The clouds were overcast, the west wind was blowing, the cannon sound near the two islands was continuous, the firelight was flying, and the ignited battleship was like a huge torch, burning on the sea, but it could not illuminate the smoke that diffused it.

In the blurred light and shadow, there was a sound of killing, and the screams were like a tide, which was thrilling

Zheng Zhilong wanted to cover both sides, but he never thought that the Qin army had more warships than his, and because of his upper hand, Chen Hui had to turn around and flee.

The situation was also strong, and the battlefield was quickly divided into two parts, Zheng Zhilong's one hundred warships against Di Zhongxing's eighty or ninety ships, one side of the battle, the other side facing north, because of the upper hand, Zheng Zhilong had the advantage;

However, due to the smoke of gunpowder and the obstruction of vision, Zheng Zhilong only knew that the Qin army was on the opposite side of the road, but he didn't know that the road was Di Zhongxing, and he thought it was Gu Rong's East China Sea Fleet.

More than 100 light warships led by Liu Zhongqin were like wolves, biting Chen Hui to death, the ships cleaved the waves, flying wave by wave, and the two fleets quickly chased each other;

In addition to Liu Zhongqin's six large gunboats, the other pursuers of Chen Hui were bluff boats, sand boats, eagle boats, Cangshan ships and other light warships, small ships and fast speed, like flying sharks chasing waves, soon killed into Chen Hui's fleet, the two sides twisted together, fighting each other;

Many soldiers of the Zheng army were fascinated by lime, while the Qin army pursued the victory, and their morale was like a rainbow, and on the sea two or three miles wide, the guns were like violent beans, and the shouts of killing were like stormy waves, undulating endlessly.

Rockets flew into the sky, and bullets rained down on the water.

On both sides, warships were set ablaze by rockets, sailors jumped into the water to escape, sparkling like fish on the sea, and some fought desperately to grab a rotten plank.

Pieces of fire on the sea. The floating corpses were like a ping, and the bright red blood stained the sea red.

"Turn the rudder left!" Yu Sanfa was the captain of an eagle ship of the Qin army, and under his command, the eagle ship advanced and retreated like flying, "leaning up, getting closer"

Call! The rockets flying from the enemy ship swept over Yu Sanfa's cheek, igniting a large beard of his beard, and he hurriedly extinguished the burning beard, the burning pain under his jaw made him angry, and pointed at the stern of the enemy ship and shouted, "Quick." Lean up, stammer, prepare for the earth-shaking thunder, hurry! ”

Some of the 30 soldiers on the eagle boat were busy splashing water to extinguish the rockets and fireballs that Zheng Jun had shot at the ship, some were adjusting the sails, some were rocking the oars, and some were squatting on the side of the ship to return fire with muskets;

In front of it is a three-masted ship of Zheng Jun, this is a big guy, and it looks closer and closer. Zheng Jun's rockets are more and more, and the gunfire is getting denser and denser;

Yu Sanfa yelled: "Don't put out the fire, hurry, let's fuck it together" and waited for the two sides to chase each other. Zhang stammered and others lit the earth-shattering thunder and threw it at the enemy ships in a string;

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! A series of explosions blew the stern of the enemy ship into pieces of wood and burst into flames. One by one, Zheng Jun was blown up to the sea, like dumplings.

The earth-shattering thunder is loaded with black powder, and the other party is a three-masted giant ship. Although the stern of the ship was in a mess under the indiscriminate bombardment, it was difficult to cause fatal damage to the hull;

But it doesn't matter, the first round of Shocking Thunder is mainly to kill and injure the soldiers on the enemy ship, so as not to condescendingly kill and injure themselves. There are other magic weapons to deal with enemy ships;

"Smash Molotov cocktails." With Yu San's roar, more than a dozen pimples flew onto the enemy ship, this kind of incendiary bomb was specially developed by the Qin army for naval warfare, the explosion itself will not cause much damage to the enemy, but after the explosion, the fire oil and other mixed flammable materials inside will quickly form a fire.

In an instant, the tail of the enemy ship was ignited, the fire was raging, the heat wave was pressing, and the remaining three rounds threw more than a dozen earth-shattering thunderbolts and incendiary bombs into the middle of the giant ship, and only then began to extinguish the flames that had just been ignited by Zheng Jun's rocket

Zheng Jun also has a method of fire attack, but they are all traditional rockets, fireballs, fire bricks and other things, these things form a fire at a relatively slow speed, easy to extinguish, and it is difficult to compare with the incendiary bombs just developed by the Qin army.

On the sea within a radius of two or three miles, there were seven or eight warships of the Qin army that were set on fire, but as many as twenty of the Zheng army were set on fire, and there were fires everywhere, which made people sweat profusely, and even their beards and eyebrows were curled up.

The Qin army was unforgiving, taking advantage of the fact that many people in the Zheng army were blinded by lime and could not participate in the war for a while, they often attacked left and right, as fierce as wolves, thunder and incendiary bombs, and smashed them without money, so that Zheng Jun suffered heavy losses, and the corpses were floating on the sea, and the blood flowed and drifted.

