This army of the Tiger Dynasty was the direct line of Danxi. Following Danxi's campaign for decades, their understanding of war was indeed as Qin Feng said, as Qin Feng said, more profound than the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. When Drop read that they had extremely unfavorable situations in this war, the other generals also reacted. Then they faithfully executed the orders from the flagship. At this time, all the navy generals understood that they might not be able to escape the fate of destruction. The enemy's warships were too fast and their firepower was too strong, and they could attack them as much as possible outside their range. If they adopted the previous cluster mode, they would only be wiped out by their opponents in groups.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty warships were fighting this. The Taiping combat formation and the Dachu combat formation each had only fifteen warships, but they were trying to surround the more than 100 Tiger Dynasty warships with thirty warships, relying on their speed.

When Ning Zeyuan formulated this tactic, he was a replica of the tactics of destroying the Pattaya fleet. The Pattaya fleet did not react at all, and was surrounded by him with only six warships and then wiped out one by one.

But now, these Western fleets have figured out the pros and cons of both sides in a short time. This battle mode, which is like a swarm of bees, seems to be a defeat, but it is the only way to deal with an opponent like the Ming Dynasty that has an absolute advantage.

Just imagine, when there are warships from the Tiger Dynasty everywhere above the vast sea, how can the Ming Dynasty warships with only thirty ships be surrounded?

When you try to attack part of it, the other part will approach you from different angles, attack you, and attack you. More importantly, at this time, these navy no longer care whether they win or fail. What they have to do is to ensure that the troops ships can land smoothly and send the army ashore. Otherwise, if the Ming warships catch up with these troops ships, it would be a disaster.

If so, they will suffer the most complete failure.

As long as some of them are still retained, hope will still be there. You must know that this expedition is not just their team, but also two other huge teams are moving towards the other two goals.

The explosion of a group of tiger fleets was scattered over a large area of ​​seas. These warships had actually broken through the encirclement of the Ming ship. If they escaped, they would not pay attention to the fleeing fleet at all, but would only concentrate on eliminating the remaining ones, and then use their mobility to pursue them. But these warships dispersed without exception and then drove towards the Ming warship from different directions.

Many warships were placed on top of some small boats. Each of these small boats was equipped with eight sailors, flying in pieces and rushing towards the Ming warships with extraordinary speed. They were very small and extremely flexible. If they were bombarded with cannons, the possibility of hitting was too low.

"These are fireboats." Zhou Li took a deep breath, "These boats are loaded with extremely flammable things, and they want to burn our boats."

Qin Feng nodded.

Zhou Li immediately began to issue orders. It was basically impossible to completely prevent such small boats from approaching. Of course, it was extremely difficult for the opponent to put on the Ming warship running at high speed. However, Zhou Li still issued an order to put out the fire. The sailors on the warship held the Ming 1 style and boarded the ship's side and began to aim at the sailors on the small boats that were sailing.

The navy of the Tiger Dynasty began to fight for his life, and the small boat sent out had no intention of going back alive. Even if they were posted on the Ming Dynasty warship, they would probably be directly crushed to the bottom of the sea by the opponent's huge warship in the next moment.

If the Ming warships concentrated on artillery shooting these small boats at this time, the enemy warships further away would take the opportunity to approach the Ming warships.

Zhou Li had seen Gaisen's warship, the giant trenchers equipped on the warships could cause damage to the Ming Dynasty warships. Instead of being beaten by such giant trenchers, Zhou Li would rather bet on the small boats to make the arson effect of those small boats.

The artillery continued to pour artillery fire towards the enemy ships in the distance. At the same time, the Ming warships that were originally lined up began to change their formations, and four of them moved closer to the Da Chu and wrapped the Da Chu in the middle.

The emperor was on the Da Chu, and Zhou did not need to issue an order, and the nearby warships would not allow these possible damage to the Da Chu.

"This is the real naval battle." Yang Tiexin was in a state of war and stared at the small boats that were rushing towards him quickly. Seeing that they were igniting a raging fire, the sailors on the boat still waved their arms desperately regardless of the fire, enduring the huge pain to prevent the ship from slowing down.

