Chapter 527: The Battle of the East China Sea (8)

***

Zheng Cai received a summons from Hong Xu and learned that nearly 100 Qin warships reinforced the north of the Twin Islands, Zheng Cai was worried that Zheng Zhilong would lose, and hurriedly asked Gan Hui to lead another 100 large and small warships to support Zheng Zhilong.

At this time, the northwest wind was blowing, and Gan Hui sailed from south to north against the wind, and the speed was slow, which made him anxious.

When he finally arrived to the north of the Twin Islands, he saw thick smoke billowing from the sea, and warships were floating on the sea, like huge torches, burning brightly.

The water was littered with floating planks and corpses, stirring with the waves;

In the vast smoke of gunpowder, the sound of explosions and shouts of killing are like huge waves, wave after wave of head-on attacks, the most terrifying thing is that the cheers of "capture Zheng Zhilong alive" have resounded in the ears of Zheng Jun who came to reinforce, which is terrifying

Through the smoke of gunpowder, it can be seen that many Zheng Jun ships have lowered their sails, which shows that they have surrendered. The remaining twenty or thirty ships were fleeing south in a panic;

The warships of the Qin army are like countless sea wolves, chasing the remnants of the Zheng warships and constantly neighing, constantly covering and killing; Zheng warships were constantly being overtaken;

Whenever they were overtaken, a violent explosion was soon heard on the deck. One ship after another was lifted into the sky, and the soldiers on the ship were blown to pieces, flying in the air, miserable;

The raging flames spread rapidly, and the huge fire soon engulfed everything, and the sea seemed to be roasted to a boil.

The cheers of "capture Zheng Zhilong alive" rose higher and higher, shocking Gan Hui and his soldiers with cold hands and feet, and Ping Guogong was captured alive? Ping Guogong was captured alive?

How is this possible, how can it be defeated so quickly and so miserably?

Look at the tragic scene in front of you, among the twenty or thirty wrecked ships of the Zheng army that fled south, there was no Zheng Zhilong's five-masted giant ship at all, so where was Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the three armies?

A series of questions filled the hearts of Gan Hui and others. That sense of foreboding, the soldiers of the Zheng army were in a panic.

"Turn the rudder left, go west, go west" Gan Hui, who came back to his senses, ordered loudly, and hundreds of warships that came to help began to turn the rudder to the west;

The twenty or thirty Zheng ships that fled south were tightly bitten by the Qin army, and the Qin army deliberately did not bomb them, but forced them into the middle of the Gan Hui fleet like a sheep; The small ships of the Qin army were mixed among these deserters, and they followed the wind and quickly killed Gan Hui.

"General Gan, you can't open the cannon. Can't open the cannon" The gunner asked Gan Hui in a panic, firing the cannon, it may accidentally injure the fleeing friendly soldiers, and if the cannon is not fired, the Qin army will take advantage of the situation to kill

Rumble! Boom!

Before Gan Hui could make a difficult decision, the front main guns of the Qin army had already roared, huge projectiles roared, and an unlucky Cangshan ship was smashed into the stern;

Disheveled! With a bang, the stern of the ship was shattered. The entire bow of the ship seemed to be held up by a huge force, and it instantly warped, and Zheng Jun on the deck was caught off guard and fell into a ball. Screaming and screaming.

"General Gan, let's shoot!"

"What if the prince of Ping Guo is on the ship opposite?" It's not impossible, in case Zheng Zhilong's flagship is destroyed, it is possible to transfer to another warship.

Shoot at Zheng Zhilong. Who can afford the consequences?

Smoke drifted up from the sea, blurring the vision, making it difficult to see a hundred paces away.

Suddenly. Some soldiers saw some small and long strange ships, flying against the surface of the sea in the smoke of gunpowder, the speed was so fast that it made people's scalps tingle, and before they could react, they heard "Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Three sounds, three piercing tail flames shot straight towards Gan Hui's flagship

Rumble! Boom!

Gan Hui's flagship was ten zhang long and as tall as a building was instantly lifted into the plane by the fierce explosion, and the building was completely destroyed, and the entire hull was shaken by a strong shock wave and floated out five feet, and the fire caused by the explosion rolled up, blooming three dazzling mushroom clouds, and the severed limbs and arms that were blown off even flew to other warships

"General Gan!"

"Oh my God!"

"What is this?"

"Oh my God, run away!"

As soon as it came into contact, the flagship was blown into a huge fireball, the commander did not know whether he was alive or dead, the Qin army came in the wind and waves, cheering like a tide, the sound of killing shook the sky, the Zheng army was so frightened that the whole army collapsed, and hundreds of warships did not fire a single shot, scattered and fled in a mess;

It's hard to believe in this scene, they are Zheng Jiajun who have been rampant in the East China Sea for many years, and this is clearly a group of frightened rabble.

The defeat is like a mountain, it's really true, the Zheng army fled in a panic, you turn to the east, I turn to the south, and they are all in a hurry to escape from the attack range of the Qin army;

Hundreds of warships lost their command and fell into a great chaos, many of which collided with each other, and after the loud bang, there was the sound of the cracking of the warship;

The soldiers were yelling at each other, howling, hysterical, and the great panic had made most of them lose their minds.

The Qin army carried the power of the great victory, set sail to chase and kill, all the way to the south, the explosions on the sea surface one after another, made the sea water boiling, thick smoke, wind and clouds, shouts, cheers, screams, intertwined like a tide, the sound spread for more than ten miles.

