Chapter 1142: It's Kind of Interesting
And when Chen Quinoa ordered the warship to break away from the merchant ship, the fastest way to break away was naturally for the two sides to sail in a staggered direction.
Merchant ships go south, and warships naturally go north, so they break away faster.
But at this time, Chen Quinoa ordered a retreat, so he needed to turn around, could it be that he went all the way north to the old nest of the Duanzhou Landscape Master?
Chen Quinoa was not arrogant enough to attack the Zhoushan Naval Division with sixteen warships.
But here's the problem, the merchant ships are heading south, and the Zheng family fleet, which is breaking away from the north, needs to turn back.
What will happen?
Naturally, it was blocked by merchant ships, and it was blocked by enough time and calmly.
When the Zheng fleet was ready to retreat south, it was discovered that the merchant ships had also turned their heads.
It stands to reason that warships turn around faster than merchant ships.
But at this time, these merchant ships were not loaded at all, but were loaded with empty wooden crates, and on each ship, there were a hundred musketeers.
The draft is not deep, and it is easy to turn around.
Moreover, the ship was to turn one hundred and eighty degrees, and the merchant ship was to turn half of its head, at an angle of ninety degrees, and then to the side, with the side facing the bow of the battleship.
Therefore, the merchant ship turned around faster than the Zheng family's warship.
When Chen Quinoa heard this, he didn't panic, and even had an emotion and urge to be sadistic in his heart.
Dare to stand in the way of my warship?
Aren't you afraid I'll knock you in two?!
That's right, warships collide with merchant ships in this way, and most of the merchant ships break off at the waist.
Chen Quinoa quickly ordered, accelerated, and crashed over!
But is that really the case, that the people on the merchant ships are so stupid?
At this time, Chen Quinoa could clearly see with the naked eye that many soldiers climbed out of the wooden boxes on the more than a dozen merchant ships horizontally, one by one, holding a one-person-high plank, and jumped into the sea from the other side of the merchant ship.
What is this going to do, Chen Quinoa was stunned, daring to know that the merchant ship could not stop the warship, so he chose to jump into the sea and flee for his life?
Think about it, yes, want to block it with an empty boat, but does it work?
Soon, Chen Quinoa knew the answer.
The soldiers who jumped into the sea swam to the merchant ships behind.
Chen Quinoa was surprised, but he was not afraid, in his opinion, it was nothing more than that the other party wanted to stop it, and he knew that he couldn't stop it.
The battleship crashed straight over, and the loss would not be too great, as for these people, Chen Quinoa didn't have time to pay attention to it, so he fled if he fled.
At this point, it was close to a distance of less than a nautical mile.
At this time, a merchant ship suddenly "boomed" with a loud bang and exploded.
The violent explosion blew up the merchant ship almost like it bounced off the sea, and then broke off and smashed into the sea, sending countless debris scattered in the sky.
Chen Quinoa suddenly realized that these merchant ships were loaded with a huge amount of gunpowder, and if they collided, they would not be blown up and sunk immediately?
You must know that at this time, even if it is a new type of warship purchased by Wu Zheng from Europe, it is also a sailboat, wooden, nothing more than a layer of iron plates wrapped in the bow and the critical part of the ship, if you want to resist this kind of explosion, it is impossible, not to mention the wooden warship of the Zheng family decades ago.
This consciousness made Chen Qu shout hysterically, "Hurry up and play the flag...... Veer...... No, lower the sails now! Stop the boat! ”
If you don't stop the ship at this distance, I'm afraid you can't avoid the turn.
Previously, Chen Quinoa ordered to speed up the ramming of merchant ships, and the speed of the battleship had been increased to the extreme.
But at this time, relying on the rudder to steer, such a distance, due to inertia, it must be unavoidable.
Chen Quinoa finally got it right for a while, and the sixteen warships, under Chen Quino's command, stopped back and forth.
But the closest warship to the merchant ship was less than five zhang away.
If the power of the previous explosion is followed, it will be enough to affect this battleship.
But before Chen Qu could breathe, the fleet that could only see a ship line in the distance before had already appeared not far away.
Chen Quinoa could even see the black pirate flag hoisted on the first few warships (Wu Zheng was vulgar, and he thought that the East China Sea was the Caribbean Sea).
This flag Chen Quinoa is very familiar, Wang Deren's fleet.
But hasn't Wang Deren been exterminated by Wu Song's water master?
Chen Quino's heart was cold, he knew that he would not be able to go back today, since this black pirate flag appeared here, and Wang Deren was no longer there, then who would be the master of this fleet, the answer was about to come out.
The opposing ships had formed an oblique thrust into their own course, and the fleet formed a line in the direction in which it was heading, and the enemy's ships were facing their bows, firing one round at a time, like a cat playing with a mouse under its paws.
But Chen Quinoa knew that this was the other party ready to shoot a salvo.
When a cannonball "roared" on the water less than a zhang away from the bow of Chen Quinoa's flagship, and the water column rose up and watered the entire bow, Chen Quinoa gave an order - hang the white flag and drop!
If it doesn't come down, it's really too late, and it will be a catastrophe.
Chen Quinoa can only hope that the two sides have not completely torn their faces and can negotiate to resolve the differences, which is better than being wiped out on the spot at this time.
……。
Wang Yilin is an old man.
In Wu Zheng's return to Shaoxing Mansion, it is already a hundred households and thousands of households.
There is a set of leading soldiers, and his method is passed on from his uncle Wang Zhiren.
Kill decisively, a group of cronies, unite a group, suppress a group, and kill a group.
Killing people is powerful, the dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger has to squat.
Whoever is not convinced, floating in the sea.
The support point of this method is that Wang Yilin must have a group of his own people around him, so as to spread to the periphery, with two belts, two grams and four, and four pressing eight.
In this way, it is possible to control an unfamiliar army in a short time.
This method has been passed down since ancient times, and even when later generations of warlords divided it, it was tried and tested.
The most important thing is that it must be good to the confidants!
How good is it, eating and sleeping together, cultivating feelings, until they are regarded as relatives, so that these henchmen can resolutely die at a critical moment, which is called blind obedience.
This is also the reason why Wang Yilin asked Wu Zheng and Zhang Mingzhen to ask for help.
Because there are not many remnants of Wang Zhiren's water division, more than 100 people, for the thousands of people in Wang Deren's department, it is a drop in the bucket.
Wang Yilin used this set to control Wang Deren's department in less than a month.
Although the operation was delayed due to the settlement of the clan, Wang Yilin still had his hands on it to say that such a naval battle was outnumbered.
"In fact, among the more than 20 merchant ships, there are only two ships, each loaded with 800 catties of gunpowder." Wang Yilin almost said in a playful tone to Chen Quinoa, who was kneeling in front of him.
Chen Qu Muran said: "Even so, our department will not be able to escape back to Xiamen, your naval division has completed the artillery calibration, and after a round of salvo fire, our department can escape no more than fifty percent." ”
Wang Yilin was a little surprised, "Fifty percent escaped, a lot, why don't you fight?" ”
"As a result, if it is more than half of the loss, it is better to fall, military law is ruthless!" Chen Quinoa said leisurely, "At least the adults won't kill the people who have descended, right?" ”
Wang Yilin suddenly made sense!
Failing to succeed and suffering a fiasco, this is a big sin for any force.
Even if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.
