Chapter 643 Encircling Zheng Zhilong

Qi Yuanbi, who was standing at the bow of the boat, was furious by this scene.

When these people saw the Royal Navy coming, they dared to come forward?

Turning his head and looking at Yu Zigao beside him, Qi Yuanbi asked, "What should I do?"

Yu Zigao said without any hesitation, "Fire the cannon, sink their ships first."

"Okay." Qi Yuanbi nodded.

The order was passed down quickly, and no one thought there was anything strange about this order.

I am the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty. If you don’t talk about anything else, you dare to follow me. This is your sin. In this vast sea, we have already given others face without robbing others. Do you dare to follow behind secretly?

Of course, this crime is enough to kill them.

If the other party really wants to discuss something with him, he should come forward and send a message as soon as possible instead of following him with his might.

In the eyes of the Royal Navy soldiers, this is the nude provocation.

There is nothing to say about such a provocation, just use a cannon to hit it back.

They quickly removed the baffle, adjusted the muzzle, and loaded shells. They were as steady and rapid as they usually trained.

Zheng Zhilong's subordinates stood beside Zheng Zhilong. After seeing this scene, they said hesitantly: "General, why do I feel something is wrong? The sails on the opposite side are obviously accelerating, and the warships are also coming over."

"They put down the baffle and the cannon is coming!"

"This is going to fire!"

His subordinates were a little panicked, their tone was a little different, and they were filled with a hint of fear.

They really didn't want to go to war with the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty. Who knows how powerful the Royal Navy is.

Recently, news of the Ming Dynasty's victory in the Northern War has spread. It is said that the Ming army cannot stop it. The one who won that battle was the Ming Dynasty's royal army.

Now in front of me is the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who is given the name Royal, everyone knows that it is an elite unit built by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty at all costs.

The royal navy of the Ming Dynasty must have had great combat power, especially in terms of firepower.

These people who have been fighting at sea for many years know how important cannons are when fighting at sea. If the Ming Dynasty had better warships and more powerful cannons, many things would be difficult to deal with.

Zheng Zhilong naturally understood.

He put down the telescope in his hand and said, "What are you panic? How far is it? How can their guns be shot so far? Don't be anxious."

"They do this just to deter us and beware of us at the same time. If we launch an attack, they can also be wary of it in advance."

"I have to say that this is a well-trained army, and their generals are not idiots."

Yu Zigao, who was standing opposite the Ming warship, turned to Qi Yuanbi and said, "Are you ready?"

"It's ready." Qi Yuanbi nodded and said.

"Then fire the gun, and at the same time tell the surrounding warships to be ready to press over at any time. After firing the gun here, press on and surround them. I want to see who dares to follow me!"

"Don't you drive away?" Qi Yuanbi was stunned and said hesitantly.

"Turn away? Why do you need to drive away?" Yu Zigao sneered and said, "No matter who the other party is, since we dare to treat us like this, we can hit them. Anyway, since we have hit, we can do it in one step."

"Look at the ships of their ships, many of them are cargo ships, they are all good things, they are all cut off. Not to mention the others, as long as they are sold to North Korea, it will be a lot of money. Then we can also make some private money by handing over to the court."

"Isn't this good?" Qi Yuanbi said hesitantly: "We are the royal navy. It is not a good thing to rob other people's things on the sea. If someone impeaches us, we will not be able to pass the level of His Majesty."

After looking at Qi Yuanbi, Yu Zigao gave him a blank look and said, "Hasn't you followed your father on the battlefield since you were a child? Why are you still so naive? Who is the person opposite? That's the enemy!"

"If we defeat the things that the enemy stolen, can that be called robbery? It is called seizure, and the things we get are also called spoils."

"Tell your men that the guns in front should not hit those cargo ships, but directly hit their warships. You must shoot accurately. If you go down one round of guns, you must knock down one-third of their warships."

"I understand." Qi Yuanbi nodded.

Although I was still worried, I thought what Yu Zigao said made sense, but I also thought something was strange.

But when Qi Yuanbi thought that Yu Zigao was his uncle, he didn't think about it anymore.

If you have a higher official position than me and have a greater seniority than me, then that's what you do.

After the order was passed, the Royal Navy launched quickly.

As the flag was swung, the cannon sounded instantly, and the shells flew out in a rotating manner, and rushed directly towards the opposite fleet.

"They're firing, they're firing!" Zheng Zhilong's side shouted in panic.

