sailors who can control the arson ship, which is almost entirely a no-return attack, who is not the most fierce outlaw? Since they were selected, they have been enshrined by the Zheng family. Drinking the best wine, eating the most delicious food, and holding the most beautiful woman!

These brave men don't need to be on the boat on weekdays, and they enjoy everything all day long. And once you use them, it's really going to play with your life!

Dozens of small boats loaded with sulfur, hay, and gunpowder quietly rushed out from both sides of the Zheng family's fleet.

There were only a dozen people on each arsonist ship, but these arsonist boats, which were comparable to the torpedo boats of later generations, were extremely terrifying. Once they were brought to the battleship, the wooden warship would inevitably end in tragedy.

Now there is chaos in the harbor, and all the warships of the navy are staying at their berths, wantonly harvesting the lives of the Zheng family's fleet with the guns on the side of the side, but they have no intention of setting sail at all.

Although it is said that standing still can greatly increase the accuracy of the battleship's shelling, it also loses the battleship's ability to maneuver. Once those arson boats are really brought close, Zheng Zhilong may really be able to turn the tables.

It is not impossible for Zheng Zhilong to rely on the arson boat to turn the tables. It's just that it won't appear when Gao Yang is there. Originally, Gao Yang was using these Zheng family's warships to hone the artillery level of the naval officers and soldiers and improve their morale, how could he give Zheng Zhilong a chance to turn the tables? This is too much to look down on the traverser, right?

Wait until those arson ships bypass the second wave of the Zheng family's fleet, which has already sunk most of them, from both sides. When quickly approaching the naval battleship. The targets of the naval warships immediately turned to them.

Originally hidden behind the clouds, the bright moon had already shown itself when the Zheng family's fleet launched its first attack, spreading the bright moonlight on the sea. The entire battlefield is brightly illuminated.

At this moment, the Zheng family warships that were hit and burned cooperated with the bright moonlight to reflect the figures of these arsonist ships! At this moment, even God is helping the Ming Navy! The fate that has been hanging over Jianyu has finally begun to favor Da Ming!

Under such conditions, even without those high-tech reconnaissance methods in Gao Yang's hands, Zheng Zhilong's arson fleet did not have the slightest possibility of success. The dense artillery fire from the naval warships was enough to destroy all these arsonists in this narrow, maneuverable bay!

The well-textured artillery spewed out fury desperately. Advanced sighting technology and precision-made equipment ensure the hit rate of the shelling. In just a few minutes, dozens of desperate arsonist ships were transformed into huge flamming torches. The flammable materials on the ship were ignited, and the continuous explosions and raging flames could be heard even from dozens of miles away!

Zheng Zhilong fled. He no longer had the courage to continue fighting. The strength of this water division is far beyond his imagination!

More than 100 warships and thousands of men were lost before and after, and they couldn't even touch the edge of others! How can this battle be fought?! Zheng Zhilong had never seen a fleet with such a terrifying firepower density! He. There is no longer the courage to continue fighting.

"Whoosh~~~" The sharp sound from the whistling instantly made Zheng Zhilong's hands and feet cold. That's the sound of cannonballs piercing the sky!

Zheng Zhilong's main fleet was already approaching the mouth of the sea at this moment, and the naval warships on the harbor showed no sign of dispatching at all, and the intensive shelling had gradually stopped. These shells came from the shore!

A huge column of water rises into the sky! Occasionally, there are flying wood chips from several hit ships, chaotic sails, and the severed limbs of those unlucky guys! Although the density of its artillery fire is not as good as that of those terrifying naval warships, a rough estimate of the density of shelling in this wave shows that there are at least hundreds of guns on the shore.

"It's ruthless." Zheng Zhilong could still laugh bitterly at this time. These officers and soldiers had clearly set up powerful batteries on the shore, but they had endured until now when they wanted to retreat. You don't have to think about it to know that the people you sent ashore won't come back.

The artillery fire became more and more intensive, and from the deck you could see the little flashes of light on the hillside on the shore. Zheng Zhilong no longer wants to think about the firing range and huge power of these cannons beyond common sense. He couldn't take care of it anymore.

"I want to keep all my boats." The desolation in Zheng Zhilong's heart became more and more serious. The arrangement of the officers and troops is so tight. Will the remaining ships be able to leave Jiaozhou Bay alive?

