Chapter 564 Really

But this still makes the Zheng family navy feel that they can still fight here.

They have many ships.

In the face of the upcoming profits, the loss of thirty-four small boats and one bird boat is not unacceptable.

As for what benefits?

Of course it's the Black Flag Treasure Ship.

Zheng Zhilong summoned a fleet with such great fanfare that he did not hesitate to gamble his hegemony foundation in the East China Sea for the sake of the black flag treasure ship.

And the weapons on the Black Flag treasure ship.

The Eight Banners knew that flying thunder cannons and black muskets were good things. Zheng Zhilong traveled all over the country and roamed the seas for decades, and also fought against the fleet of the Dutch East India Company. He understood the most important basis for supporting his maritime supremacy.

Advanced naval warfare ships and firearms.

Without a powerful warship, it is nothing.

Previously, the Japanese nation was attacked by a black flag navy and a black ship. People from the Zheng family in the Japanese nation's Nagasaki Port witnessed the whole process and collected extremely detailed information about the treasure ship and sent it to him. At that time, he was shocked.

Not long ago, there was a battle with the Nanyang Fleet in Hangzhou Bay. Among the hundreds of pirate ships, there were many bird ships, fire ships, jump gang clippers, etc.

Even if the Dutch East India Company gathers all their ships currently in the East China Sea and South China Sea, this fleet can also have a chance.

However, they were defeated by the treasure ships of the Ming Dynasty's Nanyang advance fleet and failed to destroy even one of the treasure ships.

The difference in weapons alone is too big.

So Zheng Zhibao's idea this time is very simple.

Sink or paralyze the ship opposite that is equipped with the most advanced weapons, capture it, and send the weapons to Fuzhou or Damuan Island for further study.

Replication should be no problem.

Once you have the items, you can retreat.

With this idea in mind, Zheng Zhibao received a reply from the Ming Dynasty's Nanyang advance fleet.

They were willing to help attack the Black Flag Navy, but their company manager had to meet with Zheng Zhilong in the name of Wang Chengen after the battle to discuss some matters.

"They are coming, right?"

"That's what you said! Fifth Master!"

Zheng Zhibao's face was confused for a moment, but he still punched his palm: "Let Mr. Wan take the lead and be on guard! Let them attack the savages from a flank!"

An order was given here, and the Zheng family fleet, which had become somewhat confused during the fight with the Black Flag Navy, detached a fleet and separated from the main force and sailed towards the edge.

At the same time, artillery fire from the sea continued.

After the fireship was released, there was no crew to control it, and there was no east wind to help it. After a short distance, it became a target. It would either explode directly when the fuse time was up, or be blown up by the Black Flag naval gun.

After that, the Black Flag navy forced back the clippers that kept trying to break in and try to join the gang, while at the same time fighting with the main fleet of the Zheng family in the distance.

This also caused the Black Flag Navy to be followed by dozens of clippers at the end of the line.

In such a fight, the Ming Nanyang Fleet appeared on the edge of the battlefield and rushed in quickly! It quickly approached the battlefield.

At this time, the Zheng family sent a speedboat to deliver the message. Before they could even shout under the treasure ship, a group of gunmen poked their heads out from above!

"Bang bang bang!"

The firecrackers exploded in succession! The person who came up to deliver the message on the speedboat suddenly became a sieve!

On the treasure ship, Wang Cheng'en's family members and Wang Weiren, the general manager of the Nanyang Fleet, were also holding telescopes to observe the battle situation. The fleet also followed their orders and ignored the warning bombardment of the Zheng family fleet, and directly began to form a double flank with the Black Flag Navy.

!

And the artillery on the treasure ship soon exploded!

"Fifth Master! That castrated dog's fleet has turned against the enemy!"

No need to send messages anymore.

Anyone with eyes could see the cannonballs flying over, and Zheng Zhibao gritted his teeth.

Is there any moral justice left in the world?

