The scene of such a large group of ships, sailing at night on the sea, is quite spectacular, more than 200 boats spread out on the sea, occupying several square kilometers of the sea, the sea is full of dotted lights, as if suddenly a prosperous city appeared on the sea, each cluster of lights marks the storage of a boat, slowly advancing on the sea.

As the ship swayed, the lights flickered, as if the stars suddenly fell on the sea, and people couldn't help but sigh after seeing it, and even some of their hearts swayed.

Many people have never seen such a scene, and they all ran to the deck of the ship to watch such a rare scene, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

There are some scholars on the ship, such as staff like Tian Youren, some military clerks or clerks, and staff like Yu Zhigao, when they see such a scene, they inevitably have to chant poems on the boat, and even drink some wine.

Therefore, the tension of the battle, after the night, was relaxed, and only the boat and the upper bucket remained vigilant, not daring to be careless, for fear of the slightest danger of collision.

But just after nightfall, on the sea level, there was a small number of ships, this fleet kept a distance from Yu Zhigao's group, and all the lights were turned off, only on the stern and on the bucket, there was a small lamp, this kind of copper lamp was only open on one side, and the light could only diverge in one direction, and basically it was towards the back of them, so from the side, basically their lights could not be seen.

There are not many ships in this fleet, one by one, not far away, and the fleet is also relatively dense, and the fleet is silent, everyone stands coldly on the side of the ship, looking towards the officer and military fleet dotted in the distance.

After nightfall, the Dutch fleet sailed away from Yu Zhigao's fleet under Waite's orders, because their ships were large in hull and equipped with sails, although they could sail in the wind, but in the state of headwind, they were more difficult to operate, and the sailors had to move back and forth on the mast and adjust the sails, so the amount of labor was much greater than that of the Chinese rigid sails.

Such a slow forward speed made Waite's group of Dutchmen a little helpless, and they barely maintained contact with Yu Zhigao's fleet during the day, but after night, they did not trust the ship handling skills of these Chinese, so they simply sailed away from Yu Zhigao's fleet to avoid collision with these Kron ships.

As a result, after nightfall, Yu Zhigao's fleet lost the escort of the Dutch fleet, and could only continue to sail north in a group.

And at this time, it was also when they were at their weakest, and these dozen unidentified ships appeared on the east side of Yu Shigao's boat group at this time.

Time passed slowly in the dull sound of the waves lapping against the hull of the sea, and the ships on the sea still had to keep rowing a zigzag route on the sea, adjusting the sails to the wind, and moving forward slowly.

Although the scene of the group sailing at night on the sea is very beautiful, but after watching too much, there will be a feeling of aesthetic fatigue, and those who have seen enough finally can't stop the sleepiness, so they go down to the cabin early to find a place to sleep, so only the upper bucket and the handyman and the helmsman and other personnel on the ship are still sticking to the deck, and the whole fleet has begun to quiet.

And at this time, the mysterious fleet that was far parallel to them began to make new moves, and a light lit up on a ship led by this fleet, which flickered rapidly, and only the other ships behind it could see this flickering light.

After the first ship began to flash its lights, the ships that followed it also began to flicker one after another, and when later sailors saw it, they knew that it was a lantern, which was used to transmit signals at night.

As the lights flickered, the fleet, hidden in the night, began to turn and slowly sailed towards the regiment of officers and soldiers on their left.

At this time, the moonlight in the sky was not very bright, and the people in the fleet could only see faintly not too far away, and the sea was full of lights, so that they could only see where there were lights, and they could not find that there was a fleet approaching them.

After about half an hour, the mysterious fleet finally approached Yu Zhigao's fleet, but no one in Yu Zhigao's fleet found their existence.

It was not until this fleet approached Yu Zhigao's group that the fleet began to disband, and one by one the ships broke away from their original formation, began to disperse, and sailed separately into Yu Zhigao's group.

Although there were officers and soldiers fighting on the top, and vaguely, they felt as if a ship was approaching their fleet, but when they looked closely, they didn't find anything unusual.

The ships that approached quickly dispersed into Yu Zhigao's group, but they didn't attract much attention.

"Damn! How did the lantern on that boat go out? Left! Grandma's, they're so close to us! If you keep going, it's time to hit it!

