"My lord, it's not good, it's not good, the side chord behind us was hit by a shell from the Ming army, and three big holes were blown up, and a large amount of seawater poured in, and this flagship is afraid that it will not last long and will sink to the bottom of the sea!"

A sailor staggered over and said in a trembling voice.

"What?"

Zheng Cai was taken aback and shouted: "Bastard, the boat was blown out of a big hole, won't you hurry up and plug it?" Just go! ”

"I can't stop it......"

The sailor replied in a bitter voice: "My lord, the side of the ship was hit by the flowering cannon, and as soon as the flowering cannon exploded, the big hole that blew out the side of the ship was the size of a grinding disc, and we couldn't block it at all, even if it was sealed with a wooden plank, it was directly crushed by the seawater......

Zheng Cai felt dizzy in his head, this time it's bad, if it is an ordinary cannonball smashed down, at most it will be to smash the side of the ship or smash a small hole, I didn't expect the power of the flowering bomb to be so great, it will blow up the side of the ship at once, such a big hole, it won't take long for the sea water to fill the cabin!

"Immediately raise the flag, let the main battleships on both sides come over, we still have so many muskets and ammunition, it doesn't matter if the battleship sinks, this ammunition must not be lost!"

Zheng Cai shouted.

The warship is broken, the Zheng family can build it directly in Dongying, and even the red-coated artillery, the Zheng family can't make it, but these things can be made does not mean that the flintlock musket can be made, the craftsmanship of this flintlock musket is too powerful, there are few countries in the West that have mastered it, and there is no such mature flintlock musket technology as the Ming Dynasty, of course, Zheng Cai is reluctant to throw away these muskets.

The two warships on both sides quickly approached, but if they wanted to exchange the arms for another warship, at least the Imperial Navy had to give them such time, the problem was that Shi Lang would definitely not leave them such a chance!

The three main battleships are cleaving the waves, getting closer and closer, and there are more than ten tigers eyeing at the back, these are not the most fatal, the most fatal thing is that on both sides, the main battleships of the Chinese army camp have begun to move forward towards the east, once Zheng Cai's fleet slows down, it will definitely be surrounded again.

"General Zheng, it's too late, it's too late, let's go! It's important to save your life! ”

Zheng Cai was about to command the soldiers to transfer the arms, but Williams on the side hurriedly shouted, "If the life is gone, everything will be in vain, go quickly!" ”

Williams didn't wait for Zheng Cai's reaction, and jumped to the main warship on the opposite side by means of a sampan.

"Yes, my lord, if we don't abandon the ship now, even if we can bring down these weapons and other warships, I am afraid that we will not escape death, there are fleets of the Ming Dynasty in both directions and north and south, and they are outflanking us from both directions, and if we don't give up the handsome ships, our entire fleet will be annihilated on the sea!"

On the side, the guerrilla general Chen Biluo shouted urgently.

Zheng Cai shouted: "Nonsense! There are thousands of flintlock muskets on the handsome ship, and we are all counting on these muskets to live, without these muskets, how can we resist the attack of the Ming army? ”

Chen Biluo persuaded each other hard and shouted: "My lord, even if we can talk about moving these guns over, but if the whole army is wiped out here, it will not help, if you abandon the ship now, at least the arms placed on the Canglong can still hope to reach Dongying safely!" ”

Zheng Cai woke up suddenly, yes, instead of confessing all of them here, it is better to keep some of the muskets, anyway, what is lost is the things of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not damaged by himself!

"Dog's day, fight, give me the order, give me all the gunpowder, sulfur, etc. on the handsome ship, all ignite, give up the handsome ship and retreat immediately, and retreat with all your might!"

Zheng Cai roared angrily.

One by one, the sailors jumped directly from the handsome ship to the main battleship on the side, and a cluster of flames soared into the air on the handsome ship, and the flames soared into the sky, obviously, the water below was being poured on a large scale, and the flames were soaring above, Zheng Cai's handsome ship was completely abandoned, and it was impossible to keep it.

Zheng Cai's distressed heart was dripping blood, the handsome ship that had just been procured, just this handsome ship came down, and it cost more than 100,000 taels of silver, so it was completely scrapped, and the loss was huge!

However, Zheng Cai was just a distressed drop of blood, and now Shi Lang was so angry that he even bit his lips, and the handsome ship was burned down, along with all the munitions on the battleship, all of them were scrapped! This time, there is no hope at all, and the Inspector must not be mad?

"Chase, chase! Keep on the pursuit! Fuck, even if we chase Hirado Mishima, we're going to catch them too! ”

Shi Lang kept urging his fleet to pursue fiercely, and the cannonballs kept firing.

In the distance, Cha Zhu and Qin Mufeng were above the flagship, and they could see it clearly, as soon as the handsome ship burned down, Cha Shu's heart was almost half cold, and it was completely finished, all the muskets and ammunition of the Ordnance Division were all lost! Of course, this is not the worst situation, if these arms arrive in Dongying safely, it will be fatal, it is equivalent to directly financing the enemy, now, well, sinking into the sea, at least they can't use it, Tian Chuan and Zheng Cai also want to be able to get cheap, we are not afraid to calculate the account!

"Forget it! Lao Cha, give the order, order all the fleets to return to Songjiang Mansion, there is no point in chasing again, we can't catch up with ......"

Qin Mufeng, who was standing side by side, was full of frustration on his face, this time he really suffered a loss, which was more disgusting than eating a fly, and he forcibly let a few red-haired devils escape from Nanjing all the way out of the Yangtze River estuary, and finally walked away!

"Ah......h

Cha Zhu Yang Tian roared angrily, "Tian Chuan, Zheng Cai!" You two wait for Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu doesn't talk about your cramps and farts, and swear not to be a person! Order, collect troops! ”

Cha Zhu and Qin Mufeng hated to collect the troops, and returned all the way back to Songjiang Mansion.

came to the mouth of the Yangtze River, Yang Geng and Zheng Haotian hurried up together!

"Master Overseer, the subordinate officials are incompetent and did not leave these rebellions behind, please punish the Lord Inspector......"

The two of them were full of shame, and bowed down to confess to Cha Shu.

"Okay, I don't blame you for this matter, the governor will naturally ask the emperor for guilt, but you two have to be ashamed and brave!"

Cha Xuan said coldly, "Our entire navy poured out, and even let these pirates easily break out of the encirclement and get rid of us, this is the shame of our imperial navy, you carved Lao Tzu on the tip of your heart, never forget, step up the training of the navy, all for Lao Tzu to pull to the sea, live ammunition exercises, be sure to run in the combat power for me in the shortest possible time!" ”