In the past, the battle was basically to rush to the enemy ship, see the red with the white blade, and fight with the sword, if it was still like this, the Qin army would definitely not be able to fight the Zheng army, these outlaws who had been adrift at sea for many years.

But the Qin army's fighting style has completely changed, there is no hand-to-hand combat between white-knives, and as soon as the warships on both sides approach to within a few zhang, a large series of earth-shattering thunder and incendiary bombs will immediately smash over, like hail. Everywhere there were fierce explosions, more intense than artillery battles at long distances.

Chen Hui has been mixed at sea for half his life, and it is the first time he has seen such a broadside battle.

The small warships of the Qin army are like sea wolves, infesting the smoke and waves, even more ferocious than wolves;

Once they approached within a few feet, Zheng Jun's battleship was almost inevitably blown up to the point that the cabin collapsed, and the planks flew one after another, and then they were quickly ignited, forming huge torches that shone straight into the sky

In this case, Chen Hui had no choice but to flee desperately, and only by opening up the distance could he have a chance to fight with the Qin army.

In the past, Zheng Jun fought several battles with the Dutch, and the battle was not about the interests of artillery, but about the number of people and ships; For example, in the Battle of Liaoluo Bay, Zheng Jun dispatched 150 warships, only 50 were gunboats, and the remaining 100 small boats were all fireboats.

At most, Europeans used only a few fireboats, and even the Dutch, who were popular in Europe, never encountered such an overwhelming swarm of fireboats. Several of their huge ships were besieged by more than a hundred fireships, and their defeat was inevitable.

But now Chen Hui has sixty or seventy ships, and Liu Zhongqin has hundreds, which is already more than him, and they are the ones who are besieged, and even if they have fireships, they can't use them;

The Qin army used new weapons such as earth-shattering thunder and incendiary bombs in naval battles, which caught Zheng Jun off guard, and the two sides were still six or seven zhang away, so they smashed over all over the world, blowing you up on your back, and didn't give you a chance to hook up at all.

Escape, only escape!

Chen Hui commanded the Zheng warships to rush left and right, hoping to escape from the Qin army's entanglement, even a few guns have lost their usefulness, the two sides have been entangled, the gunboats are huge, and it is difficult to turn, and when you cross the hull, it is estimated that the Qin army has bitten up;

In addition, the sea is full of gunsmoke, and the line of sight is not good, and if you can't fire the cannon, it will hit your own little friend.

The war drums rumbled, the morale of the Qin army was like a rainbow, the shouts were like a tide, the battleship was chasing with the wind and waves, and the two sides were entangled like this, flying southward, the guns around were like rain, the explosions were continuous, and the battleships of the Zheng army were constantly being caught up, and then quickly hidden in the fierce wolves.

Chen Hui has been escaping for seven or eight miles, and still can't get rid of the pursuit of the Qin army, of the original seventy warships, only about thirty remained, and more than half of them were lost;

Just when he was desperate, he suddenly saw a huge fleet cutting diagonally from the southwest to the south, and seeing the Zheng character flag on the opponent's mast, Chen Hui couldn't help but be ecstatic: Zheng Cai They have arrived, and they are finally here!

It was indeed Zheng Cai who arrived, and he had more than 70 gunboats, and more than 300 other light Cangshan boats, red dragon boats, and eagle boats. Cut diagonally from the southwest to the northeast, the rows of guns on the port side turned the firing angle to the maximum;

As Zheng Cai's flagship fired first, the gunboats lined up followed suit, and the projectiles flew like rain, passing over Chen Hui's ship and smashing down fiercely at the Qin army chasing behind;

Although the distance between the two sides was one mile, two or three hundred projectiles were fired wildly at a time, like a violent storm, and there was no need to talk about shooting accuracy at all, and a few projectiles always hit the target when they were smashed indiscriminately;

Boom! Boom! Boom! The three loud noises continued, and one sand boat and two bluffing boats of the Qin army were directly hit by the hull, among which the sand boat with a relatively shallow draft was smashed horizontally, and the bow of the ship was shattered, and the inverted sea water instantly made the tail of the sand boat warp;

The other two ships that were hit were not much better, and the heavy projectiles were so powerful that they smashed the planks and caused serious damage to the hull.

Zheng Jun destroyed Liu Zhongqin's three ships with a round of volleys, and then the roar continued, Zheng Jun's naval guns were still roaring, and the projectiles were constantly raining down, whistling, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse

PS: Yesterday I occasionally heard my mother mention "tomorrow's holiday", I thought it was June 6, and I didn't pay much attention to it. In my hometown, there are festivals every month, the second day of February, the third day of March, the eighth day of April, the fifth day of May, the sixth day of June, and the fourteenth day of July. I also think of Sun Wukong's time in Zhongshan: there is no sun and moon in Zhongshan, and the cold and summer do not know the year.

Every day, I desperately coded words, and I didn't even raise my head, and before I knew it, I was abandoned by time, and I was out of touch with the whole world. I'm not on earth, I'm not in heaven, I'm in the code word, time flies, I'm still in the code word. I'm nothing but codewords, well, brothers, give me a monthly pass, let me prove that I'm still alive