Hi! I mean, the people on that boat, are you fucking blind or are you all fucking asleep? Don't you see your lanterns go out? Hurry up and turn, it's too close! Did you hear that? ”

Suddenly, in the faint light, he saw the shadow of a boat, and the boat was pitch black, not even a lantern was lit, and it was approaching their boat, and it was about to stick to their ship, and it was almost the next moment.

So Shangdou immediately scolded loudly, and at the same time hurriedly beckoned the following wielders and helmsmen to turn the rudder to avoid, and shouted and scolded to remind the approaching boat, so that they should quickly turn the rudder to avoid collision.

But the ship did not react at all, and kept its course, and approached them, and saw that there was not much left from them, and only then began to react, and the ship began to light up with a little fire, and the ship began to adjust its course, and it was almost close to the blessed ship.

The sailors on this lucky ship were shocked into a cold sweat at this time, and hurriedly turned the rudder to avoid it, for fear of bumping into this bastard ship, such a dark night, if they collided with the ship at sea, it would be a big trouble, so the people on their ship suddenly sounded a scolding, but some people still felt that things seemed to be a little bad, because the ship that suddenly appeared next to them seemed a little too weird.

When the ship approached, they found that it was not that there were no lights, but that there was a very strange light on the mast, and there was no flag on the ship, and when they approached them, there was a little fire on the deck of the ship, and one could not help but feel that something was wrong.

Someone rushed to the officer on board, and shouted that the ship should leave their ship at once, and not to come any closer.

But at this time, things began to change unexpectedly, and suddenly there were flaming things flying on the strange ship, and they flew towards the lucky ship of the official army, and at the same time lit more fireheads, and experienced people immediately judged that these were some ignited rockets.

"Enemy attack! Oh no, enemy attack! ...... "The quick-witted officers and men immediately judged what was going on with them, and it turned out that the enemy, taking advantage of the cover of night, had actually blended into their fleet and launched a sneak attack on them.

But before their exclamations could reach the ground, the flying fires smashed down on their decks, and as soon as they landed on their decks, there was a cracking sound of porcelain shards, and almost instantly, the liquid splashed out of them immediately burst into flames, and the fire was very violent.

Some of the officers and soldiers who were caught off guard did not have time to dodge, and their bodies were also splashed with fire, and suddenly their clothes were also set on fire, and they immediately let out a terrible scream.

Before the officers and men of the ship could come to their senses, a cluster of rockets flew towards their ship, nailed to their ship or to the sails, and the arrows of the rockets were wrapped in strips of cloth soaked in grease, and immediately began to burn when they were nailed to the sails.

It was only then that everyone on board was awakened, and someone poured out of the cabin, looking at the fire on the deck in confusion and screaming what had happened.

At this time, such a scene happened one after another in Yu Zhigao's fleet, and this scene appeared in more than a dozen places, and one after another unidentified ships suddenly burst out in the fleet, throwing countless ignited fireballs on the official and military ships next to them, and then causing a fire.

The exclamation immediately spread throughout the entire fleet of ships on the sea, and everyone was immediately stunned, and some people immediately judged that they had been attacked, but in such a night, it was impossible to find the enemy ships that had mixed into their fleet, and the entire fleet of Yu Zhigao began to be confused.

Everyone looked around the ships in a panic, for fear that such enemy ships would also appear next to them, but fortunately, the main fleet led by Yu Zhigao was in the center of the fleet, and the guards were relatively strict, and the enemy ships did not directly rush to the center of their group, but only mixed into the fleets on their periphery, so they did not directly attack the main ships led by Yu Zhigao.

But they still succeeded in causing chaos in the fleet led by Yu Zhigao, and the officers and men who were awakened poured out of the cabin and ran to the deck, their faces full of panic, looking around nervously, and they couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

At this time, seven or eight boats in Yu Zhigao's fleet had been ignited at the same time, and the people on the boats shouted loudly, shouted and cursed, desperately trying to extinguish the fire on the ship, sprinkling sand, sucking water with a pump, or drawing water from the sea, and they were busy in a mess.

(Wow!) Thank you Jenlyx brothers for the tip! Impressed! That's the motivation! Hehe! ）
