Zheng Hongkui didn't guess wrong, but it was not Zheng Cai's reinforcements, but the trap that Zheng Cai and Tagawa Nanazaemon had already prepared.

These thirty or forty warships are a huge decoy, if such a strong strength can still allow Wu Xing to escape smoothly, it can only be said that Tagawa Nanazaemon and Zheng Cai did it on purpose.

Let go of Wu Xing, let Wu Xing smoothly ventilate the news, ask for help from the Fujian sailors, Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui, who got the news, are definitely going to go out to suppress the bandits, this is the property of the Yanhuang company, it is the property of the Ming royal family, once it is robbed, the local officials will be unlucky, and as the Fujian Navy Division responsible for the defense of the southeast coast of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong, the Fujian Navy is the first to bear the brunt, and the pressure is the greatest, the Zheng family has just come out of the matter of Zheng Zhilong and Tian Chuan, and it is the time when it is necessary to show loyalty to the imperial court, not to mention thirty or forty warships, Even in a powerful fleet, the Fujian Navy Division could only go out on a hard march.

Thirty or forty battleships, there is no doubt that they are the battleships that Tagawa Nanazaemon put on the surface, and the other fleet is an ambush hidden in the distance, and even Zheng Cai said that he wanted to meet with Zheng Hongkui, which is a small trick to delay time, waiting for the battleships on the flanks to pounce, so as to flank the Fujian sailors at the first time.

There is no doubt that Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong were all deceived by the illusion created by Tagawa Nanazaemon, and Wu Xing's news made them make a wrong judgment, and only brought forty or fifty warships to the battle, Zheng Hongkui thought that with these warships, he could suppress the main force of the Fujian Navy Division taken away by Zheng Cai.

It's a pity that a wise man thinks a thousand times, and there must be a mistake, and this miscalculation has brought a fatal crisis to the Fujian sailors.

At present, Zheng Cai's fleet is not only the main battleships of the original Fujian Naval Division, but also the main battleships that have just been bought from Nanyang, and the number of guns of these main battleships is more than one-third of the Fujian Naval Division's battleships of the same tonnage, and some of them have even reached half.

Zheng Cai's fleet suddenly launched an attack, taking Zheng Hongkui by surprise, and finally Zheng Hongkui reacted, responded with all his might, and gradually stabilized the battle situation, at this time, Tagawa Nanazaemon led a fleet to rush over again!

Straight into the ribs of the Fujian Navy Division from the southeast direction, although the fleet has only a dozen or so warships, they are all huge main warships, and the speed is extremely fast, rushing straight to the formation of the Fujian Navy Division's fleet, and it has the posture of dividing and encircling the Fujian Navy Division!

Zheng Hongkui was a little panicked, unexpected, absolutely unexpected, I didn't expect that now Tian Chuan and Zheng Cai actually have so many main warships, some of which are even bigger than the handsome ships of the Fujian Navy, there is no doubt that this is a new type of gunboat purchased from the West, Zheng Cai and Tagawa Nanazaemon launched a flanking attack from two directions, the fleet has formed a certain advantage over the Fujian Naval Division in terms of quantity and tonnage, and now it is a two-sided attack, Tian Chuan is outflanked from the rear, but it is going to be a bad dish!

"Herald! The warships of the large battalion on the right flank turned around to deal with the pirate ships in the southeast, and the front army and the large battalion on the left flank wanted to retreat for the time being! ”

Now that the situation is reversed and the situation is unfavorable, where does Zheng Hongkui dare to fight? Once there is a little deviation, then the Fujian Navy Division will be miserable, it is definitely going to suffer a heavy blow, the Fujian Navy Division has just experienced the death of the coach, the general defected, the vitality has not yet recovered, if you are bitten hard by the opponent on the sea, then in a short time, don't think about recovery.

However, at this time, even if the Fujian Navy Division wanted to retreat calmly, there was no chance, Tagawa Nanazaemon's fleet came up too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already reached the flank of the Fujian Navy Division, and immediately launched a fierce attack on the Fujian Navy Division, and it was a close attack!

A shell was thrown at the battleship of the Fujian Navy Division, and landed on the deck one after another, smashing the deck of the warship into a big hole, but these holes will not have much impact, the real fatal is aimed at the side of the warship's waterline and firing the artillery, a shell smashed on the side of the ship, smashing the ship's side, and the sea water poured directly into it, let the sea water pour in, how big the warship has to sink to the bottom of the sea......

When the right-wing battalion received the order and prepared to meet the battle, the opportunity had already been missed, and by the time the right-wing battalion turned the bow of the ship, Tian Chuan had already made a dead hand, and the artillery bombardment did not give the right-wing battalion of the Fujian Navy Division time to deal with it calmly.

The so-called indiscriminate punching to kill the master, although Zheng Hongkui is a fierce general at sea and has rich experience, but this time, he suffered a big loss.

In less than half an hour, seven battleships of the Fujian Navy Division were sunk, eight battleships were damaged and retreated, while the fleets of Tian Chuan and Zheng Cai on the opposite side were only two sunk and four were damaged.

"Raise the flag, immediately order, all the battleships turn around, and urgently retreat in the southwest direction, retreat quickly! Don't be in love! ”

Zheng Hongkui roared angrily, at this time, the Fujian Navy Division suffered heavy losses, more than 40 warships, seven were sunk, eight were heavily damaged, and the combat power declined sharply, and the Tianchuan fleet on the opposite side became more and more courageous, divided and surrounded, and the Fujian Navy Division had no possibility of turning the tide of the war. If you don't run away at this time, if you continue to fight, you may even be surrounded and annihilated by others!

Zheng Hongkui wanted to run, but Tian Chuan didn't want to fulfill Zheng Hongkui's wish, commanding more than a dozen warships under his command, entangled the right wing battalion of the Fujian Navy Division, and provided Zheng Cai's main force with an opportunity to pursue and encircle and annihilate, and wanted to leave all Zheng Hongkui's sailors behind, basically impossible, after all, Zheng Hongkui is also a generation of generals, and the combat power of the Fujian Navy Division is really good.

Hurt his ten fingers, it is better to cut it off, Tian Chuan and Zheng Cai are above the sea, and they are very clear about this truth.

In this way, the warships of the right-wing battalion were targeted by another person, and the artillery was firing recklessly, and dozens of warships surrounded the right-wing battalion, and the continuous onslaught was to kill it.

The right-wing battalion desperately broke through, and finally under the cover of Zheng Hongkui, only three battleships escaped, and all the rest were left in the sea, either sunk by the opponent, or lost the ability to fight, and could only surrender.

Zheng Hongkui fled all the way in a hurry, fled back to Fuzhou from Wenzhou, and brought out three battalions of nearly 50 warships, but only came back less than 30 ships.
