Chapter 968: Nothing said, only fighting!

(0968)

【Today's third update is delivered!】

"Zhang Zhun, the grass is shabby!"

"The tiger army navy with a shabby grass!"

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

The people around him never understood why Zheng Zhilong had to add the word "cao" when scolding people. It seems that the dialect of any place does not have these two words. Perhaps, this was learned by Zheng Zhilong from the Japanese. However, they all knew very well that if Zheng Zhilong cursed these two words, he would be really angry.

Zheng Zhilong's heart was actually very entangled. He had no benefit in confronting him like this. He wanted to fight, but the Hu Ben Army didn't want to fight him. He wanted to save his son, and another poisonous snake was wandering at his feet. If he ignored this poisonous snake, the consequences would be very serious.

"The grass is shrunk!"

Zheng Zhilong became more angry the more he thought about it, and he couldn't help but curse.

The actions of the Hu Ben Navy are indeed too disgusting. This is obviously teasing the Zheng family fleet. The Zheng family fleet is in the south and there are still many things to do. The Dutch and Western powers, once they learn that the main force of the Zheng family fleet has gone north, they may have some action. He just wants to go and go back quickly, rescue his son quickly, and then hurry back to Fujian. However, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it will not be able to do it.

Zhou Zhengyu's mentality is slightly better than Zheng Zhilong. The news reported by Li Jicheng should be that the Tiger Army Navy had the upper hand. Therefore, Zhou Zhengyu was not very anxious. After judging that his opponent was Zheng Zhilong himself, he quickly made a decision. He must find a way to bite Zheng Zhilong hard.

As for how to bite, it is necessary to pay attention to strategy. If you bite at this time, you will definitely bite yourself into the blood of your neck. Zhou Zhengyu will not do such a stupid thing. The opponent's strength is obviously stronger than his own, and he rushed forward rashly. Isn't this seeking death? Zhou Zhengyu's meaning is to drag it down. Only by dragging the Zheng family fleet down can he take action.

Anyway, delaying time will definitely be beneficial to the Hu Ben Navy. In just a few days, Zhang Haibin's third fleet should arrive. As long as the third fleet arrives, you can go head-on and fight against the Zheng family fleet. Now, you have to endure it.

The sky gradually dimmed, and the sunset slowly disappeared on the sea level in the west, and the sea surface was vast. The confrontation ended like this. At night, the visibility was quite bad, and generally speaking, there would be no naval battle. This means that the deep wells tightly between the soldiers on both sides could be temporarily loosened.

"Great blessing!"

Zheng Zhilong suddenly shouted.

"master."

An old man came over hurriedly.

This old man named Zheng Dafu is actually Zheng Zhilong's confidant. The fleet he led has always followed Zheng Zhilong, basically Jiao Buli Meng, Meng Buli. In name, they are two fleets, but in fact, they are basically one. The two fleets are dispatched at the same time, and even if they encounter the Dutch fleet, they can escape unscathed.

Under normal circumstances, Zheng Zhilong would not let Zheng Dafu's fleet leave his side. Zheng Dafu is actually just a puppet, and everything is listened to Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong is used to commanding two fleets to fight at the same time. If a fleet is divided in the middle, he will not be able to maintain his absolute military advantage over the Hu Ben Navy.

However, the current situation is quite depressing. Zheng Zhilong cannot do anything without division of troops. If his two fleets were all restrained by the Hu Ben Navy, Zheng Chenggong in the Yangtze River would not know what consequences would be. If time continues to delay, it may be very unfavorable for Zheng Chenggong! For the sake of the present, there is only way to take a solution.

Zheng Zhilong finally decided to let Zheng Dafu lead his fleet into the Yangtze River and be responsible for rescuing Zheng Chenggong. He himself continued to restrain the Hu Ben Army Navy on the sea. After Zheng Dafu's fleet was separated, the number of warships directly commanded by Zheng Zhilong was much smaller than before, and his strength was weakened, which was very likely to attract attacks from the Hu Ben Army Navy.

However, Zheng Zhilong believed that with his strength after division of troops, he could still suppress the Hu Ben Navy. As long as there were three or four days, Zheng Dafu should be able to successfully rescue Zheng Chenggong. First defeat the Hu Ben Fleet in the Yangtze River, then join forces to continue to defeat the Hu Ben Fleet in front of him, and the Zheng family fleet will be able to win a complete victory.

Because of the difficulty of conveying information at sea, Zheng Zhilong didn't know that Zheng Chenggong had been shot at this time. He didn't know that Li Jicheng's fleet had been completely freed up, just waiting for more Zheng family fleets to arrive. Once Zheng Dafu's fleet entered the Yangtze River, it would immediately be attacked by Li Jicheng's fleet.

Zheng Zhilong was still very sure of his wishful thinking. According to the emergency information sent by Zheng Shouyuan, the one in the Yangtze River should be a fleet of the Hu Ben Navy. Zheng Dafu led a squadron of the Zheng family fleet. When it came to Zheng Chenggong's fleet, it was two fleets.