"How can you panic? It's so far away, at most it's a warning, and they can't hit it." Zheng Zhilong glared at his subordinates and said.

Then he picked up the telescope and looked over, and his expression frozen the next second.

In the telescope, he could clearly see the flight trajectory of the shells.

The shells were very fast. Before Zheng Zhilong could react, a shell had already landed next to a warship.

With a rumbling explosion, it exploded, and instantly exploded a wave of water on the sea surface.

Then came one after another. Although not many of them hit, two warships were directly destroyed.

The shells fell on the wooden warship and exploded instantly, directly blowing out a big hole in the wooden warship.

You should know that the artillery and shells of the Ming Dynasty did not use black gunpowder, but more powerful explosives, with a long range and great power.

In today's era, no country's artillery manufactured by artillery can be compared with the Ming Dynasty. In this case, wooden warships have no defense in front of such shells.

Zheng Zhilong's face changed drastically, and he quickly put down the telescope in his hand and said, "Hurry up! Retreat!"

But although their warships are not big, they are not small, so it is not that easy to turn around?

And it is more of a cargo ship, full of cargo, so it is not easy to stop the ship and turn around.

However, Zheng Zhilong was extremely anxious because he knew that the opponent was not inaccurate in this round of shooting, but the first time the gun was fired, and the muzzle was adjusted vaguely.

After this experience, the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty will adjust the muzzle very well, and the next round will be a fatal attack.

Judging from the two shattered warships, the guns on the opposite side have a long range and great power, which is not comparable to them. As for rushing up, there is no need to think about it. There is no chance at all, and the range is too far apart.

Even if you can reach the range of your shooting range, your warship will probably be completely lost, and it is unrealistic to fight back.

So running is the key.

The opposite side needs to load shells and clean the barrel, so time is still in time.

At this time, his subordinates hurriedly said, "Okay, general."

After saying that, his subordinates quickly went to find someone, preparing to send out an order immediately and everyone ran away together.

However, neither he nor Zheng Zhilong expected that the reloading speed of the Royal Navy opposite was too fast.

Now the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty used rear-mounted cannons. As long as the shell is withdrawn and a shell is stuffed again, the firing rate is far from that of previous artillery artillery.

There is no need to clean the barrel of metal fixed shells, at least you don’t need to clean the barrel of a single shot.

Before the person who was sending the order to Zheng Zhilong could pass it out, the cannon on the opposite side fired again.

"Dongdong! Dadongdongdongdongdong!" The explosion sounded instantly across the sea surface, and the shells flew over as they rotated.

Collision, explosion, screams in a wide range.

Zheng Zhilong's eyes widened and his heart trembled.

This time, even though I had overestimated the opponent's artillery, I still underestimated it. I won't mention the rate of fire, and the aiming level is too accurate.

How did you shoot artillery so accurately?

Zheng Zhilong stared at him and couldn't believe it.

But before he could react, the cannon on the opposite side rang again, "Dongdong! Dadongdongdongdong!"

Like last time, the shells spun and landed in Zheng Zhilong's fleet, and countless ships were directly bombed into the sky.

The entire fleet had more than 200 warships, and after three shellings, more than 50 were absolutely sunk.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong's fleet finally stopped and began to turn around, but the speed was still not increased.

Zheng Zhilong looked at the Royal Navy opposite him in fear.

The opponent did not fire this time, which made him feel relieved.

But before Zheng Zhilong took a breath, the Royal Navy's warship rushed up like an arrow, directly surrounding his fleet.

Zheng Zhilong's heart was abrupt. Is this going to surround him?

Zheng Zhilong was not wrong. On the Ming Dynasty, Yu Zigao nodded with satisfaction and said, "This round of cannons is well-developed, and it seems that the training is effective."

"It's too bad." Qi Yuanbi said angrily: "In my opinion, it should at least double the accuracy."

"Take it slow, don't be too greedy." Yu Zigao patted Qi Yuanbi's shoulder and said with a smile.

Qi Yuanbi curled his lips, "Our firearms are so excellent that they can't be hit with such cannons to satisfy me. I have to train them carefully when I look back."

Yu Zigao didn't say anything more.

Qi Yuanbi’s demands are not a bad thing. He often cries in daily life and less bleeding in wartime. What’s more, this is a naval battle.

If the ship is sunk, the possibility of survival is too low. So the best way is to annihilate the enemy first. Although one shell cannot annihilate the enemy, it is always good to fight on the right track.

"Their ship looks good!" Yu Zigao changed the topic.