"Zheng Jun is defeated!"

"Kill!"

"Zheng Zhilong was captured alive, and Zheng Jun was defeated!"

"Haha

The joyful shouts, the roars to the fullest, and the rough laughter made Zheng Jun more flustered at the same time, but also made the morale of the Qin army soar

Zheng Zhilong's five-masted giant ship raised the black banner of the Qin army and also headed south with the wind.

In the cabin on the upper floor, Zheng Zhilong's hands were tied behind his back, and watching the defeated Zheng Jun scatter and flee, his eyes were full of despair:

The Zheng family army is over, the Zheng family army that is rampant in the East China Sea has worked hard for half a lifetime, and the Zheng family sailors, who originally thought they were invincible in the world, are over like this.

Zheng Zhilong could hardly believe his eyes, he couldn't believe that everything he saw was true, the beard under his chin trembled slightly, and his hands and feet were cold.

I thought that the Qin Army's sailors were vulnerable, but when he came, not only were Zheng Jun's ordinary soldiers, but even he, the commander, didn't take the Qin Army's sailors too seriously. thought that on this sea, it would be easy to defeat the Qin army.

But now, it was Zheng Jun who could not be defeated.

Zheng Jun, who was once invincible, after suffering a fiasco, completely turned into a headless fly and fled in all directions, Zheng Zhilong never dreamed that such a scene would appear on Zheng Jiajun.

Beside Zheng Zhilong, stood the high-spirited Zheng Sihai, although they were all surnamed Zheng. It's a pity that he is not from the Zheng family in Fujian, "Quick, full sail!" Catch up"

Zheng Sihai kept shouting, his voice with a slight trilling voice because of excessive excitement. Who would have thought that one day he would be able to hold Zheng Zhilong and command his flagship to hunt down the invincible Zheng family sailors?

Li Qian, the commander of the North Sea Fleet, stroked his messy beard, and they had been pressed and beaten by Zheng Zhilong before. I was so embarrassed that my beard, which had been neatly combed in the past, was also messed up.

"Zheng Zhilong, as long as you order Zheng Cai to surrender, you will be guilty of meritorious service. There is still a chance to live, and my king rules the world with benevolence and righteousness, and if you are truly obedient, it is not too late. At least the lives of the Zheng family, young and old, can be guaranteed. This official heard that our king praised Ling Lang Zheng Sen to others, saying that Ling Lang has the talent of a general. ”

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but ask, "King Qin really praised the dog?" ”

"It's true. Zheng Zhilong, for your life, and for the sake of the Zheng family, think about it, if you are sincere and obedient, with King Qin's common sense of Ling Lang, the Zheng family may not be able to carry forward in Ling Lang's generation in the future and become the pillar of the country. This is the Zheng family's most difficult opportunity. ”

Zheng Zhilong's face changed after hearing this, from the moment he was captured alive, Zheng Jun's defeat was decided, what leverage did he have to fight with Qin Mu? With the combat power of the Qin army's naval division, even if the Zheng family retreats to the island of Taiwan, sooner or later it will not be able to be saved.

Moreover, with this big defeat, how many people are still willing to retreat to the island of Taiwan with the Zheng family?

"Master Li, how do you make me believe you?" Zheng Zhilong asked with a calm face, in fact, he was very nervous in his heart.

Li Qian glanced at him and said, "Do you have a choice?" You can only believe. Besides, the original Dashun Army has been an enemy of my Great Qin, and the Great Western Army has also been an enemy of my Great Qin, as long as you are sincere and obedient, who do you think the King of Qin has treated badly? My king is the lord of the world, if the Zheng family descends, it will be my people of Great Qin, how can my king lose faith in the world for your Zheng family? ”

Zheng Zhilong's throat swayed up and down, and he struggled fiercely in his heart, "Lord Li, if I let Zheng Cai surrender, will King Qin really treat my Zheng family well?" ”

"This official can guarantee this."

"What if I let Fujian join Daqin?"

"Brother Zheng can not only save his life, but also get an official and a half-job, as well as Ling Lang and others, they must be less and will not be given an official title, but it is not a secret, what kind of official position will my king give at that time, this official does not know, this official can only guarantee that there will be an official position."

Zheng Zhilong actually didn't have much choice, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I ordered Zheng Cai to surrender, hoping that King Qin can keep his word." ”

"Lord Zheng, don't worry, in the current situation, the defeat of your Zheng family's sailor has been decided, and there is no need for us to deceive you anymore."

The sound of killing in front was still heard, the Qin army cheered like thunder, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the warships flying downwind were like wolves on the sea, hunting those Zheng army ships that fled;

The Zheng army who could not escape surrendered one after another, and those who were unwilling to surrender were caught up by the Qin army is raindrops of earth-shattering thunder and smashed it Well, Di Zhongxing has banned the use of incendiary bombs, and the boat is very precious and must be kept.

The war drums rumbled, the cheers shook the sky, the Zheng army had collapsed, and the victory belonged to the Great Qin Royal Navy, although the battle was not over, the faces of the young soldiers were already filled with the joy of victory and the belief that they would win

In order to avoid greater casualties on both sides, after Zheng Zhilong agreed to surrender, Li Qian immediately asked people to escort him, get on a speedboat, plant his "Zheng" handsome flag, and rush forward, the purpose, to persuade him to surrender!