Two fleets attacked a fleet of the Hu Ben Navy, and they should still have a chance of winning. Even if they could not completely annihilate the opponent, at least they could guarantee Zheng Chenggong's retreat. His main task to go north this time was to rescue Zheng Chenggong. As long as the main task was completed, don't worry about the others for the time being.

"Oh shit!"

When Zhou Zhengyu found that the Zheng family fleet divided his troops to the estuary of the Yangtze River, he also cursed in a low voice.

Zheng Zhilong used such a trick, but Zhou Zhengyu was weak and could not stop it, and he felt very uncomfortable. Also because it was difficult to transmit information at sea, Zhou Zhengyu didn't know what Li Jicheng's current situation was. If Li Jicheng's current situation was just slightly superior, once the Zheng family's fleet's new force joined, Li Jicheng's first fleet might be in danger.

There is a communication base station for Bai Ge between the Great Governor's Office of the Hu Ben Army and Jeju Island. Therefore, the Second Fleet on Jeju Island soon received an order from Zhang Jun. However, after Zhou Zhengyu's fleet left Jeju Island, there was no communication base station. In other words, after going to sea, he could not rely on Bai Ge to communicate.

Zhang Zhun's order was to quickly reinforce Li Jicheng, and did not mention a very specific battle situation. Zhou Zhengyu estimated on the way that Li Jicheng could still hold on for a while. After arriving at the estuary of the Yangtze River, it was further estimated that Li Jicheng should have the upper hand. However, with Zheng Zhilong's reinforcement fleet, Li Jicheng was in trouble.

If he didn't find a way to enter the estuary of the Yangtze River, he would not be able to reinforce Li Jicheng. If there was an accident in Li Jicheng's first fleet, he would be to blame. However, Zheng Zhilong was placed in front of him. It was indeed not easy for the second fleet to enter the estuary of the Yangtze River.

After the division of troops, Zheng Zhilong personally led the main fleet, as well as thirty three-masted gunships and fifty armed merchant ships. Basically, the purer warships were all in the hands of Zheng Zhilong. It can be said that this time, Zheng Zhilong really pulled out all his old capitals. The essence of the Zheng family fleet is basically here.

Nothing said, only fighting!

Fight hard!

"Cross!"

"fire!"

Zhou Zhengyu gave the order without hesitation.

"Cross!"

"fire!"

Zheng Zhilong gave an order without being outdone.

As the overlord of one side, Zheng Zhilong is very confident in the combat effectiveness of his warships. These thirty three-masted gunships are the most powerful warships of the Zheng family fleet, the core of the Zheng family fleet, and the backbone of the Zheng family fleet.

The maintenance and maintenance of these three-masted gunships are the best in the Zheng family fleet. All artillery, including red-clothed cannons and other artillery, are also the most powerful. Due to cost, ordinary warships cannot use raw cowhide to wrap their bodies. However, these 30 three-masted gunships were all covered with raw cowhide by Zheng Zhilong. The ordinary shells fell and there was almost no harm.

It is precisely because of the strength of these 30 three-masted gunships that Zheng Zhilong was able to escape unscathed in the battle with the Dutch fleet. The Dutch fleet's artillery fire was indeed very fierce and bombed like rain. However, these three-masted gunships of the Zheng family fleet have good protection performance. As long as they are not interrupted by chain bombs or other masts, they can quickly leave the battlefield.

Zheng Zhilong was also full of confidence in his gunners. All the sailors under his command were old men of the Zheng family fleet, with the least experienced ones, and had at least five years of experience. Some of the backbones had even served the Zheng family fleet for twenty years. In addition to the gunners, there were also a large number of other special talents. They could also play a role when necessary.

On the contrary, the oldest Navy in the Hu Ben Army has less than five years of experience. The Hu Ben Army has not been in the process of being established since its establishment. Even people like Li Jicheng and Zhang Haibin have served in the navy and have not been able to make a living at sea for a long time.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

The sound of cannons rumbling and the smoke filled the gun.

The artillery battle between the two sides entered the most intense state from the beginning. The two sides adopted a one-line tactic that was head-on, that is, everyone lined up and bombarded each other. The warships of the Hu Ben Army Navy traveled from east to west, using guns on the starboard side to shoot. The warships of the Zheng Family Fleet traveled from west to east, using guns on the port side to shoot.

It takes two hours to start from the beginning of the first battleship, and the vigorous artillery bombardment begins, until the last battleship leaves the battlefield and the sound of artillery stops. After the first round of bombardment is over, both sides turn the bow of the ship, use the side of the ship on the other side, and continue bombarding until they leave again.

The six dragon god ships, red-clothed cannons and flying dragon cannons of the Tiger Army Navy were all crazy. These six dragon god ships are the treasures of the Second Fleet. Whether they can fully exert their power determines the final outcome of the battle.
Chapter completed!