Reality soon gave a brutal answer. In the throat sea off the coast of Jiaozhou Bay into the bay, there was a thunderous roar! The burning flame can still be seen even from such a distance! It was as if even the night sky had been illuminated.

Zheng Zhilong trembled and took the clairie mirror handed over by his henchman, swallowed his saliva hard, and looked at the sea area where the Dutch fleet behind his palace was located.

Burning warships. Cannonballs flying like meteors in the night, collapsed ship masts, ruined garbage and sailors jumping into the sea to escape!

"It's over." Zheng Zhilong put down the clairvoyant mirror dejectedly, and finally hung his head in despair and muttered to himself.

He had been worried that such a well-prepared army would cut off his retreat. Wipe out the Zheng family's fleet. I just remembered that the sailors and warships on the intelligence were all firing at the berths, and I still had a trace of luck in my heart. But the scene in front of him now completely shattered the last trace of luxury in his heart. This trap is perfect.

Two squadrons of the Ming Navy, a total of twenty-four sub-warships, quietly returned from the open sea after most of the Zheng family's fleet had entered Jiaozhou Bay. While blocking the escape route of the Zheng family's fleet. A ferocious attack was launched against the Dutch who were in charge of the palace.

This Dutch fleet was the largest naval force that the Dutch East India Company could assemble in a short period of time. Their flagship, the Batavia, is a new warship that has only been in the water for five years. It has a double deck and is equipped with more than sixty guns! This battleship is an almost invincible and powerful presence in the entire South Seas.

But at this moment. The Batavia, flying the Governor's flag, was under the heavy care of the Ming Navy. Four secondary warships of the Ming Navy carried out a terrifying fire on it. The Ming Navy, which far surpassed the Dutch in both range and power, conducted an almost one-sided classic artillery bombardment operation.

The battleship Batavia was hit by more than a dozen shells in a short time, and the mainmast was broken by one. Dozens of crew members were killed in battle. However, because of the long distance, the Batavia's counterattack could not hurt any of the Ming warships. In vain, they can only stir up a column of water on the surface of the sea to fry the fish.

By the time the Ming battleship approached to shoot at close range, the Batavia had lost nearly half of its firepower, and the ship's maneuverability had been greatly reduced. Although the Dutch still put up fierce resistance, and repeatedly hit the Ming warship. However, when besieged by a battleship with several times the firepower of its own, the only end is to turn into a blazing torch!

The cabin of the commander of the Dutch fleet on the Batavia, the Grand Governor Depay, was hit by artillery fire, and the Governor Depay was killed on the spot. The sailors and officers on the entire battleship lost more than two-thirds of the battle in a short period of time!

And when the surviving sailors on the Batavia hoisted a white flag on the last mast in despair, the battleships of the Ming Navy did not stop firing. Instead, it continued to approach the Batavia, and with ferocious firepower, the ship was completely smashed into a dilapidated and burning volcano. Until it sinks completely!

Gao Yang had no intention of accepting the surrender of these professional bandits at sea. These sea coachmen don't know how many Chinese they slaughtered in the Nanyang area, and their ferocious and brutal methods are heinous! And this time, they are even more lawless to run into the Ming Empire naval base to spread wild, and now they have defeated and want to hang a white flag to survive? This kind of good thing is not available here in Gaoyang.

The hit rate of the artillery bombardment in the dark night is not high, and the quality of the Ming Navy is not good, especially when it is far away.

But all this can be overcome. The warships of the Ming Navy are sturdy and fast, and their firepower is even more ferocious. If you can't hit it if it's far away, then lean on it and hit a close-range shelling! The kind of distance between the two warships is no more than 100 meters, open the side gun emplacements facing each other, and engage in a bloody and cruel hand-to-hand artillery battle!

The officers and men of the Ming Navy did not lack courage. In this era of simple folk customs, this empire has the best military resources in the world! All they lack is a chance to show their mettle!

Tough character, hard-working nature. The Chinese nation has been thriving in this ancient land for thousands of years. They fought against fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, and against heaven and earth in the desolate land!

The Chinese people transformed this land into a land suitable for human habitation. They have developed advanced civilizations that are thousands of years ahead of the world. The sinking of such a nation is intolerable. Therefore, Gao Yang is here and comes to this time and space with hope! (To be continued)