"Boys, fight more accurately," he shouted at the Marines on the ship. At the same time, the entire hull was adjusted to the angle, no longer facing the opponent on the side, but to move forward with the bow of the ship, which could minimize the area of ​​the enemy's attack.

The Marines held the Ming Dynasty Type 1 hand and half-squatted on the warship, putting the Ming Dynasty Type 1 gun on the side of the ship. It was much more difficult to shoot stably on the undulating battleship than on the land. What's more, the warship was still firing at this time, and every time the cannon roared, the hull would shake.

The sound of gunfire suddenly sounded, and the sailors on the nearest arson ship fell down one after another. The boat suddenly lost control, but still slid towards the Changyang as it was before. A marine stood up, pulled out a grenade from his waist, and threw it towards the boat.

The grenade was still very accurate and hit the small boat twenty meters away accurately. With the bang of bang, the small boat broke into two.

"Beautiful job," Yang Tiexin cheered loudly. But then he shouted, "It's really weird, the fires are still burning in the water."

Indeed, the arson ship had turned into pieces at this time, but the balls of fire were still burning on the sea.

Qin Feng on the Dachu also saw this scene. In fact, around at this time, many arson ships were already broken on the sea by the Marines of the Ming Navy, but the fire was still burning.

Qin Feng's face changed slightly.

"Hard-tempered oil"

Of course he knew this thing, but the Ming Dynasty had not discovered this thing yet. The current technological development of the Ming Dynasty did not urgently require such things that were crucial to future generations, so he was not very concerned about it, but he never expected that this thing would appear on the warships of the Tiger Dynasty.

"Zhou Li, tell everyone to be careful. This is hot turbulent oil and it cannot be eliminated with water. Is there any sand on the boat?" he asked loudly.

Zhou Li's face changed slightly when he saw this scene: "Your Majesty, some of them have sand on the boats, some have no."

Qin Feng took a deep breath: "Tell everyone that once the ship catches fire, you must not rinse it with water, otherwise, this kind of fire will rage everywhere in the direction of the water flow."

"I understand," Zhou Li said loudly.

Zhou Li's order was quickly transmitted to other warships. The Ming warship did not respond very effectively to this newly emerging weapon.

At this time of the naval battle, the Ming warships finally began to suffer casualties.

Kunling was the first to be hit.

A fireboat rushed to its vicinity. The sailors had very good skills in the boat handling. The moment they approached Kunling, the boat turned lightly and put it on Kunling. In an instant, the fire burned from near the Kunling waterline. Immediately, several marines threw the grenades, but when throwing the grenades, the sailors below stood up at the same time and threw the lit glass bottles one by one on the deck of Kunling.

The next moment, the boat turned into pieces, but the Kunling still burned, and some of the thrown glass bottles were broken on the spot, and some black grease flowed and began to burn quickly. But the casualties were the bottles that were not broken. After a brief burn, they burst open with a bang, and the splashing glass fragments immediately rushed up and injured the Marines who tried to throw the bottles back into the sea.

The fire burned on the deck and could not be destroyed with water. There was no sand on the Kunling. A Marine stunted and pulled a rain cloth from somewhere, spread it onto the fire, and then rolled back and forth on it. The fire was actually destroyed.

While everyone was relieved, the fire near the waterline under the ship's side was still burning. On the deck, the soldiers hurriedly ran, lifted the injured soldiers up and rushed to the infirmary in the cabin.

The Dachu, surrounded by four warships, will not be threatened by these arson ships for the time being. Zhou Li directed the artillery on the ship to provide fire cover for the warships on the periphery. At this moment, even the main gun on the bow of the ship was not idle. Although the chance of the main gun hitting the enemy is very low, the waves that caused by the explosion in the water can overturn several arson ships. If you are lucky enough to hit an enemy warship, it will basically make the opponent lose most of its combat effectiveness immediately.

The formation changes of the Ming army warship also fell into Drop's eyes. He immediately realized that there must be extremely important figures above this giant, and they are definitely not like the leader of the fleet. On such a battlefield, the flagship should lead everyone to fight, and will not be strictly protected like this.

"Shoot at that big ship and rush up," he shouted at the top of his lungs.

Looking at the opponent's warships rushing from all directions like moths to fire, Qin Feng sighed: "This is the real naval battle, this is the opponent with weight."