Everything you say should be treated as farts, right?

He suddenly raised his head and was about to issue a retreat order, but then remembered that his uncle Zheng Zhiwan was leading a fleet in front of the Ming Dynasty's Nanyang Fleet.

On the Black Flag Savage side, a ship was partially paralyzed. The fleet lost more small boats. The sea was still calm, so all the people who fell into the water were rescued.

"Let Mr. Wan's subordinates block it for a moment! Just two quarters of an hour will be enough!"

What a coincidence.

The order was given here. Zheng Zhiwan, who had been ordered to guard against the Nanyang Fleet, ran away.

"Uncle Wan? Where is Uncle Wan's boat!?"

The bows of the fleet were astonished and could not find the backbone. Only some people might be able to spot the back of the backbone, so they simply gritted their teeth and followed closely, and ran away together.

Soon the fleet blocking the Nanyang Fleet's advance 'moved' with the large force.

Zheng Zhiwan, who took the lead in deserting, also had his reasons.

He was very old. When he was ordered to attack the Nanyang Fleet in Hangzhou Bay, he was still on the front line. If he hadn't noticed the powerful firepower of the Nanyang Fleet, he would have almost taken the lead and charged forward.

This time, he was asked to take a hundred or so ships to stop the Nanyang Fleet?

Cannons don't have eyes.

So he chose to order the bow of the ship below to die.

But the bow of the boat also has a brain.

So when Zheng Zhibao received the news about his uncle's escape from across the sea, the Nanyang Navy fleet was already pouring firepower on the other side of the Zheng Family Navy.

The Zheng family's ships hurriedly avoided the explosion and were quite helpless in the fight.

Zheng Zhibao could only wave his hand and let his fleet go their separate ways.

There was no need for him to say anything at this time.

Two of the flagships and escort fleets carrying the blood relatives of the Zheng family have gone away, and the battle situation is also extremely pessimistic. After the previous battle in Hangzhou Bay, the Zheng family's strength in the East China Sea has been greatly damaged. This time, they cannot defeat the warships.

Used to supervise battles.

The pirate gangs that had attached themselves to the Zheng family had dispersed like birds and beasts. Without them, the Zheng family's main force of more than 60 bird ships had been fighting back and forth against the Black Flag before. In the blink of an eye, they were attacked by the Nanyang Fleet.

Not even able to support it.

The small boats scattered like birds and beasts, while the big ships fought and retreated under the command of Zheng Zhilong, heading towards Fuzhou.

The Black Flag Navy and the Ming Dynasty Nanyang Fleet chased each other for less than half an hour, and then seemed to gradually get closer during the pursuit. The two fleets fired cannons at each other in the eyes of the pursued Zheng family fleet, and quickly distanced themselves.

Due to the retreat, when Zheng Zhibao received the news, the 'naval battle' between the two enemy fleets behind him had already ended, and they were also out of the battle.

"Fifth Master, would you like to go back and take a look? There might even be a fight between the savage and the gelding fleet!"

"Pu you Amu!"

Zheng Zhibao's heart was raging, and he was kicked into the sea by the person who came to ask questions.

It's okay if my brother runs away.

Zheng Zhilong is the backbone of the Zheng family's official party and the king of Nan'an in the Ming Dynasty. If something goes wrong with him, the entire Nanhai official party's Wu Shang and Zheng Jiajun, as well as many local gangs headed by the Tiandihui, will be in trouble.

It collapsed.

But Uncle also ran away.

In addition, his previous negotiations with the two enemy armies were betrayed, so how could he dare to turn back.

Their boat was faster, but it was not easy to escape. It took five bird boats to escape.

If this were to turn back.

What if the two of them attack together again?

If they say they are fighting, they might be trying to lure him back.

The firepower of the big ship on the opposite side is particularly fierce. There are many damaged ships that have escaped here. If they are attacked again, more than a dozen ships will be damaged!
